aenHI FEDIVERSE!!!i am once again making an intro post to christen a new account, a new username, and the end of an era of my life!! so introduction once againhi, my name is aen (he/him), i’m british-indian, almost finished with my masters degree in cyber security (specifically i wanna do blue team stuff as a soc analyst / security engineer) and almost out of an internship!! i have adhd so i have my fingers in a lot of hobbies that i can’t balance at all. right now, i’m into:🎵 music:i LOVE albums and love <a href="https://www.albumoftheyear.org/user/aenthology/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">reviewing</a> them (although i’m not exactly good at it) and my favourite artist is björk! my favourite album of all time is <a href="https://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/1012480-magdalena-bay-imaginal-disk.php" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">imaginal disk by magdalena bay</a> though, and generally i just listen to a lot of art pop. i need to expand my horizons!📖 reading:i struggle to make time to read because of adhd, but reading is a passion i’ve had for a very long time. right now my favourite book is <a href="https://www.librarything.com/work/27569726/book/276211830" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">the spear cuts through water by simon jimenez</a> (literary fantasy) and you can also follow me on <a href="https://www.librarything.com/profile/aenthology" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">librarything</a> if you wanna see the other books ive read - that’s where i track my books and occassionally review them🎮 games:i am not a pro gamer. im so bad at games. love them though. my favourite game of all time is one i actually played less than two months ago - disco elysium. still haven’t really finished it, but i love that game so much. took an entire week out of my life but i don’t regret it! other than that, i end up playing a lot of indie games and a lot of roguelikes and roguelites, even if i’m shit at them🐉 dungeons and dragons:i say dnd because i haven’t played any other ttrpgs, but man i love dnd so much. i especially love making characters, and in games i usually try to make characters that feel indian. in dnd there are no restrictions and its so freeing and i get to feel seen with every character i make! right now the two characters i’m playing are <a href="https://dicecloud.com/character/JZhLW9MXJ2XF2xmy4/Oasis-Whisper-Distant-Rain" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">oasis whisper</a>, a tabaxi fighter who’s an archaeologist on a mission, and <a href="https://dicecloud.com/character/wYjYkci6chXgfpLYv/Jemadar-Baru" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">jemadar baru</a>, an ex-military minotaur who’s an enforcer for a gang. the best characters i’ve ever created i think.👾 pixel art:you may have seen me occassionally post some <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/aenthology.bsky.social/post/3laoj7txjos2c" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">pixel art</a> on my old account, and i really want to try and learn, but i got into a bit of a rut. couldn’t really commit to drawing anything, it was super frustrating. my sister has convinced me now that i should try relearning the basics of art in general (since i haven’t done that since my gcses) so hopefully you’ll see some more pixel art from me this year!other than that, you may also see me occasionally talk about dropout (and also smosh since i’ve been getting into them a lot) and hermitcraft, since that’s generally what my watching habits have gravitated towards. so if you’re into any of those, let’s be mutuals!! also heres my <a href="https://letterboxd.com/aen_the_acolyte/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">letterboxd</a>, i do watch movies sometimesyou wont see me talk about cyber security that often though, im dumb and there are smarter people hereTLDR: im aen, i do cyber security, i have adhd, and i like music and reading and games and dnd and pixel art and dropout and hermitcraft and a lot of other thingsanyway heres the wall of tags, im not skimping on them this time<a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/introduction" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#introduction</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/introductions" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#introductions</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/intro" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#intro</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/adhd" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#adhd</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/indian" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#indian</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/cybersecurity" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cybersecurity</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/infosec" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#infosec</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/music" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#music</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/albumoftheyear" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#albumoftheyear</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/björk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#björk</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/magdalenabay" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#magdalenabay</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/reading" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#reading</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/thespearcutsthroughwater" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#thespearcutsthroughwater</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/book" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#book</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/books" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#books</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/bookreview" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookreview</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/indiegames" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#indiegames</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/roguelike" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#roguelike</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/roguelite" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#roguelite</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/discoelysium" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#discoelysium</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/ttrpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ttrpg</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/dnd" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dnd</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/dungeonsanddragons" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dungeonsanddragons</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/pixelart" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pixelart</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/dropout" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dropout</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/dimension20" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dimension20</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/smosh" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#smosh</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/hermitcraft" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hermitcraft</a>

Jake in the desert graveyard ⚰Here it is, my top 20 albums of 2023. It's not ALL metal, although there's a lot of metal. I know not everyone likes metal (or brutal death metal) - but there's some rap, some punk, a little post punk- actually, my top 3 here are all non-metal. As always, let me know your thoughts, especially if you check some of them out, or already have.<a href="https://spacetimetech.wordpress.com/2023/12/19/my-top-20-favorite-lps-of-2023" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://spacetimetech.wordpress.com/2023/12/19/my-top-20-favorite-lps-of-2023</a><a href="https://c.im/tags/aoty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#aoty</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/aoty2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#aoty2023</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AlbumOfTheYear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlbumOfTheYear</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/punk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#punk</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PunkRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PunkRock</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GarageRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GarageRock</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/metal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#metal</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DeathMetal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DeathMetal</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BrutalDeathMetal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BrutalDeathMetal</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/rap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rap</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/hiphop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hiphop</a>

Trike Homard<a href="https://mastodon.ie/@Limerick1914" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Limerick1914</a> So far my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AlbumOfTheYear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlbumOfTheYear</a> is Lisa Leblanc's Chiac Disco <a href="https://lisaleblanc.bandcamp.com/album/chiac-disco" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://lisaleblanc.bandcamp.com/album/chiac-disco</a>It's got a really fun energy, and Lisa sings entirely in Chiac (a type of Acadian French) on this album, which even living close to l'Acadie isn't something I hear too often.

Liam HoganI know it’s very early for this, but I was wondering what your album of the year is? Looking for some gems which I’ve possibly missed. Mine is Sharon Van Etten’s We’ve Been Going About This All Wrong. It’s the only album released this year which I haven’t stopped playing since I first heard it. That’s my only barometer for greatness when it comes to music. <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/AlbumOfTheYear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlbumOfTheYear</a>
