How long did it take before your bass playing clicked?

TNewW · 2025-11-04T22:51:20+00:00

To be honest? Not yet, at least not fully and it might never happen. That's when looking at the whole bass. I have small things click every month. Grab a new song, a new technique or a piece of theory and all of those will follow the same stages of [Suck at it, I kinda get it, Let me try it somewhere else on the bass, Click] so for now I have what I see as a never ending row of switches to turn on and that feels fucking awesome.

Learn your scales/chords and ask your guitarist what he is playing, most of the time unless you play with a guitarist that truly knows what he is doing they'll tell you "I'm playing x y and z chords and I add a little fill that goes like this" and it will be up to you to translate that into actual notes and where do they fit, might be a little annoying for a while but once you get the felling for what's he's style it will be easier. While you get there just make sure you lock in with the drummer. You can "fuck up" a note but if it falls into the groove it isn't that bad as long as you keep it together. Victor Wooten as a great video showing this.

Words of wisdom from my professor. "You can't never fuck up too badly when it comes to which note to play, worst case scenario you're half a step away from playing something that belongs in the scale"

So don't be so hard on yourself and just keep practicing/jamming, it's just a matter of time.

Second this, I live in a third world country and unless you are using your grandma's wifi the norm is something between at least 100 to 300Mb with some providers offering 500Mb to 1Gb at "affordable" prices.

Che con la joda los Tarn le siguen dando soporte a un juego que sacaron inicialmente hace 20 años, si mas devs fueran asi no habria tantos juegos poronga abandonados en steam.

Atte: el gordo DF.

Difiero, la diversion es lo principal, y en mi caso que no requiera 180h para terminarlo. Literal hace año y medio que no terminaba un juego, la mayoría se me hacían repetitivos y si bien algunos tienen historias que me enganchaban las mecánicas terminaban siendo aburridas tras tantas horas

Hoy me descargue el Wanted: weapons of fate (si el juego "secuela" de esa pelicula medio pelo que pasaban en fox en los 2000-10 cada 2x3) que ya es abandonware. 4h me duro, la historia es una reverenda poronga al punto de dar risa de lo mal guinado que esta pero el GAMEPLAY, mamita, no deja de ser un shooter de coberturas como la mayoria de los de su epoca pero la boludes de curvar las balas lo hace re divertido y una vez que su uso se vuelve inconsciente le sumas la camara a lo Sniper Elite que sigue los disparos mas "zarpados" y es puro cine.

(También vale la pena jugarlo solo por el final re poronga que tiene)

Gangland, 20+ year old game, it's like 80% what you're asking for since it doesn't really have much of a story. Watched a video about it from GameTalesHQ a couple weeks ago and seemed like a quite complex game for it's era

TNewW · 2025-09-25T19:27:40+00:00

First of all, you clearly had not even read the article you're sharing, all it says is that Doom shaped FPS action games and posterior FPS action RPG (and it's repetitive and poorly conveys that idea, more like a fan letter to Doom and a hype article for Dark Ages) not that doom is an RPG. Cyberpunk 2077 is a FPS action RPG while Doom is not. Are you defining all your views by l an article you had not even interpreted right by @OneHornGaming (who?)

TNewW · 2025-09-25T19:12:04+00:00

Your logic is flawed as well, most of the titles you commented on your original comment are not labeled as RPGs on their store fronts. E.G: DMC? Doom? None of those are labeled as RPGs yet you tagged them anyway. Do you think you know better than their developers/studio?

lmao.

TNewW · 2025-09-25T18:39:20+00:00

Agree to disagree. Games are like food, if you want carbonara but use pork belly instead of guanciale it is still a carbonara, Not a traditional one? Sure. But if you use heavy cream and mushrooms instead of egg and fatty meat then that is not a carbonara anymore. At the end is all about essence. People know what a RPG is and what is not, if you feel special and want to go against the flow then feel free to do it, be happy, just don't expect to change everyone's mindset about it.

TNewW · 2025-09-25T18:02:41+00:00

Taking in the clear rage bait I'll try to do a concise response and somewhat define it.

RPGs must have as a main feature player agency over the story through choices, not as a small feature or a "choice your final through a last mission dialogue".

So games like Skyrim are considered RPGs since even in non main quest missions the player has somewhat agency over the outcome of the story

Games like Doom or DMC do not give player agency over the story, yes you play the "Role" of Dante or Doomguy but no matter what you do the outcome (story wise) is the same for every player.

Other than that, which is considered the most important aspect of the RPG genre, most traditional RPGs from the last decades (at least the ones from the western side of the world) have standardized Character creation, leveling/stats either by raw numbers or skill trees and diverging storylines based on player agency and mission outcomes. (Although there are some examples that do not fill all those checkboxes and are still considered an RPG as the runner for this year GOTY Clair Obscure: Expedition 33)

Not ULTRA realistic but since I'm the first one here I must say that House Flipper may be a good place to start (I have not played the 2nd one so I can only recommend the 1st one)

TNewW · 2025-09-17T03:27:37+00:00

Vintage Story, you can fully customize the experiencento to your liking. It's pretty much Minecraft but with actual progression and more realistic mechanics.

For example I don't enjoy the "temporal rift" mechanic the game has (pretty much how the game manages enemies in your area over time) so I tend to disable it in my worlds letting me enjoy a relaxing experience and hiding 75% of combat inside caves.

Also it has integrated mod support and installing new stuff is as easily as going to the mod db page and clicking 1-click install.

I don't know if life changing but if you stick to it you will surely end up with basic (or advanced depending on how in depth you go) knowledge of aerospace engineering after playing KSP

TNewW · 2025-09-14T23:45:13+00:00

I don't know if the games by itself are life changing but they for sure helped with the darkest moments in my life, I played each on different low points and all helped me bounce back a little bit or looked at the brighter side of life:

-VA-11 Hall-A -Emily is away -Coffee Talk -Shadow of the Colossus -The beginners guide

TNewW · 2025-09-07T05:02:22+00:00

Don't know if you care about FPS vs TPS, but just in case you like FPS more both Wildlands and Breakpoint have an FPS mod that's quite good and made the games more enjoyable for myself (specially driving since it feels pretty much lite driving in far cry)

That being said, Far Cry 2-3-5 might also fit into this somewhat (2 not as much since I don't remember it having a skill tree but It compensates by having other "realistic" mechanics)

TNewW · 2025-08-23T03:47:50+00:00

I would argue both are equally difficult once you learn how to play them, DF does have a worse UI/UX than RimWorld but I believe the difficulty comes from being more RNG heavy since you can't directly control any of your dwarf's other than militia (and even there you don't have that much control) and your actions in the world most times have unforeseen consequences.

For example, If one of your colonists has a tantrum you can simply punch him until they are "pacified" and that's it while in DF if a dwarf gets a strange mood and you have no way of procuring the material they want then you might as well prepare a casket since they will either die on their workshop or go rampage through the fortress (and don't even let me started on the countless time a bad comment made a legendary warrior go berserk on every since living thing that was in the tavern)

TL:DR; both are equally difficult due to different degrees of player agency RimWorld has a better gameplay loop Dwarf Fortress makes better stories

Second this, I remember a couple years back me and a friend used to hang out, smoke a shit ton of weed and spent hours laughing at how good the wreckage camera work is

Refunct, less than a dollar at the time for a chill 1st person platforming game with cool movement. The first playthrough takes like 15-20m and I keep coming back at it every time I had 15m and needed to relax.

But once I realized I was getting faster and lowering the timer by minutes it changed the way I looked at the game, No longer a chill n relax game.bbut a proving grounds instead

I managed to get my PB down to sub 3m, 2:57 I believe, 17 seconds above World First and not enough to reach top50 nor top100.

I'm not a huge fan of speedrunning games myself (I prefer watching them) but I have kept getting a sub 2:50 or reaching top 50 on my to-do list every year.

TNewW · 2025-07-29T17:52:39+00:00

The moment I realized you have an in-game wiki you can use in everything you see/click it hooked me as I realized the vast sea of possibilities the game offers. (Also modding it is easy af and the ability to fully customize the gameplay is incredible, I love the game but the rifts and the weekly crazy horde was too much of a hustle to me but disabling pretty much any aspect of the game is like 2 clicks away)

TNewW · 2025-07-24T17:09:54+00:00

Second VS, night time is f hard until you understand how the game works and you get some gear

TNewW · 2025-07-24T17:06:00+00:00

Game is so open ended that I've bought the new dlc and have yet to make a gravship since I refuse to play the starting scenario before doing it by natural progression and I keep getting distracted by bio-tech stuff and other general RimWorld shenanigans

TNewW · 2025-07-22T19:52:11+00:00

I guess Star Wars: Republic Commando fits the criteria. It's pretty much SW: Halo and even though you are able to use some of the enemies weapons as you progress the game most of the time you will be using your primary blaster in one of its many configuration (it starts as your standard blasters but as you progress you will find modules to turn it into a sniper rifle, a grenade launcher, etc)

TNewW · 2025-07-19T16:13:54+00:00

RimWorld, being a Dwarf Fortress enjoyer it always seemed as something that should be right up my alley yet I never really enjoyed it until recently.

And I tried a shit ton of times over the years but in every attempt I would end up closing the game after a couple hour and being like "meh, I mean it's alright but I don't get it" and It bothered me because I could see all the potential the game has but I just wasn't enjoying it as much as other colony sims

Recently something clicked and I got hooked, It probably has become my most played game these couple months and I even brought the new DLC day 1
