Re: He's back
I also got a chance to talk to Thaor on Discord recently. Great to see him on and reachable again!

And more importantly, where did you even start? If we assume that, hypothetically, I wanted to play again and acquire old classic files + whatever might be in the meta nowadays, how might I go about doing that?

Re: He's back
Pandemics. But mostly an ungodly amount of nostalgia which grips you when you become an old rag.
From what I used to play, from the simpler files. I had to regain muscle memory and speed, I wanted to see where I was after all that time passed from ODI. I never told myself for a second "I'm too old to be able to do what I did." Quote:
Or just go for Etterna, but that's a slightly different story. By all means, where on Discord/anywhere else may I find you?

Re: He's back
Download etterna. Use the pack finder on the site to get all of the old packs (they're all there). Etterna is a Stepmania fork designed for keyboard play and it's what all of the serious 4k players use now.

How are you, by the way? Hopefully life is treating you well. Quote:
I may very well check out Etterna. I had played DJ Max respect on steam not that long ago and it brought back that nostalgia. Like you I suppose I'm an old rag now and doubt I'll be able to do much, but I could give it a try and see how long it takes to de-rust.

Re: He's back
I'm doing great! Hope things are good for you too. I got Etterna in March and tried to peak for the first time in over ten years. Currently at 25MSD and climbing. I'm total scrub by modern era tiers but still already better than I ever have been at 4k.

I suspect I'll also be a scrub by modern era tiers. Oh well. I saw some of the SM demos at sgdq/agdq a few years ago and my reaction was a bit... Well, I always assumed and knew that people would surpass players like Thaor/myself/you but not to the degree that actually happened. The levels reached are quite extraordinary.

Re: He's back
Me too. I've been having a blast going through some of the mid-late 2000s packs. I'm a bit worried though since my knuckles and wrist start to give me major issues pretty quickly, even with easier charts. I'm hoping it might just due to being out of practice for so long, but if it keeps up I may just have to accept my best days with this game are behind me.

I went into the software development field and have been doing that for about 7 years now. I'm a bit worried that all my time spent at the computer for my job is contributing to some of my hand / wrist issues I'm having with etterna. I'm going to keep at it though and for a bit to see how things go! I've been lightly stretching and massaging my wrists / forearms before playing, which seems to help a bit. It is fun to see some of the old players back in this thread again. Btw, Thaor just FC'd guillaume tell (at my request . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CENups4dRvg. Yea, still kind of in shock with this one. Last edited by Bahamut-X; 05-27-2021 at 03:34 PM.. |

Re: He's back
Subbed to the YouTubez and have been following along with some of the wild scores you have posting. Good to see all of you fellow veterans (who are all better than me) back and active.
