Good/Bad habits that you developed from osu

I was wondering what habits people develop after playing osu for a while.

Things like spacing out more often, or pain on wrist or fingers, that sort of things. For me I seem to space out more often and just rely on my natural instincts to carry me throughout a boring session of history class. I also tap my index finger randomly now which can get annoying because when I stop its sore.

How about you?

Randomly tapping to songs in my head. (I sometimes bring my pencil into it if I have one in my hand.)

I usually end up doing that as well, except my pencil is just flying around as if it was a pen for my tablet :P

That's what I meant when I bring my pencil. Tapping your pencil to non existent music is a inconsiderate thing to do because it can be very distracting/annoying.

Believe it or not, tapping with pencils was a thing in my middle school years ago, and it is one of the reasons why I don't like American rap that goes on today

Whenever I hear Nano.Ripe - Gekka on the radio, I start picturing the beatmap in my head and tapping/playing it with an invisible mouse/keyboard. (memorized all the circles in that song kekekeke)

Good: Better motor coordination maybe?
And by osmose, I got more easy going. Which is good, I don't like when I'm cranky or cynic. But that's my normal 'persona' :/

Bad: Felt some pain, but I'm taking care to prevent it.

Guess that's it.

I think there was a topic just as this, a week ago or something...

Well there is one thing.

When I am listening to some random song in the radio or youtube or whatever, I always start to imagine the song as a map/storyboard.

"Maybe I should do that" but then I am always too lazy to start it up.

Good Thing: I learned to smoke more weed when I played a lot. It helped to laugh at all that weird music
Bad Thing: I wouldn't answer my phone

This thread is pretty interesting to me but in a negative way.

Most of these responses are generalized around how important people's ability to tap fast has become to them. Whereas when an extremely similar thread was made about three or so years ago, most of the responses where about how people learned to appreciate, or gained a greater appreciation of music through osu!

Kind of OT from the thread but being the nostalgia fag I am I can't help but point this out.

If this counts, osu! only served as a gateway for me to become the bemanifag I am today.

Prior to osu!, I only listened to metal and was edgy as fuck, so I guess I'm greatful for that.

thats funny, because i only see 1 response about tapping fast in this thread. i knew nostalgia made the past look better, but apparently it also makes you see things in the present that arent there.
or maybe you just like to hate on people for no reason.

Yeah, that's so annoying ._.

The good thing is that I met a bunch of new music, now I listen a lot of Japanese rock/pop. The bad thing: My friends are always like "WTF are you listening to?"

Gladly, mine is mostly an instrumental. At first it was pretty good.

-Left middlefinger got really achy after a few weeks of playing mouse+keyboard, couldn't take streaming at all. Switched to ringfinger and had no probs since.
-I get angrier and angrier at my own lack of ability every time I play this game, dammit.
-Mouse accuracy has improved quite a bit.

not really habits but guhh /o/

I have a hard time using a mouse with higher sensitivity than 600, heck I'm struggling with 600 or anything below 400, even though I used to use 1600 before. Also, I don't need a music player anymore whenever I go anywhere. I played so much that the songs are basically drilled into my head and I can replay those I want to hear

To be able to retry at the speed of light is a handy skill to have.

Also, even though I don't use a mouse to play I find myself moving it in a much more efficient manner than before.

Good thing is I immedeately move my cursor and click on something the first second I notice it, giving me an edge in various games or reducing the time something takes by a few seconds. On the downside, I sometimes double-click automatically even if I didn't intend to, leading to various angry moments on the computer.

^^^ those have become an everyday occurrence
also, insomnia, going for runs while listening to brain, and incessant OCD combined with sped-up reflexes.

forgot to mention that i now have a song reference for nearly every moment in life :? :( :o :)

Good/Bad habits (or rabbits whatever you guys like):
- Obsessed with getting above the A - rank, I only like S and SS which means that sometimes I will not give up on a song and play for long hours just trying to get S or SS.
- I never ragequit on osu, this makes me upset.
- I'm addicted playing beatmaps made from video games music and anime music.
- I'm not sure if playing this song and "/np-ing" it when Remi_Flan is around on the osu channel is trolling or complete madness.
