We won the battle, but lost the war, so what's to celebrate? : (

How many languages do you speak?

For the record, I dislike Amazon and I'm not a fan of Twitch, but...

I logged in to Twitch today and found that I had a library of free games via Twitch Prime -- maybe 20 -- that I'd forgotten were there...

Flame and the Flood, Bomber Crew, Hotline Miami, Majesty 1 & 2, For the King, Pillars of the Earth, and even Pillars of Eternity.

That was cool -- even though I can't wait to cancel Amazon! Now just to see if you need a Twitch client to start up the games... ha... I know the answer. C'mon Galaxy 2.0

Is there even such a thing as quiet metal music?

Also, why is it called "metal"?

(Another thing: Even some of the terminology I see around that type of music, like "shredding" and "headbangind" does not sound pleasant.)

Correction: As soon as someone gets a bit vocal about some behavior *they consider* bad, I get suspicious.

(Perfect example of this: Homophobic officials (including both priests and politicians) who are later found out to be having relationships with others of the same sex; so far all the cases I heard about have been men.)

Because metal is harder than rock

4, though my German is getting very rusty from not using it much.

Man, I really am stupid and useless. :P

Don't feel bad.

In a small country whose language is spoken only by a handful of millions, learning a second language is something of a necessity if you want to communicate with people abroad.

Here's an example of how Norwegians adapt to the international cultural scene.

Oddly enough, where I live most people speak English and Finish.

I've just visited Steam and realized that I almost missed their Summer Sale.
I haven't opened Steam even once during their sale xD Interesting.

I went there the minute it started.

All I walked out with was two DLCs. :P

At least the fake substitute i banged, is a yoga teacher. Hope she can cleanse my inner energy blockade and reverse the negativity festering inside, from latest events... While at it. And we will start private "sessions". She doesn't specialize in the rare types of yoga that really interest me, or the field range near my expertise (tantric paths), but she 'll have to do. The basic principles are usually the same. The lost yogic path i seek, maybe can be reconstructed by reverse engineering and amalgamations from other paths... Funny how most of my encounters, while seeking "encounters", always end up being "fateful" ones. The wheel of Karma works in mysterious ways, after all.

A yoga teacher is not a substitute, that's the end goal of all end goals. Anything after that would be a substitute.

Hmm, before answering that, one would have to consider whether quiet music is a thing at all. I mean besides the obvious interpretation in which quietness is a function of the volume knob, not of the genre. Then what makes quiet music quiet?
