I feel like I’ve been absolutely frying my brain playing this game. I’m trying to get really good scores on like high ranking maps and like last night I got to the point where I could consistently SSS 13-13+ master charts after like 5-8 tries. However, I always follow this pattern of like being really good, going to sleep, and then the next time I play I’m absolutely horrid, like I get several hundred lates on level 10s. And then it takes me 2-4 hours just to get back to my regular skill. I’ve been playing for like 7-9 hours straight just to be able to get back to quickly getting good scores on harder charts, but now I don’t know if I’m actually getting good at the game or if I’m just using exhaustion/adrenaline as a crutch. How long am I supposed to be playing the game for at a time? Should it really take me that long per session to get good at the game?
First of all, let me start off by saying that every cloud gaming service I’ve ever tried has been complete and utter dogshit. Not like "oh no its 720p what will I do" I mean complete fucking dogshit. 3s+ delay and like 4 fps.
It also just feels like another blatant push for the "you will own nothing and be happy" lifestyle that corporations seem to love so much. I mean 20-40 years ago, they were working on bring video game consoles into every household, and now they wanna take that away again just so they can nickel and dime you for every fucking penny you have and leave you with nothing when you're done.
It also just pisses me off so much that they get to directly profit off the increase in prices of computer hardware and game consoles. I mean the PS5 and Steam deck and etc have recently shot up several hundred dollars. PC and laptop prices are out of control with literally ever component shooting up in price. I have a crack theory that data centers and cloud gaming companies are secretly in on it together, in which data centers buy up all the pc parts and drive prices up, ensuring the ability for the average consumer to own their own stable machine decreases, thus forcing them to pay for cloud gaming services. All so that you can own nothing. I'm probably mad at the wrong person here but still, fuck you cloud gaming services.
Basically the maps where they have sections that are like a 4 lane rhythm game, where it’s just tap notes coming at you. I really need to practice that kind of gameplay because I’m so bad at getting it on time or even hitting it.
I want to feel like I’m doing good but I’ve historically been shit at every game I’ve played, so I feel like this is either a fluke or everyone can easily progress this fast. Are my scores normal? Should I keep playing this or play harder/easier? Some of these were practiced and some like fluffy flash were sightreads
Edit: Just got my first master AJ SSS+! It was on King
Long story short, I have a tasoller and when I use it, my family allegedly can hear it throughout the entire house. I don't want to subject them to this, so what are some of the best ways to dampen the audio of the tasoller? I have tried putting it on a thick yoga mat and that worked a bit, but I want to get it quieter if possible.
Is the calculus Clep hard? I felt like I did really really bad and then ended up with a 65. The questions were really weird sometimes but I felt like the curve was crazy maybe idk. I’ve never taken a Clep before and I only took it bcuz I took AP Cal AB but the scores would come out way later than I needed them (needed them by mid June to figure out if I needed to take a summer class or not).
I have genuinely been looking for hours, but everything is just so bullshit. The PDF's are just random 70 questions with no distinction, the CollegeBoard examiam thing, even when I paid for it out of desperation, is just random flashcards, and no site I have ever found has ever had more than like 5 questions at a time. I just want to take a practice test for the love of god thats accurate to the real one, but at this point I am starting to think it doesn't exist. Someone please help me out.
