Re: FFR's Newest Deaf Player

My name is eMVy, I am completely deaf and I have been all my life.
I love to make music even though I have never been able to hear it myself.
I love playing FFR and Stepmania, I've just never made an account.
But, here I am, I hope we can be friends!

Your story is very inspiring.

Re: FFR's Newest Deaf Player

solo lol

or pop'n music or iidx

edit: although one tricky thing is that simfiles often vary patterns around a core central idea to prevent it from getting too repetitive; you'd have to guess from the context if it's being changed because the music is changing or to keep it varied

I have heard of Solo, but I've never figured out how to play it.
And I figured that much, and that lack of repetitiveness is what causes my inability to deduce the pattern of which the song is going by.

I appreciate the compliment Adamaja, thank you for the warm welcome.

Well, I suppose I am a case in which it goes to show that anyone can do anything they set their mind to.

Re: FFR's Newest Deaf Player

I have a deaf friend who plays Stepmania -- she can't hear any music but can obviously feel the bass.

Do you know ASL at all? You should drop by the VC sometime

Welcome to FFR

Welcome to FFR

I do know some signs, but I mainly rely on reading lips.
I will also look into getting a web cam for the video chat here.
So far everyone is a lot nicer than I expected, I will be more active now than ever.

Re: FFR's Newest Deaf Player

for solo you need to download stepmania, change the key configuration to something like q = left w = upper left e = down i = up o = upper right p = right, add songs under the songs folder such that the hierarchy goes Songs/Group Folder/Song Folder/files and then just run it and when you play a game hit right once to go to solo mode. if you're downloading packs then extract to the songs folder, if you're downloading a single song folder extract it to a group folder you make. few other things too like turning event mode on, the menu timer off, adding cmods to the metrics (or downloading a theme that already has cmods set up, like maybe one of xiao's themes?)
packs and singles for solo are here, xiao's beginner packs are obv. the ones to get for beginners

if you haven't looked at pop'n music before this might be interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0Usi-RBXoc the third song in this is highly erratic but first, second and fourth are fairly well defined (also the song name genre and background give contextual hints :ssh: )

Pop'n Music looks like such an amazing rhythm game to play... Too bad it isn't in America much... And thank you very much for the information on Solo, I am going to start playing that very soon!

Awesome.

I assume you meant Play instead of Place, but my favorite stepfile in all of FFR is Air.sul G iRock.

Re: FFR's Newest Deaf Player

Welcome dude, just one questions -

Why do you make music if you cant hear it? Thats like painting and not seeing it.

you're an asshole. It's something he enjoys. That's why he does it. A flaw in someones persons doesn't mean they are not allowed to partake in activities. I for one am glad ambitious people like him are doing what they do.
edit. deaf people also have a high sense of feeling. oh btw. Beethoven was deaf as well. but he stuck his head the the piano and played and felt the music. The best music is felt not heard

Speaking of which, there's a thread dedicated to Solo files and discussion.

Ah, albaneesk8r, as he was out of line in saying that, I am quite used to it and didn't take any offense. He was simply curious as to how it is done, because he does not know what it's like to be without a single sense. And I appreciate your saying that, it does mean a lot.

[i love you]
