Okay so there is an osu! player that the community has been obsessing over named osu420. They started streaming on Twitch, streaming a whole 16 hours on their first stream and 100 people or so there to watch, it’s mad.
Today they became a Twitch affiliate!!! That means they are showing ads to people, people are able to subscribe to them and are making money streaming on this site. It’s incredible.
What this is about is that the entire time, you are not able to send any text chats. The chat is in emote only mode. When osu420 became affiliate, one thing you gained the ability to do is send bits. I initially sent a single bit because I thought it was funny to make one of the emotes I sent something I spent money on. Eventually during the stream, someone noticed that you could overpass emote only chat by donating a bit along with the message. People would be surprised and then use this to try to connect with them.
A Twitch chat screenshot showing a few members able to send text chats in emote-only mode by attaching at least 1 bit emote (a grey triangle).
Look at the triangles. That is people donating bits
They noticed eventually and would mitigate this by increasing the minimum bit donation to 10 bits, and then to 727 bits when people still sent text messages there.
It’s just fascinating
UPDATE 2024-06-09 10:19 PM: In today’s stream osu420 wanted to be nice and reduced the minimum bit donation to 69 bits, but someone dared and send a text message along with the bits, so they went out and increased the minimum bit donation to 3999 bits. It feels a lot like that meme about that guy in a square closed down, trying to open up, getting punched and then creating a thicker square, closing themselves off further.
I hope I did a good job cleaning out some of the depression in this page (this is for the few people who saw earlier iterations of this site)
Had a dream
I went to the shopping mall and I remember buying something but don’t remember what. Then I went out of a shop and noticed the floor was a downwards slope so I grabbed a shopping cart and hopped on it for a fun ride down from the top to the bottom until I stopped myself from hitting a wall, turned, and did it again. Then I went outside and noticed a marching band camp going on, and my old high school band director was conducting and giving directions. The shirts on the performers said something about “College prep band” or something like that. I walked past them and head to my car in the huge parking lot filled with white vans when one guy comes out of one and gets really sentimental about life, but just for like a second. Then I head into my car and start playing a Bed Wars game that lasted 57 hours, but I only experience the last few minutes where I am at a stalemate with a player at a base. I am above them on a huge pile of ladders (not Minecraft ladders but like, actual ladders) but they cannot hit me. I cannot get down however because I’m not super stable on the ladders and getting down and falling would make me vulnerable to getting hit and falling off, but I know the game has to end at some point so I make a run for it. I don’t even get to see the end of it when I am back in my car that I mentioned and a friend of that player that I played tells me what a weird time it was.
they should do a version of jeopardy where it’s “what the fuck is” and “who the fuck is” that people have to start their questions with, i think that’d be funny to me
Had a dream that I started working at Walmart. I don’t remember exactly how I got it but I remembered walking into a locker room for the employees with a solid black backpack, observing everyone else having black and blue backpacks I guess the store gave them. Walking through the room, I found the manager swimming…on the floor, submerged and all, and then noticing me, getting up, and introducing me to everything. The details afterwards become more of a blur but I remembered coming back the next day through the locker room and witnessing an argument of sorts
I came to the realization this week that I don’t even want to clear my Steam backlog, which the thought of living the rest of my life not playing the games I spent my money on initially gave me a feeling of regret, but now I must move on from the purchasing decisions I have made and accept that what’s been done is done.
I like the idea of making a Wikipedia fork that copies it 1:1 at first but then I add tons of ridiculous stuff to the articles.
Like, one article is the exact same as its counterpart but they add FUCKING before every FUCKING noun. Or like, the words are all listed in alphabetical order. Something cool like that
SimpleFlips made an osu! joke in his latest video this is incredible
If I could travel back in time and tell myself from 2021-2023 anything, it would be something important like WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU YOU STUPID FUCKING IDIOT
I desperately need to become mediocre at everything in my life
Just discovered a snack I really like. Now it’s time to make it my entire personality
You ever just learn five months into playing a game that you’ve been playing it without using your GPU
I had a dream that I was in my backyard with an online friend who told me what to do when I see a scorpion and how to avoid getting stung. He showed me a few memes, but the one I remember most was three pictures of the same backyard I was in with some spider-like creature hanging on the wall. It was all white and looked like it could be squishy. To test me on the scorpion thing as a surprise, the creature jumps out of the phone, turns into a scorpion, and starts chasing me, very willing to sting. I was going SO fast in my backyard, jumping on my roof and back down, sticking to walls and all, but the scorpion stays close to me with no signs of stopping. I remember I even swatted it in midair and it flew away and back to me like it was a boomerang. I manage to outrun it at the end though and go inside my house with the scorpion staying outside, but not after suffering a sting on the palm of my right hand
Leap Day is just uncommon enough to make me shocked that tomorrow is the 29th of February and not March
I had an encounter the other day with someone, and it made me realize: I actually suck at being weird.
Rule 5: The most important thing you can forget right now is wherever you are.
I had a dream the other day after I went to bed soon after watching a friend’s stream. He ended it the exact same way he did that night with all the details, but instead of saying “Good night everyone” he said “Good night, my little kittens.” That was the only change
This dream had much more to it but unfortunately I forgot most the smaller details
Had a dream that fieryrage (an osu! player) was going on a rant about bread sticks from various pizza places and how annoyed he was about getting recognized. He yelled about them in a way that people expected from him (“Fieryage plays Minecraft!” is a video that demonstrates it well) I remember him saying something about setting a leaderboard play on a map forcing him to have his DMs open to anyone on Discord, which is how the dream transitions into my ex, despite my blocking them, managed to find a way to talk to me after I set a #1 score on an osu! map and they just started pestering me like I imagined. Just a bit weird to me really
I have just been told by myself that sometimes talking to me is like talking to an AI and I think that is correct.
The fridge door was open for a few minutes too long and the sound that the fridge let out made my house seem haunted ooooo
Me looking through the online presence of my friends going back to many many years before I even knew them as well as on sites that they have not used in years and then being careful to never bring the things I saw up to them because I fear they’ll think I’m stalking them and I’m creepy for knowing about these things even though it’s all available for everyone to see on the web but that anxiety just makes me feel guilty enough while doing the browsing
I have just been told by myself that I sometimes ask questions to people like a news reporter who is desperate for a headline, and I think that’s correct
UPDATE 2025-10-29: THAT IS, if I actually bring myself to ask the first question which takes a lot of moving things into the right position to get there, and once I do, then the rolling starts!
One bad trait I have is assuming anyone belonging to a non-American nationality must also know every single person who belongs to that non-American nationality.
The second worst problem I have is that I can’t say what I want to say. The first worst problem I have is realizing that I probably shouldn’t say it anyway because I’m not ready for it
Just burned my hands with some coffee! #NotHavingFun
