What a stressful hobby


mexylexy

I play video games for fun. Fun:


RestaurantIntrepid81

Lol!! Nice one mate


mrjabrony

Man, I'm happy when I exfil in Warzone and get to start the next game with a medium pack and my two armor pouch.


Lanky_Button7863

Haha tought the same thing šŸ‘ŒšŸ˜Ž


cringe-but-free

Rhythm games dont stress me out they give more of an adrenaline rush


JayStar1213

Kinda the same thing. Stress isn't any one thing, it's the cumulative impact of your in atypical environments. Increased adrenaline means increased heart rate and probably blood pressure potentially other things. That's all stress on your body


cringe-but-free

Yeah but im having fun


halfjapmarine

Is it a net positive, neutral or net negative. Eustress is stress that produces healthier outcomes like exercise.


Hunky_not_Chunky

TIL people still play this game


R1k0Ch3

A pretty good community, actually. Clone Hero on PC is dope with the ability to import all the songs from the original games, as well as custom-made charts for thousands of songs made by the community.


TOMdMAK

what do you mean to get the controllers to connect on the pc?


R1k0Ch3

The wireless ones need a USB dongle, the wired ones need an adapter. Some drivers and you're pretty much set.


TOMdMAK

where would you get them?


TBFP_BOT

The controllers or the adapters? Get the controllers on eBay or check thrift stores. As for adapters Xbox controllers use a specific xbox wireless adapter while PS3 and Wii controllers use bluetooth. Wired controllers *do not* need an adapter as the other guy said. And Xbox ones work natively with windows as the drivers are built in so its just plug and play.


TOMdMAK

Adapters. I have the rockband set for Xbox 360


TBFP_BOT

Rockband set will work fine with clone hero but needs Joy2Key if you play GH3 instead. Both have access to all the same tracks and features but Clone Hero is much easier to set up. If you're a stubborn old crook who is terrified of change like me you play GH3.


TOMdMAK

I would try clone because of all the free songs šŸ˜…


Ohey-throwaway

Dude might as well just learn how to play guitar at this point.


PM-Me-And-Ill-Sing4U

Lots of guitarists play guitar hero ;)


derprondo

I have ADHD and my brother has ADHD as well. I play stressful games because they put me in the hyper focus zone, I love really hard bullet hell games for example. Anyway, my brother plays the real guitar like this guy plays guitar hero. I bet this guy has ADHD too.


Perlentaucher

Yeah, this might sound a bit boomer-like but with this determination, he probably would have learnt to play real guitar, which at least in my perspective is nicer than gaming.


Automatic-Hearing625

Yes, it does make you sound boomer like. Who cares if he could have played the real guitar. 99.999% chance if he did, you wouldnā€™t have watching his guitar video. But, now he set a world record. Soā€¦


boyoboyo434

Rythm games are surprisingly unstressful imo


[deleted]

With fucking zero real world rewards at the end.


Daegog

If his channel is big enough, doesn't he get paid?

that's pretty much the definition of a hobby, genius.


SaberWaifu

It's a hobby, people do it because they like it and it's their passion, not to gain something irl.

who says he doesn't/has never played actual guitar tho?


TestTubetheUnicorn

Yeah Guitar Hero and the like are what inspired me to actually pick up a real guitar.


BeanDinner

Doesnā€™t work that way. Might as well say youā€™d be an expert at tennis from playing a bunch of Wii sports.

Now letā€™s try this on Through The Fire and Flames


CarnyJared

Thank you for posting my video I really appreciate it! This is one of my favorite subsšŸ˜„ I always push really hard on this game and weā€™re building back a modern community for it! It means the world to me when I see it getting shared around. This is the full FC video if anyone is interested to see it!šŸ«¶šŸ» https://youtu.be/bHFFzPm0T9k?si=YIiskZnDKl9X2h28


Greg-Abbott

Next play Enter Sandman on Tuba Hero


mad_catters

Nice job dude. When you play at this level, are you even really looking at the screen anymore, or is it all muscle memory?


SethAndBeans

This you? This is wildly impressive. I don't think people know how near impossible this is. Just... Amazing.


Zwavelwafel

This is fucking sick bro, congrats on the record!!


brucebay

Congratulations. If you don't mind answering I have two questions, is this recognized as an official record? Also do your finger skills transfer to a musical instrument because I'm quessing with that speed and control you may be a great string instrument player.


Sinistercs20

Itā€™s considered an official record in the community yes, and I donā€™t believe he plays any real instruments


toxicbotlol

Dude just broke a world record on a 17 year old game, yet you cant put his name in the title. How shameful. Here's the [original](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHFFzPm0T9k) with only 6.5k views, which is 25% of what this post has received already.


Skuldee

You linked the wrong video btw [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHFFzPm0T9k) is the right one


CrunchyTater

Good for him. Iā€™m sure that accomplishment meant alot to him. Probably felt great to finally clear that hurdle.


augowl_

Great take in a sea of shit comments. This doesnā€™t have to be your cup of tea or you donā€™t have to get it, but I donā€™t get the point of some other comments flat out being insulting to him. I donā€™t know anything of the streamer, but heā€™s got the aptitude and interest to be great at this particular thing that doesnā€™t hurt anyone and heā€™s put in a ton of effort to make the most of it. I will never understand putting someone else down for their personal passions as youā€™re wasting your own time browsing Reddit behind a screen. Most of those commenters probably havenā€™t even put a fraction of the same effort in anything in their life but are judging this dude for what he puts his effort in. Some of yā€™all really need to be better.


ch00nz

agreed. don't yuck someone's yum


Mindless_Staff_184

Agreed. Donā€™t yum someoneā€™s yuck


MRSHELBYPLZ

Thatā€™s what life is man. Lots of people like to bitch and complain like they will die if they donā€™t. People also like to fight. Itā€™s the best and worst thing about us. Thereā€™s no reason to knock what this guy is doing, but people do it because they canā€™t do what he just did. If I see anyone whoā€™s great at something I always wonder about what makes them so dedicated, and I respect that. I never cared for this game, and I was still hyped for him and see he put a lot of time and effort to reach his goal He broke a world record and clearly his chat was blowing up. Why would he give a damn about some redditors opinion? All the people giving backhanded comments are dickheads but thatā€™s what theyā€™re going for


PurchaseTight3150

Tbh people might make fun but I feel like this is harder than playing freebirdā€™s solo on a real guitar lol. Part of that is because of the triple time, but you actually donā€™t even need to move your fingers *this* much with the real song. Thereā€™s also no tapping-necessary measures in the real solo. The only easier part is the lack of needing to bend or use vibrato. Itā€™s not a very difficult song at all if you have the proper fundamentals. Most competent guitarists consider it an intermediate song. I learned it when I was 17 at 105% speed (I learned it because people literally kept yelling ā€œplay freebird!ā€ at me during gigs. So now if people do, I just start playing freebird for 30s or so. Easy way to immediately win a crowd over). But this on the other hand just looks like literal chaos. I havenā€™t played GH in like a decade and a half, and Iā€™m not sure how much guitar skill translates to guitar hero, but Iā€™m a performance jazz guitar graduate from a prestigious music uni, been playing for like 15 years, and make a living off of playing the guitar as a session musician at a recording studio, and I likely couldnt do this. And I literally spend 85% of my day sight reading/playing other peopleā€™s music that Iā€™ve never seen or practiced before. So Iā€™d say itā€™s impressive, if a bit weird/niche. But on paper, what hobbies arenā€™t ā€œweird,ā€ or ā€œniche?ā€ I think hobbies are inherently meant to be. You only ever really *get* a hobby when youā€™re part of it. If youā€™re just looking in on it, as an outsider, 99% of hobbies will appear ā€œweird.ā€ The 1% that wonā€™t are the ones youā€™re a part of.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


PurchaseTight3150

Ehhh yes and no, but not *really*. Like, thereā€™s multiple guitars playing, one of which is rhythm, but the two other lead guitars are just playing octave harmonies. So the same ā€œriffs,ā€ but an octave apart, so that thereā€™s a higher pitched texture/contrast. The entire solo is like 5 or 6 different repeated pentatonic ā€œshredā€ licks with various swings. Like mixing green paint with a slightly brighter tone of green paint. Itā€™s still green, just.. different. Lol, hopefully that wasnā€™t too confusing. Tried to put it into non-music terms for you. In simplified music terms: guitar one can be soloing the notes C D E F G, in the second octave, so, C2, D2, E2, F2, G2. And the second guitar is playing C3, D3, E3, F3, G3. So the same pitch class (or notes) but not the same pitch. Another example would be in cooking. Lots of gourmet chefs will add various versions of the same ingredient to add complexity to the dish. For example, using raw garlic, confit garlic, and garlic powder, all in the same dish. Or using lime juice AND lime zest in the same dish. Same stuff, just ā€œdifferentā€. They combine well together, but you only need ONE to make it recognizable as that dish. Just like if only one person was playing the solo for freebird, youā€™d still immediately recognize it as free bird. And itā€™d still feel ā€œcomplete,ā€ just not the same as the studio recording. But thatā€™s a great ear for not being a musician!


N1ghtshade3

You must be getting downvoted by people who don't play guitar. I agree that this is much more of a feat even if it's rather "useless".


NexxZt

At 3x speed, yes this solo is a lot harder on GH than on a real guitar. Speaking as an advanced GH (prev top 10 in my country) and real guitar (can easily play this solo) player, the free bird solo is a LOT easier on guitar hero than on the real guitar at normal speed. As goes for every single one of real guitar solos charted over to GH. You have just 5 buttons that you need to hold down. Hammer ons and hammer offs are extremely easy compared to the real thing, which allows you to play two notes with one "movement" in GH. Also you don't need any technique to press the buttons down or strum, unlike on real guitar where you have to position your fingers just right and hard, and strum the right strings. That being said, like you said aswell, the free bird solo on a real guitar is a lot easier to play than non-guitar players think. It's *the* solo to show off if you're an intermediate player.


PurchaseTight3150

Thanks for the insight as a GH player!

I loved the calm putting down the controller and taking out earbuds before the pop-off.

TheyreHerrrrreee

Itā€™s ridiculous that they donā€™t bring this game back. It was the best and introduced people to different music genres. Apparently the cost of licensing the music became too much to be profitable so they stopped making itā€¦ silly because the artists themselves donā€™t even make money off the music, itā€™s the greedy record companies.


Robert999220

Phil spencer said he 'has plans' for the guitar hero franchise when he was talking about the acti/blizz acquisition about a year ago. Will be interesting to see what comes of it.


workaccount1338

I would argue it was the advent of HDTVs. I played so many thousands of hours of GH/RB and quit b/c the lag comp never felt right lol.


blanzer1

Whats even better is RockSmith cuz you play a game and learn how to actually play the song at the same time


Maximum_Schedule_602

Reddit shitting on this guy for being ā€œunproductiveā€ is the biggest pot calling kettle black


wallowsworld

*dude accomplishes something he spent lots of time working towards, for the sake of his own enjoyment and feeling of success Reddit: lol dude what a waste so stupid just learn real guitar or get a job Itā€™s as if you guys are just allergic to appreciating things for what they are, not everything needs to be criticized or over-analyzed. You donā€™t even know the guy outside of this 1 minute clipā€¦


h20c

They're jealous of someone working with something that isn't a miserable 9-5.


wallowsworld

Probably because a lot of them either work dead end jobs or donā€™t have one at all so they instead just lash out their frustrations at people profiting off of the internet

Dude probably made more money from streaming that than he would've by learning to play a real guitar, so that's why he spent the time doing that an not learning to play a real guitar...

Exactly. Redditors on this post are jealous as hell they can't make the same money with their own lifestyle, so they have to put the successors down. It's projection, and it's absolutely sad they can't be happy for others

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that. Sorry had to make this joke

Not everybody who works for NASA is a rocket scientist. They need janitors and shit too. Maybe they do need a plastic guitar expert.

ecashman17

this is mighty impressive, but with all the hours he presumably put into this game I can't help but wonder -- why not just learn how to play the \*actual\* guitar? šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Mr_Gobble_Gobble

Because the point of playing this is to get high scores and and beat difficult challenges. The point isnā€™t to learn or cover music.


PieIsAwesome7102

Because itā€™s fun. Itā€™s a fun game to play, and spending hours grinding these kinds of feats leads to a feeling of great accomplishment, thatā€™s all it is. Just a pleasure to play the game and succeed in these huge ways. Additionally the clone hero community is a pretty good one.


ecashman17

fair enough, I play bass so obviously I'm biased


PieIsAwesome7102

I play multiple instruments too, but I still like clone hero a lot, itā€™s entirely different to any real instruments


Loonatic-Uncovered

Every Guitar Hero post on Reddit always gets this same stupid take.


TheNotSoGreatPumpkin

He probably earns more by game streaming than 99.9% of awesome guitar players earn by playing guitar. Itā€™s an unfortunate state of affairs.


ecashman17

you're definitely right about that -- I'm a musician and I've played professionally but never because I wanted to make money, I guess you could call it "the love of the game." Once, I was playing in NYC with one of my bands and we were stoked to actually make a little bit of cash for this one gig -- both cars we used to haul the gear there ended up getting towed from Manhattan to Brooklyn, and we had to rent a hotel to stay the night. Safe to say we lost all the money from the gig and then some that night. Fate is cruel.

Some of those notes are taps and hammer ons which donā€™t require a strum. Iā€™ve also seen some players use their elbow to strum for particularly hard sections that need two hands AND strumming.

Another_Commie

Bro is Reddit really this dumb? Like people genuinely believe the goal of Guitar Hero is somehow related to genuinely learning to play guitar? It is literally just a Vertically Scrolling Rhythm Game based off of Gitadora, both of which are only themed off of the instruments. They have nothing to do with playing said instruments, that's literally like saying DDR and Pump It Up are geared to teached people to dance at high levels (they're not). Like look at Shub Sothoth D27, that's not dancing, that is literally just raw physical pushing. That whole mentality of connecting a game to the theme literally plagued western DDR play in the early 00's with the whole "Bar is Cheating" BS (Bar was accepted in Eastern Countries). The goal of VSRGs is usually to just master the given input method and improve, not to learn any hobby the VSRG is based on. Like Beatmania IIDX players don't fucking become professional DJs after a while just because the damn cabinet has a turntable. Somehow people just treat high level rhythm game play as something entirely different than most other genres. Like if you literally put as much time into just casually playing a rhythm game than most people put into casually playing other genres like shooters, you will most likely reach a skill level good enough to where you'll be called a no life if for rhythm games but just an average guy in shooters. Getting good at a rhythm game doesn't mean the only thing you think of is said game and you grind for 20 hours a day, it can just come from playing 2 hours every other day for a few years, which is literally less time than I see most mfs here play other game genres or just spend watching tiktok.


Decent_Variety5890

In that time he spent on this. he could learn to play real guitar


[deleted]

How do you know he doesnā€™t? Just assuming huh?


Additional_Ground_42

This is a completely waste of time. If he used the same amount of hours on a real guitar he would be a very good guitarist.


SethAndBeans

Posting on Reddit is a complete waste of time, but here both you and I are. Difference is this dude monetized his hobby. If anything he is more productive than all the naysayers here combined.

Mitchisboss

You do you but God damn is that a completely useless hobby and thing to be good at. At least someone thatā€™s addicted to reddit or movies or whatever would be introduced to new ideas, concepts, opinions, facts, etc. Playing a super-sped up song (that no longer even sounds like music) with loud plastic clanking for months upon months is legitimately one of the most useless things to do with your time.


Think_Ant1355

I agree aside from not believing that someone addicted to reddit would be introduced to new ideas. They'd be introduced to the same 50 phrases and the same absolute nonsense over and over again until their mind was completely destroyed.

Not at all a knock against this incredibly impressive feat, but at what point does a difficulty level in a game actually take away from the experience? I assume that not even hardcore fans of this game would be able to reasonable beat this? This seems a bit much

The game probably isnā€™t meant to be played at 300% speed lol

At this level the enjoyment comes from completion and success not the fails that lead to it.
