Re: snapps ama
my mentality when making the first pack was to make sure that the songlist flowed. i remember in later packs (i think i only did this is kbc1, mayyybe 2) i wanted to cut songs that had too many letters, or had started with a specific letter (such as a, b, c) if there was already too many songs with that letter. these things threw off the vibe. its all a weird subconscious thing. i thought about how many songs were classics, how many were brand new, and what artists I was giving more and less attention to (unlike kbc2 where it was like all exige). I knew kbc3 wasn't going to be great when i finished it because I didn't have full control. it was all 100% new. it had its own vibe of its own that was different.
i made sure to have all of the files on heavy, all of them had cdtitles, all of them were complete, as well as other little things here and there. it's something you don't pay attention to, but it really finalizes things and pushes yours as well as others mindset to already be thinking a certain way that I want.
of course, you never know how people are thinking. you can just assume.
anyway, this is what i think a lot of packs lacked, and a lot of packs shined without realizing it. kbmp was a great example. some songs/charts are bad, but it was how it was constructed that worked.
it sort of made me think about analyzing the outcomes of life situations before they happened and how to prevent or proceed with them. it's more difficult to use in life situations, but its easier for a stepmania community because you assume you already knew the stepmania background and what most people thought when playing stepmania during that era.
yeah that was long i realize. i never talked about this to anyone so i felt sharing is always great.
haha gonna sound goofy, but i liked pokemon snap. ended up using snap once on a random website? changed it up to snappz because you know, z in the 90s was cool. outgrew the z in a few months.
i don't like using snapps anymore. i did love the idea that my name was one syllable, just like an average american name. my handle on anything nowadays is "ngqp".
