Re: How do you explain ffr/sm to friends who literally never think about rhythm gamin
yeah i just say dance dance revolution on the computer and people understand. how to keep people interested in SM/FFR is a different story. rhythm game hyped died down in the mid 2000's for a majority of people after guitar hero. the people still interested are people that have been in the community of rhythm games for years already, with a few exceptions here and there.

"ddr with a keyboard"
your friends probably just aren't interested in rhythm games, mine sure aren't I don't really think you're doing anything wrong, even if you followed hi19's (pretty good) advice, you still aren't that likely to get interested responses from friends, I think.

Re: How do you explain ffr/sm to friends who literally never think about rhythm gamin
Most of my friends are quite understanding when it comes to the game, when I told them about it they seemed to get it pretty well (they know its a rhythm game that you play on your keyboard)
Random sidenote: I had to explain ffr to my doctor when i spoke to him about my arm and he grasped it surprisingly well

Re: How do you explain ffr/sm to friends who literally never think about rhythm gamin
Rhythm games shouldn't be any more stressful to the body than casual typing if done properly. Half of the reason people develop issues is due to repeatedly utilizing poor technique when typing/making hand motions. Other aggravating factors like hypothyroidism, arthritis, or diabetes etc. can increase the likelihood. You should keep your wrists below your fingers so that pressure on the median nerve is minimized.

Wrist-up technique can be advantageous in certain situations but from a medical perspective you should try to avoid doing it too much.

Re: How do you explain ffr/sm to friends who literally never think about rhythm gamin
Rhythm games just aren't that interesting to watch, especially without in-depth knowledge of them. They require our full attention to play them, so there's not a lot of commentary we can do. There's nothing universal to empathize with about an ability to press buttons quickly, and watching people practice can be like watching people lift weights to music, i.e. not very interesting.
I can't get people to watch more than one or two songs, but if I tell them about the difficulty system they sometimes ask questions. If I'm lucky, I can start to get more in depth and explain how accuracy is emphasized far more than just hitting the notes. Most often I get people that ask how I can possibly hit all the notes when they can't even see them, and I explain how cool it is that you start to just see the patterns and the motions become automatic. Sometimes they ask how many times I've played the song I show them, typically a lot, but then I point out that sight reading is its own thing, and that the music plays a big role in allowing you to predict what comes next.

Re: How do you explain ffr/sm to friends who literally never think about rhythm gamin
I don't really agree, I think rhythm games leave alot of room for chat interaction, especially between songs (lets say a live stream)...
The concept of improving and progression is pretty universal and most people can understand it, tbh |

Advantageous for very jacky songs like AIM Anthem
