Just curious if there are some things that people didn't know about Osu until a couple months into playing.

For me mine was I didn't know that there was a thing to make the 100 hitframe smaller, I thought that was a set thing for every map.

I didn't know that the edit mode in osu allowed you to practice certain sections of songs

I still neglect to use it whenever I'm stuck on a song

I bet many don't know you can search for specific BPMs and and difficulty stats in the search using <abbreviated name><>=<value>

I didn't know you could enable the hit error meter in the options menu until 2 weeks ago. It really helped me understand if I'm going too fast/slow on streams.

I really only use it to see the rhythm of the beats if I can't get it. saving as a new difficulty for the part you're having trouble with is better

I bet many don't know that they can refresh their skins by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S.

How OD works

You need to push your limits to improve, I spent way too long S'ing hards/insanes which weren't difficult for me and it was ultimately a waste of time and I barely got better by doing it, if I had spent that time playing hard insanes or DT'ing hards I would be in a better spot now without a doubt

I didn't use a transparent skin for a long time, it helps

I heard that od influences the spinners in some way a few days ago. Also, I didn't know that you can turn off the dots/line conecting the circles in a combo and I have no idea what that "snaking slider" or whatever does.

Why would you ever want to though? Followpoints are insanely useful for any kind of jumping, and if yours are too obstructive you can just edit them.

For some they are just extra clutter on the screen. Metro doesn't play with them on and I think he even advocates to turn them off. I like them, but others have different preferences.
