We reached Mew!
This was great fun to just play through without having to worry about physically exerting myself or any other nonsense. What an enjoyable experience.
I hope to go back and snap ‘em all one day but for now we’re moving onward and into a blind playthrough of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time!
I’ve never played it before so I will be learning how to do everything first hand instead of translating prior knowledge to dance pad output! I’m in for a bumpy ride!

The Big Question…
Is Andross beatable?
Based on my first-hand experiences I’m gonna say no.
I’m gonna put a pin in this for a little while and maybe play it off-stream a bit to see if progress can be made but this one boss prevents me from hitting any of its vulnerable parts without taking serious damage in the process.
Don’t think of this as me quitting, though!

Played a bunch of DDR and PIU over the weekend with my family in Illinois! :) I asked my sister to film one of my songs so I could look at my foot placement and overall form since I’ve been inactive for so long. I definitely need to work on just tightening up my movement in general, but my back arrow is actually pretty bad… Still had a lot of fun at Star Worlds and Round 1 though! And I can pass Pump it Up 6′s and some 7′s now :P
For the few who follow this blog and care – I’ve decided to semi-retire from dance games, at least at home. This is partially due to my move to an apartment complex, where I feel inconsiderate playing loudly, even on the ground floor. Mostly though, I’ve been frustrated with my pad’s limitations. Playing 14+ songs in the long term just isn’t a good idea for me; I have to press the arrows too hard to trigger them on the Cobalt Flux, hurting my ankles after just a few songs. I could just play FA, but I don’t get the same enjoyment without challenging myself.
I had a good run though. Stepmania helped me get the healthiest and most fit I’ve been in my life, at a time where I was unemployed and my morale was low. Now that it’s summer, I’ll be doing a lot more running and biking, and can hopefully get to the arcades sometime. I hope DDR A does well at the Dave & Busters test locations so one can eventually come to Minnesota!
This was the last song I played after over 2 hours of Stepmania on Wednesday… It took everything out of me but I somehow managed this FC with only 3 greats! I think my tendinitis is back though :(
I’ve seen an insane jump in my footspeed since I started running & biking more this summer! Now if only my pad wasn’t so finicky–I swear I spend ½ as much time re-taping pennies and cleaning the pad as I actually do playing…
New 14! I have a video but Twitch muted half of the audio on the vod.
Also the most boring 13 chart ever made–5 minutes of constant streaming. At least it was a good workout ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sightread FC; reading and footspeed are getting a bit better still
Weebsongz. Another 14 I passed. 193 BPM x_x
Saw a 95.8 high score and had to try for the 96+ star
I can’t play as long with no shoes, but it sure is a lot easier to hit those extended streams
Took a long break for a variety of reasons: work, nice weather, running, and the Cobalt Flux misfiring was pissing me off. Luckily I got everything sorted out; pad sensitivity is better now and I’m playing with shoe inserts inside my socks instead of shoes
Both technique and pad sensitivity are still shaky at best, but I’ll take it :o
