I know, this isn't the best performance by me in this song. I didn't get silver and I didn't even beat my previous best, but what I lacked in skill during this playthrough I feel like I made up in gusto by the sheer fact that sections of this are difficult to tell what the hell's going on because the screen (ie, the Quest 2 headset) is shaking so damn much. That's not good television there, but it I feel the energy does come across. Tell me that that doesn't come across when the blast beats start at 3:45. And you know, despite only getting a bronze on this attempt, I nailed a few sections like 2:07 - 2:40 and 2:50 - 3:03. I can be proud of that.
A little bit of additional context for this video was that I first tried three songs that had been added to Ragnarock that I hadn't played yet, and I started to record an attempt on those songs, but I just bombed it. Each one on the middle difficulty was absolute garbage, so I thought I would play "Rise Again" again since I love Equilibrium, and this playthrough did lift my spirits a lot. I just can't help but smile for the majority of the song. Even if I end up missing eight of 1,319 beats.
