i guess your friends just notice you more
and random people walk up behind you at school and go "HOLY SHIT HIS FINGERS ARE GOING BRRRRRRR"
but yeah i don't really know any benefits of osu! other than that i know at least 98% of the silhouettes of characters whenever i watch bad apple
and i've been playing for 3-4 years

i'm really fucking lazy

I think that osu! is really helpful if you're doing something music-related like singing or playing an instrument as it helps you to keep a better sense of rhythm. This applies to almost all rhythm games as well.

From playing osu! for about a year, it has really improved my reaction time, typing speed, rhythm perception, and finger strength. And now I can brag to everyone about the fact that I'm top 4.5k in taiko.

just maybe, but as a mapper i feel more creative, like i can be skeptical about what i make, and i can create gimmicks in my works

legitimate proof that mapping is not dead

Helps me to be more aware of how shitty I am with rhythms if there’s no drum beats XD all joking aside, I definitely am more aware about the layers my favourite songs have now. I’m trying to beatmap one of my favourite songs and well, didn’t realise it has some underlying beats etc. I play the guitar and osu is actually helping me to be slightly better at understanding rhythm

I suck at Osu XD

More on reaction time, a bit of aim but I rarely play fps so I can't say to a full extent.

Playing with mods is fun

Not an improvement, per se, but I feel like it's enhanced my music listening experience.

I listen to breakcore and shizz like that and think to myself "how would this be charted in mania" and somehow, for some reason I don't know why, it makes me feel super super good.

Literally the only reason I still know how to do that.
Outside of exams I haven't used an actual pen in years.

Other than that there's no real benefit of playing the game, except RSI if you like pain.

-More varied and larger song taste
-Some Music theory knowledge (thanks to mapping)
-Stamina, reaction time and a bit of speed.

Can't think of anything else but I think that is it.

full size version should be on my profile ig
