The fifth instance denied my application with, "read the coc and reapply"

Don't know what instance that is specifically, but if their application process is anything like reddthat's lemmy application process, there's probably a bit in there about something specific you're supposed to include in the application so they can weed out bots.

I did do the tutorial (after fucking up the first time through the initial setup and only getting the recommended songs and going "?!?!?!" for a moment) so I know about Z/X but what I mean is it's not entirely clear if I'm supposed to keep holding them while dragging. The UI's clear enough if I missed entirely, but if I kind of got it, I'm not really sure if I'm doing it right. With the reversals and the circle closing-in timing and a lot going on on the screen visually, it's a bit much all at once. TBF, it'd probably make sense if I spend more time poking at it; those were my initial impressions.

Thanks for trying to help me, btw, with your comment; always appreciated.

I've seen recordings of people playing this before in stream VODs a couple times before the player fired up another game, and, well, this post finally got me to try it.

The on-ramp for new players trying to make sense of it is, uh, not great. Trying to make an account on the website tells you to download the game. Okay... Trying to make an account in the game then sent me back to the website!? (Why not just let me register on the website in the first place?)

The basic idea of the circle mode is easy enough to understand -- although I doubt I will ever get very good at this, at least with a mouse, and I'm still not quite sure on whether or not I'm supposed to hold a key down/click-and-drag or just click and then follow the motion? -- but there are other modes that it threw me in (mania?) when I tried loading another song from the catalog and it was rather difficult to even figure out what keys I was supposed to push. (The diagram on the wiki was not helpful -- I spent a while confused thinking I was supposed to use ASDF for a "4K" when it seems like it's actually DFJK for some reason?) Probably all makes sense to someone who's been playing it for years, but, yeah... Pretty UI, but the on-boarding could use some work.

Might be fun to poke around at for music discovery though.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth from giving it a try.

It looks like the connector is U.2 so I'd look for motherboards that indicate support for that explicitly. From a quick search, it looks like SuperMicro makes some. This is getting out of my area of expertise though; I just know the crazy drives exist...

Assume an unlimited budget for now, I just want to know what's out there.

I mean, if you're willing to pay the price of a car per SSD they go up to at least 122TB density per drive... (e.g. Solidigm SBFPF2BV0P12001 D5-P5336 -- $16K~$20K depending on supplier from a quick search)

I don't actually recommend that for personal use, but since you were curious about what's out there, there's some absolutely crazy shit in enterprise server gear if you have deep enough pockets.

Nice!

Edit: do you have to disassemble the controller (with a screwdriver or something) or is it accessible with just my hands? I swap (rechargeable) AAs on my XBox360 controller quite a bit, and part of why I like it is that I can do it quickly if the battery dies while playing.

Now if it just had a replaceable battery...

If that doesn't work when you try again later, then try searching in the community@example.com format specifically, and also try searching for the URL of a specific post -- that might get it to federate the post and then you should be to access the magazine from that if it succeeds.

If that still doesn't work, message the admin of your instance and ask them for help.

Good luck.

Try searching for the community explicitly -- e.g. community@example.com -- that should make the server aware that it exists. You may also need to subscribe to keep it from going stale, IIRC.

It's been a while since my time on kbin, so apologies if I'm remembering something incorrectly or if mbin has diverged since then.

Just run a web server and expose the specific files you want to share through that?
