Twitch Streamer Plays FromSoftware Games In A Truly Absurd Way | Latest Gaming Industry News 2023

Spend any time on the internet—whether Reddit, Twitter, or YouTube—and you’ve likely seen some streamer doing some absurd-ass playthrough of a Soulsborne game (probably Elden

Ring). Whether it’s beating Margit with a harp or two Malenias simultaneously (one with a dance pad), there are some wild ways of tackling FromSoftware games out there.Streamer

Dr. DeComposing is simply just trying to finish FromSoft’s games without dying in the first place—except he’s using a freakin’ electronic saxophone to do so. This challenge

run, known as the Demigod Run, has been renamed by Dr. Decomposing as the“Deathless Doot Run.” It’s wild stuff.A doctoral composer (which CommonStupidMan.Com verified), Dr.

DeComposing is known for playing games with the Roland Aerophone AE-10, a roughly $700 digital wind instrument that can simulate clarinet, flute, sax, synth, violin, and other

sounds. Watching his streams is hilarious and stressful; something always goes wrong. Sometimes, his keyboard will lock up due to the interference of the electronic sax, like the

alt key getting stuck after playing a note on the instrument. Other times, he’ll accidentally walk off a cliff because of an incorrect input. Hell, he might even play with silly

sounds like farts while trying to maintain focus, such as when battling Malenia, Blade of Miquella in Elden Ring. At least he isn’t trying a hitless run of these games. I’d

said the electronic sax is connected to his computer via USB and sends MIDI signals whenever he plays notes. These messages are captured by Bome MIDI Translator, a digital

interface that converts those signals into mouse and keyboard inputs. There is a “mod wheel,” or controller stick, on the back of the instrument that’s been programmed as a

replacement analog stick to operate the in-game camera. Otherwise, every action is performed by single doots.“As I play through a game, I also have the Aerophone set up to play a

variety of virtual instrument sounds and samples—the MIDI messages that I set up to control the game are also routed to a Digital Audio Workstation (‘DAW’) that stores my

sound library,” Dr. DeComposing said. “So every time I ‘doot’ on the electronic saxophone, it simultaneously presses a button on the gamepad and plays a little sound (e.g.

a recorder, a taiko drum, a chiptune beat, a surprisingly tuneful fart, etc.). During my streams, viewers are also able to interact with the sound of the Aerophone by ‘summoning
