I can't read ANYTHING under AR10, due to lack of practice I'm guessing of nomod/lower ARs, but it's getting to the point where I'm ridiculously raging as I'm even unable to play AR8+DT, or maps like Atama no Taisou or Pluto. I've tried playing more nomod but it doesn't help. Any advice to share? ; ;

You lack reading skills. Higher AR only helps you hide the fact that you can't deal with lots of circles at the same time, or that you don't know how to distinguish patterns unless a high AR breaks it up for you.
Reading patterns in osu! becomes a lot easier if you are able to break up patterns into playable pieces, even when there's a lot of information going on at the same time. Making use of hitsounds to dictate speed will definitely be of help. Splitting up patterns into lines of 2 or 3 is also a good way to avoid making silly mistakes. Apart from that, learning how to play properly on lower approach rates is as much about practice as anything else in this game and the same line of thought applies to every AR.
You don't have to quit playing AR10 while doing this, but even when playing AR10, see if you can practice by connecting the patterns instead of reading one note at a time.

hypothetical situation: the world's destruction is inminent, you managed to find a haven that will keep you safe for the next century. Among all the people in this world, you can only choose one person to keep you company. The question is: which one would you SAVE?

The haven's size is unspecified so I define it to be earth itself. The world's destruction is also unspecified so I'll go with "the world as we know it" since apparently everyone is suddenly super safe. Only being able to be near one person at a time really sucked until I chose to save myself from this silly commitment.

Have you upgraded your Windows OS to Windows 10 already? If you didn't, why? MAC/Linux users don't need to answer

Still rocking windows 7! I avoided win8 at all costs due to windows aero being non-deactivatable and from what I can tell, win10 seems to be flying the same banner so no thanks.

What do you think about Early Access games?

Since I'm hardly ever into new games, early access isn't really something I ever partake in. By and large there is nothing wrong with early access to me but I'm aware that the general purpose of early access is sometimes misleading or misused by actual beta versions or vica versa.

you back yet?

To really re-visit osu! isn't to play the same game anymore. It has changed too much. My old favourite maps only ever lived on nostalgia. I want to be able to see the quality in beatmaps that I've been stuck disliking due to the change in meta and to find joy in trying to best myself playing new and challenging beatmaps.
I accept that I'll probably never get really good in comparison to the present player base but I no longer think that's an issue. It will never be like the old days but that's not the point anymore. I feel like I'm ready to put together goals and find new things to improve and that's the best part there is in games. Surpassing oneself through sheer will and determination.
So yeah I'm back. Semi-back. Heck I don't know, I'll probably disappear for weeks at a time like before anyway. Or not. How do I predict these things. Being back is such a fleeting status...
As back as I'm ready to commit myself to excluding all expectations of anyone else.
^ which is a hyprocrisy considering I'm posting this on my own ask.fm but oh well I had to answer this year-old question at some point.

I'm going to ask a very serious question. This could be like, the hardest question in the entire freaking world, so I understand if you don't want to answer it. But I'll really appreciate if you could. Ok enough talking, let's do it. Em, it's better if I screen it. http://i.imgur.com/CWIuyue.png

There is pretty clear evidence out there from a wide spread of sources that anime is in fact a real thing. A tradition of animated cartoons derived from the Japanese entertainment industry with close ties to the comic industry, namely manga.
Is whatever happening inside animes real? Not from an empirical point of view, no, though it can reflect upon reality to a certain degree.
Not sure how this is supposed to be a hard question :|

You get to spend a day with your waifu, a whole 24 hours where she's real, but you have to give up a limb, of your choice, afterwards. How will you spend it and what limb would it be? You can also choose to wrestle a JoJo with no downside.

Have you ever thought that thrice and quadrice should be words?

doesn't really matter as they're semantically working just fine. Wouldn't use them for academical purposes, though.
