I'm gonna have to add something to the strum bar so it makes a clicky sound like the old controllers. I'm so used to the feedback; the silence throws me off.

As I see it, cueball is accusing the others of playing music like this in order to look cool, like a real rock band, The others ignore him because they are doing it to have fun, not to look cool. 108.162.241.123 20:49, 3 October 2016 (UTC) Woooo, a trope namer!
