Re: hi19 AMA

Would you consider releasing the hi19hi19 hard files pack despite the lack of gfx on a few files??

I remember playing your death moon chart years ago back when my skill was fairly novice. Just wanting to see how I stack up now.

Re: hi19 AMA

You're playing poker with a tiger, a reindeer, a jellyfish, a horse-sized duck, and a duck-sized horse. You're holding 10d 10s and the flop is Js 4s 5s. The tiger confidently slams its paw menacingly on the table and bets 2.5x the minimum. The reindeer smoothly calls while looking slightly intimidated of the tiger. The jellyfish also smoothly calls while holding its cards really tightly in all its tentacles. The duck and horse both fold. Do you fold, call, raise, or run screaming?

Don't you ever get creeped out by the concept of a self-aware corn-on-the-cob with a creepy-looking face?

What are the words that the guy keeps screaming throughout Rave7? I can never begin to work out what he's saying.

Forgot this thread existed. Answer questions from back in March let's do this:

Yeah I really need to release it (Staiainmania needs new challenges I think) but I won't do so without GFX. Files without at least a banner get lost and confused so easily, and people rarely post scores on them. I could just shit out some banners in Paint quickly though.
Also Death Moon Oni Oni Oni was a true OG dumpfile and I'm glad someone remembers it as fondly as I do

Hard to make a decision without knowing the tendencies of the players, but I'd likely call. Despite how aggressively the other players called, the pocket 10s remains a strong hand after the flop. For example even if the reindeer had a ridiculously strong hand such as pocket 5s I would still be around 30% chance to win largely due to a flush.
Disregarding odds, I play poker mostly as a social activity and I would enjoy calling just to see the reactions of the various players in what is obviously shaping up to be a big pot. I never play poker with more money than I'm willing to piss away so even if I lose it all, I had fun with my animal bros.

The future, man...

Don't you ever get creeped out by the concept of a self-aware corn-on-the-cob with a creepy-looking face?

No. In fact I consider my corn to be a close companion who I have bonded with over years on the internet. We've seen some shit together and lived, that's true friendship.

What are the words that the guy keeps screaming throughout Rave7? I can never begin to work out what he's saying.

One of the words is "rave"
Good luck with the rest of what is said though.

Why don't you play me on League?

Probably because I was bad when I made this thread and I am still bad.
But seriously though just invite me any time I am on doing nothing.

What's your favorite cereal-flavored milk?

I actually don't drink milk (or eat cereal very often for that matter), but if I had to choose a cereal it would be Reese's Puffs.

Re: hi19 AMA

how do you think your ffr/stepmania playing career would have gone if you never got into stepping? i know you were pretty good upper d5 caliber in your prime

I enjoy creative aspects far more than competitive aspects of most games I play. I honestly think upper d5 is the best I would want to be at this game, as weird as that sounds. The time commitment to reward ratio isn't there. I don't think I could push myself to practice because it wouldn't be enjoyable for me to improve just for the sake of improving at something as "insignificant" in the grand scheme of things as Stepmania.
I'm just naturally drawn to making content instead of consuming it.

Interesting question though haha

Re: hi19 AMA

on that note, are you into any other creative activities?

Re: hi19 AMA

Composing music. Not that great at it, but I have fun. Related to that, I've played piano for 18 years and I improvise all the time just for fun.
Also I love game design. Literally every game that I find myself enjoying the most is because it has a level editor (Stepmania, for example) or because it's an inherently creative game (such as Roller Coaster Tycoon)
I used to paint a bit but I've kinda stopped doing that

Re: hi19 AMA

You seem good at expressing yourself. Write alot?

Also your old Those Who Fight Further file, is that still up anywhere? I honestly want to get it again

+1 for you getting that pack out BTW. And Long Live The Corn!

Re: hi19 AMA

I used to. For English classes in middle and high school I used to always wind up writing way too much for the creative assignments. When I get started on a story I just kinda keep going.
Overall I enjoy writing and people have told me that I'm not bad at it.
Honestly I should write more, haha.

Dude if you can get a copy of that file and send it to me I'd love you forever. I lost all my old files when the FFR simfile database went down and my old HD crashed, so no I don't have it anymore myself

You should, I would be interested in reading it

Well TBH I think I have it on my external backup but pulling that out of storage is a bitch and a half. But hell, if you need it too I'll make it a point to take a look here in a bit. Would have been sooooooo much easier if you had though rofl
