I will!

Metallica for a dark, thoughtful mood

Dragonforce for fun, energetic, silly moods

Mick Gordon’s DOOM soundtrack when working out

Avenged Sevenfold for a carefree, fuck the world attitude

Blind Guardian when I’m looking for high fantasy, “take me away” mood

Sabaton when I want some motivation for work

Rhapsody of Fire for when I’m cleaning alone and want to get into some classical feeling stuff

Killswitch Engage when I’m feeling edgy

Korpiklaani when I’m wanting to go on a run

Parkway Drive when I’m angry or sad

There’s so many more than this, and much of these have overlap with specific songs instead of general artists, but this gets the point across, I think

So, this is gonna sound weird, but I actually find a lot of these bands calming to listen to. I’m autistic, and have a lot of weird sensory issues because of it, so music that’s too simple (a lot of pop or punk or other genres that show up on the radio usually) doesn’t fully grab my attention. Like, there’s not enough happening at once for me to feel immersed in it.

So I’ll end up listening to Power Metal to fall asleep sometimes because I can hear every instrument individually, and my brain switches focus to each one at random times, and it’s stimulating enough that I can be completely distracted from my other senses and calm down. Dragonforce is my go-to because they even have two lead guitarists at the same time.

That said, I do have songs of every genre in my library, and if I do want something slower or simpler, there’s a ton of Metal ballads that aren’t necessarily high energy. Try something like Crimson Day by Avenged Sevenfold, Remembrance Day or Trail of Broken Hearts by Dragonforce, Christmas Truce by Sabaton, or Mother Gaia by Stradivarius.

There’s a lot more examples, but you can certainly have slow, calm metal. I could probably make a decent sized playlist

I take it this is more like it?

Yeah, “jumped” is supposed to be “jumps”

Watch those wrist rockets!

Choose 3?

Pink, Black, and Blue. Easily best combo.

If I could only pick one, Black, all the way

Now imagine the scraping of steel against teeth on this and it just….

I was at a set of train tracks behind a large truck. Well, in front of him, a car was stalled with hazards on. He looks behind him, backs up to go around the guy, and taps my front bumper. Dude’s truck was so large he couldn’t even see me in the rear view, and the side mirrors made me invisible since the wheel wells were so wide.

I don’t even drive a tiny car or anything, just a mid-sized sedan….

I hate driving or riding in large vehicles though. I feel like they’re tall, unwieldy, and I’m short, so I usually can just see high enough to drive but always feel like I’m about to hit everything. Can’t imagine having one as a daily driver.

I don’t know about where you live, but I often make 150+ mile trips from where I live. Just to and from work is 190, and there’s nowhere to charge at work. I usually work from home, so that’s not a problem, but I just can’t afford to live anywhere closer.

If I could find one, I’d love to get an old Honda Insighf. Mfers get like 70+ miles to the gallon. With a 10 gallon tank, that could bring you 700 miles! More if you do some mods to it to improve MPG further.

To some degree. We’ve seen prices rise in the pandemic and drop back down substantially over time back to pre-pandemic numbers. Look at price trends for construction supplies, for instance. Not sure if that is what you’re referring to, however

((ALIVE!!!))
For a whiiiiile…
(No choice!!)
Gotta follow the laws of the wild!

TeckFire ,

Fun fact:

28 Zebraforce is equivalent to 1 Dragonforce

TeckFire ,

Many states have laws prohibiting the use of anything that isn’t hands free, including integrated media controls. Won’t stop anyone, but just because it’s illegal doesn’t mean people won’t do it. Same as speeding, or eating/drinking while driving in many states.
