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.

Back in the time when i was playing guitar hero a lot, was watching GH videos on YouTube and some recommended were about osu!. as mainly a console player, i was not interrested.

Years later, seeing a friend on discord with the status "playing osu!", had some talk about it with my friend, downloaded, tried default maps, had some fun and gave up.

Months later, that friend said on discord "hey why not making an account and play together in multi, you can download maps with songs that you like too!", i did it, and now i'm playing osu! daily.

My friend recommended osu! because GH3 lags very much on my laptop lol. I played it daily since then, even without internet.

And now I've invited 6 other friends to play with osu! me (and still counting..).

My friend played it one time and I called it a weeb game. 2 months later I downloaded it for a laugh and clearly I forgot to stop playing.

I remember scrolling through YouTube's recommendations, stumbling across a video on osu!mania (I think it was Staiain's Galaxy Collapse video). It was one of those "why not" moments, so I clicked on it, only to find myself so confused as to what was happening on the screen and how could a human being react that fast and accurately. I may have seen the game before, but this was my first exposure that I know of and remember.

Right after I watched the video, I looked up the game and downloaded it, because I was somehow so determined to get good at it. And, after a few hiccups and several attempts to play standard, to this very day, I'm still playing, and likely won't stop anytime soon.

While playing Minecraft with my friends. One of my friends was a weeb and told me that playing Osu would help me with my aim. I believed him and didn't like the weeb maps at first. I outgrew them and now I play this game every day and I have fun on it and met many cool people :)

I found a video in my youtube recommendations of someone playing osu!mania, I used to like these "mania" rhythm games back then (robeats, love live, stepmania...) so I decided to check out osu!mania. four months later I started playing osu!standard and got fond of it.

My story is I found a Miraie video in my recommended, and i enjoyed his content so i looked at other videos he uploaded and found osu, i downloaded it and gave it a go, then didn't play for 5 months

I'm sure some people would have some interesting stories on how they found out about osu, so let me know!


I found Osu from a friend called Tom. I used to play Stepmania and one day he told me Stepmania was the btec version of Osu, I felt insulted so downloaded Osu in August - here I am now

I saw a video on youtube of someone playing Endless Tewi-Ma Park and thought, "Oh that looks fun, i want to do that." I was upset at first that Osu wasn't ANYTHING like Tewi-Ma Park, but i stuck around and loved the real game better :) then i slowly got involved into taiko, and here i am now :)

Some of my friends were talking about osu! in a discord server, I asked them what it was and they said it was a game so I was intrigued by this and decided to download it, and instantly fell in love with the game playing it all the time.

Got recommended a video of someone playing osu, which was impressive and that led me to more videos on youtube until I thought to myself "that sounds fun, let me try it!"

I was trying to improve my reflexes on league of legends, so I looked up on google for a game that would increase it.

Back in the days of Skype, my friend and I were talking and they were screen sharing a game which I later found out to be called osu!. They invited me to play some multi with them and I've been playing off and on ever since.

Didn't know what to watch on twitch, so I decided to randomly watch osu for curiosity. At this time, OWC 2015 was happening and I had no idea what was going on but it was pretty interesting (never made my account back then because I was like this game is too weeb for me). Fast forward to 2017 where I watched OWC again and finally decided to give this game a try.

My laptop isn't good and I don't have any money so I looked up free games that would run on terrible computers and that's the story of how I found osu! the end.

I don't actually remember how I found osu! but I remember that I played it to get better aim in Minecraft for 3 months offline before making an account on New Year's Eve 2017. The first map I ever downloaded was this one: https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/653835

I found it in the description of a Miraie video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvmrEvwBROE

One of the first ever osu! videos I watched and the first Miraie video I watched. Got addicted to playing since the day I downloaded it and never looked back since. This game is going to be a part of me for years to come xD
