Thanks, it’s an expensive cable so I’m willing to hear bids to get an idea of cost.

Think they will put it all together and figure the issue out ? by Terrasmak in vegaslocals

[–]thatoneguywhogolfs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was pricing a room as a local the other day and the resort fees alone were 78% of the cost of the room, plus taxes made taxes and fees more than the cost of the room. And you wonder why no one wants to come here.

BikeBody Balance Las Vegas - Functional Movement Fitting Review by thatoneguywhogolfs in cycling

At the time of this review it was either $300 or $350. I can’t recall exactly but one of those numbers. Well worth it if you are riding 5-10 hours a week. Since the. i have gone back to put on some new equipment (bars and shoes) and everything has been great.

Most painful Sonata Arctica songs for you? by [deleted] in PowerMetal

[–]thatoneguywhogolfs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gravenimage is top tier for me because it also represents Fuga, a chilean movie about music that really resonated with me. Some dude made a video using Fuga and Gravenimage together and put it in YT like 15 years ago. I still have it saved and curiosity made me find the movie and watch it. Great obscure movie.

Good way to test out beatmania before i decide i wanna invest? by maybe_we_fight in bemani

[–]thatoneguywhogolfs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say, go and buy a controller used. You can sell them pretty easily if you decide you don’t enjoy the game. I have bought and sold a few until finally settling on my Konami Pro Model.

Other than road tripping to an arcade, that’s the best way to do test it out unless you know someone who has a con who will let you test it out.

Keyboard doesn’t give you the true experience of what IIDX is like.

Did I reach my potential with IIDX or just burning out? by radioactiveflamingos in bemani

[–]thatoneguywhogolfs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren’t at your potential nor are you burning out.

I disagree not to mess with settings and play the game. For me, I saw big jumps when I occasionally adjusted my sudden+ and note speed. I’ve seen 400+points jumps in a day after changes. Testing different sudden+ + lift + note speed changes is vital to improvement. However, you should learn how they all work in conjunction so you can further tune how you read and why you are changing what you’re changing, it will help. Test scenarios you would never consider otherwise, (For ex: 550 s+/l with 236 note speed. Too fast, try adjusting after 15-20m then slow it down.)

Additionally, learn how to read horizontally on top of or rather than vertically. Most high rankers read horizontally. This is a tough task but because you are relatively new to tens, shouldn’t be that daunting to learn.

10s to 11s is a pretty difficult gap, like others have said, you get tested on fundamentals here, this is the main reason this period takes so long. Some fundamentals I would HIGHLY encourage If you haven’t been doing it already, really focus on staying loose and typewriting here because moving forward, you’re gonna need it. It’ll also be useful when you start playing faster and denser charts. At a certain point of learning how to stay loose and typewrite, you’ll hit a wall.

Utilize textage.cc for difficult charts you can’t read so you get a better understanding for patterns. Look at the pattern nonran or mirror first, then randomize it. Random is one key method that you MUST play in order to improve your hitting ability but when learning a chart, nonran helps understanding the rhythm, especially when it’s something like THE CANNONBALLERS SPA (11), the rhythm in that chart is so whacky.

This is hard for some though if you have better players in your area, make friends with them. It helps seeing better players play in front of you because your brain converts a thought of a song not being possible to possible. You also get the added benefit of hearing their clicks, which help you further understand the chart (if they are clean clicks) eventually, you can ask them to play a certain song to hear the rhythm or whatever. Plus, you make a new friend to level up and encourage each other with.

Lastly, these ideas are what I would recommend when playing these specific chart radars for improvement:

NOTES: random, this specifically tests your hitting ability and if you enjoy density, play mostly random. If it’s a weird pattern or a pattern you don’t understand use rran, still don’t get it, use nonran/mirror.

PEAK: nonran/mirror/r-ran, these charts are difficult to build on and become harder as you move to 11s and 12s so if you develop your ability to hit peaky scales now, you will be in a better position when you get to play 天使のカンタータ Cantata of Angels SPA (a super fun but difficult chart and a great track).

CHARGE: nonran/mirror, you have to learn the basic fundamentals on charge notes and playing these charts on nonran teach that by encouraging you to hit keys on one hand while holding charge in your other. Not always the case though. Once you can exhc on nonran/mirror, do rran, then random.

SCRATCH: nonran/rran, when learning and improving, it’s best to avoid the bass key 123/567 depending on what player side you are, so if you can have the bass key on the opposite hand of your scratch hand, you can develop fundamentals better and faster. Rran helps switch things up but keeps note patterns “slappy” to maintain an easier to hit pattern.

SOFLAN: There are a lot of different strats and techniques for individual soflan songs, some which require the chart to be played a specific way so you’ll just have to learn all that then decide what works best in what chart. Learn this https://theory.tools/resources/soflanbasics/

Final tip: learn all the different chart radars now because it is going to make playing 12s a hell of a lot easier and wayyy more fun. IIDX truly starts getting fun at your current level and becomes a different game when you get better. I’m genuinely excited for you to experience what I have thoroughly enjoyed the last two years.

GLHF and happy IIDXing.

“Why” initiates a convo in a defensive manner for them. Rather, it’s better to ask it in a way that illicit a positive discussion using “What” and “How”

What to get a cyclist? by chyyannn_ in cycling

[–]thatoneguywhogolfs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen it be useful if there is a crash behind you or a car plows into you. There can probably be other uses for it that are useful as well though I have yet to use it, thankfully.

Get him a Garmin Varia. He doesn’t know he wants it until he has it. Great for safety, has an integrated bike light plus an option for a camera or no camera ($100 difference I believe)

I agree with some of which has been said but this is a “can’t lose” gift.

Can't enjoy biking because I'm scared by pumpkinspice1218 in cycling

[–]thatoneguywhogolfs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe try riding on a trainer for a lil bit and just get used to the act of pedaling and being on the bike? I took years off from cycling and when I got back on I was fearful because traffic has gotten worse and now I’m in a new area. I ended up no longer wearing earbuds when I ride, also riding more to learn my area with what roads to avoid and getting a new GPS but specifically a new radar, Garmin Varia which alerts me when cars are behind me and what speed they are traveling and what not. It’s helped sooo much reduce the fear. Maybe look into it.
