As the title says, I finally got one of my most desired scores since I started playing osu seriously back in June of last year when I took part in last year's 6WC.

This map was the tryout's hd3 and I fell in love with both the map and song when practicing the pool. In fact, I had played this so much that I (may or may not, cough cough) have mindblocked the ominous pattern at 2:46.

So to deal with the mindblock, I just occasionally tried to fc the map every couple weeks ever since and, finally, on a random day while on vc, I managed to get the score.

The acc is a bit lackluster since at the beginning I was more focused on the conversation in vc, and at the end, after hitting the ominous pattern for the first time, I was too nervous and tense to care about it.

I am so happy with the score since I rarely have the willpower to actually grind for them, which I would like to someday find since I have a bunch of 1 miss runs waiting to be fc'd.

As always for these kinds of posts, here is my profile: https://osu.ppy.sh/users/14245495 . (Please don't get jumpscared by my pp spread, I know it's bad and that I need to skillpush more).

Finally, can I get some advice on how to skillpush without getting frustrated?

Usually my sessions go like: open osu! -> spam f2 and play until I decide on what I want to practice that day -> play a couple songs of that skillset -> become frustrated since I can't play them as well as I would like -> go to a multi lobby/ranked play.

And while I have improved tremendously compared to myself from 1 year ago, it still feels a bit slow since I think it's obvious I would improve when playing as much as I did (~500h in 1 year). For reference, I hover around 1650-1700 on ranked play with a sample size of 35 games and have an etx of 5.479* right now.

Thanks for reading this long post!
