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.
