Also stop focussing on the "top 500" score thing. pp is currently considering the top 648 scores, and this number will be changing (mostly increasing?) over the coming months/years/decades. That's most likely why, I'm not sure what it's at right now. I dropped like a couple of hundred ranks because of that : (
That's most likely why, I have quite a few songs where I'm at #504...

I will never beat any ar10 song

Oh, nice, peppy's making changes I like.
Anyone got suggestions for maps I should try DT on? I've decided I'm trying to improve by playing stuff on DT that is harder than the usual mas I played earlier...

gl hf with that

so, it's evening, im a bit tired and this map pops up after a random http://osu.ppy.sh/s/43508 if peppy wants to promote backgrounds, atleast make it possible to see the circles clearly, instead of having to guess half the time.
god damn it. /rant over

The BAT should make good backgrounds a requirement...that is all I ask. I mean, I've never deleted a background, but some of these maps make it hard to even see.
edit:
Ok this really doesn't mean much but ever since I first played this song I wanted to FC it.
![[image loading]](http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/471680)
After not playing for a really long time I manage to do it on my 2nd real try today, so its not really a hard song. It just feels good to FC an old favorite, especially a long one...also, fuck those sliders. If you've played this song enough times you'll know the ones I'm talking about, that's where the -1 comes from.

What constitutes a "good" background and a "good" skin is far more subjective than any other aspects of the map, which is why they should be user-customizable.
People always make the argument "well if nobody said anything in the map thread, then the skin must be ok!" There's over a million osu players, there's bound to be people who haven't seen the god damn map thread that have a hard time seeing things with that skin or bg.
"If you don't like the skin, don't play the map" is another bullshit argument. Why should I have to sacrifice playing a song I might enjoy just because I can't see what the fuck is going on?
Why does peppy even allow for people to have custom skins if any asshole mapper can just overwrite them with random terrible skin #23413984724 in their map folder?
tl;dr fuck this game

And for once this isn't coming from me first. Though yes I completely agree here. What's worse is that they can also specify the default theme as the map's theme, so you don't get an interesting skin, but you still don't get to pay with your custom skin (although replacing the default skin used to work, it appears that may not work any more after a few of the recent updates).

Also on the note of backgrounds, there are a number of "busy" backgrounds that I think could actually work all right if the mapper would choose contrasting combo colors.
But instead most people (and I used to be guilty of this too when I used to map) pick colors that are the same as elements from the background, as if it's a thematic thing or something, which leads to the "can't see shit" problem.
I don't know why there isn't a "high contrast mode" slider for color blind people and people who just can't see anything in some maps, the slider in the fun spoilers thing only affects the background and not the combo colors and does a poor job at that until you play the song once and can get the 90% dim option.
And don't even get me started on kiai time.

What was the most intense session of osu! for you? How long was it? Or maybe just what was the longest amount of time you've played Osu! in a single session?

For me, probably my 60~ attempt at FC'ing night of knights. Never actually did it ._. Whole attempt was roughly 1.5 hours i think
|
i can't see blue on black so i always gotta change the bg to light gray instead of just deleting it
takes like five extra keystrokes. IT'S KILLIN' ME MANNNNNNN
|
I think I'm nearing my limit, I've played for 9 hours today in total and I can hardly type with my middle finger ;-;
|
i've had a few days where i tried to FL a song (never again till i get better) - tried to do with a dance number (some time ago), airman, lily scarlet or just times where i've been stubborn and tried the same song on DT + HD over and over.
most annoying sessions is when im about to FC a map, prolly around 98-99% acc and my hand goes "DERRRRRR" and i fail the last spinner, sitting with an A-rank left.
fml.

12 hours straight, with only like two small breaks in that time
My wrist was sore for at least 3 days after that
|
I can't play osu for ages. I play maybe an hour and then have to stop. I tend to play like 10 tracks, fail something or get too cramped and quit for an hour, then I come back or a bit.
|
I don't have the fortitude to grind out FC'ing, shit sounds horrifying. And yeah I've played 13 hours of osu! today since waking up with a small GSL break and a break for senior seminar. I feel very, very stupid right now. I think in the future I will be one of those sad individuals who dies from dehydration while in a crazed gaming binge ;; Multiplayer is so addicting...
|
Back when I first started playing osu I was so addicted, I would play at least 8 hours a day, 7 days a week
And yet it still took me like 2 months to be able to play Insanes
