I think some of the other commenters pointing out that it reads as a command is probably a big one, but you did a pretty good job of explaining it here (imo). Even just saying to him that you want a heads up of if it’s good or bad and working out a system so you don’t stress would probably be a marked improvement for you, and I would bet it’d be an easy fix.
Usually it’s pretty ok but I remember once being in an online PvP match and windows decided right then it NEEDED to update and started the process. It just went into update mode and restarted (oh so slowly) - my guess is there was a popup that I didn’t see due to being in-game and it just went ahead and overrode whatever I was doing to update.
Found this article from a US gov’t site that talks a lot about this, kind of interesting to read.
League of Legends, no doubt (and no idea how many hours across my two main accounts). Just… yikes on a bike, that one.
Other tops probably Sims if I can count all the different games. Stardew and animal crossing are up there as well, I’m sure.
As someone who plays in an orchestra professionally, I totally 1000% agree with you. It’s a weird fine line that I enjoy music, but I do it as a career because I really enjoy playing with other people and the music itself is almost secondary. Good luck explaining that to people who Really Like Classical Music, lol.
There’s a lot of elitism in it and it sadly alienates a lot of would-be concert goers, I feel like.
