omg this killed me
#osu chat became cancer.
Lmao. I laughed so hard about all this. XD
Wow you are such an elite for being underground and all... Seriously are we a hipster community ? I understand that when something gets more popular (and don't say the word "mainstream") it can be polluted and Bancho will be overused. Of course I know. But this is great for the game popularity, it might be a chance !
Anyway thanks PewDiePie and thanks Peppy.

All with osu going "mainstream" now, I think people are just freaking out because osu's never had such jump in popularity. We're afraid that the new community's going to be infested with young, stereotypical pewdiepie fans.Vertebro wrote:

Granted, if the resulting influx is relatively civilized then I might tolerate it, but PWDP fans aren't regarded with good pedigree by a longshot generally speakingCuboidBeats wrote:

going by how lust responded to the pewdiepie sucks thread in this subforum id say osu probably did pay for him to play it
i mean i dont even personally think pewdiepie sucks, i just think his content is uninspired and rarely funny.

This is my only concern. I could care less about the new players or the server issues. I just hope the new growth doesn't bring legal attention with it.CuboidBeats wrote:

People who say he sucks are just hating on success. Will I watch him? No. His "humor" isn't for me. But whatever he's doing is clearly working seeing as how he pretty much owns YouTube at this point. He's found a formula and it sure as hell has been successful. I wouldn't change, either.

As a casual 4K Osu Mania player, the osu community itself is strong. I've been playing the game for a long time but not participating in the forums activity. I must say this is my first post and I am here to observe on what will happen to the osu community. But as far as I can see, the "kids" you're talking about may not survive since it takes skill and muscle memory to master the game.
Can anyone bother to explain why are you people blowing this out of proportion? I mean, is it really that bad? Can this single video do so much damage to the game? Yes, damage to the game not the community. My only worry is about the game itself since I only play solo and don't interact at all with the community, except for this time. *social anxiety intensifies*
Well, you ought to study people a bit more and interact with them in order to understand why they're doing what they're doing. Asking that question will give you a vague answer, but only you can understand the underlying cause of this entire mess. No one can 100% explain you why this whole shit happened, apart from a standardised answer like "they're kids jumping on a bandwagon". There is much more going on than what we see on the outer layer, and sadly, if you truly aren't good with people, you won't be able to uncover and understand it.
Everybody keeps saying the doom of osu, but I am pretty interested to see the change. Games are meant to be spread to everybody, and Pewds is giving Peppy a nice bit of spotlighting for the awesome game he created. Everybody deserves to play Osu, I know I love it!
Personally to me, osu! is something unique because it's not known by many people. Since it's popular, I lost the feel of uniqueness from osu! Why would the game be unique to me? It's because it was something I could show a friend at school, and get others interested because not many knew what it was.
Let's say for example, you have a favorite band that's not very well known, but in a few years it becomes surprisingly popular and nearly everyone you meet knows about it. To a person who's known about it before the boost of major popularity, it was something cool they could of shared around, but now that everyone knows who that band is, it feels uneasy to talk about it.
Of course, not everyone feels like that, but that's how I feel about it. I love osu! and I was introduced to it by a friend. As painful as it is to me that everyone I might talk to tomorrow will know about it before I could even explain to them about it, we'll just have hope for the best of osu! Yeah it's great that osu! will get a bigger fanbase, everything comes with the good and bad outcomes.
Again, this is my opinion, there are many other reasons why people agree or disagree with Pewdiepie's decision to play the game. Just remember, just because you played doesn't mean he can't (Just like pewd fans telling other youtubers that they can't play it
) It was very painful to watch him play, but it don't matter, we can still enjoy it whether there's pewd fans or not.
Although, DMCA copyrights... here they come......

I recommend reading up to the science of Ingroups and Outgroups, the Bandwagon effect, Social pressure and conformity, neural development in adolescenceSINHolyC wrote:

(note that the links don't lead you to the actual scientific parts, 3 go to wikipedia. But if you are interested you can start from there.)
Bonus: Snowball effect, Peer pressure
Well, that was a really deep philosophical vague answer if I ever saw one. It's not that I'm bad with people per se, it's just that I never bothered getting in touch with the osu! community because I only play the game for fun and as a way to kill time. From what I've read on this thread it seems to me people are blowing this out of proportion because they dislike / hate Pewdiepie and his fans, which to me is kinda stupid but to each its own. What I really want to know is if this could have any impact on the game itself as I don't really care about the community getting worse. I mean, a lot you guys think the community is already bad and cancerous, so there's that. So let me rephrase my question, can this influx of new players have any impact on the game itself? Like, connection issues to Bancho, big companies noticing the game because it got bigger which increases the risk of a cease and desist order, stuff like that.Aurani wrote:

@Railey2
Well, that is the answer I was looking for. Thanks.
*off-topic: This forum needs a simpler way of replying to people other than quoting them.

Just like Railey said, it's very unlikely that anything will change here considerably. You may see more kiddies running around, but it's nothing new, and Osu is already big enough for companies to notice it, so if that was a threat, it already would've happened.SINHolyC wrote:

This thread... Turned into a discussion about the difference of kids from adults.
Anywho, it was fun watching him play osu! and as others said, tutorial is still lacking to explain how the game is played, pretty sure he played it.
Wonder what will happen a few days after... *10 meeeelion users registered*. Oh well, it was a good way to give the game some popularity. Those who can't get the grip of how the game is played will surely quit right away but those who are determined will surely continue.

Drama aside, I'm a bit offended that he throws the term "anime" left and right just because it looks like anime.
1:05 -- Touhou, not anime, TOUHOU!!
2:41 -- No, piediepie, pippi is not anime (though I wish she was in one)
4:11 -- PIPPI IS NOT ANIME!!
Video description: "LET's GET ANIME WITH OSU!" -- I am banging my head on the keyboard if you can't tell
And his vid is called "ANIME AF." -- WTF... I'm done
