Have you ever started up osu and just felt off? During play your just feeling like your fingers and hands aren't yours, or that those fingers and hands haven't played the game before at all? I'm having one of those days. I play daily but I sometimes feel like a new player. Should I just fuck off and play D3 until I feel normal again or what? I feel like I'm suffering an osu identity crisis and as my rank gradually drops, I feel like my skill retention does too.
Maybe I'm just so demotivated it feels that way to me? I tried https://osu.ppy.sh/s/605745 [Night Begins] today because I like Pegboard Nerds and it's a new ranked map. On my first try I ranked 1100/1200 and just thought, "wow do I really have more than 400 hours in this game and have I really been playing it for over a year?" Then I try maps where I've placed scores on 6 months ago and I can't even come close to them, so I wonder if I've gotten better at all.
I see that my play time over the last month has gone down, and maybe that's a reflection as to why I feel worse. But at the same time even with less time played the game has more than ever, made me feel like I haven't gone anywhere and don't know where I'm going to begin with.
Is this just a rut that I'm stuck in and I should press on and keep trying to get better. Or is it a sign I should quit? I don't want "You should quit if you're not having fun" responses. Those don't answer a question or give an opinion, I want to know if you've had this happen to you before. Of course I don't always have fun while playing, who enjoys every waking second of osu?
On a side note at least watching FMA: Brotherhood doesn't make me feel shitty.
Sincerely,
Meh
