Passion for the Game (and what kills it?)

I've noticed along my travels of the RSI path that many players that play osu! have different reasons for doing so. Some it's only for fun, some it's only to attain the highest rank possible, some have fun trying to attain the highest rank possible, and that's perfectly fine. On the other hand, I'm sure at least of us have some sort of stigma in the osu! community, or perhaps within the game itself that turns you off from playing.

For me, it's a bit of mindless fun. After playing for eons the muscle memory has made playing osu! something that can be done with little to no mental activity, allowing my mind to wander off. Kind of like showering, I heard doing menial tasks helps with epiphanies from a friend.

My biggest pet peeve in osu! is when, especially on Multiplayer, the skill of a player is criticized for no apparent reason. It's becoming less common now, but sheesh pls just have fun :o

tl;dr So perhaps I have a bit of a unique question today in asking, what brings you back to osu! time and time again?
Also, what's your biggest pet peeve in osu! :D ?

My drive to someday become among the best at something.

It's a simple game to start playing, you can stop at any time you want (unlike LoL, where the matches can go for an hour), it's fun trying to advance in the rankings, it's fun trying to outperform your friends and fellow countrymen, it's satisfying hearing the hitsound when you click a circle (seriously guys, play with hitsounds), the music is good and the community is awesome (for the most part).

I don't have any pet peeves.

It's the one thing in my life I actually have a serious passion for, and I'm capable of actually being good at. I love to just play osu until my arms hurt.

My pet peeve is I know I'm going to get RSI someday. That, and doing streams. What 18k rank player can't stream 170? :/

Something that really bothers or annoys you.

First it was being better than my irl friendgroup, and then they all quit. Then it was trying to play on the owc. Now I don't even know why I'm still here.

Playing more and getting better. Finding fun maps that I've never played before.

The adrenaline when FCing hard songs.

Pet peeve is that I can't FC songs.

I remember starting like this too since they were all switching between playing games last summer and I joined them for Osu. None of them played after September.

5 bucks says his pet peeve is his mastery of the English language

Biggest pet peeve huh?
I guess it would be that I have the ability to FC the song but can't for some goddamn reason.

Well, my friends don't really use the phrase pet peeve...

I like playing osu, because I like gaining ranks. I like having power over others ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

And my biggest pet peeve is getting 100s on notes that I CLEARLY HIT AT THE EXACT MOMENT PEPPY
