Aren't MMORPGs only competitive if you want them to be? At least that's the kind of experience I've had with them. They don't feel different from other RPGs. He oughta play something that needs him to be competent. Like Dark Souls.

There is ABSOLUTELY (absolutely) no reason for poetry to exist when music is better at everything it does. Literally every poet since writing became common place has been a pretentious suck up who was trying ride on the shoulders of those who came before, who *needed* to codify language in a certain way because their literature was oral. Or they're a bunch of pretentious muh feels or muh art idiots.

Meanwhile prose can actually capture what language is like. It can be succint or excessive. It can be unnatural or naturalistic. It can be dense or sparse. It can even employ the same conditions poetry employs. Any meaningful communication among humans occurs in prose save for the occasional reference to poetry, which can't be mantained because it's impossible and stupid to produce language in that way. Meanwhile poetry is codified and ritualistic, incapable of any real spontaneity and pertinence that doesn't refer to itself. All your education was in prose. Even your posts are in prose.

But hey that's just my opinion.
