Edit: This is the manual, the company made. The engineers wrote the specifications. It says right there not to grab it. It doesn’t matter what people use it for. It was factually not designed to grab during play. This is a first hand example of facts not meaning shit to the human species.
I have no idea, but its not for holding onto while playing. You’re more likely to twist your joints that way. Maybe it stops you from backing off the machine on accident?
If you like to dance around, while grasping something that is immovable. Go for it. You’re gonna hurt yourself like I watched tweens do all throughout the 00’s at Gameworks. The bar was not made to grab.
You can say that but I grew up in Gameworks. The people who grabbed the bar were inexperienced. If you played at home with the matt in between sessions you didn’t need the bar. We used to run town on the fools tied to the machine and not free to move their feet. But all the more to ya I guess.
Dude, what do you do when you grab it? You usually follow the grab with your weight. Nobody is just holding it shyly like their first date at the movies. They’re putting their weight on it so they don’t slide off-axis to the dance pad arrows. The intended use doesn’t matter anyway, because this was a sign of a disrespectful player. If you did this while up against someone else you were a dirty player. Thats the truth. Thats why this comment on the chastity belt is funny.
Look, I pointed to the manual. You can interpret that with everyone else however you want. I was originally trying to say the post was making fun of people holding the bar, thats it.
I was there, Gandalf. You were a weak ass bitch if you held onto the bars. Kids were brutal. I’ll die on this hill cause it was true and I lived it. Even if its not true anymore.
Where are you getting these numbers from? At least source your shit. You’re just jumping on the same train as everyone else cause I look like an easy target. Here is a source for q-tip injuries. Thats a lot of children you just blatantly grouped together claiming they have no common sense. At least pull some research for your tangential attack that has nothing to do with proper DDR machine usage.
I have a gentle ear cleaning tool that is designed to use warm water to clean your inner ear, and then you clean the outer area with a q-tip. They’re great tools, just not for your inner ear. If your ears aren’t prone to infection I highly recommend a water cleaning device for your ears.
Since Gameworks closed down in Phoenix I haven’t been to tilt studio to check. The only DDR machine that I know of by me is in a Main Event. I’ll have to check it out. I doubt it has the warning to not lean on the bar. I stated somewhere in this chain that it doesn’t matter anymore. But back in the day it was a big deal. Which is what I interpreted this meme as meaning.
Very interesting! I swore I wasn’t insane and it was a big deal at one point. Thank you for the shared history! It is quite the silly thing now. But boy, I remember quitting a few times when an opponent would start the match, and then quickly reposition to grab the bar as the music started.
Ah that video was a good bridge of nostalgia and gaming interests. These machines have come a long way, and at the same time remained the same.
Funny, my coworkers were tryna convince me they were found not guilty today. I had forgotten about them so I let it pass and looked them up a bit ago. Haven’t even gone to trial, just off house arrest on conditions. People are delusional. Like just say you want people to listen to you just because, and you want to act on your impulses and treat anyone however you feel. Stop lying. All these dudes are pathetic and need to feel powerful.
