Let It Out

It's been 6 months since I joined ZIv. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome and I plan to stay for a while

And as such, you've earned something, Ryuzaki. Check your PM.

Wait until your 1 year ZIv anniversary

---

I just checked and 2 days ago was my 3rd ZIv anniversary

On the other hand, yesterday I took SAT I. Pretty hard for the English. Math was a piece of cake (subjective).

---

I always seem to miss my ZIv anniversary. Something manages to pop up at the beginning of December which keeps me very occupied and then after 2 or 3 weeks I realize I missed it
On that note I've been here for a little over 4 years.

On another note, I had a Math exam a few days ago. Way easier than I anticipated, but it liked focusing on areas I did not like much. Now that leaves my Ethics exam next Thursday. Till then I'm off.

Today I have 90 AAAs and I am gonna go through the most brutal songs to get to my 100th. This is going to be the worst week of my DDR life. Here is the songs...

Era (Nostalmix) - MAX
Radical Faith - MAX 2
Knock Out Regrets - Supernova (Heavy and or Oni)
DAIKENKAI - Extreme 2 (Heavy and or Oni)
BREAK DOWN! - MAX 2
DESTINY - MAX 2
BUTTERFLY ~UPSWING MIX~ (Heavy and or Oni) - Extreme 2
A (Heavy and or Oni) - Extreme
Maximizer - Extreme

And for the 100th...
Kakumei (Oni or Heavy) OR Paranoia Survivor.
If you guys have advice for some of these please let me now, I think all of this is going to take......2 weeks?

Paranoia Survivor for a AAA is going to be 1000000000000000000x harder than trying to AAA Kakumei.

Era (Nostalmix) - Ah, a personal fav of mine. There are two places where you are bound to mess up a AAA here. The first is not, in fact, the slowdown halfway (just follow the rhythm, and it's no problem) but rather what I call the Devil Run, that long ass stretch of notes at the end that include plenty of jacks that can easily mess up your run. Second, is ironically the very last note (you know what i'm talking about...)

Radical Faith - Ew, whole mess of chaos up in here. Just follow the rhythm, I don't really have anything to say about this one.

Knock Out Regrets - I only AAA'd this by sheer luck, can't say I have any advice.

DAIKENKAI - If it's Heavy, just be ready for the speed up halfway, but also watch out for the triple jump just prior to that. Also, I hope you love spins, or else you're gonna be double-stepping like it ain't even funny! If it's Oni, it's pretty much the same: Be ready for the speed up, have fun spinning or double-stepping, and have endurance for the end run.

BREAK DOWN! and DESTINY - Not too bad, I guess if anything, just keep your legs limber for crossovers in BREAK DOWN!, but nothing much else.

Butterfly ~UPSWING MIX~ - Ouch! This is not a fun one, well unless it's Heavy, which honestly is no big deal, but Oni is just a bitch. If you didn't hate jacks and speedy crossovers already, well now you will, and it's even more frustrating when 1/16ths are tossed in and you are going for that AAA. Good luck.

A - Heavy, not so much of a problem, the speed up should be your only issue here. Oni is where it gets tricky, jumps EVERYWHERE once the speed up kicks in. The final run on Oni is also amped up a bit, just keep it easy and flow with the music.

MAXIMIZER - The 1/16th note clusters at the start might be trouble. Or not. The hardest part is the end stream, but it's not that bad. Again, rhythm is everything.

KAKUMEI - On Heavy, two spots will be your focus points. First is the slowdown at the beginning for that one note, shouldn't pose too much of an issue. Second id the end section where the entire kitchen sink is thrown at you as far as chaos is concerned. Oni is waaay easier, it's just a stripped down version of Heavy and it doesn't try to challenge you in any way.

Paranoia Survivor - Most people would be satisfied getting an A or AA, but alright man. Keep your feet moving at all times and be ready for those crossovers and BPM shifts.

Some of these might sound simplistic, but really it's hard to break down every portion of each song. Hope you get to #100 without much trouble.

Thanks. And yes I know what arrow you meant for Era.

---

Easiest ones on that list are Knock Out Regrets, Kakumei, and Maximizer.

You can ignore those threads altogether. I can sympathize with them flooding over to the chat, however. And with who else can I discuss the manga that I usually come across?

---

I honestly thought the Doubles contest and the Best BEMANI song was enough.

---

"Worst Z-I-v Worst of/Best of Contest" coming in April. I'm fucking calling it.

To anyone who's played Katawa Shoujo:

Daylight (Like It's Hot)

I was really, reeeaallly, REEEAAALLLYYY bored so I did this:

and I actually like how it came out.

You can pretty much guarantee YouTube will never take down your video.

It sounds like something from Castlevania in some parts.

So I won something from Springer Math.

A Copy of "The Colors of Infinity" and a book of my choice for $100 > x . I picked the textbook for my Real Analysis class next semester. FUCK. YES.

---

Good luck with that. I might be taking that next semester too and I'm not looking forward to it.

Only at University Mall Tampa, the ghettoest mall in America:
