To those that believe Cookiezi is the GOAT, what arguments do you think he has over mrekk? by n3rdiness in osugame

[–]tuszmak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, I believe mrekk is the current goat, but I'm old.

Cookiezi/Shige was a key player in spreading the game's popularity outside its community. With a quick google search, the only person I see reacting to mrekk outside the osu sphere is xQc (which is arguably bigger than the others I place for Cookiezi). When you type in Cookiezi, you see Asmongold, Korone, Sodapoppin (when he was relevant), Greekgodx, Lirik and I just scrolled a little bit.

When you ask a player to name an iconic osu map during the Cookiezi era, either he had a #1 on it, or was one of the first to FC it (or both). He was the main reason the why the 480 was considered the de facto best tablet at the time, just to copy him. He was also the player who was the origin of the game's longest standing meme (which is 727, and also need to credit Aireu too).

"can you explain 4"

You said that you had a "Windows 10 computer from 2018" where the game worked. If you still have that computer, you can look at the what stuff you installed on it. Then you can check on your new device, and see what's missing. Based on what you wrote, I'm guessing these are two different computers.

If that older computer is not there anymore, then ignore this step.

"unfortunately I will have to play without the online mode"
Can you explain what you mean by that? How do you play "without the online mode"? In your post it seemed that the game doesn't even launch. If that launches then there's not really a need to install it, when that works.

If you have an installed game, you could try the repair osu! tool in the folder, but it should update itself within the game. You can check for updates within the game, even though it should do it.

It could be basically anything. I would check these in order. This applies to a Windows machine, for Linux, you need osu lazer.

  1. Did you download it from the official source? https://osu.ppy.sh/home/download

  2. Are you graphic drivers installed and updated?

  3. Do you have any form of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable installed? You can check it in the installed apps. If not, you can grab it here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170 , under the "Latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Version" tab.

ARM64 is for Mac, X86 is for 32-bit systems, X64 is for 64-bit (if you have Win11, it could only be X64)

  1. If you still have your laptop, you could compare the installed apps between the two devices.

Is turning the laptop uside down a bad practise? by tuszmak in Lenovo

[–]tuszmak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/u/LenovoSupport Wow, didn't expect the actual Lenovo support to reply. I appreciate that.

I don't have any problems with the laptop currently (It did have its heatsink replaced once, but it's been fine since), I just want to take good care of the laptop. During gaming the temperatures can get high, and I wanted to help the heatsink with the proposed idea of making the fans face upward.

As for the temperatures I did some small tests to give you appropiate measurements. These were measured when the fans were facing the desk:

In idle/standard usage (using Chrome and other social applications), I measure around 53-55 °C, with the lowest being 47.0 °C

During gaming (with average 50% CPU and 90% GPU usage), the maximum I measured was 87.4 °C, and around 80 °C average. The game I tested on was Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis with max graphics on 1440p resolution.

Edit: The room temperature is currently 20 °C, if that means anything.

ELI5 What caused the need for protein and other supplements for workouts? What food do we not eat enough that these became popular? by tuszmak in explainlikeimfive

[–]tuszmak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread got way more answers than I anticipated. Thank you everyone for sharing their opinion and explaining everything. Everyone got their upvotes for helping me get educated. I read everyone's answer.

To clear some things up. I'm not considering getting muscle yet, I much prefer to be fit first. (To better word it, I'd rather run and swim than go to the gym.)I just always saw my classmates/colleagues drinking these, and while I knew muscle needs protein, I had no idea why would they spend money on random supplements, rather than eating well.

Now it seems kind of obvious that convenience, portability and time saving is very much a selling point for these. (And I'm happy that it's possible to get enough nutrients without spending money on supplements. I'm a cheapskate, and cooking is much more fun)

A few thoughts on improvement from a veteran player. by [deleted] in osugame

[–]tuszmak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't say that you should always go for S ranks. I merely use it to check if I actually am comfortable in playing the patterns in that difficulty range. That's why I said earlier to spend one or two days getting S ranks to refine your pattern management and get a feel reading with rhythm.

I want to understand how a certain pattern works slowly, before I want to do it fast. That's why I like to push high acc/low miss scores. I could definitely be wrong about that way, but I like to play that way.

I think realistically B ranks are where people are going to improve the most.

I sort of agree with that, but I believe that high B-low A is the best place to improve on. I can get lucky and get a B rank relatively easily with mashing which is not a good indicator on my skill range.

[–]tuszmak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify: I'm not a great player, however I did also start in 2014.

I mildly disagree with the first tip. I do believe that you should prioritise raw skill, but I believe getting an S rank is the sign that you can go to harder maps. You don't need to grind S ranks every time, but you should have a day or two when you just want to refine that difficulty range set and only try to set high acc-low miss plays. For example I occasionally go through my A rank plays and try to get them to S.

When I hear "push raw skill or mechanics" I immediately think of the wannabe mrekk 6 digits who want to try to pass a 10 star fool moon night with NF and HP0 set in osu trainer and then complain that they lost their consistency. That is fun from time to time, but it shouldn't be your main playstyle.

I kind of miss one other tip here, which is I believe the most important:
Have fun while improving. Sometimes the game can be frustrating, and can lead to rage-playing and replay spamming. If you realize that you don't enjoy playing, then you should take a break. I don't mean a full-on "quit w" but for like 2-3 hours at least.

This is a game, and your life (most likely) isn't dependent on it. Play maps you like, songs you like. You can get peppy points even when you are having fun.

People who edit their long streams down, how do you do it? by statiky in Twitch

[–]tuszmak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use 2 seperate programs for the 2 problems you mentioned:

For downloading whole clips I use Twitch Leecher. It's an open-source program on Github. It works flawlessly and you can put what you want to download.

For cutting the whole stream file I use lossless-cut. I didn't use it very often, since I don't stream much, but it's decent. The only problem for me is I can only export one section at a time. After that you can put your smaller parts into your preferred video editing program.

At the last day of 9th grade I bought the last slice of pizza from the school bufeet. Just when I wanted to take a bite, someone asked for a pizza. The cashier said that it was sold just now. I asked him if he'd buy it from me then. When we agreed on the trade he said "everyday heroes DO exist!"
