Currently trying to get through FFXVI, but there are times it feels like a slog. Am in the midst of one if these low points right now.

As for what I’ll be playing, my StepmaniaX compact machine shows up tomorrow, so I’ll have that to assemble and play.

Or he was smart and got his tubes tied.

If you have fiber, 99% of the time your speeds are symmetric.

This is in the Memmy app, not for Lemmy as a whole. Mainly asking for client-side filtering of instances.

Considering they’re basically doing that with their Chromebox line, it is not that big of a surprise.

You might want to check Zenius-i-Vanisher's arcade map to see if anyone has a StepmaniaX cabinet near you! Its made by the same people as the old In The Groove and there are a number of revivals within this new game.

Stepmania will work well on the Steam Deck! I've used both ITGMania and Project Outfox on it without issues. See my giant comment on this thread for links and other information.

The easiest way to get started with DDR at home is to download Stepmania on your computer, then plug in a dance pad to your computer. Here are some simplified instructions on how to get started:

Step 1. Get Stepmania

Stepmania is a free DDR simulator.

There are two main forks of Stepmania:

• ITGMania
  • Is the recommended one from me as it comes with the Simply Love theme right out of the box along with some other nice features such as the ability to upload scores to GrooveStats
• Project Outfox
  • Does a lot more than just DDR-esque charts

After that, you have to download the songs for it. You can do that from a site called zenius-i-vanisher:

• Browse all song packs from official DanceDanceRevolution releases
• DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME song pack
• DanceDanceRevolution A20PLUS song pack

• There are also a lot of custom charts for Stepmania as well! Here is the main thread from FlashFlashRevolution's forum compiling a lot of the major songpacks.

Once you've downloaded the songs you want, here are brief instructions on how to add the songs to Stepmania. For other Stepmania-related questions, visit the Stepmania subreddit. (There isn't a good/active Fediverse community yet.)

Step 2. Buy a dance pad

Comprehensive pad buying guide

The above link is a detailed guide which reviews the most popular options for buying a home pad.

The summary is:

• If your budget is < $100 or you're just starting out - Buy a soft pad and consider upgrading it (video tutorial) once you reach an intermediate level of play.
• If your budget is between $100 to $300 - Keep an eye out for a used Cobalt Flux pad or L-Tek pad on eBay, your local Craigslist, or on the Facebook BEMANI buy/sell/trade group. Deals within this price range are rare, but possible. Or if you're handy, you can try to build your own.
• If your budget is > $300 - Same as above, but you'll be able to buy a new pad immediately rather than waiting for a deal to pop up.

And that's it! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me as well.

NOTE: The above portion was mainly copied from this comment on the DanceDanceRevolution subreddit. I made some edits and additions here and there to add more information and links to things.

That said, I am getting back into DDR myself. Personally own and fairly like my L-Tek pad, but I am about to sell it here in the next week or two. I ended up buying a Compact Machine setup from StepmaniaX which is an entirely different game from the non-X version. (Basically a modern version of In The Groove from the same guys but with 5 panels (U/D/L/R/Center) and they not only sell the machines to arcades but to private owners too.) Their stage/pads are the end-game ones to get these days, but are not cheap.

That is where you just use Cheat Engine to hack in gold for yourself. Why go through the treadmill to unlock items from the well when you can just give it to yourself?

Just be careful with burch sap. You might find that you’re allergic to it and it’s pollen. The hives from the pollen is no joke.

The game is entirely free too.

• Itch.io - Current main page
• Steam Page - Releases on Steam (for free) on August 18th. (The day after this update.)

Personally have avoided the hololive/vtuber rabbit hole, but heard good things about this game and figured I'd post about the update.

A definite surprise, but I’ll gladly take it. Makes sense as SAO is on hold until Unital Ring finishes, Progressive can only do so much with the movies and we have SAOA:GGO just sitting here.

Not that Mozilla has been 100% great either. Remember the Mr. Robot debacle?

If you like music, there are a bunch of good free rhythm games:

• Osu
• Stepmania/DDR - Main modern versions are Project Outfox and ITGmania
• IIDX/BMS - Beatoraja, heres a good English guide to it
  • Neat thing about BMS is that all of the music is made or licensed/allowed for it. The community is strictly against charting copyrighted songs, partially due to them requiring keysounding.
• Sound Voltex - Untitled SDVX Clone
• Guitar Hero - Clone Hero

Note that some of these require or are improved by an additional controller, so they’re not entirely free but once you have what you need you’re set.

I could also see it being a suicide as well. Remember, she was originally human and now has or had a much longer lifespan.

This would also explain why it didn’t pierce the seat along with the peaceful expression. As for the stake moving, the son who went hunting could’ve moved it to the storehouse after the fact but didn’t tell his father.

Sure, but it’d take care of the majority of them.

You also have to realize that the initial GitHub issue was submitted last year. Lemmy was a very different thing then. Now it is a catch-all for Reddit refugees, but for a bit it was going the same way as Voat.

I still keep up with my old FC/Guild from Final Fantasy XIV via Discord even though I haven’t played the game in ages.

What about pre-ordering for pickup? That way you have a guaranteed copy, but don't have to put anything down.

More of a gift I got for Christmas than something I bought, but a rechargeable wand vacuum. Thought it was really stupid, but the dang thing is useful. I've used it for anything ranging from sucking up hair in the bathroom to getting the baseboards around the house so I don't have to get a duster to do it that way. Have even taken it out to the car to remove a lot of the dirt and debris that gets into the driver-side footwell.

Was so versatile, I persuaded my folks to get one as well. They now love it too.
