Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kurupt & Nate Dogg - Forgot About Dre / The Next Episode by The Honeysticks

buzzer beater

honeysticks u r my goat

thisis crazy

honeysticks had the craziest glow up ever bro

Being different is my dayjob

soured a lot on the em sections after playing them a little but its prob skill issue

heartwarming : one last soy map before omdb dies,,

the next episode part has so many slop jump patterns like 04:20:053 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - did u give up or smtn

01:24:615 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,1) - what

i think surely at this point u must realize honeysticks just likes mapping jumps... i mean that doesnt mean you have to like the map or think the jumps work well in it but like. theyre just having fun

the jumps play well anyway

see yeah this is what i dont get like ur allowed to dislike something but an osu map should never "offend" you what does that even mean

imma be real with u i wouldnt want to be running a rating website either if half the time people disagree with a creative decision they frame it as this visceral source of shock and disgust

she right tho

dude my supremium furnace goes so fast

i'm sorry but what did you expect from a beatmap rating website lmao

...better? i expected people to be decent to each other? if you'd like to make excuses for our community's social norms, go right ahead. i'd rather try to change them

I mean its just people giving off their opinions i dont think any ill intentioned things are being said but what do i know lol

it is so sad how plainly and clearly you can explain the problem you see with something and how it will just get driven into the ground every time. i don't get it

like i genuinely dont know how i could have made it any more clear that my problem is not with people just giving their opinions

harsh opinions are bound to be had, that said, this website is a perfect way to have an excuse to spread negativity and chock it up to just an opinion. I'm not saying its a good thing nor am i saying i havent done this before, but i now recognize its probably for the better we're losing omdb. a world where ranking maps doesnt come with worrying about what the public will think because chances are if its not farm right now nobody gonna GAF outside of omdb, which will be gone.

this is the sendoff omdb deserved, none of that sentimental shit - just pure unfiltered horrible opinions

just enjoy omdb~~

the one piece was the friends we made along the way bru

osu is a serious business 💰

yall care too much

omdb cooks negative opinions about artistic objects into meaningless dogfights at supremium furnace speed

honeysticks just has love for the game like the sheer volume in such a short time is insane we love to see it

even if i dont agree with some decisions id feel weird giving criticism here, since i like the fact that this map exists and want to encourage the mapper to make more ahha

cool to see projects like this become a regular occurence in the ranked section ^-^

app you know I never tried to defend this map's decisions or even say that it's good, I'm just trying to get you to engage with it in a constructive way. I find it destructive to be abrasive towards a mapper who I know for a fact has intentions that have nothing to do with you. I do *not* find it destructive to dislike a map. there is a clear, distinct difference between those two things.

also perhaps this is just the language barrier kicking in like you said but I never, ever tried to justify the map by calling it "creative". the phrase "creative decisions" is not positive or negative, "creative" is simply a word that describes one's artistic direction. and again, you are fully allowed to disagree with one's artistic direction in a way that recognizes that they are also allowed to have one

anyway I do think criticism is important in any community like this, I hope that isn't getting lost in my words here. I just prefer to look at maps through a lens of the purpose they *do* serve in the game, much like james just described, and I wish more people realized you can criticize a map while also having respect for that. those two things can coexist. that's all

no bro this is like level 0 excuse for being an ass. you unequivocally did not just say what you disliked about the map. there is a clear difference between -

"ugly ass overlaps" vs "overlaps I don't like"
"random ass jumps" vs "jumps i didnt like"
"fucking this <pattern>" vs. "this pattern i didn't like"

i know this is far from the worst example of toxicity but i gotta be real i am so sick of you putting people down for nothing. stop acting like you're entitled to be mean

ass song

if u really think the determining factor of whether it's ok to be rude is whether the person gets hurt then we have a problem beyond the scope of this conversation

giving it 2.5 instead of 1.5 because it made me laugh

aight fair enough

Dadadadada it's the Mothafucking d-o double g

SNOOP DOGG!!!!!

I agree with pajwoj

Thank you man I appreciate it a lot Much love brother

didn't enjoy this beatmap, but i like other beatmaps

i personally got offended by the ugly wave overlap spam along with the random ass jumps and fucking this 06:17:083 (1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3) - like the idea is cool but i think ur exaggerating especially since its a little off timing wise lmao also idk why but a lot of hitsounds are missing

hold up

i dont think the concept of a map "offending" someone is super foreign its just that app isnt afraid to say it openly

some people map to piss off people

Hello I just logged in, this is my first comment

I agree with PAJWOJ

Personally, I'd probably feel a bit more upset by a 0 with no comment than a harsh comment, but maybe that's just me, I guess neither are great but at least you have a reason. It makes it easier to judge the user as a person and their rating system; if someone is going off the rails over something I don't think is a big deal then I could easily just laugh it off. This site definitely got toxic and circlejerk-y at times, but I wouldn't want a rating site where everyone is overly polite, sterile, and not wanting to rate how they truly feel in fear of hurting the mapper's feelings, either.

deleted my last reply bc it turns out I had just misattributed something, it's all good now. I'm sorry to kind of cause a scene here, I just want people to be good to each other.

this comment section is why I will miss this website

someone host a new one asap pls

This map offended me.

Forgot About Omdb / The Next Episode

i haven't had the chance to check this out back before omdb closed down but this map (and other honeysticks maps) were my biggest influences in the past year. honeysticks handles creative lyric-focused mapping really well, and knows how to mix interesting rhythms and dynamic patterning while keeping it also fresh in the playability side

however this is where his biggest weaknesses also lie: sometimes he goes too far into the playability side and makes something disconnected from the creative side of the map. it's almost like when you see his style's highlights, you expect the map to feel entirely like that, and it becomes disappointing when you see that he's not capable to push it to the full potential and blunders with stuff like 06:15:188 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3) - . this was something i pointed out to him before his diffs on the skee-lo map and MCR nanana got ranked and he readily fixed those. so he is clearly capable of executing things in a more consistent way and i feel like maps such as the NWA ones do a much better job at doing that than this.

that being said, i disagree that the overlapping wave sliders here are a detriment to this map. i genuinely believe they are some of the most iconic patterning in this map and showcase the more melodic vocals in this mainly lyrical/rap focused song.

Love a mapper that puts patterns in the map so you can play them and have fun

Dude no fucking way you just said that hobbes that is so not what mapping is about and I disagree with you and I hate you personally because of that one comment and I will now go and rate 0 on everything you have ever done and contact your employer

lowkey please do my job is so ass 😔

I am so sorry man I hope it gets better in the future

pajwoj is right if ur map is playable its a 0/5. We need more eye candy over-the-top brainrotting sliderpilled maps that nobody is able to play - maps that make the ~good~ mappers cry out of joy. This Map Is Bad.

y'all are just swinging on the demons in your walls

that's the spirit
