Thank you for doing this, now I can more effectively manage my cat community subscriptions to get the perfect ratio of cat to everything else!

Gila! Gila!

I heard Gila Monster and Dragon as singles already, of course. I was impressed with both - maybe Dragon wins by a snout for the more interesting (IMO) guitar riffs, and the syncopation between those and the drums/bass is pretty cool. The overall style being less thrash and more prog sounding than Gila Monster makes me favor it a bit more as well. Gila Monster sounds like it could have been made by Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets era Metallica - if they took themselves a little less seriously - which is very badass too.

I will listen to the album all the way through tonight and report back!

I am pretty sure I saw a homelab community on lemmy.ml already, just FYI.

Cat regret, lol.

Actively searching for new music is fun to me. I ask for recommendations from close friends, family members, people I know online, and just the internet in general. Typing 'artist that sounds like _______' into a search engine has been surprisingly successful, almost on par with the other methods, lol.

I also just recently discovered Bandsintown, which suggests artists playing live in my area that are similar to the ones I am already following (i.e., willing to pay money to see). I listen to a few of their songs and if I like them enough, now I have a new performance to go to!

For every song I listen to from my teens/20s, I listen to at least 2-3 songs from artists I discovered much more recently. The amount of good music is never the problem - there's just not enough time in the day!

Final Fantasy IV (released as FFII in North America) is my favorite of all time, just gorgeous. Shout out to Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 as well, for bringing a nice mix of rock and hip-hop subgenres into our homes.

Mostly vaping oil (live resin ideally) over the past 5 years due to the convenience and portability. However, I have recently become a fan of cannabis drinks. I take a cap full of 100 mg/mL apple-flavored drink and in 15 minutes (30 if I just ate) I am glassy-eyed and feeling good for the next 2-4 hours. It's reliable so I never get too baked or not baked enough. Also, better for my lungs!
