    1. I was referring to the song being more interesting than Faint Breath.
    2. I can read every chart in the game comfortably at a 2.0 speed mod. Even Sleep and Do I Smile.
    3. That's being an elitist saying it's only good for low level practice when you can't just enjoy the feeling of hitting the chart.
    4. Alloyus put little to no effort into Sleep and it shows so radiantly it hurts.

    Here's a few screen shots from an extremely similar SM, from Alloyus himself mind you, that shows it's lack of pattern variation and poor pattern choices overall, among other things.












    And I purposely ignored the intro. Which is the same thing.

    Notice all the anchors, the really bad transitions, and the overall fact it's literally just a dump of every sound he hears at once instead of actually trying to emulate the song. He even messes up transitioning into the main bulk of the song in my opinion, but that is kind of subjective.

    Sleep is a prime example of some of the poorest charting choices ever made for an FFR chart. I cannot stress how bad I feel the chart is, and how horrible it is it's in game. I just can't.

    Also, don't take this the wrong way, Alloyus is capable of stepping a good chart, and I earnestly think this isn't a representation of what he can actually do, it just shows some of the current stepping meta, and how this sort of stuff is more acceptable than a chart Jake actually put effort into, simply because it's more difficult and "good" for scoring.

      So... what does that have anything to do with how boring of a song DMB is again? The original argument is so far derailed. DMB is a boring song.


      YOUR THROBBING MULTIFARIOUS LUSTFUL DESIRES ARE COMPLETED N YOUR HYPER-ORANGE SELF, YOU MAKE ME LOVE AGAIN, YOU'VE CHANGED MY HEART, MY MELANCHOLIA DISAPPEARS WHEN YOU ARE INSIDE OF ME, MY HUMAN RAGE IS TEMPERED WHEN I AM INSIDE YOU, THE SECRET IS COMMUNICATION, LONGEVITY, STAMINA, REPETITION, FURY, SOULFUL KISSING, EARPLUGS. YOU FUCKING CORPORATE COCKS AND CUNTS.

      MY ANXIETY COMPLETE, MY DESIRE REPLETE, THE TASTE OF ORANGE BLOOD AND CUM AND GREENBACKS RUNNING DOWN MY FACE. THE STREETS WILL RUN ORANGE WITH YOUR MIXTURE OF CHEETOS AND HUNDRED DOLLAR BILLS REGURGITATED AND EATEN AND SHIT OUT AGAIN AND EATEN AGAIN.

      YOU ARE MY SCULPTURE, MY SCULPTRA, MY SELF-DEFINITION. MY DEFINITION OF HUMANITY, MY HARMONY. MY HEART AND MY MIND.

      YOU ARE SO ORANGE. SO CRUNCHY. SO CONSUMABLE.

      THE NEW ORANGE UNDERGROUND IS THE ORANGE UP MY ASS. AND YOUR ASS.

      I LOVE YOU CHEETOS.

        Enough.

        Discussing why you do or do not like the song and offering constructive criticism to the step artist/author is fine. Devolving the argument into trolling and flamebaiting is not. If you're gonna keep talking about this, keep it civil.

          i guess everyone's too puCCy to say it??

          jake ferguson made a half-assed song and made a half-assed generic file (without technical mistakes, which is good) just to get the ffr r1 simfile author and ffr r1 music producer title (which is sad as fuck but it's a problem some ffr kids have, they want 'recognition')


          wau look mom i have orange name and shit
          (hint nobody actually cares about those titles)

          BUT WAIT I AINT TROLLIN w0

          still gratz on ur first file and song in game i guess) hopefully next time u step a more interesting song, glucckaa

            I honestly do not see how devil's music box got through the judging. Production quality is that of a toddler who just discovered a xylophone.

                    lol you've bashed other people's files before and now you get called out for low production quality & charting a really generic, unmemorable file and you can't even handle the criticisms



                    anyhow if ur truly interested in steppin files & contributin you should keep stepping cause more simfile authors isnt a bad thing

                      Jake, I don't know you personally and I don't mean to offend you but the song is just really not at an acceptable level of quality imo. The chart matches the song well but there's no music theory, only one cheap-sounding instrument, lack of mastering and lack of any kind of atmosphere in the song. If you can't handle criticism though..

                            So .. Why are you guys accepting files that shouldn't be accepted?

                            Why bash on someone who had their file ACCEPTED?

                            This isn't His fault it's in GAME, why wasn't it denied with notes written as to why?

                              Satanic unicorn orgy is poor (for you) because you don't like it. That's a matter of taste.
                              Devil's music box is poor because it lacks in production value. That's objective (at least, more objective than taste alone because it's also a matter of how well fundamentals of music are applied).

                              It's like comparing this painting to this drawing (lol I searched furry on da cause the first page is usually riddled with shitty drawings).
                              The first painting is obviously a well-painted painting done by a skillful painter but it could very well not be your taste because it's subject matter you don't like. The second drawing is just technically very poor.

                              I agree, I don't see how it got accepted. It's not Jake's fault it got accepted.
