I can't pick just one band, however, I clearly remember the first time I listened to

• Black metal as a genre
• Aphex Twin
• Aenima by Tool
• Traversee by Year of no light
• Black Sabbath
• Industrial Rock in general and Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails in particular
• Hyperballad by Björk

I'm sure there are more if I think for longer.

It was really good to be honest.

There are discussions about boardgames and TTRPGs in Gaming, even if that community is mainly focused on videogames

Of course not 😅 I'm not judging them at all, I finished years ago that phase where I thought my music taste what better than theirs ~~now I just know it is~~ /s

I linked it somewhere else in the thread. I'm finding there a lot of "new" stuff really interesting, even some of my favourites album are included here!

But I thought the first sign of getting old was making those noises when sitting down, etc.

I have never used rateyourmusic to check new stuff, but it was mentioned before in the thread. Is it good?

I still use last.fm, scrobbling pretty much everything I listen to from different platforms. The suggestions are usually spot on. Otherwise, the spotify radios related to specific groups or record labels help a lot too.

I'm doing something similar following this project https://1001albumsgenerator.com you don't need to register with an email, although it helps. A new album is suggested everyday, and even if they are not they kind of music you usually like, I am sure you will be able to appreciate why it was included in the list.

Some internet radios can be great to find out new bands, but I agree with you: things can get a bit same-y if always listening to the same genre.

Adulting is hard, less time to explore new music. What do you like?

For solo RPG? The standard suggestion nowadays is Ironsworn to be honest. And it's free! I wasn't a big fan at the beginning, so I started with Scarlet Heroes, it has everything you need to play pretty much any OSR game.

Then there are lots of specific games for solo, especially journaling games. Or using game master emulators you can play almost anything (Mythic GME is the most famous for a good reason).

What would you like to try? I'm quite new on this area but I might be able to suggest a couple of books. There are a lot of tools available to play anything available in the market.

I agree. Once you get how it works, the rythm is interesting. I have seen some people complaining about the big book with lots of rules (moves), but actually is just the same one again and again: 2D10 vs 1D6+modifiers
