    Have been getting back into Stepmania and DDR.

    Ended up getting on the waitlist to buy a Compact Machine for StepmaniaX, which’ll be available in August. Cannot wait for that to come in as I want to use it to lose weight and increase my fitness.

    Note that SM and SMX are not the same game. SMX is a 5-panel arcade game initially made by Kyle Ward of In the Groove fame. Came out in 2018 and has seriously grown a lot since. Now has 350+ songs with more each month. Major chains are doing location tests for it too as Round1 has theirs at their Great Lakes Crossing one.

    You can use the stages/pads for regular Stepmania, but you cannot simply download StepmaniaX and play it on your own.


    Outside of that, I’m playing a bunch of arcade-based rhythm games as well. Museca is still a lot of fun with the Museca+ custom content, but the game kills my hands. Trying to improve at IIDX but scratching is still the bane of my existence. Currently at a plateau with Chunithm as well with a ~11.45 rating as the charts get to be a mess to sight-read around this point.
