Ok.
I'll tell you all a story.
4 years ago, there was a chatroom called #ouhou. In that chatroom, there was a guy from the USA Taiko Scene called Sander_Cohen. He later changed his name to Sander-don. Now, Sander taught me how to play, etc etc, then we stopped being friends and some stuff you don't particularly need to hear or would care to hear happened. I was not a particularly liked person in these years.
Taiko was not fun. I played and that was fun, but the times were not.
So, I started mapping, almost everyone hated the maps, called them shit and all that jazz.
Then I mapped something a lot of you might know, a little map called "Kick-Ass Kung-Fu Carnival". I developed a style, I developed a taste, I developed a legacy. Now, personally I dont think the maps before this were that bad but you can still try them if you find maps from like early 2012 or later 2011 and stuff.
This is when Taiko became fun. I started getting respected, people liked my maps, yadda yadda, I'm still kind of a loser now but just a little bit less so.
The game progressively got easier for me, as each time I quit, when I came back and warmed my skills back up, they improved at least 2 times. I haven't improved a lot lately but i'm getting there, even though I have other things I need to do.
