I have uploaded more than 200 #StepMania videos to my fb and I've only gotten like 5 likes total. It really sucks doing something you really love and sharing it with the world and literally no one giving a shit. I'm not gonna stop uploading but it's disheartening.

Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #51

A friend is coming over today to play Stepmania on my Frankenpad.

I'm excited about this, but also nervous. My house is a neurodivergent one, and it has 5 cats. It looks like a neurodivergent house (as in, clutter everyfuckenwhere), and it smells like there are 5 cats living here. It's not squalid or anything, but… it definitely doesn't look like one of those images you find in Home and Garden magazines.

But maybe it's not entirely necessary for my house to look like it's not inhabited by three neurodivergent people stacked in a trenchcoat trying to pass as a Functional Adult™.

This image sums up our situation nicely, although it's with three people instead of four:

It's not lost on me how lucky I am to have my husbands. I don't know what they see in me, but they keep me around anyway, even though they don't gotta. So I do what I can to deserve them both.

I feel a little better today than I did yesterday. Before bed, I rehydrated with a big glass of warm milk. Warm milk is a nice thing because it doesn't matter how awful or wired or antsy or tense I feel; 20 minutes after I'm finished drinking it, I become super sleepy, and then I'm out like a light. Works every time, for reasons I don't fully understand. Maybe if you ever have trouble sleeping, you can give it a try.

In any case. In order to prepare for today, I made myself some green tea and it was very good. And then I went to the grocery store, both to get ingredients to make pumpkin soup for the weekend (I'll write a letter about this process for you when I begin to make it, don't worry!), and to get supplies to make nachos for everybody tonight. I took a few pictures of my grocery store adventures for you; it was a lot less crowded today. Here:

This is canned pumpkin. I have to get it canned because fresh pumpkin is out of season where I live until next autumn. But that's okay; this stuff is pretty good too:

Here's some heavy cream. This is the basis for any bisque, which is what I am trying to make for my friends this weekend, because, sadly, I cannot make it for you:

And here is some cream cheese, which will also be added to the soup for extra decadence:

And here's a starfruit. Because I adulted today, and that means I deserve a little treat!

The sticker says "carambola", because it's also called that. I like "carambola" better as a word to describe this fruit; it rolls off the tongue better. Try it: "ka-RAHM-bo-la"; it's fun, isn't it?? Haha! 😁

...But then nobody knows what I'm talking about when I say "carambola", so "starfruit" is just easier if I want to be understood. 😅

Maybe it's a little weird, but… in service to the notion that you'd like a normal life, I wish I could bring you to the grocery store and show you all the things and all the best ways to pick stuff out. And I'd step up to anyone who even so much as looks at you funny for your height, build, albinism, long hair, or wing, if it's out. I'd kick them right in their stupid shins and yell at them to get lost before I get REALLY mad and introduce my knuckles to their face at an unpleasant velocity. I'm only 5'8" to your 6'7", but still I can get pretty scary when I gotta! I'd have your back, don't you worry. I'd protect you from anything. It'd be fine. You'd be safe with me; I'd make sure of it.

In any case. You remember that bison and venison I got from my last trip to the grocery? I had intended to use that for making the nachos today. I'm eager to see how it'll turn out. Oh, and I gotta grate some cheese, too; I almost forgot. Thanks for reminding me (I know you didn't really, but it's fun to pretend)! 😜

I have since cooked up the bison and venison, and grated up three different kinds of cheese. Check 'em out:

I was surprised that bison and venison taste so similar. It's almost like beef, but not really. I mixed the three different kinds of cheese into a great big bowl, so the prep work for making nachos later is complete. I already have some chopped veggies and some guacamole and something kinda like sour cream, so it's good to go!

Since writing the last paragraph, we picked up my friend and we played a lot of Stepmania on my awesome Frankenpad! I even managed to snag a video of me on it that I think isn't too terrible! Here:

Certainly, my balance and stamina aren't what they used to be; it's been a lot of years since last I used to do this with any sort of consistency. But that's okay! This was one of my favorite Expert Mode songs; the rhythm with which you're supposed to use your feet is a lot of fun for this one, and I remember when this used to be a "warm-up" tune for me, haha! I'm hoping that if I continue to do it, I'll improve again, over time.

You know? I bet you'd probably be really good at this. I imagine you must have crazy amounts of stamina, and I imagine your sense of rhythm must be impeccable. I wonder which songs you'd gravitate towards. I wish you could play together with me and my friends; I think you might have a lot of fun with it, once you get used to it, and it would be great to see you smiling and having a good time.

In any case, afterwards we ate nachos!! We filled bowls with chips, ground meat, and cheese, and then heated it up in the microwave! It's not fancy, but it's certainly effective! Check it out!

After that, you add your cold things. I had guacamole, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, and the sort-of-sour-cream. Here's what it looked like when the bowl was fully assembled:

And just like that, you add a few juicy veggies and you have a healthy bowl of awesome tastiness! Woot, woot!

We had an amazing time and lots of delightful conversation. I think you'd like this person a lot if you met her. She's very smart and she has a lot of insightful things to say. I'm looking forward to the next time I get to spend time with her.

...I wish you could have been here for any of this. I think you could feel safe and at home and cared for and like you have family at my house. After the hellish upbringing I had, I have, with help, done my best to shape myself into someone who is wholesome and safe, and to shape my home into a place that is wholesome and safe. I know that you could be welcome here. I know that with enough time and patience, you'd adjust to the peace, because you have a smart brain and a flexible mind. You could chill where the kind people and the tasty snacks and the fun things are, and you'd never have to wonder if you belong, because you would. Because you do. Because you always have, regardless of how you came into being, and regardless of what anyone else has tried to tell you. You belong, and you deserve good and wholesome things.

But I guess writing to you about it and sending you videos and pictures is the best I can do; I'm sorry about that - I really, truly am. I hope somehow that any of this might reach you and move you, but... I don't imagine that it will. But I also can't stop myself from trying against all odds anyways, for better or for worse, haha.

You can have this, you know - this simple life, and any of the lovely and good things I've been trying to show you (and will keep trying to show you). All you have to do is make a different choice. All you have to do is take the hands outstretched to you. All you have to do is open your ears and your mind to the kind words being spoken towards you. All you have to do is turn your face back to the light. I'll be over here until you do, singing a little song for you, and weaving a little handicraft, as I always do.

So... please stay safe until you're ready, okay? Please remember that you're loved and cared for. Please make good, kind, and brave choices.

I'll write to you again tomorrow.

Your friend, Lumine

StepMania 5/DDR XX ~STARLiGHT~: ELECTRICAL PARADE (Retro Future MIX) (CUSTOM CHART) + new cut-ins

[picanogfx]

Blobular

I may or may not have started this Saturday night after spending the majority of the week learning how to add custom characters to Stepmania 5.

[aeondeug]

adjusted the input lag by setting it to +5. this has helped a lot with melody of memory's game feel. the note reading is still just. i dunno. it doesn't read as clearly as something like ddr, theatrhythm or beatmania. and performer mode just isn't very fun. its overcomplicated the control scheme with notes that it does not provide timing help for. in a game where i already find the readability of notes to be somewhat problematic.

i do think i'll grab it at some point but only if i can find a used copy for 20 dollars or less. i honestly do not think it is worth more for the song list it has. not like this. it's not a bad rhythm game. i do think it is a fun game and i am liking it. it's just not as good as i wanted it to be. i am happy i gave it another shot after adjusting the lag settings. but like. man. MAN. i'll just stick kh charts into stepmania.

[spacedustpan]

As always, I beg that you check out this man's content.

StepMania 5

Playtest!! 

StepMania 5

StepMania is a cross-platform rhythm video game and engine. It was originally developed as a simulator of Konami's arcade game series Dance Dance Revolution, and has since evolved into an extensible rhythm game engine capable of supporting a variety of rhythm-based game types. Released under the MIT License, StepMania is open source free software.

Several video game series, including In the Groove and Pump It Up Pro use StepMania as their game engine. StepMania was included in a video game exhibition at New York's Museum of the Moving Image in 2005.

Bakit namin pinili ang larong ito?

Una bukod sa kakaiba ito kumpara sa mga nilalaro ng mga kabataan ngayon masisiyahan ba kami kahit alam namin na luma na itong larong ito?

Pangalawa mahilig kami sa Music

pangatlo pagnilaro ba namin magsasawa ba kami agad o uulit-ulitin namin ito?

GUI

Hindi sya kagandahan dahil sa luma na yung game at akma naman sya sa tema ng laro dahil arcade game lang naman ito

Smooth naman laruin at walang delay kahit mababa ang specs ng laptop na gamit ko

At halata sa GUI na luma na sya at pang arcade lang.

Overview

Madaling laruin kaso mahirap gumaling sa larong to, kailangan mabilis ang reflex ng diliri dito syempreMas maganda pag multiplayer para may kaasaran ka kapag naglalaro kagaya ng kalaro ko na si marj na laging talo,at saka maganda sa mata kapag tinataman mo yung mga nota or step sa stepmania. Hindi ako nabored kasi may kalaro ako, siguro kahit single player lang mag-eenjoy parin ako sa laro. Lalo na pwede mo syang dagdagan ng kanta.

Ryuji and Dance Dance Revolution

This idea was so captivating, I have to go into it. Thank you @samarecharm

Sees this new machine at the arcade and wonders what it is. Sometimes people go to it, play a few songs on beginner, do terribly, laugh, and quit.

Suddenly, the hardcore, pro-as-fuck people come in.

RYUJI IS ENTRANCED.

Cannot get over the speed, coordination, stamina, and balance these people have.

Gives it a shot one day.

Skips beginner, goes straight for light.

Takes a few trips, but he starts to get a handle on light difficulty.

Decides to switch to standard once he starts getting AAs.

Standard comes to him easily.

His injury does hurt at times during play, but he pushes through regardless.

Decides to delve into heavy a week and a half after starting standard.

BOY JUST GETS IT.

Loves ALL the fast songs!!!

190 BPM and up baby!!

Has done all the Paranoia's, Maxx's, Trip Machine's, and will throw down on Sakura any day of the week.

Plays Healing Vision Angelic Mix each time he's at the machine.

Wishes there was more rock, but enjoys Naoki songs.

DYNAMITE RAVE GIVES HIM LIFE. HE CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.

"I DON'T WANNA GIVE UP. IF YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A PARTY, HAVE A REALLY GREAT ONE! YEAH YEAH! FEEL THE BEAT!"

Loves crossovers.

Will do Sunkiss Drop anytime. He doesn't like the song, but its crossover heaven.

Has a love/hate thing for Jun songs because he loves the speed but dislikes the songs themselves.

Plays on x3 speed. EVEN ON SAKURA. RYUJI IS FAST.

Is considering playing the arrows in reverse.

DOES NOT LIKE JUMP CHARTS.

"No way man. Jumpin' and runnin' are different."

Enters some competitions, wins some and loses some. Has a great time no matter what.

Futaba tells him about Stepmania (of course she's played Stepmania and is a keyboard playing pro) and he's determined to have a set up when living on his own one day.
