Every time my name gets spelled correctly, balance in the world gets disrupted.
This is still so insane seeing this song in EZ2ON now. This was such a special treat. Gargoyle deserves to be in more rhythm games tbh.
Had to stop by tonight to pay respects and give my final farewell to one of metro Atlanta’s OG Korean-Chinese joints. Thank you, Chef Wong. 🙇 (Their last day is Sunday, August 2nd if anyone else wants to do the same.)
Hi, I'm your PIU TO for Project Storm @ CEO this year once again. We're about a month about from the event, so it's time to announce qualifiers! The ruleset has also been updated with update highlights included at the top for your convenience! 📃 bit.ly/Storm26PIU 🔗 project-storm.com
2025.12 - 170lbs / ~77kg 2026.07 - 150lbs / ~68kg Next step is to actively get back into Pump, lol.
I made a quick detour on the way home from work the other day since I had to check it out for myself. Never thought I’d see official Konami rhythm games in a Latin American shopping mall of all places here. 📍 Plaza Fiesta off Buford Hwy NE in Atlanta, GA
Looks like Phoenix 2 is really focusing on its PUMBILITY system and even split many of its skill-based titles into singles and doubles (incl. Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert). Good luck on your journey, gamers. 🫡
The PIU site has been updated for Phoenix 2! (Don't worry, you can still access the Phoenix 1 site.) Some new commands are featured (Note Timing, Filter, more Pass options) as well as Steam Link info to enjoy Rise content in the arcade.
I need Nongshim USA to stop nerfing my favorite Korean instant noodles. USA Neoguri doesn’t even come with a piece of kelp (dasima/kombu) anymore 😭 (Sliced beef and mussels were added by me before I end up misleading anyone lol)
Got some new funny things to mess around with! (Functioning mini-controllers by eraBEMANI)
One of my coworkers surprised me with a pack of Buc-ee’s playing cards. I didn’t expect these to be so nice, lmao.
I asked in the official PIU Discord since there seemed to be some conflicting info being shared around regarding this. One of the developers got back to me and confirmed co-op will only be available in Premium Mode again in Phoenix 2.
I finally tried this the other day and ended up hitting the jackpot on my first try, lol, oops.
[15/?] New Content Restrictions setting In addition to the ability of disabling certain songs, you can now disable titlecards and BGAs for certain songs also.
[14/?] Looks like all regions may now be able to change the Premium Mode credit count setting? This was previously an added exclusive feature for USA Phoenix 1 kits where you can change to 1-credit Premium which gives 4 hearts (3 songs) but includes all the Premium content.
[13/?] It looks like the operator settings menu has been reworked. For example, the following settings are now under "Program Settings (프로그램 설정)": - Credit Settings - Game Settings - Sound Settings - Card Reader - Song & Content Restrictions
[12/?] Premium Mode returns and functions the same as it did in Phoenix 1: - Requires 2 credits by default - 6 hearts (up to 5 normal songs) - Premium Mode exclusive content - Co-Ops are again locked behind Premium
