I got my first #BeatSaber injury in March! I strained my left pec playing a fast and unfamiliar song, and goddamn that shit hurt. I'm not entirely pain-free yet, but I dutifully spent five weeks unable to do *any* of my normal workouts. 😭 Today was my first day being able to play some light BS.

My new favorite warmup is "Bubble Tea" by dark cat (mapped by roeek: https://beatsaver.com/maps/13e9). The blocks aren't fast, but the patterns aren't trivial, either, and the song is cute. I tossed my full playthrough up, because fuck it, it's Friday: https://irrsinn.video/w/kEB9KDbaweRSWN3cbgEggk I think I missed more cross-body swings than I hit there, but better that than reinjuring my chest. πŸ˜…


I decided to resume deliberately improving my #BeatSaber skill, and picked the Camellia remix of 100$ Bills (7.87 NPS) because I like it on Expert.

...Prolly not going to be what I stick with. πŸ˜… It's a little outside my zone of proximal development, as Dr. Lucy would say, and oof, all the jangliness in the song gets to me after a while.

Anyway, I finished both Dr. Stone and Hunter x Hunter recently, so my rec is Joetastic's map of the Dr. Stone opening song "Paradise": https://beatsaver.com/maps/1d510


One of my partners got a Quest recently. I've been pulling #BeatSaber recs for them, so I should put them here, too!

I've been playing a lot of OST 6 (E+ "Cathedral" and "Lift Off" are my fav kinds of maps), but a map that's very fun at X/E+ is "Grant Green" by Mr Jukes: https://beatsaver.com/maps/94e0 It does a great job of being mapped pretty tightly to the drums, but not making the mistake some rock maps do of having too many downstroke-only segments in an attempt to mimic playing drums.

No matter how good I get at something like #BeatSaber, I don't think my brain will ever not break at the idea of tapping out a polyrhythm (ref: https://youtu.be/Ez8Q68h9i4M?t=413) Like... two rhythms, potentially sustained? keeping count?? looking cool and calm??? Nah.

Anyway, Larnell Lewis is a delightful drummer and you should listen to his stuff if you like #jazz fusion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd1X5JWaGgQ (original work) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd_UcjMusUA (him trying Metallica on for size) are fun.

Got in a little 15-20 minute session of #BeatSaber for the first time since fucking up my back a week and a half ago. 😀 Felt pretty good, and although I didn't play any fitbeat maps (I was trying to be gentle!), I did play "CANDYYYLAND", which... was prolly a bit much.

Still recommend that song. It feels great to play: https://bsaber.com/songs/294c/
