You’ve heard of pilk, now get ready for…

…dilk 🥴
(Yes this is something they’re now serving at McDonald’s, no I am not brave enough to try it lmao)

More airports need low-sensory waiting rooms like this, WOW 😮

A view of the quiet room at Presley’s Place, a low-sensory space at PIT airport. I’m sitting comfortably with Aubrij the Blahaj on my knee 😄

Trying the new Winter Edition Red Bull out for the first time 😄 It is hella good!

Me with a Red Bull Iced Vanilla Berry Winter Edition. It’s very light, kinda tastes like cotton candy, haha

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains (Well, they didn't say Radiohead, so 🙃)

Oh hey, Bluesky rhythm gaming scores are back 😄 With a #spookyscores that I was pleasantly surprised to see! @ambones.bsky.social Preparing for San Jose Remix 2024, the South Bay’s last big rhythm game tourney of the year 😤 Super stoked!

Maximizer ESP SDP with 7 Perfects

Locked the HECK in for this one

Fascination Eternal Love Mix CSP 40k+ upscore
Good ol’ FELMO 😄 Jumps were pretty in control this time around! I find footswitching the several going into the last slowdown helps a LOT

Hyper 7 IIDX FC on a new SOTA song from Pinky Crush, Digital Radiance feat. S.B.Z. Standard Sota vocal trance fare, but that isn’t a bad thing, now

Hyper 10 AA on Sparkling Hyper Tune, a new L.E.D. song from Pinky Crush (Machico is the vocalist). Hella fun 10 here! And it still has an Another 12 coming down the pipeline…

Absolutely over the moon with IIDX tonight 😄 7 Dan is finally mine!!

Results screen for The Safari Hyper, an INFAMOUS 10 that has ended every IIDX 7th Dan course since the Class Mode was introduced. The graph shows a very close fail (2% at one point) near the very end.
For those unfamiliar, The Safari Hyper is a dense, chord-heavy 10 notorious for a series of runs going to a horn part that is actually supposed to be played as a 32nd (or 24th maybe) trill. It even boosted in BPM (134 to 150) between its first appearance in 3rd Style and 6th Style.

Results screen showing the four songs of IIDX Epolis’ 7th Dan including The Safari. The others are:
Heartache Another (CastHour)
ruin of opals Hyper (from Reflec Beat; crossed over to Rootage)
Rowdy Another (Bistrover)
As a whole, I’d say Epolis’ 7th Dan is slightly easier than the previous style, Resident. Ruin of opals is very much a sof-lan check, but it’s not as dense as entelecheia Hyper in its same position; I was always at the mercy of the climax of that song, and I never quite got to the end of the Dan as much as I’d like to.

Good morning Blueskies ☺️ Have a gorgeous sunrise for the weekend ahead

Beautiful pink and periwinkle sunrise outside my work this morning (12/15)

Newly Covid vaccinated , and though I may be tired, I got wings on my side 😁

Pear Cinnamon Red Bull for this year’s (?) Winter Edition. It’s very smooth! Not incredibly saccharine compared to most other flavored Bulls

Rhythm gaming is hella fun when you play just for- well, fun 😄 Finally great full comboed five levels of DDR, snagged some tricky 14s from the new event, and secured my highest IIDX Dan rank for Epolis! Solid sesh all around

Five years in the making since I returned to DDR in 2018. Last roadblock to this milestone was Pluto the First BSP, which is NOT a 10 for Christ’s sake 😩 You can also see my clear lamps for 15-17 here, and a dimmed 18 folder lamp with five more charts for that one

Easier Difficult 14 from Baby-Lon’s Galaxy. It’s speedy, but pretty straightforward.

This song is WILD 👀 True to its name, two sections slow down and gradually speed back up. And it still manages to SLAP hard. Bit of a jumpy 14, but I’ll take two greats on it for now

IIDX Epolis has been super cool so far; probably would rank the default song list over Resident by a hair, honestly.

This time around, Roku Dan is much comfier, I feel: the second tune (a Tomosuke song that Hina Bitter covered for DDR A) and Push on Beats aren’t so crazy for this level, even with the latter’s scratch bits, and satfinal, while chock full of chords, is oddly straightforward for an Another from DJ Troopers. That just leaves IXION, an LED track dating back to 10th Style CS that climaxes with a 300+ death run of notes; it’s a beast, but probably more consistently doable than Hurry Hurry was the last two styles.

I’ll likely be stuck in 7 Dan purgatory for a while yet 😅 Rowdy Another has a mix of tricky chords and charges, so it’s not going to help salvage health going into that damn Safari. We’ll see if I can snag it by the end of the style…

Without a shadow of a doubt. Heard this in my childhood, and now I wonder what my current life would be without it. Themes of alienation and transcendence abound, queer cool to the nth degree, all set to the most incredible rock music made by a singular visionary. What more could you ask for?

Happy Halloween blueskies 🎃 Here’s a hella cool shot I got from last year’s spooky season

A Hypecolor DDR arrow lamp casts a reddish shadow on a familiar face lurking from the shadows…

Apparently TaroNuke said this gives SRT final boss vibes 😳 I’m flattered, lol

Hey look it’s the @ambones.bsky.social Red Bull 😁

This is such a good flavor, omg 👀 It tastes surprisingly light for a non-sugar free flavor.
Highly recommend

Reskeet with your age and recent pic 30

Recent pic of me at the completion of IIDX Resident’s main unlock event 👍

I figured most of those of know me here see it in my bio, but yeah I’m a bi guy ♥️💙💜 Happy Bi Awareness Week to my fellow bisexual comrades in arms. Have the newest pic of me in the titular lighting, lol 😂

You know I had to do it to 'em. Happy 30 styles and running, IIDX!

Purely from a music standpoint, btw. Some of these epic tunes I can't even pass on Hyper yet, lmao. Doesn't mean they still aren't incredible songs!

mustanginexile@mustanginexile· Aug 14

I dig these now and then 😄

mustanginexile@mustanginexile· Jul 27

Cozy Eastridge Round 1 sesh so far! Happy for the chill vibes before I hit the road with the family to Solvang in SoCal for the weekend 😄
