“Being a gentleman has nothing to do with one's accent. Its about being at ease in one's own skin. There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man. True nobility is being superior to your former self.” -Harry Hart

Gratitude. If I can’t force in my mind, practice it. Show it to loved ones through my actions. Show it to myself by taking care of my health. Show it to those who may have hurt or wronged me through mercy. Forgive others, and forgive myself. Protect my peace. Don’t take things for granted.
Haven’t really been active but at least it’s good to know that I’m not super rusty 🙂‍↕️

Asking for a friend, what options are there for purchasing a pad? I pretty much only know of SMX, LTek, and old arcade pads. I swear I’ve seen some that looks like arcade ones somewhere…. Thanks!

Dance Gamers: when you were pushing to get more comfortable with higher level songs, was there a certain approach you took to push through hitting a wall? Was there any adjustments you made that found you success? I would love to hear about what worked and/or didn’t work for you!

Didn’t post or send before finishing sesh because I believe it’s a curse but this was my first song

Yay 🎉

PS I’m hitting a ceiling for stamina/uppers so I need to figure stuff out cause I want to eventually get to 17’s and maybe even 18’s

Last night I unintentionally learned that Rising Fire Hawk DSP & Firestorm DSP has the same amount of potential EX points (1221). Must be a fire thing 🔥

Ties with same fast/slow distribution with the homies never get old 🩵

Crazy how one person’s personality can just have an effect on you. After working with someone with an insane positive energy for just one day, I feel like I’ve gotten a second wind. I’m thankful for that experience and am looking forward to learning more from someone I already consider a mentor.

I just had the realization that without DDR, there is no ITG/PIU

Can trash it all you want but don’t forget where you came from

Pushing myself a little more towards uppers. Had a lot of close EX battles with @kcamper92.bsky.social 💪

Really fun sesh overall, glad I came out to play today 🩵

Aloha ‘Oe and much mahalos to a legend. Always made sure our stuff was working great. More importantly a cool dude and a good guy. The end of an era.

I really like this 15 + an SDP
February 14, 2025 at 9:57 AM
Hi please give me a level 14 to play my next session for DDR
February 13, 2025 at 3:52 PM
Stamina getting better. Not pictured is a set of 15’s which is good considering not too long I was struggling with 14’s. Got to play and chill with one of my good friends.

Also here’s a picture of one of my cats that was lying down in this adorable position

Did they patch the glitch where the marvelous window gets smaller once you flag a PFC run yet

Two truths and a lie:

I interviewed for a job the same day as someone else. We both got the job. I later found out he was homeless and living in his car.

I’m distantly related to Jason Momoa. Not through blood but through marriage.

I’ve worked in/on different submarines and airplanes before.

I need to say this somewhere so I have evidence when it happens: buggy is the one who will find the one piece. Or he is the one piece.

When is Japanese DDR community coming to Bluesky? I miss funny stuff like that one QRT of Chris’ popoff on PRev CSP 😂

I’m surprised there isn’t a site that catalogs all the MFC’s achieved. Went to miffhunter(dot)com and was very disappointed.

Only a few will know how much this means to me. Yes, it’s on keyboard. Yes, I’ve quadded higher level songs than this. But this was 5+ years in the making.
This song, this chart, has gotten me through so much. This is still so surreal. Music & dance games means so much to me. I damn near broke down.
