It sounds like they're talking about pistol whip.

If I can promote one myself, Synth Riders can be a hell of a workout. People like comparing it to beat saber. Unlike beat saber, there's no swords, so there's a lot less wrist movement and a lot more arm/full-body movement. It feels a lot like dancing while you're doing it. I'm no great fan of exercise, but if I'm not careful I can exercise myself deep past exhaustion in this one -- especially on the harder difficulty charts.

And beyond that there's a mode where you punch the notes instead of trying to catch them. I haven't tried it, but that sounds even more demanding.

But aside from anything else, it's just fun! Great option for training cardio, it really works out the arms.

Whoa! You’re one of the people behind Synth Riders?!! That’s a great game with great music. I like the immersive add-ons and the fact that it looks like you’re actually dancing to onlookers instead of moving weird like in Beat Saber.

My only criticism is that I’m not a fan of the Swing EDM music.
