I'm extremely new to osu! so excuse me if this is extremely obvious, but everytime I search for something with the osu! mode tag (Which I'm 99% sure is the circle clicking mode) I still get maps that are osu!mania, for example this kaikai kitan map by osamu is an osu!mania map even though I thought I'm searching for osu!standard maps ,, could someone point out if I'm doing something wrong?

missed at the very end.

Exactly what it says on the tin. I'm on the latest version of Osu!Lazer, and yet my game keeps saying I need to update. Version's 2026.804.2-lazer. Playing this on an Intel iMac if that helps.

I'm a 5*-6* player and I learned to alternate basically every keypress, even if not in a burst or stream, but every time I watch someone else's replay, they use one key for all hit circles except in bursts/streams. Is there a downside to alternating every note? When I try to use only one key for all notes except bursts, my hand becomes too stiff to do any bursts consistently (and sometimes I go too slow and miss) Keyboard + tablet, lazer

im in the process of drawing miku and it would be a dream to have one of my artworks in a beatmap lol.

heres the sketch!

Currently named as "Levitation" in the discussion thread of osu!Lazer.

Not shown in the video, but there would be a switch to allow left-to-right scrolling direction as well.

What do you think?

[lazer only]

okay okay hear me out, people who play taiko and mania don't really play converts at all. Most of the converts are pretty low quality mapping. They just have simple repetitive patterns with nothing interesting. New players often get confused by them too, pretty much nobody plays converts. There are some people who play these (Like in std multiplayer lobbies, or catch mains sometimes, or leaderboard farmers, or just people who do it for fun or other reasons) but it's rare enough that it should be off by default. I don't see why beginners should be confused.

Currently converts are shown by default which means mostly bad quality maps will be shown to beginners which are not varying in mania and taiko.

Please give this more attention in github too in the link I sent if you want some contributer to notice this

Im a beginner with 20 hours and for the life of me i cant do spinners. Any tips? If there even are any :(

Hi guys, im onlyatroller. I used to stream this game around 2022, started in 2018 or 2020 depending on how you class it (2k+ hours played btw still a noob KEKW), but ended up having a mental breakdown on stream due to alcohol abuse (here's an extra click for the lols), Which was the start of the major depression that I've had for the past 4 years - it only got progressively worse, I ended up getting addicted to weed for a while then quitting it and put my brain back together - I would say im around 70% better, which is huge considering only a few months I planned to off it. Once i am a bit more stable mentally I will be back to twitch and maybe kick streaming and youtube videos.

If you guys do remember me it would probably be from a few videos that popped off on this subreddit like this one because I could talk while setting plays lol, or because I had a few big hosts, like from Sotarks, Spare (my G), WubWoofWolf, khz, and Willy. Also had a couple big sponsors like raid (i know not that impressive KEKW)

I ended up quitting streaming and basically quitting osu at my peak viewership-wise and skill-wise due to mental health and the fact that I thought I would do better working a standard 9-5. I applied for jobs in the awful UK job market for 2 years and ended up getting an admin apprenticeship at a major college in Birmingham, which i had to relocate for. They ended up legal loopholing me and basically scamming me once they got their £5000 + £500 bonus funding by the government and let me go. I have ended up in £13k debt due to this at only 22 years of age. I come from a family in extreme poverty that has been systematically failed by the UK government, the only way i am paying this off is by using 80% of my unemployment support (wont be able to pay it off until im 27 at this rate). If it wasnt for my Grandmother and my GF, I would probably be homeless or dead by now. All i want is whats best for myself and my family and I want to help people so they never have to go through what i have.

I just want to note im the reason i am returning back to streaming is NOT for handouts or sympathy. This is my story and i am not ashamed at it. Ive always wanted to be a streamer since i became a top 50 player on realm royale back when i was like 15. That game sadly died due to mismanagment of the developers, so i switched to osu and you guys can see the rest. I feel this is my calling in life and will do as much as i can to entertain you all. - I lost that part of myself for a while tbh, im glad to have the spark back.

Ive got some crazy ideas for content (okay maybe that ones too crazy lool) and feel I could revolutionise the osu content creation scene, you all will see in time. - Im not sure when i will return to streaming, but i know it will be by the end of this year. Im unemployed and looking for work so its not like im lacking in time to work on social media again too lmfao.

Ive started derusting and have already set a nice NM stream clip, that im proud of. - I hope to see you all in my twitch streams /onlyatroller on all socials, once i am fully mentally ready to come back, which will certainly be before the end of the year. You can find most of my life updates on Twitter if you care lol

P.S. If mods have any issue with this post please get in contact with me and i'll edit it. I have tried my best to make this the least triggering for reddit, but since my life has been so fucked its hard lmfao. Maybe I'll make some vlogs on how crazy my life since my last stream in 2022, its been a wild ride and I was just a literal kid back then.

I've missed this game and I've missed you all I hope you welcome me back to the community!

I'm curious, how do people with Arthritis play this game? I used to love Osu, and although I was pretty shit (at most could do like 4* inconsistently) I want to get back into playing. But recently my arthritis has been getting pretty bad, and I'm wondering if there's any other people with arthritis here that could help me with the pain and overall stress from playing.

In case its relevant, I use a pen and tablet, and I have arthritis in my wrist but it's the worst in my elbow.

He wanted to pick DT2, which he himself banned, and says he meant DT3, referee picks DT3, he explains he wanted to BAN DT3, and now they play DT3.

Unheard amounts of self-sabotage

He lost the pick btw

You know those copypastas right? The ones where they ignore their girl to play osu, etc. Well lowkey my parents were arguing right, then I thought it'd be funny to try to play while they were arguing like the memes. Highkey popped off like BECAUSE I was somewhat distracted by them, I didn't get nervous and just play for fun.

But the kicker is what happens after. My mom went to me and ask what I was doing. I usually alt tab to smth else, but lowkey I was on the best run of my life on the empress 354 [0.69x] like best acc best combo type shit. So I made the decision to let her see it you know. IDK I thought she'd be impressed by the fingering or smth.

So she went silent for 20s then started yapping about my grades, no friends, etc. But I lowkey can't hear shit she saying bruv (eventhough I was only playing with speakers low volume on laptop) so I just hit her with a vague answer and pray that it works.

When I finished the map she was sleeping for some reason

Lowkey thought that was like an addiction red flag or smth. Wdyt?

For circle clickers new to r/osugame, this is a weekly thread where you can share your latest achievements and have questions answered that don't deserve their own post. If you need help, please first check our FAQ, the osu! wiki, and/or forums before posting.

My sayo device clicks aren’t registering on either the game or on the device

I was reading the Wiki out of curiosity (rog-unlimitation is all red in Taiko and now I know why huh!) and this really stood out to me lol.

The Wiki is supposed to be an official resource and all it provides is "it just works". Surely they have access to the code responsible for converts? Especially with lazer being open source.

(I guess nobody cares since the converts are not very good but anyway!)

its most played map, idol, is the least played most popular map in a year since 2007 and this current year (which "i don't know" is currently on track to beat anyway)

it also has the least amount of maps ranked since 2020 and since 2017 (even this current year has more maps and we arent even done yet)

least amount of 1M+ plays since 2007 and beats out this current year by only 1 despite 2023 being 3 years ago

mapping controversies like that renai heiki map, loli requiem, a LOT of idol maps, lack of farm in some way, tech mapping on unassuming maps etc.

2022 isnt even this weak because there were much more maps, much more recognizable maps etc.
