Not only that, I managed to FINALLY FC this beatmap that has tormented me since I got an osu account. It felt super gratifying (acc could have been better but I derped on one stream): That second map and song is great. I remember getting a 6x100 Hidden on that a while ago and not being able to repeat it 33 minutes ago, Kenshin_sama said: Went from roughly 42k to 36k. Yay! https://osu.ppy.sh/forum/t/459788 I went to 42k. No more worrying about dipping back over 50k again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kenshin_sama 1357 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Jumps aren't hard at all; the challenge is keeping your nerves in check after 1k combo. Ugh, so close. This pushed me past the 36k mark at least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kenshin_sama 1357 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Try this one, it's pretty much a pp grab map. I'm under 35k now because of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Completely off topic, but that Setsuna Trip avatar, I actually started listening to a lot of GUMI recently. Well, not a lot, mostly the same 5-6ish love songs that are highly viewed for her on Youtube. Absolutely love her songs that I heard. I guess on topic I swore this song was on osu but every derivative of that song name I searched I couldn't find it. Kenshin_sama 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, it was after I played Setsuna Trip that I started listening to her songs more. I mean, I've always thought her songs were cool, but it wasn't until recently that I started really getting into them. Edit: Found a beatmap for the song. It's not too bad.https://osu.ppy.sh/b/710079 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TastefulSardine 10 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Cool to see an osu! thread here. Just started playing again recently because of summer time. I got this on a 5.42* map which surprised me a lot, since I'd only been playing around 5* and below before. https://imgur.com/i567FWa Edited June 5, 2016 by TastefulSardine forgot image Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kenshin_sama 1357 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Hey, guys. I have a bit of an announcement to make. Not sure if anyone else has seen Clephas' blog post regarding video games and addiction, but it's gotten me to think about a few things regarding my gaming habits. After mulling it over, I'm really not as happy playing this game as I thought I was. I don't get the same kind of excitement playing osu as I did when I first started, and now it seems my only reason for playing anymore is to get better. Most maps aren't that fun for me to play anymore, and there are too few enjoyable maps in between for me to be satisfied overall. I also think that the ladder anxiety I get from trying to FC maps is a little too much to bare and not very good for my anxiety disorder. So that's it. I've uninstalled the game and deleted all my beatmaps, so I doubt I'll be tempted to start it back up again. It's been fun, it really has! Best of luck to everyone who continues to play this game.

Ceris 452 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 That's really sad to hear I'm probably in the state of "addicted to osu", but I don't care. While I do try to put a lot of emphasis on getting better, I want to get better because I genuinely enjoy osu as a game, just as a competitive one. I love music. I spent my childhood not listening to much music, and not until middle school did I start listening to anything once internet became part of my every day life. My music library has never been the most impressive in size, and only listened to random stuff my friends listened to, but I always loved just listening to stuff, so I didn't care. And then osu came along. osu completely changed my music library from just a few rock bands I listened to, to a large variety of music.It was the sort of shifting point (even though it's soo weeb like) to me primarily listening to Japanese music, which I personally don't regret. And at the same time, I can enjoy the game BECAUSE I can play along to my favorite songs. In fact, some of my favorite songs are BECAUSE I played them on osu so much. I didn't play them to go up a leaderboard, and there weren't songs I played for pp and hated (I really refuse to play shit I don't like). osu made me discovery utaite, which made me go listen to more of them outside of osu, and in turn made me come back to osu just to play the game with songs I liked. While I do get unreasonably angry at the game when I play badly, other times I'll just not care and keep playing, because I personally do actually enjoy the game. I've played osu for 3 years, and don't regret any of it. There's actually so many times I've said out loud to my friend over chat "I'm fine with xxx being my highest PP score, I love this song!" And then usually end up choking, but it's just the way I think. I like this song, and I like my highest PP scores being songs I like. Hell, nearly every song on the first page of performances is songs I like (I can see maybe 1-2 glancing through that are songs I find meh) Without osu, I would have never discovered these songs. The third song, I play an unranked version all the time because it's fun, and not even to get better or for ranking purpose.

The third song, I play an unranked version all the time because it's fun, and not even to get better or for ranking purpose. That's probably the issue I have with the game now. I can't ever play without a strong desire to get better, and what comes with that is detrimental to my enjoyment. I don't ever think about how much I enjoy a beatmap, I'm just concerned about how I am with improvement. It's become something of an obsession with me, and it's depressing as hell. But that's just me. I can't ever play this game with the mindset I need to enjoy it like you can, so I have to drop it. But it's not often that a game keeps me around for longer than a year, so it was definitely a good ride while it lasted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ceris 452 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Wow this thread has been dead for a long time. Congrats on the 4k PP! I'm still just a casual back at like 2.5k PP because I never get better at osu no matter how much I play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Better than what I'm doing~. Finally getting my surgery after all this time, although I'm still very hesitant to play this game again. I might consider it once my hand is better and I get a more ergonomic desk and chair setup. And grats, maef! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tahu157 188 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 1.6K PP player here. Fairly recently I got into 5 star territory. I'm in sort of an awkward spot where I can't get any good 5 star plays but none of my 4 star plays are getting me anything at all. I'm just kinda existing. I suppose that happens in every jump between star difficulties but for whatever reason it's bugging me now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tahu157 188 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) Make that . . . *puts on sunglasses* . . . 1.7K PP Still though I haven't had a really good score in a long time. Edited September 4, 2017 by tahu157 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Codesterz 51 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I find it hard to enjoy multiplayer in this game anymore. It feels like it's changed into a PP grind with songs at AR9.5 or higher. Funny thing is though you make these guys play an AR8 song and they fail hard. Not to mention I feel like no one likes playing anime songs anymore. It's turned into electronic type stuff.

Ceris 452 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I've never even bothered playing multi public. As for the AR comment, it's not like being able to read AR8 makes you a better player, it's just something that needs practice, and you can be a good player without being able to read <AR9 since 99% of difficult maps that come out today are AR9 or higher. Sure, learning lower AR can make you a more versatile player, but it isn't required. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zakamutt 1392 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 My experience with multi games like 8 months ago what that people tended to spam difficult weird stuff, not pp stuff, so idk what changed tbh lol Also reading AR8 obviously makes you a better player... if you consider AR8 a skill. Considering OWC had ar8 parts it seems weird to me to exclude it from the skillset. I would agree that you can still be a good player without it though, focus on what you want really ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ceris 452 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Wasn't that Dragonforce map as a tie breaker controversial anyway? Because it's something only a smaller number of players actually practice because again, AR8 isn't something that's commonly used. But what do I know, I'm trash at the game anyway and can't read AR under 9 or above 9.6 myself Edited October 9, 2017 by Ceris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tahu157 188 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I guess I still play around the high 4 star, low 5 star range, but I don't think AR 8 is that hard to read. Maybe it's a bigger problem later on when you get to higher 5 star and beyond but I haven't gotten there yet. What I do have trouble with though is >AR 9. I just don't have the instant reaction time needed to play consistently at that speed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
