DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION MAX 6TH MIX. ORDINARY WORLD. An old classic originally in 6th mix and lasting until DDR EXTREME, this one was notorious for its improperly quantized green notes, but it's still a fun one to play nonetheless as everything else is on spot. youtu.be/-dbIYipiI74

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION MAX 6TH MIX and SuperNOVA. GROOVE. GROOVE 2001. SATURDAY NIGHT LOVE. A tribute to Brenda Vaughn and all three of the songs her vocals graced in the DDR series of games. And also my excuse to actually draw her. She's not the only one drawn either. youtu.be/wyDAibTFxNo

STEPMANIAX. LET'S REMEMBER. NEVER ENDING STORY. ONLY YOU. EVERYBODY DANCE (SCORCCIO HOT MIX). The ONE cab that I DO know of around here these days within 10 minutes of the house. But yeah, the first two are brand new APCs which I"m very happy to have got on video! youtu.be/eh6VQ4jCvy8

Got a new video coming soon with some new records, from NOT DDR. You’ll see what I mean…

I see a certain “leader” is the most insecure POS I’ve ever witnessed in my lifetime. Like tell me you really got Black envy without telling me you got Black envy. Just unhinged ass mess.

Pragmata based on what I’ve seen of it on multiple systems seems to have 4 base configurations. “Graphics” and “Balanced” on Series X/PS5. Performance Switch 2 and Performance Series S. With the Series S running better but with worse textures and no upscaling worth a damn. What in the world…

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION 2010. DANCING IN THE STREET. CELEBRATION. WE ARE FAMILY. First thing to say here is, happy Black History Month! To those in the fam, this is for us. All three of these are classics and I wanted to start with some AAAs in appreciation to the legends youtu.be/d3qeXXTAu94

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION (2010). SO FINE. LOVE LIKE THIS. BATTLEFIELD. The start of my revisiting and exploration of 2010's release. This was the "rebrand" at least in the US after Just Dance ate 2010's entire lunch and dinner. youtu.be/V0tvZy4Ajec

So come to find out after all Dispatch on Switch 2 was ACTUALLY Ad-Hoc's fault. And now they're claiming they can't even do a fixed physical game because of how they approached this shit. Way to just completely TANK your game AND reputation on a platform they could've otherwise done well on.

Look what old fossil scores I found in my albums. And these are from the real DDR A cab back in 2018 too! Looking back at this makes me want to go back and try to beat these now! It also shows me how accurate I got the timing windows now, because this is more or less what I pull off these days.

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION 2ND MIX LINK VERSION/ULTRAMIX 2. MAKE A JAM! MAKE A JAM! (DUB/HOUSE). You read that right, "The Road To MFC..." This was one of my new years DDR resolutions and we're gonna go after it!! Starting with 5p on MAKE A JAM!, down from 9 in the arcade! youtu.be/gyUX1q5I7TM

So close one can taste it…. And it’s always little shit too. Lol scores.stepmaniax.com/3965757

Well damn if this isn’t the old results screen music to ITG. And also SIGHTREAD APC!!!

Even more. If you play in handheld, I HIGHLY recommend “balanced” mode and let that VRR do the talking.

GRID Legends, on Switch 2. Unbelievable conversion! Feral really nailed

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION X3 VS. 2ND MIX. IF YOU WERE HERE. Real talk, I had no expectations going into this yet I ended up banging this one out! I've gotten this on Judge 4, but never could get it on anything harder than that until now. youtu.be/9eEmL-viRSY

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION X. BOYS (2008 X-EDIT). BUTTERFLY (2008 X-EDIT). GET UP N' MOVE (2008 X-EDIT). DUB-I-DUB(2008 X-EDIT). HERO (TECHNICALLY the 2008 X-EDIT) The great revival of 1st and 2nd mix Dancemania classics we all know and love! youtu.be/yplezhMVJuY

Some solid shit happened on DDR tonight, so in addition to the upcoming video I'll share the "solid shit that happened". I'm proud of it dammit, that was a 14! First PFC of its type under the current timing window regime!

Oh I GET why they do stuff like this and it’s largely EGO based. And I also sense another type of animosity in this too given who the OP of that thread is. Don’t make me spell it out…

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION HOTTEST PARTY 2/A3. WE CAN WIN THE FIGHT. I know they were digging in the Hottest Party series well as of late, but didn't think they'd pull this one before REACH THE SKY. The new chart is a hell of a lot better though, that OG one was hella jumpy. youtu.be/LgqW4-4XNDI

DANCING STAGE MAX. MIXED UP WORLD. THIS IS THE WORLD WE LIVE IN. DIP IT LOW. I know quite a few of the hardcore fans would hate the EU Dancing Stage games, but I was one of the ones in the US lowkey looking forward to what would come to them. And songs like this was why. youtu.be/4ZeDVfdMQTA

Now THIS was a very interesting find at the local 2nd and Charles. I had the US version for a long time, but the JP version of it is what I found and acquired for relatively cheap. Too bad I can’t play it. Lol

DANCING STAGE FUSION and DANCING STAGE UNLEASHED 3. SUPERSTAR. DJ. Now and then I find myself going back to both of these songs regardless of score one, because I stan a queen. And two, both these songs are bops and hit different kinds of vibes. youtu.be/DWSHsfDZ31k

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION X featuring HOTTEST PARTY and HOTTEST PARTY 2. WILL. LOVING YOU(EPIDEMIK REMIX). BEAUTIFUL INSIDE (CUBE::HARD MIX). INTO YOUR HEART (RUFFAGE REMIX). SUPER SAMURAI. The GRAND debut of the Wii DDR songs in the main arcade releases! youtu.be/ChstNNAeUI4

I feel like I can say this without being judged now but joy-cons kinda underrated for shmups 🫣

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION X. SWINGIN'. PUT 'EM UP. U CAN'T TOUCH THIS. Another three I used to play pretty regularly in arcades and on the home. Though I always thought seeing MC Hammer in DDR made me feel old back then. And then X2 followed up with Vanilla Ice? C'mon now!!! youtu.be/6sR7dAVS1YI

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION X. HERE WE GO. WINE RED(TOMMIE SUNSHINE'S BROOKLYN FIRE RETOUCH). OPEN. SOUND OF FREEDOM. These were 4 of the only 6 songs from the CS release that didn't make it to the arcade cabs. And they were all bangers too. I missed them a lot back then. youtu.be/OjfO3jDGxts

A preview for a video coming soon. Yep, we eventually GOTTA talk about DDRX AC and how it was the beginning of the arcade merger with the sister HOTTEST PARTY series on the Wii. Make NO mistake, when I saw Rage and Jenny kneeled down like the ending of the choreography of WILL I went CRAZY!!!

With both of those vintage recordings, I DO plan to eventually re-run those on the current setup. Should be VERY interesting IMO. And I sincerely HOPE that I pull off LESS than 69 perfects on 99 RED BALLOONS. LOL

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION HOTTEST PARTY. 99 RED BALLOONS. One of my favorite charts of this game and also HANDS DOWN THE BEST DANCE ROUTINE! Actually went on to FEC this on an ITG r21 cab in a rather UNBELIEVABLY GOOD run that I wish I could've recorded then. youtu.be/nnxQ6QRVlxE?...

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION HOTTEST PARTY. TOO LITTLE TOO LATE. This was one of my "vintage" video records WAAY back in the day when this game was about two or three years out. 1x. No bar. On a soft mat that moved around. On a TINY ass monitor. On FORCED VIVID. YIKES!!! youtu.be/P6sxfgSTPRw?...

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION X. WE'VE GOT TO MAKE IT TONIGHT. HAPPY. GHETTO BLASTA DELUXE. Also known as, 'What if the Japanese branch of Konami was tasked with making an ULTRAMIX". Seriously though, even if it feels like that, it still somehow has their unique flavor to it. youtu.be/iLNfK3-JEAU

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION ULTRAMIX 2. DON'T STOP. Very unique DDR pick that definitely fits the kind of vibe the ULTRAMIX series was going for starting with 2. Both musically, and chart wise. This took me a few tries under the current tighter timing windows. youtu.be/LUECkXv23kU?...

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION WORLD challenge charts. CAN BE REAL. HIGHER. INSIDE YOUR HEART. I don't care what changed with CAN BE REAL, y'all ain't doing me dirty like THAT. Almost had it on sightread, but well... you'll see... HIGHER was a sightread win. youtu.be/Bsjx_iXr3qE?...

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION X/ULTRAMIX 4/UNIVERSE 2. WE COME ALIVE. REACH UP. LOVE IN MOTION. I CAN FEEL IT. Two most will be familiar with, and two more obscure selections round out this run. This might be one of the best videos in a while for score. youtu.be/XepGWIC7ULY?...

That new chart for INSIDE YOUR HEART took a shocking amount of attempts to PFC. And even then that perfect count felt like it should've been better.

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION VARIOUS RELEASES. THE KUNG FU FIGHTING DDR LEGACY COLLECTION. This one song in all its variations, including the original has NEVER actually been in ANY US release. The closest thing to the West the song ever saw was the OG's inclusion in DS MAX. youtu.be/xaufLbZnshw?...

FLOOR FILLER DIAMOND DISCO, run it back! TALKING TO YOURSELF, by Carly Rae Jepsen. For whatever reason, this song got stuck in my head and I would tap it out at random and came up with a way to nail the stops. So this run was simply to give it another go with arcade timing

I am done talking about video games to people IRL because it seems like the moment you bring up real tangible facts and the bigger picture behind things folks get way too much into their feelings. The “X” bug exists in the real world quite a bit and it has me worried for folks to be real with you.

So, from what I understand on X now you can use Grok to edit ANY image, art or otherwise, of your choosing, no matter who you are. Legalities and ethics notwithstanding, what in the flying fuck is wrong with people to where they’ll continue to use that hell site and not bat an eye?

Well yesterday was the Monday to end ALL Mondays…. Jesus man, I was hoping it honestly didn’t end like this…

I get the sneaking suspicion gamers don’t realize how much this economic landscape is affecting EVERYTHING and how much it’ll continue to affect EVERYTHING and EVERYONE.

Oh yeah, and this one too…

So while the gaming sphere seems to be wanting to argue about what dynamic resolution or “P” something is running, I decided real life in “infinite P” is more interesting to work with…. Did this one while at work.

This video gaming FOMO some of y’all keep giving yourselves with system discussion, resolution pixel peeping, and such is gonna make it so NOTHING can make you happy with any game no matter what it does. It’s made gaming discourse an absolute joke.

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION HOTTEST PARTY 3. NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP. MY PREROGATIVE. ENJOY THE SILENCE. Class of 87, 88, and 90 in that order! And yes, we were gonna have to visit that meme worthy song eventually! Got MY PREROGATIVE under 10 Perfects so I'm good with it! youtu.be/E5MnHFEzvd8?...

ALIEN SIX SELECTIONS. FREAKY FRIDAY. ASTRONAUT IN THE OCEAN. THIS IS AMERICA. Got REALLY close to a PFC on the first, got ripped apart on the last two. Always fun to mess around with stuff like this, especially knowing that NONE of these have a chance in an actual game... youtu.be/6XpmS85Wo4A

Well, not too bad a time for the first run. Wonder if I can get this to 10 hours the next time. That said, I’m scared about hard mode. lol

Mini rant, but I’m SO frustrated with life at the moment. Just feels bad atm.

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION WORLD. FUNK BOOGIE. WILD RUSH. KAGEROW. GAMELAN DE COUPLE. All of these runs are the new charts recently released, and only one is a PFC for what should be the obvious reason. Holy hell if it wasn't my muscle memory giving me problems, its my tech... youtu.be/-0Zp5Q4DdyQ
