Yeah, that's what occured to me too when I started playing my first music game which was stepmania. Basically just play hard songs even if you fail, and don't even turn fail off, just focus on getting to a certain or past a certain part no matter how many tries it takes. And then if you do that you can play another hard song and rinse and repeat. The feeling of passing a song you worked so hard on is just so fulfilling and feels so awesome. Obviously all this pertains to osu! as well.

Also starting to pass IOSYS - Border of Extacy quite consistently now, kind of hard to focus though with a loli girl moaning after half the song rofl.

So I just started plyaing Osu! However, I keep lagging when the girl pops up (when 30x?). Is there a way to get rid of her?

I've always done that. When I first started I aimed to get all full combo S ranks on songs, which was usually around 93%, give or take a little depending on the map. As I got better I raised the bar a little to 95% and then to 97%. I'd take in scores with 93-96% or A ranks depending on the map (for example I have a 1 miss A rank with like 98 or 99% on Ephemeral's Bad Apple, and I took in a 93 or 94% FC on Cyclone) but usually if I want to play something that I know I can't score 97%+ on I just turn on Spun Out.

Although granted I started on easy maps, then worked up through normals, hards, and up to insanes. Usually what I see is the people who started on hards and insanes have a much lower overall accuracy statistic than those who did not, unless they exponentially improved. However, those people also likely improved at the game much faster, so it's a bit of a tradeoff. Lower accuracy for faster growth, or higher accuracy for slower growth. Unless you're some sort of superhuman robot like Cookiezi.

To me, accuracy is the most important statistic in a rhythm game, since the whole point is to hit notes on time to the corresponding parts of the song. I never really understood the mindset of just being satisfied with passing a song, even if it's with like 70% accuracy. To me that just shows you can button mash but have a poor sense of timing. I know there are different types of skill though, but ultimately you want a balance of good timing and good fundamental skills at the game. Cyclone once said to me "show me high accuracy and I'll be impressed", and if you look at a lot of other top players like Shaggon and Tana and Cookiezi they have very high accuracy but do so on the hardest maps, not less difficult maps like kioukiou and his 99.87% accuracy.

tl;dr Practice maps you can't score high on/FC with Spun Out, you feel less pressure and you don't have to spam retry over and over and waste time. Play maps without Spun Out that you think you can score well on (whatever your definition of scoring well is) and/or full combo. That way you can keep your statistics mostly safe if you value them while still building up your skills on the really hard maps with the Spun Out mod. Also don't play maps on Half-Time, just watch them in the editor if you're really stuck on a pattern or rhythm.
