Today is actually my 1-year streamiversary and I have absolutely no energy to celebrate. Maybe Thursday or Friday. I wore the wrong shoes to walk this morning not thinking about it and now my feet don’t wanna go brrr.

EA shutting down BioWare and then hours later calling DICE to the bed for a new project is just another major gash on their rep that will never heal. Modern and future gaming seems very bleak right now.

It’s not my goal to make streaming my day job. But it is a huge morale boost for me to be social with people while I am online because I’m alone too much, and it can suck. So I genuinely wanna know. What can I do to do better about streams and content? [1/3]

I play StepManiaX because it’s my main game and only officially owned arcade game that isn’t an official ROM, I play fighting games, but I am not esports level and don’t have that drive. I enjoy IIDX and DJMAX, but I’m not good about chart analysis. I love retro games! [2/3]

I’d also like to do some streams or videos where I try to get some podcast experience to help with my talking, especially to help with my commentary skills. And I would really like to learn more and grow for that. [3/3]

The DDR pack on IIDX INFINITAS is quite fun!! I also did get the Assist Clear on Deep tenDon Reflex SPA, but I want to aim for the Clear or Easy Clear before I get too happy. Got a 78%. The other 12s wrecked me.

I’m going to commit to finishing CT on stream. But I’m going to think long and hard before playing anything new that isn’t a rhythm or fighting game for a while.

I’m sick of canceling stream plans. I have to do so again. Winds from the storm have started and I don’t want a bunch of stuff on if the power starts flickering. Getting really down about having to pull back from something I enjoy and helps break the isolation.

I was gonna stream more Chrono Trigger tonight, but I’m gonna wait until tomorrow. I’ve been having to rest not just from the shots but my back also flared during a jog attempt yesterday. Just stretching and resting tonight.

I have FINALLY finished cross-checking my IIDX Solid State Squad stats with my spreadsheet! Someone please talk me out of adding all of INFINITAS and ZINRAI to a new sheet. 😅 When does chasing a rhythm game goal become overkill?

Since I’m done with tournaments for a few months at best, I wanna get back to pushing hard for my goal of 2500 SMX APCs, with 250 of them being on Wild! The last update got me to 2418 and 180 respectively, so I really need to lock in on some lower Wild charts now.

Finally feeling rested and recovered from Redshift! I wanna try to get back to APC grinding this weekend, but we’ll see. Weather is supposed to be a little soggy. Also, Extreme Pro VODs are now on my Twitch. Trying to export to YT, but Day 1 gauntlet be sluggish

I’m home from Redshift! Took the time to do a write-up while I’m readjusting to my own time zone again. lol. TLDR; thank you again to everyone for participating and helping out! Thank you especially to Red Note for allowing me to run a DDR Extreme event!

All of default ZINRAI SPH EXHC’d!! The Soflan charts were a little grueling, and I have to remember the 1P start button is further from the TT on cabs. 😆 A great session so far! Will try to get through some SPA-11s before the day ends.

Im actually glad Perfects aren’t a thing in IIDX Infinitas, but, this would either be my first or second Level 10 Perfect!! Dirty one at that, though. Also got the HC lamp on the EFGH folder on SPH!

Finished the new Dungeon Fighter DLC pack for DJMAX Respect V on 4B! Some solid SC charts in this one! Also got about 50 points closer to the next class rank even though I don’t wanna push any further. But yay points!!

Someone told me this morning what the 8th Dan set was for ZINRAI and I’m lucky to have all the songs on Infinitas, so I went practice them. Next Thursday needs to get here!!
