Reason I had never tried Dance Dance Revolution before, thinking my city didn't have any arcades with DDR machines, until I found out it did on a gaming map. During the holidays, I mostly stayed at home chatting with friends, rarely going out except for a trip to Shanghai in mid-July for BilibiliWorld 2023. Chatting with friends, I noticed many were playing DDR DX, so I decided to try it. I grabbed my phone, changed clothes, and headed straight to the arcade by subway. Experience Being a first-timer with no prior research or experience, I was at a loss when a stranger at the machine gestured for me to join. Thankfully, helpful friends in the group chat came to the rescue. The arcade had both DX and orange frames, with DX being crowded and orange frames largely ignored. I started with beginner charts, then moved on to medium difficulty and speed charts (7 - 9), managing decently with most charts on August 19 having accuracy above 90%. I didn't wear gloves as they made it hard to control the screen and my hands rarely sweat. My only pair of earphones with a 3.5mm jack was also broken.
