That being said Samurai's version is solid, he has a different style and is 100% competent at stepping, it's great. I encourage everyone to play that version and my version, and decide for themselves if they like 1 or both.

if your chart for houmous was released anywhere before acerola then I will bump the acerola thread and direct my "lol houmous restep" at him instead

The idea of restepping a song being a bad thing is actually very toxic and discouraging and actually drives people away from wanting to be a part of the community and create new stepcharts and packs.

can't recall the last time I said "resteps are bad"
in fact, I recently told april it was cool to see a rechart of an old chart of mine that was released in usp lol
let me be clear here. the general idea that "resteps are bad, point blank period," is dumb old head shit. I selectively mentioned this one because of song choice and because, as far as etterna pack search shows, all of the other charts for it were done by literal whos. if it's any consolation to you I now know that this song's been charted by at least 5 different people and I also know that yours is probably the second best one.
why do you think I mentioned the king crimson and billian songs and not blastix riots restep number 7649812784362

The negativity outweighs the positive and it is not pretty, we drove Zebdal away in the most toxic bashful and unwelcoming manner possible in 2009 due to his resteps, I bet he could have been an amazing simauthor by now if he kept up the last 13 years. Check the Stepmania France Pack thread.

you were around in 2009 my dude, the level of assholery that a bunch of us engaged in back then would be entirely unacceptable in 2022
I looked at the thread and honestly that might be a bad example because, like, there's this post from zebdal himself

so all simfiles have been stepped before.

the entire point of that pack was to take stuff from some of the best people making charts back then, and redo them. the link to the pack preview is dead but patashu brings up a goddamn nautilus restep. lol.
what's cool about looking at this thread though is that apparently scylaax had a bunch of stuff in the pack as well. had no idea he restepped bf2014 lmao. to be fair that one totally needs a restep. what's even cooler is that scylaax also has charts in acerola too, and they're some of the most memorable in that pack. ludus has a killer solo chart and gigadelic rmx absolutely fucking rules.

I hope this is helpful, and I really hope that we can just enjoy the site and game/pack together. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, and I anticipate the same holds true for you.

yeah I know you aren't and that's honestly great. you are de facto one of the reasons that this corner of the rhythm gaming world saw such massive growth in the 2010s. I'm sure some of the newer players are gonna see this and think I'm memeing here, but the nuclear blast pack series was a literal game changer. as far as just stepmania's history is concerned, the only other people I can think of that have had the same level of influence (or more) are people like kil and midare.
so keep making charts bub, I know you enjoy it. still gonna poke fun at the songs I think are funny to see new charts for though. also still gonna continue making charts for music that no one listens to.

someone pls restep bf2014
