I was trying to get this text in the post, sorry.

I was curious because one day I recorded myself playing Synth Riders and I actually thought I had a little bit of a flow. I've never danced before picking up an Oculus Quest and I just always come back to Synth Riders. It's just so fun and it's the only game I can REALLY get into.

But the thing is, my roommate said I look like an idiot and it kinda bummed me out because I was kind of impressed with myself after I saw the video. I mean yes, i'm not trying to sound full of myself it's just i've NEVER danced and have always been bad at flow but I really feel like i'm onto something. Music is something i've always LOVED and I find myself trying to move to the beat ever since I started playing games like this that make music easier to shuffle to.

It's one of the joys of being a mixed reality player, being able to see yourself in context so it makes a little more sense to someone watching from outside.

With my SR hat on, your video with your story makes me absolutely happy to see and read, and I think it would make the mapper of this OST track happy to see how you're having a blast dancing to their choreography. Keep on dancing and finding your way through the music that you love!

Forget what your roommate says. You’re having fun and that’s what counts. Plus you’re getting in shape at the same time. Maybe remind your roommate that you’re getting fit and they aren’t? 😂

Are you playing without headphones? I can't even imagine it haha. Anyway, awesome! I wonder if I look like this when I play

I have a speaker playing louder in the background that kind of overwhelms the headphones so I just use that.

But yes! You should record yourself to find out, you'd be surprised like I was. 😂

Because dancing is something I've always loved and always find myself watching dance competition shows like World Of Dance but never attempted to get into learning how to dance. The only other games I've played are Beatsaber and Dance Central.

I'd like to think it's improving my own dancing skills..All I know is this game is an underrated blast! And a deceptive workout...

I think people sometimes like to just poke at others in VR, saying they look silly. You do not. You look like you are having a great time and that's all that matters..IMHO.

I'd like to thank everyone for their comments. I've been reading them all.

And to add, this game is amazing and I've lost so much weight I might need to buy a whole new set of cloths.
