I remember that whenever someone was asked to name a mouse icon for osu!, "FunOrange" would definitely be on their list. At least I can say that for myself. I remember you from your first Airman video! One of the biggest inspiration for me even tho I wasn't really a mouse player, but i always admired those who were ;) Also good job on developing these helpful programs for the game, they are surely will create a lot of upcoming legends 💪
Rewatching this video after a year because FunOrange had such an impact on me, I still remember him. I stopped playing after FunOrange's Osu career started to fade. It was a fun time, looking at my idols and all, I kind of still am searching for new idols and communities to follow, just like Osu. I wonder what kind of person I will become. I miss everyone that has been throughout my journey, including FunOrange.
you were a huge inspiration to me first starting osu, and you are the reason i committed to mouse despite the leaderboards being filled with tablet players. i probably wouldn't be playing osu at all if i didn't see your videos in my recommended. i wish you the best in everything you do ily funorange o7
lmao its actually funny how funorange was inspired to commit to mouse cause of other cracked players then became cracked themselves and then also inspired more mouse players, its a beautiful cycle
one of my biggest inspirations. i got a wireless mouse, 60% kb, played 4:3 cause of you. im 7 years in now but i still cant compare. i even used your skins for years since they are hidden friendly. thanks for everything so far bro
I started playing in 2011 along with Chewin (some people may still remember him for getting a 1x miss airman choke back in 2011), hit around #60 at ppv1 peak and #200 ppv2 peak and I see myself so much in the points you made that motivated you to keep playing. Seeing my name pop up on bancho at 0:54 sent me on a trip down memory lane. I too was a mouse player who was inspired by SiLviA in 2012, he got me into alternating as well before it was cool... Like I'd get dms from people asking me how I alternate. Idk I just do lol. You were on point with the clout thing, I was a friendless quiet kid in high school and the thought of reaching some sort of osu! stardom filled my mind with absurdly high levels of dopamine. I had a ton of time and nothing else to do besides school, I'd spend all day thinking about playing osu. I'm 25 now and really wish I could get back into the game (I can finally afford a decent pc!) but there's no time or motivation for it anymore, and just like you, the thought of being unable to reach the level of today's top players no matter what I do (even if I had infinite time, I wouldn't have the drive I had back then) demotivates me from trying. The only thing I regret (although it was out of my control) was not being able to afford a half decent setup that could have propelled me much higher up in the rankings at the time. You were a great inspiration for me back then :) didn't know we related so much in our experiences and motivations. Cheers, Jordan
Whenever I see or hear Airman my brain immediately goes to your 1x100 HD play all these years later. Happy to still be a part of this amazing community
thank you funorange for talking about osu!trainer!! i still think it's the absolute best way to improve at the game (along with playing more and having a good mindset)
not sure if you’ll read this but you’re such a huge inspiration to me and you were the reason I started osu and why I still play with a mouse today. even you don’t play or upload much anymore you’ll still be my favorite player in my heart 💙
Also started playing in 2012, crazy how time flies. Your were a huge inspiration for me alongside other top canadian players back in the day! Thank you for playing haha
You're 8 star unravel video was the first ever osu video I saw and it was infinitely more impressive than anything else other osu players were doing. I was just so impressed at how you could process all the things that were happening on screen as they were changing so quickly. I decided that I wanted to do that but was intimidated. I watched more of your videos and other osu players and started playing at the start of 2022. Thanks for the inspiration and I wish you good luck on your future endeavors. =)
ayo bro same- I was watching tokyo ghoul in mid 2021 and i came across the unravel vid, been at osu since. I've been watching fun orange for a year now and as a mouse player myself, he's one of the biggest inspirations...
The two videos that really stuck to me from you was your seashore on the moon and rawstyle bomb plays and that actually kept me going even after my friend who introduced me to osu stopped playing
I remember the first videos that I watched about osu was Cookiezi's High Score FC and your Candyland video. Thank you for being a huge inspiration, and good luck with your future plans!
Funny that you mention the whole apocalypse shebang of 2012, cause I literally started playing on that very day, the 21st of December 2012. Got a 10 year osu anniversary of continuous activity coming up myself.
The airman video with the coolermaster keyboard that had one red and one blue keycap is the reason I started playing. Thank you for all the content throughout the years love you bro hope you continue to do well in whatever you do!
definitely one of my biggest inspirations for improvement as a mouse player and tech map enjoyer, ill never forget the time you raided me when i was streaming minecraft school rp and forgot to change my game category from osu lmao insane video, love to see it
i remember being a high schooler and dreaming about playing on the OWC Canada team with you & Azer. seeing you stop playing osu because you thought it was a "waste of time"... i was heartbroken, and eventually went on to playing other games (but still keeping up with osu on the side). i don't blame you for being a kid and saying things you don't believe anymore. especially not since i didn't know you pivoted into making it into UofT, Waterloo and Mac though??? i'm very happy to see that even though you did this, it ended up being worth something, and you ultimately didn't regret your time on osu. good luck with whatever you set your mind to. i'll still be quietly cheering you on from the sidelines.
As someone that also plays almost 11 years now, things that you’ve said are very relatable to me too. I still remember that FunOrange skin that are modified version of Tom94 with Kirby on it and it became my favorite skin back in 2015. You also kinda introduce me with the really good gaming mice and mousepads that available on the market. Good luck on you current life!
been watching your videos since you started making them. you and azer have been by far my biggest inspirations to get better at this game over the years. i've been through a lot of shit - grown a lot, been through relationships, gotten through school... and i still find myself coming back to your channel 8 or however many years later for inspiration. you, azer, and azr8 have been the thelewas of my 8 or so years playing this game. i never had the motivation that is required to get to the top, but i wouldn't have had any interest in the game had i not been obsessed with yalls plays back in the day. your description of how you eventually just lost interest in osu and video games in general really hit home as a 22 year old. good luck out there man. i hope you find similar success in whatever goals you decide to work towards in the future ❤
thank you for being such a huge impact and motivation through 2015-2020 for me. i idolized you, waited for a video to come out and watch it instantly. i hope your life continues to give you great and fun adventures :)
The moment thelewa was mentioned hit me like a truck. I joined quite a bit later (2015, I think?), but I was still just... not ready. Masterful video, by the way. Kinda explains why I never got out of 6 digits. I never had time, I saw more potential elsewhere, and I'm not a Filipino. All I had was just... enjoying the game when I had the chance to play it. But judging by the video, maybe that's how it was meant to be. Not everyone's cut out to be a top player. I'm glad a person like you managed to become one. Cheers to the 10 years. Here's to many more.
I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen a video make so much sense. I mean it’s pretty clean cut. I’ve never been consistent and osu even now. And I’ve only been playing since 2017. The thought of even reaching top 1,000 is crazy to me and I’m a junior right now. I imagine I’ll feel the same way you do once I get into college. And especially once I graduate from there.
Brooo I have grown up with you weirdly enough. Finishing my last uni semester this December with a Bachelors in software engineering. I remember so many random videos on this channel like cooking ramen and your first (java?) game you uploaded a demo of back then. Good shit man glad to see you killing it. Also, RIP thelewa forever a legend.
Wtf didn't realize you improved this fast?! Also very good video, especially the end. I also don't have a lot of time for osu! (4th year CPE student) and I play osu! For an hour every couple of days, I have plans in 2023 to play everyday for an hour or two just to improve for a last time before quiting because I know for a fact that I will just stop playing slowly once a get a job or something. But honestly, I'm not that content with this lol, I was I can go back to when I was 15 and free to play as much as I wanted. But at the same time I'm happy right now, so quitting would be fine too
Dude, I remember watching your unravel but its an 8* map video few months ago when i was 7 digit and i was absolutely flabbergasted that someone with a mouse just like me could set scores this crazy. You are my motivation for sticking with mouse. You were an important part of the community and I'll miss you man
it was fun seeing you around in the community and leaderboards for all these years.. im also approaching my 10 year soon ahaha good luck on what's to come, im sure you'll do great :)
Ever since I started playing osu! two years ago, your videos where you play alt or tech maps have always inspired me to get good at those skillsets. Now I'm almost a 4 digit, which is much further than I ever thought I'd get in this game. Thanks for the motivation! I'm glad you're doing well.
Second year into osu, the first month into osu! i was tempting to get a tablet, until i came across one of your videos, i saw how good you are and then decided i would just commit to mouse. Thank you.
its mildly offtopic from the main point of the video, but thelewa askfm was an unironically formative experience for me (too) in 2013-2015. i share the experience 1:1 even down to learning about mechanical keyboards and buying one because of him. except i bought the one he used instead. its probably a couple tiers down the iceberg by now so made me happy to hear someone share the specific experience. and congratulations on your own journey with the game, definitely made your mark on the community.
Your score on some insanely technical maps where so inspirational for me as a mouse player because besides Andros you gave me the motivation that you can reach highs very few people can even if you're playing in a style not many top players play in. Thank you for the video, I hope you are enjoying your job and life, take care.
Fantastic video from start to finish. I also relate with the mentality of being done with videogames. Nowadays I don't play as much as I used to, due to my job, and because of other interest. Whatever you'll do from now on, best of luck!
You're the best mouse player, in my heart at least, even if I dont play osu! a lot anymore, for the little time I played it, you were my inspiration. Much love to you and to everyone down there in the comments !
It's pretty fun that you release the osu trainer on my b-day, Good video bro! I love to see you again hope you're having a healthy and successfully life bro!
I first played osu in 2016 but never really played again or got into it until the middle of 2020. I have friends who actively still play osu and told me back then that if I really wanted to be better at the game that I had to buy a tablet, even if it's a cheap one. But then I get your videos in my recommended and I watched how well you play using mouse. And so your videos inspired me to continue playing osu using a mouse and in under 1 year (at the time) I caught up to the level my friends regularly played at which is around 5-6 stars, which isn't really that high I guess but it was fun lol. I also got probably the best mice I've used so far through watching your 3D printed mouse vid. TL;DR: thanks for the really entertaining videos and streams. It gave me a really fun time playing osu.
Dude I'm happy u are finally back on youtube. You were my inspiration when I played mouse and when I started playing Osu! You were the main reason I started the Osu! grind after seeing your video "Getting number 1 on my favourite map"
Clicked the video out of curiosity. The moment I see that smile 2:36, I clicked the like button. Although I'm by no mean a good osu! player, I can relate to loving to play a game for years and still enjoy it. Great video! No matter the time has passed, I hope you will be enjoying the game like you used to. Much love
I was postponing this video for 11 days because tbh I didn't want to watch it since I knew how it's gonna end. It is so funny how osu community has it's "circle of life"; you watched thelewa and wanted to be like him, I found your videos and I was so fucking impressed with you smoothness (2016-2017?) that wanted to chase your level - to this day you are the top player in my eyes. Of course, your commitment to the game was way higher than mine, however I'm still proud of achieving ~50k and starting to understand tech maps sooo much more. I wasn't that obsessed with, well with you xd, as you were with thelewa, but every time I felt down because of how I played, I was watching your videos to get me going again. And just every time you uploaded I was admiring your plays so much, then quickly going to the description and downloading the map.. :D I'm very happy that you shared this video, because I was never keeping up with your stuff that much, and this is like a little peep to your life, which made me happy tbh, such a strange world we live in xd. Are you planning on posting anything? Not even gaming, just the stuff you find enjoyable. It's nice to hear that you feel good (or more like, I hope I understood your vid AND you are feeling good) with your life, but since we all are selfish - I hope one day I will see another osu video on this channel :devil: Ps. Thanks for the apps you made :) u cute
Just like you, I also was looking up a song when I found out about osu. I watched a few videos on it in the 2012-2013 era, but didn't make an account or play the game then. A few years later, I re-discover the game again - notably, your channel, but don't do much about it, in 2015. Your aim with a mouse made me incredibly jealous, and I racked up a few plays, but ultimately quit within a month. Fast forward to 2019, I suddenly find myself bored of everything, and with a lot of free time - and after three years of on and off playing, I am super close to scraping my way into the 5 digit realm! As much as we both know it, things can get boring, and you might "abandon" something, but eventually you will find yourself with some free time, nothing better to do, and boot up an old game for fun. Thanks for being my thelewa/SiLviA all these years, and likely serving as an inspiration to many other mouse players.
Wow, what a journey it’s been. The ending was really interesting. I started playing a few years ago and your part of the reason. My favourite time was around last year when you were really active. I hope my journey will be as interesting as yours and Continue playing for years on end. I’m In highschool just like you were but the difference is I’m not playing as much. Idk what else to say but have fun and “see you next time” cuz there will always be a next time. Quitting osu is not possible. We always come back. So do me a favour, make another video in 10 more years maybe not about osu but about life and in 10 years I’ll be close to this video now (in my osu journey)
i started osu thanks to you life goes on and a lot of things change i hope youre finding your hapiness youre a big inspiration to me thats why i play mouse but you are not only a big inspiration in osu xD i wish you the best for the future
Thats beautiful. I've been playing osu for 2,5 years now, and I can say that I'm a really good tech player, but I don't have the motivation to play. But this video gave me so much motivation, and now all I want to do is to play osu. Thank you FunOrange.
Your galaxy collapse video was the first ever osu video I watched and from then I have been playing it trying to improve. Huge inspiration to me. I am happy you are doing well and wish you the bust of luck with life! Also fun fact we live in the same town and I only found that out like last week.
Omfg you're filipino 😭😭. I'm not a dedicated player I just play osu to make my brain hyoer before working (be it an assignment) and I jist like rhythm games in general. I particularly like tech maps becuase I love future bass and other hyper sounding edm. I started watching you becuase of your satisfying cursor movement and skill in tech maps. I started playing in 2016 but stopped for a few years coming back every 2 yrs when I remember I have osu. This video is really nice and I feel inspired to be better. I'm a 6 digit that keeps getting slider breaks but can decently jump and stream, I cant FC a map, I generally just love playing casually lol.
FunOrange is so wholesome in the Community that he still makes me enjoy the game even though I can never beat my top score ever again. Happy 10th Anniversary on osu!. Also Silvia is most definitely a Drifter by far just by his name and the Drifting JDM car.
Your candyyyland video was what made me register my account. Thank you for all of the content over the years. You inspired me to be a mouse player (for like the first 6 months lol), but fr gl on all your future endeavors and whatever you do with your life, and maybe upload like 1 more vid so you can hit 100k lmao?
I'm just gonna chime in and say that you are my main inspiration for mouse (and being a tech player wannabe 😭). I will never forget how insane your uploads of candyyyland and seashore were to me back in highschool when I started, and I'm glad you've moved on to the better things in your life. Gl from now on o7
Hey FunOrange, I just wanted to thank you for what you've done over the years. I played back in 2012-2013 a little bit myself but stopped rather soon to hop onto other games. Your video/play on Seashore on the moon was the reason I came back to osu and is one of the reasons why I'm still playing. Also loving osu-trainer ever since you've released it. I hope you're doing good in life and that you will reach the goals you've set for yourself! Thank you again.
Man, I wish I got into osu earlier when I was back in highschool but I still enjoy the game now even tho my motivation is slowly dying but thanks for everything you've done for the community ❤
cool vid, sat through all of it i relate a bit on the motivation stuff and the filipino stuff but minus the talent and smarts and me only starting circle game at around 2021 life happens also thanks for inspiring vaxei to use your skin
Epic video! Always super fun to hear about how sick players found the game and what they were a part of in the community. Looks like a good trip! P.S: Love the mention of SiLviA and his other endeveours into kei truck racing, the clip of him saving a crash on his channel is absolutely hilarious
The update on silvia was perfect 😆. It's good to see mouse players still active. You got your clout that you wanted. Part of the greatness of osu! is the community, so it's good to have contributions of all types. College made me take a break, got a job etc. Life gets busy
To be honest I can't believe this hahaha, I have been playing osu in 2013, break to 2016-2018, and some months in 2020-2021 I was 16 yo, I grow up with this game, and I peak #15 Spain (#1500 world) I played osu 2 hours each day during two years, I didn't sacrificed that much, but I loved the experience and the community I'm impressed you went to uni and now work, like me, as front end developer (I'm 21 yo) I also been playing mouse, but my peak level was using tablet, I loved your videos, and now I think we are not so different hahaha I also felt the same way as you playing osu! and I understand a lot of feelings you had in the game Congrats by reaching the top and also having a good job, I had to fully quit it if I wanted to reach where I am now. Cheers
Damn man I only joined in 2018 but seeing how much you played back then it throws me back hard, I was the same, it's all I wanted to play the dopamine rush you got from the game was incredible in the early days but now it's hard to find motivation because of adulthood but it's still great. Also your tools are amazing thank you for all your work!
Just want to say i recently decided to use my twitch prime to gain acces to osu collector and man what a thing that's insane i rediscover osu with this so much fun every session thx so much !!!
you may have to leave osu! for typical reasons but the legacy you left will still be remembered for however long the game lasts in the databases. you have the programs that you made and are widely used in the community. you already left a good mark in the community and not forgetting to mention the scores you have made back then that will inspire players new (mouse) players (like me when i was a 6 digit :D) just like how you were inspired by silvia and thelewa. i hope you'll have a wonderful life ahead and take care!
I remember when i get into osu in 2018 seeing videos from u like the candyland one, u got me in this game for 4 years(almost 5), you were my inspiration to keep playing mouse, i still remember when we play fortnite like 2 year ago( with eml i think) and we win wjdbwbdjqbd victory royal a!!!111, and you ask me on disc what eat chilean people and i said beans and choripan asjjsjwdjjwdn, well, congratz for now living a normal and joyfull life, peace !!!.
This is a long shot, and completely unrelated to your video, but I really admire your osu-trainer app, and appreciate the code behind it. I've gotten inspiration from you but my CS skills are not as good as yours... I have a few questions about your code if you're willing to answer!
the first video i saw about osu was the Tokyo Ghoul play. That one addicted me to play OSU! Having a big desire to play. Just thank you FunOrange. You have changed everything
siri, play still in my heart by psyqui edit: man, you were the reason why I kept my pride to stick with mouse because I just want to be good as you!! Thank you so much for the impact you gave not just to me but the whole osu! community. Also, if possible, pls upload some of the projects you're currently working, or life updates or something. I really enjoy watching your videos!!
you were my biggest inspiration to play with mouse and yes back then in 2013(i dont have youtube account lol) wubwoofwolf, doomsday and you were my best trio to looking forward for osu gameplay
No se si llegues a leer esto por el hecho de que este en español, pero quiero decir esto de todos modos: Sinceramente cuando estaba viendo el video, comprendi poco a poco todo lo que sucedio en los aspectos del Osu!, la forma en la que querias seguir jugando pero no disponias de motivacion o tiempo, y querias de alguna forma tomar un descanso del Osu!, y a mi me ha pasado lo mismo desde que comence a jugar, hace 1 año, y sinceramente con tu historia tras 10 largos años, he llegado a la conclusion de que cambiare mi forma de vivir y de jugar, haciendo lo posible por no hacer lo que hiciste al inicio de jugar tanto tiempo seguido, ya que yo en mi mente queria seguir jugando siempre durante muchos años mas dejando todo lo demas de lado, y gracias a tu historia finalmente comprendi que es lo que deberia hacer, y sobre todo el final del video, diciendo que no te arrepientes de haber jugado al Osu! Ha hecho de que casi llorara xD saludos amigo 🤘🤘.
Some of this was a trip back to the past. I started back in 2014. I remember getting into the 20k ranks with 2kpp. Now I'm at 50k or so with 5kpp. How times have changed...
You're my favorite player man, I was on the verge of quitting osu because I really thought that you cannot be a top player if you don't use a tablet lol. I wish you all the best in your life man :D also if your goal before is to reach the top 100 then it will be my goal as well xDD
I've been playing osu for a little over a year now and this video has made me realize that maybe I will make it to the 10 year mark. When I first joined the game, I never understood how people played this game for 5+ years, sure it's addicting but I believed that I would quit the game before 5 years, but since my first year of osu has flown by, I'm now reconsidering, I'm slowly understanding how people play this game for 5+ years and maybe I'll be one of them (God forbid).
Only real ogs remember no pain no game live play. Dang man that quick fire tk with the blue switches and the Logitech g400 with the steel series mousepad really brings me back, I remember I bought them and used them for about 2 years. You were a huge inspiration to me when I was new to the game, still use mouse to this day!
you were an inspiration to me as well for playing mouse (despite playing tablet and switching back and forth) but you rsally showed me that u can be good with a mouse
RIP Lewa 😭 he will be greatly missed but always remembered as a kind and funny dude who truly was one of if not THE best accuracy player of his time, rest well space cowboy
beautiful video, I'm glad you're finding your happiness and successes in life and you're a big inspiration to a lot of us canadians ❤

Thank you Funorange, not only for motivating me as a kid, but for entertaining me throughout these years.
I started playing in 2011 along with Chewin (some people may still remember him for getting a 1x miss airman choke back in 2011), hit around #60 at ppv1 peak and #200 ppv2 peak and I see myself so much in the points you made that motivated you to keep playing.

You were a great inspiration for me back then :) didn't know we related so much in our experiences and motivations.

You're still the best in my heart man
this ^^^^
Whenever I see or hear Airman my brain immediately goes to your 1x100 HD play all these years later. Happy to still be a part of this amazing community
thank you funorange for talking about osu!trainer!! i still think it's the absolute best way to improve at the game (along with playing more and having a good mindset)
not sure if you’ll read this but you’re such a huge inspiration to me and you were the reason I started osu and why I still play with a mouse today. even you don’t play or upload much anymore you’ll still be my favorite player in my heart 💙
aw man this brings me back, thanks for the video!! we started about at the same time so its a nice walk down memory lane :D
Also started playing in 2012, crazy how time flies. Your were a huge inspiration for me alongside other top canadian players back in the day! Thank you for playing haha
You're 8 star unravel video was the first ever osu video I saw and it was infinitely more impressive than anything else other osu players were doing. I was just so impressed at how you could process all the things that were happening on screen as they were changing so quickly. I decided that I wanted to do that but was intimidated. I watched more of your videos and other osu players and started playing at the start of 2022. Thanks for the inspiration and I wish you good luck on your future endeavors. =)
ayo bro same- I was watching tokyo ghoul in mid 2021 and i came across the unravel vid, been at osu since. I've been watching fun orange for a year now and as a mouse player myself, he's one of the biggest inspirations...
The two videos that really stuck to me from you was your seashore on the moon and rawstyle bomb plays and that actually kept me going even after my friend who introduced me to osu stopped playing
I remember the first videos that I watched about osu was Cookiezi's High Score FC and your Candyland video. Thank you for being a huge inspiration, and good luck with your future plans!
Funny that you mention the whole apocalypse shebang of 2012, cause I literally started playing on that very day, the 21st of December 2012. Got a 10 year osu anniversary of continuous activity coming up myself.
The airman video with the coolermaster keyboard that had one red and one blue keycap is the reason I started playing. Thank you for all the content throughout the years love you bro hope you continue to do well in whatever you do!
definitely one of my biggest inspirations for improvement as a mouse player and tech map enjoyer, ill never forget the time you raided me when i was streaming minecraft school rp and forgot to change my game category from osu lmao
insane video, love to see it
i remember being a high schooler and dreaming about playing on the OWC Canada team with you & Azer. seeing you stop playing osu because you thought it was a "waste of time"... i was heartbroken, and eventually went on to playing other games (but still keeping up with osu on the side). i don't blame you for being a kid and saying things you don't believe anymore. especially not since i didn't know you pivoted into making it into UofT, Waterloo and Mac though??? i'm very happy to see that even though you did this, it ended up being worth something, and you ultimately didn't regret your time on osu. good luck with whatever you set your mind to. i'll still be quietly cheering you on from the sidelines.
As someone that also plays almost 11 years now, things that you’ve said are very relatable to me too. I still remember that FunOrange skin that are modified version of Tom94 with Kirby on it and it became my favorite skin back in 2015. You also kinda introduce me with the really good gaming mice and mousepads that available on the market. Good luck on you current life!
growing up you were a pretty big inspiration to me because of you and your osu skillz. ❤🐐
been watching your videos since you started making them. you and azer have been by far my biggest inspirations to get better at this game over the years. i've been through a lot of shit - grown a lot, been through relationships, gotten through school... and i still find myself coming back to your channel 8 or however many years later for inspiration.
you, azer, and azr8 have been the thelewas of my 8 or so years playing this game. i never had the motivation that is required to get to the top, but i wouldn't have had any interest in the game had i not been obsessed with yalls plays back in the day.
your description of how you eventually just lost interest in osu and video games in general really hit home as a 22 year old.
good luck out there man. i hope you find similar success in whatever goals you decide to work towards in the future ❤
thank you for being such a huge impact and motivation through 2015-2020 for me. i idolized you, waited for a video to come out and watch it instantly. i hope your life continues to give you great and fun adventures :)
Amazing video dude
CONGRATS ON 100K SUBS!!! 🎉🎉🎉
You are literally one of my biggest inspiration.. well deserved on the 100k and thank you.
The moment thelewa was mentioned hit me like a truck. I joined quite a bit later (2015, I think?), but I was still just... not ready.
Masterful video, by the way. Kinda explains why I never got out of 6 digits.
I never had time, I saw more potential elsewhere, and I'm not a Filipino. All I had was just... enjoying the game when I had the chance to play it.
But judging by the video, maybe that's how it was meant to be. Not everyone's cut out to be a top player. I'm glad a person like you managed to become one.
Cheers to the 10 years. Here's to many more.
Your videos really motivate me a lot, i remember when i choke too much, i watch your video then start grinding back. Love your video
I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen a video make so much sense. I mean it’s pretty clean cut. I’ve never been consistent and osu even now. And I’ve only been playing since 2017. The thought of even reaching top 1,000 is crazy to me and I’m a junior right now. I imagine I’ll feel the same way you do once I get into college. And especially once I graduate from there.
Brooo I have grown up with you weirdly enough. Finishing my last uni semester this December with a Bachelors in software engineering. I remember so many random videos on this channel like cooking ramen and your first (java?) game you uploaded a demo of back then. Good shit man glad to see you killing it. Also, RIP thelewa forever a legend.
good luck in ur life and u really was one of the best people in osu that inspired me and yeah thats life...
Wtf didn't realize you improved this fast?!
Also very good video, especially the end. I also don't have a lot of time for osu! (4th year CPE student) and I play osu! For an hour every couple of days, I have plans in 2023 to play everyday for an hour or two just to improve for a last time before quiting because I know for a fact that I will just stop playing slowly once a get a job or something.
But honestly, I'm not that content with this lol, I was I can go back to when I was 15 and free to play as much as I wanted. But at the same time I'm happy right now, so quitting would be fine too
Dude, I remember watching your unravel but its an 8* map video few months ago when i was 7 digit and i was absolutely flabbergasted that someone with a mouse just like me could set scores this crazy. You are my motivation for sticking with mouse. You were an important part of the community and I'll miss you man
it was fun seeing you around in the community and leaderboards for all these years.. im also approaching my 10 year soon ahaha
good luck on what's to come, im sure you'll do great :)
Ever since I started playing osu! two years ago, your videos where you play alt or tech maps have always inspired me to get good at those skillsets. Now I'm almost a 4 digit, which is much further than I ever thought I'd get in this game. Thanks for the motivation! I'm glad you're doing well.
you're my biggest inspiration and also the reason why i never used a tablet lol. happy 10th year milestone funorange!
great video and best of luck on your future endeavors man
one of my main inspirations in sticking to osu!, without you i probably would have stopped playing. all the best o7
Rip thelewa and I love your videos you are the reason why I still use a mouse in osu but happy for u man
Second year into osu, the first month into osu! i was tempting to get a tablet, until i came across one of your videos, i saw how good you are and then decided i would just commit to mouse. Thank you.
its mildly offtopic from the main point of the video, but thelewa askfm was an unironically formative experience for me (too) in 2013-2015. i share the experience 1:1 even down to learning about mechanical keyboards and buying one because of him. except i bought the one he used instead. its probably a couple tiers down the iceberg by now so made me happy to hear someone share the specific experience.
and congratulations on your own journey with the game, definitely made your mark on the community.
RIP lewa
osu!collector might be the most worth it $2 I've ever spent. THANK YOU!
Your score on some insanely technical maps where so inspirational for me as a mouse player because besides Andros you gave me the motivation that you can reach highs very few people can even if you're playing in a style not many top players play in. Thank you for the video, I hope you are enjoying your job and life, take care.
Fantastic video from start to finish.
I also relate with the mentality of being done with videogames. Nowadays I don't play as much as I used to, due to my job, and because of other interest.
Whatever you'll do from now on, best of luck!
You're the best mouse player, in my heart at least, even if I dont play osu! a lot anymore, for the little time I played it, you were my inspiration.
Much love to you and to everyone down there in the comments !
It's pretty fun that you release the osu trainer on my b-day, Good video bro! I love to see you again hope you're having a healthy and successfully life bro!
You've always been an iconic player to me, thank you for contributing to this game over the years like little to no others did
I first played osu in 2016 but never really played again or got into it until the middle of 2020. I have friends who actively still play osu and told me back then that if I really wanted to be better at the game that I had to buy a tablet, even if it's a cheap one. But then I get your videos in my recommended and I watched how well you play using mouse. And so your videos inspired me to continue playing osu using a mouse and in under 1 year (at the time) I caught up to the level my friends regularly played at which is around 5-6 stars, which isn't really that high I guess but it was fun lol. I also got probably the best mice I've used so far through watching your 3D printed mouse vid.
TL;DR: thanks for the really entertaining videos and streams. It gave me a really fun time playing osu.
Dude I'm happy u are finally back on youtube. You were my inspiration when I played mouse and when I started playing Osu! You were the main reason I started the Osu! grind after seeing your video "Getting number 1 on my favourite map"
Clicked the video out of curiosity. The moment I see that smile 2:36, I clicked the like button. Although I'm by no mean a good osu! player, I can relate to loving to play a game for years and still enjoy it. Great video! No matter the time has passed, I hope you will be enjoying the game like you used to. Much love
I was postponing this video for 11 days because tbh I didn't want to watch it since I knew how it's gonna end.
It is so funny how osu community has it's "circle of life"; you watched thelewa and wanted to be like him, I found your videos and I was so fucking impressed with you smoothness (2016-2017?) that wanted to chase your level - to this day you are the top player in my eyes. Of course, your commitment to the game was way higher than mine, however I'm still proud of achieving ~50k and starting to understand tech maps sooo much more. I wasn't that obsessed with, well with you xd, as you were with thelewa, but every time I felt down because of how I played, I was watching your videos to get me going again. And just every time you uploaded I was admiring your plays so much, then quickly going to the description and downloading the map.. :D
I'm very happy that you shared this video, because I was never keeping up with your stuff that much, and this is like a little peep to your life, which made me happy tbh, such a strange world we live in xd.
Are you planning on posting anything? Not even gaming, just the stuff you find enjoyable.
It's nice to hear that you feel good (or more like, I hope I understood your vid AND you are feeling good) with your life, but since we all are selfish - I hope one day I will see another osu video on this channel :devil:
Ps.
Thanks for the apps you made :)
u cute
I will be selling keypads in the next 1-2 months, so I'll probably make videos on that. But aside from that I have nothing else planned
@@FunOrange ooooo, thats epic, i wanted to buy simpad2 for myself. Will you ship to europe? I will gladly wait if you do.
Just like you, I also was looking up a song when I found out about osu. I watched a few videos on it in the 2012-2013 era, but didn't make an account or play the game then. A few years later, I re-discover the game again - notably, your channel, but don't do much about it, in 2015. Your aim with a mouse made me incredibly jealous, and I racked up a few plays, but ultimately quit within a month. Fast forward to 2019, I suddenly find myself bored of everything, and with a lot of free time - and after three years of on and off playing, I am super close to scraping my way into the 5 digit realm! As much as we both know it, things can get boring, and you might "abandon" something, but eventually you will find yourself with some free time, nothing better to do, and boot up an old game for fun. Thanks for being my thelewa/SiLviA all these years, and likely serving as an inspiration to many other mouse players.
Wow, what a journey it’s been. The ending was really interesting. I started playing a few years ago and your part of the reason. My favourite time was around last year when you were really active. I hope my journey will be as interesting as yours and Continue playing for years on end. I’m In highschool just like you were but the difference is I’m not playing as much. Idk what else to say but have fun and “see you next time” cuz there will always be a next time. Quitting osu is not possible. We always come back. So do me a favour, make another video in 10 more years maybe not about osu but about life and in 10 years I’ll be close to this video now (in my osu journey)
you and doomsday were my idols back in the day, good times.
i started osu thanks to you life goes on and a lot of things change i hope youre finding your hapiness youre a big inspiration to me thats why i play mouse but you are not only a big inspiration in osu xD i wish you the best for the future
Thats beautiful. I've been playing osu for 2,5 years now, and I can say that I'm a really good tech player, but I don't have the motivation to play. But this video gave me so much motivation, and now all I want to do is to play osu. Thank you FunOrange.
You're the reason I bought my superlight
Your galaxy collapse video was the first ever osu video I watched and from then I have been playing it trying to improve. Huge inspiration to me. I am happy you are doing well and wish you the bust of luck with life! Also fun fact we live in the same town and I only found that out like last week.
I've come to know of your existence in 2014 because I liked one of the skins you made. Now is 2022 and I still follow you lol
Omfg you're filipino 😭😭. I'm not a dedicated player I just play osu to make my brain hyoer before working (be it an assignment) and I jist like rhythm games in general. I particularly like tech maps becuase I love future bass and other hyper sounding edm. I started watching you becuase of your satisfying cursor movement and skill in tech maps. I started playing in 2016 but stopped for a few years coming back every 2 yrs when I remember I have osu. This video is really nice and I feel inspired to be better. I'm a 6 digit that keeps getting slider breaks but can decently jump and stream, I cant FC a map, I generally just love playing casually lol.
FunOrange is so wholesome in the Community that he still makes me enjoy the game even though I can never beat my top score ever again. Happy 10th Anniversary on osu!. Also Silvia is most definitely a Drifter by far just by his name and the Drifting JDM car.
Your candyyyland video was what made me register my account. Thank you for all of the content over the years. You inspired me to be a mouse player (for like the first 6 months lol), but fr gl on all your future endeavors and whatever you do with your life, and maybe upload like 1 more vid so you can hit 100k lmao?
Love the nostalgia trip from this video.
I'm just gonna chime in and say that you are my main inspiration for mouse (and being a tech player wannabe 😭). I will never forget how insane your uploads of candyyyland and seashore were to me back in highschool when I started, and I'm glad you've moved on to the better things in your life. Gl from now on o7
Hey FunOrange,
I just wanted to thank you for what you've done over the years. I played back in 2012-2013 a little bit myself but stopped rather soon to hop onto other games. Your video/play on Seashore on the moon was the reason I came back to osu and is one of the reasons why I'm still playing. Also loving osu-trainer ever since you've released it. I hope you're doing good in life and that you will reach the goals you've set for yourself! Thank you again.
Man, I wish I got into osu earlier when I was back in highschool but I still enjoy the game now even tho my motivation is slowly dying but thanks for everything you've done for the community ❤
This is best UA-cam video I watch In a vary long time. God tier video 🤝
cool vid, sat through all of it
i relate a bit on the motivation stuff and the filipino stuff but minus the talent and smarts and me only starting circle game at around 2021
life happens
also thanks for inspiring vaxei to use your skin
Epic video! Always super fun to hear about how sick players found the game and what they were a part of in the community. Looks like a good trip!
P.S: Love the mention of SiLviA and his other endeveours into kei truck racing, the clip of him saving a crash on his channel is absolutely hilarious
you were one of my biggest inspirations when i first started playing osu, i'm wishing you the best in whatever you decide to do always !! :3
The update on silvia was perfect 😆. It's good to see mouse players still active. You got your clout that you wanted. Part of the greatness of osu! is the community, so it's good to have contributions of all types. College made me take a break, got a job etc. Life gets busy
To be honest I can't believe this hahaha, I have been playing osu in 2013, break to 2016-2018, and some months in 2020-2021
I was 16 yo, I grow up with this game, and I peak #15 Spain (#1500 world)
I played osu 2 hours each day during two years, I didn't sacrificed that much, but I loved the experience and the community
I'm impressed you went to uni and now work, like me, as front end developer (I'm 21 yo)
I also been playing mouse, but my peak level was using tablet, I loved your videos, and now I think we are not so different hahaha
I also felt the same way as you playing osu! and I understand a lot of feelings you had in the game
Congrats by reaching the top and also having a good job, I had to fully quit it if I wanted to reach where I am now.
Cheers
Damn man I only joined in 2018 but seeing how much you played back then it throws me back hard, I was the same, it's all I wanted to play the dopamine rush you got from the game was incredible in the early days but now it's hard to find motivation because of adulthood but it's still great. Also your tools are amazing thank you for all your work!
gl funorange, your impact on the game was huge and I am thankful for it
Just want to say i recently decided to use my twitch prime to gain acces to osu collector and man what a thing that's insane i rediscover osu with this so much fun every session thx so much !!!
you may have to leave osu! for typical reasons but the legacy you left will still be remembered for however long the game lasts in the databases. you have the programs that you made and are widely used in the community. you already left a good mark in the community and not forgetting to mention the scores you have made back then that will inspire players new (mouse) players (like me when i was a 6 digit :D) just like how you were inspired by silvia and thelewa. i hope you'll have a wonderful life ahead and take care!
I remember when i get into osu in 2018 seeing videos from u like the candyland one, u got me in this game for 4 years(almost 5), you were my inspiration to keep playing mouse, i still remember when we play fortnite like 2 year ago( with eml i think)
and we win wjdbwbdjqbd victory royal a!!!111, and you ask me on disc what eat chilean people and i said beans and choripan asjjsjwdjjwdn, well, congratz for now living a normal and joyfull life, peace !!!.
thanks for the upload FunOrange, great video
This is a long shot, and completely unrelated to your video, but I really admire your osu-trainer app, and appreciate the code behind it. I've gotten inspiration from you but my CS skills are not as good as yours... I have a few questions about your code if you're willing to answer!
#1 Canada in 1 year
Fillipino genetics, dude
Hey bro what's you think his screen resolution is ___________ Tell me plz
the first video i saw about osu was the Tokyo Ghoul play. That one addicted me to play OSU! Having a big desire to play. Just thank you FunOrange. You have changed everything
siri, play still in my heart by psyqui
edit: man, you were the reason why I kept my pride to stick with mouse because I just want to be good as you!! Thank you so much for the impact you gave not just to me but the whole osu! community.
Also, if possible, pls upload some of the projects you're currently working, or life updates or something. I really enjoy watching your videos!!
you were my biggest inspiration to play with mouse
and yes back then in 2013(i dont have youtube account lol) wubwoofwolf, doomsday and you were my best trio to looking forward for osu gameplay
No se si llegues a leer esto por el hecho de que este en español, pero quiero decir esto de todos modos:
Sinceramente cuando estaba viendo el video, comprendi poco a poco todo lo que sucedio en los aspectos del Osu!, la forma en la que querias seguir jugando pero no disponias de motivacion o tiempo, y querias de alguna forma tomar un descanso del Osu!, y a mi me ha pasado lo mismo desde que comence a jugar, hace 1 año, y sinceramente con tu historia tras 10 largos años, he llegado a la conclusion de que cambiare mi forma de vivir y de jugar, haciendo lo posible por no hacer lo que hiciste al inicio de jugar tanto tiempo seguido, ya que yo en mi mente queria seguir jugando siempre durante muchos años mas dejando todo lo demas de lado, y gracias a tu historia finalmente comprendi que es lo que deberia hacer, y sobre todo el final del video, diciendo que no te arrepientes de haber jugado al Osu! Ha hecho de que casi llorara xD saludos amigo 🤘🤘.
Some of this was a trip back to the past. I started back in 2014. I remember getting into the 20k ranks with 2kpp. Now I'm at 50k or so with 5kpp. How times have changed...
rate changes and osu trainer literally saved osu for me thanks for being a true og
Thank you for all the inspiration u gave me back in 2014 and onwards. Take care king
You're my favorite player man, I was on the verge of quitting osu because I really thought that you cannot be a top player if you don't use a tablet lol. I wish you all the best in your life man :D also if your goal before is to reach the top 100 then it will be my goal as well xDD
very cool video, always nice to see a mention of SiLviA.
as a mania player, using my hand to MOVE MY MOUSE is a fate i could never subject myself to
When I played mouse I literally looked up to u and used all ur settings/skins everything ahaha good vid king
I've been playing osu for a little over a year now and this video has made me realize that maybe I will make it to the 10 year mark. When I first joined the game, I never understood how people played this game for 5+ years, sure it's addicting but I believed that I would quit the game before 5 years, but since my first year of osu has flown by, I'm now reconsidering, I'm slowly understanding how people play this game for 5+ years and maybe I'll be one of them (God forbid).
Thank you for showing me soo many fun maps and songs, FunOrange
Only real ogs remember no pain no game live play. Dang man that quick fire tk with the blue switches and the Logitech g400 with the steel series mousepad really brings me back, I remember I bought them and used them for about 2 years. You were a huge inspiration to me when I was new to the game, still use mouse to this day!
I wanna say thank you since your candyland video got me into osu, i recently reached 4 digit now xd
you were an inspiration to me as well for playing mouse (despite playing tablet and switching back and forth) but you rsally showed me that u can be good with a mouse
RIP Lewa 😭 he will be greatly missed but always remembered as a kind and funny dude who truly was one of if not THE best accuracy player of his time, rest well space cowboy
I want to thank but not for your content or for inspiring me, but because osu! trainer is peak technology
