i want to make one more pack but i might need some help

Re: i want to make one more pack but i might need some help

Rebirth I would love a new pack from you. I'm finally decent enough to play through your older stuff without my hands drying up and weathering away and I've enjoyed the shit out of them the few times I have booted SM up in the last 3 years

Re: i want to make one more pack but i might need some help

everyone would like a new pack from rebirth but given how much he falls the fuck off the internet, it wouldn't be complete until 2016

Re: i want to make one more pack but i might need some help

how about never

if he can't finish a single new file, what makes you think he can do a pack of them

Re: i want to make one more pack but i might need some help

I can't finish files either

Re: i want to make one more pack but i might need some help

I don't think it's possible to match finishing a file every two years

re: xoon 5 all his files are wips from like 2007

P.S.

Re: i want to make one more pack but i might need some help

I'm not even talking about a pack where anyone submits to it. It was one purely of my own files, and it was also just a slight thought. I like how you guys shitstorm this out of proportion. gg

For the record, GD, I abandoned those two packs because nobody submitted to them at all, not because I lost interest. I say 5 or 6 submissions in a 4 - 5 weeks time means it isn't going to happen

I don't really want to lead a real pack right now. It's true that I don't make files anymore and I open stepmania maybe once a month. If someone asked me to judge for one they are headlining, I would likely do it, but that's about it.

Re: i want to make one more pack but i might need some help

You make it sound like Stepmania is some kind of curse everyone in the community have been damned by and from which everyone is trying to get rid of.
like
"I think I'll do this now so I could have my normal life back. I don't want to be blessed by that power anymore."

or some kind of addiction from which everyone that was damned with this fate have to seek retreat because of how bad it messes up your life.

Re: i want to make one more pack but i might need some help

It's kinda sad really but true. (AFAIK anyway) New song packs are slowly dying/barely being updated/take a while to make... Personally, I blame the current music generation. (Don't like to admit it but, in reality it's the truth.)

Re: i want to make one more pack but i might need some help

are u sirius

Re: i want to make one more pack but i might need some help

No offense intended. However, wouldn't you agree the older generation music was better?

edit: Then again, maybe I am bias because of now these days, most musicians, use digital sounds instead of real instruments to make music. I know there still are some that use real instruments but still... I like older music compared to newer stuff. (with a few exceptions.) My favorite style would have to be disco/swing. Some of the best songs came out of this genre. (IMO anyway.)

edit: Mmm... I am kinda going off topic though here... As for this topic goes, I wish he would make the pack. However, it seem he is not coming back? (disappeared so it seems.)

Re: i want to make one more pack but i might need some help

What music is being made nowadays has nothing to do with how packs are being made and how long they take lol what are you talking about.

Re: i want to make one more pack but i might need some help

Nevermind... I tend to over think things a bit... If you can comprehend what I was thinking... you might understand what I meant... Maybe... IDK...

edit: Not gonna even attempt to explain either... It's a waste of time.

Re: i want to make one more pack but i might need some help

Not that I was offended but I just thought you were actually ironical for two reasons.
First because I mistrust any speech that consists of saying "It was better before" because of how caricatural it is to my mind (you're mainly carrying favor to something you come from/something you know ahead something you aren't coming from and whose you're prone to focus more on what's negative/different instead of what's obejctively positive. Naturally that means you're also prone to focus more on what was positive instead of what was objectively bad about "older music").
Also, not using "real instruments" may not be so much of a negative point on the aesthetical ground. What makes music good isn't simply "using true instruments", there is a huge part lying in the sole fact of composing harmonies and melodies and all that mess y'know, it's something related to the "idea" and not mere acoustic sensations. This is what differentiates a moving piece played by terrible midi soundwaves from a bad tune played by real instruments.

Second because I have troubles associating what you said with what happens in our community (and that's the important part!!). I don't even think that's the problem at all. People are stepping a wide variety of genres from a wide variety of eras and that hasn't changed a bit since... 2007 ??? We haven't stopped improving since the beginning.
I have a hard time figuring how "music these days" and the fact "New song packs are slowly dying/barely being updated/take a while to make" are relevant or even related.

I don't think the problem is about whether or not things were better before but about what you ignore and what you actually know of the thing you're talking about (current community and today's music).

Re: i want to make one more pack but i might need some help

Everybody thinks music/movies/tv shows/anything from the past is better and higher quality than present time media. It's what you grew up with. What era media do all of our parents like the most? 1980s.

The reason packs are slow moving is because there are so many of them. I bet I can look in Simulator Files and find 6 - 8 packs going on

Suggestion: Do moderation over packs similar to how the tournaments are moderated and approved/rejected in the FFR Tournaments subforum. And also only allow 2 - 3 packs per 3 months to be open

Re: i want to make one more pack but i might need some help

Kind of hard to do that since there is nothing to say people can't make files and do what they want with them.
