It's alright dude! Just play stepmania for the fun of it! You'll get better, I'm sure!
Lies.
Stepmania is like a job, except it's more serious, because you don't get paid, so all the rewards come from the playing itself. And the posting of your scores on websites.
You have to treat it like a sport, or learning an instrument, or like exercising. You dedicate your life to it. You spend the first hour of playing warming up, then you work on your speed or timing for a couple of hours. And when your arms are too tired to take any more, you take a break, and a shower, and then you rest for a while and start over again. And you do that every day.
Stepmania is serious business.
And before anyone asks, yeah, I'm passing my classes and keeping my GPA-related scholarships, and I have a smidgen of a social life.
