Can confirm, many a break from university was spent playing Guitar Hero in friends’ basements/living rooms. 

That's just the way it goes.

I still have 10 songs on hard to complete, then I have to refine my skills for expert.

It will not go well.

I have two more songs to complete on hard. Raining blood and one. Then the boss battle.

And you have to attempt Through the Fire and Flames, or else you just aren't worthy

I play real guitar and I struggle with the harder GH songs on hard tbh, it’s nothing like playing a real guitar haha. Still, good times. Rock Band would have been better though, if it had as high quality songs as Guitar Hero games did.

Lol, I try the first part and give up at the synth. I completed one section on expert. I actually recommend you play some expert before finishing the hard difficulty.

Yeah, real guitar is extremely different but extremely fun.

Game time started

Spring break's over. Class time again...

[Olly 1,011]

why dont I have any money 

 

[kaiser5578 340]

Ha, Krabs knows best

[Olly 1,011]

No but seriously I'm very broke. My balance hit 0 awhile ago, so the bank charged me $4 for having zero. Then, when I couldn't get it back up in time, they charged me another $39. That means I now have to pay 40 dollars I don't have so I can have no money again. That's broke.

 

[Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682]

Sorry, I have to take care of myself before I dare take care of others, and that also includes financial anything and, hey, the site's unbroken.

Hope you can fix your financial troubles, but I am grossly inexperienced in that type of thing.

Indeed, the site is unbroken.

And I thought it was an update at first.

A very poor one.

@Sir Punicpunch quick question: can you understand these icons?

Also, Rrr, why am I too stubborn to learn a different language, and no, I don't mean Spanish or whatever, I mean Kotlin or Java or C#.

More or less, yeah I can.

I tried learning a programming language. Got bored of it since I wouldn't know what to do with it.

I didn't actually retain anything, so no.

If I tried teaching someone the basics of a programming language, I'd probably get something wrong. That said, I'm still learning and compare this...

    // Function generates a random street name, such as Kelly Road
    // or a tautological street name such as Street Street (1% chance)
