Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Try Dance Dance Revolution. I’ve been weightlifting for years but hate cardio. DDR got me moving and sticking with it because it’s fun and gamified via scoring.
ITGMania for the app and Stepmania Online or Zenius-I-vanisher for song packs.

Edit - ITGMania is an In The Groove oriented application. There’s also Outfox which is available on Steam.
I use ITGMania with XX Starlight theme which switches it to a DDR Max/Supernova style and scoring.
I’f you’re new to DDR none of this will matter to you, but figured I’d add it just in case, especially since IIRC In The Groove may have tighter frame timing for steps, I forget. 🤷

what do you use for a dance pad?
Just a cheap Ostent mat.

There’s options from just this up to like $400 hard pads (L-Tek). It’s also cheap and easy to hard mod a soft mat like what I have if you’re interested.
My buddy in middle school modified some soft mats in the easiest way possible. Literally sandwiched between a piece of wood and some plastic that were screwed together. Bought everything at home depot and then boom you've got a cheap hard mat that works great.
I did similar. 1/2” sheet of ply board, staple down the mat edge trim with a staple gun, and tape down the edge with duct tape. Didn’t even need the acrylic sheet or whatever and I used that mat for years.
Currently using the soft mat as is because I don’t have a lot of space and it’s nice to fold it up into the cube storage under my coffee table when not in use. I put some silicone grip tape under the arrows to keep it from sliding around much when in use, and it’s good enough up to around 8-10 difficulty.
