I started a new music playlist "start your day screaming covered in Alien blood", please suggest appropriate songs with the requisite amount of Vasquez energy https://infosec.exchange/@codinghorror/116027746912034080

I got this so far

Metallica — Master of Puppets
Slayer — War Ensemble
Sepultura — Arise
Megadeth — Hangar 18
Pantera — Cowboys from Hell
Anthrax — Caught in a Mosh
Drowning Pool — Bodies

instant authority - sustained attack - huge combat momentum - gets right to the anger

ok here's what I got so far and I will stan this list, it even goes in the correct order.. reach → swarm → escalation → biblical blood event.. it could be improved of course, but try it out.. see what you think https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/533076d7c51341438a35e65722b36d0esune

@codinghorror Ooooooh, Fireteam Elite is such good fun! It's fine solo, but really shines when playing with friends.

If you're an Aliens fan, you may also really enjoy Aliens: Dark Descent. Think X-Com but in real time and set in the Aliens franchise. The game captures the tension of the first half of Aliens exceptionally well, and worth a playthrough.

@codinghorror I've not been able to sign into Amazon Music on a desktop browser for over a year (something account based multiple support calls have not resolved). Stream to my desktop from my phone... but I just clicked that and figured I'd try... and it worked! Must be a sign.
