That is pretty much how I feel.

Amen to that.

Oh, and btw, i saw people talking about skins a moment ago. At the moment i have the 'cartoon' skin with a changed cursor. But what annoys me a little bit is that there are some kind of stars (?) dropping out of the cursor, and whenever i use z/x, the stars shoot out of the cursor left/right. Is there any way to stop this?
edit: you can't see it on the picture above, because it only happens when i'm in a map. The stars that come out of the cursor I believe are named as star2.png in your osu skin folder. really? Thanks a lot!
edit: Hm, couldn't find such a file in my skin folder. I also checked the other files and none of them look anything like the stars. Thanks for the suggestion though

If there's no file then I think it defaults to the default skin star2.png, not sure but I think that's the case
So just make a transparent star2.png and add it to your skin folder and that should fix it

so, a new score im happy with - first time i passed this, and with tapping only, outside the few panic areas.
+ Show Spoiler +
:D
edit - and this in first try:

now, if only i could actually hit the shit reliably instead of having half my hits missing

Just noticed that BGs go to pitch black at the extreme of the dim bar now.
Looks like he caved on that one?

Yeah, seems like he allows for dim 100% now

randomly when there's pauses in the map (dunno how short of a pause, because it happens for a split second which is disorienting), it becomes like no dim at all
ex: http://osu.ppy.sh/b/201463
at around... well after the Hard's spinner/ when it starts to say "meguru meguru~..."
ex 2: http://osu.ppy.sh/b/194406
there's more but I don't feel like finding all of them through my songs.

You need to resnap all notes in Start and Middle

I'm really liking your map to be honest, it's better than most maps that get ranked nowadays.
(good thing you fixed that offset :p)

I'm improving at mania a lot. I should try to get a good video of some of what I play that isn't ranked/widely available.

Hehe, a few days ago I randomly decided to download like 6 of val0108's maps after playing some of 'with a dance number' and 'mythologia's end'. Amazing how easy a lot of other maps seem, after you've seriously played maps of similar difficulty to those 2.
I have to say i'm not passing any of them, although some very close.
@ MegaMenEXE: thanks! i'll try that.
Oh, and btw, sometimes i play maps i used to play, because i want to know how much i've improved. When i'm nearly fc'ing them, i feel like i have to, while sometimes getting a lot of pp for it. Now i am like in the top 100 of the netherlands, but i still feel like i'm very bad. Is that because i've been 'farming' too much, or does everybody do that? Edit: Or is it bad to pay any attention to it at all? Edit2: For anyone interested, my osu account is yorickblabla.
(i checked, and at the moment of typing, i'm no. 101, it seems to fluctuate quite a bit)
Edit3: Hakker, i downloaded your map, it's very nice!
I have to say, i don't really like the song, but the map flows very natural with it. I'm not really in a position to critisize anyone, but i really like beatmaps that get along well with the music, if you know what i mean. If the music holds back (i don't know how to properly say it in english), i like it if a beatmap slows down, and the other way round. I had this feeling with about 80 or 90 percent of your map, but not everywhere. Atm i am too lazy to give examples, but i can if feel it'd be appropriate. I hope this was helpful

ah wow im glad you guys were able to enjoy it x.x
haha yeah i know some parts are still a little awkward. .. if you get a chance yorbon i could even give you some cute star points or something >>

To be honest the country rankings are pretty dumb. I´m currently rank 32 of the Netherlands but I know people that are above me that aren´t able to play some maps I can play, they´re just better and getting pp. On the other hand I know people that are below me are way better than me. (besides, we suck as a country anyway... only that the our top 5-6 players are actually damn good, and those aren't even the top 5 pp ranked.)
I'm caring less about my rank every day and realizing more and more how pointless of a stat it is. Hell I'd even go as far as to say accuracy would be a better rating system, but then you can't look at average acc.
The point I really want to make is: Please please please do not, ever, change what you play from what you want to play simply because of a community view. With that I mean things like 'score farming', 'pp farming', 'high playcount' , 'bad accuracy' etc. Play what you're having fun with, not what you a community believes is the 'right' way to play

And that's why I only play by myself in offline mode now
Playing for rank is boring

lol @ ranks on osu
PP is a system that shows how much somebody farms. You don't get PP from passing boot [Shoe] with HR or passing Mythologia with HR, you get PP from FCing a random [Hard] diff to some anime tv size song.
