Sorry for the inconveniences here! There were some real-life obligations that made things take a small turn for the worst. But it's all out now, so let's all enjoy the latest edition of the osu!monthly. :)

Also, we have a Twitter! Check out our Twitter by clicking here or clicking on that Blue Bird button on Page 3. Follow it for some sneak peeks and other cool stuff as we get things going.

I demand the next one be finished in three weeks to make up for the time we had to suffer without a new newsletter.

Great job, except for one thing...

At the end of the article on jumps it says something incorrect regarding osu!'s mouse precision mode. You should turn off Windows' pointer precision mode, but you should have osu!'s mouse precision mode on if you have a low sensitivity in-game like 0.5x. The article explains Windows' pointer precision mode, not osu!'s. All osu!'s does is make your mouse's movements more precise, and is notable on low sensitivities. That is literally all it does, it doesn't affect acceleration or anything.

That common error corrected, good issue! And yes Doomsday, I confess to sometimes finding other people to do the Easy/Normal for me, even if the song's only 1 minute long! Though, I have been much better about that lately.

Waah. I'm so signing up for google. It finally loaded. I click a link and it opens the link on the same window. Now I'm waiting for the article to load again = =

Sorry for that inconvenience, Raging Bull. The Adobe plugin's sort of a nuisance with web browsers. We're not quite sure what to do exactly on that end, since the plugin's provided by Adobe themselves rather than us or some editable setting on a .pdf.

You can, however, download the high-res .pdf yourself so links won't occupy the same window.

As always, osu!monthly gets better each issue~ ♥

One slight thing, though. I know maybe this is a limitation that cannot be fixed even if tried, but is there any way to make the high-res PDF version of osu! monthly to have its implemented hyperlinks to open in a new tab/window rather than open on the same tab osu!monthly is loaded on? It's a bit of a nuisance having to re-load the file all over again whenever we want to go back to the article after clicking a link. It doesn't bother me that much but still it would be nice if it could be fixed :3

comic = win
the only thing i don't like about this
is that it is too long, imo

yeah we don't HAVE to read it all in one go, but with newletters and the such, that's what i prefer to do
hmm, just my personal preference, but otherwise enjoyed it.

Is it just me or is the low-res basically unreadable?

Also for some reason the hi-res version always errors everytime I view it, no matter how many times I DL it

You can instead right click the link to the PDF version and then right click, then choose "Save as" and open it in your PDF viewer of choice, ifyou are encountering problems.

Manga translations are one thing, but intentionally writing your comic to read from right to left when it's in english makes absolutely no sense.
Also, in future, I'd recommend getting someone who actually maps to write mapping tips

Otherwise a nice issue though :P

I would like to apologize for not having maps in my pending, ranking, or graveyarded sections. However, I have spent more than forty hours in the editor while making maps. I have also did a certain number of guest difficulty. Not all of them are credited to me, though.

One would be inclined to say that I shouldn't make mapping tips without having mapped, but I assure you, I have several maps.



In addition, I would like to apologize if you found the tips I wrote disappointing.

Those mapping tips are kind of a no brainer :p

But yeah. Awesome job guys. Can't wait for the next issue :)

(SK and Sinistro should rewrite the shitty storyboarding faq)
