Do you still save screenshots with steam or direct with post image ??

i still take screenshots with f12 in steam, before sending i browse and review and delete low scores in AcdSee, and then upload to postimage

Thanks for the new week! What a bunch of fun songs :D

I've been practising for half an hour and my score literally went: 86.6 --> 86.7 ---> 86.8, so I'm giving up:

Also, I pulled a muscle in my shoulder in the moshpit at Electric Callboy last Saturday, and I was hoping for the healing power of playing music to do its magic tonight, but alas, it still hurts a bit 😬
I tried playing a song of theirs, but it's harder than it sounds.

I'm still here! I started a new job that has me working late :( so I haven't figured out a good routine. Just gonna post this one because tbh I don't want to tune to eflat. I don't think this will be the week I rank up in rhythm, but I still love Rocky Horror.

Thanks! It's already feeling better :)

This one is gonna take a while.

It's been a long while since I competed in the championship, so here goes my first attempt. This song is genuinely hard lol!
I was too late screenshotting the accuracy and note streak, sorry about that

EDIT: added the second song, that was a fun one!

Welcome back @thepajomaster!! Looks like your last week was @aNDESmASAMUNE s first week as a participant. Time really does fly as you get older.. Good to see old names and hope u stay longer this time :)

Also was rereading some of the other names and it's been a while since I've seen @luckyoldme @BubbleWrapDragon@Bottledpat12 @LuZifeR and @RaZrShReD wonder what they are upto

I spend all my music time playing and learning Piano 🥺 Still miss playing more guitar though from time to time, but it's only a quick grab and play and no Rocksmith anymore.

Also on my new PC I can't make it work with Win11 and my audio interface anymore, so when I play a round of Rocksmith I gotta boot up the old PC with an old monitor, rearrange some cables and stuff so it's a bit too much of a hassle most of the time for me 😓

Hope y'all have a great time and keep rockin 😁

ah fair enough piano is fun aswell :)
kinda interesting you say it doesnt work on your windows 11, I also have windows 11 and it runs fine but my guess is it must be something else, however I do remember setting up the audio interface was a little bit annoying. I can also understand not wanting to mess around with old pc :P
well at any rate, good to see you around!

Nice to hear from you anyways!

If you ever feel the urge that the CS would be good for you just scream - i am ready to kill that microsoft demons with you and make it work, which will be the case!

Rod.

Thanks for the week @robolechuga!

Love love love this song, the movie clip is incredible. Watched it at least ten times last year 😂 I recommend @JamesPrestonUK's bass chart for this one https://ignition4.customsforge.com/cdlc/21719 instead since he's still an active charter (the most prolific?? 🤩) and it's not glitched. I had tried to work with him to get all arrangements up but since he doesn't do guitar he was asking to check some tabs, which I realized then that I can't do 😅 So now I have been diving into what it takes to charts to see if I can get some ear training under my belt! If anyone can help him with the guitar tabs maybe he is still down to collaborate! 😁

Old school cool 😎

Nice chill track 🫠

How was the concert @cacahuate51? Every time I have seen A7X they seem like they don't wanna be there 💀 I also have the same issue not being able to see some postimages pictures, not sure why.

Welcome back @Argh1992, good to see you! & welcome back @thepajomaster!

Great news @BubbleWrapDragon, as long as you still got music that's all that matters 🤘 I am also on Windows 11 with a Scarlett 2i2 interface. I don't wanna say that it was easy to set up but it was definitely possible and I learned a few things along the way. The discord is very helpful if you need. Hope to see you pop back in some day!

Galneryus is sick, I have been avoiding them because I thought it was a lot of screamo but this was just instrumental? I am scared to attempt it but nice song 🤣

Hey!

I've changed my setup and now I'm struggling with note detection. I feel that I'm not able to compete the level I want here at the current state. I need to keep fixing things. I'm glad to see that the championships are still running. You guys are doing a great job!

That's actually really hard lead. I will not try it in SA... i know the result

yeah it was sick! Gotta say tho, going to try to avoid concerts in that stadium if the only tickets are seated.

I was surprised to see this guy as the singer for scars on broadway (I had some of their songs growing up but wasnt aware)

I was like oh thats the crazzy guitarist guy from soad! never knew (cause im not a soad fan either), but i have seen that clip more times than i could count. He still has the same energy 🤣.

ADTR was a blast! not enough people disrespected their surroundings😔 Really glad i finally got to see them and hope they come again.

A7x

yea i think i prefered his performance this time (although the previous setlist was better for me as it was his older music/ cant believe no beast and the harlot or almost easy this time but i guess thats what happens when you have a big catlogue of music) he ditched the sunglasses seemed less douchey /looks more down to earth/ chill, reminded me of dwight from dbd

Thought maybe this time id get to see a little piece of heaven live since last time i was at a festival my brother wanted to leave early . But this time i wanted to go early to buy the adtr shirt so itll have to be another time (tbh im fine with just hearing it on spotify).

They played a cover of Malaguena which was interesting. Apparently its an 8 year old cover but it was the first time i heard it (or i forgot bout their version). Judging by the angle and the height of the video, the guy whom uploaded the video must've been someone close to me 😅

yt links still dont work for me🫠
