I finished hard on the easiest song in Rift of the NecroDancer (and rank C, not the worst rank D). I can never be better than this. It's done!

For clarification, this comes from a guy who only plays easy and still has difficult with the bottom half of the songs. And struggle with medium. Hard was never even on the "plan".

To be fair, too full after dinner to have anything else...

My experience with Yakuza's karaoke might have made be overconfident. The game starts with calibration both audio and video cues. And I thought it was just a matter of pressing at roughly the right time. Third song, they already throw multiple key presses at the same time (but not all start and end at the same time!)

This game may have been too much for my green rhythm game experience.

Edit: best so far is rank 492 with "Ultra Creepy" on Easy. It's probably not going to get any better.

I forgot to lock the door this morning, again.

Every move is made within a second. Can't even understand what's going on as a viewer, how come players do it?

Not a lot but definitely better. So far beaten up to Widow without any cheat. Though I did have to stay (mostly) in a corner for Widow's second phase. Too much on screen to track. It's probably Wander crest that kept me alive.

Moorwing still took the most tries and finished him with one HP. Sister Splinter first try. Let's see how I fare at Last Judge.

PS. Umm.. NoDoubleDamage.dll was still on, so no double damages. That probably helped.

Even with that I beat most of the bosses which is a sharp improvement over the last time. The only "too much" bosses are Savage Beastfly 2 and Lace 2. Um.. perhaps Grand Mother Silk, haven't tried. Didn't dare try First Sinner, Shakra or the lava brothers.

A 17 year old kid won champion in 2024. Two years later, an "old" kid, 20 years old, won Candidates 2026 to challenge him. Even if we won, he would not be the youngest champion ever. Gukesh on the other hand could gain an unfortunate record: youngest champion defeat.

I don't even play chess! A tournament of grandmasters, commentated by grandmasters or international master. Zero idea what's going on.

Learned that semi-hard way. While ACPI hooks still run, e.g. to hibernate the system on pressing power button. Upon resuming, it continues to... shut down.

It turns out, according to some random comment on the internet, and logind.conf, many ACPI events are intercepted by elogind as well. So doing this works, without messing around with acpid

HandlePowerKey=hibernate

Not exactly sure how acpid is bypassed in this case though, because the defaut script will still try to power the thing off. Oh well, not curious enough to find out.
