The pit in my stomach at the thought of losing all of my files was honestly pretty tense. The drive failed to read the first time, and was super slow to read the second time. The suspense lasted for a good several minutes.

I might have lost all of the research I've done for my thesis... that's like 50 pages of writing + countless notes, plus several other files

Would have lost ~80 gigs of music files

Seriously, it would have ruined me. It's a lesson to have a backup to the backup (which I have, but it's outdated)

I'm like really surprised you have 80 GBs of music lol.

I have that much and that's a LOT.

what genres do you listen to?

Fuck yeah I am

Mostly rock, but other things as well. Also have a decent chunk of "study music," which consists of video game OSTs and classical.

It's easier to say what I hate: country music from the 80s-present (although I like older country music like Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings, things with a faster tempo), overly sensitive R&B music with that complain-y voice, generally overly quiet/sedated music (like soft rock or indie). I mainly hate genres of music because of the typical vocals that are used lol.

people actually have music files still?

thats still a thing?

interesting

I don't mind older country/folk. Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Marty Robbins, stuff like that. But I like southern rock much better (Allman Brothers, Gov't Mule, Widespread Panic, stuff like that).

what classical music do you listen to?

The alternative being what

uh, spotify? some sort of music radio player type thing?

you're so cool

I try.
