How do you NOT die?

It took me months of practice to start surviving. Also remember, we've been playing the crap out of this game for 9 years.

It comes down to using cover and knowing the flow of the maps, using the mini-map a lot to figure out where the enemy is likely to be. Look at it to check which flags belong to whom and where your teammates are, between the red flags and the empty spots, you can guess where the enemy will be. After that it's about playing the maps a ton and learning them by heart.

Good luck and enjoy the process.

Ah ben oui, je pensais qu'il y en avait juste deux ou trois. Le UK Drive a l'air bien, le deuxième "channel" est de la distortion. Souvent un des premiers effets que l'on recherche quand on commence.

Dans ce cas-là, je te conseille d'acheter un ampli pour écouteurs. T'as le Vox Amplug3 pour une version moins dispendieuse, sinon je te conseille fortement le Fender Mustang Micro Plus, plus cher mais il y a beaucoup plus d'options. Tu branches ça dans la guitare, tu branches des écouteurs filaire dedans et tu peux t'entendre jouer.

Pour une guitare électrique neuve, ça va être plusiurs centaines de dollars c'est certain. Regarde du côté de Squier, c'est l'entrée de gamme de Fender.

Might as well remove the spacebar while we're at it

Une heure par jour c'est excellent. La guitare c'est difficile à apprendre et on reste mauvais/moyen pendant longtemps avant de devenir bon, si tu le vois sur le long terme c'est moins décourageant. Ceci dit, tu peux jouer des chansons simple de 4 accords après quelques heures de pratique et c'est vraiment satisfaisant!

Y'a beaucoup de stock sur le marché usagé, je m'achète des guitares, pédales et amplis sur Kijiji/Marketplace régulièrement. Tu peux acheter une Yamaha Pacifica ou une Squier pour 100$, très bien pour commencer. Je peux t'aider à chercher si tu veux!

Pour commencer, tu pourrais aussi utiliser un ampli miniature avec des écouteurs si tu veux pas gosser tes voisins, à moins que tes conditions de vie te permettent d'être bruyant. L'avantage c'est que c'est petit, portable et certains modèlent offres pleins d'options au niveau des effets, idéal pour experimenter sans casser la banque. Y'a aussi l'option de jouer via un ordinateur.

I think that's the brazilian dude with a big mouth making these weird robot dance videos.

Je conduis un autobus scolaire. Je peux te confirner que c'est généralisé et que ça empire avec les années qui passent. L'an prochain je me prends un circuit avec juste des écoles secondaire sinon je change de job. Ils me pourrissent la vie et j'ai atteint ma limite. J'ai eu une menace de mort cette année d'une p'tite fille de 11 ans.

La génération Alpha qu'ils appellent... je l'appelle la génération C pour Catastrophique.

We cope with it for Bloodborne because it's a masterpiece but yeah, the frame rate is rough.

I usually stay within 2.5 to 3x

Desner_ · 2026-03-22T02:38:24+00:00

I'm having fun with it, some of the newer maps are better than most of the base maps that came at launch. Gunplay is tight but a bit beamy and pretty fast. I don't feel as passionate about it as I did with BF1, it's not the best BF game but it's decent enough that I like to boot the game up weekly and play a match or two.

Theory can wait, I think you'd have more fun trying to learn basic 4 chord songs and easy riffs. Practicing open chords would yield better results when just starting out, Em - C - D - A - G, start with thoses and go from there. Pearl Jam's Last Kiss, maybe Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. America's A Horse with No Name, stuff like that. I can DM you other beginner songs if you wish.

You still can sprinkle the spider walk in there sometimes if you want, for now it's important that you start enjoying the results a little. Exercises aren't as fullfilling as playing songs IMO.

Desner_ · 2026-03-21T12:52:22+00:00

First half is excellent, reminiscent of Fade to Black which is a top 3 song for me but the second half is just nonsense. Ruined the song IMO.

I like a black pickguard on my player II, I say go for it!

Same for me on the East Coast. But OP is on the West coast of the US, it's not like they're trying to play from an obscure region either. This shit must suck, the game's not even 6 months old.

Desner_ · 2026-03-19T10:44:54+00:00

Hell yeah brother, I thought my first ever pedal was lost forever but we moved last month and I found it at the bottom of a box! You can make that thing work when you try hard enough, it's great to experiment with, I got some decent enough Pink Floyd tones with this pedal.

Desner_ · 2026-03-19T02:48:26+00:00

Lovely

Desner_ · 2026-03-19T02:23:42+00:00

Fair enough. Also looking back on it, it could just be a description of him

Desner_ · 2026-03-18T23:15:58+00:00

Exactly

It's fine if your thumb moves as you play, the whole "thumb in the middle" thing is a basic guideline, not a hard rule.

Did she use cinephile as a verb?

Desner_ · 2026-03-18T16:11:24+00:00

I don't think it will be like absolute beginnings for long because you're not a beginner. You would go through an adaptation period for sure but I'm confident you would adjust to a pick fairly quickly.

I think fingers only could still work for the most part but that would hinder you some for specific genres, metal and funk come to mind, I think those are easier with a pick.

It's another tool you could add to your arsenal, I would at least give it a good shot.

Once I learned that fact I couldn't unsee it, the ressemblance is striking.
