Obsession with FFR? There is no such thing!

Re: Obsession with FFR? There is no such thing!

Obsession with any hobby is possible. FFR is no exception. Let's be realistic, man. If you close your eyes and see FFR arrows running up that black screen of your eyelids a lot of the time, you've got a problem. And if your grades are slipping or your work performance dropping, you've got a problem. Same goes for social aspects. If it often keeps you from doing things outside with friends that you know you would be doing had you not been playing FFR, you've got a problem. Otherwise, go for it, as much as you can.

I have all of these, but I don't find them problematic. I never had any friends irl. My failing school grades might be a bit of a concern, but not enough reason to stop my FFR. FFR is life.

Re: Obsession with FFR? There is no such thing!

When I started playing piano 3 years ago, my teacher said I had an unusually high dexterity and that years from then I'd be scaring people if I put my mind to it. Over the years, games like FFR, Step, PIU, ITG, DDR, and various others have introduced me to all genres of music and improved my rythmic understanding in general. Without that, I would have been semi-retarded learning music, and probably wouldn't have pursued it for more than a month or so. Now I play piano and FFR lots. I feel great.

Edit: Basically, playing FFR lots is cool so long as you benefit from it in another way. Otherwise you've just been having fun here in that FFR has no substantial monetary prizes for competitions. (Thus, FFR is useless unless the understanding gained is used to improve your abilities in the real music world.)

Edit2 (sry for massive edits): checked ur profile. Says you have a band. There u go lol. You play music or tap to music all the time. What's wrong with that?

I cannot agree more!

The only time an obsession is bad: When you start dreaming about it or in it.

Example: You know your to obsessed with FFR when all you see when listening to a song in your sleep is a stepfile.

Re: Obsession with FFR? There is no such thing!

Actually, FFR has given me great grades at school, before it was in the middle, but at the exams now, I've scored 2 top grades so far. And a lot of great grades.

And I was banned for three days here lately, and I just wanted to kill myself afterwards. So you can say, that I'm a FFRaholic too!

Hey, Look at it this way. Get a crackhead addicted to FFR. Maybe he'll stop thinking about crack and just want FFR then when you want to get on the computer introduce him to crack again.


But seriously, I am a little bit obsessed. I play it everyday, at school, home, friends. EVERYWHERE!
I also got my proud trophy of my obsession.

Re: Obsession with FFR? There is no such thing!

I'm addicted to lurking FFR, then playing stepmania for hours until new posts come up on the forum or after posting scores in the brag board. I've had some declining grades, but it doesn't come from FFR. I'm naturally lazy when it comes to huge projects and essays that I don't do and don't try to even get half credit by turning them in late. It's an addiction, but it's not ruining my life.

Re: Obsession with FFR? There is no such thing!

You know your addiction to FFR is bad when you start dating people from FFR or when you know people who are dating people from FFR.

It's complete drama, but some of them work out in the end. (Liz and Isak <3)

Re: Obsession with FFR? There is no such thing!

I was never really addicted to FFR. I played casually, now I don't play much at all...only reason I still post here is because I don't know what else to make my homepage as.

Re: Obsession with FFR? There is no such thing!

I had to take a moment to dot dot dot there for a second. -_-
Annoying.
Anyway, I have been here for nearly two years. Twice I've tried to quit (having just recently come back from the second attempt, thirsty for more), and have never successfully managed to go longer than three months without playing a couple games, or dropping a post or two on the forums, just for "harmless fun".
Just a while ago, I played only four songs. My entire left arm feels like it's falling apart inside. When I first started, I could do thirty or forty songs painlessly. I can't leave. I just... can't. This is truly pathetic. I'll probably just keep playing until I become a paraplegic or something. Laughing at pain, and bringing on more.

tl;dr:
WHINE WHINE BAAAAWWWWW

Does that happen, im oblivious to this

Re: Obsession with FFR? There is no such thing!

I'm not obsessed. Addicted maybe, but its not too bad. I posted this to see if anyone else plays or is on about an hour to an hour and a half almost daily and gets crap about it being an obsession. I averaged it out and I've only had 24 gameplays daily, including all the times I boo'd out of stuff. Truth is, i haven't played as much as my 8k gameplays imply, and my life ISN'T at all affected outside FFR. Obviously the possiblity of obsession is real with any one thing. But I'm not. Thats all.

As for what martinmonkey777 said, thats totaly bull. Even if you are obsessed, it won't happen unless you already had extreme mental problems.

Or when you get married over FFR rofl.

hahah lolz

who cares if its fatal, i'll still play anyways!!!

i bet there's ffr in heaven...

I THOUGHT THAT WAS SO FUNNY.
And, rofl. I love FFR. I play way too much, though.

And to sum it up, yeah you can be addicted to FFR, but there are worse things.
Let your mum walk in on you watching porn a couple of times.. I wonder which she would think is worse since she seems to think your 'FFR addiction' is horrible.
