@Anti-Matter last time I player a ddr game was a while back. Probably back when they first hit arcades. It's never really been my thing but I know you love them. I'm just not any good at them lol
Finally decided to replace the old Wi-Fi router we've been using since 2009/10 (it only has one band, on the 2.4 GHz frequency). Speeds are decent enough with it on the main floor (other than the occasional streaming video quality dips on certain devices), but I practically can't stream anything in HD upstairs (and the Switch can't even connect to the internet up there), so I figured I'd buy something newer.
Bought one of those eero mesh router systems, which are supposedly really easy to set up. Should arrive sometime this week.
Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)
@PokemonGirl99 That's nice. To be honest, I can't remember much of the Backyardigans, I remember seeing it a few times when my nephew watched it when he was little, but never actually watched it. It was a scene here and a scene there. Usually whenever he spent time with me, it was video games.

@RR529 Always go for wired/cable connection. Wi-Fi just can't compete and speeds on Wi-Fi can vary from 50% up to only 20% of a wired connection, so for game consoles and HD and up streaming services, it just doesn't suffice. Otherwise you'd have to install Wi-Fi boosters and what not to try and upgrade your connection, but it still won't compare either way.

Brrrr, brrrr, and brrrr! On top of very cold temps and windy conditions, we're now dealing with a winter storm in my neck of the woods. I'd estimate there's already 7-8 inches (~17.5-20.3 cm) on the ground, and I guarantee there will be another 1-2 inches before it stops overnight. I worked from home today and likely will tomorrow as well. I'll need to shovel out at some point, so I did some of my driveway earlier before I ran out of daylight. Normally I wait until a snow event is over, but with the sheer amount of snow I figured I'd move at least some of it out of the way and make my job tomorrow easier. It doesn't help that the snow is still drifting quite badly. X_X
I don't mind a little bit if snow, but this is too much! Snow events aren't uncommon here, but this much at once is a rare occurrence these days.
@MarioLover92 I tend to get along with most dogs pretty well, though I do have a preference for medium and large dogs over smaller ones. Not that I dislike small dogs, but I've encountered too many with Small Dog Syndrome. XD I get along with cats pretty well, though it also depends on the feline's socialization level and personality.
Agreed! The VC and NSO are definitely safer routes. Plus, you don't need to worry about a cart or disk being damaged, poorly cared for, or dying unexpectedly....
@Tyranexx we have about the same amount of snow where I am. Already shoveled it twice today and I’ll probably have to shovel it in the morning as well. On the plus side, school got canceled for the first time this year. This is probably the worst snow storm we’ve had in a long time. I can’t really think of any time in recent years where we had this much snow! Guess I’ll stay at home and finish 3D world tomorrow since I have nothing to do lol.
@gcunit
I wonder, do you play some PS2 Japanese games ?
Looking for peoples here who have played Konami's Rhythm games is like really impossible.
I couldn't even talk to somebody who shares same interest with me.
I always felt lonely because my completely different gaming taste.
When peoples here thinking about Konami, they never think about DDR, Beatmania IIDX, Gitadora, something minority.
I don't get it.
When DDR, Beatmania IIDX, Gitadora, etc still get the appeal from million fans of Konami's Rhythm games out there (Japan, Asia, USA), looks like Nobody here that showed any interest with any of them but me.
Sorry if i tagged your name.
@Anti-Matter I have a few Japanese PS2 games, but I don't think any of them are dance games. I don't have a PS2 dance mat either. I do have a DDR soft dance mat for Wii, and I think I've got one of the DDR Hottest Party games somewhere, but I've hardly touched it so far. One day, when I can sort out my Wii U installations/compatibility.
I do have a few Japanese rhythm games though - I have both Ouendan games and Elite Beat Agents on DS, and I recently bought Taiko no Tatsujin - Drum 'n Fun for Switch. Plus I have the Rhythm Heaven games.
From the little I've experienced of DDR though, I'm not sure the music is particularly to my taste, and I suspect that is possibly behind the apparent lack of Western fans.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
@gcunit
Ah, so you have a few experiences with DDR but from Wii.
Let me breakdown the song choices during DDR era.
Konami used Euro Dance songs for their licensed songs during old DDR era on PS1 and PS2, so you will hear the songs such as Butterfly by Smile.dk, Dub-I-Dub by Me & My, Dream a Dream by Captain Jack, Love Machine by Pony Town Boys, Witchdoctor by Cartoon, Dam Dariram by JOGA, etc.
I grew up by those European Euro Dance / Euro Trance songs and that's why i really like to play old DDR games.
The problem was started from DDR Hottest Party 3 Wii when the licensed songs went too Westernized with mainstream licensed songs, for me it was horrible song choices. No Euro Dance, No catchy music, just boring and Undanceable musics. Fortunately the Konami Original songs were pretty solid and way much better than the Western licensed songs.
The newest DDR is DDR A20+, Only on Arcade but Konami brought ALL TOHO Eurobeat songs for DDR A20+ licensed songs, very Initial D in both Japanese and English lyrics.
Oh, speaking about other Konami's Rhythm games, did you know if some DDR songs were from other Konami's rhythm games such as from Beatmania IIDX, Pop'n Music, Drummania, Keyboardmania, Para Para Paradise, etc ?
I made a thread about Beatmania IIDX this morning, hopefully i find at least 1 - 2 peoples who shares same interest with me.
Okay, about Beatmania , it was very old rhythm game from Konami before DDR, Pop'n Music, Drummania, etc were born.
Beatmania is basically rhythm game with finger tapping. You press the piano button like buttons + spin the disc booth to play the game.
At the beginning Beatmania era on PS1, the song choices was really disaster in my opinion, too many weird sound DJ music styles but when Beatmania IIDX has been released on PS2 and Arcade, the songs quality become better and become more Japanese. My favorite Beatmania IIDX is Beatmania IIDX 13 Distorted.
If you interested with finger tapping rhythm games, you can try Beatmania IIDX PS2 games as they have very awesome songs that completely opposite with mainstream Western musics. You will like it.
Here is one example Beatmania IIDX song with the gameplay.
Guys I'm so close to 100% the first crash game i did slippery Climb without dying now all thats left is light out and I another level I can't remember the name of.
Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outside…you know what I mean! Luzlane best girl!

For people like @ThanosReXXX, @Heavyarms55 and @Tyranexx it'll be easy to watch it, but I'll have to wake up at 1am to see it. Don't care, it'll be worth it.
