Hello again everybody.

I'm going to be honest and say IDK how to start this RT but I'm going to lay it out on the table. The phone call that I just got done with prior to making this RT is making my blood boil and I am physically shaking while writing this.

Well what happened has drained what fun I could have possibly had left for rhythm gaming PERIOD. THERE IS NO FUCKING REDEEMING THIS EVER. Out of all my years of doing this never would I have thought what I have just been informed of would happen.

I was just called by my friends Julian and Nathan(yes that Nathan) to tell me that my other friend Alex was in the hospital after attempting suicide. That was already bad enough but what I would be told via both this phone call and on discord is enough to make me go into a violent rage and lose all self control I have.

Nathan in this phone call told me that 2 members of my local dance game circle (who I wasn't on the best terms with for a different reason but was trying to work it out with them) went behind my back to basically every mutual community that we share and either tried to get me kicked out or messaged someone and started a smear campaign.

This then lead to various KITG guys(as well as other ITG players from my understanding) and a few toxic clone hero people to go after Alex which then lead to him cutting himself in the bathtub.

IDK his current state but IK that he is in fact alive and for whoever was involved in this incident I will make sure to take whatever action I can take with you. As of now I'm fucking done with Rhythm games and from here on out there will be no more mention of them.

To those that out there I may have disappointed I'm sorry but this is goodbye.

I have witnessed the dark.
The light has befallen upon the cave of which I have fallen.
I have Arisen.
To strike fear into the hearts into the ones of which cannot fight the long and drawn out battles.

I didn't make a RT for the OT13 or 13.5 so let's start now shall we.

I got placed into Division 4 again for this tournament but this is fine more because I'm not as active as I used to be

ROUND 1: Debut is a great file and a banger to start the tournament with. It definitely feels like a we're back to the asskicking of all the FFR players and certainly a good song to warm my fingers up to for rounds to come.

ROUND 2: Forever is another banger and an example of a kickass file in general. ya'll throwing everything at us this year and if files keep progressing this way this tournament might just be the single best one I've been in across my rhythm game career.

ROUND 3: Ordine honestly I'mma come back to this a few times during the week assuming I don't get anymore good runs this time around we will totally have to see.

I'd just like to take a moment and say that I'm not coming back full time but a friend convinced me to part time come back to rhythm games.

2 friends to be more correct here,

The first is Deskrot who messaged me on discord after seeing the original RT and wanted to talk a few things over with me. Well after we discussed this pretty heavily we went and made a rather lengthy agreement that basically lead down to this summer you'll come play some PIU with the rest of our guys.

The second more indirect one was akaunei with him posting scores of a 10th dan clear and a beta 0.9 clear over discord today and it partly made me want to go back to osu mania which as of right now will happen for the foreseeable future.

On top of this I felt maybe trying one more run to see where I stand on certain things as I plan on writing a long story/essay basically giving my entire thoughts hot takes and opinions on rhythm gaming as of whenever that is.

So to y'all who want to talk to me or play multi with me now's your chance.

as of rejoining rhythm gaming discords I'd rather not. Message me through dms on discord (katanaeyegaming#7965 is my tag) or through ffr dms. If I do go inactive from play again I'll post on the forums at least to let you know I'm not dead because I know some people were seriously concerned for me.

With that I wish y'all the best of luck with the tappy bois.

Godspeed,

My friends I feel the need to make this update in gym class to let you all know that I am to be quitting rhythm games cold turkey as of now. This is because of the culmination of many things that honestly should have been the reason I left months ago.

So here's how it's to go down.

As of today I'm leaving all rhythm game discords that I am currently in. Updating my profiles to let you know of my retirement. And then i'm going to unfollow every rhythm game youtuber/ twitch streamer and remove videos from my watch later playlists of such content.

I know all of this is harsh but I have 3 main reasons.

1. I just don't find it as fun as I did months and years back and I feel i'm just playing out of necessity to fill the void of times once past.
2. I have other hobbies and games I want to pursue the main things being playing Monster hunter and writing.
3. I feel i've achieved every single major goal that I could reasonably do .

Now this does not mean that I won't discuss rhythm games on other platforms such as twitch or that I won't write about it. But this announcement is being made because I just can't be passionate towards these games anymore and probably won't be for the distant future as well.

I would like to thank the following people and groups of people for their excellence.

Korzala: You helped introduce me to the keyboard community of 4k and got me into stepmania pretty hardcore during that time. I can't thank you enough for that.

Deskrot: For being the leading man in our dance game and voltex scenes and just being an influence on me pushing my limits in those games.

Akaunei: For being a bro and on top of that being super good at Osu mania/etterna despite not believing in yourself. Your accuracy will go a huge distance.

Shatteredpixel: My guy hopefully all goes well with whatever you are up to nowadays and you have just overall been a chill guy to hang with.

Firstmaple8: Same as above my guy you have a fighting spirit like none other in 4k and I love watching you play.

Flynnmac/Cammygoesrawr(or whatever alias you go by now): I credit both of you with keeping me afloat during times where i've felt demotivated. Seeing some of your scores has brought life back to me giving certain things a shot.


Every taiko and dance game discord i've been in: for just being wholesome.

FFR discord: for having the best people i've probably ever met across all rhythm games.



This is truly goodbye friends.

I shall be a shadow in the night.
The nightmare shall devour thy flesh.
But for we are as one.
As you hear the lightning crash.

Katanaeyegaming.

Well if you are reading this you see that I just got D5 and well this is probably the biggest goal i have wanted since I started playing FFR last year.

And well to put it simply I couldn't be happier as I have ironed out my accuracy (which was by far my worst skill set) to a point where I can comfortably do good enough at the game.

I also wanted to say that while I said before tat I might be quitting in January with this accomplishment behind me it gave me some motivation to keep going so while it might be a possibility still I highly doubt it at this point.

As of right now I got a few other smaller goals in mind but for right now I feel that this was worth discussing.

Peace out
