      * mash keys before playing a song

      * mash keys after playing a song (victory mash \o/)

      * mash fast 16th one handed/jump trills as 8th jacks (even more so while playing solo or bms)

      * ghost tap hold notes

      * tab key is constantly pressed whenever I'm not playing

      * not being able to PA simple staircase patterns that goes from left to right in ascending order (eg: 123456)

      * make weird faces while playing whenever I'm:

        When I make new/edit files I put little to no steps at all cause I just end up listening to the song. I try again but I keep listening instead of stepping so it takes me a long time to finish files.

          I play with my earphones because my Mac Mini's speakers are bs, but due to the fact that these earphones have a somewhat short wire, it ends up dangling over the keyboard in the middle of my fingers. So I place my face funny, turn my keyboard, computer and monitor in angles and make weird finger gestures to avoid it in general, or else my score gets messed up.

              Crack knuckles, twist wrists, (always stiff as a plank though...), try and ghost vibrate, massage my neck, tab always pressed (except ingame), etc other habits like accidentally hitting the power button that's next to print screen (allmyrage.jpg)

                  THIS SO MUCH

                  sometimes I'll turn on Autoplay and play random songs, hitting the TAB key during the fast parts to watch the Marvelous! flashes just whiz by and hitting the key above it to watch the dramatic parts just sag

                  sometimes I'll hit a particularly emphasized note and just fling my hands upwards as if the song is over before I get back to playing

                  not having cdtitles bugs me. like, it really really REALLY bugs me.

                    At the end of a chart I hold ~ to hear the rest of the song so that it doesn't end abruptly (only certain files of course).

                    Others I have to hold ~ and [TAB] to freeze the screen to hear the rest.

                      do you ghost tap the wub wubs during the breakdown part?
                      Man I never managed to actually catch their rhythm because it's a weird mix between 12th and 8th so it's somehow internally frustrating.

                      Metal musics = Hard heavy keytaps, soft stuff -> soft as hell keytaps
                      Also I remember having issues to play certain calm files because usually my tap is so gentle I just touch the key but not actually tap it.

                      Why do you guys press tab all the time? o_o
                      Try it, once you tried it, you can't stop. Your fingers get grafted to the key and you end up having a finger permanently holding it while you're in the menu without even thinking about it. It's just like the running key in Super Meat Boy.

                      OH ALSO.
                      When there are mines on an "empty" part, I tend to ghost tap the song on the free panels everytime a mine meet it. It's my little artificial risk just as when I ghost tap the holds.

                      Sometimes I talk to the file while playing. I say things about it, about the music, whatever.

                        Woah. I'm not the only one!

                        I also have the caps lock light issue. I put duck tape over it so I can't see the light.

                        My right pinky used to start reaching for the sky when I would play, but it seems to have stopped doing that.

                            -When playing 4k I switch to index+ring finger sometimes

                            -Saying out the vocal samples in a song if used sparsely

                            -imagining some random BGA or graphic video playing to match the song

                            -holding Tab even outside of Stepmania

                            -pressing scroll lock instead of screenshot at results screen

                              I do this sometimes on files like battlefield (specifically the freeze with mines that progressively get denser)
