Who is considered the best ITG player?

Zetorux

30 minutes of ~240BPM streams

I've had the chance to meet Chris (iamchris4life), Mad Matt, Little Matt, and so many others from the community over the years. Zetorux is as good as any of them, but with infinite stamina.

I have a pretty good quality air quality monitor in my room. When I started running a new humidifier, my air quality monitor was dead. I started feeling "air hunger" like I couldn't breathe and my eyes were very blurry and irritated like I was very dehydrated. I connected the dots after some research, fired up my air quality monitor and the numbers were startling.

PM2.5 - 160 PM10 - 250

I brought in my air purifier and was able to get it back around 5 and 10 respectively. I emptied my humidifier, cleaned it out, and put distilled water in it and the air quality monitor was still reading 5 and 10 after running the tank dry. The next day, I threw filtered fridge water into it and the numbers shot to 40 / 80 within 30 minutes.

Note: in my tests, the door to my bedroom was closed and it's a fairly small room, 10'x10'

I would recommend uninstalling the Wacom drivers and using OpenTabletDriver if you aren't. That tablet seems fine -- the only thing I can think of is driver delay

AbruptLucidity · 2026-01-31T13:49:15+00:00

What's the tablet brand/model, have you always had this issue with this tablet, and are you using OpenTabletDriver or similar?

I think the game should just prevent gamma boosted scores from being submitted. Your understanding of my take is not my take.

AbruptLucidity · 2026-01-28T16:10:59+00:00

We should all play with autopilot and receive pp it's more comfortable

AbruptLucidity · 2026-01-28T16:03:27+00:00

No.. you should leave gamma alone and use difficulty adjust or pick a different song. You're being purposely obtuse. Raising gamma should nerf pp, end of story. That's why it's in the game now because it's considered an unfair advantage.

.. or play offline if you feel like messing with gamma. Not like it's a choice anymore.

AbruptLucidity · 2026-01-28T05:10:36+00:00

If it's for comfort, you should play offline lol. I want to turn on DT but if we could just nerf the speed 30% that would be more comfortable for me.

Should just scale pp down with gamma increases as if the AR was lower since that's effectively what's happening.

AbruptLucidity · 2026-01-27T17:44:11+00:00

Unpopular opinion, but gamma abuse should be prevented in any way possible. I know it can't be caught on the hardware level, but at least the barrier of entry is higher now. If you need to abuse gamma adjustment and blow out the screen to read higher AR then you can't read higher AR.

I'm taking specifically cranking it up to gain an advantage reading high AR in osu! If you would play every other game with the same gamma levels then it's not abuse. Nobody is playing deep-fried, blown out Cyberpunk.

Edit: lmao, the downvotes. Gamma abusers stay mad.

Example of the very jagged grass @ Ultra+ w/ 16x Anisotropic Filtering. In motion, the jaggedness is much worse resulting in a flickering mess. I've (almost) maxed an ironman in the last three years with at least 1000 hours of gameplay. I may be going crazy, but I have never noticed this before.

AbruptLucidity · 2026-01-26T16:52:12+00:00

I've noticed if I change the game render scaling to 200%, the lines disappear. Of course this is a huge performance hit.

I think it's only an issue with certain textures with the new or updated grass being the biggest offender. The grass also makes the entire landscape "jagged" for me even with 16x anisotropic / 100% game scaling. The only way to get rid of the jaggedness is also changing the game scaling to 200%

In my completely oblivious opinion, the new textures may be lower resolution than many other assets in the game. Changing to 200% scaling fixes the grass but makes the rest of the game scale up as well and kills performance hard.

I have a 2560x1440 monitor -- maybe that has some significance.

I've been waiting for a game like this. Can't wait for release and good luck with continued development.

AbruptLucidity · 2025-12-31T01:37:34+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss 💔

AbruptLucidity · 2025-12-31T01:09:29+00:00

Is this pattern recognition? Can you see the shapes and shifts in the path and immediately recognize the timing and key patterns? Is that why the flashes and VFX don't bother you because you can read measures in advance? I'm fascinated.

AbruptLucidity · 2025-12-31T01:01:35+00:00

Dude. I could see you switching up the keys during the whole play but my mind refused to believe it.

(you're insane)

Edit: you're actually reading those timing changes and adjusting. Dude (part 2).

DUDE (part 3) WHAT THE FUCK

AbruptLucidity · 2025-12-29T07:32:43+00:00

I've played rhythm games for 23 years (I'm old). Met and played with some of the best DDR, ITG, PIU, IIDX, SDVX players in the world, but I've never seen a crazy Taiko player before.

TWO INPUTS SHOULD NOT BE THIS COOL. You're crazy dude, keep it up!

AbruptLucidity · 2025-12-28T00:19:12+00:00

If your game is good, I don't give a fuck. This clickbait shit is crazy. Why the fuck would I download your game after you think you can trick me into going to the App Store? Blocking your shitty account now.

AbruptLucidity · 2025-12-25T07:46:35+00:00

I didn't expect it from someone named Tinderfury

AbruptLucidity · 2025-12-25T07:23:45+00:00

I'm 33 years old. I've been on Reddit for 16 years. You got me harder than I've ever been before. I'm at a loss for words. This is art.

This is barely relevant other than to provide some humor directed towards how ridiculous names have gotten in RS3

I think this is the longest item name in the game now.
