    Van Gogh cut off his external ear, but I never heard somebody say that he couldn’t hear from that side anymore.

      Beethoven got deaf (or nearly deaf) at quite old age. Doesn’t really count either. Also Beethoven never used shitty composite video or even HDMI. These are strictly consumer crap. If good old Ludwig wanted to see his work he directed a fucking symphonic orchestra - and if he didn’t like what he got to see it was da capo until he liked it.

        I’m pretty sure that I’d remember if someone cut off my ear, unless, hmm… What if I had a lobotomy and don’t remember?

            Unfortunately, the company that was developing it wanted to work on a different universe instead. So even though it was insanely popular, they rushed the ending and completely shit all over the story up to that point.
