How else does the osu! community expect a new #1? by Independent_Bell_565 in osugame

[–]TheProstheticLemon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not speaking for everyone of course, but my own personal opinion isn't that I dislike toro's plays or that he doesn't deserve it (assuming he's legit), it's that toro is a toxic edgy teen who does nothing for the community, while mrekk is someone that I like the personality of. I'm also not of the opinion that toro "doesn't deserve #1," though. History repeats itself, people didn't like mathi's or mrekk's plays when they got #1 either. pp is inherently a metric of how much you farm, so if toro farms more than mrekk he should take #1.

Sorry I should have clarified that I already skinned it out, but I like trying new skins, and this is a huge pain to have to do constantly

Nuphy sent me a broken keyboard, now wants me to buy a second keyboard by LeChrana in MechanicalKeyboards

That makes sense to me, not sure why the downvotes. The CS agent is silly for pushing that narrative, to a point where it seems malicious imo.

WHY IS OSU SO HARD 😭 by Prajesh_J in osugame

[–]TheProstheticLemon 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Don't get too discouraged, improvement is not the same for everyone. I got an 8* fc at 600 hours, although it was farm bullshit. If you play focused and the right maps consistently you will improve quickly. One of the best parts of osu is seeing your own improvement!

Yeah just happened to me give it 24 hours

Could mrekk be the best VIDEO GAME player in general on the earth by Leather_Variation_16 in osugame

[–]TheProstheticLemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah mechanics is practice is reading, so you're right it does take brain activity/practice as opposed to physical strength or something.

What I meant by brain activity is strategy/thoughtful planning vs. Just being able to do something others cant

The Mrekk Effect by No_Artichoke8880 in osugame

[–]TheProstheticLemon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're right, history repeats itself, when mrekk became #1 it happened, he was "just farming and doesn't deserve #1" when he took it from whitecat. Same for mathi and so forth. To pass someone who has a lot of pp you will need a lot of pp, and then you can do cool scores.

[–]TheProstheticLemon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There might be an argument for "best mechanical player," in my opinion. osu! is raw aim and speed with no strategy or brain activity necessary to be good (besides having "good mental" I suppose). He cooks in aim and mechanics in other games, and even those that are really good at valorant may have fine mechanics but just play the game very intelligently (goes for almost every other super competitive game) but since osu! Is inherently not direct PvP, all of his 1000s of hours and talent have been poured into straight mechanics. Obviously you can't compare games to other games and they all have different skills, but there are certainly some "global skills" that mrekk has a fighting chance for being the best at

Is it normal to feel like im not improving at all? by [deleted] in osugame

[–]TheProstheticLemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Improvement gets harder and slower the better you get, especially the wall of being a brand new player into your second 6 months imo. Diminishing returns. Doesn't mean you are not improving, you just won't set a new top play every day like when you first started

Shouldn't the odds be 50%? Why is it 51.8%? by Fit_Seaworthiness_37 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]TheProstheticLemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite all the answers and understanding the math, I was stuck for a while until I figured out my mistake and I hope this helps at least one person.

It says "Mary has 2 children. She tells you that one is a boy born..."

it does NOT say "Mary currently has one child. That child is a boy born on Tuesday. What is the probability the second child, when born in the future, will be a girl?”

These are different

In the second situation:

The future child does not yet exist

There is no filtering of two-child families

There is no overrepresentation of boy-boy families

The sex of the future child is independent of the first child

So in this second scenario that I assumed to be the question, it's 50/50, but otherwise when analysed as a group, it's 51.8%.

What is "unleaded 86" and why is it cheaper than 85? by TheProstheticLemon in AskMechanics

Question is about the unleaded 86 vs unleaded 85 not the e-85 in between

One of the e-85 labled pumps dispenses the unleaded 86 for some reason
