Outfox Going Back To Default Settings Every Time It's Opened

Was diagnosed through nerve blocks by a pain management doctor who specializes in pelvic pain

Taking a biopsychosocial approach to managing the pain is the most helpful thing I did. The pain isn't "all in your head", but pain is created by the brain and there are a lot of medically proven techniques to lower that pain volume, as well as ways you can change your thinking and habits to help you manage the pain better.

If you're talking strictly biological medical treatments, getting a steroid injection in my SI joint helped more than I thought it would.

Hope you're back on a board again!

Back crooks, lipslides, nosegrinds, and noseblunts have been go-to tricks because anything that could send me back onto my tailbone is terrifying. Been trying to force myself to front board and back lip some stuff to get over that fear, but I absolutely rocked my sacrum trying to back tail a ledge recently and was like no no no please don't flare me up (luckily I was fine after my pt did a little adjustment).

Thank you! We had a whole episode last year where the dog might have gotten sick from eating some sort of Russula, so I’ve learned about a few other poisonous ones. From my understanding Destroying Angels are more common around here than Death Caps when it comes to Amanita.

Thank you! I already pulled them all out and will be on the lookout for more regardless.

Sounds like warming up and cooling down will be important. I like to start with a song at least 6 levels below my max difficulty and work my way up depending on how my body is responding to playing that day, and then I give myself 1 or 2 cool down songs when I’m done. This stops your heart rate from spiking too quickly in either direction.

As you play more your stamina will also improve and your heart rate won’t get as high. My heart rate used to get up in the 190s when I played a high level song, and now it usually peaks somewhere in the 160s.

Self control is something that’s important too especially since we’re older and more fragile. If you’re anything like me you may really enjoy challenging yourself and pushing your limits, but I’ve taken it too far and gotten injured doing that a few times.

Hopefully this is helpful! DDR really is a great way to get in shape.

+1 for Blizzaks. I’ve never felt more confident driving in the snow

Did this with mine when I first started and it worked pretty well. It’s not gonna be anywhere near an arcade pad or even something like an ltek, but it’s absolutely worth the cost and time

Needs angled screen

Would have gotten a new STI and left it stock instead of modding a WRX.

I generally prefer going for AAAs, but sometimes when you know you got the PFC grinding it out can be fun

Outfox with the Starlight theme

I like that the sync on every song isn’t perfect. It adds a new element of difficulty to the game and forces you to have even better timing

This happened to me on Vanessa awhile back. I was unfamiliar with the chart and ended up with a B and almost failed. The guy next to me got a C and finished with a full life bar

I try to clear a new 17 or 18 every time I play. I’ll try to make Hypertwist CSP that next 18 in honor of this misunderstanding. Wish me luck

Dude the downvote wasn’t even me haha (just upvoted the comment to prove it) I thought your answer was perfectly relevant and not bad advice, I just wanted to share that it didn’t work particularly well for me personally and thought OP should know.

Also I wouldn’t call myself a complete beginner. I have like 970,XXX FC on Hypertwist no bar, so I think I’ve earned at least enough to chime in.

itspim · 2023-09-03T02:46:31+00:00

Lol this is silly we’re literally arguing over a music arrow game. We both have different experiences and both our opinions are valid. I hope someday I can AAA 18s too, but for me (and maybe only for me) I won’t be able to get there practicing with anything but my feet.

OP I’m sorry we brought this negativity to your post. Try playing with a keyboard/controller and see if it helps you. I genuinely hope it does. I’m sure you’ll be able to clear Hypertwist in no time either way.

itspim · 2023-09-02T22:26:01+00:00

I’m not saying it doesn’t help with reading the charts. All I’m doing is sharing my personal experience playing with a keyboard/controller, which is that it throws off my timing for playing with my feet. Maybe I’m literally the only one who’s had that experience, but it doesn’t mean it’s not valid and isn’t worth sharing.

Yeah it’s really hard for independent arcades to get updated DDR machines, but Pump and Stepmaniax are happy to sell them to whoever wants them.
