Rhythm Games Have An Elitism Problem | Jacen Sekai

I've developed a bad habit of doomscrolling Reddit to stay up to date on the news from my various hobbies. During one of these sessions, I saw a post about the high skill floor of community-based rhythm games. Unsurprisingly, this post was downvoted to oblivion, which I think serves to prove that the OP has a point: rhythm gaming has an elitism problem that makes it difficult to get in on the ground floor.

even if it's only hp4, a miss feels like half your progress just vanishes

i swear taiko's hp drain makes me want to rip my hair out

learning streams is hard...

I'mma name that symptom that comes after a sudden break from Nightcore as "Nightcore withdrawal."

Headaches creep in as soon as you stop playing, but you're still hungry for Nightcore. It'll result in extreme lethargy as withdrawal symptoms progress, which is pretty accurate to what I'm feeling right now.

Come to think of it, I also get the same headache when I play Redout for the same amount of time. That game makes you race at speeds of ~1,250 mph

Pancakes, maple syrup, marmalades, salmons, blueberry and jams, and honey... Oh hello there! I'm just doing my own stuff here. Don't mind me ! Before you leave, I just wanna say, I use Arch, btw :p Yeah I don't follow conventional youtubers' way of making videos. I make videos bout funny and/or awesome stuffs, something I'll watch in the future or broadcast myself playing games or some computer things. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't care whether you like, share or subscribe. Decide for yourself what you wanna do with your life. I'm just a really lazy bear having fun.
