i don't know where you're getting the idea that i think music is all about mechanical skill
this whole argument is about session musicians
all im saying is you cant give a country music session musician a jazz fusion or classical piece and expect them to play it well
but turn the situation around and you can

it's literally undeniable, this isnt about some stupid jazz ego that i have jesus christ

and obviously genre is a loose guideline/label for music but you can still use genre to make an argument

i've been playing music for over 10 years and i can say with confidence that certain genres are inherently more difficult to play/require more knowledge than others - of course you could write a really avant-garde pop song that is tough to play but you should be able to understand the correlation between genre and difficulty :)

to add to the argument that jazz musicians are great at sessioning is their generally great ability to improvise which is vital in the studio if you really want to make something sound nice and original

nothing about knowledge and experience is pretentious

knowing more and being able to play difficult pieces makes you a much better session musician when you're given some random thing you havent played or heard before

get the fuck off this forum if you think that way

what's funny? you think a good jazz fusion drummer couldnt walk into a studio and lay down a track for whatever shitty pop or rap song they need?

jazz/fusion/classical musicians (anyone who isnt scared to color chords with flat/sharp 7/11/13ths and venture outside of 4/4 really) are by far at the top of the game mentally/dexterously and if you disagree you literally have no fucking idea what you're talking about

more classes more polish less gimmick weapons and an actual mm system

better netcode

having another player is better. like what the fuck really guys? it's not like the revolver doesn't do damage

if you're good you should know where the other team is generally anyway

plus a spy can ghost for you lol

fab should not be on med

S tier - sushi rice, wild rice
okay tier - everything else

I find myself eating less carbs nowadays and therefore less rice but I would also like to second the post about the rice noodles. really convenient stuff, much rather make a stir fry/ramen with those than make rice

I have frontier fiber (subsidiary of verizon) and I am having the exact issue to only a few chicago servers. I get my normal 70 net graph on most servers but on na#5 and #4 I hover around 110.
