'eyyyyyyyyyy

it's been ages

I stopped using Skype if that wasn't, uh, obvious

how you been

I should probably update this at some point. There's so much stuff I've shuffled around in my backlog that either exists or doesn't exist anymore.

hey are you still alive too

I question how not-dead you are.

DERKOMAI LIVES!

Hi, I'm totally not dead here even though I visit this site every day still, but I do owe this page a formal update since it's been a while.

Sup, everyone~

What's amazing is how much stupider Pendulums [H] is.

Have you considered making the red outline part of your new avatar transparent?

New Theme Update

I suppose this is just me accepting fate at this point.

Been getting back into IIDX. Was playing some earlier...you have been getting better. I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to get you back to single digit wins against me :V

I also saw your 11 HC...405nm wtf lol. Like...I wouldn't consider it a tough 11, but that's a rougher HC than...a bunch of other 11's lol.

Also, fuck you and your Zed clear.

So much.

Fuck you.

Fuck.

So hard.

Fuck right the fuck off.



GG

i was crushing some old scores of mine yesterday. rocking like...+50's and +70's on some old 7* and 8* charts.

puttin' dem Derk skorz to shame :V ;-D

I had to load up the game to check my scores and make sure (god i miss browser client) but the reason is because they both have strange timing windows. I have a mid-AA on Voltage and nearly a border-AA on Alien Temple.

IIRC, they both feel have kind of strange timing windows, especially Alien Temple. I wanna say Voltage's Great window is pretty large, extending a little bit into both what should be a Late Good or a slightly early PGreat, and Alien Temple has a smaller PGreat window as well.

Or. We just suck :V also a possibility. But neither of those to me are "lol u suck can't AA" charts. I seriously went "...yeah, that sounds right" when I read it.

Other 8's & 9's I feel/know for a fact have strange timing windows:

Attitude - I legit have a better EX% on the [A] than the [H]. Go figure. But seriously, I always get a fuckton of Fast Greats on this. Even back on a CRT on the CS games.
Ave de Rapina - play this chart and tell me you shouldn't get more goods. This should be a tough AA, but the Great window is so massive, it's not.
schlagwerk [A] - it honestly feels like it has the same timing window as Voltage to me, just on a more straightforward chart. My rivals list have like...identical scores on this lol
Luv 2 Feel Your Body - Same as Ave De Rapina, only it's two-step so it's still a tough AA.
fly through the night - i can't seem to scoree as well as I feel i should on this.


8's i've AAA'd that you haven't played/should work on:

bit mania [A] - has a section you'll break combo on, but otherwise is really easy to time. Like, seriously, if you can't AAA this, you should adjust your timing window.
Fly Above [A] - Come on. Don't make me screenshot my rivals, who granted, are pretty much all way better than me.
Miracle 5ympho X [H] - I don't really remember this chart much, but you don't have a score on it.
Alstroemeria [H] - Just an excuse to play this again, song is so fun~
The Smile Of You [A] - Take what I said about bit mania's timing, put that here...except my score isn't as good as it should be. Still, you're my only rival without a AAA on this.

8's/9's on [A] you should play just cause:

Journey to Fantasica - Cause SSD
ECHOES - Cause 9th Style
tablets - cause :V
KI-SE-KI - Always been one of my favorite charts. No idea why.

EVO66
HIGH - lol

mmmmm :3

Oh man, Hotel Dusk is such a good game. It uses the DS's features so well.

In FFX, get Haste on as many characters as possible, (and have them cast on as many characters as possible), and get Yuna's Elemental Absorb abilities. You do not want to hit the final battle and not have these abilities. One of the nice things about X's battle system, which the game doesn't go out of its way to tell you, is that your characters can get multiple turns before the enemy gets one if you build and buff them correctly. This becomes the difference between life and death against the final boss.

Also, keep in mind that game kind of works on a variation on Lufia's system, where every character in your party is considered "in the battle," but only those actually on the screen take damage. So you can (and should) switch characters out at will. So if an enemy is charging up an attack, switch out a character who can take the hit, or a character who is buffed with an ability that can absorb that type of attack. You can also swap in characters to deal damage when the field is safe, then switch them out again so they don't get squishified. I actually quite liked X's battle system and wish they had continued using it, but, alas, the PS2 is where Square apparently decided "We need to reinvent Final Fantasy with EVERY TITLE from now on!" Dumbasses.

It was indeed a blast, even if we didn't see each other much.

Also, lol DJ Jeff

Little Little Princess I can see, it's not too hard to botch the ending. Logic Board, though...i don't even know what to say.
