So maybe her music hasnt sold per se, but to me sales is more than streaming and purchases. before the yogurt, before the pronouns, there was Fall In Line.

'Edutainment' makes it seem like it's a bitter pill that must be sugar coated with oodles of artificial sweeteners to be palatable. Especially with Children, in my humble opinion, what's need is to light that little flame. There is a certain spark in the Human psyche that gets lit whenever a person truly gains comprehension or insight into something they did not know before. Please enough already - no more of this Hollywood style, flashy, 'make believe' stuff with specious vocabulary. Perhaps because lately I feel very much offended that a lot of 'Information' out there is in fact nothing more than a subtle (or increasingly not-so-subtle) attempt at Marketing. Yuck! I cringe whenever someone uses that word. It it also designed for classroom (and therefore, I suppose, library) use with features like centralized-management (LTSP) and such. But seriously, Linux has plenty of edutainment software available and Edubuntu packages it in one place. If she finds my bank-account numbers I'm in trouble.

Another big problem is that my game continuously crashes during the cutscene after beating the second boss. It’s all great!! There’s a couple problems where the fps will suddenly drop really low.
