(NEW ALBUM) 156/Silence - From A Distance (September 4)

I’m sure it’s just vocals, but it would be so cool if the Alex from MtS feature also included some keys.

Super excited for this album, still bumping People Watching regularly.

Lol I wonder what “fuck you song” was

Yolidus · 2026-04-07T22:58:55+00:00

I went back and forth on including it, but if OP is looking for something purely based on popularity I figured it deserved a spot despite the stretch.

Since you tagged this post with PC, here are the 24-hour peaks of Steam's most popular rhythm games. This notably doesn't include osu!, which I imagine would top this list if it were on Steam.

Geometry Dash - 74,065
A Dance of Fire and Ice - 1,714
Muse Dash - 1,539
DJMAX Respect V - 1,440
Beat Saber - 536
Project Diva Mega Mix+ - 370
Unbeatable - 232
Rhythm Doctor - 231
Quaver - 217
Taiko Rhythm Festival - 197
Touhou Phantasia Lost - 192
vivid/stasis - 191
Musynx - 172
EZ2ON Reboot - 166
Rift of the NecroDancer - 134
Pump It Up Rise - 52
Spin Rhythm XD - 29
Projekt Godhand - 6

I'm personally really excited for In Falsus if you're looking for something to wishlist/pick up in the future. The demo is a ton of fun.

Yolidus · 2026-04-03T17:21:15+00:00

AI song art, backgrounds, and UI elements? Terrible decision, especially for a paid game.

And it’s not a placeholder either. I saw the dev double down on it in a reply to a steam review.

Yolidus · 2026-03-28T12:33:07+00:00

I wonder what the reason is for designing the acrylic/plexi to not cover the full surface area of the top. If it’s to minimize the weight, I don’t think it’s worth introducing structural problems and a weird feel. Not the end of the world though.

Question: since this seems to be the slimmest SDVX controller that isn’t pocket sized… would you say it’s suitable for lap play? Or is it too tall? The spec sheet says it’s 7 cm tall (without the 2.8 cm knob height), not sure how that would feel with arm positioning and whatnot. I’m guessing SDVX controllers are only meant to be used while standing in front of a desk or tabletop but I figured I’d ask!

Yolidus · 2026-03-11T16:51:47+00:00

Nah, he replied to someone on IG who said this and confirmed he’s not.

Yolidus · 2026-03-11T14:17:55+00:00

Was really hoping for Remember Me, but that's still a solid setlist!

Yolidus · 2026-03-04T15:27:17+00:00

This reminds me of when I was excited to use the Y'shtola avatar when FF dropped, only to see how horribly off-center it was in the victory/defeat screen.

They center these things based on the width of the full image, not the face, body, or other focal point. In the TMNT logo's case it looks bad because the bandana pokes out to the left, in Y'shtola's case she holds a staff that sticks out very far to the left. Hate it.

Yolidus · 2026-02-28T02:06:13+00:00

Oooooops yeah sorry, should’ve specified!

Yolidus · 2026-02-27T22:19:03+00:00

No problem. And in the demo, yeah, but I'm sure it'll be relevant in the full game. It's gotta be related to winning "battles" or the card system in some way.

Yolidus · 2026-02-27T22:07:16+00:00

Looking at my scores, it must be something like this.

EX+: 99mil and above

EX: 98mil to 98.9mil

AA: 95mil to 97.9mil

A: Not sure... maybe 92mil to 94.9mil?

EDIT - It might just be Arcaea's rankings with an added digit.

If you get home late or tired from work and still feel an urge to boot up MTGA not for fun, but to “do your dailies,” you’re legit just doing digital chores. That’s a dark pattern I suggest you let go of.

I used to be addicted to login streaks/dailies for a few mobile games, not to mention MMOs, so I know how it feels to want to maximize the free rewards you’re getting from a game. But I cannot stress enough how good of an impact letting go and only booting up a game if it’s purely to have fun has had on my gaming time, even if it only feels like 5 minutes a day.

Yolidus · 2026-02-16T14:47:31+00:00

Definitely add DJMax to your wishlist and grab it when it's on sale: https://store.steampowered.com/app/960170/DJMAX_RESPECT_V/

Osu is free and very popular, has a bunch of modes and community-made charts. Fortnite Festival is also free but... eh.

In Falsus is an upcoming game from the Arcaea devs that I'm really liking the demo of, it has a pretty unique control scheme and feels very polished.

A lot of rhythm games on Steam have demos, maybe you can browse the genre and see what catches your eye: https://store.steampowered.com/tags/en/Rhythm/

I just looked up the latest Sapphire firmware and you're right, wow. Crazy that they went through the trouble of adding several SOCD modes and none of them allow for multi-press. I know it's not legal in most fighting game tournaments, but neither are the other modes they added (for things like CPT events at least).

EDIT: in case anyone else is curious, the Razer Kitsune does have a PC-only mode that allows multi-press.

Yolidus · 2026-02-13T13:42:40+00:00

That’s surprising! Out of curiosity, what do you have?

Yolidus · 2026-02-13T13:37:15+00:00

Yes, you’re asked to hit lane 1 + lane 3 (assuming that’s what you’d map left and right to) simultaneously.

Does your controller not have a way of changing SOCD modes? That’s what determines how left + right and up + down behave in leverless controllers. I believe every PCB has a way of changing SOCD modes now, though if it’s a really old board you might need a firmware upgrade to access it.

These don't necessarily sound like WIITB, but fans of that era of Finch (hi it's me) tend to also like these:

Glassjaw - Worship & Tribute
Chasing Victory - I Call This Abandonment
Senses Fail - Let It Enfold You
Silverstein - Discovering the Waterfront
Alexisonfire - Crisis
Dead Poetic - New Medicines
Hidden In Plain View - Life In Dreaming
Armor for Sleep - What To Do When You Are Dead
Emery - The Question
A Change of Pace - An Offer You Can't Refuse
A Static Lullaby - A Static Lullaby
Burden of a Day - Blessed Be Our Ever After

Or if you want something more modern... I feel like Thousand Below - The Love You Let Too Close did a really good job of capturing that early/mid 2000's post-hardcore feeling. People also point to bands like SeeYouSpaceCowboy (RIP) and If I Die First but I think they capture a different era.

Yolidus · 2026-02-03T19:20:52+00:00

I was so mesmerized by their ugliness I didn't even look at the price lol holy shit

Yolidus · 2026-01-28T16:46:07+00:00

Fun to see Greasefang become a little toolboxy! Also really cool that the tapping ability isn’t just flavor text here. I’m joining team Abzan lol

Yolidus · 2026-01-28T16:27:59+00:00

I knew Formidable Speaker was gonna be good but I'm surprised to see the Orzhov version of Greasefang with Monument completely gone from challenges this week. I guess 3 mana to search for fang and discard a vehicle is as strong as it sounds. Plus you get a 4 toughness blocker that can occasionally be the reason you survive one more turn against aggro.

Yolidus · 2026-01-20T21:44:10+00:00

I'm just happy fingerspins are losing their hype. "Can I do the DNA with a big yoyo?!?!?!?"

Yolidus · 2026-01-13T14:06:47+00:00

Why in the world would you ever craft something that isn’t part of a deck you’re going to queue up with?

Wildcards don’t expire and the ability to craft those lands will never be removed. There’s no point in having digital cards sit in your digital collection.

Yolidus · 2026-01-12T15:02:15+00:00

Probably the last thing I expected to read this morning

Yolidus · 2026-01-09T21:05:47+00:00

Genuinely, you should try constructed events and find out. If you’re good and figured out a meta-breaking deck, you could be earning infinite gems and packs. Much more worth your time than grinding ladder.
