I’m half joking. But as a 30-something who used to be very active, I recognize I’m over the hill and my joints sound like pop rocks

DDR, Stepmania X, and Pump It Up are awesome and I very highly recommend! If you don’t have easy access to an arcade near you, you can download Stepmania and play on the PC. If you don’t have a pad to hook up to the PC, you can turn on Autoplay and just pretend that there’s a pad under you. You can also just pretend there’s a pad under you while you watch a youtube video (or whatever other platform if they’re there).
Highly agree, I play all of those games and they’re all quite fun. I have stepmaniax pads setup for home play with stepmania/outfox/itgmamia.
That is a dream for me. Thowe pads are the best from what I hear, but they’re so expensive! I haven’t tried itgmania, just mainly stepmania. Tried outfox a long time ago, though it might be different now and I should probably give that another shot.
Do you have any customization on your StepManiaX pads? You can do stuff with the patterns it shows when pressing a panel, yeah?
Oh absolutely true about smx pads being expensive. I got mine both 2nd hand from fb marketplace at a bit of a discount.
Outfox just released a new major update that fixes a lot of things but I would say they still have a good amount of work to do. They’re trying really hard to modernize stepmania and so far they have some impressive results. For me I like that they support much higher frame rates than stepmania which pairs well with my 144hz monitor.
For my smx pads I did make custom arrows that change when pressed. I didn’t do any of the fancy gif ones but they’re not hard to make/use. They have software that you can use to edit the pad’s LEDs and the underglow.
Probably the best feature of the smx pads is being able to set custom ranges for sensor sensitivity. I can basically control the definition of an arrow press which is pretty handy
