What controller do you use? Tell me in the comments!
You put into words exactly how I feel about music/storytelling/fighting games that I didn't realize till now XD I want to master something.
Same here. Found some kindred spirits here. :D
Only controller that matters is a nintendo WII REMOTE
nah fam the dk bongos are the way to go
@HyenaKingYT Official The Tony Hawk skateboard for the PS2...
We just gonna forget about the duck hunt gun controller?
PWesky
Nah ma boi its all about the Atari Jaguar controller.
Samba dé Amiga maracas are the way to go
im an instant nescafe, pencil only, dual shock type of guy. I was guided to pursue wrestling as a child and the nakedness and lack of equipment is what drew me to the sport.
Not gonna lie kinda gay but pretty cool dude
@@carck6442 true, but it depends on your mindset. When you look it from the perspective of an adult is sounds hella sus lol, but if you read it with the understanding of how a young child might perceive it then it makes sense because children enjoy being comfortable and free, even as babies as well as young kids we all enjoyed running around naked without clothes and letting it all fan out in the breeze, plus the idea of something fun that doesn't require specific gear or equipment to enjoy always sounds good to kids especially those who don't have the funds or the know how to acquire said items
@@SkylarEmelio91 yea that's why I thought it was pretty cool. Kids are great
I love how chill the coffee talks are it really feels like just talking over some coffee
This is really important. Not the arcade stick thing, but just taking a second to look inward to understand yourself and your behaviors. It's key to finding inner peace. Good for you
Not so long ago, I realised that I'm playing videogames on the same keyboard for 13 years. I tried gamepads, other keyboards and I am yet not satisfied. I have no feel that I have when I use things I'm used to. I would say that I like things I used to.
ofcourse it takes time to get used to new hardware :3 try to play easy games at first
Same, bought a fight stick for the first time last week... already ordered a ODIN (wasd drop in joystick replacement)
I often watch your video as studying English !!
Best of luck
YK music “I often watch your videos to study English” would be the right phrasing, just so you know.
@@giusepperesponte8077 he's was almost correct actually. He just needed to put an s at the end of videos, other than that his phrasing works
As well as I'm inbetwen as and studying
Right now I’m stuck. I don’t know what I can do that I will feel that line of progression that I need. I like fighting games, but the games I have aren’t something I am interested in and I don’t have the money to get the games that would interest me and fill that need of progression. But I do feel that the tool is just as important as anything else. If you were to take away the tool and replace it with something else, it wouldn’t feel the same and give off the same vibe. It’s important to have that, like in fighting games because it can throw you off edge and off track and you won’t feel the same joy with it.
I too enjoy investing in the tools whether it be in a video game or sport, however while growing up my parents would not let be get something unless I really needed it. They did this because I would come up with new things or passions all the time and they didn’t know which ones I would actually invest time in and which ones will just be a waste of money. Looking back that limited me to a whole lot of hobbies or activities that I could have invested time in and improved on.
I find it curious that I've only recently discovered your channel because you echo a lot of things that I like about myself.
I too am very fond of rituals and pickup up hobbies/activities that can be mastered such as balisong flipping, writing music, learning languages, making art, cooking. etcetera.
Often when given the chance I'll always choose a more hands-on approach to something that most tend to rush through or automate like how I usually like to wash dishes by hand, cook my own meals, and I actually really don't like how not-interactive making coffee with a regular coffee maker is. (I even opt-in to certain situations on other people's behalf if they don't want to do it such as untangling leads or opening packages)
To be honest it hasn't really been something that's crossed my mind so I'm grateful you've brought it up because it gives me a chance to self reflect and make conversation.
Thanks for the great video.
Subscribed.
Man this video was eye-opening for me. I am the same type of personality as you are - many hobbies (to many?) and really enjoy process and tools even more than effect. I am into making music, painting warhammer minis, many other games and now I am looking for arcade stick. Thanks for your videos!
I like the way he made this video, it's relaxing and he's not talking really fast. The style and the way he discusses things in the video is relatable in a way my brain wants to understand things. Subscribed after watching two videos. He has a coffee guy charm.
I really want to buy an arcade stick, my thumb doesn't really work with a pad, sliding it across the dpad hurts a lot after some time of playing
Yeah that's a big problem and arcade sticks looks like the only solution :(
Well, everyone starts off like that. If you play enough, you develop a callus there and your thumb can handle it.
Put a shirt or a thin piece of cloth over your thumb. There is no pain and you can slide without complication.
@Jaksidatoo inaccurate, you gotta have some serious accuracy to make your inputs
Dude you can use the analog stick. Thats what i do.
Wow, I'm not the only one! The manipulation of a tool with the sole purpose being gaining mastery of the tool, with the result being mastery of an instrument/medium/whatever. I wonder how many people are actually like that. I enjoyed your cerebral self-analysis. Would be fun to have a coffee with you some time! Lots of things to talk about. I totally agree on arcade stick versus game pad. I find that the arcade stick scratches an itch I've had since I was a kid in the arcades back when they were everywhere here in the U.S. I really miss that! There is something magical about the arcade hardware/user interface that you just can't get from a game pad, no matter how fancy they get. It's just not the same. I'm going to have to try your coffee-making ritual too. I also find the press to be ... boring. Very interesting video.
I just realized this, but playing on a stick is almost like playing an entirely different console.. like it separates fighting games from all the others just that much more. Kinda like if you get a PSVR or a racing sim setup, these things are almost more than just an add-on or accessory but almost like an entirely new and separate gaming console with a completely different experience. At least in my mind, a fighting game isn't a fighting game until you're playing it on an arcade stick.. it's sorta not the same without one.
Personally, while mastery is an end goal for many of us, maybe the reason many have satisfaction from said gained mastery is not from mastering said end goal, but the progression of set end goal. Because being able to see the progress one has made is always a great feeling. Take coffee making for example. Sure, the end reasult of a good cup is sweet but being able to see it from bean to grinder to powder through filter to cup is quite the journey from bean to drink.
That is exactly why I cannot stick to one game, the journey and feeling of learning a new game engine, characters, and combos keep me from getting great at any character or game... i just enjoy jumping between too much lol
I thought it would be cool to program the Labo piano to be used as a controller via Toy-Con Garage, but then came the crashing reality that once I remove the Labo game card and pop in any other game, the piano doesn’t do work... Oh well, I still did something cool, I just can’t use it with fighting games lol
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I really enjoy while making coffee videeooss
Charlie L. From the UK iirc
... Is it bad, that this video helped me realize things about myself? Lmao. It kind of makes sense now, why I'll pick something up -- learn it, and then move onto something else. Everyone else pegs this for ADD, or lack of interest. I now realize, it may just be that I enjoy mastering things, otherwise I'm completely lulled into boredom.
I actually relate to all of this weirdly with music, drawing, gaming and skating it’s crazy
Love this video. It puts into words my weird obsession with technology. As someone that has multiple computers, different computers are used for different things. I have a desktop computer for gaming and a desktop computer for work stuff. I also have a laptop that I use for LAN events and a different laptop for development stuff. Finally, I have my Chromebook which is what I mostly use when I am doing writing. I prefer using different "tools" for different things. I believe this thought process extends to a lot of things even if we don't even realize it.
What a privileged mindset.
@@GoatLeg asshole check?
As a long time Tekken player I would say what controller you use is extremely important. Using your thumb as opposed to your whole arm is a huge difference. Time it takes for a stick to return to neutral is different that a ps4 pad. Korean stick vs. Japanese stick also makes a huge difference.
I struggle with the same feelings.
But I felt like it was a foolish and selfish feeling.
Super validating to hear someone else's struggles and comings to term regarding the topic.
Subbed!
I didn’t realize you had so many interests. I’ve seen your videos most of times I look up stuff tekken and controller related stuff for it. But damn I have a super expensive synthesizer hobby that you summed up my feeelings for so nicely.
I love how your videos are peppered with ever-so-subtle innuendos; I have to stay alert because some of them are easy to miss ;-) . Interesting point about gamblers by the way, it almost seems like the Dunning Kruger effect. Both my parents were gamblers in their own way, and it looks like my siblings and I have broken away from it, but I still kinda have a bit of this "I will do better than others" mentality, which is usually unfounded. I was pretty good at some skills, like sports, drama and art at school, so I guess I cherry picked those successes and assumed it applies everywhere in life. Only now, on my second attempt at college am I trying to learn 'actual' mastery, rather than thinking I will be one of the 'lucky' ones who will automatically do well (a couple of years as a mature student has definitely kicked that fantasy out of me).
I love fountain pens and mechanical keyboards almost the same way.
I bought a hori arcade stick to play tekkens now tekken 7. Your fingers are sharing the work load than using only two thumbs on a traditional controller. This makes a satisfying feel after multiple hours of fighting gaming.
Thank you sir. You inspired me to continue playing Samurai Shodown after getting my ass handed to me twenty times in a row.
man I feel like I'm in the same shoes..played multiple instruments, did arts, different sports and for the last year fighting games. In all cases I cared more about the guitar neck, brush, hockey stick or controller than the actualy hobby itself! Was never able to vocalize it the way you just did, so thank you.
I think you really hit the nail on the head with this video.
The music on your channel is surprisingly good for the fighting community and the size.
For me, it's the experience, entertainment and enjoyment of video games, I never ever think of the tools I'm using, or try to Master games.
Roguelikes are addicting for me because they can be any type of game, single player, and they can be mastered as well as highly replayable.
wow do I relate to this video so hard. I learned a lot about myself today!
1:40 I'm glad you said that they do still exist in America, because I've heard too many people say they don't really exist here anymore. While they definitely aren't as prominent as before, there are still arcades over here, and the newer ones, such as Round 1, even have games that are usually Japanese exclusive, and they even sell e-Amusement passes. As for not as modern arcades, there are at least 3 nickle-cades in my area, which allow you to play classic arcade games for nickles instead of quarters.
best youtube video i have seen in a long time. the way you see the word is amazing. I see it the same way, u see the beauty of progression and the medium in between. being a skater . gammer, dj , drummer and mmorpg pvp junkie. and drunk this video rings true to me on so many levels - also that perfect Coffe poor makes the tummy rumble. - move vids like this!!! im crazy sorry lol
For me it's not about the tools or winning that made me stick on playing fighting games, but it's the knowledge I can learn from it. there's so many situations that can happen, such as match ups and such, but yeah I just enjoy labbing
I play Fighting Games on Pad for over 15 years now, but after all that Wave Dashing and Korean Backdashing in Tekken messing up my D-Pads on 4 PS4 Controllers in a row, I decided to order my first Arcade Stick.
It‘s coming in 2 days and I can‘t wait to finally try playing on a Stick 😄
I am extremely happy to see other people feel the way I feel. I am into cars but the only reason I think I like them is because I enjoy driving manual way too much. Like yeah I guess it’s cool to work on cars but it’s way more fun to me to get better at controlling my car. I guess it’s the same reason I like skateboarding
It's so interesting that your point of view in life is so close to mine. I've played a lot of games with other people where they tell me "use this, this is the best way to play" and sometimes it fits me but most of the time, I end up using something I found myself.
The "expensive tool with lots of things" part is also true. I love music and especially the drums and I've never gotten into it so much because up until now, I haven't managed to buy the drum set of my dreams, both because it's expensive and because I have no room space for it, but I can feel it while playing say, Guitar Hero, that it's something I like but not quite it. I'm good at it, I play on Expert +, but it's not THE drum set.
By the way, just recently I've built my custom fighting stick and it feels great but I'll probably stick to a regular pad because it's not that great, perhaps for the reason that it's not high quality, expensive, level.
YOU JUST PUT MY WHOLE RELATIONSHIP WITH TOOLS INTO WORDS!!! THANK YOU!!!
This video was just beautiful. It had some kind of different charm to it.
This is definitely how I feel about pads/controllers, and why I still play fps games with them, even on pc. However, when it comes to fighting games, I can play on pad, but I'd much rather play those with an arcade stick because it feels more natural for that type of game feel
Very interesting, I have been playing fighting games for a number of years now on pad, and just recently switched over to a fight stick. I became frustrated at first and kept asking myself “why do this when I can win way more matches with a pad?” But when I could pull up a dragon punch every time, it clicked, kind of like the first time I landed a kick flip, and it’s what you said, it’s about mastering this tool not being the best with a pad.
To grow up only playing arcade machines in the late 80s and early 90s, skateboarding through the city on weekends looking for new arcade games in tearooms etc... that was the best childhood I could have ever asked for. I only went home to eat and sleep. Kids today are missing so much, I don't care what the specs are on a ps5, its just interactive movies that you prompt with a cheap plastic piece of trash using your damn thumbs.
1. Why do you spiral the hot water on the coffee from the center toward the edge instead of from the edge to the center?
2. I agree about the controller for gaming, whatever you choose it needs to be comfortable for hours of gaming and will usually be expensive.
3. Going to other things needing a tool, I agree without a good tool it can make a job more difficult this applies to anything from household chores to working as a scientist in a lab to building a next generation spaceship.
just hit the yoyo bit , i throw , totally get it, even the coffee right? im not done yet but i see where you are going.
the specific tool can be very important for different reasons. For many years, I played fighting games exclusively on pad. It wasn't until I played Blazblue Calamity Trigger & SF4 where I started using a stick simply because I had a hard time justifying spending a lot of money on an arcade stick just for a specific game(s). But when I did start doing it, one thing was immediately apparent! My fingers stopped hurting!
I always used the d-pad for my special move inputs in fighting games and it really started hurting my thumb when i did lots of rotations on the dpad and I could never get the same level of control with the analogue stick. but when I used an arcade stick, those issues went away and I stuck with arcade sticks for my FG controller for the most part. Some games which require much fewer rotations, like DoA & Tekken, I go back to pad but otherwise, it's stick all the way now and my thumb thanks me for it!
Another tool I use is acrylic paints for when I paint model kits. I use acrylics specifically because they are easy to obtain and are non toxic. If I used other paints in my airbrush, I'd have to put much more consideration into my setup due to the toxic fumes which the other paint types release.
As someone who grew up obsessed with arcade sticks I 100% agree. I have learned that I play fighters best with keyboard/hitbox (not even mentioning some of the cheaty things you can do with a hitbox if you know what character can exploit it) but I only use sticks because it is fun.
Thank you Nihongogamer for expanding my horizons to fighting games and arcade sticks. Just another thing added to my ever expanding list of hobbies.
Also yes the tool is super important to me. I'm a photographer and I just love shooting my old dslr. The increase of mirrorless cameras is sucking the fun out of it for me. I liked having a big hefty camera with hours and hours of battery life.
If I only had a pair of crappy earbuds, I wouldn’t listen to music nearly as much as I do. I love the little details that makes the music sound... complete. If I only had half of a song, I would be missing out on so many things. That’s why I value high quality listening devices. They help me see the full picture.. the full song.
The tool is important depending on the game i'm playing. I'f I'm playing Marvel vs Capcom 2, it is easier to do fly combos with iron man using a stick rather than a controller because the d-pad is not very reliable for precise inputs. It is also harder for me to be able to press the buttons since i have to use my whole hand to press the buttons and hold the controller at the same time. You need your hands to be completely free so that your execution isn't hampered by you having to hold something while at the same time trying to play.
Anyone feel like pad has an advantage over stick in terms of blocking Xups beyond just your ability? I feel like Xups were initially designed with the intent of messing up someone's joystick by forcing them to drag for a particular window of time in which it will mess up the player but pads kind of lessened those windows of mistakes by letting you instantly move over in a micro second faster than a stick ever will.
Pour over is the best and the bloom is very important! I love joysticks as well!!
Dangit. You mentioned making tea. There is the same thing with tea with me. I might have entirely TOO MANY TOOLS for making tea from tea bowls to different teacups and teapots made of different materials. There’s timing of steeping the tea, pouring it without burning your fingers, matching teaware with the kinds of tea you’re drinking and crying at how little space in my cabinet I have to buy more teacups… I totally get it.
I can't seem to get a very consistent grind on my Porlex although I enjoy having a bur grinder. Working on getting my coffee to the next level, cool to see someone making coffee where I wasn't expecting it
I just came here to learn more about my latest obsession, arcade sticks, and I learned more about the creator and myself then I thought I could.
Awesome video.
Btw, you (& everyone) should also read & study analytic philosophy to scratch that itch of progression.
It’s one of _the_ best ways to sublimate that itch of progression for all of humanity.
Start with A Brief History of Analytic Philosophy by Schwartz if interested. Enjoy
I play to inflict pain to people's ego as I take first place and use smash attacks to power through death moments
I thought I was listening to a collage lecture
When it comes to fighting games you could give me a potato and ill still try play the game. The skill level in fighting games has always been almost unfathomable to me. The mind games that go on is absolutely incredible
yeah ive got bored with my tablet, so decided to pic up an airbrush. part of the appeal was buying a nice one to practice with
I kinda get it. I love playing video games, but lately I've been obsessed with customizing my gaming gear. I'm a Smash player (to celebrate my long love of all things gaming) and I have six GameCube controllers, all customized in some way. I only ever use one controller, but I've bought ten so far to customize things. Six have actually worked out. The paracord cable mod is a tough one...
I modded my Switch and my Joy-Cons, then made my wife a custom Pro controller. She barely even plays games, so it was logical to drop $100 over the course of the customizing.
I'm only watching this channel because I found one of swapping out buttons. I'm now obsessed with making my own arcade controller. I don't even play anything other than Smash competitively.
I modded my car. I modded my computer. I just really love modding things. I'll play a game just to need a tool that can be modded, so that I can mod it.
I love your good taste on coffee. I got a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and Joycons. For a game for Super Smash Bros Ultimate isn't a great combination. I guess I need a GameCube controller to get the feel right
Ultimate is really laggy no matter what controller. This might explain the feel difference.
The upside of the lag in the program is both future-proofing in the programming, and reducing the advantage difference that elite setups have over cheap ones. It also enhances the value of strategy over skill.
It is different and akward at first though.
This is definitely how I felt when deciding to get an arcade stick this year , it was my first time getting one and it feels so much more satisfying seeing myself improve at fighting games while using it (DBFZ currently ) and I almost have more motivation to improve at the game that I didn’t have while using pad, Though i still had fun before I honestly thought it would be more fun to use stick and it has been , it breathed new life into my experience and normally I go for rpgs and adventure games ( Final fantasy , Skyrim, kingdom hearts ftw!)
I expected an in-depth competitive analysis of the pros and cons of using an arcade stick or controller.
For one year I've used a fake Xbox One Controller (It's still good) on Pc. I recently bought a Switch Pro Controller and I get way more excited playing a game if I use the Switch Controller. It doesn't change anything about the game, I'm just using a different device to play the game, yet it changes how I feel when playing the game.
Wow. I think this is the first video of yours I like and I agreed with. The best part is this is an old video. I only saw you newer videos. I gotta say I was mainly a pad player but I still played in the arcades back in the day. I still bought sticks and still have sticks. I can use both pretty well. Better on pad but the pad almost limits your roster of playable characters. I mean you can remedy this with different button layouts. I did transition to hitbox. I hated the stick on fight sticks. Loved the buttons. I hated the buttons on pad but loved the Dpad. Let me tell you the hitbox has changed everything. Hitbox is my favorite. Its the most accurate in both ways that I love!
I didn't enjoy fighting games in my youth in the same way I do now.
Playing Soul Calibur 2 arcade mode on the Gamecube was a highlight of my childhood.
Years later learning when to defend and being able to best my friends and foes at a tourney because, I know more, I execute better, I won the mindgame of neutral is more satisfying than anything. I agree entirely that your choice in tool makes the most difference in any task.
I play on Hitbox because it is the most satisfying arcade style controller I've used and going further than that, I play Xianghua in soul calibur because she's the most satisfying character to use for me. If I had to play on pad, or play a less fun to use character, I wouldn't enjoy the game nearly as much. Both character and controller are tools to get you to learn the game/engine/mechanics and using tools that you like makes the game actually fun.
I love your hoodie! Who makes those? Or is it custom? Also I like when you put a little of yourself and internal thoughts into your videos. It feels more personal. One day after playing some SFV I decided to boot up FFIX on PC and I quickly realized I didn't have my wired controller plugged in so i flicked the joystick of my Hori stick just to see if it registered. It did, so I ended up playing an RPG with a stick and from that point I never went back. I really enjoy the tactile feel of having an arcade stick, even if not for fighting games. Something not to forget is the customization aspect of fightsticks. I was talking about this with my friend and made the comparison to it being like if I was to drive her car. Though it achieves the same task. i would immediately have the feeling of "Hey this isn't my car." It feels different, drives differently, yet achieves the same goal. Just like picking up a friends fight stick and thinking to myself "The button layout is the same, but feels different. The weight is different, but I can still play the game." Having an arcade stick (just like with a car) can express a part of a persons individuality through personal taste. I am glad there are so many different types of arcade sticks as well as buttons that can be swapped and mods that can be stylized. Thanks for your videos. i appreciate your insight and your accent is 'chef kiss' excellent.
i'm modding my stick with my own artwork of my wife
Honestly, the Japanese sticks don't really trigger that nostalgia. Our arcade machines are more likely to use Happ/IL parts. I actually made a couple sticks with IL parts for fighting and retro gaming, since no one makes mainstream sticks with those parts. Sanwa parts only came into my life around 2009.
I only picked up an arcade stick because i wanted to able to play at arcades that had those controls. I rarely have time to go to arcades so I ended up buying one. However, once I have free time i'll definitely hit up and arcade asap.
seeing that fight stick made me think if you can use that for taiko. i own the drum but it gets pretty loud even for me and getting those long note chains can be pretty tough on a controller...hmmm
Yeah! that ritual is relaxing to me and I don't know why ^^.
I play Soulsbornes on a PS4 controller because that's what works for me. To play a Soulsborne on anything else feels way alien. Outside of Souls games I prefer joycons as I can play with them in wrist straps
It warms my heart to see an Asian with an English accent rather than American.
Gee thanks NihingoGamer, now I have to spend the rest of the month reflecting about this.
Anyway to answer the question at the end of your video:
To me I think I have the same view as you about mastery, but I do not care about the tool. I don't think a tool is needed to achieve mastery. That may just be me, but as a martial artist I always believe that skill or technique is what needs to learned, studied and mastered in order to get good at something. When I started using a stick for fighting games it was a matter of learning the technique to use the stick, so that I could continue improving on the game. My mindset when it comes to fight sticks may have been influenced a little by how I used to use Pad for fighting games, since using a pad in order to play fighting games was natural for me and did not require much technique for me to master. In this sense you may say that I'm disconnecting the tool from the game.
Back when I first got my stick and had to get used to it, I tried to use the stick for 2D fighters, but after about 3 weeks I noticed that I was still significantly better with a pad and many of the things I could pull of with a pad was almost impossible for me on the stick. This made me go back to using pad specifically for 2D fighters so that I could continue my mastery of the game I was playing. After a while of only using Stick for 3D fighters I tried it once again on a 2D fighter and noticed that I had much more control over my inputs and could easily pull of moves and combos I struggled with when I first began. That made me start using stick for all the fighting games I play and allowed me to improve at the game while also improving at using the tool.
Equally my skill with pad actually deteriorated, I one day decided to use a pad because the stick was just too big and I was tired of carrying it everywhere. That day was really frustrating for me, simply because I couldn't pull off the techniques I had learned since I picked up the stick, as well as all my combos and moves feeling unnatural. Not only had I improved further in the game since I started using the stick, I had also gotten used to doing new things on a stick so the pad felt unnatural and uncomfortable.
In the world of DJing the tool can give you new avenues to explore the craft further but the basics of mastery are pretty consistent so there's an interesting comparison to be made. Especially since they're always cramming new bells and whistles to make you want to buy more things. And of course you want to buy the things. And upgrading from a 2 channel controller to a 4 channel one was super satisfying but I barely use those added features. I'm glad I have it so I can use them when it's important but I could probably do most of the things I do without them. In fact, I would probably be a better DJ if I focused less on the technology and more on mastering techniques that you could use on any gear, from cheap to expensive.
I'm happy making the change from pad to stick because it transcends gaming generation. Think about how many generations of play station controllers and the different feels but now with adapters and sticks what you've mastered you can hold on to. I'm sure Sony is going to make all ps4 controllers obsolete with the ps5 but I'll still be using my same stick for the third generation
i love this video it really opened my eyes to why I feel so attatched to what I'm using to do the thing i like to do
For me it is very important to keep my mac os mastered. I have the desire to make sure that I know what my system can and cannot do and that I have all the shortcuts and plugins set in a most producitive way.
As for drawing, sometime I try to force myself not minding on the tools so that I can focus on the content.
The best part of this video is the coffee making
BTW, weightlifting is a really cool hobby anyone can get into! There's lots of cool gym gear. And mastering manipulating the weights feels awesome and your progression is DEFINITELY easy to see. Best of all it's great for your health! That's my current obsession.
I was an aficionado by arcade sticks too, today I just have 2 arcade sticks, a razer atrox x360 dual moded with a brook ps3/ps4/pc pcb and a Hori Vewlix noir, but I still love arcade sticks, I can´t imagine myself playing fighting games without one.
respectfully, when you speak of mastery when it comes to music, I disagree. It's certainly possible to understand your musical instrument to the point where you understand all of the common techniques to interact with that instrument to various effects, but musical composition is more of a hybrid of technical and emotional exploration. For example, someone reasonably well versed in music may be able to recognize the melody of a particular piece of classical music and replicate it with technical skill and competency on the instrument of their choosing, but also new songs are still being created some millennia after humans first began playing and passing down music. every generation or two, new techniques are created for playing standard instruments leading to new combinations of effects and new songs to the point where when some artist decides to play their instrument in a manner different than has become standard, and use that technique to create a new creative work, some so-called masters of that instrument may think to themselves "why didn't I think to play my instrument that way, I could have created this" and if they enjoy that new song, perhaps they learn it and play it and create other music in that same style. for example if you were to look at music history in the 1930's, you won't find rock and roll anywhere. you'll find all the precursors needed fairly easily for a common 4 piece rock and roll band, you can find the beginning musterings of swing, easily find jazz, blues, big band, but until someone picks up an instrument one day, starts playing an upbeat blues riff, and begins building out the stylistic rhythm, common chord progressions, and sound building blocks of rock and roll music, there's no rock. I believe that it is certainly popular to intimately understand a complex instrument, and master a variety of techniques to a high technical competency, I believe it impossible to master the instrument itself as it's possible to invent new creative techniques and use the instrument in a way that it is not traditionally intended.
As an artist, gamer and skater I can relate 100%
That coffee part was nice
I randomly came across your channel and found this video by chance and what you're talking about really resonates me about the progress thing and mastery of tool, but I'd say I'm more of a "master everything I like" rather than mastering the tools. But really, I really relate about the coffee part too even though I don't make my own coffee using those (instant coffee lol) I really do enjoy the process of mastering something. You really helped me self-reflect when I've been thinking I've been doing it wrong for not enjoying automated things and casual stuff just for the sake of getting rid of boredom like everyone else.
And for the mastery thingy, I have a problem about my current financial condition that make me not able to get into the things I want to do to feel like I've progressed in life (Volleyball, Switch for SSBU, Fashion, and skincare if you're curious). What do you think I should do? Do I just work? Do I just focus on getting a major first? I'm 18 yo and I don't know where should I go after graduating high school.
Thanks! I can’t advise on whether or not to spend money on education etc but whatever you choose, maybe try spending a year meeting as many people as you physically can in all your fields of interest. I’ve most often discovered my next track through chance encounters. so rapidly increasing the number of new people you meet often results in a sudden boost in opportunities and discoveries :)
@@NihongoGamer Thanks for the reply! Honestly even though I'm the one asking questions, I didn't expect you would reply to a comment on an old video lol. What would you do after meeting new people in your field of interest? Do you just ask random stuff that's related to your field of interest and try to befriend them? or do you not think about it at all and just try to start a conversation with as much people as possible? Can you give some example on what would you do if you're trying to meet new people on your field of interest if you don't mind? I'm bad at conversing with strangers xD
Thanks for the advice!
I just follow rules from the movie '40-year old virgin'. No matter what response u get, just stick to questions (obviously not too literally). Conversations only really die when one person decides to talk about themself too much for the other person to handle ;)
@@NihongoGamer Thanks for the advice! I'm gonna try these when I get the chance
I am 100% with you on this.
Same here, things the I can get better is way more interesting.
I know what you mean. Something about the hardware itself is almost as fun as the games. There is no particular reason I NEED to have multiple different styles of stick and button, but there's something fun about trying them. It feels a little boring these days with _everything_ coming with Sanwa parts, although they're undoubtedly excellent parts. Imagine if they were still coming out with lots of IL sticks or whatever.
Whilst researching arcade sticks I came across this video, and I must say I found your points very interesting!
You've gained a follower!
Love the video, but you need to upgrade ur handgrinder game. also a small tack-on, I think the aeropress offers even more control and tinkering/mastering, than pourover.
Excellent video, I could watch these videos all day 👍
Came for the controller talk, stayed for the pour over coffee.
Hi bro... Do you recommend the Razer in general terms and to play MK11?
I just like hearing this guy talk and the abstract ideas he brings up lol
I play on pad because it's most convenient for me (I've been playing a lot of switch mobile), but i love my stick. I love my stick because it's something I have complete control to change. I've replaced buttons, stick, art, encoder, every part of the stick is something I get to decide on and maintain.
I also got into yoyo for a similar reason, I loved the cathartic activity of maintaining it and making everything work at peak performance. I fix broken retro consoles and resell them because I enjoy the activity of opening them, finding the issue, fixing it, and restoring the system to a state that looks and feels new.
