Well I hope you ever find something that you like/love that much that you can focus on it over 10 seconds.Transformau5 wrote:

Well, current time does not equal the actual playtime, and it's easy to lose track of time when being focused etc.Pawsu wrote:
You can also see the time when in the chat.
although this is extremely exaggerated(hopefully), if someone is so hooked into the game they can't take 5 seconds to check the main menu, they need a break. i'm not going to lie. while this might be a nice extra touch, i just don't find this requested all that neededPraw wrote:

Guess what
It's also in the main menu
I'll try for the last time, I'll segment it for you.
What's the use of the main menu clock...
for someone who can obsessively...
play for several hours...
without losing focus,
without going to the main menu...
without alt-tabbing...
without needing a toilet break...
without needing rest...
without needing to check their phone...
until their hands hurt...
or they are dehydrated...
or their eyes are hurting...
or any other reason.
I'll explain to you as well then. It's not about not being able to take 5 seconds, it's about not even noticing that you could take 5 seconds to check the main menu. Hours go by or your hands get tired etc etc and then you notice. When it's late and when it doesn't matter any more.deadbeat wrote:

We all know that and it is irrelevant. It's like having a clock on your back instead of on your hand, so that when you want to know the time you have to find a mirror, instead of slightly directing your eyes towards your hand.Transformau5 wrote:
I think that most people still can't get this into their skulls that the session's length is also featured in the main menu timer, so I'll just point it out here
Telling someone they're wrong doesn't mean I'm right, but I guess you need a few more years to develop past the "right&wrong, black&white" phase, which is common for kids.Transformau5 wrote:

I do not know if I'm right or wrong objetively, what I do know is that my feature request is misunderstood completely by people and ridiculed by the same people. Therefore I try to fix it by explaining what my feature request is about in more detail.Transformau5 wrote:
You wouldn't insist on others being wrong if you weren't right, would you?
Well I'm just defending my request, I'd have stopped a long time ago, but I don't want the last reply to be some totally misunderstood post about the situation, making it look like I have abandoned the thread or that the misunderstood post is "right" even though it's not right in this thread's context. I'll keep replying as long as there's some misunderstanding.Transformau5 wrote:
Right, now start bitching about my age and made-up characte traits, it will surely help your request.
My point is that if someone is so obsessed about the game that they can't alt+tab or go to the main menu to check the time (which take only a few seconds), what's the point of adding another clock? These people wouldn't even bother using it, following your logic. Besides, the game already has various methods to check time, as shown in other posts in this thread. Why do you think there's any need for another one?
I didn't ask him to hold my hand, this is a feature request, not a demand.Transformau5 wrote:
In my opinion, it's the player who's responsible of how they spend time. If you're conscious enough to be aware of yourself spending too much time on a game, then you should put that awareness to good use and check the time whenever you're unsure whether you should finish your circle clicking/drum beating/fruit catching/key mashing session. If not, then you could have entire walls covered in clocks and you'd still spend lots of time playing; it's either that or the "take a break" pop-up you've mentioned, but also, denied, so I won't refer to it in any future posts to come. Hey, peppy isn't gonna hold your hand all the time, right?

I look at the maps star ratings all the time, even though I do not consciously want to know them. I also look at what mods I have active (transparent grey text in the bottom-left), even though I do not consciously want to know them. I look at the mapper's name, even though I don't consciously want to know it. I look at my frame time, even though I don't consciously want to know it.Cawub wrote:
Also by the sounds of what you are saying the user who has these extreme play times with no rest won't even look at the clock unless they consciously want to know the time. And if you think that then it takes absolutely no effort to go to the main menu. The fact is if ever implemented the clock isnt going to be massive you arent going to see it the whole time in song select.

Asking for a feature that only a few will use won't be noticed as one that everyone has been wanting since 2009.
Having an extra option(freedom) is a benefit to all players. Just like having an option to play windowed mode, or an option to change cursor size.Nathaneal wrote:

Focus, fun, anything. The same thing that prevents you from actively feeling your toes when you're playing osu!. This request is not about making it easier to check the time, it is about having a way to stay aware of time.Arnold0 wrote:
Didn't read anything else than last page but anyways, what is preventing you to press F8 and look at the time the last message in #osu! was sent ? There is so many people there that there is always at least 1 message every minute.
1 click = infinitely more effort than 0 clicks, even though as I said, this request is not about the effort. It also could have a timer function for extra value.Cawub wrote:
Well the point I have is if you are so focused to not even click to look at the time or turn on a message ticker than you are going to be to focused to even care about the time even if you see it, I just don't see why they would add something that already takes no effort to use.
