Hey guys, sorry I haven't been streaming or uploading.

I don't usually like to talk about personal matters, but I wanted to share this. My world was shattered when I heard the news my best friend for the past 25 years suddenly passed away. I grew up very closely with him and his family treated me as family. I still can't fully comprehend this situation. I feel broken and lost knowing he is no longer in my life.

He also was the person who got me into DRR in the first place. I used to go over his home to play DDR in his basement on soft mats. We would play 1st mix and Konamix with his older brother. That's what encouraged me to buy my own setup and eventually move to playing at the arcade.

I'm back in the USA now to attend his funeral which will take place over the next two days. I may not be a religious person but if you could share support or prays in this time, I would appreciate it.

It will take me some time to get over this, and I hope DDR can help me cope.


If you read this far, thank you. Rest in peace Robby, you will always be my best friend.

Coming back soon, for real.

I know I keep saying I'll be back soon, but I can't help that lockdowns are continuing to be extended here.

While some arcades are open at limited capacity or appointment, my main/favorite arcade I stream at has remained closed for nearly 5 months. Well I'm tired of waiting so I will start exploring new places to play and stream.

I actually have quite a few videos I haven't uploaded. Some were before lockdowns I never got around to uploading while others are more recently and we're done offline. I'll be scheduling them and uploading them over the next week while I find a more permanent solution to resume streaming. Please bear with me, I want to come back ASAP.

Hey guys, it's been a while, huh? A long while indeed. Feels like months without a proper DDR live stream.

This is all because of lockdowns, and reopening has constantly been pushed back.

With that said, I think things are slowly opening up and live streams should be happening again. Recently some arcades have allowed making appointments to play and I've been playing hear and there. So far my favorite/streaming arcade hasn't opened up in any way yet, but I think it will soon, so I'm excited to get back to streaming.

Hang in there everyone, I'll be back on the grind soon.

Hey everyone, it's been a while. I think most of you know, but for those who don't, I haven't been streaming lately because Taiwan is currently under level 3 lockdown since a recent spike in Covid cases and businesses like arcades have been closed. It's been boring and I'm probably losing my competitive edge, but it's all necessary for safety. I hope the lockdown ends soon and perhaps I'll start streaming other things until then.

In other news, June is here which means so is pride month. I hope you are all finding ways to celebrate and give back to the communities in pride. Personally, I found a new crypto currency that was created to help donate to LGBTQI+ charities. So if you are like me and wanna support, then check them out. dick.foundation/

Sorry about all the technical difficulties as of late during my streams. Really sucks tonight cause right after the stream cut out I got 8p on roppongi d, and my pc basically locked up so I don't think even the hard copy will save. =/
I'm hoping to buy a new laptop soon, it's gonna be expensive as hell, but I will find a way to scrounge up the cash and make it happen. Hopefully that solved our current issues.

Next stream is patreon requests. If you are a patreon, make your requests before it's too late! If you aren't, it's not to late! Become a patron today to submit songs for me to play next stream.

Hey everyone, hope you are all doing well and having a safe and fun weekend.

Just wanted to make a poll with a question that's on my mind and I wonder what others feel about it.

In terms of your scores, performance, and abilities, do you think your best days were in your past, or are your best days yet to come?

Hey everyone, doc here giving you an update.

Sorry I haven't been doing so many streams recently. There has been a lot of contributing factors. For instances, I'm just busy. More work recently and I've been involved in several side projects that takes away time for me to get out to the arcade I stream at.
With that said, I also want to change arcades. I don't want to keep going back to my home arcade. I keep feeling there is a better option so I'm exploring new places to play and setup my stream. I haven't found it yet, but this is a large reason I haven't been streaming.
I'll let you know when I find it and hopefully we can resume more frequent streams soon.

Happy new year everyone. Hope you're all well and are enjoying the more frequent upload schedule and improved editing thanks to Len.

Unfortunately I have come down with pneumonia so I might be be playing for several days. I'm hoping for a speedy recovery and then I'll come back and do the public request stream.

Hey everyone, hope you are all doing well.
Sorry I haven't streamed in over a week, this wasn't my intention. Since last weekend, I've been having massive sleeping issues which make it nearly impossible to play. I'm working on fixing it now and hope to be back with a normal stream schedule soon. With that said.
1. I'm going to the arcade now to stream! Hope I do alright after nearly a week off.
2. I've decided to auction off some my KAC memorabilia. If you are at all interested, visit my post on Facebook and make a bid.

August has been a month of ups and downs. I think I'm finally getting the care I need for my knee and on the road to healing. I will share more on my knee in the coming weeks.
But with the good also comes the bad. The new arcade I've been playing at closed down. They were going to relocate near my old arcade, however I recently learned they won't be taking their DDR machine to the new location so that sucks.
I'll probably start playing again at my old arcade going forward.
Like I said, bad news keeps coming, and this one is costly. I spilt some liquid on my laptop last week. It has caused lots of problems and now it's in the shop for repairs. Likely the motherboard is damaged and can not be repaired, it will likely need to be replaced which I lod you not, could cost $500+.

So ya... A few good for quite a few bad, currently not looking like a fair trade.
So don't be surprised if there are a lack of streams.
