I never really expected osu!monthly to go this far in terms of quality and issue count. Good job, everyone. Um, I hope this is the right place to bring it up, but I noticed a small error in the storyboard showcase article.

The Jarto series is a series of storyboards made by Jarby and Larto
The only contribution I've made to the Jarto series other than existing as a character is half of a guest difficulty for TiK ToK. Mashley did all of the art as well, so that definitely would have been worth mentioning.

:D Good job. You've managed to make it more presentable as a newsletter but keep the organizational aspects of a newspaper. I'm glad you figured out that two columns would be best for this type of project.

I'll be keeping up with you guys. :D

He did. You can see it from his videos on YouTube.

This text was a little difficult to read against the bright colors of the background on the intro page to the storyboarding by scripting article - especially while I was running and reading on my phone with the LQ version, haha.

SPOILER

Really good stuff though - things have only been getting better every time, and the team's hard work shines here. I look forward to the next issue!

But what bothers me a bit is this section about the Kirby Mix. I mean seriously, this is totally out of place there.

Hora! Don't fool with me! To be a one hander is a cool thing! Never mind if I'm trying to change to two hands! www

Well generelly about the "The osu!monthly #4", it is awesome. And the interview with Cookiezi was interesting.
Didn't saw yet everything in it, but I will read the last pages too.

Sorry for the mistake in the paper, especially something like this. We'll try our best in the future to avoid these mistakes and work harder to get this newsletter as accurate as possible.

Also, thanks to everyone for the input (both good and bad) we make sure to take a look at each and every comment and make improvements to the newsletter. In fact, without some of the comments from you guys the change in layout may not have happened!

Pheon probably uses the Authentic one-handed...still wonder how he does it; i'm still with the Beginnauthentic setting lol (ZXCV 2-handed).

By the way, really nice work with the "magazine", design & contents.

Interview with cookiezi; "I usually don’t answer back, but sometimes I answer, “Because I’m Cookiezi” just to
see how they react."

Yeah, you're able to submit answers as many times as you like, so feel free to lock in what you have so far and see if you can finish there. Better to do that than be close to the finish but never submit your answers altogether.

You can't open dem links in new tabs!! When you want to go back, you have to scroll all the way down to where you left off... >:

The low quality version doesn't have this problem but it's UNREADABLE! ;_;

If I want to do that with anything I just right click the link, copy link location, open another tab, paste, enter.

I find it annoying too actually, but Kirby will prooobably find a way to fix that :V

By the way, just a week more before the next issue is released
So be sure you have submitted your answers.

Currently there is no way for us to fix this without directly speaking to Adobe because it's a problem with the plug-in itself.

To follow up on Quara's point Kirby and I are discussing other ways to deliver content but we're still just testing out these methods to see if it's worth the switch. But if we do make any advances we'll be sure to put it on The osu!monthly #5.

I'm sexually frustrated too.

But there were events that made things a little more busy around this time. For instance, I had to go out of town.
