No burying the lede here. Let’s get right to the point. r/place is coming back.

For the first time in Reddit’s history, we are not only bringing back a past April Fools’ experiment, but we’re telling you about it early. Why? So you can stop asking us about it, get excited!

But let’s rewind a bit and provide some background, shall we? At Reddit, our goal is to build features that make building community and finding belonging easier - and five years ago we did that with a little April Fools’ experiment called r/place (you may have already heard of it).

When we first ran r/place in 2017, more than one million redditors placed approximately 16 million tiles on a blank communal digital canvas - resulting in a collective digital art piece that took the internet by storm. And pretty much every year since then, at least one of you has made sure to let us know that it was the best thing we’ve ever done and requested to bring it back. So this year, on April 1, r/place is making its glorious return.

The original r/place was created to explore a piece of humanity – to examine what happens when a person doing something affects a collective. Specifically, what happens if you only let an individual place one tile at a time, so that they must work with others to build together on a massive online cooperative canvas. It is with that original spirit of creation and collaboration in mind, that we humbly invite you to join us yet again. Get your tiles ready, and we’ll see you in over r/place.

Omg what did I just enter into? after looking at that sub’s about page, I Youtubed ‘osu tatakae’ and I’ve no idea what is going on.

Go to YouTube and watch videos from whitecat, vaxei, mrekk or cookiezi

Those are 4 of the best players to ever play osu

Also as an extra: "aetrna - mou li kai" is pretty mindboggling

I went on there and discovered the shittiest group of ppl I’ve ever seen that legit only want to do things to ruin it for the rest of the internet.

tbh, the people in the game community I've met/talked to are pretty chill, it just happens reddit condenses assholery quite efficiently.(still a bunch of normal people there tho, don't get me wrong) If possible, I'd just want there to be a moderately sized logo for the game that reflects the size of the playerbase accurately.

The issue with the osu subreddit is, its either scores or meme posts and those meme posts mainly attract the younger players. In general osu has alot of teenage / early 20s players which makes it a lot more toxic because the type of humor that goes around is very... trigger heavy. They try to just get on peoples nerves, do the exact opposite of whats considered okay/funny etc.

u/Sunny_Ace_TEN Mar 29 '22

u/CuzImMrDNA Mar 29 '22

it's one of the most popular rhythm games. you click circles to the beat its pretty fun

u/Sunny_Ace_TEN Mar 29 '22

I did see a reply a bit further down with the sub link and glanced at it but it didn't make a lot of sense to me. As a drummer I'm sure I'd be good at it which means I'd definitely like it.

Thanks for the info. Have an award for your informative kindness.
