Hello.
You might recognize me from my last post as the "desperation attempt to improve w/ mousepad". I've gotten one, and it has helped a lot. However, shortly after, it felt like I hit yet another wall in improving. Thus, I decided to end this madness and ask you: the community, to give your opinion.
I enlist 3 possible solutions:
1. Play more, then take a short break: I read that some people turn out to improve a lot more if they rest after a long period of playing, rather than if they continued on playing. Perhaps I should actually play more then take some breaks playing the game?
2. Get a better, comfortable setup: Maybe, this is one of the biggest walls in my improvement: a bad setup. My tapping arm could get RSI at any moment, and my aiming arm doesn't even have the room to move; I resort to using my wrist/fingers as a method of aiming (which sometimes ends badly). Perhaps if I coerce my parents to buy a better setup, then I can actually improve?
3. Realize that I've hit my physical limits, and stop playing osu! for a while?: I'm not that physically fit, and I realize that many professional players/friends that pass me are either associated with sports/live a healthy life. Given that it could take some time before I can adjust to a healthier lifestyle, I may consider leaving osu! for quite some time, or even leave it as a whole and move on with life.
I'd love to hear your opinions on this. osu! has truly been a competitive yet friendly experience for me, and I don't want it to end here.
