its currently 12:30pm as im making this site, i just found out this existed through a youtube video called exploring the old internet. i think its awesome that people share my same feelings that simple silly websites like this are appealing and the fact that this website lets me do it for free and even gives a quick tutorial is awesome
i wont say my name bc im still not sure if i want people to know who i am (maybe some might stumble across this and tell from the way i type) but im a senior in highschool who has been playing osu for a bit over 2 and a half years. i barely started getting into touhou back in june this year out of curiosity and i got kinda hooked for a bit. ive done no continue clears of touhou 7, 8 (a & b), 9, 10, and 11 on normal mode, and almost did 12 but died to the last spell card iirc. subterranean animism definitely took me the most practice and effort, and im still pretty proud i was able to clear that game even if it was only on normal. my interest in playing the games has kinda dwindled in recent months, but i still like the franchise a lot, and hope some day i can get good enough to beat the games on lunatic.
osu is currently my main interest, i mostly play standard and mania. i tried to get into taiko but im hardstuck in muzukashii and havent put in much effort into learning all the 5 note burst patterns. im currently mid 5 digit in standard and top 2500 in mania with 4k. 7k is also a mode i really enjoy but have been really slacking and ive rusted very badly. i peaked in june 2023 where i kept choking 4th regular dan and now ive rusted to the point i cant even get 94 on it. i know a lot of people hate dans and think they are an awful way of determining skill, and i both agree and disagree. i personally really enjoy the challenge dans provide and feel like they give me something to work toward, and i believe they can give a rough indicator of skill, but obviously like most other ways of determining skill, using dans has many flaws and shouldnt be the only way you see a player's skill.
im currently beta dan and 10th underjopy ln dan in 4k, and have been mostly pushing accuracy and rice. gamma is definitely still a long ways away but im still motivated and im not really putting high expectations on myself to get to it anytime soon. ive been having a lot of fun pushing accuracy, farming ss scores and getting on leaderboards. honestly its become a bit of an issue recently that im having so much fun with the game, im kinda addicted LOL
i think ive done a pretty good job of avoiding injury but like i try to take breaks from the game where i just dont play it at all and i struggle to not play for more than like a day. like im not having any sort of arm/hand pains so i think im good? but i feel like i should take a break just to be on the safe side, so i havent been playing mania tooo much this month
ok this is a bit off topic but i just found out i can make other pages on this website (see bottom of page where i replaced a default link) i think that is quite insane and will open the door for many opportunities, such as shitposting
my humor is probably very twitter-y i use twitter a lot
i have a private account that i use to just like art and funny tweets and i retweet things i find very funny and want friends to also see
you may have noticed i have discovered something Absolutely insane
the page break
im learning by the minute bro lets goo i dont have to use paragraphs for every new line LOL
its already 1:09pm i be out here having fun n shit
imma go on another tangent
talkin bout one of my other interests, Anime
i know its crazy, osu player liking anime, unheard of
i was super into anime from like mid-ish 2020 to now, kind of? i still watch anime just not nearly as often as i did like a year ago
ive seen over 100 different anime now but in the past few months ive only watched like 2 or 3
my favorite genres are generic stuff like slice of life, romance, drama, fantasy, etc. ive never been too big on the super popular anime like naruto or demon slayer or things like that (although i have seen a bit of demon slayer just not all of it) i mostly watch obscure anime like if i see a character in a profile picture or smthn and want to know where they're from, or if i just commonly hear that the show is good, ill give it a shot
im not really good at ranking or rating shows so ill just list off some of my favorite anime in no particular order, just whatever i remember
ok im startig to get a lil bit bored i will end this first entry here
i will try to update this website as often as possible because i like just talking about random shit and just spouting whatever in long tangents
have a good day
hello 'tis a new day
yesterday when i made this site and the first post i actually hadnt slept the night before because iirc i woke up at like 5 or 6pm and i couldnt fall asleep so i just stood awake
i ended up going to sleep at around if i had to guess 4pm? and i slept a lot longer than i thought i would. today i woke up at 2am which is fine by me
waking up really early is basically like pulling an all nighter but just not feeling as tired, its pretty nice. the hours between 12am to 5am when nobody is awake and its all dark and nice and cold is really peaceful and i like it a lot. a couple weeks ago i was normally going to bed around 6pm with the intention of waking up around 2am. ive tried getting back into that cycle but i kept going to bed too late and waking up at normal or late times instead of early, and i kinda just accidentally fell into an early wake sleep cycle
bit of a shame that im gonna be waking up early at this time of the month because winter break is already gonna be ending in a few days
anyways, its 9:31am as im writing this line and im feeling pretty good. im actually really excited for today because i got a new gpu for christmas but havent yet had the opportunity to put it in my pc. i didnt have the correct power supply cables so we had to order some and theyre arriving today
ive been needing a new gpu but have been hesitant to ask for one until this year because theyre really expensive and i dont really play too many high end games. im more just upgrading so i have a new one because ive had a gtx 1050 since i think 2016? already had it for so long and it still works well but its about time i upgraded. i think ive upgraded almost every part of my pc over the years except for my gpu. i got the gtx 1080 ti because its still pretty good by todays standards and i dont need anything too fancy. it baffles me how people could spend over $1500 on something like the 4090.
not too sure what i want to do today, kinda just writing this bc im bored and im still excited about having a website to spout words onto
a couple days ago i started playing an extreme demon in geometry dash called athanatos once again, and ive made surprisingly good progress for being so rusty at the game.
i used to play gd a lot from early 2019 to mid 2021 and got pretty good before i lost interest in the game. august 2021 is when i started playing osu mania a lot more and that took all my interest. i have lots more fun with osu and dont force myself to play gd if im having more fun with another game. i still like gd but i just find osu more fun, i still play gd from time to time though whenever i feel like it.
back on topic though, i was trying to beat athanatos back in late 2020 and got to the drop from 0%, as well as drop to 100%, but never made any further progress. now that i have come back to it, ive gotten 71% twice, and 75% after only a couple hours of grinding. i really impressed myself because i feel like im so rusty at the game, but im making faster progress than i ever did back then. i honestly feel like i have a good shot at beating it, so i might play it more later today.
actually i havent even mentioned probably the biggest recent thing with gd thats had me interested in the game again, which is the release of 2.2
if you know geometry dash, you know by heart how highly anticipated 2.2 was, and in my opinion its definitely lived up to the hype. theres so much to work toward now the new achievements require such insanely high stats to compensate for how long the update took its insane. i never thought i would ever end up using all my orbs and demon keys but here i am with 0 demon keys and only ~50k orbs left
i dont even have all the demon count achivements done anymore because there are way more than i ever wouldve expected. i thought 350+ demons was a lot and im pretty sure the highest achievement for demons is 500 now which is so crazy to me
ive also been considering making a level because so many are getting rated in recent times, and with how much more simultaniously complicated, powerful, and accessible the editor has become for making full on levels, i want to get a level of my own rated
itll probably just be a regular gameplay level because thats what im most familiar with, but platformer levels also pique my interest a lot
off topic but while writing this i had the idea to put titles on these entries
i dont know where i was goin with that
idk ive found a lot of videos to watch on youtube that ive saved to watch later so ill actually prolly play some touhou
maybe i will finally clear ufo
if i do i will make a scoreposting page and put it there
i think i will end this post here
to whoever is reading this, have a good day :)
and heres another funny image
hello again
there were some issues when i was installing my new gpu because my power supply wasnt good enough and i think by using the new one it messed up my old power supply
but its ok! i got a new power supply now and am now using a gtx 1080 ti :D
woke up at 5pm yesterday from a few hour nap and didnt sleep, its 8:40am as i write this, dont really feel tired
ive noticed this site is getting a lot more views than i anticipated it would, its already gone up by like 75 since i last checked which is kinda crazy that people are actually seeing this
ill make another page for scoreposting today so that this website can actually fit the tags i gave it because right now its just some dudes random blog, i wanna talk more about touhou and osu because thats honestly what i made this site for
besides getting the new gpu, not much really happened, i mentioned in my last update i was probably gonna play touhou but i didnt really feel like it lol
i did play some athanatos though and got some good runs but no new progress from 0%
last night though i did start playing some osu mania again because i thought it was about time i set some scores again bc last time i had a real session was on the 25th i think? most notable score from the session last night was a 94.78% 20 miss run on mario paint d-hyper at 1.05x speed, i think od 8.5 or 8. im a lot closer than i thought i was to getting an s rank, gamma still seems far away but im just pushing to try and get more maps into my comfort zone
my main motivation to improve at mania (and standard too) is that i find almost every map i play very enjoyable and i see maps out of my skill range that look fun and i think "man i wanna play that some day" so i skill push
i could always just downrate the maps which i sometimes do but that doesnt feel like the true map experience if yknow what i mean
idk if i have much more to talk about, winter break is coming to an end very soon which is sad, but hopefully i can push through and work up the motivation to deal with my responsibilities and do good in this school year
im gonna add the score page and end this off with another funny image, check the home page it will probably be there
i have a friend with a website and a blog which inspired me to make my own given the opportunity, and he would normally put a funny video at the end of his posts and the videos, so im doin somethin kinda similar because its a good idea i want to use
hopefully you find these images as funny as i do
image
ok small edit i just found out how you change the colors and style of the website, im definitelly gonna do something with that but not right now i have no clue how to but that would be a cool thing to do
actually slightly bigger edit i completely forgot i actually did do something yesterday i finished an anime for the first time in a while, i watched akame ga kill
it was pretty good, i wont spoil but i really enjoyed how the stakes for the fights were always high, it kept me really invested throughout, i also liked the characters and their dynamics a lot. it was a fun watch id recommend it
also i made the score page check home, for real the end of the post, have a good day
happy new year!
wanted to make a quick post because its been a few days, theyre probably gonna slow down now that im back in school
finals week is next week because for some reason my school decided not to have it before winter break this year
over the weekend im gonna try to mess around with the design of the website bc thatll probably be fun
dont really have much to talk about, i gotta go to school in a bit aswell so ill probably just leave it here
gonna put a new scorepost from yesterday
here is a funny image, have a good day
havent updated this in a while so i thought i should do that
i did not try to mess around with the design of the website yet LOL
havent really been doing much, just getting through the last few weeks of the semester and playing osu in my free time, havent gotten any scores crazy enough to warrant posting here, maybe soon ill get a cool ss
havent played much gd either i havent made any more progress on athanatos, maybe ill play that again soon, only notable things ive done since my last update was setting some solid scores in osu standard and getting a lot of ss' in mania, surpassed 550 now
actually yesterday i improved some of my farm scores in mania, didnt get back to my peak rank because decay is crazy at high 4 digit but i gained like 50 ranks
maybe i will post some scores, im mostly proud of the things ive done in standard but i got a 95.5 on hall which is pretty solid bc that map is hard
i want to start getting into playing touhou games again but i just havent really felt like it, maybe i could just move on to ten desires and clear ufo later
thing about ten desires though is that on normal it feels a bit too easy, i feel like i could clear it on hard but that would probably take equally as long as trying to do ufo and im lazy
it would be cool to no continue clear a touhou game on hard though, unfortunately i have skill issue
one thing i have started playing again which makes me happy is osu taiko, i really want to get good at that mode and ive had a bit more motivation to start pushing again
ive been super comfortable with muzukashii for like a year now and im trying whatever i can to push to oni, right now i can a rank very low bpm stuff like 130 - 150 light onis but i just cannot read higher bpm with complicated bursts, i just gotta play more maps with bursts that require effort
some patterns still feel extremely impossible but ive broken my habit of singletapping 2 note bursts and kdk/dkd now i alt those which is good, ive learned a lot of 5 note bursts aswell as some i used to struggle with like kdddk dkkkd ddkdd kkdkk but others still fry my brain, like kddkd dkkdk, weird stuff that mess with my reading that i dont have the muscle memory down yet
hopefully i can get comfortable with complicated burst patterns soon because i feel like its just a matter of getting that down, improving reading, then pushing high bpm, and yippee you are now playing 4+ star maps
i could be wrong tho idk
ill post some scores but prolly just end this post here
goodbye have a good day
kinda forgot about this site My bad
currently 10:26pm as i write this, i am quite bored right now
not sure when my parents are going to sleep so this update wont be too long so i dont have to stop midway through then forget to update again bc that happened sometime in february
february was a rough month, i was skipping school a bit more often than i usually do because of laziness and one week was pretty bad where i missed basically the entire week so i was like "alright im gonna not miss any days next week to make up for it" then i got the worst sore throat ive ever had in my life, could not talk, it went past swallowing hurting simply just being awake hurt my throat
the sore throat lasted a few days and i was almost better by thursday the week after i was skipping (i had to be absent the week i planned to go back to school because i had an actual reason now) so after i was almost better, i still had hope and thought that maybe i could go to class on friday if it wasnt too bad, then i got sick again but it was muscle soreness and congestion rather than a sore throat so i ended up missing an entire week of school after i had already missed a big chunk the week prior
the second time i got sick honestly mightve been worse because for one night i had this annoying symptom because i try to never swallow phlegm to not make things worse, basically i think my saliva would have a bit of phlegm or it would feel like that, and whenever id try to fall asleep id wake up 10 minutes later having to spit out saliva bc i was oversalivating, and i woke up like 6 times before i finally fell asleep. the next day i felt so dead and was only awake like an hour each time i woke up, this was on saturday
two worst saturdays of my life
so i basically ended up missing like 3 weeks of school it wasnt very pleasant
now to things totally more important than school, like osu
been going kinda crazy with standard and taiko, mania has been a bit stagnant but ive made a lil progress
ive gotten way better at taiko since the last update, im now top 10k and can play most 4 - 4.8 star oni maps, still cannot read dkkdk/kddkd though not many maps actually use that pattern so i havent gotten used to it
my biggest improvement in taiko though is probably bpm because i feel like regardless of what mode star rating is gonna be a bad measurement of difficulty. i can comfortably play oni maps that are above 170 bpm but below 210, i can read consecutive bursts its quite cool but i still have a long way to go
because i kinda fucked up when learning most of the burst patterns, im so ass at high bpm. when i was using the burst pattern training maps i only learn the bursts starting with my right hand, so i dont know how to hit any bursts if i start with my left hand, this is quite a large issue as stuff like 260 bpm i can read the 1/2 snap because theyre just slow bursts, but when they use any 1/4 bursts i cannot read it for shit
not sure how i want to go about fixing this issue, maybe i could learn to full alt? idk
standard hasnt felt like ive improved much but ive been setting so many really good plays, ive gotten 7 300pp plays in the past month, 4 of them in the past week
most notable scores from this week have been an fc on the pretender (lince's decieved), hdhr fc on eden (taeyang's extra), and a hd 1 miss on seishun complex (poisonous darkness)
as of yesterday i have started a grind to fc the yuru yuri songs comp after ive gotten multiple runs below 5 miss and other runs where ive held less than 10x100 for like half the map, so far my best miss count is i think 2 nomod and 3 with hidden, if i fc with hidden that would be such a funny and somewhat cool top play, im p sure a hidden fc would also be leaderboard
mania kinda feels like i havent done shit but ive gotten a little bit better
tried to play gengaozo noize of nocent +ht, fucked up my arms because i kept playing after falling below 95% and finished the run with a mid a rank and no pauses, couldnt really play anything for a week while they recovered, sometime after i recovered i tried the map again and managed to s rank so ig i have gotten better!!! other notable scores i can think of off the top of my head was a giant improvement on reflec i got a 94% run when i hadnt even gotten a 92 prior, then a while later i got an s rank on sample gamma (exile rengoku reflec shinbatsu) where i peaked at 95.8% midway through shinbatsu, im confident i could probably clear that soon i just gotta up my stamina some more
more recent scores as in i got them yesterday are log-in 96% (the hard one but it was od8), star of andromeda 1.1x 94.7% (also od8 :sob:), yatsume ana 1.1 95.6%, and scattered faith 96.95%
gotta keep pushing chordjack bc im so ass at density
update was a bit longer than i thought itd be, i kept writing that nothings really been happening but now that i forgot to update for almost like 2 months a lot has happened
i do want to update this site more often i jsut gotta stop forgetting about it LOL
some day i will find out how to make this site look cooler it seems like it would be a fun project
im too lazy to go through the hassle of linking a funny image through the site so heres a funny tweet i just got on my timeline right now
have a good day
almost 2 months since my last update, way too long Sory
currently 1:01am, i took a nap that lasted way too long so now idrk what to do
given that its been so long since my last update, a lot has happened since then, got a new desk and chair most of all which is great, my old desk was over 10 years old and so was my chair, i dropped out of a class in school so thats a huge weight off my chest, basically just a month left of highschool left
the class i dropped out of was pre-calculus for a lot of different reasons
the last post i talked about how i got sick twice in a row and missed a ton of school, the reason that was so awful for me is that im awful at doing homework, or any sort of work at home, i just get distracted way too easily and feel lazy whenever i want to get things done, so i never do. put those two things together and we have me missing 2 weeks of homework in my most homework heavy class, and my grade dropped below 30%
it was REAL rough
now in theory i could have caught up because my teacher has a pretty lenient late work policy, but was i really going to put in the effort? i had the chance to, but if i tried to would i actually get enough or any of it done? probably not. thank god i took that class by choice because i dont need it to graduate, it was just something i chose in course selection for the knowledge as i might get into engineering in college, i think i got a good amount of knowledge out of that class even if my grades really didnt reflect it. the quater was about to end, and i was at like 25% or something, really wasnt feeling doing a shitload of work, so i decided to just drop out, and it was surprisingly easy to do, it was all done in just a day it was kinda bizzare. one of the best parts of this is that as a result i wont have an F on my transcript, itll show i dropped the class but not that i failed it which i probably wouldve. those are just all the benefits though, i just really wanted to not take that class anymore, and now im not!!!
my last post i talked a lot about osu, which i would like to give a small update on because i may like osu a little bit
taiko i honestly havent improved tooo much, ive started working my way into inner oni difficulties, and im surprised by how well i can read a lot of long bursts, as long as there arent patterns im bad at inside of the burst theyre surprisingly manageable to read, i just gotta get better. besides that ive slowed down with taiko a lot, i gotta play it more. last post i was top 10k, now im almost top 8k. pretty huge
oh yeah also big thing i got some solid runs on the 2023 ranked bad apple, which is a pretty hard inner oni but at a very manageable bpm, what made that map stand out is that theres a stream at the very end, and in one of my attempts i actually hit it without it being a mash fluke, so i read a stream for the first time ever
it may have been 130 bpm, but i read a stream!!!!
standard ive started to feel the improvement because its kind of undeniable with how much my rank has gone up. my mouse consistency has gotten quite solid, so ive been able to play lots of long maps and reap the benefits of length bonus. i now have 31 300pp plays, a bit less than half of which are 330+ and i also got a new top play on guitar to kodoku akitoshi diff +hd which i managed to fc?? besides the large amount of farming, ive been pushing high cs recently which has been really fun, especially on older maps which ive been playing a good amount of, but not enough
i think thus far my best high cs play is probably a hdhr pass i got on the top diff of the alacat set of cirno's perfect math class, it was a 95% 14 miss which wouldve been 456pp for an fc, kinda insane. i dont think i can fc it right now, but thats an option thats on the table if my consistency gets to that point anytime soon
mania i havent had any crazy improvement, just some solid scores every so often alongside my usual ss farming. im almost at 750 ss' now which is cool, but i dont know what map id like to ss for that milestone.
only good scores i can think of in terms of skill are: shinsha hgs 95.9%, beta the violation 97.7%, sample alpha die winnipeg 1.15 98.38% that one was crazy, houkago stride run where i held high 99.8 up until the really awkward "handstreams" at the end of the map, m(x7) 1.3x 95.82 probably the best score ive gotten since the last update idk how i got that play, and star of andromeda 1.1 od9 95.46% another pretty good score
my speedjack continues to improve but im still so unbelievably ass at dense chordjack so i really gotta get on that grind, gonna try to learn how to wristjack in the coming weeks
now besides osu, i actually made this website with the intention of talking about touhou, because thats a game franchise i really like, but i made this website around the time i just stopped playing the games completely, BUT i have started playing again, and i think i have gotten better
i tried a fangame called wonderful waking world, free on steam btw you should check it out if you like touhou or want to get into it, i was able to start and 1cc on normal in a bit under 2 hours, super cool game, silly dialogue, and really cool and creative boss attacks. if you couldnt tell this game had me quite impressed! and a couple weeks after beating that game, i came back to touhou ufo and started making attempts again because i got really close back in id guess october last year? i had died somewhere toward the end of stage 6 and i was like "yea i basically beat it ill move on" but deep down, i knew i did not beat it. that failed run was after a good chunk of attempts and i had started to become kind of burnt out because that was the game right after my hardest grind on subterranean animism, so i ended up not playing any of it for 6ish months. anyways back on topic, i started pouring some time into ufo again, and after dying to the final spell card 1 or 2 more times, I BEAT IT!!!!
ufo took me so long to beat and i had like 10 more hours than subterranean animism, so im not sure if normal 1cc on ufo is harder or not, ufo feels about the same difficulty as subterranean animism but it could just be bias because of how much i struggled. either way it was a hard challenge, and i did it!!!! whats so shocking to me is that it wasnt even a good attempt, i just continued because i wanted more practice on the stage 6 spell cards, but i was doing the touhou equivalent of shitmissing so much iirc throughout the entire run, getting hit on random bs where i never usually get hit, but mostly taking way too many hits on stage 6. i went into the final spellcard with TWO lives, i used bombs but like, how did i survive that, it wasnt even max bombs for 2 lives i already used all my bombs with one life so when i got hit it just gave me two, so i had 2 lives and 2 bombs
i kind of wish i cleared it on a better run because i got an insane run the day prior where i no hit the two last spellcards of stage 5, the second to last being one of the hardest in the game imo, and went into stage 6 with like 8 or 9 lives, but i still ended up failing which was so tragic, then i end up actually beating the game on some random shitass run :sob:
either way im still really happy i finally beat that game.
i played ten desires a bit during the ufo grind to take breaks but still play touhou and that game is SO much easier it was kind of crazy. getting to stage 6 took like 0 effort and i actually almost beat ten desires before ufo but stage 6 is really hard. in like 1 or 2 attempts after 1cc'ing ufo, i was able to 1cc ten desires on normal on a run where i no hit up until the stage 6 boss. that was definitely a confidence booster even if its an easier game and i did use bombs. maybe i just improved at bullet hells, but ten desires feels like the easiest game to normal 1cc by far, 90% of the difficulty is all just condensed into stage 6, so just stockpile lives
ive started double dealing character as im clearing the games in order (minus eosd Shhh) and it seems pretty doable, it has some very unique gimmicks in the last two stages which im hoping arent too much of a roadblock, theyre not super crazy but stage 5 gets really hard toward the end. imo still nowhere near the difficulty of subterranean animism or ufo, those games scarred me man
now that i think of it im really scared for after i beat double dealing character, because next up is legacy of lunatic kingdom, which i always hear is the hardest game above, or at subterranean animism difficulty. horrifying.
echoing the sentiment of my last update,
this was a lot longer than i expected, its now 1:46am damn
i think ill try to work toward updating this weekly, or at least biweekly, idk i kinda just write here whenever i feel like it, but i do want to write more often, its nice and i can type on my keyboard
im too lazy to find a funny tweet, but i hope you can find some funny media today, and i hope you have a good day whoever is reading this
thank you if you actually read this far, i dont know if anyone does read this, but its nice to think that maybe there are at least a few people who do
