Is super battleworn insomniac supposed to be easy (Rhythm dr)

I’m VERY bad at rhythm games. I could barely beat any of act 4 on easy. It definitely took me over 40 tries to beat the act one boss. But when I got to the end of act 4 and did super battle worm insomniac I managed to beat it first try only missing a few beats. Did I get lucky or is it a common consensus that it’s not a hard level?

MASH VP! Re:VISION update released with new Ghost Battle mode & additional songs

https://x.com/AXTORM_EN/status/1868600623639454004

It's still in early access, but the game from Axtorm Japan just dropped a significant update with several new songs and a battle mode focused on competing with the "ghost" scores of friends and random players. There are several of quality of life changes as well, it's quickly ramping up towards full release.

What is the Proper Way to Play Rhythm Games with Multiple Fingers on a Phone?

I've been playing rhythm games for about a month now, mainly Cytus II and Milthm on my iPhone, using only my thumbs. However, I'm struggling with higher difficulty levels. Some songs get so overwhelming that, even though it's theoretically possible to play them with just thumbs (or so I think), I can't keep up at all—especially when there are rapid notes coming from opposite sides of the screen, combined with drag or hold notes.

Because of this, I’m thinking about practicing with more than two fingers, but I’m unsure how to position my hands or how to hold my phone. Should I still hold it in my hands, or would it be better to place it on a flat surface? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

How would you play in this controller?

i had a dream a while ago about going to arcade and since i've never went to one, i messed up some of the machenes. This is most memorable one because after i woke up i immediately realized it was compleately wrong. It's was not only not IIDX, but also badly designed.

After thinking like 20 min i desided on my playstyle - 3. "True way"

[Paradigm: Reboot] any secret charterer unlocks?

found out that you can unlock a character/skin by playing a certain song with a certain collab character. Wanted to ask if there were other cases like this since it seems I'm missing the base version of certain charterers (Log, Corian, and I think Mariah and Yun as well as well)

Seeing how good people are makes me feel bad about myself

Please don’t immediately dismiss this post and tell me to go to a psychologist, I’ve already dealt with a lot in my life this year, and I’ve already talked to a psychologist about all of that, and I’m still working on it. This post is more so introspection, or something similar, I don’t know.

I’ve been playing rhythm games throughout my entire life on and off; one of the first games I had was Lego rock band on the ps3, lmao. These kinds of games are something I thoroughly enjoy, or should enjoy, and are something I usually play semi consistently

I was around 11 years old when I started playing osu, and kept at it for about a year or two before I just didn’t really get any enjoyment out it anymore. There certainly was a gap between that time and when I started playing vsrgs, but I was still decent, at least I thought I was

But now, every time I see someone on this subreddit post a clip of what I feel personally is a really hard chart, something I could only dream of beating, and people say it’s easy, it’s just something to learn, just something to work on in your playstyle, it makes me feel awful about myself and my skills. You’d think that for how influential music and rhythm games have been in my life I’d be better, but apparently not.

I still can’t really beat a 15 map on etterna with anything over a D or a C, I can’t beat any level over 25 in pjsk, for some reason every clone hero map I play has the most awful accuracy and I can’t tell if the problem is either me or the calibration, I can’t beat oni maps over 7 stars in taiko no tatsujin, and I genuinely don’t think I’ve managed to ever FC anything that’s not piss easy.

I genuinely don’t know what I’m doing wrong, and practice has become a time in which I just get miserable and start attacking myself for still being seemingly a beginner at something I’ve been doing for so long. It feels like the king of all cosmos from katamari damacy is in my mind telling me that it’s never good enough.

I don’t know if I’ll ever be good enough, and I don’t know if I can be anything better than my worst moments

Edit: thanks for the comments, everyone. I’ll try to do some self reflection and think of this with a clearer head
