#and it doesnt get easier the more you do it

real answer:

1. if your wrists hurt, stop right away and change your posture, gently stretch your wrists, change the angle of your wrists. if you use thumbs, try standing or sitting up so your elbows are in the air. you can also try laying your device down and using your index fingers instead

2. while your taps should be juuust firm enough to register in-game, you want to keep your presses light and springy to get to the next note using the momentum from the previous one. this is also a real piano technique thats good for jumping octaves

more under cut:

3. if youre using thumbs and theres one of those drumroll-like sequences, try the move where you sort of tilt your device back and forth between your hands. like instead of moving your thumbs all the way to the screen, if you tilt the device a bit then it shortens the distance your thumb needs to go to get to the screen. if you tilt it back and forth slightly, this can help you do fast drumrolls - just remember to count the beats (usually in groups of 4) so you dont press too many times

4. optional: try to play both songs at your skill level and a bit above it, not so hard that youre missing every note but maybe one or two difficulty levels above what youre used to. over a long period of time the harder songs will start making sense and the muscle memory will develop. songs may need different movements so dont feel bad if you nailed one hard song but cant play the other at all. you dont have to do this step, its mostly for training to play that one hard song that you really like

5. feel free to adjust the speed of the note prompt thingies if youre able to. slower speeds are better for slower reaction speeds but sometimes the notes can get clustered up and its hard to tell what to press first.

6. you can cheat a little bit... if theres a move you actually cant physically do, there may be a loophole in the game mechanics to keep your combo. in the game i'm playing the most (Arcaea) you dont have to lift your fingers between the colorful line notes and it doesnt matter which hand you use, left or right. sometimes when it uses the right hand color, i just ignore it and use my left hand because its closer. the long notes on the ground dont care if you switch fingers- press it, put your other finger on it also, then remove the first finger.

7. change the sound-delay setting. this is mandatory if youre using any kind of bluetooth because of the latency. a lot of rhythm games will let you add a delay between the time it plays the audio and the time it shows the notes on screen. the idea is that it sends the signal to play the notes audio first, and by the time it reaches your ears, the note will be in the middle of the screen, so you still feel like youre tapping to the beat. depending on your brain, device, os, and headphones/speakers, youll want a different number

8. do warm up/easier songs first to loosen your muscles and tendons and stuff

9. play the songs that you like :3

me: hey do you guys have any advice for this rhythm game?

someone whos played rhythm games their whole life: yeah you basically just open your third eye and ascend to the rhythm realm

me: ok cool thanks i’ll work on that

omg jay forcing you to take a dildo that is obviously to big for you 😵‍💫😵‍💫

god. yeah. and he’s so fucking good at it.

jay definitely sweet talks you the whole time too, praising you for takin’ such a big toy in your tight little pussy; presses kisses to your thighs and squeezes them lovingly. he has one of those clamp vibrators too, your clit pressed between it to draw more orgasms from you and make it easier to slide the toy inside. he loves watching you take thick toys.

he prefers knotted dildos so he can watch how your cunt gapes for him, your gasps n choked out cries of his name cause his cock to twitch, pre leaking from his slit n making a mess of his sweats, because yes. he is half dressed. he doesnt have to touch himself to cum, just wrecking you with a silicone cock is enough to have jay blowing his load.

the ring of your cream coating the knot and length of the toy make him fucking dizzy, he doesn’t know whether he wants to taste you or watch you deepthroat the toy instead.. maybe he’ll have you do it and kiss you messily afterwards, a gentle but firm hand on your jaw keeping you in place as he works his tongue inside your mouth, a mixture of drool and your cum makin’ a mess of your chins.

he doesn’t bother taking a hand off you or the dildo to stroke his cock, but when he gets too into it, jay grinds against the mattress, moaning deeply when you clench around the toy as your orgasm washes over you. he swears ‘s like he can feel how tight you’re gripping the toy and his fingers dig into your thigh as his hips stutter, his thick load seeping through and leaving a stain on his pants.

what did little baby karting marci look like/act like?

he was sooo small 🥹 little bundle of excitement!

i feel like this whole thing for him would start with his father living vicariously through him (imagine youre four years old and your dad takes you to track and you have a fun afternoon karting around and on the way home he asks you if you would wanna do this for the rest of your life and youre four years old and you really liked karting so you say yeah sure and boom. fifteen years later youre testing for a formula one car) but despite everything marci is really fond of what he has and wouldnt trade his career for anything

the type of lad that starts out one apple tall (thropies as big as him...) then grows into the lankiest dude youve ever seen. he was also a lot more energetic and excitable and expressive... pressure may have turned him inside out over the years but it didnt crush his faggish charm!

(idk if anyone wants to keep hearing my opinions on totk book stuff but-)

apparently it says that rauru DID have kids, multiple even, which yeah... is kinda necessary for zelda to even be connected to them so much so that sonia can SENSE a blood connection (which, even with all the excuses with magic, is just a little too far for me to suspend my disbelief bc its over, OVER, ten thousand years worth of generations that seperate her from them that one lil touch of the hand can sense that (feels more like an attempt to make you care about them or .. see them as zeldas "better" parents just bc they exchange a few nice words, i never got the feeling they were 'better' parents and its also kinda disrespectful to her actual parents, like sure rhoam wasnt the best but i wouldnt call rauru better just bc he was polite)- i could see maybe the light power of hylia or sth but since its the coolest dude that ever lived rauru now that had it which still doesnt make sense and makes me unreasonably annoyed and she can sense BOTH of their powers in her? nah) the fact theres NOTHING about them in the game itself is just so ... no way they planned any of this

i dont think theres anything they can do or say that wont make be believe they either

are making it up alla 'fix it in post' mentality trying to hastily explain stuff the game never bothers to do to try and appease fans or let it appear as if they thought about it at all

something went really REALLY wrong during development, which kinda seems likely given how the game turned out (im sorry i cannot let go, its not just the writing, the game design too and how little was changed in the map while being so damn expensive, i dont know how people dont feel scammed q_q)

given that they (allegedly) spent the last entire year of development on polish (where??? where????? huh??? like it would make it more understandable (EXCEPT for the price) if there was alot of trouble, which was also bc it got delayed and ... turned out like this, but they dont want to say it, especially given their reputation, with that quote i have heard way too many times 'a delayed game blah blah') i just??

are they just gonna go and do it like they did with kashiwa (kass)? "they uuuh where flying around the whole time ony cool sonau tech maschines, you just dont see or hear from them ooooorrr they were uuuuh out of the country at the time" (sending invitations to other continents to join their glorious kingdom ;) )

(bet they are also gonna say they did all the stuff like ... moving the shrines around (lol?) and lifting the islands up into the sky- which is still weird bc ... didnt they also say they were living in the sky before coming to the surface?? so where?? did they park all their islands on the surface and the mystery kids had the keys so they had to repark them back into the sky after they returned off camera?? xD also why are the islands so different as an environment if they where from the surface? like even the STONE up there is different- and if they were first in the sky then on the surface and the nback in the sky .. why is there not a single yellow tree or grass in the past- you cant really argue that it changed bc they were up there so long bc .. nothing else changed, the suddendly and totally always there sonau buildings are largely in prime condition, only some slightly moldy, and what we see of the glorious past looks barely any different from the present, aside from like ... some standard trees shuffled, no castle yet and that glowy uwu filter DESPITE that stupidly long time frame between it)

just read the new mutants issue where Charles chose to stay behind in space and my god the juxtaposition between Charles trusting Erik and Erik joining the hellfire club and wondering at his own trust worthiness. I wonder how much of Charles decision was him ultimately trying to avoid the fact that his first class had seemingly betrayed mutant kind and not be willing to face them and how much of it was Dani and Illyana's reaction to him having Karma mind control Illyana. the fact that Illyana was depending on him to ease her mind through limbo and in choosing to stay he forced karma to do it instead, probably fucking up their relationship in the process.

I love him, this is crazy, how much of this is him trying to runaway and how much is this him not trusting himself to fix things and how much is it just him trusting Erik?

i keep trying to put into words my exact thoughts about the sitch but there really is a lot for one issue aintit... oh charles you and your brain...

On top of everything, there's something about the reminder of Lisa's healing body, the woman who puts herself in physical danger without thinking. We see the lip, the knuckles, and we know this woman is potentially about to do some crazy shit for vengeance. For the guilt. For her daughter. For herself. And she's about to find out they almost killed carla too. Will her rational do it by the books brain win(we've already seen that side slowly deteriorating as this becomes more and more personal) or will lisa be going full I take responsibility and will make it my mission they never hurt anyone else, even if that means sacrificing myself. Because then...then it gets better right? Then she'll be free. Right? Then Betsy will be safe. And carla...

...... word-of-god saying that miranda sees freckles as very attractive. she's deeply into freckles. partially it might be because she's an abyssal and they look a little like her bioluminescence, partly because merfolk find striking patterns on the extremities and other particular parts of the body attractive, but mostly this is just part of her personal taste and something shes into.

its one of the things she likes very much about aaravi, and likes keeping track of where all the little freckles and dots are on her body.

hi so, checking in (sorry, its personal bullshit again, ill get back to the fandom stuff you actually wanted,,,, eventually)

things. are going bad. like, really bad, like last january bad. like im about to lose all my personhood again bad. im hoping its still just going to be a small blip and things will start upticking soon, but. im bracing for that not to be the case. it feels different to me

i vaguely mentioned earlier in the week taking a bit of a step back, and ive decided to extend that into a full break. my queues probably going to run out before im back, though i have slowed it down some. thatll be the only noticable difference for 99% of people. i wont guarantee any dm responses on here, but ill do my best for the couple of people who have me on discord

i didnt really want to do this again but it gets messy in my head, and ive found the best way to control the clawing beast of attention and need and the things that make me want to be a person i dont want to be is to cut it off at the source. its not nice, and it hurts, and it definitely kills the chances of making friends but. i promise you its better than the alternative.

ill see you when i see you, i guess. i hope its soon. i hope this isnt how it feels to be. i hope the feelings that have existed this week go dormant again. but itll be what itll be. i can't change that

also im gonna be honest, while i think rdr is a fantastic game and a well written tragedy, i really dont jive with the ultimate message of "nothing is forgiven and nothing gets forgotten". i get that at the core of thing, both John and Arthur have done some pretty heinous shit and that no amount of good deeds can make up for the lives they've taken, but so many people suffer unnecessarily, including them. the whole message of "it doesnt matter if you try" is just like... man. ok i guess.

its been a long time since i found a game that had me excited for whats to come

this is a me thing that im talking about below... usually when i play games, its mainly about it preoccupying my brian with tasks and goals. this is why i gravitate towards sim and management games! to me thats whats enjoyable

i feel like its rare that i just play something just cause its fun to me if that makes sense. and i think infinity nikki is managing to do that like im not progressing through the story super quickly and kind of just letting myself explore, dress up and take pictures at my own pace and im really hoping it stays like this for me for a long time
