Got my little ball babies courtesy of @thepoppetry.bsky.social and @poki-art.bsky.social ❤️

A kaiden I can pass… finally!

I mean ARCADES!
I’ll send you a DM 💪

To be clear… I’m in the UK, and so this advertisement - exclusively for a US chain of locations - is not at all applicable to me 😂😭

That being said - I’ve spoke to a lot of rhythm game people in Poland recently!
You’ve got some communities out there!

What universe are we living in that I’m seeing advertisements for pop’n music… on Facebook… in English…

Can see it in the back of this classic homecade photo 😁

Correct - this was the monitor I had back in the day 😎

Got an original Dancing Stage marquee a good while back, and as cool as it is… I’ve always wanted an original DDR marquee to complete my JP 573 collection…

Turns out adamaniax has a similar story… but he has a JP DDR marquee and needs an EU DS marquee

And so the trade is done 😎

🌈

The brown cat is actually called “Mimi” - because “Nyami” didn’t roll off the tongue quite as well 🙃

Bro wtf is this?!?
Where’s my FigluBubu!!!

The inevitable result of having a big home arcade meetup…

Many cats on cabs moments.

I got a LOT of stuff from Italy that day 🫣

I found it in my house!! 😏

…which is where I put it once I found it in a warehouse in Italy a few years back, alongside a treasure trove of other rare stuff (pop’n stage, dancemaniax, dance 86.4, etc.)

Only if yours is cooler 🫣

But of course 😉

And there’s yet more to come 👀💦

First time I’ve turned on every* machine in the house since 2024!!!

Finally ready for the big meetup this weekend 😎🥳

* ok so, the second puzzle and dragons decided to die on me, and the second groove coaster needs a lot of work still… close enough!

It almost feels wrong to have taiko skins this… white.

Also new (old) marquee!

Hey. Vsauce.

I will provide a fan…

Extremely important upgrade… DDR seating.

un-bandais your taiko

Before and after!

Removing an old bleached sticker to reveal an even older yet significantly less bleached sticker beneath!

Don’t suppose anyone has an ongeki bright marquee they wanna sell me?

Mine got a little… separated 😭

You should see the other rooms 😅

Finally finished 🥳

Really happy with the final result - easily the nicest pads I’ve ever played on.
Fully working proper readers… original marquee… new PC…

Can finally DDR!

Too sensitive?

Turning OFF ecomode for the photo op

Cabinet part is 100% finished now… just waiting on parts for the pads now.

Soon.
