Ticket to Ride. Building out your rail network is so satisfying.

Usually when a sport needs music the athlete or team plan a routine around a song. Some might choose a song that's well known in their country but not universally known. If it's a folk song it might come off as royalty free.

With the breakdancing they had live DJs cutting songs together and the dancers had to adlib their routines. According to this article the Olympics licensed around 400 songs for the DJs to use. Since each battle used multiple songs you're going to hear more tracks that you know and forget about the ones you don't.

As far as I know Clone Hero and YARG are the best options going now. They both support guitar/ bass, drums, and keyboard, although only YARG has vocals.

YARG is still in development but I haven't had any problems with it. There's also support to download venues, though I haven't messed with it so I don't know how well they work yet. I'm also guessing there will eventually be support for characters at some point, but I haven't hear anything officially. They also release on Linux.

Clone Hero has a full release and the developers are still active. As far as I know there's no venue support, although some people set the songs' music videos to play in the background. It also looks like they only release on Windows.

Both of them come with a handful of songs, though you can download a ton more. They use the same files so you can have both pull from the same library if you want. I can't remember where I found the links anymore, but I have the tracks for all of the Rock Band and Guitar Hero games that had a full band, plus other random songs I got from https://rhythmverse.co/ and https://www.enchor.us/ The songs for the Guitar Hero games that were just guitar and bass are out there too if you don't care about drums, keyboards, or vocals.

As someone using Windows who decided to check out Visual Pinball after reading your post, I'll agree it's pretty fiddly. It seems like if you have the patients/ focus to get everything set up it's really good, but if you just want to download and play something you'll probably want to go with something else.

Just a heads up someone is filling it in. I'll try to help fix it, but I'm making sure no one messes with Squared Circle's either.

I'm getting a weird thing where if I refresh Canvas some of the pixels I put down aren't showing up, but if I try to replace them it tells me I already put that color there. The heat map shows they're placed too, so I'm guessing it'll be fine. Just wondering if this is a known issue.

Edit: It's fine now, maybe it was just me, idk.

Sweet, although it's not like I need an excuse to buy more games on Steam.

Does that mean he'll be the first person to be officially #blessed?

Any time someone tells you they have an easy trick for some life changing ability ask yourself why everyone doesn't know about it already. Probably because it doesn't do squat.
