October 27th & 28th, 2021 - Taiko, PIU M

due to not having anything better to do, i started playing web taiko on my school laptop (thank God it was unblocked) and got some actual good stuff despite the low quality!!! saitama 2000 on hard FC'ed TWICE, a 10 OK FC on Verflucht Normal (i'm too bad at reading for the higher diffs), an FC on IN THE ZONE HARD!!! (a beast of a chart yet a super fun one)

also PIU M scores!!! it's just the same chart twice, but both were SS ranks with increasingly good accuracy!!

January 26th, 2024 - SDVX EG, Taiko, PIU PHOENIX, DDR A3, Music Diver

met up with the same friend again today and had a MASSIVE insanely good session as opposed to last time. we got to explore a lot more than just piu and i introduced her to sdvx! (finally got a clear after a crash on 2 MINUTES FIGHTERS EXH HELLYEAH)

insanely competitive (but insanely brief) arcade taiko matchup with a very undersensitive drum on my side...

and then surprisingly only 2 sets (i think?) of piu where i got a sick SSS+ and EXTREME GAME on Vector S18!!!

similarly we did 2 battle sets of music diver. i was reluctant to play it since i hadn't played it in a really long while and couldn't remember whether pink/blue were the drum/screen... but after figuring it out in the first 10 seconds of a song, i kicked total ASS!! CHECK OUT THIS PUPA SCORE!!! GOD I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH, it definitely feels like the ideal rhythm game i like imagining in my head.

and finally, i ended my own session with some DDR A3 after friend had to go, but i got some neat scores and even did a weekly challenge set thing for Team Heron! (i couldn't join the team since i still can't travel everywhere for ddr tourneys, but i contributed in my own way i guess !) (first set pictured was an unfortunate set where i still had dot arrows accidentally active from way back when i played with CHI XU)

January 19th, 2024 - Taiko, DaR, PIU Phoenix, vivid/stasis

good donderful morning!! finally had time to set up rhythm connect on my phone (the line login was blocking me from doing it the whole time), and got a donderful combo on my first tutorial song!!! (granted i couldn't go any higher than normal, but i was sweatin halfway through)

speaking of vertical games and vertical scores though, i (reluctantly) met up with a friend at round 1 to play pump, though i was too tired to really dedicate myself to it... but i re-EXC'ed daisuke on dance around in one try!

as for the pump scores, here they are! session got crashed by vincent and we ended up just playing co-op, so my friend and i were kinda cheated out of a proper session (though we did do a really fun co-op chart together! and i guess i got a new S20 after everyone left...)

a panic rush ensued when it was time to go and i still had to qualify for the v/s tournament. i was studying quasar on my phone but couldn't put it into practice until i got home, where i ALSO needed to retrain my memory on the other qualifier songs including candy cracker (which i somehow hadn't played at all until that night). i was confident i had enough time to set my best run possible especially with that BADSECRET MAX (video below), buuut i found out that night that the qualifiers were set to close 10 hours earlier than scheduled Just Cuz':tm:. i had to rush with a ton of nerves because i didn't know if i'd make it in time, but i eventually did set a score just in time! only... i didn't record it. so i had to reattempt it, sacrificing my candy cracker MAX, and got an even lower socre. but whatever, i did what i could, and i started uploading the youtube video and submitting the form at the same time.

somehow, apparently i submitted at the very last second and got through by an inch, which I wasn't even relieved to hear. i got 12th overall and was a little disappointed with my result, but even more disappointed with the TO for making such an abrupt change in the last day when i literally didn't have more time to practice back at home without sacrificing stuff like school. vented a bit in another server about the whole thing but went to sleep with to drive away the thoughts, even though they persisted the next day.

BONUS: reaction to my BADSECRET Encore MAX, 13 MAX #3! (13 MAX #4 being Candy@-Cracker later in the qualifiers)

April 29th, 2023 - DDR A3, SDVX EG, DaR, Taiko

ROUND 1 DAY AGAINNNN

hold these scores for me real quick please?

ok cool awesome. ANYWAYSSSS i went at the same time as bomber (formerly element) to play sdvx and we did a megamix battle where i got ANNIHILATED for daring to pick exhaust when i had no such chart knowledge

but i kept playing casually after that and, again, got decent scores out of it! but by GOD this season 3 results screen UI looks so ugly i'm so glad they reverted it (DaR jumpscare too) (doing a collab with a friend across the country!!)

tons of players were visiting from canada so i kinda just took turns with them, except i got the stage all to myself to clear 10th dan and somehow... I DID IT IN FRONT OF THEM ALL!!! was extremely close to dying on pararevo CSP-19 and yet i pushed through with the little stamina left in my little legs

2 greats on firestorm btw??? new highest 16??? no idea how yet not sure if i can close it out...

also after Ages and Ages, i Finally opened up Rhythm Festival (NS2) and played a teensy bit of vocaloido

(there's a KING score as well but oops! looks like i hit my daily image upload limit, so that'll have to wait until the next day...)

update: image upload limit is gone, so the score i was talking about has been added!!

December 12th, 2022 - Taiko, ProSeka

my monitor arrived in time for the holidays, but the actual PC would take a while longer, so I used it to play splatoon AND taiko without lag!!

did some more proseka'ing as well namely FC'ing Gimme x Gimme on both EN and JP, + getting Kaiden 10 on JP! (but alas, it's not EN)

massive AP marathon today with one goal in mind...

just one more...

aaaand after a failed attempt...

it happened!!! Cutlery Master AP #30 (on EN) to get Madder Skillz 1!!!

really wanted a new PC for my birthday, so i went to Best Buy and tested the computers by... playing web taiko on them (it works very well trust me)

then tried desperately at home to FC senbonzakura! (didn't work out, but i did get surprisingly close)
