Today, I made a dent the following Emerald goals: - All 17s above 955 - All 18s above 850

After almost 2 years, I have completed SP WORLD. Can't really thank enough people for inspiring or cheering me on in so many different ways. It's meant enough for me to push at least this far. What's next?

🔥 89.952 The end is in sight.

Sun: 🔥89.880 After today's session, an 8 and 0 traded places. 5 songs remaining.

Fri/Sat: 🔥89.808

🔥 89760 I need to EX 10 more 17s. There is no way I'll be eating those words.

🔥 89664 The last IX pushed out of the flare pool, and a mindboggling GFC+EX on Trip Evo...

GLITTER

🔥 89634 No more 15s left in the flare pool!

💀💀💀

ITS FUCKING OVER EVERYONE, 16 PFC #1! IN THE PAST 51p! AFTER 11 FLAGS, 157 AAAs, AND A 18 AAA, WE FINALLY BROKE THE CURSE! SHOUTOUT TO EVERYONE THAT TOLD ME TO NEVER GIVE UP! I CAN FINALLY RETIRE FROM DDR NOW AND GET A NEW HOBBY /j

Capped off the month of March with my first 17 PFC. 2.5 years since the "modern DDR" grind began in earnest. This chart was not on my radar at all until deciding to try for EX that day. I didn't even know I was on pace until the last freeze ended. That's how drained I was.

Stepping on my friends today and tomorrow. 🦶 @kitsunny.bsky.social from PA is here, along with @owenxox.bsky.social and @hopecaster.bsky.social! Please stop in and make requests! 🙏 twitch.tv/radipon

😎 #125

After almost 18 months, I have perfectly completed the CHAOS Expert duo: CHAOS Expert ESP-14 (Oct 20, 2024) CHAOS Terror-Tech Mix ESP-15 (Mar 15, 2026)

Raised my Level 12 ceiling to 1p. Something I am never doing again.

Just finished recovering from a chest cold in February that left me with a lingering cough/congestion for 2 weeks. Only to come down with a new head cold within the following days that has me coughing up new stuff. That 1:1 on "months":"being sick" needed to be maintained I guess.

Good news is the boiler still works after giving the controller a hard reset. Bad news is it's over 30 years old and needs to be replaced before something irreplaceable breaks.

I gave up on DGEF26 due to being inundated in draining physical labour on top of being sick for a week. But on the very last day of the month, our bath's hot water handle fell right off the pipe, and the flooding took out our heat. The month couldn't just end. It had to fuck with me one more time.

What a fucking night 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 MFC#1 holy shit

2025 DDR saw the completion of so many milestones that I'm struggling to fully account for them. - LIFE4 Amethyst II - PFC counts for 13, 14, and 15 SP - 16/17 Scorez! But especially, all the connections new and old inspiring me to pull it all off. Thank You Happy New Year🎊

To celebrate my 41st birthday (in JP time), I played MAX 300 expert 41 consecutive times in one session. It was the second largest contiguous session played all year, done on the back of a workday. I'm especially happy with the consistency of performance. Am I really 41?

As of yesterday, Flare SP 89k! How much farther can I push it before the year ends? I need 17s if I'm aiming for WORLD, but pushing the remaining 15s is a reasonable stepping stone.

IT FINALLY HAPPENED! Long overdue imo!

All the last few months' maniacal grinding of PFCs and AAAs finally caught up. Under new rules I qualified for 4 substitutions to promote 2 tiers. Thanks to everyone who has been supporting me! There are too many to list here but you know who you are. 🦞

I am the criteria. So it seems.

[DDR WORLD] メンタンピンドラドラ ESP-16 GFC+EX 996,230 Thank you @sveta.club for the request! Here are the updated results of several months in the "hyperbolic turn chamber". (Recorded 10-27 at Round1.MEM)

I got what?

There are too many people photos to manage reasonably, so instead here's the swag from my MotL6 trip. Thank you to everyone I met for putting up with my awkward yapping. Thank you to @ranatalus.ddrextre.me and @ohioddr.com staff for inspiring me to do better in many ways. Bigger post later, cya!

I've arrived safely in Mentor, Ohio. Weather conditions inside Round1 GLM are good. Game availability was limited due to ongoing tournament setup, but I got to run a set with one of my best rivals.

Most recent entry in the chronical of grinding 17s, recorded on 8-15. Cross-posting since I haven't done anything else in the folder since. 17AAA #32 (of 40).

Despite crushing Summer heat, the last few months have been a ride: - AAA+GFC'ing a 17 that I'd spent months pursuing as a novelty - Closed a year+ standing 16 flag - Discovered a rival that has inspired me in unexpected ways

Dear Diary, Here are eleven 17s I got over the past month. Only 10 more for an Amethyst substitution.

It's LoM o'clock! DDR WORLD @ R1 MEM: twitch.tv/radipon

Reading comprehension is valuable. Take it from me.

I did not expect to do as well as I did with this, let alone run it back and do even better. For context, my prior scores on at least 2 of these were AA range.

Amethyst prog (of 17 AAA)

Keeping up with folder percentages.

Amethyst by 2030 for sure

Day 1 of the "don't look like a psychopath" challenge

MAX 300-24

These failed to send yesterday

Possibly my best run until kids proceeded to be in my personal space for the next two sets.

Hit a new 17 ceiling while working on TBD qualifiers. Going to run the full set later this week after some study.

Pluto the first is all that remains for level 14 GFC sweep

4 songs left for level 14 green: awaodori, pluto the first, Tohoku evolved, and blake?

Legs still feeling like lead from #DGEF25. But the need to step compelled me anyway.

Regular scheduled pain: www.youtube.com/live/I3vt4Qt...

##DGEF25 Day 28: ✅ 2355/1200kcal ✅ 17 or higher completed: A-Z up to ele creation Attempted running the 17 folder from A-Z. Made it to elemental creation before shoulders began screaming.
