How does bonus pp for duration work? Is it done based off the whole song, or just addition length past a certain amount, i.e 4minutes + bonus pp for every, say 30s or 1minute on top of that length.

November 15, 2015

Firstly it's based on the amount of hitobjects and not the actual time which passes. Secondly it's roughly 1 + m * amountHitObjects up to some threshold. At that threshold it stops being a linear function and continues as a logarithmic function so that excessively long maps don't get a ridiculously high bonus. The whole thing is C1, meaning its slope doesn't suddenly change when transitioning from linear to logarithmic.

http://ask.fm/Tom94/answer/134007139278 What kinds of things are included in the .1%?

November 13, 2015

The only thing I ever used of these .1% is the profiler. It's pretty damn good and afaik is not included in the community version. If you just start with programming you couldn't care less about a profiler, though.

Hey Tom is Visual Studio Community good for starting C++ programers ? I don't have much money so I can't afford the professional version which costs around 500$

November 13, 2015

Yes, it is. You really don't need the professional version for 99.9% of the time.

Does osu! have a problem with Nvidia on laptops? My laptop that I got for free from university (that uses an I5 processor with integrated graphics) runs osu! better than my $2000 laptop (I7 with Nvidia) I bought later. Also many other people have problems and have Nvidia on the forums...

November 11, 2015

Laptops with Nvidia Optimus, yes. Just go into the Nvidia control panel and make your laptop use integrated graphics for osu!.

There are actually laptops with Nvidia cards which don't have Optimus (most notably laptops with G-sync support). These don't have any issues.

Why didn't you play OWC?

November 09, 2015

Don't have time to practice the maps properly. Also I've been playing with mouse for the past months. That's way too prone to random misses for OWC whereas switching back to tablet would take time. Lastly I'm not even home during the first half of December (visiting Milkshake).

do you think it'd be possible to implement a system that rewards some kind of consistency bonus pool to those that can churn out high value performances without using many playcounts inbetween? do you think it'd be a good idea if so?

November 09, 2015

Possible, yes. Feasible, no. People would start going offline inbetween plays and we can't just disallow that. Also whenever the pp algorithm changes everything needs to be re-calculated, so the entire play history would need to be stored so that it is reproducable in the future. Lastly, I don't think it's a good idea in the first place. In the end your achievements matter, not how you got there. Implementing the proposed idea (assuming it could be enforced) would mean disregarding practice and only considering talent (or other advantages from e.g. a history of musical education).

Do you think this map will become a problem: https://osu.ppy.sh/b/736215 (Panda Eyes & Teminite - Highscore)? 3 of the top 4 scores are touch screen and worth a ton of pp (393).

November 09, 2015

No problem, unlike the abusable tag4 map which had completely and utterly unrankable patterns Highscore is actually a fine map. If touch ends up being good on it, then that's okay.

why is the .exe on high priority? on some systems it conflicts with stuff like logitech gaming software or razer's drivers (though on older builds it used to function transparently/no hiccups)

Shouldn't Hvick's play on Miraizu be 666pp since it is 665.5pp or does it not round up from 5?

November 07, 2015

It's probably 665.4XXX where XXX makes it round up to 665.5 when displaying with just 1 decimal behind the dot. So no, it shouldn't get rounded to 666 by itself.

Would it ever be possible to allow for up to four different keys for clicking instead of just two? I'm not sure if this is a really stupid question, or if you just aren't the right person to ask this to but one way this would be benefitial is some people like to use different keys for different mods

November 06, 2015

Most likely not. This would mean a crazy advantage speed-wise. Suddenly deathstreaming 270 BPM would be relatively easy.

Hey, could you please elaborate on why WWW's Pluto score is so underweighted? Not trying to h8 on pp, I just kinda wondered why that happened. Is it because of the lenght of the map?

November 06, 2015

- The spacing only really gets high at a single point of the map. Much of the difficulty to aim it comes from the actual shape of the patterns.
- The map is not that long.

November 05, 2015

It would work. And there is no objective issue with it either. It's purely a design choice how to visualize accuracy. Heck, when osu! is open source and someone bothers implementing this type of display it might even become a option or something.

Which? You mean like "map XXX is underrated *insert sarcastic comment here*"? I think everyone knows the system has its flaws and that I am not going to be able to fix it in the near future. I'm avoiding to spam my followers' pages with "yes, I agree map XXX is underrated" messages.

But you always play HD so that is basically nomod for you. Since LeaF I is so fast with many complex patterns and triples, adding HR means you need insane aim and speed. Maybe it's slightly less hard than Pluto HR, but they're still comparable scores.

November 04, 2015

I also played a ton of HR. Do you really think I don't know what's hard for me and what isn't? Leaf doesn't have high spacing. It's really not that challenging to aim once you got the speed down, even with HR. Also, even speedwise, there's just a bunch of singles and triples. No longer stuff at all.

If rrtyui had an accuracy of 99.5% or higher, then I'd admit the two scores aren't thaat far off, but 97.7%? There are a bunch of other people who could do that, too. At the same time, getting an SS with OD10 in itself is a crazy feat. Doing that in addition to crazy jumps like WWW did where you usually trade off some accuracy for making your aim more secure is way more amazing than a pure speed score with meh accuracy.

I almost FC'd it with HD on a random day without being warmed up or having played much during that period. I might not be a horrible player, but I wouldn't rate something I can come close to doing with a little effort as a 500pp play.

Since you once said that you found WWW's Pluto HR SS to be one of the most underweighted scores, what do you think about rrtyui's HR score on https://osu.ppy.sh/s/99244 ?

November 02, 2015

That particular score really doesn't touch Pluto HR SS imho. There are a bunch of people capable of playing "I" speed and aim wise and the spacing isn't very large.

Thoughts on this even though you probably took your time already with this kind of stuff, but I am interested in your opinion here if the time is given :). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFzDaBzBlL0 While we're at it, how do you define intelligence for yourself?

October 31, 2015

I know the video already. It translates well to many other things such as osu!. I feel like something similar happened to me when I originally switched from mouse to tablet. I just couldn't play mouse anymore. Of course by constantly switching back and forth I could learn to do both, but it took some effort.

I don't have a good definition of intelligence. When thinking about whether someone is intelligent or not I usually just follow my intuition based on some loose things like how well thought out things they say are.

o_o. In the end if you are unhappy with yourself, then other people won't be able to help you directly. All they can do is support you, but that requires you to do stuff on your own initiative. Other than that, if you truly feel like utter shit go to a psychologist. They'll most likely give you better advice than some dude on ask.fm.

No way around it. The OS tablet PC support option enabled Microsoft Ink which internally translates all tablet (touch and pen) input to simple mouse input before it reaches osu!.

What is your IQ?

According to a test I took a couple years ago (a proper one, not some online thing) 138. Got outclassed by my dad, though, who scored "145 plus" which is basically the highest their scale allows.

Anyway, these tests just check some memory, logic and language skills and thus aren't a good general indicator of intelligence, in my opinion.
