Im really trying hard to remember how I got to this game.. Sadly i can't. All i knew was I really got irritated in this game that I quit for months then came back cuz i saw some crazy whackamole replays, got inspired then played again.
it was actually some bloke in a chatroom that thought i would like this game. i never bothered to even search for it until some clown's osu video showed up in my youtube feed.
AirOneBlack made a post around a year ago on another forum, and I read it. I forgot about osu! for 10 months until an evening. I was bored AF and I was reading threads on that forum. Then I saw that post and searched the game on YouTube. Seeing some replays by Cookiezi I thought "this looks really easy! how does everyone struggle with it? i can definitely beat this game!". Then I downloaded the game, made an account, and actually found out the game mechanics (I really thought osu! was a "click circles as fast as you can" game, lol.).
FUN FACT: it took me 3 days to get some first symptoms of an addiction and had to reduce my time for about 2 weeks
