I remember I saw this video and I thought it was cool so I first got the mobile version of the game because I was an idiot. After a few weeks of playing Opsu I decided to play the actual game and it felt 100x better than the mobile version. It kinda sucks that nobody I know plays Osu except for like one of my friends. All my other friends say the game is trash but what do they know they only played it for like 5 minutes.

This was the video I watched btw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWU6ayRb7Js

I was an huge fan of the osu games on ds. When I found out that there was a pc version of it I signed the heck up right away. Like from day one all the way back in 2007 I was around. Did not really start playing seriously until about 3 months ago.

Also I like anime and there's lots of anime music which is cool.

I was a huge fan of league streamers and the one I used to watch in these times (2014) was boxbox, sometimes he stop playing league and switch to osu!, When I saw that game it looked really impressive to me so I downloaded the game and start to play (non seriously) and the most of times I have played I got a feel like I'm improving, all my osu sessions don't pass through 15 - 30 mins and I quit XD, so the seriously gameplay starts at 2017 - 18 where I start climbing more and more, it cost me like infinite retryes but that doesn't matter.
Today I take it like a distraction game, I want to take it seriously but my skill in-game isn't like what it was

I was in a skype group with a few good friends, and one of them played osu! religiously. I decided to hop on with her and now I'm here

2011 from an anime bootleg stream forum that had a thread about it. After quite a while of activity in it I gave it a try and here I am now, pushing my 8th year.

Had some really nice friends from there that I played multis with. Lost contact with all of them by now though, think I'm the only one that really got stuck with it.

how i discorvered osu was a bit all over the place

but to make a long story short, i found out about osu because of my friend's facebook vid

longer story:
1.i saw a vid of my friend doing pparkour
2. the song he used in said video was "dear you"
3. i liked the song so i listen to it for a few weeks
4. in the recommendations of the video, it showed an osu gameplay of the song
5. initially i played osu stream on the iphone, and i thought it was great
6. another friend at my school randomly asked if i knew of a game called osu
7. i did
8. he said to play it, so i downloaded the game and the rest is history

was on a friend's steam profile
literally in the middle of his user page it said 'rank 30k {or something like that} on osu'
searched it up
I was bored as fuck at this point, like out of my mind, from just grinding CS:GO comp for hours straight
downloaded it
started playing it on and off
got more and more bored
was at a relatives house
played it on their PC

yeah im here now

I knew the game back at 2009 when I was still a young lad
Never really got to play reason being I didn't even have a pc back then
A few years passed I forgot about it
Then recently a friend of mine streamed it and I was like "I wanna try this game"
I've played osu! ever since

Mine is actually really simple, I was on discord and saw one of the server members playing osu! and I had heard about it when I was in the market for drawing tablets and actually bought a osu! tablet (Star g640) and id thought it would be fun to try, now I cant stop :).

Well i bought my first PC in this store with a sign that said "50 USD PC's with 10 games on it" but i rlly didn't care about the games it was suppsed to be for school, one day my internet went out for like 1 week and i remembered the sign of the store so i looked for the games and osu was one of them, at first i just played the 5 songs that come with the game, mostly "chasers - lost" i fc'd the first diff with almost every mod (fun fact: at first i loved HR and hated HD, but now i can't stand playing a song with HR and i never disable HD) except for Dt because i was a noob XD, my internet came back i updated the game and played for a while and after 2 weeks i made my account

This was back when I was playing Touhou. Basically, this one kid on a Discord server was complaining about hard osu was. So I said "But is it harder than Touhou?" And they said yes. Despite not having played both games. So I decided to give it a shot. Got a little swept off my feet, and kinda used mouse buttons instead of keyboard, which sucked. But when I really got the hang of it after switching to keyboard, osu became genuinely fun and I quickly sinked a ton of hours into it.

I originally found it through searching 'how to improve aim' in games I played. Never thought Osu would be the only game i'd end up playing... no regrets.

There was a guy I knew who was obsessed with Rohulk I watched one of Rohulk's vids and I downloaded it and I couldn't realize why I can't play with my keyboard.
Skip forward 1 year and another friend of mine was playing osu so I joined him and he helped me with the keyboard thingy and since then I pretty much played.

To be honest, I don't exactly remember how I got into osu!. But I remember that I loved watching osu! on YouTube. I can't remember the youtuber/channel name though. Probably just some known youtubers.

My friend forced me to play it and then my addiction started while he quit the game. You could almost say he transferred an addiction

I discovered osu! through TikTok. I saw a few osu!players and thought, "This is a great rhythm game!" then I looked at the comments and saw the game was called osu! so I installed it and now I am kinda addicted.
