Damn. I always felt bad enough for women with big boobs having to deal with the back pain, but I never considered that they might jingle, too.
As a bassist, I can at least say that was my experience. I learned pentatonic by paying attention to which notes I'd hear most often, and recognizing which pattern on the fretboard they usually showed up in when played in sequence.
That was pretty much all I needed to be able to jam semi-decently, and everything else just sort of progressed from there.
I always wondered if Satan was actually defeated by this, or if he spent the whole ordeal just thinking, "Oh, whoa, he actually took the bait. Holy shit, he's actually doing it. This is hilarious. I can't believe it was this easy. Unreal."

For real, though. One of the most important things I try to teach anyone when they're a new smoker is not to let anyone pressure them into that goofy "smoke as much as possible" bullshit.
I've known way too many people who hated weed because they would always freak out when they smoked. They almost never seemed to realize it was 'cause they kept trying to fit in and keep up with veteran smokers instead of finding their personal level of comfort and chilling there.
Y'all can smoke yourselves to death if you want. I'm just trying to chill, thanks. ✌️
You're a Stardew NPC, and you just got looked up on the wiki. Did they also inexplicably know exactly where to find you at 3:00 PM on a Wednesday?

I haven't bought into it or anything, but I followed the development for a while in the 2010s because I was really excited for what they showed.
Speaking personally, I just want a game that would let me feel immersed in a spacefaring future human civilization. I'm never gonna live to see that. So, I'd like a game where I can at least pretend.
EvE doesn't work for me. I'm not interested in spreadsheets, and I want to be able to fly my ship instead of just clicking to move (I assume that's still how it controls? I only played briefly in the 2000s)
Starfield is..Starfield. I just appreciate that they tried something, honestly. No Man's Sky seems pretty neat, although I don't really know what you do in that game outside of just collecting resources. I need to try it sometime.
Elite Dangerous is great. It comes the closest to scratching the itch. Zooming through the galaxy looking for different astral phenomena and sights to see is a really chill way to spend an afternoon. But, it only really gets so deep. The space legs (I mean, the Odyssey expansion) only do so much to make you feel present. Space stations and outposts really only consist of two or three different layouts of one big room with the same shops. Settlements mostly only exist to be mission objectives. You get 8 guns and 3 pistols to choose from. That's about it. Not super immersive once you step outside of your ship (personally speaking).
But, pretty much the main thing they've been trying to accomplish with Star Citizen is to make it the most immersive experience they can. It's right there in the name, isn't it? You get to play at a citizen of an interstellar civilization. That's the idea. I'm not sure if that's the reality.
So, yeah. Speaking personally, I've got a dream I'll never see realized, and (it feels like) no one stepping up to offer a proper simulation. I imagine a lot of folks are clinging to Star Citizen out of desperate hope, since there's not really a proper alternative if it ever goes away.
