[@Mojobojo]

I'm glad Shiges negative attitude was pointed out. Hes an incredible osu! player but his negativity always really bothered me. Consider the attitude flipped, player idke, I will never forget this because what he said really resonated with me from a miss (I think on RoR but correct me if Im wrong). "Its okay I'm getting consistent".

[@ren6876]

it's crazy how people suddenly says he's "that one player with the dogshit mentality" just because he is crazily competitive at games he touches(your casual korean gamer), he simply knows he's better than most people on the game and he wanted to lowkey show it off without creating another happystick cry thunder drama. in the end all of his effort did came out as arrogancy to our eyes, a narrow prespective towards the game, and labeled as the player who drowned himself with negativity. but using him as an example on "negative attitude will hold you back" made me uncertain about it. he reached #1 with a wide gap and held the title as the best player for a long time by being harsh towards himself, forces himself to be the best 24/7 on solo plays/tourneys which is VERY common in competitive setting. it might not be the humblest attitude to have as a person, but that triggered his dedication towards anything he's tried. we all had the "i could've done so much better" mentality at one point, it's just that did we choose to express it with moderation or by being bold. neither are wrong or right, different people get different results and shige happened to be one of the bolder one. that's just a part of human nature. being harsh to yourself for the sake of pushing limits for you isn't entirely bad if you do it on moderation, i think this should be pointed out. because you could be the bigger fish than others, you know :)

[@FrenZ396]

I'm glad that you mentioned the moderation part. I don't believe there is anything wrong with having a competitive spirit or pushing yourself to be the best, especially in a tournament setting, but whenever I would watch Shigetora, it always felt like he was always one step past a healthy attitude and was nearing perfectionism. I included him as an example because he's one of the greatest players to ever touch the game, and most people would recognize who he was and what they could learn from him. There's a lot of positive things you can learn from Shigetora/other top players, but one of the potentially negative aspects of his playstyle is that crazy competitiveness. It has a place, but for most people, it's simply too overwhelming and can harm their mental health in the future.

[@ren6876]

very true. i agree with the perfectionism part, it's actually crazy how he could keep playing at such a high level without really showing any kinds of pressure while maintaining that attitude towards competition. most people would've thrown a middle finger to the game if they failed such a high ideal which usually leads to they become an asshole towards others, they quit, or secretly cheating their way out of frustration. anyway, this video is well made. appreciate the effort that you put in towards your work man :D

@@ren6876 You are absolutely right, I probably could have made it more clear that there is an okay amount of the "I could have done better" attitude that one can have.

Imagine having this issue, but with mapping, not performing. Just imagine being like that with mapping instead of playing the game ( that "Farm map" quote really got to me )

[@FrenZ396]

There is definitely a mapping angle to this as well. I didn't address it since my audience is primarily players, but it would make for an interesting discussion. For example, some mappers feel entitled to ranking a map and believe the process should be easier for them, others feel overconfident about their mapping skills, and a few people who are truly talented are not recognized because they rarely interact with a wide scope of mappers. Another issue is that beatmap nominators, abbreviated as BNs, nominate each other's maps (nicknamed circlejerking when done excessively), which makes the ranking process MUCH easier for them compared to a normal mapper, causing a BN's perspective to become distorted. You know, I really should create a video describing this. Thanks for the idea!

[@burnthismomentintotheretin272]

@@FrenZ396 definitely. There is also this other issue where someone wants to start creating beatmaps , they watch pishifat's video, maybe Mo's aswell, but that's all. And when they start mapping, the feedback is nowhere to be found, causing people to quit. The game already has many mappers, but because of this issue, the game is missing out on people who could have been something. Just a thought, I would like more diversity in music at this point

[@Kaofie]

For the first two years of playing osu i thought about it every moment awake basically and was intensly depressed because everyone was outpacing me in improvement and that just mattered too much to me. realized many of the things you said in this video later down the road and now i'm enjoying both life and osu so much more.

[@keetlecorn]

I agree. I have been farming trying to surpass my friends but when I do that I just become super depressed. I took the advice in this video and honestly really helped me enjoy this game for clicking circles and not pp.

[@demise.8748]

Bad days really are a crazy phenomenon. For me theres two ways how a "bad day" turns out: 1. I try to just play on my normal comfort zone without warming up, thus tilting when i can't perform. 2. How you mentioned i take a big breath, warm up properly and play lower bpm that i used to and just power through the "bad day". When im properly warmed up i often find myself to be even better than on my "good days" and even setting new top plays. So yeah people reallyyyy underestimated the power of the mindset you bring to the game.

[@moisessiqueira9541]

this! in many cases of climbing the skill barriers of games we all feel our self's a bit, joke around all stuff but mainly these days with competitive games which all want to be No.1 or "the best" quickly many think their not good since they not a high ranking player no own your current rank no matter what to in game time to keep pushing! *Even if you just installed & signed up on osu! yesterday!* passing your 1st map sets you past those who've never done that! so there's that further more *scores in osu! literally don't matter* most not in the loop won't give a shit so yea 😂 it's only relative if those your trying to flex on understand what's going on to have a grip of the skill and how actually hard what your doing is. jolene (or tokaku) did a video on this kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3rRnmqeg8Rljck to then this joke video kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4jPint7opaSatk also comes into play it's seriously about perspective and if said person your trying to flex on get's what's going on and can comprehend the things to then feel the actual skill needed but NEVER FLEX!

I found that a great way to improve confidence is to just play a map you were struggling with a while ago. A 'while' obviously depends on your current skill level and rate of improvement but, it still applies. Just try casually passing that one map you had to spend an hour on

[@cooch13band1t4]

Im over here with 3-4 months knowing I’m bad but striving to play maps that top players play

[@mckenzie9066]

Going through some kind of tournament mappool (preferably one that could be aimed at players around or slightly higher than your current skill level) as a warmup whenever you play seems to be a pretty nice way of enjoying multiple aspects of the game and improving at them over time all while warming up. I recommend people to try this if you want to become more comfortable at different mods, some people will be finding very hard maps in there every now and yeah things like that can really put you down but if you stick with it you'll slowly start learning how to deal with those hard maps. General rules I follow when doing this to enjoy it most are: 1. If you miss, keep going. 2. If you fail, move to the next map. 3. No need to hit retry to get a good score, it's just a warmup after all. Hopefully you'll start becoming more comfortable on each skill as time goes by. Doing this is allowing me to enjoy more aspects of the game than I would if I just played as I normally do, because when I do that I end up playing DT for the entire time I'm online. It's fun to learn new skills even if it's out of your comfort zone, good luck :)

[@julioromo5849]

I like the “footage not available” on leaving the computer and going outside

[@crashicle]

I used to play osu! back in 2015, but felt lackluster because my friend always ask me to play 3-5 stars map meanwhile I just started. Then after a few months, I quitted because of their pace. Over the years, I only played alone yet never felt I got better. That was until a few months ago. I made some new friends that let me play 2 stars map with me in multi (even though they can play 5-7 stars). Then, I started to enjoy and enjoy more and slowly improving, even I now enjoy playing alone.

[@JakePTX]

Hey well I’m coming back to this video after a three days and thinking about my own mental health. At the moment I’m actually using osu! as kinda of a relaxing break from apex legends. Played that game for about 4000 hours since launch and I’m not really having fun playing forced squads all day. This game with its custom aesthetics, nice and costom playlist of music and wow it’s SOLO. I’m actually having a lot of fun and enjoying myself on a game for once in a long while. Idc if anyone responds or likes just think about your time and happiness first. Rank, skins, events can always be viewed later or grinder for later. If you’re not having fun what’s the point. It is just a game. GLHF out there.

[@oldscooljoe6194]

Thank you for the video, it made me realize about things i do wich are not really healthy. Wich i didnt realize before. Mymentalhealth is very bad atm due to coronalonelyness so i found osu as a coping mechanism, a place where i can keep my mind of very important things like having no friends to talk to atm (cuz i moved recently) in retrospect i really just need to find new people not play osu for 7 hours a day. I am improving like crazy tough. But thats besides the point. I am rageing sometimes if a map doesnt go like i want to. Wich issnt good. I skip gym, and delay my schoolwork to play osu. I am obsessed with osu. And i dont know how to unobsess with osu. And this video made me realize that i have a unhealthy problem wich i need to work on. Do you know of any tips to stop obsessing so much?

[@virtuoso6593]

My situation is similar regards to wanting to play osu. What I do is stop playing, let me elaborate. I set a time at which I will start doing homework or go to the gym etc. Regardless of whether by the end of that time I'm feeling good or bad about osu, or i want to keep playing, I force myself to stop. I then star listening to my favorite music and I get to work. I know that it that it isn't a simple as just stopping, but for that reason you have to force yourself to stop. Playing music helps me get into the mood of doing other things and it could help you aswell.

[@KarsonLowe]

Envision the life you could have if you spent time investing in the development of yourself. By 2021 you could be in the best shape of your life, sleeping a quality 8 - 9 hours a night, organize your physical and mental space, read 10 books on 1 topic, start a business and increase your networth, pick up a few hobbies, etc. Does sinking thousands of hours into Osu help you achieve your best life and peak self? no. Can you still play the game and improve? of course. in fact, by improving your general health you will most likely see major improvements in your mentality towards the game and how quickly you improve. Just a word of advice man, if you are still in your youth don't squander it away in a dark room tapping circles man. You'll be missing out on a lot of other beautiful things in life man. The more you put in, the more you'll get out.

Okay hear me out here, so I don't compare myself to the players that have played more than me or even players that have played the same amout of time as me. I compare my self to my friends who have one half or one third of my play time, and I am actively trying to improve past them everyday while they play rearly if at all, and they are same as me or better in some skillets. That is what I compare myself to, i still try to be better then them but sometimes I just ask myself why because I have tryed so much more than them and they are basically better then me. Only thing I gained was consistency but in like peak skill they are better, let's say we play a 5* consistency map I'll win, if we play a 6* jump map they are probably going to win unless I get lucky. And I have been practicing streams on a lot of different maps for the past three months, and somehow my friend who has half of my playtime, who has never practiced streams, and who plays mostly almost only jumps is better than me at them. Why.

[@DjokiTheKing]

I'm just ranting at this point I'm sorry, I understand that different people have different rates of improvement it's just frustrating sometimes when u try so hard and someone just has more talent and wins.

[@DjokiTheKing]

Everything that he says about one's improvement I agree and I have no problems with that, I know my comfort zone and I know where I'll perform good. It's just that when me and my friend play something that's outside of our comfort zones he is gonna be better and I just don't get it but I'm fine now. And I'm streaming on twitch some days so if u want to watch me practice streams and cry when I can't hit spaced streams come and watch at twitch.tv/djokitheking this sounds like an ad for my twitch channel but beleve me it's just a rant and I thru that in whit it.

Mentality is the biggest factor for improvement, which is why I find osu such a unique game once you realise this. Osu is not just about clicking circles for getting better, you need a good structure for it to actually work and that takes some skill with thinking.

Man, just let go of the worries. It's nothing to stress over.

your sarcasm and satire against these "narrow perspective" players seem highly critical and belittling. you say that you aren't immune to this perspective either, but the way you portray yourself as someone who can change his perspective at will makes you come across as arrogant and superior to others. what's the point of this video? To convince others to change their perspective or to belittle those with lack of perspective? This is what I gathered from the last half of this video. Cookiezi is one of the best players of all time, but has a very bad attitude towards the game. He complains and feels annoyed when he can't match his own absurdly high expectations when 99% of the players would be lucky to even come close to his scores. Unlike Cookiezi, I am grateful for however amount of views I get, even if my non-osu related videos did not gather as much attention as my osu-related videos. I'm the embodiment of having a good perspective. to show my views this, I'll be taking on a schedule with school with a good perspective. If i had a bad perspective, I would burn out quickly. Sure, I might have some issues sometimes, but I'm quick to bounce back on my feet and get back on a good perspective.

Andy Kim why not both? lack of perspective is bad everywhere
