So I've done a couple of streams already, but meet Nari Nightrunner, my new streaming persona! Artist: my lovely younger sibling, Rayla! Check fem out at bsky.app/profile/rayl... or toyhou.se/RaylalaHearts!
My Sanae stickers arrived today! Not sure where I'll put the others, but I've got a good idea for this one...
My copy of Girl for a Week arrived! Looking forward to rereading it! @autumnwolff.bsky.social
#DGEF26 days twelve and thirteen: combined post because of a mishap on day twelve. I attempted to play a ratemodded stamina 14 consisting of 300 measures with no breaks, and got about halfway through, at the cost of extreme jelly legs forcing a set abort. I did a long set tonight to make up for it.
#DGEF26 day eleven: to make up for Monday, I went hard last night. Did a warmup set with DDR-style charts, then played my custom DDRMAX nonstop megamix marathon, featuring all 35 songs from the OST's megamix disc, in mix order. Shoutout to Flash In The Night, the real DDRMAX boss song.
#DGEF26 day ten: visited the Illini Union again and played a bunch of good sets, doing some doubles and RIP singles practice! I need to practice more no-bar doubles in particular if I want to enter couples this year. (Wasn't able to get pics of every set.)
#DGEF26 day six: played on the ITG cab at the UIUC student union! Played a mix of singles and doubles and had a fantastic time. (I didn't get pics of every set, but I played a lot of songs this afternoon.) Looking forward to hanging out at the union next month for RIP 15!
#DGEF26 day five: back to ITG! Just a general set tonight, covering casual stuff, light tech, and stamina. Going to be playing on cab tomorrow, which means poor attempts at playing ITG doubles!
Day one of #DGEF26 is in the books! I haven't been nearly as active in dance games since I started HRT at the end of last February, but I've still got it in me. Sticking to my same rules - not just half an hour a day, but half an hour of pressing arrows, helpfully measured by ITGmania.
Rare #RandomGameSaturday post from me with a PS2 fave - and since I pulled the regular case from the pile, I doubled back and grabbed the LE box!
A reminder that no matter how much time I spend building evil blue decks (including Sharuum, my beloved combo sphinx), my truest joy in Magic will always be burning down greedy mana bases.
Related to your 九段 screenshot woes: I've had to stop myself from screencapping stuff in a bunch of RC matches lately, particularly anything involving the most recent event's paid outfits. At least I had default Elsie going when I won this match against a surprise 十段 yesterday.
I got my hatless Ralsei plush from Fangamer earlier this week! Then I gave him a hat. Peach hat for the peach boy!
Random Game Saturday! Here's a doujin shmup from 2013. Touhou pixel-art fangame, but inspired by Cave shmups - it's got big multiplier number pop-ups, Daifukkatsu laser wheels, and a second loop. Very cool game!
Random Game Saturday! This is the weird Europe-exclusive English release of Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu, with region-locking such that it's playable in major regions *except* Japan, making it very import-friendly for US-based players, as long as they were willing to deal with European XBL for DLC.
#DGEF25 day 28: it's over! One more hour of ITG complete, and I got some nice upscores for ITL, but I didn't quite make it to 225K RP, and I cleared all but one of the remaining base-pack 11s. Still very happy with my event performance! I'm going to take a short break from ITG tech before ITL 2025.
#DGEF25 day 27: almost there! Pushed unlocks and a little RP tonight. Really happy with some of my upscores. Long stream session tomorrow to wrap things up!
#DGEF25 day 26: more ITL grinding ahead of score submissions closing. I have six 11s left to clear, and I'm about 18K RP away from hitting my event goal. Also got another 12, and I'm closing in on some others. Long stream session coming on Friday to end the event!
#DGEF25 day 25: long session on stream! Cleared a bunch of ITL 11s and a couple of 12s. Going to do another long session before the month is over - I wasn't feeling up to doing basically anything yesterday, so I didn't even go to my basement, let alone play. Rough when you're doing a daily event!
#DGEF25 day 23: mix of ITL and more Kagetsu no Yume quad attempts. I missed yesterday, but not on purpose - I did actually play a little bit of DDR, but I spent my evening running a mystery game tournament at @araigumabattle.bsky.social, so I didn't have time to actually put into a dance game.
#DGEF25 day 21: I was too tired to make a post last night! Long day, so I ended up taking it easy - instead of new clears, I made 25 attempts for the Kagetsu no Yume SM7 quad. (I'm so close!) Played a few other songs after to make up for the *seven minutes* of intro time across those attempts.
#DGEF25 day twenty: got busy and forgot to post. Another ITG tech session, back in the ITL folder. I want to try to clear every base-pack 11 before the end of the month. Got a couple today, with decent sightread scores!
#DGEF25 day nineteen: Touhou stuff. ITGmania didn't want to submit ITL scores and I didn't want to waste time restarting, so I just played other stuff all session. Got a bunch of new clears, including a few 12s!
#DGEF25 day eighteen: ITG tech! Exclusively played ITL 2024 stuff today, and got a bunch of upscores and new clears. I hit 400K TP and 200K RP!
#DGEF25 day seventeen: forgot to post before bed, but it was another mods day. Slowly worked through more easy stuff from the Mods Boot Camp packs, then jumped around for a bit to see if I could find other easy stuff in my install. Reading is getting very slightly better, but the pad issues aren't.
