28 and have a NAS with my SO. We buy 7th gen and older physically, digital games on Steam, and are in-process backing up our roms and ISOs. VHS, 8mm, DVD, Blu-ray, CD, Floppy, etc to backup too. I realize we are not representative though. I'm in IT and my partner works in graphics so we're almost pre-inclined.

2024-02-16 21:44:19 +0000 UTCSaw tool in Peoria several years ago, no pyro, but a lot of lasers. Can't remember the name of the Asian female lead opening band, but they were okay. During one of vocal lulls in the longer songs that Alex mentioned, Maynard was sat at a table on the corner of the stage playing cards with the singer from the opening band. Bizarre, who can say?

2024-01-22 00:58:48 +0000 UTCI am listening to the podcast and I'm loving that Tool is mentioned. I've seen them over 10 times live...maybe more...Tool is the best band on the planet and still puts out the best music. I saw them during the Lateralus tour with Meshuggah opening. You can imagine how powerful that concert was. My album ranking, in order of my favorite to least favorite would be 1. Lateralus 2. Aenima 3. Undertow 4. 10,000 Days 5. Fear Inoculum 6. Opiate
