Can we talk about spinners?

    Spinners are the most degenerate thing I have ever witnessed in a so-called "rhythm" game. I'm not exaggerating when I say they literally ruin osu. Imagine if Guitar Hero had you randomly grab the guitar by the neck and start shaking it around as fast as possible before you start playing chords again. Yeah, it would be fucking stupid. Now imagine that there's an obstacle in osu where you need to shake your mouse faster than humanly possible just to get a clear and then click on the next circle within fractions of a second. That would also be fucking stupid. But that's where we end up when a shitty DS game gets ported to a completely different platform with no alterations to make it actually playable. The fucking theme song even says "click the circles.... to the beat" not "click the circles after having a seizure and not knowing where your mouse cursor is." Oh, or I could turn on autospin and lose 10% of my pp to fix a glaring design flaw in the game. I will never play a beatmap with a spinner in it ever unless the devs stop idolizing the "perfect Japanese game design" and remove spinners entirely.
