Oh! It's funny, because when I started writing my thought-edition had an even longer disclaimer at the start to really really drive home how much I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT assume the term originated with the game and understood that it was it's own term so nobody would think I was a fool.

Then it turns out I was a fool for assuming the opposite

[Yoink]

Well, I don't know where it originated, but I absolutely have heard musically-inclined folks refer to their idols as their "guitar hero".

Or your drum hero, or bass hero, or whatever. Whoever's footsteps you followed in whilst learning your instrument.
I always assumed the game was named after that term but who knows, it could be the other way around.

[Arx]

I've certainly never heard anyone refer to, say, Jimi Hendrix as a guitar hero. It seems reasonable enough as original to the game to me.

[Reelya]

It's not a common phrase, "guitar god" is more common. However you can do a google search restricted by years, to filter out all references to the game.

"Jimi Hendrix ‎– Guitar Hero" was apparently an actual album title from 1978.

Not being able to make use of google-fu beyond the site: command and "text between quotations is searched wholly together" functions, how would I search for that?

Well, just 'cause I hadn't heard it didn't mean it didn't exist! Interesting.

Learning things I havn't known before is why I like this thread

[Frumple]

Probably use the latter, but limit results by date, if I had to guess. You can leave one side empty to get everything up to or beyond the date input.

Should I shell out almost $60 for Disco Elysium?
It just came out, so waiting for a sale would probably take a while and I'm really keen to play it - it looks fantastic.
I just got paid, so this kind of spending is an option again, but at the same time, well, I probably shouldn't go right off the deep end.   
I don't have to pay rent 'til next payday, though, so that's nice.   

[Egan_BW]

Jeez, that's how much it costs down there? Oh well, I can tell you it's an excellent game. I got it as soon as it came out, and it was worth.

I was thinking of something poignant to put in instead of ptw but ptw anyway.

Thank you for teaching me new vocabulary.

Random Question Time

Why is it that I get random melodies in my head that aren't of any songs?

Why do I think of lyrics for these melodies?

Should I record these lyrics and new melodies for the Creative Works Thread?

[Magistrum]

Yes yes and yes.

And then you get nae nae'd cause you just forgot the source beat which you heard when you were 7 on a passing truck and lose it all due to copyright claims.

I'd be interested!
I think that used to happen to me back when I was studying violin (I didn't keep it up past middle school).  There's only one melody I remember from that time, which I managed to record in some apple music program and, by repetition, in my mind.

Creativity is a precious thing, and I'm pretty certain it grows stronger as it's exercised.

Rain, rain, the wind does blow

Oh hey, 1996. A good year for the world and universe. The best, objectively speaking. No better year has existed in the entire earth's history.
