What would be your reaction if your osu! game was deleted?

So recently, after I got out of doing my busy work, I finally had time to play some osu and relax. But when I open my desktop, the osu shortcut wasn't there. I, of course, proceeded to search in the start menu because I didn't believe it was deleted of some sort. But when I find a blank corrupt icon in the file 'osu!', I immediately went "ARTHUR'S FIST" and reinstalled the game, waiting hours of it. My load of downloaded maps were all deleted :/

If this happened to you, what would your reaction be? Has it ever happened to you?

I have a drive dedicated to osu! (My O: drive

). Currently, its' 126Gb free of 232Gb, that's about 105Gb of files, and these are small files. It would take sooo long to redownload all of these, so I would be aggerryy if they all just dissapeared :-/

i would probably reinstall it and copy paste the songs/skins folder from one of my older windows installations on the several hard drives i have lying about, i'd have lost a lot but not all of it.

reinstall it after maybe several months lamenting over that finding what beatmaps I had is going to be such a pain.

It would honestly be a bit of a blunder and an annoyance, but with the fact that their is beatmap packs (and heck, even torrents), I would be fine.

Though reprocessing them would be a pain in the ass....

I first cry inside then realize that all the maps in my osu! were from beatmap packs so I'd stop bothering to cry and get to downloading osu! again.

Not going to give up on osu! as long as my tablet keeps working.

Songs folder saved on home NAS so i could just shrug and install it again.

"Overall, I think people tend to reveal their true selves when they step into an avatar. As I said earlier, they probably feel some sense of freedom. But freedom easily gained quickly turns into a false sense of omnipotence."

Game folder or account?

If it's a game folder I'll just reinstall osu. I have a lot of unplayed beatmaps so I'll consider it as spring cleaning.

With an account though, that's a different story. I'll just sit in a fetal position somewhere and just cry myself to sleep.

Happened to me 0.5 times. All my replays and collections got reset to their state 2016 a few months ago. It was the end of the world for only like 3 hours. Anyone should be able to survive that.
