Conversely, I've always found it more fun to play harder stuff because even though I don't get that fuzzy feeling of doing well, I have more fun actually trying hard to pass something. The effort of knowing that theres a chance you will fail makes it more fun. I find it more fun to be able to do complicated patterns than simple ones. Example: The jumps in Homework Crisis [Let's Jump]. I struggle a lot on that map. I can't pass it yet, but I find it FAR more fun to play than say, Halo Glare [qinche]. If you play with a competitive mindset this is going to be how you feel. (It might only be competing against yourself, but it still counts as competitive) The mindset you talk about is the casual player mindset. In your case, the real question is do you have more fun doing really well on harder stuff or on easier stuff? Will being able to play harder stuff, and play it well, be more fun than staying where you are? If the answer is yes, it might be worth improving yourself, if the answer is no, then it's not worth it to improve.

Very true. I'm not trying to say that playing for self improvement is better than playing casually, I'm just outlining the mindset and the methods I use to improve. Like I said, I have fun improving. When I started playing osu I almost gave up because I felt like being unable to play the insane maps took away from my experience. Even though I was playing at the edge of my skill, I wasn't satisfied with what I could play, and wasn't having a lot of fun with most maps. Even now most maps I can pass aren't "fun" for me the same way that playing bullshit hard stuff is. | ||

I spin with tight circles now (reduces strain without significant decrease in speed), but sometimes I spin off-center and fail to combo. Play this: http://osu.ppy.sh/s/2463 Then play it 50 more times Now you're good at spinners Edit: nvm the link died I can upload it for you Edit 2: http://puu.sh/s26b Edit 3: hello! | ||

Edit: With DT, I got 95000. Somehow, DT makes the spinner score go up much faster. | ||

Wasn't implying it was fast. But better to be slow and enjoy the game, than play hard un-fun stuff and quit cuz it's gay. And I don't think I was all that slow in improving. To each his own.  | ||

And on the more reasonable insane I can almost pass it. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/fAoDt.jpg) I'm sticking to my guns with mouse only, as such my biggest problems are the long death streams, my spinners are hella slow (~275rpm), and of course consistency/accuracy. | ||

Agreed. Streams suck. I just skip any beatmap with long streams lol. Seeing "300 300 300 100 300 50 50 50 miss miss..." really sucks. Especially when I'm only clicking with 1 mouse button (if I use 2 buttons, everything gets messed up). | ||

Anyways, i've been slowly working my way through the hard version of "Aerodynamics girls and boys song" and theres this really annoying looking anime girl that keeps popping up. Im not really sure what she does or means, but shes really annoying. Is there any way to turn her off, or replace her with a less annoying one? | ||

I'm going over 200+ new maps every week, trying to find the best and most fun ones. I upload my runs on them, mostly to showcase the maps. I'm not very good myself... either way, if you want to find fun maps, feel free to check this playlist out: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAF965C1DD3B57BD9 Each video has a run on a map and a DDL link in the description. If you like at least a few of them, then your tastes must be similar to mine and you'll probably like all the rest too. Saves time finding them! Here's a recent video as a sample: | ||
