Can we make it so that the in-game beamaps browser in Lazer automatically selects the game mode chosen within the game itself?
the results for my owc on lazer v on stable survey i hosted like a week ago (swipe for insight, full answer sheet in post body)

tbh I'm just hoping to show some organized insight into things. i hope this reaches devs but I'm not sure at all if it will I'll be real

reddit.comCan we bring back the section pass/failed on OSU! Lazer?
Or just toggle the feature of the time remaining of the break? Like I sometimes don't want to know when the break is going to end (kinda weird ik).
But I miss the section pass/failed images, it'd be great for it to be an option on the settings.
Is this optimal?
this might be the reason my aim feels super unstable

I ranked my first beatmap with a song from my own Featured Artist listing!
Hello everyone,
I recently got announced as a featured artist, and one of my beatmaps with a song from my FA listing just got ranked :)
Keep in mind it's an osu!mania map because, fun fact, I have experience charting for another VSRG from all the way back in 2016. Furthermore, I am currently in the Community Mentorship Program for osu!mania.
I'm dabbling in standard mapping, too >!but it's hard :(!<
With this one ranked map I unlocked the medals Quick Draw and Creator's Gambit, set a new mania pp record, and I get to complete the Classified: Genre Edition quest from the Mapper's Guild all at once lol.

Moving on from osu! is my most painful thing to do with my life
I started playing osu! at 13 which was 13 years ago. After my cousin introduced to me this game and basically I get hooked very quickly.
I remember when Uan play Lemon Tree I was very impressed and asked myself "How can he aim the circles and tap it to the beat without shaking" and thought there's no way I could do it, so I switched to CTB and Taiko until 2014, after getting inspired by Cooking pre-ban replays.
Then unfortunately family issues happened, my dad got a financial crisis (he owns a lot of money from his company), my healthy mother suddenly diagnosed with gallbladder cancer and doctor just simply told me that "Your mother have 5 more months to live" and after she died, I just daily absent from school and play osu! everyday to get rid of feeling of losing her.
Eventually I had a job at working in a small restaurant (yay child-labour) and I still playing osu! for hours after my shift end, my father looked disappointed but he didn't say anything. I felt guilty but the addiction was so strong I didn't have the courage to uninstall osu!.
Then covid happened, I lost my job and played osu! again until I got a new job in a big Japanese-style sushi restaurant. At that time the 10-11 hours work, 6 days a week strained my energy to play osu! but I was still soooo attached to osu! and scrolling r/osugame until 3AM, I felt so lucky I didn't have a stroke back then.
Then in 2025 my dad had a second stroke, I started revaluing for what I did in the past years, my step-mother also died in 2023 due to stroke. So at that time I considered quitting osu! for good. But couldn't do it until now.
It feels very .....peaceful? I feel like I don't need to make a fuss, don't need to cheat a score to get my account deleted, or doing bad things to get my name stained. Just click quit, don't play it anymore and focus on my career and take care of my parent, feels like... idk, everything happened so peaceful for me.
I know my English sucks since I'm not a native speaker, but since I was deep-into the osu! community for so long (joined Reddit in 2014), got a lot of fun memories in the game and the community. So I just want to get this off my chest and I want you to know how much I love this game and I love you guys for making this game awesome (especially Peppy for keep improving this game after all these years).

I trained a model on echosu's tags so it can tag every map in your osu! library
TLDR: Scoutsu is a free Windows app that goes through your osu! Songs folder and tags every standard map by the skills it asks for: streams, slider tech, finger control, wide angles and 54 more. Then you search your own library by those tags. A model trained on community tags from echosu does the tagging, so it works on maps nobody has tagged yet.
Download Scoutsu (grab Scoutsu-Setup.exe) · source code, GPL-3.0

Scoutsu, what is it?
echosu lets you search maps by tags that people added by hand, so it covers the maps someone has tagged there. I trained a model on echosu's tags and pointed it at everything you've downloaded, tagged or not. You get echosu-style search over your own library, offline, with maps you can play right now.
Why the name?
Scout + osu. It scouts your library for the kind of map you feel like playing. (ツ)
How does it work?
The first time you open it, Scoutsu finds your Songs folder and tags every osu!standard map in it. A big library takes a while on that first scan. After that it skips maps it already tagged, and it tags new downloads as they land in your Songs folder.
It works out star rating, BPM and length for each map as well, so you can filter on those. It runs on your PC and doesn't upload anything.
How do you search?
- Tags: type tags separated by commas. Put a
-in front of a tag to exclude it, like echosu's minus operator. Every tag you type counts as required, like echosu's dot operator.streams, -jumpsgives you stream maps with no jumps. - Search box: title, artist or difficulty name.
- Sliders: stars, BPM and length. Drag a handle to the end of its bar and that side has no limit, so you can ask for 220+ BPM or maps under a minute.
- Sorting: click a column header. Shift+click to sort by more than one column.
Double-click a map and Scoutsu copies its name and switches to osu!, so you can paste it into song select with Ctrl+V. It remembers your filters and sort between launches.

In game
Alt+S shows or hides the window. It hides itself when you start a map and comes back when you return to song select.
Can this get me banned?
The one thing Scoutsu uses from osu!'s memory is whether you're in a menu or playing, so it knows when to hide. It gets that through OsuMemoryDataProvider, a library made by the author of StreamCompanion. It doesn't touch gameplay, your inputs or your replays.
osu!'s rules ban third-party tools that give you an advantage, and Scoutsu gets out of the way the moment you start a map. I can't speak for the osu! team, though. The code is public if you want to check what it reads.
For devs
- The tagging model is an ensemble of five small neural nets exported to ONNX. They run inside the app (C#/.NET), so you don't need Python installed.
- I ported the feature extraction from Python to C#, and CI fails if the two versions disagree on three test maps (a stream map, a jump map and a tech map).
- The training code is public: osu-beatmap-classifier (MIT). It pulls tags through echosu's API, the one Leggo15 opened up for devs.
Lastly
- You need Windows and osu!stable. Lazer stores maps in a different format, so Scoutsu can't read them. It tags osu!standard maps only.
- Windows will warn you with "Windows protected your PC" the first time, because I haven't paid for a code-signing certificate. Click More info, then Run anyway.
- It's a model, so some tags will be wrong. If you spot a map with bad tags, fix them on echosu, since that's the data the next version trains on. Map links in the comments help me too.
- It checks for updates when you open it, so you won't need to reinstall to get fixes.
Every tag Scoutsu knows came from people tagging maps on echosu. Thanks to Leggo15 for building it and to everyone who tags there.
