the exact opposite imo
people should be willing to receive such criticisms even though they can be quite sensitive about it

Really this time Hi19 I would really tell you to believe what people say; you're being a good critique and the notes are well detailed and show no offense.

Dude, stop worrying about everyone's feelings. Even if you say "your chart is shit this is why it's shit /notes here" it is still much more than I used to do. If they can't take such posts, they should get the fuck off the internet in the first place anyways. Post what you want, how you want. Some of us appreciate the honestly, even if the phrasing is harsh. It's not a good feeling to see like "yeah I like this file, it's pretty good" then see it like 4/10d in the batch notes by the same person. It's actually infuriating if you asked me. (Not a specific example, but you get my point hopefully.)

Just what I think though.

Middie pls. "Ohhhh you don't accept that I call your work absolute bullshit, you're the one who should get off of the internet !" (example). Well all I can say is Seriously dude ? I could explain in details why your post is hilarious but do I really need to...

"I think you have a lot of work to do on your layering. @x.xx time there are many sounds that are too loud not to be stepped considering the rest of your layering."

"Ok why didnt you step that BOOM sound srsly wtf it appears like 10 times oh and the vocals should REEAAALLY have been stepped man your file feels so empty pls stop stepping."

Guess what, both are right, but one is a good critique, the other one is not. Can you find out which one is which ?

Hm well thank you all for the positive response to these reviews.
I've definitely learned a lot from reviewing these three rounds. What people expect, what people like, how people react.


With regards to "Middie-ing," please let me proselytize for a bit...
Even the most "objectively bad" pieces of art (stepfiles included) has merit if the artist created with a purpose; if people put effort into their work, you should at least acknowledge the value of their intent before criticizing the execution.

Kind of a pithy, life-lessony bullshit sounding thing for me to say, I guess. But I do believe that it's worth noting, as it's perhaps an easy concept to understand in your head, but a lot harder to internalize. Generally, you will find people are more open to criticism if you first acknowledge the purity of the goal they had. In fact, I'd go so far as to say doing so is a necessary part of criticism being constructive, as without internalizing the artist's purpose you're merely deconstructing instead of working to help them better achieve that goal.

Oh Hihi. You really shouldn't need to worry too much on how people react to your reviews. I'd say they're pretty legit, considering people are actually reacting to them.

I feel your pain. I didn't bother to do any of round 3's songs because of that. I feel as if no matter what I did, I wouldn't line up to the people who've been doing it way longer than I have. I'm not that great of a stepper. Pretty mediocre all around. I'm a little surprised I made it to the third round, but the scores I got were so much lower than I expected, so that killed any motivation to do the third. Just be glad you stepped something, regardless of how good or bad you think you did.

hi19: I don't have your reviews to be bad at all. You're never really rude in how you come across, and your criticisms seem highly constructive to me. While it is your eventual goal to make sure that you don't come across negatively, reality doesn't coincide with that for those who do need some work on their files.

You worry too much.
