"Twitch Streamer @CarnyJared full combo'd Through the Fire and Flames at 200% speed on Guitar Hero, something never done before
He spent 9 months and 50,000 attempts to achieve this... actually insane"
Discussion
Yes, but he doesn't know how to do it and he will never know how to do it in his life...
It's called fucking the mast
Imagine if all that effort, attention and energy went into something genuinely useful, like helping a neighbour or ending hunger, free energy, or even spiritual enlightenment...
...but You said it, not me... "actually insane".

Do you only see life through the prism of "People can only do things that benefit the whole of humanity?" What do you provide to the world? Have you ever thought of accomplishing something worth knowing your name for? I hope you find peace.
He *wasted 9 months
Imagine all the knowledge he could have acquired, all the experiences he could have had, all the life he could have lived instead of this nonsense
Why are u mad at an autist doing what he loves?
Not mad, making the point that he objectively wasted his time.
What purpose is there of playing a song at 200% speed? Then throw in hes not doing it on an actual instrument but rather a toy in a video game where hes not actually producing any sound but just pressing buttons meant to mimic actual music.
And he did this for 9 months, approximately 1% of an average human life.
You don’t have to pretend to appreciate people doing frivolous stupid shit - it’s ok to call bullshit you know?
what would his skill have been in antiquity?
He might have done this on an actual instrument and produced the music himself.
Niccolo Paganini was a violinist and composer who wrote pieces where he would have strings snap during his performance and continue playing on 3 then 2 and finally a single string and still produce beautiful music.
That is actual skill.
What a waste of time because *I* don't like it. Looks like there's no objective way to analyze value.
He did something no one else has done. What have you done that no one else has, objectively? Acquiring knowledge? He has knowledge of something you never will, what it feels like to beat that song on 200% speed. I hope you find peace.
I’ve taken shits on stretches of beach which no-one has ever shat on.
Doing something no-one else has ever done is a bullshit measurement and does not of itself warrant praise or admiration. That’s labour theory of value commie nonsense.
Having “knowledge” of how to play a video game song on a controller at 200% speed is objectively useless. It does nothing to progress anything for anyone.
Knowledge is only useful if others find it useful and replicate and spread and build upon that knowledge. He could have learned how to build a machine to do this in a fraction of the time which would have given him actually useful skills that could be applied elsewhere - what use is having the skill of being able to play a toy video game controller really fast?
He can’t even play the song on an instrument and actually make the sounds himself with this “skill”.
Actually no, I could find your shit and shit on top of it. Making your claim trivial. The claim I made was based on an extreme use of practice. Which resulted in him accomplishing his goal.
By the way he streamed this feat so he at the very least provided entertainment for paying customers which of course, is not labor theory BS. Next time think about your responses a bit longer.
You asked for something I’ve done which no-one else has - I gave you something.
You have not shat on those spots, only I have.
If you want to dedicate your time to be the second person to shit on those spots to prove I alone am not the only person to have done so then you would just prove my point about engaging in completely futile endeavours.
A thing is not valuable or useful just because someone has done it.
And if you actually knew anything about subjective value as you alluded to, you would see that your subjective idea of value does not apply to everyone. Maybe we have enough musicians and need more nerds who want to watch someone play a video game. (Given Twitch's popularity I guess there's more value flowing there).
What a dumbass. Why not spend nine months to practice the Dragonforce song on an actual guitar instead. That’d be time well spent.
Why? There's already a Drangonforce band in existence. That would also be a waste of time by that logic. I hope you find peace within yourself.
"I like Through the Fire and Flames, but it's just too darn slow" - this guy probably
