Poll of the Day > Almost perfect run. Already past my high score. 95% complete.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Mouse dies. I die. Game failed. Score never saved because I didn't get complete.

Hurts, man. Really hurts.

Context would be nice.

I was playing osu!. A weaboo rhythm game.

Which map?

That one on the hardest difficulty. I have over 200 plays trying to get a perfect run on it.
---

I may or may not have just FC'd it on my first try, despite being a little rusty with the tablet from not playing the game in ages >.>

Either way, the song's only 4:30. That's not too bad. You'll get it in due course; near-perfects are usually a product of skill and practice paying off, not fluke.
---

Well I use a mouse. So it's a lot harder for me. >.>
---

I've also put over 300 hours into the game, despite not touching it recently, so I've probably got a bit more practice.
---

Yeah, I only have about 85 hours over the past 3 years.
---

That game looks fun. This is the first I've heard of it.

Yeah, there's about 4 different enjoyment phases to the game.

1: You start playing, and you hate it because it's so annoying to try and time thing properly.
2: You can now properly time things and begin to enjoy the game.
3: You are now playing for points and hate the game despite constantly playing it.
4: You no longer play for points and just play for enjoyment. You like the game again.

There might be other phases, but I've forgotten them.

Bonus points because it's completely free. I did buy a drawing tablet to use with it because it was just so much more enjoyable than using a mouse (having been a huge fan of EBA back in the day, touch input just felt much better), but plenty of people have done extremely well with a mouse. It's a good time.

I never really found that. The change in how rankings are done has sort of killed my ability to progress, given how much I slide back whenever I drift away from the game and the kind of difficulties I need to be FC'ing to get anywhere respectable, and that's made it hard to get back into it, but my enjoyment followed a pretty standard pattern of growing and waning interest.

Deserved for calling yourself a gamer and not using a wired mouse. Gg, sorry bruh
---

I would, but the cord always gets caught on something. Also, I never called myself a gamer. And even if I did, that doesn't necessarily mean hardcore gamer. And even if I was, there are wireless mice these days that have the same or even less delay and the same or better accuracy than wired mice, like some of those Logitech mice.

It's just like Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan (Elite Beat Agents) but bigger and played with a mouse.


Also this is the reason I don't ever use a wireless mouse.
