Osu skills transfer perfectly to staring at stock market fluctuations across the trading floor

The only thing I've noticed changing irl from playing osu! hours daily is my ability to tap my left index/middle fingers a lot faster and consistently than my right hand, which is not something that affects me irl.

Fastest in the world even.
I mean, being able to do that after only 96 playcount is really impressive.

only thing i've noticed any increase in is humanbenchmark reaction time test, well for most people anyways


still have absolutely no hand eye coordination irl

reaction time for other video games pretty much. nothing in the physical world. and how the hell do you only have 96 playcount

A car came at me with AR10 and I managed to hit it.

But no seriously I know this is not relevant to me "top player" but I fail to notice anything outside of gaming.
Gaming is my real life I am A nerd

Yeah, my reflexes improved from osu!
Went from like 270ms to 190~210ms.
My hand-eye coordination is also better than before osu!

When you meet a rank 8000 in multiplayer do you think "wow this is going to be easy"? You can't tell someone's skill just from their profile or rank.
every game is hard

Reflexes did improved. I dodged a fast thrown baseball coming directly to me.

Aims didn't affect at real life because it only affects cursor aiming on computer.

They certainly have. I was sitting and minding my own business in the school cafeteria, alone as always, when this girl I've had a crush on, slipped just as she walked past me. With the reflexes and improved decision making I've got from all the hours spent in osu!, I managed to both catch her and everything on her food tray. I could tell she was impressed, and so was I; I had not even been able to catch a ball since I was 5 when my dad rolled it over to me.

Edit: just remembered another moment. I was in school when this school bully approached me, he had always been on me; I have a slight suspicion he might have been a closet homo. Anyway, he wanted to fight and I was scared shitless. When he finally threw the first punch, it felt like slowmotion, like AR 4. Even though it was slow as hell, I could just not read it and I just stood there. The hit connected and my nose started gushing out blood. I might have been able to dodge it if a Hard Rock mod existed irl.

osu! has made me more ambidextrous in every day life and also significantly improved using the left side of my body for technical stuff and sports

I can CAD faster and that's about it.

I think I have a phobia for vinyl records now (if bad things count)...

I fell for that when he asked to play multiplayer with me a while back. I was shocked at how fast he was. He plays offline.

it improved my aim for throwing a ball on a certain point.
but only on a 2d line. I still suck as much as always at basketball since its not only the lenght but also the height

Well, I did write an entire exam essay without any hand cramps. So there's that, I guess.

Today working i dodge a 200kg thing what fell off on top of my hand. That was an AR10 dodge. No joking, i didn't even notice the thing droping. I just see my hand got out of the way in no time.
Wtf. I can't dodge a small ball from 20m. How the fuck did i dodge a 200k thing from 20cm om top of my hand.
Osu gods want me to keep playing. I know the way. DYKTW?
