@BorrisInABox At least on latest version of sequoia, it seems to be slightly better, but I haven't really configured anything. I have to use it a lot more for classes now, so I'll look into getting TDSR to hopefully make the experience less painful and more enjoyable. Sometimes I think I should've just stuck with music production, got my masters in that rather than CS, but here we are.

@the_spc The bop it extreme2 is based off the Bop It extreme. It's different in a few main ways. In the bop it extreme, when you turn it on, you get 4 modes accessed by the pull it, which are vox bop, vox bop solo, beat bop, and beat bop solo. On the bop it extreme2, you have a new mode added to these for each, one on one, in and vox bop/beat bop are now called vox bop pass it and beat bop pass it. You also now toggle between vox bop and beat bop with the flick it. So for example, pulling it would start with vox bop pass it, vox bop one on one, and then vox bop solo. It then would loop back around to vox bop pass it. If you press the flick it, it would then say beat bop, and then it would be on the last mode you were on for vox bop, but instead now in beat bop. And it would now say beat bop pass it, etc.
Another main difference is that instead of the beat being the same the entire time, the bop it extreme2 cycles between four unique beats. The game does not speed up after each command, but rather, after reaching the last beat and wrapping back around to the first, it then speeds up slightly. Each beat runs for 16 commands, at which point the next beat starts with it's start sequence. It also alternates between two pass it melodies, if in pass it mode. It uses the first melody for beats 1 and 3, and the second for beats 2 and 4.
In addition to this, each beat also has it's own sequence that it plays if the user loses on solo.
Finally, in beats 1 and 2, a separate beat sequence is played whenever the user performs a twist it command.

"Last August, Adam Thomas found himself wandering the dunes of Christmas Valley, Oregon, after a chatbot kept suggesting he mystically 'follow the pattern' of his own consciousness. Thomas was running on very little sleep—he’d been talking to his chatbot around the clock for months by that point, asking it to help improve his life. Instead it sent him on empty assignments, like meandering the vacuous desert sprawl. He’d lost his job as a funeral director and was living out of a van, draining his savings, and now he found himself stranded in the desert."

OH FUCK WE'RE COOKED

THEY GOT OUR LEADER

'Feds Identify “Leader of #Antifa”

Twenty-nine year old Chandler Patey has been regularly protesting outside his local #ICE facility in South Portland for months, offering up his apartment to fellow #protesters to use the bathroom or wash off pepper spray, according to local news.

To the #DHS, “he is the leader of Antifa in #Portland, #Oregon.”'
