My mother is from Indonesia (and since she has relatives there, I visit them every now and then and hence can speak a bit). I see her as hardworking but at the same time a little too over-independent. If possible, she does not want to ask others for help.

As for my father, well, he’s stubborn, at least in the fact that he wants to run a business. Born in Vietnam, apparently he ran cross-country and now he cooks for a living (in a restaurant). Apparently, my mom says that he is not helping to pay the bills at the moment (phone, electricity, and others).

Both had parents that would not hesitate to spank their children if misbehavior arose. My mom still hits my little brother at times, when it comes to talking back.

yes I am, i'm just wondering through the forums like I usually do

What's your most painful experience?

I broke my wrist once.

What is the origin of your username?

I wanted a name that'd actually fit me. Something that'd have meaning behind it that helped to describe me. I wanted something I could be comfortable with.

I came up with Achromalia. Achromatic (the lack of color) + Anomalia (spanish for "anomaly"). Achro-malia, or "an anomalous lack of color". I'm a rather detached person IRL. I feel like despite everyone supposedly being capable of strong emotion (color, in this context), I seem to lack that expressiveness in emotion (lack of color). I think of it to be an unusual trait or quality of mine that I have a mixed opinion of.

Though, as a recent producer name, I felt like changing it to something a bit more recognizably defined.

My Soundcloud and Discord accounts currently go under the name "Achomatism".

Do you fare well in any academic subjects? (e.g. Mathematics, English, etc.)

Well, History and English courses have always been fairly easy for me. I was able to take honors and advanced placement classes in those subjects and pass with relative ease. I performed quite well in Mathematics as well until I had this shitty pre-calc teacher. Big oof. However, now that that's in the past, I believe I'll be able to do as well as I once did in that subject.

For whatever reason, Science has always been my weak-point. Most people refer to it as the most interesting and fun subject of them all, but personally I don't find it too engaging. Not sure why, but I'm normally bored or confused in those classes. It may be because of my lack of enthusiasm for that subject that it's my poorest of the bunch. But who knows. I still do fine in those classes so it's whatevs.

What's the longest distance you've traveled in one run? Like, physically running.

Dinosaurs sings?

I don't know, never heard one even crying.

yes

Dinosaurs have TV shows?

I don't know if you remember or have ever heard of The Land Before Time series. Started off with movies and then somewhere down the line had a TV show. There are probably other dino TV shows out there that I'm missing but whatevs, I can't be bothered to think right now.

What's your preferred music genre?

Heavy Metal, sometimes Death Metal.

Same question.

Indie or jazz

Where do you see yourself in ten years?

probably in college


how has your week been?

from Sunday: I still have to get used to my school schedule

from last Tuesday: seems ok.

Been through any natural disasters?

yes but not that often. I remember having a hurricane once but it wasn't that severe. a few trees got damaged others got disconnected from their roots. other than that it wasn't too bad

What's your most painful experience?

My most painful experience was probably getting pepper sprayed by law enforcement grade pepper spray..

Story time! I used to work as a security guard a few years ago, so we all carried gear like that. Tasers, stun guns, batons, pepper spray, etc etc. So one night I got really drunk with all of my coworkers after work and I thought that it would be fun to get pepper sprayed! So I got a full dose of it straight into my eyes. It was the most sobering experience I've had. I was rolling on the floor, slamming the ground with my fist trying to distract myself from the pain in my eyes. I'm fairly sure that I nearly broke my hand from punching the ground and the wall so hard. It took nearly an hour for me to be able to open my eyes again. I was in pain for the rest of the night and the following days to come. Taking a shower the next morning was horrific, as all of the pepper spray that got into my hair came running down my face back into my eyes. It took a week for the pain and the swelling of my eyes to go away. Overall it was a fun experience and I'm glad I tried it.

What is your favorite recreational outdoors activity to do?

I suppose I enjoy hiking, even if I rarely if ever go outside. In the few experiences I've had hiking, I had some pretty nice experiences, save for that one time I got sick for a good 15 minutes and almost had to vomit. I recovered from it though and continued on my way, stopping at one place to draw the scenery. It relaxing, even if my body isn't so great at handling physical exertion.

Anything I consider “electronic”, though that is a wide spectrum. I prefer not to be specific in all honesty.

Australia or Indonesia, and why?

what in the fuck kind of question
Considering indonesia would execute me if I so much as stepped foot in their country, I think my answer is fairly obvious.

Westonini wrote:

What is your favorite drink?

Normally I'd say water, but you probably want something more interesting than that.
So instead:

I normally prefer the fruity sodas like Fanta, Squirt, etc. Preferably the orange flavored ones tho.

What's your current or planned major?

i don't know, actually.

i haven't found anything interesting to do that my school encourages/enforces, so there isn't really anything to major in for me.

how would you spend your last day living, if you planned for it?

If I knew when it is, it depends on what would be missing.
At the moment, I clearly still haven't spent a barbecue time with my friends.
But since I don't know, "method YOLO", screw around and do what I feel like having to do.

Right now, I'm really frustrated with life at home. My wifi network, even though it's private, decided to restrict all access to itself, and I'm not sure if my stepdad reset the entire thing, or if the internet provider is just being plain fucking stupid.

What do you plan on doing later?

Study for the PSAT, and hopefully streamline the amount of clubs that I’m in so I can do a good job with them.

Highest grade for any school semester/trimester/quarter? (whatever your school uses)

what do you mean by highest grade? for any class? at any time?

A+ (100%), I guess.



Is there something in particular you find enjoyable that helps get rid of your stress?

Posting here and playing osu! helps a lot in between studying.

No one wants to mod this because they don't like the song, so you might hate this

Forgot my question lol. The question is: have you considered becoming a Beatmap Nominator?

Nope.

Just a creator, if anything. Tho it would be nice if I could make multi-mode-in-one-song beatmaps, including IIDX/SDVX modes.

How tired are you right now?

I'm always tired, but to varying degrees.

It's not too bad right now. Tolerable.

Though I could use some rest.



How would you react to the death of all your loved ones? What would you do to keep yourself sane? Or would you even be sane at all?

I might have to leave school to get a job, but I would not have qualifications for higher-paying jobs, so this will be hard.

Emotionally, though, I have no idea, but I'll bet it'll be much worse than the worry about money. I wouldn't be sane at all.

How would you feel if modders trashed your map entirely? (I don't intend to offend anyone by saying this. It's just my question.)

I'll feel nothing about it, isn't my fault was asking random people for mods? xD

Giant Banana blocked your way and wants your money. Would you buy it?

Um, what? I don't know, I guess I'll buy it? I don't know how much it costs. I don't want it, anyway, so I guess I'll give it to someone who does.

How's school/work going for you?

Very good, especially today, because today is a day off.

What thing every girl wearing every day but takes off once a year? xD

Something relevant to a joke or antijoke that most likely isn't something I'd find remotely funny.

Do you have a specific memory in mind that you'd describe as "the shittiest you've ever felt" in your life? To what extent? Detail, if possible.

In the meaning of "a slight embarrassment", a choregraphy I (had to) performed with friends for PE's grades.
In the meaning of "alright, kill me, for real", my whole childhood ("until a bit before high schooll"); I may not remember every single detail, but for the major part of it, I wasted too much.

Not sure with what “this” specifies, but in general, yes.

Thoughts on BEMANI?

I love their games but I hate how strict they are about their property rights (I don't blame them tbh) and I wish they would bring some more of their KONAMI machines to the US.

What's your favorite thing to do?

Trying out ideas and winding up making some pretty decent music that I'd feel proud of.



Any particular music genres you find as your personal favorites?

Thoughts on studying abroad?

If I could get into that country with the school's help, maybe.
I rather need to trace a path for a "one player life".

If you could change one aspect of the world we live in, what would it be?

The lack of... Eh, I was thinking about "seats" as in, "recruiting working places". But maybe that's just because people don't want to waste money on other people that would end up being a wrong choice, I guess, so...
I'd like to erase the worldwide lack of money.

Restless Spirit wrote:

Are you "more than happy"?

no.

are your issues difficult to manage, deal with, or overcome?

Main issue right now is the lack of responsibility. I'm responsible IRL, but I procrastinate when it comes to modding maps or trying to map myself. Those are problems that I wouldn't say I struggle to manage, though.

What are you going to do tomorrow? (If you even know that in advance)

nothing, just binge watching some yt series

your best skills?

sleeping is my best skill :^)

your favorite youtuber?

BeasttrollMC or myself I don't have a favorite.

If the next person can answer this question, I will give them hugs and a year of osu!supporter.

How many times have I changed my avatar since I first posted in Forum Games?

I'm interested if there's osu!supporter, but I'm highly unlikely to win with my guess.

So far, I'm certain you've changed at least 2 times now. Initially it was Weiss, I believe? I dont remember what your next avatar was, you yet again changed to something else, then to something recent, then to this. I believe that's the timeline. It's possible you've also tested other avatars while looking for new ones to use. I dunno.

I'll take a really iffy guess with 4 changes in avatars.

Anything interesting you found out about yourself recently?

Yep. I've had 4 avatars since the time I first posted in FG. I actually had two avatars before that (one of them was when I posted my first map in like 6 queues and got rejected in every f**king one of them, and the other was with my second map which did get mods) but otherwise, yes. Basically, I've had 6 avatars. *hugs Achromalia*

The fact that I sometimes involuntarily alternate when I'm too bored and that sometimes I may just singletap a technical map.

How good are the mods I've given out in my queue? (If Jax is the next poster, he would definitely know)

Sorry, but I don't know.
I like Jax's dab, though.

What were you doing 5 minutes ago?

Watching YouTube and researching things about myself out of curiosity.



Would you consider yourself as someone reclusive?

I don't know / can't calculate it myself.
Here are some hints of me in the real world, do the maths:

Yunomi sounds nice, but so do YUC'e and Camellia.

What do you typically do for holidays?

Not much unless it's family oriented light christmas or thanksgiving. Halloween I stayed in and did nothing .

Do you even lift/workout?

Gym memberships are too expensive, the only time I can ever get to lift something heavy is at the school gym.

This one is for fellow mappers and modders out there. What's the big deal with WIP maps and why won't people mod them? Newer mappers especially need to know how their maps are in their current state to avoid making more mistakes when mapping the other difficulties.

I'm not a professional mapper but I've got quite experienced after months of practicing. people upload WIP maps for the sole purpose of getting help and advice from beatmap nominators or other experienced mappers. Maps don't just randomly get modded it requires you requesting a BN check to see for possible ways you can improve your map or just simply ask a friend who's good at mapping/modding. there are chats in-game specifically for this also due the number of maps that are being uploading every hour it would be tough to check all of them at one time so it would make sense. hope this answered your question.


What's the most emotional experience you ever had?

That can't be true for every case right? At least, that's not my intention. I would try to rank it. (If I could even do so)

When my father went to Australia for 2 months as part of his work, my mother struggled to get through her days and helping her hold herself together was getting to me too.

Should I change my avatar?

It's up to you if you want to change

Do you have license to drive a vehicle?

No, I can't drive

Like 90's music?

some 90's music, but some 90's remix of pop songs today are cool

do u like boba?

Don't drink tea that much, but I don't mind it.

I won't care. I'm not even making for Ranking.

How are your classes going? If you don't have classes, how's whatever your occupied doing going?

Classes are fine, but could be better. My grades are okay, but one could use some help. I'll occasionally work to get that one up.

Things are fine in general.

What's your thoughts on Splittercore as a genre?

Don't have too much experience with it tbh, but what I've heard is pretty okay I guess.

Be in the top 100 players in Singapore Get a good job and have a good family, but I'm still too young to imagine that.
