Youtube recommandation, one year ago. I played offline and i didn't like it at first ... but now this game can have my soul xD

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 :)

I found Osu througha Dubtrack Nightcore channel a few years back ,back when Dubtrack was popular when Plug DJ closed that one time and before Discord was popular iirc, everyone kept talking about it so I decided to check it out.

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.

I was watching videos for a different rhythm game for the ps4, when I saw several marked osu! and after watching them, wanted to try it out. I downloaded the game the same day lol

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.

Watched a streamer called "Sodapoppin" react to gameplay of I and I decided to give it a download :)

Someone on discord was flexing that they could play 3* maps, it looked fun so I got it.

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

A friend of mine asked me if I wanted to play it and I thought sure why not so here I am 4 years later...

Weird ex-boyfriend (boyfriend at the time) showed it to me cause his friend was obsessed with it and got him into it. He knew I loved rhythm games. He put me on a hard beatmap right off the bat. Only every played rhythm games on ps4, mobile and arcade machines. Never touched it again until like a week or two ago. Its fun.

My friend once told me about this game, I played it for a bit then proceeded to play sparingly for about a year then a friend from discord invited me to a multi game and it'd really just gone on from there, they've stopped playing now but I'm on my to RSI baby!

I saw a gameplay video from my Ukrainian friend in April 2017, however, I registered here late because I didn't have a computer. I am enjoying this computer music game.

I discovered osu! through a friend of mine, asked him to give me his osu! files (because I had bad internet troubles for a few months, hence why I've only really been able to play online recently), been pretty addicted to it ever since!

Ever since I was a kid, I've always played and enjoyed rhythm games. And one day, youtube recommended me "and some said he never played osu again". After watching the video in awe, I decided I want to click circles for a living. But now I click arrows instead... ヽ(*・ω・)ノ

I used to play Rebeats, and, to make a map on there, you must make it on Osu and transfer it to Robeats. l decided 'so, l have this game, so why not experiment with it?'. l enjoyed so I stayed.
