It's been one year of me playing osu std since December 2022. A lot of progress have been made and continue pushing my limit of what is possible. I started off as complete buffoon until today, setting off scores that I'm proud off for many months to come. This post is just as my reminiscence how I started of my osu std journey.
The Beginning
As a complete moron, I just play whatever music I like. My prior mania experience puts me into unique situation where I can only do alternating. I only play solo without friend, just playing whatever I like. Mostly I played 3 - 4*
Already understanding the importance of consistency, I'm set on the right path toward prioritising accuracy over combo.

beatmapsets/1930018#osu/3989560
beatmapsets/72812#osu/332751
My Config:
Full area, no filter, Huion Driver
The Adventure
Now that I able to 99% high 4*, I'm beginning to enter low to mid 5*. Still focusing on NM, This is where I hit some of the roadblocks in my progress. I started to look out for guide, playing multi for the first time and making friends.
Back then, I only limited myself toward low bpm alt. Tech isn't yet on this star range so I have big trouble playing anything over 160bpm and a trivial amount of jump. This is where I meet a certain ex-DT aim one trick, guiding me toward learning raw aim. As a result, I began farming more jumps and seeing my pp and rank skyrocketed.
My config:
Tiny area (45 x 27mm 1.778 ratio), no filter, Huion Driver/OTD
Sample:
beatmapsets/1274776#osu/3072830
beatmapsets/1282123#osu/2663017
beatmapsets/1079970#osu/3075535
beatmapsets/1904295#osu/3926416
Experimentation
Somewhere around 8 to 6 months ago, someone hit my head and I suddenly got intrested playing EZ. It was hard but I enjoy the process of playing it. At first, 75% acc is normal.
Having more raw power thanks due to jump farm, It's time to learn burst. I was enjoying multi lobby until someone picked this masterpiece. At first I was oblivious to the fact that It was tech map, due to how endurance-demanding this was. So I played and played until one fateful day I FC'ed it. It was one-in-a-million thing happened. I still cherished it to this day.
Aoung 6 months ago, I made my introduction in osu forums! Hey, being social a bit isn't too bad!
Also tweaking my laptop and other configs to have better experience playing osu. I got my head twirling around in confusion on what works and what doesn't, and which only cause issues.
I continue myself playing NM, delving deeper into finger and aim control.
The later part of this era is when I began playing DT, HD, and HR separately.

beatmapsets/1075602#osu/2250659
beatmapsets/363882#osu/804872
My config:
Small area (55 x 30mm, 1.778 ratio), Kuube's chatter extermination filter, OTD
Today
I still pushing myself till this day! Now currently focusing on aim control and HR, I wished to breakthrough 99% acc on high 4* - low 5* maps HR.
Now just recently I'm a five digit, I can finally let go the identity of being a beginner in osu, and pursue whatever specialised skillset I want.

Anything on my favourites!
My config:
Small-Medium area (65 x 36mm, 1.778 ratio), Kuube's chatter extermination filter, OTD

finger and aim control are my favorite skills to play with and i'm kinda happy that someone else also enjoys it in this forum (not a lot of people do)
