The osu!'s daily challenge on 2025-02-05 features a beatmap with most hitcircles in the center, focusing on reading rhythm difficulty. This was also combined with the Relax and Repel mod, the latter of which revealed a major issue in osu!lazer: Replays are unreliable with this beatmap and the Repel mod. This video demonstrates that with a recorded gameplay on the side (for https://github.com/ppy/osu/issues/31807).

See 4:38 for a section that isn't broken.

This video is just 4 videos interposed upon each other, using gameplay scaling to achieve a seamless look (except for the bottom left).

Map: https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/1531566#osu/3428141 (yes, it is 9 minutes)

Top left is provided as a view of the map without any mods. (Repel also isn't possible with Autoplay, but that's not the point)

Top right info:

Bottom left is the same as bottom right, but as a video recorded during gameplay.

Took about 6 hours to edit (30 minutes at least to record, it's 9 minutes long after all)

(there's a tiny cut at 1:47 but who cares (i accidentally quit minecraft 😛))

Hyperfruits (marked as red) are generated when the next fruit/droplet/object is impossible to reach even with dashing.

Autoplay defies the laws of osu!catch and catches all fruits. Even ones guaranteed to be impossible for players (due to lack of required hyperfruits).

Does this matter? No. I just did this little thing that applies to no one but code. Yes, Autoplay is generated through code. It's also a generated replay. Is that enough technical details?

Using the power of answer files, I was able to create an answer file to well, setup Alpine Linux pretty quickly.

yes, it is very possible, just somewhat tricky.

yeah... it actually got corrupted and it was completely unintentional.

the side effects are STRONGER when i play it in VLC, does make sense since youtube would decode the video probably slightly differently compared to VLC.
