@ogo79 I had the same problem, but I fixed it. Try logging in and out, worked for me.

@Kermit1 every now and then i notice this lol

@Kermit1 Thank you. This is vary interesting. To think one puppet made a generation of memes.

Hey everyone,
I've got a bit of a first-world problem and I'm coming here to ask for help on the matter.

So I downloaded the new Chrome OS update just there and, whilst I like most of the changes, the mandatory theme change from pure white to pure black throws me off immensely (I prefer to have it toggleable). So I was wondering, to anyone here who also has Chrome: do you know if/how to revert it back? A pop up came up saying something about right clicking or something but it went away before I could actually digest what it said if that helps in any way. I'm also on a Chromebook so you know what kind of device I'm working with.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

I love the designs of some of these plates. Yet another reason why I'm still salty that Nintendo of America never really supported the regular N3DS here outside of a couple of limited (and subsequently scalped) releases.

@MarioLover92 That Gold Mario that joined at one point was placing first a lot. IIRC, earning that racer isn't easy by any means. Most of the time I was fine, but there were a few times where I was getting trolled by items left and right. IDK if it's just dumb bad luck or what, but I seem to do slightly better in online random matches when not on one of tekoii's streams. :sweat_smile

@Fizza I use a Chromebook too and I don't see a change. I'm typing this now on my Chromebook and looking for something different.

@Fizza did you go into the appearances tab in the settings

A new Dance Dance Revolution A3 song Get Your Wish with similar color schemes from its cover art as Splatoon 3 and wicked BPM changes.

Sounds like Splatoon 3 themes or something ?

@Anti-Matter what's your history with DDR and games like that, I'm always very interested in all the DDR stuff you post.

@Kermit1
Well, I get introduced by Dance Dance Revolution 3rd Mix on PS1 from my cousin back on year 2000 when it was the hype of DDR Arcade. I started to play DDR Arcade from DDR 3rd Mix Arcade late 2003. Then I got introduced by newer version such as DDR 5th Mix, DDR MAX 2, DDR EXTREME, DDR SuperNOVA, DDR SuperNOVA 2, DDR X, DDR X2, DDR X3 and DDR A. My favorite Arcade version was DDR X2. The last time I played newest DDR Arcade before pandemic was DDR A20 (upgraded version from DDR A).
I have been playing DDR for almost 19 years and still playing DDR while the machine is still available.

During DDR era in early 2000's, there are two different style player: the Free Style player and the Speedy player.
Free Style player tends to stepping the panels with realistic dancing moves and they usually choose easy songs to match with their choreography.
The Speedy player can play until the hardest level as they need quick reading of multiple arrows, strong legs for stepping the arrows in flow and strong stamina to survive the difficult songs.
I am the Speedy style player as I have practiced for very long time and built my stamina level to beat harder songs.
I need to know the characteristics of every songs so I can prepare myself to beat the songs with their gimmicks. Some songs have a lot of jumps so I tend to play them after some warming up, some songs have erratic melody so I need to memorize their song pattern, some songs have wicked BPM changes so I need to memorize the slowdown parts as I will use some speed up to make it easy to read the other parts.

I played other BEMANI games also on PS2 and or Arcade such as Para Para Paradise, DrumMania, Beatmania IIDX, Pop'n Music, Keyboardmania. I still suck at Beatmania IIDX, Pop'n Music and Keyboardmania except with lower keys option as i have never played piano and I don't have proficient in finger play.

I was surprised and happy to see some old BEMANI songs from DrumMania, Jubeat, DDR Wii games added on DDR A3 Arcade with new difficulty ratings and new stepcharts.
So far, some new DDR A3 songs I like are Get Your Wish, Stellar Rain , Environ, perditus+paradisus.

Btw, if you have Wii machine, you still have opportunity to taste the DDR games on Wii that most of them being used on Arcade.

@Anti-Matter I now want to play a DDR game and make a YouTube video showing myself failing.

@Kermit1 Anti is stupid good at the game. I forget, but I think he did it blindfolded once.

@Snatcher yup he did.

@NeonPizza I love Family Matters and that episode of Full House. I own every season of it on DVD, don't ask how much I paid.

@Kermit1 No, it was just a forced change when I updated the computer. I've actually tinkered around with it since I posted that comment and found a solution (going to custom colour and putting the hex code for pure white) so we're all good now. Thanks for the help though, if it wasn't for your suggestion, I probably wouldn't have looked deeper into the matter

@Fizza I spend a lot of time on those appearances opitions lol.

@NeonPizza I have this

After (I forget what season, I think 6 or 7) the show became a Sci-Fi show.

Today I played Wii games for a while just for maintenance and I felt sleepy during playing so I ended my gameplay after 1.5 hours. 🥱
I wanna continue my backlogs on Switch but I still sleepy...

@Tyranexx I seem to do best in regional lobbies overall. Sometimes I get destroyed in one, but it's nothing compared to worldwide lobbies...IIRC, the last time I played worldwide, there were Waluigis everywhere, and I'd get hit like every 5 seconds or so! A friend of mine told me that regional races are generally more tame, so I tried them out, and I'm so glad I did...I can actually stand a chance, at least most of the time. I'm never coming back to worldwide rooms, that's for sure.

I agree with you and @Maxenmus, those New 3DS faceplates are cool. I kinda wish I didn't go the XL route for my 3DS because of that! Ah well, it is what it is. I think they make decal stickers for the New 3DS XL that look like those faceplates?

Hanna Barbera characters complaining for their hairs doesn't move.

Two weeks till Soul Hackers 2 comes out. Feels kinda weird though, waiting on a game I probably wouldn't play till I finish the first Soul Hackers on the 3DS which I also bought. I'll probably tell myself, "Ah, I'll just check out the first 10 minutes," and then realizing it's 10 hours later.
