If you’re talking about the post I think you are. It was sadly an article from 2012 as the only linked source.

You’re not alone

I made a random name, the joke is the picture shows a greying 28 year old from all the stress of these “once in a lifetime” events.

Because it shows you don’t have the coordination to stay on the mat…

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.

You also shouldn’t do that. https://hms.harvard.edu/news/why-you-really-truly-should-not-put-q-tips-your-ears. Thats just proven bad. Unlike my losing battle elsewhere. Which, trust me, it was a big deal if you held on. Everyone can argue it. But all I’m seein’ is a bunch of bar grabbers.

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.

Yep, but it was 2004.

That hardly proves the intended purpose. Either way, early 2000’s, if you held onto that during play you were weak.

They’re children, roughly 12.5k a year. You’re picturing adults jamming these in their ears.

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.
