I played Maximum Overdrive until I got the FC. 218/27/0/0/0/7 = 477.

In celebration of Brexit, let's play Living in America this week.

Or was that in celebration of Independence Day...? Let's say that this is in celebration of English-speaking countries that do not play well with others!

Merk, MonMotha,

Would one of you like to pick a song for this week?

Are we doing singles or doubles? I can't remember. Singles is sort of working for me but doubles is still pretty inconsistent.

Uhhhhh I guess it's the week of Evo so let's do Tsugaru

We hadn't decided to go back to singles, but we can if you want to and if MonMotha has no objection. But be warned that I will chide you relentlessly if we switch to singles and you don't start playing again. :P

I logged a very beatable 596 for Living In America tonight. That's > 50 points lower than the score I had in SoS from last year. I was playing terribly, but at least I played.

I added your score to the OP. I also recorded a slightly improved So Fabulous So Fierce score for myself. I was able to improve by 2 to 493.

Finally played some didder, and I went ahead and installed Extreme so I could play the song I picked a couple weeks ago. Got 692 FC on Still In My Heart Momo Mix.

Merk? Merk?

Are you coming back to this...ever? If not, MonMotha and I can just start our own and stop bothering you about this one.

Singles it is. Please let us know when you get your doubles working again.

Played some last night...

Improved So Fabulous So Fierce to 498. I keep blowing the first 16th note bit. I was getting it before, but I think I'm overthinking it now and I keep missing a step. At least my overall score improved.

I improved Living In America substantially to 674. I guess I really was just way off the other day since that's a +78 DP improvement. MonMotha is still winning by a lot, but at least I feel vaguely in the ballpark now.

Finally, I played Tsugaru as a single and got a 671. Not awesome, but not wretched.

Meanwhile, Stay On Sync seems busted. If I enter a score, it sits and spins for a long time and eventually (after several minutes) returns an error. If I had scores for that song, they get wiped out. :/ So not only is it not updating, it seems to be destroying data.

Played Tsugaru and got 694 - just barely a AA.
