Hello o/
I realize now that I probably should've started here instead of in the feature request forum >.> I was just so tied up in the mapping stuff at the top of the forum I forgot to look below for an introduction subforum .
Anyway, what goes here? (TL;DR below)
I was introduced to osu through another forum I used to frequent, but at the time I didn't enjoy it much (had a crappy mouse). Fast forward a few years and I'm playing more games on PC, notably for osu, some first person shooters. I decided my aim sucked and I wanted to improve my mouse control. When I looked at stuff like http://aim400kg.ru/en/ I was willing to try it out, but after a month or so I got really bored of the training >.>. I was training for a game, I wanted it to be fun like the game itself would be fun. So I reached back into the recesses of my memory and came out with osu. Lots of quick snap aiming and even sliders to practice keeping the mouse on target! I can play songs up to hard difficulty now (can't touch insane yet ), and I've improved my game a lot in the FPS's I play ^^.
Outside of the virtual world (wait there's an outside???) I'm a computer science major, and I think I'm a bit on the more odd-ball side of that sphere as well since I fall in love with basically anything on the computer. Most of the practical stuff I taught myself, but I also value the awesome theoretical basis I learned from my major. I don't just program though, I also work tech support doing anything from basic troubleshooting to organizing major OS deployments for companies. I advise people building computers on what they should buy through bit-tech threads and my own hardware guide that I update regularly. Although I suck at art in real life, I think I do fairly well with the stuff I make on GIMP and the little I know about inkscape. I'm also teaching myself how to use Blender to do some 3D modeling and animation .
TL;DR I'm pretty much a techie inside and out, but I still have a lot to learn before I can be considered an expert in more than a couple subjects.
Nice to meet you all, and I hope we get along! Especially you modders who I don't know yet but will get to know soon when I finish mapping the song I'm mapping >.>.
