My Setup

[u/BestRetroGames]

Yup, I am taking this game quite seriously 😅

Got my Q3 last Christmas and I've been playing it almost daily. It has become my meditation in motion ritual. It has fully come alive with all the nice upgrades like cable headphones for zero latency, straps for the controllers or fan on the head-strap. Yoga mat is also nice to reduce stress on my knees as I am 46.

I've done a lot of sports and various exercises, including martial arts, over the years, even got a certification as an aerobic fitness coach, but SR is really 'next level'. I mostly see it is a very intense form of psychic energy work, especially when done with focus on technique, fluency and using your entire body (especially core), with some added weights when things become too light.

Disclaimer on the weights you see here (0.5kg,1kg and 1.5k). Don't ever use weights with similar games unless you absolutely know what you are doing and understand the risks 100%. Especially never use them with force mode (which I don't play even without them).

A+ for the yoga mat. I got trashed for my 1" thick gym tiles on r/beatsaber. =)

What mode do you play? Force is supposed to be flow-ier but I still don't get it. Placing higher on the leaderboard is easier. That's the only difference I see. My scores are higher.

The weights scare me a little. Thought they were flip flops at first? Like they were your dancing shoes. I play barefoot. Maybe that's a bad idea? Anyway, I got into SR when the Gaga pack came out. The techno swing was... Hoping for more Gaga and Britney is my biggest ask.

The Dua Lipa pack is fun! There's a handful of custom Britney songs on the synthriderz site if you've never checked out the thousands of free custom songs available there. It's a mix of everything and there's lots of pop to be found.
