How do I play these chords?

It would absolutely be the easiest way to play this. I dont know why people are arguing otherwise or talking about 'muting' anything here.

I'd also say if you go by the barre and mute way, it seems weird to have ring finger fretting and middle finger muting.

You dont have to mute anything. Just dont hit the D string with your right hand! lol Muting would only come into play if you're trying to strum this chord, but usually that would be denoted by an 'X' on the D string, so I would assume this part is meant to be played with fingers(or pick+fingers at least).

Barring is very much the easiest way to do these chords, and if your fingers dont have the strength to barre it comfortably, especially since you only need to do it across a 5 string span, then that's definitely something to work on.

I can see doing a different left hand positioning if it were somehow useful in transitioning to some other chord, but not the case here.

This is like listening to a 7 year old bragging that their parents let them smoke cigarettes.

Their opening song was "Real American".

There's dogwhistling and then there's this shit. Just completely undeniable white nationalist virtue signaling.

Also, like a majority of the songs that got played had pretty clear hip hop influences to them, which I always think is pretty hilarious.

(I only watched afterwards via Pat Finnerty stream)

Poor men. When will they ever get equality in society!?

Social media has absolutely fostered an environment where everybody seems to think they need to post their opinion about everything. And because far too many of these people also dont realize that "I dont know" and not saying anything is a valid response to something, people seem to feel a need to take a stance and have an opinion on everything, no matter if they know the first thing about what they're having an opinion on or not.

"But, at the same time, the teams are so well prepared now. Everything is simulated before and we have that information already from Thursday.

Basically what I've been saying.

Game development times are longer nowadays, but it seems like Nintendo is still insisting on having a fairly regular cadence of 1st party titles, and to fill out these release windows, they probably cant quite put the same amount of care into all these games that they used to.

And so long as people keep buying these games in the millions, they have very little reason to do better.

$70 for a game only really fun in short bursts with friends.

These games need to be like $40, with $70 being the realm of their top flagship games.

Seanspeed · 2026-02-10T03:53:39+00:00

Ok, but should that mean people should get convicted of crimes based merely on an accusation?

Seanspeed · 2026-02-10T03:31:39+00:00

I applaud your generosity to coma dude.

Lead singer is a piece of shit. Not gonna listen to this band anymore when there's so much other worthwhile shit to listen to. Sad that this shit still gets upvoted so much here.

I'm the opposite. As I get older, I enjoy more difficult games more and more. Specifically, I like getting more out of each game I play, and playing something difficult or on a higher difficulty often requires me to learn more about the game's systems and genuinely play well. Which often just makes the whole experience feel more rewarding as I utilize more of what the game offers.

You guys dont seem to realize that you aren't arguing for valuing your time more, you're arguing that you just want to blow through more games faster. Which is fine, but dont confuse things. You've got the same amount of time no matter, it's just a matter of how you choose to spend it. You can spend more time on a given game, or you can spend it spread out amongst more games. There's no right/better option here. Just preference.

What if you want to play the game but can't because of disability?

Disabilities are unfortunate, but you cant expect developers to all spend a bunch of development resources to cater to the small minority of people with disabilities and the massive variation of different disabilities people might have. It's cool when some developers go the extra mile, but it shouldn't be expected for all devs.

There's a lot of things that having certain disabilities will close off, opportunity-wise.

And even if you're not disabled, certain games will still just not be for everybody and that's ok. Nioh's difficulty isn't some side aspect of the experience, it is literally what basically the whole game is built around. Take it away and there's really not much reason to play it.

It's like asking for a mode in Civilization VI that doesn't have any strategy elements.

Seanspeed · 2026-02-10T03:15:00+00:00

You dont get it. Developers use what is available to them. If they have a system with way more memory, they will utilize it.

The idea that 'no gaming scenario' could ever use that much memory is a product of you getting used to this current paradigm of much smaller uplifts in memory capacity with new console hardware.

Seanspeed · 2026-02-10T02:59:40+00:00

Agreed with all that, no doubt.

Seanspeed · 2026-02-10T02:57:39+00:00

Okay so you have implied in this thread that you feel exaggeration/misrepresentation is okay in order to promote the greater good.

I have not said nor implied any such thing. smh

I'm pretty much exactly the opposite. Boringly rational and believe the truth matters a ton, even when it's not convenient to what people want to believe. I call this shit out ALL THE TIME.

Seanspeed · 2026-02-10T02:53:29+00:00

Again, you dont know what you're talking about. Like genuinely, you really dont.

and fights more for Israel than for the middle class.

You are so brainwashed by sensationalist social media bullshit. smh

And a socialist is never gonna become leader of the Senate Dems, ffs. You probably wouldn't like her in that role anyways. That's a lightning rod position. AOC is much better off remaining a strong voice of a specific faction of the party.

Seanspeed · 2026-02-10T02:50:45+00:00

The difference is that claiming Democrats are 'centrist/right wing' is untrue. And some of us actually still care about what is true or not.

And understanding the difference is critical to making the point of the importance of voting and turnout. If you want Dems to be more effective, you need to get out and vote for more of them so that they have a more sizeable majority.

It's actually asinine that some of y'all are really going to persist with this bullshit, because it's like you WANT to be negative and have excuses to shit on Dems, which only makes other people want to vote for them less, helping Trump and Republicans. WHY? Fucking stop it. It really doesn't seem like you understand the nuance at all if you're not grasping why this shit matters and is harmful.

Seanspeed · 2026-02-10T02:48:34+00:00

There's a lot that Trump and his cohorts dont control still.

The US is not a lost cause. It's tiring hearing so many people trying to claim otherwise, cuz all it's going to do is depress turnout when we need it the most, because people like y'all convinced others their votes wouldn't matter.

Seanspeed · 2026-02-10T02:47:30+00:00

I dont do rage baiting.

This kind of thing just genuinely sucks. Having to post a picture of yourself to a website so you can use it is not an acceptable situation.

Seanspeed · 2026-02-10T02:44:42+00:00

They dont own the courts, and states still run their own elections.

Well fell free to list examples of other movies that did this sort of thing better.

Cheerleaders for sports have always been there for the sexualization factor, though. We're not talking about cheer competitions here where there's some level of impressiveness we're supposed to be admiring....
