At the time I am writing this, half of my screen is a Finance assignment due within one week consisting of 10 long-ass question.
But that can wait (a little). This is more important.
Did a little quick flip across the thread to find my first post here:
p/1672962At that time I wasn't this into Taiko, I was just going to get the Kantan/Futsuu charts and get out of here and making my Future Lab mapset ranked.
Not sure why I stayed until now, but I did stay until now and that's what matters more.
In fact at the very beginning (4 years ago we're talking) I got into Taiko only because of the dress-up in DS1.
I always liked dress-up and costume and stuff, and music game are possibly the only genre I am appealed to and actually good at
(I had played through Ouendan1/E/2 and Rhythm Tengoku then. Also all the further exposure in the osu! community)
So Taiko quickly rose to one of my favourites along the DS softwares. I even bought DS2 and DS3 legit.
A bit later I started searching YouTube for more Taiko gameplay, but mostly sticking to the current era (Wii1 and Wii2)
At that time I play Taiko only casually. I can play easier Oni charts, but not aiming to train hard to raise the bar
But then there is this one thing about me liking certain games - it quickly cools down and I kinda rarely touch them anymore.
That cycle usually won't last more than half a year. Just ask Picross 3D, Grand Chase, Ouendan and... erm... yeah.
Taiko was almost going down the drain given I have reached my natural best at clearing 8* Oni (gen2 level)
Until now. For 7 months straight I have been growing fonder and fonder of Taiko.
At the beginning I was only working on my favourite maps for myself to play, to now a
fully-fledged workable site of maps
I wouldn't have done it without you guys encouraging ("mapping machine" etc. Also my
OCD of not liking things incomplete)
Also I actually train for getting better now. From that sad point of I cannot see 5-hit mixed cluster readily to now I can deal with medium-speed longer streams.
I even started to go regularly to arcades for Taiko now.
I gotta say, as far as I go, you guys did a great job converting me to Taiko
Well you guys did also convert me to bemani somehow but stillOK so much for the sappy post. Now to
totally forget the finance assignment and map some stuff
PS. Lokamp I forgot your Assault BGM1 map. Sorry there.
