hi icy so I know your post is probably a joke just to get me riled up but I'll take the bait anyway short or unfinished charts can be explained as being... unfinished. if you read the first post, I even explicitly say that. I probably should have noted which charts were unfinished though, so my bad for making you mad by playing through things I couldn't have been assed to finish. I think the biggest difference between your approach to charting and mine is that I make charts for myself and you make charts for other players. I've said that this is "bad" in the past but I don't think it's really all that bad. what happens is that my charts are terribly inconsistent, but the good ones are memorable. or at the very least, they're interesting. your charts are super consistent, but imo, that leaves them generic. but they're good for scoring, and scoring is the main focus of the stepmania meta. honestly, I hate a lot of my charts. I'd be inclined to agree with quite a bit of your reviews, actually. some of these charts are so old dude, it'd be like me going back and reviewing your era of charts when you were making shit like downtemperature lol. extreme speedcore dadfuck? that has to be around 8 years old. also as an aside the reason you liked frictional nevada is because it's basically jimerax's chart but with a bit more layering but yeah. our approachs to charting vary so much now that it's not really... fair to compare? keep doing what you're doing, I'll keep doing what I'm doing. |

Re: TORRENT ORiGINALS
Why would you release unfinished charts? i kinda don't see the point of it, people usually would want to remove every old/bad file they made out of existence never to be released
you claim to say that some of your files are bad so why release it if you think they're bad? |

Re: TORRENT ORiGINALS
I originally released torrent originals as a way of closure; I wanted to get away from the name "torrent" and start making myself up as "choof" because I like this name way more than torrent. it's been my nickname for years irl.
I wouldn't play the unfinished charts for scores. I think the main reason why I released them as unfinished in the first place was so people could potentially look at them and see interesting ideas. they're there for you to look at if you would like to. like I said though, I should have noted which ones are unfinished. but oh well. at this point I doubt people are going to actually play charts from this pack outside of the ones they're familiar with, so there's practically no reason to note the unfinished ones. altho I have been thinking about doing a review post much like icy's. I think I can be objective in reviewing my older shit. people enjoy different things. I think robotomy is fucking awful but it's apparently one of mina's favorite charts. I think bf2014 is old and outdated, but FFR accepted it and it was a community favorite for a while. people still play it. likewise, I think fast fissure is sick but I haven't seen anyone aside from kraezymann play it, and that was after I said "wher scores."

Re: TORRENT ORiGINALS
I'm glad you replied. We share a lot more sentiments than I thought. Whether it was fair for me to review these files since they are probably mostly old or not, I came into this pack actually with the thought that I could learn something new from how you make simfiles. While it is vastly different from just about anything I've made, I only learned that I did not like them and that's fair I think. I'm a man of my word and when I say if you purposely exclude yourself from playing a pack or someones files you are missing out on what stepmania has to offer.
You're not proud of your old files, I'm not proud of my old files, whether we ever got "good" at making simfiles is completely subjective. I do however make my simfiles for myself also, otherwise it would feel a lot like a tremendous waste of time and I would have stopped a long time ago. The review and this are not intended to compare your files to mine. It does bother me though when I see a trollish message from choof saying icyworld files are bad, I don't want to be a rival to you but I did want to see where you are coming from to say that. If you have another pack you deem good, small or large, please send it to me I'd like to see what I'm missing out on. I'll review that too if you want. |

Re: TORRENT ORiGINALS
i don't want to sound too pretentious but i would say that you have charting down to the science and i have charting down to an artform
maybe that's a bit cryptic and also something a huge fgt would say but oh well Last edited by choof; 11-17-2016 at 01:48 PM.. |

Re: TORRENT ORiGINALS
I think you're both great charters, Choof and Icy, and I don't want this kind of thing to divide two people who I both respect and like a lot, further than they already are divided. I think it's good you can both admit you have your fair share of good files and bad files, but quite honestly above all else it's just difference in style. Even if unrealistic, I hope the two of you can get along well one day, 'cause I honestly think that you're both more similar than you realize, given how I've spoken to both of you at least a little bit. That being said, it's nice to see that you're both being civil about it; ffr drama is never good drama.

Re: TORRENT ORiGINALS
icyworld files are like when grandma bakes a delicious cake for everyone to eat at a family reunion; choof files are like when you're wide awake at 2AM with cocaine widthrawal symptoms and you realize you've been mixing canned tuna, cereals and glass shards in a bowl for the last 15 minutes

Re: TORRENT ORiGINALS
as long as the glass shards are food grade and also made of sugar yes
this is why I was looking for this, my half full version only exists in this "pack" there are some other pretty cool things in here that I kinda forgot about honestly so expect a few v2s soon Last edited by _choof; 04-13-2024 at 09:04 AM.. |

I don't think they are, but this is referring to your old simfiles You've grown considerably since then
