I heard some people (or maybe just one guy) in Japan got arrested for trying this A guy mentioned it when talking about this anime at the convention I went to

I might have to look into this

I would probably say either the Phoenix Wright series or the Danganronpa series as long as I have a way to play the whole series, and I get my old memories back after I beat them again

I just saw this a few days ago. It was a pretty interesting story

I still need to finish three houses

Mine does the hourly thing. So, I could come in late or leave early. But in the end, that doesnt really matter because I make my own hours during the week. As long as I get my 80 every pay period, Im good. If Im over, it get converted into more hours to take off. If Im under, I just use some PTO hours to bump it up to 80 And I usually still have plenty of time to take off and see my family. And if Im leaving halfway through a pay period, I sometimes work extra hours the first week so I can use less time off for the next week It helps a little

Then just take a full day and play video games. If you have pto, use it

Yeah. Theres no reason to just let it get wasted

I don't argue that this isn't the purpose of it. I argue that this wasn't my focus in bring it up.

In the end, its still useless scraps if you never do anything with it? Whats the point of a comic that never gets read? Or a card that never gets used?

I brought that up to show that they weren't in use. Which was clearly the focus of my comment. Not once did I say anything about them being damaged.

You mentioned preserving them by keeping them seal in something. The only reason to seal them in something like that is to protect them from getting damaged. Just because you didnt say they were protecting them from getting damaged doesnt mean you werent talking about that

Things can have meaning beyond their utilitarian value.

Sure. They can. But based on the fact that it was made playable (with seems like it would take more time than just making a decoration), it was most likely made to be played. And even then, it doesnt change the fact that playing it shouldnt have been a big deal

Here's another example. I'm not sure how common it is today but people would receive a pen for however many years working at a company. Normally they would set it aside or display it on a shelf. The fact that they didn't use it to write with doesn't mean they didn't appreciate the gift. Actually, not using it showed the reverence they had for it.

Or, have you seen a signing ceremony where the US president uses dozens of pens to sign his name and gives them to the people who were involved with the document he's signing? What do you suppose those people do with the pen afterward?

Even things like that are dumb. Id feel insulted if I have someone a pen, and they didnt use it. And for special things like that, you dont have to use it all the time. Id sign very important documents with it. Like when buying my first house or something. Having a pen that goes unused gels insulting, and almost feels like they dont appreciate it. I even think its dumb to keep comics and cards seal up. They feel pointless at that point Well, comics and cards that are actually used in games, that is. Cards that have a sole purpose of being a collectible are different. But in that case, that actually have no function or way to be used outside of collecting it. Which is different from card game cards and comics. So, to me, not using it doesnt show reverence. If I just wanted something for show, I wouldnt have gotten a working pen. Just a weighty shell would have done fine if all they wanted was a display

As for museums, they are slightly different for certain items. For the flute, for example. They cant leave it out for everyone to touch. And someone could easily break it. So, keep it in a case. But to let one person (or even more at a later date) play it, its shouldnt be a big deal. They dont have to have concerts every week. But maybe playing it once a year (or every couple of years) would be bad or hurt anything Let it be more than a hunk of crystal

As for the people with the pens, they should do what I said Id do. Which is use the pen for important documents. Im probably not the only one who thought to use it that way. And Im sure others use it for everything until it runs out. Some may set it aside after it runs out, while others refill it. And some probably keep it as a display, like you mentioned. Because everyone is different. Just because you would keep it and never use it doesnt mean everybody else would do the same. Maybe many would, or maybe only a few

Again, not really the point I was making.

Kind of sounded like it when you mentioned things like sealing comic books and putting things in glass cases

SKARDAVNELNATE posted...

Preventing people from using things for their intended purpose is an inherent part of preserving them for the future. That's why people seal graded comic books preventing anyone from reading them. That's why museums keep things in glass cases.

That kind of makes them useless, at that point. Why even have them anymore, tbh And it was made to be played. If the creator didnt want it to be played, they would have made it that way. But they made it in a way that it was playable Not playing it would probably be more of an insult to the creator

That said, like adjl said, the people who let her play it seemed to think or know shed be able to play it without damaging it

SKARDAVNELNATE posted...

Then following from what I said, it's all the more questionable that she would bring it out on a stage and play it.

I believe the opposite. Why wouldnt she play it? Isnt that what am instrument is for.?

Using the search function in my browser "Mead" only appears in the body of a post, not as a poster.

Im not sure if you trolling or ignorant

I don't think I get the same internet as everyone else...

That shouldnt really change anything Just look at the usernames

I don't see what the big deal is. The joy of a flute is in hearing it be played. I am curious though how she came about the flute. Like was it in some museum and the curator let her play it or did she buy it at auction or what?

Yeah. A flute seems to be useless unless you play it

SKARDAVNELNATE posted...

I think it would demonstrate a lack of reverence that anyone would play the flute.
That flute has seen some shit. Which I wouldn't know anything about had the flute not been in the news as much as it has.
That, in turn, just makes it all the more questionable that someone who did know the history behind it would bring it out on a stage.

Its an instrument, right? I feel it would be meant to be played. If not, it wouldnt be playable, I would think And many people apparently didnt know about it from the little Ive heard Which makes it baffling that people seem to be mad over it If anything, it seems playing it has brought attention to it Still dont see the issue with playing it

SKARDAVNELNATE posted...

No sure what you mean.

That was a response to Mead

ParanoidObsessive posted...

Because people are stupid.

This also makes sense

Oh. So, its those people? I see

So it should be a problem that she played the flute, I would think

But that doesnt explain why people are mad that she played a flute

People keep talking about Lizzo playing a flute and desecrating history. What exactly are they talking about? I think I must be missing something here

Why knows? AFAIK, its the only game for switch at that price, though. The other switch games are still being release and sold at $60 (with the exception of special editions and stuff)
