Mapsets that contain issues have their Qualified status revoked through disqualification where necessary.

jokes on you its not the QAT anymore its the NAT, so you played yourself

Damn.

Well time to remap not only my normal difficulty, but my copypasta.

My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because your post gave me cancer anyway.

sad post

Love is dead and never existed. All you did was betray me as I lay sick and festering. You are the definition of dread.

Infinite poop. You sit on the toilet to poop, but the poop never stops coming out of your butt. You have to start flushing the toilet every two minutes to keep up. You try to pinch your butt closed but that makes your insides hurt. The poop accelerates. You call 911. The paramedics call for doctors. The doctors call for specialists. The story trends on Twitter. You turn down talk show appearances. Your septic tank fails. People form a cult. Your toilet is finished. Volunteers arrive with buckets and shovels. You are completely used to the smell. The poop accelerates. You are moved to a stepladder with a hole in the top step. The poop accelerates. The shovelers abandon the buckets and shovel directly out the window. The poop accelerates. A candlelight vigil forms around your house. One of the workers falls over and can't free himself. The poop accelerates. A priest knocks over the stepladder and tackles you out the window. You land in the pile. The poop accelerates. The force now propels you forward and upward. Vigil goers grab at your legs. The poop ignites from their candles. The Facebook live event hits 1 million viewers. The poop accelerates. You are 30 feet in the air. The fire engulfs the vigil and your house. 60 feet. The poop accelerates. The torrent underneath you is deafening. 5 million Facebook live viewers. You try to close up shop but your butthole disintegrated long ago. 120 feet up. Your house explodes. The poop accelerates. 1000 feet. You are now tracked on radar. You try to change your angle of ascent but you should have thought of that way earlier. The poop accelerates. 4,000 feet. NORAD upgrades to DEFCON 3. Concentric circles of fire engulf your city. The poop accelerates. You have broken the sound barrier. 30,000 feet. You no longer take in enough oxygen to sustain consciousness. 60,000 feet. CNN is reporting on all the world records you've broken. 200,000 feet. You are no longer alive. The poop accelerates. Your body disintegrates but your poop contrail remains. NASA can no longer track you. You break the light-speed barrier and we can no longer bear witness. The poop accelerates. Forever.

Wow cool post, thanks for sharing

John, accept it. It's a fact. K-Pop isn't a music genre. It's a cultural sinkhole. You're actively worsening society as a whole with your degeneracy. Idolizing and worshiping generic, autotuned artists based on their identity instead of their musical talent harms the global music industry. Ever heard of an ugly Korean singer? I didn't think so, John. Your support of this industry propagates harmful beauty standards across impressionable youth worldwide which leads to poor mental health and eating disorders. Do you want that, John? Didn't think so, asshole.

Accept it. It's a fact. Beatmap nomination isn't a volunteer job. It's slave work. You're actively worsening the community as a whole with your degeneracy. Choosing and nominating generic pp mappers based on their identity instead of their actually mapping passion harms the ranked category. Ever heard of a reading meta? I didn't think so. Your support of this such mappers propagates harmful mapping standards across impressionable players osu! wide which leads to poor play styles and farming. Do you want that? Didn't think so, asshole.

i actually fucking love you lmfao, so damn good.

edit: well at least with mania we try to uphold some form of standards ._.
(cant speak for the other modes tho lol)

Yes,the map is boring as your ability.

How is the song and then how the map it is.

When you can't play it,shut up,and train more,not just bullshit how map it is.

Or SV is blablablabla.

Give me more creative complaint reasons.

Your reasons are already exhausted ?

You're just a player,how can you understand how tired mapper it is ?

http://i.imgur.com/oq1wj9y.jpg

I'm mean you.

Go to map better one,or just shut up,understand ?

Or are you good at mapping with your mouth ?

I really love my rank. Like, a lot. Like, a whole lot. You have no idea. I love it so much that it is inexplicable, and I'm ninety-nine percent sure that I have an unhealthy obsession. I will never get tired of earning that sweet pp. It is my life goal to meet up with myself in real life and just say hello to me.

I fall asleep at night dreaming of my rank. If I could just hold myself for a brief moment, I could die happy. If given the opportunity, I would only play HR just to see what kind of sweet pp i would get out. Then, I would hug a screenshot of my rank while i cling to my body hoping that I would stop, but I only continue as i gain more and more pp.

I would give up almost anything just for my rank to be a single digit. No matter what I do, I am constantly thinking of my rank. When I wake up, its the first thing on my mind. When I go to school, I can only focus on my rank. When I go come home, I go on the computer so that I can see that beautiful number. When I go to sleep, I dream of my rank. It is my pride, passion, and joy. If it were to be the number "#1," I would probably get diabetes from its sweetness and die.

I wish for nothing but my happiness. If it were for myself, I would give my life without any second thoughts. Without my rank, my life would serve no purpose. I really love my rank.

the fact that you're just looking really fucking sad and lacking in self confidence with the constant online validation seeking to the point where you feel the need to cross post whenever your (honestly really shitty) karma score rises by another 3 points on reddit you've been going on across several chats about your 'strategy' on gaining karma and how you just want to be contrarian to try to get attention

Right before the countdown to the song begins, you'll be asked, "Are You Ready?" The answer is "no."

This is hardcore stuff here, pal. You're not cheering on a student trying to study for his exam, or a doctor trying to fix a microwave. You're cheering on warriors of metal, fighting hard, fighting on for the steel, through the wastelands evermore. Do you really have what it takes? I don't think so.

I've even set all the sliders to the default Normal settings, and this level still gets 5 stars. Why? Because it's just that bloody hardcore, mate. This is the very definition of hot-blooded rhythm soul. This is Osu Hero 3: Legends of Ouendan.

So go sit in a corner and wait until I release Normal mode. Or, if you do decide to try this out, don't say I didn't warn you

I really love Nanahira. Like, a lot. Like, a whole lot. You have no idea. I love her so much that it is inexplicable, and I'm ninety-nine percent sure that I have an unhealthy obsession. I will never get tired of listening that sweet, angelic voice of hers. It is my life goal to meet up her with her in real life and just say hello to her. I fall asleep at night dreaming of her holding a personal concert for me, and then she would be sorry tired that she comes and cuddles up to me while we sleep together. If I could just hold her hand for a brief moment, I could die happy. If given the opportunity, I would lightly nibble on her ear just to hear what kind of sweet moans she would let out. Then, I would hug her while she clings to my body hoping that I would stop, but I only continue as she moans louder and louder. I would give up almost anything just for her to look in my general direction. No matter what I do, I am constantly thinking of her. When I wake up, she is the first thing on my mind. When I go to school, I can only focus on her. When I go come home, I go on the computer so that I can listen to her beautiful voice. When I go to sleep, I dream of her and I living a happy life together. She is my pride, passion, and joy. If she were to call me "Onii-chan," I would probably get diabetes from her sweetness and die. I wish for nothing but her happiness. If it were for her, I would give my life without any second thoughts. Without her, my life would serve no purpose. I really love Nanahira.

As you could notice, this map is not really player friendly, rather than making stuff playable, I focused on making stuff consistent and pretty mapping-wise. My main goal is to inspire new mappers to get rid from generic boring meta because the highest destination point of mapping is to make the map visualize the music behind it to get that feeling of synesthesia, as you could notice such intentions in this map

Just looking at this I immediately knew it was hi-mei.... at least I’m pretty sure it is. His pretentious attitude makes me cringe sometimes.

it was Pls enjoy RSI on that rubik's cube map that caused a lot of drama

copypasta:

ahaha imagine ranking an unplayable map. How come the BNs that Nom'd this haven't been kicked already lmfao. It's pretty obvious that this map was literally ranked because ofthe name behind it, not map quality. If any other mapper tried to rank this un-SSable map it would probably be deleted by a moderator for being a sinner and breaking the game. You're telling me auto can ss CENTIPEDE but there's a ranked map that can't be SS'd. What a joke.

K-pop fans are passionate about their group/artist. You would have to be uneducated to say that almost every K-pop fan is ‘so annoying’ because it not true. There are hidden fans, fans that don't tell anyone because they are afraid to be called ‘annoying’ or looked down upon. There are fans that don’t care all that much about competition, streaming, or fan cafes. There are fans that meet your standard of non-annoying.

But, it depends on how xenophobic you are towards K-pop. You clearly do not understand the struggle of being a K-pop fan, and the amount of criticism all of us get for being one. K-pop is a competitive category, especially against other K-pop groups. If you’re comparing it to something like fans of Justin Bieber, it’s not alike at all. If you mean annoying because fans like to praise and following on their artists a bit more than fans of non-K-pop related artists, then you would be wrong about the word annoying.

K-pop is designed in a such a way that fans have to give their artist recognition to the point where if they don’t, their artist will mostly likely be kicked out of the company or their group will disband due to no popularity. The industry is built on popularity and music video streaming. That is what the primary motivation is. Money.

Fans want to keep their artists in town, and they give them the recognition that they believe they deserve. You could call this ‘annoying’ if you wish, but that is the way the industry is.

Artists resign because of accusations, artists are kicked out of their agencies for dating, and they are punished by their company for anything that impairs their possibility of popularity. In hopes that it doesn’t happen, fans try to show as much support as they can, regardless if they date or get caught in a stupid dating scandal. We are not ‘annoying’ because we want to be, it’s because without it, there would be no K-pop.

This is not like American pop music, no one gives two damns about dating or even drug scandals these days. Don’t compare fans of K-pop to any other fan of any other type of music, you will never get an accurate result. Being xenophobic towards them and fans is way too 2017, don’t be afraid that K-pop fans are different from your favourite pop fans. Frankly, K-pop fans that are smart enough know what the hell they're doing, and they’ve stopped caring about what people like you have to say about fans.

We might be annoying in your world, but that’s not how it works. Sorry to burst your bubble.

surprised john hasnt infected this thread with my copypasta yet

I need to get this off my chest

This is a story of what I went through a couple years ago. I didn't feel like sharing until now since it haunted me for some time. I just want to get
this off my chest, and leave it behind.

It was just another weekend of me wasting my life away, playing osu!. I finished catching up to the newly ranked maps and felt like exploring the
pending section. I was searching for a map that would blow my mind away, just like the first time I saw Knife Party - Centipede. Most maps with
extreme difficulty were crap, either troll maps or some other fucked up abomination. A good amount of time passed since I started browsing, and I
started to get bored.

I had thought on clicking that “x” on the tab, but noticed a map with a strange name. Its title looked screwed up as if the romanization did not
work properly. It had one difficulty and was less than a minute long. I don't remember the mapper but I think he was Australian, but looking back, it
wouldn’t be surprising if he used a VPN. What I do remember is that the map’s description was as follows,
"01110011011011110111001001110010011110010111000001101111011011110111001001110011011011110111010101101100011100000110
11000110000101111001011011010110000101110000"

Since I had nothing better to do, bored me decided to break the code. I remember trying every hash decrypter online just to find out that it was
just ASCII in binary. I was ready to throw out my laptop out the window, but took a breather instead. I came back and took a look at what it said.
It translates to something I still can’t forget, "sorrypoorsoulplaymap". Judging by the crazy high BPM, I was expecting it to be one of those maps
that even auto would have trouble on. I decided it would be my last map for the day and play it for funsies. I proceeded to download the map and
import it into osu!, but I heard nothing after the import… It was total silence. Yes, I did check my volume settings and it was a blank track.

Most maps with blanked out tracks have hitsounds, so I unticked "ignore beatmap hitsounds" just in case. I was tired after that grueling code
cracking, but didn’t skip the intro since it was quite short. While looking at the skip button, I realized the texture was a bit glitched. I believe osu!
didn’t have the memory leaks or texture corruption bugs back then, so I still don’t know how that was possible.

As I sat through the song, I noticed the progress display showing that the beatmap was halfway done. There was not a single note played so far,
which puzzled me. It was around the last 2 seconds where all of the sudden something on screen flashed just scrolled through and the results
screen appeared. Zero 300's, zero 200's, zero 100's... and there was a negative number for the miss count. I am unsure how at least the million
notes didn’t manage to lag shit on my piece of toaster trash, but needless to say, it was a troll map.

The following day I went on osu! to grind some pp. I didn't feel like playing the standard mode, so I switched to mania. I was a 100k scrub at that
time, barely making it to 3 stars. I remember trying to pass Monster (DotEXE Remix) for hours on end. I decided to play it, expecting to miss
randomly as always due to those freakn’ SV’s. I skipped the intro and was presented with a black screen. There were no notes.. This was a clear
indicator the game was fucking up. I was thinking to alt-tab out for some time, but it seems I waited long enough for the map to reach the end.
However, something weird happened. I once again saw a flash on the screen, something scrolling past, and the results screen popped up. Misses:
zero, 50's: zero, 100's: zero, 200's: zero, 300's: zero, Perfects... 583. It was a full 1,000,000 score, getting myself #1 in the global ranks.

At this point my mind was blank. I didn't hit a single note, but I got full perfect! It was absurd. I clicked on another song I had struggled with at the
time called Mermaid Girl. Again, there was a black background, no notes. 927 perfect's, full 1,000,000 score! Now, what would a typical noob do
given this godly power? You guessed it, play the hardest map. So I scrolled to AiAe and clicked it. Seeing me #1 on the map’s leaderboard was
weird. I did nothing, yet I beat everyone. AND HOLY SHIT, That 780 pp!

Looking back, bancho was REALLY slacking if it couldn’t tell something’s up. The osu! community, however, caught on quickly (now I know it was
osugame). It didn't take long for me to start getting PM’s from players accusing me of hacking. My response: "I am not a hacker. I am just playing
the maps". I didn’t know any better at the time. It was a couple months since I first started playing osu! I didn't know how everything worked. Get banned? Nope, didn't even cross my mind! I went on to become the #1 in the world, surpassing Ideu- in mania at the time. And then I thought,
why not dominate other gamemodes too?

I lasted maybe a day until the inevitable happened. There was not much else to do other than tell about this supposed magical map that used some
glitch in osu! to allow me to perfect every map. I spent at least an hour painstakingly scrolling through the thousands of maps I had, trying to find
that glitched map until I remembered that I can sort by date added. It should have been near the bottom of the list, but it wasn't. It wasn't even
in the songs folder. Spending hours trying to find this cursed map on the beatmap listing was also resulted in a fail. Maybe bloodcat had it, but how
the fuck do you write that jumbled mess of a title?

I had nothing else to do but hope the osu! staff believed me. I submitted an appeal request saying that I just played maps, something flashed, and
I got a full perfect. The osu! staff did not disappoint me! I got an email back saying, "You are not telling the truth. Tell the truth or Fuck Off!". How
was I supposed to explain this anomaly? I sent them a reply explaining that I was telling the truth. I explained how the map is not there anymore, gave the mapper's name and everything. Unfortunately, there was no proof. Neither the mapper nor the beat-map existed.. And now my old
account doesn't exist. However, I did get a middle-finger meme from peppy in the email, which was rather sweet of him.

I decided not to create drama on the forums and reddit since I doubted it would get my account back. It was only a couple months when I
decided to fuck the rules and make a new account. All info about me was wiped anyway, nobody should know who I was. Then why did I decide
to tell this now? I feel like I needed get rid of a haunted part of my past. And it doesn't matter to me that my previous identity got wiped
anymore. I got over it.

If you read through this far, then thank you. I won’t be answering any questions regarding this, so the mods can just lock this. Sorry. It’s not
something I like to talk about and the fact that I mustered up the courage to even post this is enough.

wait you are not john

is there any reason for this to be fully grid snapped? like i understand the concept say if its chiptone or theres a chiptone part of the song, and other things that could be musically represented through grid snapping, but here it just feels pretty random.. like i feel like you could have done a lot more with this map without restricting yourself to symmetry and grid snapping. unless theres a specific reason you did it here that im unaware of. just my opinion tho. thx for bringing this song to osu tho, lol

read this from an osu!mania thread.

Osu!mania is honestly dead at this point. The only maps that get ranked are either easy af and if you pass them with 99%+ accuracy, you will go down ranks. The maps that are high star level are either LN trash or just SV insanity. The star rating in osu!mania is not accurate at all, and a lot of unranked/loved maps are better than the ones that actually get ranked. It is honestly so boring having to play the same beatmaps over and over again just to go up ranks. The game devs obviously don't care about any other mode other than Osu! standard and the maps that are getting ranked are just bad. Most of the time if its an LN, it doesn't even fit the song like why put a long note where there is a snare hit or a note in the song is short, but noooo rules don't apply to LN mappers, just add long notes wherever it will still get ranked anyways. High Star clean osu!mania maps should be getting the recognition they deserve. A lot of players don't like to play an all LN map or an obnoxious SV map. I miss the old maps like Blastix Riotz that had nothing annoying about them. The only thing you needed to pass those maps is skill, now LN's are just annoying and SV's can just be very obnoxious for no reason at all.

Feels like this is directed to the blue zenith map lmao

OT: What the firetruck did you just say about me, you little weeb? I’ll have you know I full combo'd top of my rank in mania, and I’ve been involved in numerous pp farming on blastix riotz, and I have over 20 300pp plays. I am trained in jack streams and I’m the top 4k player in the US. You are nothing to me but just another 4 digit. I will wipe you the firetruck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on lr2, mark my firetrucking words. You think you can get away with mapping thsoe dumpstreams to me over the konami? Think again, firetrucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of mania players across discord and your PP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the rankdown, weeb. The derank that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your rank. You are firetrucking choked, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can outplay you in over seven hundred patterns, and that’s just with my bare fingers. Not only am I extensively trained in double trilling, but I have access to the entire arsenal of mapping patterns and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable rank off the face of mania, you pp farmer. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your firetrucking comment. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will overmap fury all over you and you will derank in it. You’re firetrucking dead, kiddo.

"Guess Who Is Back" - the mapset made by Sotarks (This is his 137th ranked map) and other mappers, most notably fieryrage, is a map where you have to "guess" who is back. The map really shines with the guessing the next note (which everyone knows is going to be vertically down or up), creating very interesting and interactive gameplay that no one has seen before. You can think of "Guess Who Is Back" as a completely different game, because you're gonna be guessing if you hit the jump or not. Facts don't lie, so doesn't the performance point system. I strongly believe that this map is the best map in this game. You might ask - why? You see, "Guess Who Is Back" is known for it's outstanding mapping, completely changing how mapping is done in year 2019. Well known mappers push their limits to create the best "PP" map, and this one is clearly the best "PP" map in the beatmap section of the game osu!. What about the title? The title "Guess Who Is Back" also suggests that you might be guessing who is coming/came back. But we already know the answer. It's you coming back for the 400th time to do the "Full Combo" of the map difficulty "Fiery's Extreme". The map is also from an anime/manga called "Black Clover", a show that basically no one cares about anymore. The music is lit and has great message about coming back, as stated by the lyrics "Yo, Guess Who Is Back". Sadly, I don't speak Spanish, so I can't give an exact translation of what the singer or singers are singing about. But the phrase "Guess Who Is Back" is all you have to remember. Players have really pushed themselves far with this map to guess who's coming back. FGSky, a former osu! gamer, has Full Combo with 93.84% accuracy and the modifications Hidden (Notes disappear and their approach circle disappears), Nightcore (Same as the Double Time modification, speeds up the map by 1.5 times, but Nightcore modification increases song's pitch and adds extra beat to make the song more fire.) and Flashlight (It's like you go outside when it's dark and turn on your flashlight - restricted view.). FGSky was awarded with 888.51 Performance Points at the time this was posted. There have been more crazy gamers like FlyingTuna, who has Fully Comboed the map with 94.28% accuracy and modifications "Hidden, Double Time and Hard Rock (Hard Rock makes the map harder, by making the circles smaller, increasing approach rate, overall difficulty (spinner difficulty and accuracy) and health drain (harder to pass). His play was awarded 922.14 Performance Points at the time this was posted. Fieryrage (the mapper of Fiery's Extreme) has a Hard Rock Double Time Full Combo on this map with 97.80% accuracy, awarding 948.08 Performance Points. I think you can see how this map has impacted the osu! gamers. And it's here to stay as a relic of the 2019 osu! times. In conclusion, this map is the best map in the game and there will be a long time difference before a greater map is made. Good luck gamers.

found this in this in the comment section on a map:

Never make another beat map, for my disappointment in immeasurable and my day is ruined. If you are to make another beatmap, make one with a 4k mod at least for us simple-minded folk.

and yes im reviving this semi-dead thread, deal with it :sunglasses:

Hey you lil piss baby, you think you're so fucking cool? Huh? You think you're so fucking tough? You talk a lotta big game for someone with such a small truck. Aw, look at those arms. Your arms look so fucking cute. They look like lil cigarettes. I bet I could smoke you. I could roast you. And then you'd love it and you'd text me "I love you" and then I'd fucking ghost you.

This is starting to take the piss. Why is it that a group of mappers like to continuously map 30 low diff spreads that don't even break the 2.25 mark (H icon)? To easily boost up their amount of ranked maps so they can show off to everyone their experienced? For the sake of memes because putting effort into something that's low-key gives them kicks? What ever the reason it's sad. Objectively these maps have 0 replay value, just sad that they're a group of higher ups that still jump on this band wagon cos it's cool, funny or whatever

Overral, my life is uninteresting and shitty. I watch anime, study stuff to make it in high school, get bored during lessons, I have only few friends and I have no girlfriend. This kind of music is the thing that makes me keep on and fight in hope of a better future. I want to achieve victory in my life. I don't want to regret anything.. I want my life to be useful to society in one way or another. I hope I will success but as long as I hear this kind of motivational music I'll keep it on.

Nao-san, good on you for trying hard! I can also relate to how you feel as I am also in the same situation (sadly ;-;). Well, there are many of us weebs out there and school is pretty hard, but being afraid is not a bad thing, but fear helps motivate us to strive for what we believe in life, whether it is anime, success or anime and for all you readers going through this, the least you could have done was cheer him up xD Now I shall try my best to run from you haters with torches and waifu pillows (thumbs up y'all)

A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power. It is composed of semiconductor material usually with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit. A voltage or current applied to one pair of the transistor's terminals controls the current through another pair of terminals. Because the controlled (output) power can be higher than the controlling (input) power, a transistor can amplify a signal. Today, some transistors are packaged individually, but many more are found embedded in integrated circuits.

Austro-Hungarian physicist Julius Edgar Lilienfeld proposed the concept of a field-effect transistor in 1926, but it was not possible to actually construct a working device at that time.[1] The first working device to be built was a point-contact transistor invented in 1947 by American physicists John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley at Bell Labs. They shared the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics for their achievement.[2] The most widely used transistor is the MOSFET (metal–oxide–silicon field-effect transistor), also known as the MOS transistor, which was invented by Egyptian engineer Mohamed Atalla with Korean engineer Dawon Kahng at Bell Labs in 1959.[3][4][5] The MOSFET was the first truly compact transistor that could be miniaturised and mass-produced for a wide range of uses.[6]

Transistors revolutionized the field of electronics, and paved the way for smaller and cheaper radios, calculators, and computers, among other things.

Most transistors are made from very pure silicon, and some from germanium, but certain other semiconductor materials can also be used. A transistor may have only one kind of charge carrier, in a field-effect transistor, or may have two kinds of charge carriers in bipolar junction transistor devices. Compared with the vacuum tube, transistors are generally smaller, and require less power to operate. Certain vacuum tubes have advantages over transistors at very high operating frequencies or high operating voltages. Many types of transistors are made to standardized specifications by multiple manufacturers.

fieryrage, but now be honest have you ever mapped any map seriously? It's pretty obvious that hard songs will require effort to map them. Just the fact that after 200 remapsd I still can't make a good map don't mean that i am a bad mapper. Count of remaps doesn't mean absolutely anything since hard songs are intended to be hard. Why are you expecting from almost 100 bpm song to have over 50pp. and why the fact that contagious said it's easy to map (and ya, you admit on pm that his opinion is important) now have no meaning in your argumentationI mean if you go and map happpy song then what do you expect? It has such a big status as a turning point in the mapping meta that you can't avoid being compared. In my honest opinion there are songs that are tied to such grand maps that they should be given a status where they are not allowed to be ranked if mapped by someone else (happpy song being one of them). That being said I haven't looked at the map so I have no opinion on it, because the quality of the map is irrelevant in this matter. This is about preserving history of osu! and therefore I hope that this doesn't become a trend in the future.

A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power. It is composed of semiconductor material usually with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit. A voltage or current applied to one pair of the transistor's terminals controls the current through another pair of terminals. Because the controlled (output) power can be higher than the controlling (input) power, a transistor can amplify a signal. Today, some transistors are packaged individually, but many more are found embedded in integrated circuits.

Austro-Hungarian physicist Julius Edgar Lilienfeld proposed the concept of a field-effect transistor in 1926, but it was not possible to actually construct a working device at that time.[1] The first working device to be built was a point-contact transistor invented in 1947 by American physicists John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley at Bell Labs. They shared the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics for their achievement.[2] The most widely used transistor is the MOSFET (metal–oxide–silicon field-effect transistor), also known as the MOS transistor, which was invented by Egyptian engineer Mohamed Atalla with Korean engineer Dawon Kahng at Bell Labs in 1959.[3][4][5] The MOSFET was the first truly compact transistor that could be miniaturised and mass-produced for a wide range of uses.[6]

Transistors are confusing.

Hey you, hey you, devil's little sister
Listening to your twisted transistor
Hold it between your legs
Turn it up, turn it up
The wind is coming through
Can't get enough
A lonely life where no one understands you
But don't give up because the music do
Music do music do
Music do music do
Music do music do
Because the music do
And then it its reaching
Inside you forever preaching
Fuck you too
Your screams will whisper
Hang on you
Twisted transistor
Hey you, hey you, finally you get it
The world it can eat you if you let it
And as your tears fall on
Your dress, your dress
But when she's coming through
You're in a mess
A lonely life where no one understands you
But don't give up because the music do
Music do music do
Music do music do
Music do music do
Because the music do
And then it its reaching
Inside you forever preaching
Fuck you too
Your screams will whisper
Hang on you
Twisted transistor
Music do music do
Music do music do
Music do music do
Music do music do
Hey you, hey you, this won't hurt a bit
This won't hurt a bit, this won't hurt
Says who, says who?
Anesthetize this bitch
Anesthetize this bitch, I'm not the time
Just let me be
Between you and them things
Music do
And then it its reaching
Inside you forever preaching
Fuck you too
Your screams will whisper
Hang on you twisted transistor

It may seem a curious fact that he purports not to come into concordance with any of my views - even though there may be instances of apparent likeness, and even though chance is oft to beget similarites between even those of the most conspicuous deviation, such as between the tortoise and the hare, one slow, one quick, but all sharing four legs as God Himself saw fit to give them. However, this strange phenomenon is made clear when one realises that I, being the very definition of extremism, and badness, am not to be associated with, lest one call into question their credentials as an englightened centrist and respected member of society. Even though, when one may query, "from whence does this villainy stem", the response is not immediately forthcoming. Because it is clear, that day is to night as the most splendid noblemen is to the most wreched beggar, and contradistinction is the means by which virtue becomes apparent; and therefore, to distinguish oneself is to contrast oneself to the bad, and though iniquity may not readily make itself apparent, it is expedient to make is appear so. Thus the maligned may find himself further maligned, to better fit into the necessary antagonistic role that is engendered by the society we live in.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? Ill have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and Ive been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and Im the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. Youre fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and thats just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little clever comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldnt, you didn't, and now youre paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
