Well, I built my first gaming computer maybe 5-6 years before this incident, so I had some experience. I just don’t have great hand-eye coordination and have to compensate with strategy in most games, and OSU! limits the degree to which you can do that pretty heavily.

A friend of mine got really into OSU! and got me to try it. When I complained about the difficulty, he reassured me “Everyone has a hard time when they start out, let me see you play.” When I showed him, he said “Oh, man, I was never this bad. Maybe this game isn’t for you.”

Compared to the Xbox 360 I was just working on? It might as well be a plain rock. If you try microsoldering with a straight-to-mains soldering iron, you’re going to end up with a scorched board at best and an electrical fire at worst.
