I know, looking back at yourself and seeing how you've progressed is pretty cool. I personally just have a tab in my userpage where I record all milestones and the date it happened.Maus wrote:

Yeah, I just unlist them (or make them private for the embarrassing ones of me getting happy over passing my first insane with 75% acc or something). Then there are the ones that magically get 500 views despite being like 92% non-fc nomods of marginal difficulty that I wouldn't dare unlist because they attract viewers just based on past popularity...silmarilen wrote:

At least that's 240bpm even if it's pretty much just 120bpm spaced streams. It would still be impressive if it was single tapped (I'm assuming it probably wasn't).silmarilen wrote:

I am 21 and i never had a job, nor earned a single dime. Once you start working, you work untill you retire... Enjoy youth for what it is, you will spend a remainder (good chunk) of your life on a job/carrer latter on. If money is an issue, then it's another story...Woobowiz wrote:

In my personal opinion, I think I'm progressing way too slow, but I guess that's what happens when you have classes and a part time job.
Or you could just be smart, skip most of your lectures, take standard level classes, make it out with a super high gpa from a well-known uni, and get a high paying job all while having all the free time in the world. God knows if I took engineering math instead of pure math that's what I would be doing right now.Granger wrote:
I consider studies/school/work about as the same thing if we'reconsuming(lol that brainfart) considering the time you spend for it, the real reason why you have so little time time for fun stuffs when you work is because you also have to take care of your house and/or kids which eats up most of the little free time studies/work leave free.
Studies/school actually eat up more time than work considering the homework you almost always get.
I completely missed the word "it" and I thought the sentence meant something completely different. It's even worse that I considered gpa to mean "grandpa" at first, before realizing how completely stupid I am since the subject of school is being discussed. What is wrong with me.chainpullz wrote:

Edit: with that said I attend ~2 hours of lectures each day and the only thing eating into my time besides group work is the 20+ hours of math proofs I have assigned each week.
Schooling and having a part time job is admirable, just don't stress yourself too muchWoobowiz wrote:

i think the slow progress derives from focusing one trait only instead of multipleWoobowiz wrote:

youre putting up 2 weeks of "practice" against months and months of playing the same thing here. and my point was that if you had put in more diversity in your playing you could be a lot better by now,but I guess we've talked about this subject often enough on past pages anywaysWoobowiz wrote:

I remember when he was boasting about quitting AR8 DT once he got 4k pp. I guess blogging about your AR8 DT plays to your internet friends takes over from actually wanting to improve. Which is understandable considering the skill gap difference between a typical DT masher and someone like Cookiezi. I knew this was a ridiculous goal in the first place, and I guess the OP is realizing that as well.f i z i k wrote:

the amount people play is largely dependent on how good they are at the game. If you just get better than everyone else easily of course you're going to play a lot because you keep getting positive feedback.GoldenWolf wrote:

In particular I'd like to see you play more HR, and some HD, and some of the more difficult nomod maps.Woobowiz wrote:

There is mechanically no difference between using HD and not using HD. It only increases the reading difficulty. HD compliments DT and HR, and can only give you more pp for the same score.chainpullz wrote:
HD is heavily overrated considering you could just as easily spend the time it takes to learn the mod getting better at the game and get more pp that way.
HD+DT. HD+HR.darkmiz wrote:
don't listen to them, keep playing DT
HD won't get you to top 100 rank, only fast fingers can do that
It will increase the time it takes you to learn hard maps because you aren't just learning the fundamental to the map, you are learning a mod as well. Take that extra time and you could just as easily have spent it on an even harder map and so on. There are a lot of players like pielak and xilver that don't play HD because it's pretty pointless. It's unnecessary to be good at this game and the reward for learning it is quite marginal compared to the potential frustration when you first try to pick it up.RaneFire wrote:

The problem is the people who neglected it don't know how to go about learning it. You don't sacrifice time to learn HD on easy maps that give you nothing. You start using HD on the same maps you would normally try to play without it. This is of course assuming you can actually read the map without HD.
You very likely won't get your lovely pp doing this, but if your argument is about getting better at the game, then mechanically it is not a problem because you are still playing the same shit. Eventually HD will give you even more pp. Win/win?
Xilver plays without HD because it's what he's used to, not because it's pointless.chainpullz wrote:

You're not considering the fact that once you're accustomed to reading stacks HD makes everything cleaner to read, increasing your consistency on everything that isn't a stack. Approach circles are like training wheels.chainpullz wrote:
