    Reach AMA

    Fire away.

    I'll answer anything assuming it's a reasonable question.

      Thought it might be fun.

      Thought people might have questions, given how long I've been here and my previous status as a SM player and simfile author.

        Is there any files on FFR that you stepped that you wish you could take back?

          No. They're a part of the history of the game at this point. I mean, I don't think any of my best work is on FFR, but I can't say I'm completely ashamed of anything I've ever made to be honest (some of my earliest work on SM is appallingly bad but hey, the standards were lower back then >_>)

              Honestly, I was really bored, really liked the song and was craving something incredibly hard given the lack of insanity chart wise back when I made it, other than most of NVLM's files, which I was sick of.

              That and I wanted to push the envelope in terms of charts I knew could be full combo'd in theory but probably wouldn't be. So I designed it specifically to be as hard as I thought was physically possible within the limitations of the song and what I was capable of hitting at the time.

              I didn't enjoy making easier files because they bored me for the most part. I had played a couple other gigadelics and hated them all on the simple fact they were far too easy. So, my gigadelic was born.

                  your files have made an impression into the scoring stepmania scene. personally i think your files are posted more often than any other file ever made next to toph files. how do you feel about that?

                    Majored in neuroscience, minored in psychology. Dabbled in biochemistry and physics with my electives.

                    I'm now in Dentistry and very much enjoy my work, though not necessarily my schedule sometimes (a little overworked I must say).

                    I'm just glad to have been part of the community. I joined the site in the nascent stages and got to see the game evolve over time from almost nothing to a vibrant community.

                    Mind you, I haven't played the game in years, but it certainly brings back memories.

                      Wow, I had forgotten you were in dentistry. Cool stuff.

                      idk I don't have anything to ask so instead I'll just say you've always seemed like a supremely Chill Dude and you were more inspiring to me back in 2005/2006 than you probably realize

                          You're a pretty chill guy yourself

                          I MISS PSYCHOPATH (I had such a great time with that game. Will never forget it).

                          Depends on what your goals are.

                          If you want the highest grades possible I highly recommend you 1. Only pick classes you're really interested in and 2. Get information on the prof prior to signing up for the class. It'll save you 1000 headaches in the long run.

                          And even if you don't care about grades, it's probably good advice to take haha

                          Otherwise, be prepared for cabin fever come exam time. My family and friends just accept the fact at this point that they probably won't get to see me for a few weeks when that time arrives other than when I venture out into the wilderness for food.

                              Many, though if I'm forced to pick a character from BBT that I'm most similar to, it's Leonard.
