I can only assume 80% of that time was making the ♂ and the rest was spent randomly spasming and clicking.

I just took two weeks off to rest my hand, I actually can't click as fast and feel like I'm as good as I was in January. Why does this happen to us?

The higher your skill level, the higher the time investment to consistently perform that level, and the faster the degradation of skill if you are lax about it. Applies to a lot of things.

But then again, you're quicker to return to that level a second time around compared to the first time. Easier to follow a path already trodden than to forge one anew. ^^

Eh, I go months without playing and I end up being better than I was when I quit. I don't think the time investment applies to everyone. : P

Probably not everyone. I don't know what level you play at, but I was mostly referring to people playing on the hardest maps in the game. But even then I'm sure some epic players can take a break and not feel a thing. Everyone's different.

Taking breaks can have a surprising effect. I'm not sure how, or why it works, but I've had times where I took a break from Stepmania, or O2jam for months, only to start breaking all my old best scores almost the moment I started playing again. Shit does not make sense.

I had the same thing happen, I started playing osu in April of '09 and then played pretty much 8 hours a day all summer long and eventually got bored with rankwhoring and felt like I was at a skill plateau so I stopped around December, then came back in January and started beasting all the hard maps I had trouble with before. Nowadays I'm so inconsistent it's annoying, some days I play really well and other days I can't play anything to save my life.

Haha, I'd had the same deal. I've been playing for about a month (well, actually three weeks in reality), and I decided to take a break for one week. Came back and all of a sudden I'm playing better than I was when I took a break.

Weird huh. o_O

When I said break, I meant like 6+ months lol.

Also, FUCKING FUCK. Fucking osu lagged JUST as I was about to pass bakabaka's My Pace map. I want to kill peppy for making a game that is that inconsistent when my CPU load other than the game itself is basically nothing...

On the topic of suddenly crushing your older highscores after a break:

I'm not sure that it's the case with this, but I think it has to do with how the body adapts in the same way it adapts to regular physical training. If you train hard for a long time without breaks your body will eventually to become weaker instead of stronger since it won't have any time to catch up and process what it's learned. If you however do take breaks regularly, then the body will have time to adapt and process the training, and you will perform better the next time you train.

It's not exactly that since after a few months break the effects of physical training will mostly have disappeared, but maybe the mind works in similar ways only slower or something, I dunno.

Thought it might help clear something up as to why it might happen, though I'm not at all sure it's how it actually works for Osu in particular.

On topic of osu: Beginning to almost pass 200bpm maps with mouse only, sweet! :D

Consider getting better at Osu as compared to hacking your way through a jungle. At the beginning your machete is sharp as fuck and you make good progress. Over time all that hacking away dulls it, and you have to sit down for a couple hours to sharpen it again. But it won't be as sharp as it was in the beginning.

Eventually you can't even really sharpen it because it's just a piece of crap machete now, been used too long. So you leave the jungle and go buy a new one. This takes a few weeks. When you come back you might have a bit of bush grown back where you previously went through, but it's much easier to get through since it's so thin. You make great progress up until the point where you stopped last time. With a brand new blade you have no trouble moving forward once again.

Of course, rich people will have bought a high enough quality blade that they'll never have to leave the jungle, but some poor folk aren't so fortunate.

TL:DR If taking breaks helps you, you're poor.

It was 2 or 3 minutes before I posted that. Also, Doing a bit of research, people say it scheduled for 1AM Sunday nights...

I'e noticed there's actually a big difference between unlimited framerate and limited around 120. Setting the limit around 120 seems to reduce the "jitter" in frame times. Despite running 300+ frames a second in unlimited I've seen random drops to like 100 FPS, which means that more than likely there was a long frametime that was long enough to drop the framerate that far.

Still doesn't make sense why that happens though. Wish I had a way to find out what caused those spikes in frame time...

I think you might be sort of hitting at a point there lol. If I had to guess, I'd say that most likely what is happening is that your brain is being given enough time to strengthen some new synaptic connections related to what you are doing when you play osu, allowing you to do those things easier. Of course, the fact that the effect is still strong months later is still kinda surprising.

I wish you could erase your own scores without having to beat them.

I've literally spent all fucking afternoon trying to replicate my FL score on a map from before it was ranked and all I have to show for it is a garbage 95% after like 450 plays.

I don't even want the score anymore, I'm tired of trying to fc this shit but I need to because the score is sticking out like a sore thumb on the leaderboard and it's pissing me off. ~_~

Edit: I am convinced this game hates me, just slider broke 6 notes away from the end of the song when I had a lot better accuracy

afk killing myself
