do you ever just play rhythm games in public

Re: do you ever just play rhythm games in public

I used to play at my college's cafeteria/break room. Had a few people tell me how good that combo was and what not. Shame nobody watched me unlock Oni though as that's where I got it.

Nowadays I'm not as mobile when it comes to playing VSRG's. Most I do is tell FB friends I'm streaming fiffer on twitch and a person or two would come in to watch me suck. They haven't yet reminded me to play in front of them when they come over. Perhaps next week I'll play a few games in front of them.

There IS a gaming café here. One day I'll overcome anxiety and show up and maybe show off some Etterna or FFR or something. It'd be more about getting people from my area into VSRG's more than myself showing off. :P

Re: do you ever just play rhythm games in public

I guess as a sports person and generally competitive soul, I love playing in front of other people. Since a majority of my friends don't do the rhythm gaming thing it's always fun to bring them to an arcade or play at a house party and wow people who haven't seen me play when everyone is drinking/chilling. Gets some fun reactions for a little bit, then people move on, such is life.

I love when people really get into it and request certain songs/genres as it pushes me to actually play well for the audience.

Craziest story is at one of my local arcades we have an ITG2 Cab and often-times an entire Jewish community will bring busloads of people to mostly take over the arcade, as well as some schools and camps during summers. I've had upwards of 50 kids-teens and their parents/guardians/counselors watching me at times in the past, it gets pretty insane but is always a good time.

Standard questions include:
"How long have you been playing?"
"Can you play the hardest song in the game?"
"Do you have THIS song?"
etc.

Good times.

I used to play a bunch in the commons and after class in high school. Played a bit in the halls of community college. In-person classes are finally back for big boi college, and have been thinking if I have time from doing homework and projects to sit in the CS lounge and play a bit just to see if anyone else has played FFR.

One time I had a Karen tell me to stop gaming FFR and proceeded to explain lengthy explanation to probably hide why she doesnt own a pair of headphones still. Unfortunately for her, us Scene Kids back then were assholes so I kept playing.

Plus, I played SOO much DDR at home and in arcades that it doesnt phase me if people see me game rhythm games. If youre not over the embarassment of playing DDR in public, then you didnt live it out to the fullest. Whether i try out new files or replay old ones i mastered out of muscle memory; for me, if anything, it's awesome! i dont mind the attention during ddr sessions. i earned it at this point.

If you have nerves over gaming in public, just know this game exists.

My friend sent me this one:

I used to play FFR in my high school photography class while I was waiting for my film to develop. It was years ago now, but I remember my teacher being interested in my FFR playing lol.

Re: do you ever just play rhythm games in public

I made quite a few crowds playing FFR at school
No crowds playing DDR though
Made one when playing Guitar Hero Arcade

I feel like the arcade scene is dying now - it's not like what it used to be anymore. Online gaming is probably what caused it.

In school and in a internet cafe in Colombia, the people in the cafe were very intrigued.

Tried the DDR machine. Funny that I have the endurance to run a half marathon, but can't finish an easy song.

Played FFR a lot in high school (circa 2004) in front of classmates.
