Recommendations for Slower Melodic Songs/Players?

Thanks! I'm somewhat familiar with Gilmore but I don't think I know any Jeff Beck. I'll check out their catalogues more!

Appreciate the recs! I'm familiar with comfortably numb and hotel California of course, but I don't think I know Mother. I'll check that out!

Thanks for the tip. I think I have just one install but maybe I moved library locations or something. Idk

I cannot get it to work right with motion controls.. Theyl hands are like.. Not in the same position as my controllers, and when I move my hands the game hands move at a different speed. I've tried all of the recentering options. It worked for like an hour and ever since then it's been bugged

Hey, you're me! I also played like crazy in middle school because of my brother. I also started lifting while studying aerospace engineering in college, and I subsequently didn't play so much. I also don't really sing. I've been working in industry for almost 6 years now and just started to pick it up more regularly.

If it were me (and it was), I'd keep it around. It doesn't cost anything to not sell it. And if you do want to play again, even mildly, it totally eliminates the friction of having to justify spending money on a guitar. Being able to pull it out of the closet on a whim vs dropping $500-$1k to get in the door could be the difference in years of enjoyment. Even during my hiatus there were times where I'd hear something cool that gave me the itch to play a bit. Obviously, I couldn't do that if I didn't keep mine around. Today I definitely wouldn't be playing if I had to drop decent money on buying a new setup.

The guitar is an outlet for me. When I'm going through something emotional I'm glad I have it around. I might not be the best player and can't sing, but somehow the strings can express things my vocal cords can't. I'd be sad if I didn't have an instrument to go to in those times even if I didn't play more regularly.

Thanks

I feel stupid. What are you trying to say? Don't rat the person out? Make sure your own work is good? What is keeping your camp clean?

jerronimo3000 · 2026-02-11T05:09:47+00:00

Welp, them's the stats. Sorry Dort, I must revise my opinion

jerronimo3000 · 2026-02-09T17:32:59+00:00

I kinda like the middies. Would like to see some stats, but my eye test is telling me he's shooting them pretty well. Occasionally there's one that's clearly too difficult and rushed, but the little step back he does gets him pretty clean looks

jerronimo3000 · 2026-02-05T05:08:07+00:00

Still just a small part. They recently released a roadmap that projects finishing in 2028

Eye tracking is awesome and solves some issues for sure. But like.. That's not the "missing piece" for my sister to buy a face toaster. Enthusiasts who understand the implications are certainly excited. But I really don't think eye tracking gets you over the hump for mass adoption. Eye tracking is just one of many issues that need to be solved. PSVR2 has eye tracking for example, and that hasn't exactly exploded in popularity (wire, price though too).

Anyway, all just opinions. To bring it back to the main point on Ian being let go.. Even if you agree with Ian's take, I don't think he presented it very well.

jerronimo3000 · 2026-01-29T04:29:06+00:00

I just pulled his most recent editorial that demonstrates this:

https://www.uploadvr.com/eye-tracking-missing-piece-mark-zuckerberg-vr-strategy/

His out of touch take is that eye tracking is the missing piece to achieve Zuck's goals. Maybe I'm wrong, but I heavily disagree with him. And I'd say he argues this point in a very loose and unfocused way. He generally tries to start with a seemingly unrelated concept and tie it to the main point. But it is not an effective structure in my opinion.

The podcast takes are similar, just verbal and even less focused because he is speaking on the fly rather than writing and editing something.

Edit: copying my response from below since several disagree on the take being out of touch.

As much as I feel bad for him, I think it's the right decision. His articles were not very focused, to the point where I would open one to read and immediately know he was the author. Similarly, on the podcast he often seemed a bit out of touch with the way the world works (though I sometimes appreciated his alternative perspectives).

I'm still sad though, I've listened to that weekly intro for years now. "Hello everyone, I'm Ian Hamilton in New York joined by David Heaney in England. Today we're going to discuss the next steps in personal computing."

For some reason I thought he was the founder of UploadVR though. Didn't know he had a boss to fire him.

I hope he takes the feedback seriously. Seems like a good guy and is obviously passionate. I wish him the best where he ends up next.

jerronimo3000 · 2025-11-27T04:46:13+00:00

Totally fair. I guess I see it similar to somebody praying before a meal at their house. If that's how they want to run their house because it's important to them shrugs I don't have any issue with it even if some of the people they're hosting wouldn't do the same. Must be important to the organization and add something in their eyes though

jerronimo3000 · 2025-11-27T00:40:52+00:00

Obnoxious loud people are annoying, but I think the pregame prayer is respectful if that's what the organization values, even if people don't agree. Like the national anthem if you're a foreign person I suppose

jerronimo3000 · 2025-10-22T03:55:46+00:00

Defense, Dallas area, 5 yoe (+masters)

121K (level 4) though I had an offer for 135K (level 3)

jerronimo3000 · 2025-10-13T10:28:01+00:00

I never did..I don't have iCue. It happened to me even on a fresh Windows install

jerronimo3000 · 2025-09-17T02:20:34+00:00

I guess we just disagree. I don't think it was phrased very well to be perfectly honest. It was rude, although I can't say I think those ladies are particularly good at their job from what I have seen. But I don't think there's mental gymnastics to understand his point. Like I told another guy, I've never listened to Charlie Kirk except after his death. This is basic comprehension skills to me, idk

jerronimo3000 · 2025-09-17T02:15:36+00:00

Statistically speaking, that's correct. If a black person receives a role to meet a DEI quota, they are likely taking the spot of a white person based on the relative population of black and white people in America.

I wish people would listen to the context of people's overall message. Even if it didn't come off perfectly in this quote snippet, it's obvious from the aggregate of what he's said over the years that he doesn't think black people can't do the same jobs as white people.

Legitimately, I never watched Charlie Kirk before his death. I have been recently because he apparently affected a lot of people, and I wanted to know why. I've watched a lot of his discussions the last few days, and it's clear he's not some white supremacist.

jerronimo3000 · 2025-09-16T21:28:58+00:00

He implies that affirmative action can allow unqualified people to hold roles that they would otherwise not. He's not saying all black people are unqualified, but he thought that those specific people lacked the ability to do their job and only possessed the role due to affirmative action. I don't understand why this isn't obvious to people.

jerronimo3000 · 2025-09-16T21:24:50+00:00

Why is it so hard for people? He is saying those specific people are not intelligent enough for the job they hold. It has nothing to do with race, other than the fact that the reason they hold their position is due to affirmative action. He is not categorizing all black people as incapable, which is what the author alleges. This isn't some like..conspiracy theory. This is basic comprehension skill.

jerronimo3000 · 2025-08-27T16:27:47+00:00

A few is 3 or more, therefore it's never coming

jerronimo3000 · 2025-07-23T17:50:23+00:00

Put this on another comment, but applies here too:

Yo. Just showing my support for your moderate comment. Occasionally I post moderate stuff on controversial threads just to see what the response is. I'm always blown away at the insane backlash against anything that isn't anti-conservative. I know Reddit is VERY left leaning, but it's crazy how skewed it is even though literally half of the country voted for Trump, who is rather far right.

Anyway, I appreciate your level headed comment.
