There was this guy that I met in a multi lobby, we actually grew really close and became great friends. We played together for 3 months or so until he said that he’s going to take a break, he came back from the break but we kinda just stopped talking.
I first met him through chat, One day I got a chat message randomly and He said "how do you do that", and I was confused but he meant I was on a lot of top 8 leaderboards (taiko) and got it.
First IRL friend who played osu! was Septer King. He introduced me to a lot of people who also played osu! at my school. First person I had a long conversation with on osu! was KawaiiTapper. I think the conversation was about skins and Love Live. First person I considered a friend on osu! and OT was DJ Enetro. It was sheer irony that we were both Hawaiian all-mode players who used trackpad. I unfortunately haven't spoken any of them recently since I suck at interactions.
my first friend that I remember and that I still talk to today is Farfocele. He used to be active here but then got skill issued in tetris. We met because we both talked a bit on Cheri's map Shiten
