Skiing is not a thing to do on three hours of sleep. So, here I am, home.

memnus: Stepmania "hold" arrows and the phrase "HOLD ME". (Hold me.)
By about song 4 of a twelve-song set, the right arrow was just about stuck. I finished off the set (Nonstop, fail off; I've been making sets for exercise rather than badassness) and brought it upstairs to open it up. Rather than just poking at the vinyl underside, I carefully slit up the side to see if there's anything I could do.

The little foamy bit that keeps the two wire meshes apart is literally disintegrating. As I poked at it, there were particles coming off on my fingers. Trying not to touch it too much, I did the only thing I could think to - I outlined that button with thick masking tape, and closed it up. I don't imagine it'll help, but it might do something. Unless masking tape conducts electricity, in which case I'm screwed.

I may be hitting eBay for replacements soon.
