Aldi's brand of bagels is better than Thomas for me and are about half the price. There's something that tastes oddly "sugary" about Thomas bagels in comparison.

I really enjoyed my first listen. Definitely a different beast than Infest the Rats Nest. This new album almost seems like a mixture of that album and Ice, Death, etc since this is much proggier. These guys don't miss!

I'm going to hop on the rateyourmusic bandwagon. I've been using it for many years and documenting the music you've heard by virtue of rating them is incredibly helpful to understanding your own taste and finding bands in a similar sub genre as your favorite music. The chart function is incredible.

Another way I discover new music is simply jotting down albums discussed in forums like this one that I haven't heard before. The trick is not be too picky and just jump into anything and everything. Not everything will be a winner but I've discovered some of my favorite music ever by simply checking out projects that other users mention.

My favorite cheap + delicious+ filling meal is eggs and toast.

Peanut butter and banana sandwich is also dirt cheap and delicious.

If you like third person shooters I would check out Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. I don't think it sold very well but it had a lot of charm and I remember having fun with it as a Ratchet and Jak fan.

Switch Pro controller. Xbox has a good controller but requiring AA batteries or an adjacent solution for a controller in 2023 is crazy. Switch Pro can last up to 40 hours on a rechargeable battery and it's just as comfortable.

I think the graphics and the art look fine. What I really want is for this game to be Obsidian's big comeback and for the RPG elements to feel fully realized and fleshed out. I'm not sure if I'm totally sold from the trailer but I have Game Pass and look forward to trying it anyway.
