A Few Thoughts
Posted on: October 21, 2014, at 08:59:30pm

I try to stop in at FFR once in a while and play a few games now and then, more so for old time's sake than for any real attempt at getting good scores or anything. I'm way out of practice at the game now since I rarely play anymore, and I'm pretty sure I've lost most of whatever skill I used to have back in the day. Even the really low difficulty songs don't seem as easy I think they should be. I was playing some songs tonight and actually starting to wonder if some of the arrows are slightly off from the music -- while music's not my profession, I do have a good background in it and was surprised at times to see taps I thought were on beat with the music register with lower accuracy than I expected. I'm sure the step files are synced far better now than they were originally though (e.g., look at the Legacy songs), so I guess that just goes to show how much skill I've lost. :P Much of my notes from the last post regarding my playing and loss of ability still hold true, though that's probably obvious. To avoid losing touch completely, it would be nice to squeeze in a little more play time here, but I'm not sure that will happen. Oh well. Oh, it was nice to see that my FFR Rank, although dropping as expected, hasn't completely taken a nose dive. I know it isn't a great metric for anything, but it's still nice to have a reasonable ranking for it. Anyway, I'm around (kind of) should anyone want to get in touch with me.
