It would be somewhat like me forcing myself to pass Soldiers of the Stamina or Tactical Railroad on rates without any regard as to whether I'm actually hitting the patterns anywhere close to properly or not... in other words, by almost-purely through mashing my way through it.

Basically what I'm saying is that I personally wouldn't base someone being "trash" at the game on them being unable to pass songs charted in a manner that their current skillset would certainly not allow them to execute optimally in the first place. And to be honest it doesn't really matter how "good" or how "bad" you are, as long as you derive pleasure and/or self-satisfaction from whatever you feel are your personal milestones in-game. I mean, that's the whole point of playing a game after all.

I am not making this statement purely from that perspective however, as even if we were to solely take into consideration a progress/improvement driven attitude in regards to this game, excessively straining yourself or otherwise forsaking "proper" play just to pass songs generally results in close to zero progress from a functional standpoint.


also yeah firmament 1.1 looks solid, wish I could've caught it on stream

i understand where you're coming from

what i should have said is "my speed isn't fast enough to pass disregard", i'm not focusing on disregard alone. i hope you understand that as well

but thanks for that i appreciate it when people give useful advice like that.

also i've been focusing more on js and scoring well as a result of playing osumania more so that's good. maybe i could even play soldiers of the stamina someday
