No sources, nothing. Just pulling facts out of their rear end. This is the most popular one on Reddit.

It doesn't even make sense. The music is there to enhance the experience of the game, highlight areas and reward certain actions. Without the context of the game, how is it different from just listening to the Jaws theme ad nauseum?

The real life hack is that there is some video game music that is listenable outside of the video game. Obviously you don't want to go around rapping the songs from Parappa the Rapper to yourself (or maybe you do I dunno) but like any music it's all a matter of personal taste.

Most video game music is either instrumental or ambient. That's all there is to it: It's music that doesn't distract you if you get hung up on lyrics.

May I take a moment to ask, since this is the second time we've seen it in this thread, what tool cuts a bucket of icecream in half without melting the icecream, and without noticeably compressing or delaminating the cardboard or pushing the lid off the top?

Surely you can't do that with a kitchen knife?

I could have sworn that I'd seen a picture of a guy running his ice cream through a bandsaw while wearing leather work gloves but now I can't find it and now that you've actually made me look for it all I found were people cutting it with knives. Looks totally easier than using a saw and/or a scoop too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2j0uGtXwGh4

Once again, there is at least one gem mixed in with the dross in that one, in that hasselback potatoes are delicious. There are not, however, a life hack. Hasselback potatoes seem to be picking up a bad rep as a lifehack, rather than a legit nice way to do baked potatoes.
