did some high acc practice the other day going for some easy SS's and it seems like its paying off. got a 82 pp score

had 99 acc for 80% of the song and choked the ending, still my best play by like 10 pp though.

TFW your acc is so bad you can't get any PP on anything you can 99.

The new nvidia ultra-low-latency mode noticably improves mouse/kb-to-pixels delay for me which is pretty shocking given how low it already was! Can't wait for benchmarks on it, given the numbers that we have it may even be as low as 8 milliseconds on a perfect setup which is just mind blowingly fast, basically instant. Sub-20ms on 60fps apparently!

With these kinds of software optimizations even a 60fps game can give very snappy input; the inconsistency and refresh time of a 60hz display is still a bit problematic, though. Playing at 60fps on 120hz+ adaptive sync should be super sharp, whereas it wasn't so much before - the loss of framerate caused a very perceptible slowing down of input registering which could throw off muscle memory.

New video up. It's highly likely this is pretty far from the best I've ever done on this score wise (it's not even the highest score I have on my local leaderboards) but it is probably one of the closest scores I have to actually passing. I only failed in like 3 or 4 spots. I don't know why it's taken me so long to release a video of this map, because I absolutely love the song and the map overall.

Linus never disappoints.

In other news, I'm alive. I'm also rust incarnate at this point so I haven't made any scores worth recording.

been a long time since i've updated, been playing for nearly a year now! seem to have hit a pretty solid wall recently at about 3.3k pp, haven't been cranking out as many sick scores lately. Here are a few that I'm particularly proud of though:

It's been a while.

Good to see at least some posts in the last few months ;P

Gratz Varanice, strong improvement!

Very small update from me. I don't think I've played in half a year or so (edit: maybe lying about this, just saw some scores from October), but started playing again yesterday out of boredom, now that Corona has shut everything down in the Netherlands. Had to work from home, and a few months ago gave away my monitor, so I had to buy a new one (partially paid by my boss). So a friend of mine recommended the Acer XF420H, so I could finally try out 120Hz (it's supposedly able to have 144hz, but I don't think my laptop can support that).

I remember years ago having the discussion whether you could actually see the difference between a regular monitor and a 120+ Hz one. The difference is actually huge. Gigantic. The amount of details on my screen I can see now distract me while playing.
I did change quite a few settings as well, so improved experience is partially due to that, but still.

Difference between yesterday and today, or laptop screen and monitor, is the difference between feeling like rust incarnate, and actually pretty decent. I've even topped a few scores from june last year, arguably my best mania period. Taiko is pretty good as well, playing 5+ stars from the get go.
Too bad my stamina is so bad, I can't even play LN Dan 3 anymore, without serious stamina issues.

So I actually feel kind of motivated again, perhaps I can return to level of playing double helix and third eye, would be sick to play that and actually able to see everything.

Yeah, I know that feeling. It's a lot less of an issue for me because I play with such low scroll speeds to begin with but even at 14 it's noticeably nicer at 144 hz. I've been playing like maybe once or twice a month or so, which is very much not enough to keep my skill from getting worse, so I'm still getting worse and worse, but I have started to pick the game up again since the coronavirus shit started.

I just got laid off from my job, so I'm gonna have a lot of free time in the next while.

In regards to the hz discussion: I played CS:GO and later OW competitively for several years. During that time I gradually upgraded my monitor from 60, 144, and eventually 240 hz. In my experience, 60 -> 144 hz had the biggest impact on my gameplay. 144 -> 240 hz didn't have as significant of an impact, but it definitely looked crisper and more visually clear, especially when turning quickly. 144hz definitely worth it even for osu. probably wouldnt recommend 240hz unless you're hardcore into fps, etc though.

sorry to hear that man.

My university has moved completely online. My comp sci professors seem to be at a complete loss for how to handle that, even though in theory it should be easier than most other courses. I haven't been fired from either of my two jobs but.. I'm not getting paid right now, which sucks a lot.

Been playing a lot lately as well. Will probably post some fun stats/recap screenshots next week.

My GF is going to school for programming right now and they're fully online too. I think it's just that profs weren't ready to make the switch so suddenly.

And technically I'm actually running at 165hz because my monitor OCs from 144 to 165. This is my first really decent PC, so I was used to getting sub 60fps in a lot of games before this. The difference from sub 60 to 165hz is just insane. Even just hitting like 90+ fps on stuff with settings cranked is pretty amazing compared to what I was used to before.

In my experience, 60 -> 144 hz had the biggest impact on my gameplay. 144 -> 240 hz didn't have as significant of an impact

60 to 144 is a +140% upgrade.

144 to 240 is a +67% upgrade.

Proportionally it's just less than half as much so it wouldn't be expected to bring half as much improvement in the metrics that are proportional. It wouldn't be mathematically correct to expect any more from it.

With a 2.0x step between each refresh rate, you can test 60 vs 120 vs 240. It scales as expected, some perceptional drop-off on metrics like input lag but many others are basically proportional (like sample-and-hold motion blur)

With a 2.4x step, 144hz would be the halfway point between 60 and 346hz.

We can't buy monitors that fast yet (aside from some prototypes with screwy overdrive that kinda makes it not worth..) but we will be able to soon! I have zero doubt that they'll make 144hz monitors look silly by comparison.

Great to hear, Yorbon! :D

Man, that sucks. Even though it's probably difficult in the current situation, hope you'll find something soon!

Apart from the monitor I talked about earlier, I've decided btw to get a complete new pc set-up. The average age of my current set-up parts is around 5+ years, so it's probably time. The goal is to get it ready in a few months, without spending too much $ on it. This time I'll get some advice on what to buy, though, before once again buying the worst model available

The only thing I'll miss is my xornet II, it's half broken, but the shape is just perfect.

Edit: Well, that was fast:

The dip was me rage quiting, only to see that I still had like 93% at that point.

Edit2: Not that important, but ordered new pc today. Same friend that advised me on the buy will help with overclocking. Should be good enough for the next couple of years, considering intended use. For people interested: + Show Spoiler +
