do you think gikopoi needs anything?

Other than that, I can't think of anything other than click-avatar-to-ignore. Maybe there was a new way to ignore people I didn't see.

How do you make your speech bubble disappear? If I say something it floats forever,

I claim this board in the name of rhythm games!

Friday Night Funk? I tried that one for the heck of it and I can't really enjoy the DDR-style inputs which I assume is the same thing as Stepmania. Stylized inputs like here in Theatrhythm (3DS) or the Vocaloid games let me ramp up the difficulty, and they also seem far more attuned to the song. I think too many supposed rhythm games just throw out a billion inputs for difficulty and it's not even related to the song at that point.

I like to sometimes play with Stepmania. Using the keyboard, with only two index fingers. I'm not good at it either, I have to set it so that the arrows come at a constant speed because I just can't adjust to speed changes, not even across songs but especially not during songs.

Caught my in an instant >>66. I stumbled on FnF and tried it out in curiosity, then quickly heard about Stepmania in discussions about that game.
Stepmania being an open source game that relies on its community for content, I had to do some digging to find songs and maps that weren't aggressively technical. Even maps said to be easy often opened up with a dense flood of notes I couldn't read. After finding appropriately newbie friendly stuff, I was actually able to start learning common patterns and how maps are built.

It seems, for Stepmania in this case, the notes are set to some part of the song, it's just that designers often pick parts of the song that have a bunch of notes to play, especially for hard songs, but this is still true in "easy" songs. I have a mechanical keyboard, so I can actually hear the stuff I play matching with the song...though this doesn't make it anymore welcoming.
With all that said, I ended up having fun, and my interest in the genre increased.

I'm kind of taken aback to find that there is a controversy about whether this is a rhythm game or not. I shouldn't be surprised given this is the internet, but it seems to bring some genuine annoyance out of some people.
