This is a very narrow and limited way of seeing music. Music can be created for a purpose and a setting but once it’s out there it has no boundaries beyond what you impose upon it. Somewhere Over the Rainbow was written for the Wizard of Oz but it’s not like the only way to enjoy it is in a movie theatre. Certainly, music can be more or less appropriate for certain activities and moods, listening to EDM to fall asleep might be self defeating. However, music made for games can evoke all sorts of mental states and people are free to find appropriate settings and uses outside of them to enjoy it.

Was the last time you listened to game music when it was all chip and midi? There’s some beautiful and moving music in games.

1·8 days agoI inherited a set and I agree, they’re perfectly decent knives that hold a good edge, but the handle takes getting used to. I use their paring knives and bone knife but use my second hand Spanish steel Henkels for mostly everything else, because I can practice home sharpening and make them look as ugly as I want without guilt. The biggest difference I noticed is that the simple wood handles offer way more options for holding the knife in different ways comfortably. There’s clearly a “correct” intended hold with the Cutco. They also feel heavy, which can sometimes be limiting.
Even though I enjoy using mine I still wouldn’t recommend them, just based on how inexpensive a nice second hand set from other brands can be on the used market.

43·2 months agoPersonally I’m fine with the restrictions. I’m not in any age restricted servers and I don’t use the Stage feature. I already have pms restricted to mutual servers. If they want to “assume I’m 13” let them. If I can get on voice with my D&D group idgaf.
No I’m not trusting them with my info, or RL identity, but it sounds like they’re not booting people off the service for not providing it.



Ok so you do mean to offend people then. Have fun with that, I’ll just be over here enjoying things on their own merits despite your whole thing going on over there.
