Everyone, I've got sad news in my family. My Grandmother (73 years old) from my mom's side is not responding due to years of lung problems and is being taken to the local hospital. I just really hope she is alright at the ER. Our hopes and prayers are with you, me and everyone. This all occured during my production of my second mixtape album, my first mixtape album will be released shortly on youtube and here.
Update: Rest In Peace my Grandmother, she passed away on May 4, 2019 at 8:40PM Pacific Time, just two days before her 74th Birthday (May 6, 1945 - May 4, 2019).

Assuming that the theory on them doing that...thing on purpose is not true, changing this much in a movie that supposedly is almost finished just 6 months before it's release is a really big thing. Would they not be better off by going for a christmas-time release, just like Star Wars in 2015?

It's kind of surreal to see that someone used a post of mine in a video about DDR... I'm finally YouTube famous :')

"touch n go ride the flow" |
I recently got friend zoned, but not in the way I expected.
This girl and I have been good friends for years and I recently started having a crush on her. I knew that she also found me attractive and really sweet, and she finds me pretty outstanding in many ways, including how "ridiculously amazing" I am at DDR. Obviously there are other things she thinks are cool about me but I found that interesting.
I asked her out last night and she took a while to respond but she gave me her answer. She told me that she's just afraid of what would happen to our friendship if something went wrong, because it happens often to her and she can't afford to lose me, someone who's very close to her and someone she relies on a lot. She said that if we dated she's the kind of person to cling to me and would grow even more dependent on me so if something did happen it would seriously mess her up.
She told me she's very sorry because she thinks I'm absolutely outstanding and funny and dorky and super attractive but she just thinks that right now a relationship between us isn't a good idea at this point in her life.
So tl;dr, I'm a really good friend that she's just afraid of losing. I respected her decision but I don't really know how to feel right now because it's different than other times I've been "friend zoned". On one hand I'm happy she really cares about me and our friendship, but on the other hand I'm sad because I'm so close to bridging that gap but I just can't cross the threshold.
Is it wrong that I'm kind of messed up about this?

DISCLAIMER: This is only my opinion, and I am not a smart guy, I am also not a relationship expert
No, it's never wrong to feel the way you want to.
But when you truly feel this has an emotional impact on you that will impact your friendship with the girl in a long-term perspective, it might be the best to stop having contact with her. IMO this is not an extreme stance -- if you truly have these feelings, and the negative feelings outweigh the positive feelings, it is not healthy for you to stay in that position, because you will try to keep your friendship the way it was previously, but you cannot ignore your true feelings.
It is unfortunate for you that she thinks about you the way she does, but it is better to let things be as they are and cut off instead of your true feelings eating you up from the inside. If you do let that happen, there is a chance said sadness becomes bitterness, and that is the moment when the "friendzone" really sucks... I have seen this happen to my brother twice, and it only ends up being painful for both of you. Remember the good times instead.
However, if you do think that you can eventually let your feelings rest and keep your close friendship, then truly go for it. But don't try to stop yourself from having these feelings.

I often spend late nights reading the "Interesting Little Things in DDR" thread for the 50th time instead of sleeping
Also, I can't believe I've been on this site for over 12 years.

The sad part is I can kinda relate to this.
I've been collectively alienated by a whole group, over my personal preference of SM5 (and SM5 gimmicks/tricks at that) over nITG. Plus some other deep-rooted personal stuff.
Consequently, I've had to mute any & all suggestions/advice telling me to learn how to code/script in LUA...indefinitely.

Hell yeah. When I see anyone ask for help with troubleshooting, I see "You won't get support for an outdated version (also NODOBY uses 3.9+. Why are you using 3.9+? Are you a fucking idiot? Are you dumb?)" Or they just passive aggressively leave a reply troubleshooting the problem for SM5 instead.
Then I see people ask for SM5 theme suggestions (i.e What's an SM5 theme with Endless Mode?) and the same people are all "You should use Simply Love. Simply Love's so perfect, no other theme can compare uωu~)
So uhhhh. Yeah SM5 kind of puts a bad taste in my mouth.
(Disclaimer, I'm using SM5, and Simply Love is a fine theme, but I play with people who like some flashy groove and funk, which it lacks.)

There is a good point they have: StepMania 3.9 has problems such as not being able to change stop values/BPMs correctly (you need to literally edit the. sm in notepad for something as simple as a BPM of 130.01 :/) and not being able to process rolls (which I genuinely believe adds life to charts sometimes and I sure as hell am not alone with that).
But at the same time yeah it's kind of stupid to bash someone over what version of StepMania they use. There's a reason I almost always provide an (at least) OpenITG-friendly .sm with my files, and that's that I know there are still people that use older StepMania versions, and I'm not that bothered by it. The two files I uploaded with no .sm are what I'd like to call "VIPs": Files that (at the time, at least) I determined needed those extra SM5 features because they made them more interesting.
Even then, if I ever release a full simfile pack and those two songs are among it I will, indeed, provide dedicated .sm files even though most people are probably just going to see the .ssc files.
Also I like the DDR Extreme US theme a lot, the only problem with it I have is the fact I can't use more intricate speed modifiers or mini modifiers (even then I'm sure I could manually change files in it to make that possible).

"You won't get support for an outdated version"
I mean that's pretty true for anything really. It's not a Stepmania issue exclusively.Also, Simply Love isn't all of Stepmania 5. There has been plenty of themes for the build all the way back when it used to be called Stepmania SSC. Some I have been using in recent times has been CyberiaStyle LAST APPROACH (looks to be gone), D3MIX MAXIMUM (which was removed this month, dang, and it's the one I still use), and WAIEI, and all those are certainly more visual flair. I haven't even looked at others much and I still found some more just by quickly googling.
I don't even like Simply Love from a design standpoint.
I'm also of the mindset that actively trying to keep simfiles compatible with versions of the game over ten years old at this point is more detrimental to the simfile community than actively helping it, but that seems to really be a me issue.

I feel like it's more of a habit thing. I used Stepmania 3.9 (not even plus) for years because I had a few bad experiences making stepcharts with Stepmania 4. I only switched to 5 a few years ago, lol
