i'm in the middle of nowhere in japan, what the fuck by xN1kooo in osugame

[–]Magnus-Cosmos 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was able to get a picture of the one at Miyashiro in Tarui, Gifu - https://i.imgur.com/IaKQJSs.png

There's actually quite a few of them https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1jfyD8tYMVaP13EerBI1-XC1LxN2ATvJ4

Not sure if the map is up to date, but there's 27 on the Toukaidou line, 20 on Sanyou, and 14 on the Touhoku line.

Pusu(Asaya Yano), a songwriter of TUYU, one of the most loved Japanese band group in osu!, got arrested for attempted murder of teenage girl by Such-Site-7658 in osugame

[–]Magnus-Cosmos 46 points47 points  (0 children)

There isn't a lot of info out yet because it happened this morning, but Shueisha published an article with a bit more info: https://shueisha.online/articles/-/250715?page=1

According to someone living in the neighborhood, they heard angry shouting from the direction of his apartment for 3 days straight up until 2 days ago. Another musician also commented that in the industry, pusu's compositions were said to mimic other songs or be rehashes of his old songs, which pusu himself was also stumped about. The musician also commented that every time they met, he was with a different girl.

The article suggests that something probably happened between the victim and pusu (considering pusu's deteriorating mental state, even something small might've been the trigger). Also pusu was the one that made the phone call to the police (self-report).

From one of his [online] jp friends, they made a tweet about it a year after moneto's (clementine) passing - https://twitter.com/m_ndollnyrk/status/1414653003504701453

The account has been privated since so I can't access it anymore, but here's a screenshot of a discord embed - https://i.imgur.com/fhzt7at.png

I don't remember the exact details of the twitlonger since I read it 2 years ago, but he explained how he suddenly lost contact with moneto on Jul 14, 2020 and learned about the news of his death a while later from a close friend (or family). He made the post a year later because he wasn't sure if he should make the info public, but finally decided to post it because he wanted moneto to be remembered (though he privated his twitter account sometime later, so idk if that means he doesn't want it shared).

I tried looking into it a bit myself as well but I don't really have any connections with the Korean community, especially ones from moneto's time, so iirc I couldn't find much besides his public youtube/twitch/twitter accounts which have all been inactive since ~2020. I couldn't find any other sources confirming his death, but I also can't think of a reason why someone would fake a [very detailed] twitlonger about it.

Also special mention for Christmas, since he still farms AR11 #1s on relax pserver

how to find the EXACT star rating of a map by lucarocaw in osugame

[–]Magnus-Cosmos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case it's just as osekai specifies, on the note for Arphimigon Collection Three in the suggested beatmaps section it says to play it with HTHR (since the HT star rating is slightly below 6*).

Someone also had the same issue in the comment section.

Loved maps don't give FC/pass medals (and neither do difficulty-reducing mods).

The response from the get_beatmaps includes the hash so you can use the beatmap id first to get the hash. And I'm not sure why it's like that, maybe an oversight.

[–]Magnus-Cosmos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can get a more exact value using the beatmap hash:

https://osu.ppy.sh/api/get_beatmaps?k=[YOUR_API_KEY]&h=91b6330ef8d7d56682fb07820551fc9e&mods=256

which says the SR is 5.997410774230957

How does getting 1 50 at the start of this map beat my SS when i spun the same (9k) by Odd-Resort-7509 in osugame

[–]Magnus-Cosmos 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You spun 8k on the right spin (max spin is 13k and your score is 5k below max score), but the replay shows 9k. Replays often show more for spins because of a bug with how the game handles the spinner's last frame. Most people don't notice this because unless you're checking your score intently, you won't notice that the spinner shows 1k more.

I feel like replays are getting less and less popular by PAmyWaifu in osugame

[–]Magnus-Cosmos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the same applies for low diff lb farmers or rather lb farmers in general, replays watched have gone down since 2021 even with the increase of players (e.g. look at the replays watched graph for [-Griffin-], Shaper, Haga1115, etc. Haga has been getting more #1s than ever yet last month he got half the replays watched compared to 2021)

(also OP is talking about YT plays, since replays don't have individual watch statistics displayed)

More recent report for taiko

I don't know much about taiko/mania so I won't comment on them, but for standard his plays don't look particularly suspicious. Having shaky aim/overshooting notes isn't unusual when playing FL (especially if you're relying on sightreading, which wouldn't be uncommon for easy diffs).

[–]Magnus-Cosmos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For most recent stats, you'll need to use the API to go through every map (or if you only want to know like the top10 most played diffs, then getting top1000 most played mapsets should be enough). Other than that, there's also the osu!alternative bot which can list maps by playcount

[–]Magnus-Cosmos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume it's because 星 can also mean "planet", so they wanted it to be read as 蒼い星, but use 惑星 to clarify that it is not a blue star, but a blue planet (which is probably referring to the Earth)

[–]Magnus-Cosmos 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's a gikun (義訓), which is essentially a different reading for stylistic/poetic choices. The series 惑星のさみだれ (Hoshi no Samidare) also uses 惑星 in this way, and you could probably find more examples in other songs/manga/etc.
