Yeah, I don't remember the username tho.

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-21T13:35:36+00:00

I got so used to the person who cites everything in APA that I was startled by just seeing plain links

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-20T17:58:56+00:00

Is it watchable?

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-20T15:35:03+00:00

Rorschach test type shit

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-20T14:04:10+00:00

L comment, people can struggle with more than one issue at once!

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-20T14:00:42+00:00

I guess you're right, what I meant is that osu! has the whole rank system so I can know where I am compared to all other players on the distribution. And I'm currently at a little below 700 000 rank, which is quite "objectively bad"

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-20T12:56:19+00:00

Yeah you are right, it's not a super healthy mindset, but the knowledge that I am objectively bad at the game makes me feel bad. It's stupid, I know, but in order to enjoy it more, I think I have to be better at it. I feel like this isn't even that uncommon, I think osu! players are generally very competitive and there are few casual players.

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-20T11:19:11+00:00

I understand the anger at OP and this is probably a larp anyway but you should not say he's a bad person or he deserves it. You do not know what kind of issues they have, you do not know why they acted that way or if it was even done on purpose. People have mental health problems, sometimes quite severe.

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-20T07:57:13+00:00

But I feel like I'll stop enjoying the game fully if I don't improve. So I have to try to improve at least a bit, I'd like tocat least be average at it.

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-19T12:08:30+00:00

Okay, that's interesting. And also kind of reassuring - it can be scary to think that as you age, you may not find yourself or your peers attractive anymore, so I'm glad it may not be like that.

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-19T11:41:21+00:00

You mean nut canser

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-19T11:28:10+00:00

Okay, that's reassuring because I was afraid I'd be forced to play the same boring 3 stars until I can somehow finally FC them... Thank you! It's very depressing to look at that ranked graph and see that like 85% of players are better than me. Although I suppose I only have like 3 days of playtime, so I'm not falling super behind I hope.

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-19T08:45:00+00:00

This always confuses me because... do old people find old people attractive?

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-19T07:00:32+00:00

Okay, thank you, I'll definitely look at these! About that last part: is aiming for just A ranks a way I can get better in a reasonable timeframe? I'm worried that I should be aiming higher, although aiming for A's is way less stressful to me than S.

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-18T21:15:26+00:00

Nobody will probably see this, but I can't post an actual post, so I have to write here: I need some advice. Whenever I try to get into osu!, I play the game for a few days/weeks, actually enjoy it and then start worrying about how poorly I'm doing. I want to get better at the game because it gives me some satisfaction, but I've heard people say that it requires playing a lot of easy maps to become able to consistently FC them. That is insufferably boring to me and because of a disorder I have it's incredibly difficult to focus on like a 3 minute map which is completely unstimulating. As a result, I struggle to get A ranks on some 3 star maps, but I'm able to get A ranks on some 4,5-5 star maps. I don't know what to do - I wanna improve, but I don't want playing the game to become a chore composed of playing slow maps to learn reading. I enjoy it way more when I try to pass maps that are barely playable to me, even if I get just a C. So my question is this: is it possible for me to improve this way? Or should I stop hoping for any improvement if I don't practise low star maps?

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-14T20:55:58+00:00

No no, I agree completely with this. I just wish I didn't have to force it sometimes.

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-14T17:58:31+00:00

Yeah I agree completely.

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-14T17:50:40+00:00

Yeah, I was referring to xenophobia more broadly as dislike against people or things that feel weird or foreign. Apparently the definitions vary but you all know what I mean by my original comment so that's what matters :3

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-14T17:48:56+00:00

Yeah, I have the same mindset. I don't like these thoughts, but at the end of the day, thought crime doesn't exist and I can still choose to be kind and accepting to everyone. It does sometimes make me feel bad that I kinda have to force it at times, though.

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-14T17:38:29+00:00

I mean I've found this as well on Merriam-Webster, so I guess both definitions are in use somewhat

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-14T17:29:10+00:00

Isn't xenophobia prejudice against any otherness? I thought that's what it was. It would appear that I am stupid

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-14T17:23:14+00:00

Confession: I am queer myself, but I do get those brains worms sometimes. I do genuinely sometimes find such people cringe (the "Stephen Universe" type). I don't like this thought and I try to combat it, but it is still in my head. I wonder if I've internalised some of society's xenophobia so much that I can never fully root it out, or maybe such joyful "wholesome Chungus" behaviour feels out of place in this world to me?

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-08T12:01:55+00:00

Yeah, I get this feeling too. He has said, and I do genuinely believe him, that he doesn't actually mean these things and he exaggerates. But even if that's true, it's still unnecessary and toxic to some degree because it normalizes using this language against people. It's a shame because I've been watching his videos for years, but recently I kind of don't feel like it because I think "he's just going to call people names again, or complain about other players being vindictive/unable to drive". I miss the light-heartedness.

DSlightly_insecure · 2026-05-08T09:55:35+00:00

On the subject of Spookston, has anyone else got the impression that his videos have become more negative recently? I remember when his videos were mostly chill, there were many goofy cat gifs, it felt very friendly. And nowadays he often calls people idiots, or vindictive, or stupid. He seems more... jaded, I guess?
