I used to play Overwatch and I was watching EFFECT's (overwatch pro) twitch stream and he uses osu as a warmup and to practice his aim for overwatch and I downloaded it to improve my aim in ow and csgo, matching my sensitivity as close as possible. Recently I've kind of moved away from fps games and I've focused a little more on osu because I really enjoy playing it and getting better.

I was actually watching a Stream from some random LOL player back in 2016, so I kinda got curious. Then I tried it with 2 more friends and loved it.

I love anime and rhythm games, and as I was searching for some new ones to play, I came across osu. I searched for an Android port, found opsu, used that for a few months, then started playing it on PC

I think that i saw video about osu or someone showed me the game long time ago back in 2016. I don't really remember things like that.

In 2012, my friend told me "I found a fun game, let's play it!" then I installed and started play with some of friends.
I enjoyed a lot of times with this game, such a fantastic memories ;-;
but I quit for 2 years because of my desktop pc broken in 2016.
End of September, I finally bought new one, it's a laptop though, and I back to osu!.
I'm practicing now and I realized it's not enough spec for gaming, so I'm gonna buy a desktop pc when I got a lot of money.
Anyway I'm enjoying with this game!!

My first encounter was on yt about cookiezie god mode.
i was wondering what is this and saw this hardcore autistic clicking game, and I said to me:
Give it a try :3 and now im here <3

It might sound weird, but I first really got to hear about osu was in r/place. I saw the drama surrounding it so I checked it out. When i got my new computer on my birthday (2017), I signed up and downloaded the game.

Now i'm here, 1 year later. Still clicking circles.

I play league and I saw BoxBox playing it. I didn't think much of it then but I kept seeing that one vine with osu! in it in vine compilations and got curious. Now I'm here

Played lots of League and wanted to improve my mouse accuracy. Ended up playing osu! instead.

Oh what a coincidence. I was searching for random waifu stuff, found Miraie's videos, and kept watching them until I saw him playing osu. It looked fun, I tried, and now I'm stuck here forever :'(

Well i found it on an old video of Pewdiepie and basically wanted to play because it seemed fun but i was 9 and didn't have a pc. so about 4 years later i got a gaming computer and a little bit later i found the game called osu and remembered that it was the game from the video and started off being a no life. it's pretty neat.

i was bored during summer and i remembered that osu exist from when i heard it 3 years ago i downloaded it and played it for summer
FabioDesu
My friend told me about it.

I discovered it through a really complicated process.

Pewdiepie vid playing osu -> fast forward a year -> osu!stream -> after a few months -> osu! -> now -> full-time osu! player

I challenged a speedrunner to a game, this dude could tap keys like a insane person, I ask him how he taps so fast and he tells me he played a game called FlashFlashRevolution, I then check out FFR it looks fun, rage a lot during playing it, looked up game like FlashFlashRevolution and osu popped up, thought osu had one game mode for my first like 10 hours so never play mania, so I've been playing osu ever since

i have a friend from the philippines who was an exchange student, he have been telling me about osu and telling that this game is fun. when we got home, we tried it on his surface 4, i used touchscreen at first, he chose colorful. since saekano was my favorite anime. it remembered me of cytus, and deemo for osu mania. after his visit here, i tried playing it again and created this account.

I originally found it when I was looking up Oregon State University, but I didn't start playing it until a person in a discord server recommended I played osu!mania because at the time I was playing a ton of Robeats. I also remember seeing a person playing it in one of those group online radio stations, but I didn't know what the game was.

I remember I was 8, and I was watching YouTube. I saw a video of circle clicking randomness thinking, "wtf is going on I don't understand what's happening?!?!?!" then years later, I found another vid like it and i'm like,"OHHH SHIT IT'S THAT ONE GAME" so I installed Osu! and tried it out.

The date was 2 March 2015. The time was 2 a.m in the morning.

I was wide awake, as if the devils were forcing me to keep on browsing through the deep site of youtube. This went on for multiple hours. Then I came across one video. THAT one video. That one video changed my life for the upcoming 3 years of my life, and I could not return back when I chose to watch it.

The names Cookiezi. It was the 99.97% Freedom Dive FC. When I watched it, I was perplexed beyond belief. "Is this some form of Cookie Clicker?" My foolish 12 year old brain wondered. Then I saw the deathstreams. I was shocked. I could not process what just happened in the 5 minute video I was watching. It was flabbergasting. This continued for 5 minutes, until the player span the last spinner, and then I was left with a heart attack. I decided it was enough of the internet that day, and I went to bed.

The next day, my youtube recommendations was filled with said player's plays. It was as if youtube wanted me to play the game, so I turned myself in, and typed in the word osu and installed the game. I chose the song Flaklypa for my first song, and ever since that first song, I never turned back.

and 3 years later here I am rotting myself away typing this horrible fanfiction

I used to be a Geometry Dash player, then I saw a Cyrillic video where he plays osu!, I got curious about this circle clicker and now I'm here forever...

I first found it when I found Osu Stream on apple store and started playing it but the amount of songs is just pathetic.
Later I found out it also had a free PC version so I downloaded it and tried it out.

I discovered osu! by a friend of mine who is really into the game. He insisted I install it and so I did. At first, I didn´t played too much, mainly beacuse I had problems with my computer registering the clicks I make, but after that was solved, I started catch up to the game. Now I´m still trying to get better, always with moderation, of course.
MentorDraeniano
I remember watching a friend playing and i liked it, so i decided to play it too

I don't exactly remember what I was searching for, but I stumbled across 2 videos; I think the first was "some say he never played osu again" by BeastTrollMC, at first look I had sort of figured out the mechanics of the game like how you use the tablet to aim and keyboard to click (didn't know what any of the shit in game was though) at the time I thought the tablet was built in next to the keyboard and sold by the game (I was really wrong), I then stumbled across rrtyui's SS of big black and I was like "Hey, I might not be able to get on the top of that but I should be able to beat most people considering my aim" So I downloaded the game and to this day I haven't even passed the f***** map, holy shit younger me you were so wrong.

Found it back in 2013 from a Scarra twitch stream.

Friend told me about it, I was quite hesitant because it seemed like another boring music game with just anime girls plastered over it, but after trying it out, I got pretty addicted, and found it really isn't what I thought it was (aside from the last part lol).

Well in 2014 i was looking for a 'Guitar hero' that have anime musics, and in some randon video of youtube i see the osu!mania that looks like the think that i was looking for, so i download the game and play some maps in the very-very-easy-mode, because it was so much hard than guitar hero.

Before plays some maps in osu-mania, sometime i try to play the normal osu mode and a like a lot, and play a lot of maps, but my pc die and i could play anything more kkkkkk.

Later i won a old notebook from my parents, but the pc was so week that i can play any game with him, he could play even a video of youtube in 360p without crash.

So before suffer a little with this nootebook i found a job, and before save some money i could buy a good pc and a cool tablet too. So i download the osu and i finally could have fun playing the game again, and i play until today. END!

I love this forum so much, I'm kinda mega happy to make this my first post!

Back in 2015, a good friend of mine had been playing in another friends dorm. I didn't pick it up till last year. I've so much fun with it, and have seriously never played a game as often in my life as this. I've really only been playing a little more than year now. Should have picked it up sooner really.

Technically my first ever exposure to the game was in my highschool genetics class. I remember seeing one of Cookiezi's plays (remote control maybe?) and being like "huh that's crazy but idk what this game is". Then I found the mobile version of the game a year later and played that for a while.

Then a year after that I actually started playing the game to try and improve my mouse accuracy for League. Have played it on/off since February of this year now.
