My Wangan Maxi Tune Career Returns 2024 Edition [Timezone Arcade Araneta City Gateway Mall II & Gateway Cinema] - Part 7 [First Half] (Recorded: Jun 19th, 2024)

Hey, hey! It’s me! 😁 And welcome back for another installment of "My Wangan Maxi Tune Career"! I returned in 2022, and now I'm continue it, this 2024. Yes, it's been a while. I haven't shared my WMMT's play progress in this current year, with the last record I posted was on May 31st, 2023 (Pls, go check it out in the "previous" section) before it went into troubles. And by that, I'm talking about my PC desktop problem. *sigh* 😫😔 Nevertheless, I have now SO MANY photos and screenshots that need to be uploaded on my current social media sites right away before I move on to my current update.

Once again, If you haven't seen my "first & second half" of "Part 6", then please check out my "previous" down below (w/ highlight).

IMPORTANT NOTE(S):

#1: Once again, no #OnThisDay throwback post for this date.

(And) #2: Whoever say's "FFA" was making me unhappy... 😥 Because I can't find the acronym on the Google search... This is why, this game is not ready to meet. Even though, they've already launched the old vanilla installment.*sigh* 😔

So, without further ado, let's get started:

1st to 6th Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

�� [1st to 3rd Images] June 19th, 2024, I'm here at the specific TZ Arcade branch in Araneta City Gateway Mall II, with my two beloved paper dolls (🐻👨‍🍳 Chowder & Panini 🐰👩‍🍳). Upon entering the said mall and TZ branch, the atmosphere was pretty nice and clean, much like I visited every TZ branch. Anyway, I've redeemed the ₱200 free Power Load coupon through my gold membership TZ Power Card 💳🕹️😁, with an additional ₱150 load for a good measure 💵. However, there's one problem though... There's no Wangan Maxi Tune cabinet at this particular TZ branch. 😥 Damn, it'll be better if I play it inside this awesome atmosphere, alas it ain't happened. 😓 So, should go back to Trinoma where I previously played? 🤔 Nah, because as far as I know, there's another TZ branch located somewhere at the huge "Araneta City" mall. So, I venture myself to search for another TZ branch with my trusty Google Maps app 🗺️📲, in about a 1 hour ⌚.

• [4th to 6th Images] And said an hour later, I finally found another TZ branch located at the OG Gateway Cinema. 🎞️🕹️😃 Huh, you know what, the layer reminds me of going to the Ayala Glorietta mall in Makati City, where there's a TZ branch beside the Cinema. And that was my "Real Life Story". 😁📖 I was in my High School days 🧑‍🎓🏫 (3rd year High School to be specific; 2010 to 2011) when my former BF ("Best Friend") 👤 invited me to a meet-up for playing a music rhythm arcade game (named "DJ MAX Technika" 👇🎶🎧) at the aforementioned Glorietta TZ branch, which I suck at it. But, I was also playing my debuted "Wangan Maxi Tune 3DX Plus" 🚘🌃🛣️ arcade, which is my preferred over that music rhythm. 😊 Yeah, who doesn't love playing arcades after watching an awesome movie (say the new upcoming Disney movies, etc..). I've been there, but I never actually attempted that in my life. 😥 As for the actual arcade branch, it matches my memories back in 2012 😊, and no doubt this is one of the most unique branches unlike the Glorietta branch because besides the TZ branch was this Taco Bell / Pizza Hut stand, which is an awesome nice touch if I want it to grab something delicious Taco/Pizza from the "Yum" brands! My paper dolls loves eating Taco/Pizza! Yum! 🌮🍕😋 Sadly, I don't have funds for ordering food. Bummer... 😥😓

7th & 8th Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

DJ MAX TECHNIKA 2 ARCADE GAMEPLAY

[2dkapsddr]

November 16th, 2024 - vivid/stasis, ONGEKI, maimai, DJMAX Technika, CHUNITHM, EZ2AC, DDR A3

this past week has seriously been the most stressful and depressing of my life. i've felt horrible day and night, unable to get up and unable to function as i once did, and it's been really damn hard to hide my emotions from people, i really don't know what to do... but it's the weekend now, it's supposed to be time to relax, and so i have to keep my cool and distract myself in spite of the obstacles via my little games that i've always played, past and present .

i'm getting into the endgame of tamasatchi now, and so i have to really grind out tickets due to how long the shop cooldown lasts -- where the only alternative method is to clear boundary shatter songs with gauges. the shortest of them is grode (DJ HOE SCARER REMIX) (or grodescarer for short), so i grinded it out as much as possible and ended up getting a MAX-10 AC on it!! solid potential 13+ or so should it have been a regular chart, though it's kinda hard to judge given the length w

but alas! these two scores were not but a highlight of my warmup for the day, as i was instead preparing most for the real deal that day... GAMECENTER!!! their first meeting in weeks, i was super hype this time around to go as early as i could and make the most of the game selection there... but i ended up going a little late as i was still recovering emotionally by the time i woke up fairly late. it really is a struggle that i hope would've passed by now but . gah . i don't know what to do anymore, just look at these scores and hope i'm not as doomy and gloomy next time. sorry 'bout that.

maimai actually was pretty good despite my condition . despite having gone 3 weeks without playing it, i could feel my improvement in accuracy and reading from last session carry over to this one beautifully . i played a ton of fun and hard charts across experts and masters, and with honestly great scores at that! i think i'm ready to pick right up from where i'm leaving off once maimai DX officially releases in the US, though i imagine that's not for another long while... in the meantime, i'll keep practicing and improving as much as i possibly can! highlights from this session specifically include a clear on raputa [Expert 13+], S-rank on Vampire [Master 11+], an AA on Baka Mitai [Master 13] (somehow), and an SSS FC on Rush-More [Expert 10+]!!!

while maimai was insanely cool and fun to play, i had my eyes on something more unique... something rarer and impossible to find out in the while nowadays. that's right baybeee, DJMAX TECHNIKA 3 IN THE FLESH!!!! MY FIRST TIME EVER LAYING EYES UPON A CAB, LET ALONE PLAYING ON ONE!!!! it's surreal... such an important and incredible game for its time, i'm so glad to be graced by its presence, and even gladder to have played through two sets on it! i'd like to say though... this game is HARD . i seriously don't know how to keep up with the rhythms and the timing windows, a touch-screen keysounded rhythm game is definitely a frightful combination of words in text, and even More frightening to actually play.

short chuni set!!! a few upscores here and there... naw but seriously, these are INSANE, like SS+ on Fracture Ray and an SS on ouroboros [Master 14+]??? wahoo, +0.02 !!!

the maimai scores are spread out super far apart since most of it was just waiting in the card queue for my turn every hour or so, so i'll just bunch them up here to make the rest of the scores easier to describe... during the sets, i managed to get a super cool AA on Scarlet Police [Master 13], an S rank on Got more raves? [Expert 12+], an insane near-SSS upscore (though just barely missing an FC) on The Intense Voice of Hatsune Miku [Expert 12], a sightread FC on Haikei Doppelganger [Expert 12+], and raising my raputa [Expert 13+] up to AAA just before leaving...!

phew, okay, that's all the maimai out of the way... now it's time to showcase some of the other super cool games on display here, starting with.... EZ2AC: NIGHT TRAVELER!!! haven't played this version before, but it's definitely my favorite one of the series that i've seen... such a great aesthetic, and an incredible song selection to go along with it as well!!! definitely the peak of the latter half of the series' life... and just as hard as i remembered it, too! a bit too hard, mayhaps... but i already have EZ2ON for playing 5K only, i have to make the most of the 5K standard offered exclusively by the cab!

a very brief and spontaneous score in terms of DDR though... would've loved to get more, but i'm really not used to the pads of the X-era cab specifically... still a 980k on Glitter Flatter Scatter ain't bad at all! could def AAA this on a white cab given the chance...

and now, to conclude the scoredump... here's the last of the chuni scores i secured near the end of the session (minus one that's not really important because of the 30-image limit)!!! a near-SS on HERA [Master 14+], an SS on Oshama Scramble! (Cranky Remix) [WORLD'S END ?] of all things, a massive upscore to SS+ on DX Chouseinou Fullmetal Shoujo [Master 14] (and +0.01 PTT)... and to conclude, several unsuccessful SS+ attempts on Disruptor Array [Master 15]!!! i can feel it... it's so close, yet so far... may not be able to get it anytime soon, but i'd love to try again some other time!

BONUS: just as promised (and also just as requested by no one, really), here's a mostly-cut video of my absolutely incredible, absolutely beautiful 997k on Disruptor Array [Master 15]!!! ...you may now clap, thank you very much . after all, i sabotaged showing the EZ2AC video here just to show off my more beautiful (and blurrier + crustier) CHUNITHM AWESOME PLAY!!!

Do I play music games?

Yes actually I do. Something that surprises a lot of people is how much I do enjoy them. Whether it's on console like Hatsune Miku Project Diva and Superbeat Xonic, to arcade games like Pump it Up and DJ Max I'm there. I took a big break into music games when I was suffering a pretty rough break up at the time and they were a really good distraction from life. The community was welcome and I felt at ease to learn at my own pace. At that point I decided that it's a long term genre for me to tack and really explore.

Since then I feel that I'm quite well versed into music games a lot more than I was before due to how many is out there. While I'm currently learning about Sound Voltex and Pop n' Music currently I still go back to my games where I'm well versed in like DJ Max Technika, DDR and Superbeat Xonic.

Just an idea on how I play, I uploaded a rough run of me playing Louder for Superbeat Xonic. Interesting bit of trivia, it was also me playing in their PS4 trailer for the game. I wish I was better though.

Meet the artist embroidering Belarus's protests

New Post has been published on http://khalilhumam.com/meet-the-artist-embroidering-belaruss-protests/

Meet the artist embroidering Belarus's protests

For Rufina Bazlova, if the revolution can't be live-tweeted, it must be embroidered instead

A clash between riot police and protesters, embroidered in traditional Belarusian style by Rufina Bazlova. Image (c): Rufina Bazlova, used with permission.

At first glance, no two words may seem as far removed as protest and embroidery. But in Belarus, where the opposition is disputing Alexander Lukashenka's hold on power after the August 9 presidential election, the revolution is not being just being broadcast over social media — it's being embroidered. The official results of these presidential elections, announced on August 10, gave Lukashenka over 80 percent of the vote, while the leader of the recomposed opposition Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya gained less than 10 percent. Those results have not been accepted by Tsikhanouskaya, who decries mass electoral fraud, citing independent monitoring by activists, and demands official talks with Lukashenka. But for the government in Minsk, the elections are a done deal, and no further discussion is forthcoming. Furthermore, internet access has been cut off throughout the country since late August 9. This means that most Belarusians have great difficulty finding out about ongoing protests across the country, in which the police have used violence against protesters. Over 5,000 have been arrested and one death has been reported.

Since Lukashenka came to power in 1994, this eastern European country of nearly 10 million has never held a free and fair election. Although these protests are the largest in recent years, previous elections in Belarus have prompted similar responses, followed by crackdowns and mass arrests. Historical memory of any trace of protest is thus erased from the public consciousness.

Embroidery by Rufina Bazlova depicting a police van and a crowd of protesters. Image (c): Rufina Bazlova, used with permission.

That's why one Belarusian artist has decided to immortalise the protests of August 2020 through embroidery. Rufina Bazlova, who lives in Prague and has studied art in the Czech Republic, has chosen an idiom close to the hearts of many Belarusians: red embroidery on a white background. For many years after independence, this kind of embroidery was a key part of Belarusian folklore, used to promote the country in tourist adverts. But it also has a political connotation. During Belarus's independence after the collapse of the Russian Empire, the country used a white-red-white flag as its tricolour. It harked back to the days of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth of which Belarus was a component, but its newfound independence was short-lived: the state was reabsorbed into the Soviet Union in 1919. So when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, it once again became the flag of independent Belarus and asserted a Belarusian identity distinct from Russia. But in 1995, Lukashenka restored the green and red flag of Soviet Belarus (albeit without the hammer and sickle), thereby making the red-white-red flag a symbol of resistance to his rule. That symbolism continues to this day. It is often seen in the current protests, where it serves as a symbol of resistance to the current regime, explains Max Ščur, a Belarusian-language writer and activist who lives in Prague, the Czech capital:

What we are witnessing now in Minsk and Belarus is a democratic revolution, civic society is being born. Belarusian cultural identity is complicated, but right now it's all about democratic values and an active anti-regime position. It's a “civic”, not “ethnic” model of society in progress

Ales Plotka, a singer and civic activist from Belarus also based in Prague, agrees. However, he says that the status of the flag is somewhat ambiguous:

The white-red-white flag is a common symbol of resistance against this unfair government. It was associated with the traditional opposition in the past, and demonised by Lukashenko ideologists, but is now used country-wide by all sorts of people. There is no official ban on it, as it is really a historical flag, known for over seven centuries. Sometimes people carrying it are attacked, usually by the police. During events celebrating the anniversary of the independent Belarusan Democratic Republic [1918-1919], it was widely used, and people leaving the area were temporarily arrested for carrying it. But today, the more it is used and recognised, the less often people carrying it are attacked.

Therefore Bazlova's work has a potent political symbolism. This can be seen in her choice of events to embroider, such as the case of two DJs who hacked a pro-Lukashenka event by suddenly playing a song by the late Soviet rock musician Viktor Tsoi about the need for change, which has become something of a protest anthem used by the opposition to rally people against Lukashenka.

Bazlova, who is Belarusian but has lived in the Czech Republic since 2008, told GlobalVoices what motivates her work:

Je to jednoduché – reaguji na to, co se děje v Bělorusku. Vycházím přímo z toho, co vidím ve správach a síti telegram. Běloruský ornament je v nějakém smyslu zakódovaná historie národa. Navíc červená barva na bílém lnu je symbolem života. Jak možná víte, původní vlajka Běloruské Lidové republiky vzniklé v r. 1918 měla červený pruh na bílém pozadí. Lukašenko z nějakého důvodu se nevrátil ke kořenům a rozhodl se pro novou variantu – současnou oficiální červeno-zelenou vlajku, která však taky má na sobě tradiční běloruský ornament.

I have lived in the Czech republic for 12 years, I moved here to study in 2008, I studied illustration in Plzen and scenography in Prague. It is very simple: I am reacting to what is happening in Belarus. I find inspiration directly in what I see in the news and on Telegram channels. Belarusian ornaments are in a way a code for our national history. Traditionally, red colour on linen is a symbol of life. As you probably know, the original flag of the Democratic Republic of Belarus in 1918 has a red band on a white background. Lukashenka for some reason did not go back to the original flag and decided to go with a new version: a red-and-green flag that also incorporates traditional ornamentation on its side.

She also explains how she combines comics and embroidery into one form of expressive art:

To není moje první práce s vyprávěním příběhu prostřednictvím výšivek. Již před několika lety jsem vyšívala komiks Ženokol. Přestože taky pracuji v jiných technikách letošní národní probuzení si naprosto vyžádalo techniku lidové výšivky. Události posledních měsíců je naše velká historie, Bělorusko se změnilo, probudilo se, přicházejí velké změny které musí být zapsané do vyšívkového kódu! Mám v plánu vytvořit rozsáhlejší komiks o letošních volbach. Ale není to nejrzchlejší technika, takže to ještě nějakou dobu potrvá.

This is not my first work which focuses on telling a narrative thought the medium of embroidery. A few years ago I embroidered a comics series called Ženokol. Even though I use different artistic techniques, this year's national awakening simply demanded this technique of national embroidery. The events of the past months represent a portion of our great history, Belarus changed, woke up, big changes are coming that must be written into the code of embroidery! I am planning to create a lengthy comic about this year's [presidential] elections. But this is not the fastest technique, so this will take some time.
