Didn't know what to watch on twitch, so I decided to randomly watch osu for curiosity. At this time, OWC 2015 was happening and I had no idea what was going on but it was pretty interesting (never made my account back then because I was like this game is too weeb for me). Fast forward to 2017 where I watched OWC again and finally decided to give this game a try.

My laptop isn't good and I don't have any money so I looked up free games that would run on terrible computers and that's the story of how I found osu! the end.

Watched a streamer called "Sodapoppin" react to gameplay of I and I decided to give it a download :)

Someone on discord was flexing that they could play 3* maps, it looked fun so I got it.

I don't actually remember how I found osu! but I remember that I played it to get better aim in Minecraft for 3 months offline before making an account on New Year's Eve 2017. The first map I ever downloaded was this one: https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/653835

I found it in the description of a Miraie video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvmrEvwBROE

One of the first ever osu! videos I watched and the first Miraie video I watched. Got addicted to playing since the day I downloaded it and never looked back since. This game is going to be a part of me for years to come xD

A friend of mine asked me if I wanted to play it and I thought sure why not so here I am 4 years later...

Weird ex-boyfriend (boyfriend at the time) showed it to me cause his friend was obsessed with it and got him into it. He knew I loved rhythm games. He put me on a hard beatmap right off the bat. Only every played rhythm games on ps4, mobile and arcade machines. Never touched it again until like a week or two ago. Its fun.

My friend once told me about this game, I played it for a bit then proceeded to play sparingly for about a year then a friend from discord invited me to a multi game and it'd really just gone on from there, they've stopped playing now but I'm on my to RSI baby!

I saw a gameplay video from my Ukrainian friend in April 2017, however, I registered here late because I didn't have a computer. I am enjoying this computer music game.

I discovered osu! through a friend of mine, asked him to give me his osu! files (because I had bad internet troubles for a few months, hence why I've only really been able to play online recently), been pretty addicted to it ever since!

Ever since I was a kid, I've always played and enjoyed rhythm games. And one day, youtube recommended me "and some said he never played osu again". After watching the video in awe, I decided I want to click circles for a living. But now I click arrows instead... ヽ(*・ω・)ノ

Friends.

I used to play Rebeats, and, to make a map on there, you must make it on Osu and transfer it to Robeats. l decided 'so, l have this game, so why not experiment with it?'. l enjoyed so I stayed.

i thought osu was one in the same with obs. i was...youngish. then i found out what it was, picked it up, didn't play it for absolutely ages up until now. i've finally decided to start.

I was playing Wolf Team (a used-to-be-good game (now P2W)) and someone was playing really good so I asked him how he got so good and he told me, Osu! lmao

I watched a video on Youtube by one of my favorite youtubers of that moment.

A lot of my friends back in ~2015 were playing it, but I never really gave it a proper look until a few years later when one day a friend was over at my house and noticed osu!'s shortcut on my desktop and was like "Oh wow, you play osu! too?", to which I replied that I had it installed but I never actually played it. He showed me what the game was about and I've pretty much been playing it everyday since then. Funny to think that I could have never played osu! if my friend hadn't noticed the shortcut.

back in 2016 (maybe???) i found an osu gameplay video of rex duodecim angelus since i was a major homestuck fan at the time and thought the game looked interesting. didn't really play the game until last year and got hooky wookied. :^)

I remember randomly watching an osu! video on youtube, then I decided to download it but I didn't actually play it until a couple of months later. But yea, I really enjoy playing osu!

Was looking up Geometry Dash versus other games when I was about 14~15 years old and one of the search suggestions said "GD vs osu" I was curious as to what this game was so I checked it out, although not expecting much because I'd never heard of such a game. When I saw the gameplay of it I thought to myself something along the lines of "Woah, this is actually really cool, and confusing as all hell. I wanna try it" I then looked it up and was very happily surprised to find that the game was free to play. Got it. Instantly found out that I was trash at it. Here I am, 2 years on, still trash, yet enjoying the hell out of it.

I've discovered osu by a weeb Youtuber name Miraie and he was playing it and it looked fun so he inspired me to play osu!
