Confessions

[8BitNinja]

I thought it was okay, but I liked Log Horizon much much more.

I personally didn't like Log Horizon

[~Corvus~]

I recently had an idea to move across the world. This both scares and interests me.

[DracoknightZero]

When it comes to anime:
I found "Death Note" dreadfully boring and uninteresting.

I liked Sword Art Online, but i like the two different archs for different reasons: First part was more of introduction to the setting and then it continued as a love story which i actually found rather touching. The best part of the 2nd arch was just how much hate the villian generated, its a pity Asuna was tossed on the backseat as a "princess to be rescued" but man that villian was truly a man to detest!

Log Horizon was alright, though i think i dropped off somewhere halfway the 2nd season, i guess i felt it was slowing down to a crawl as it split its focus on too many sub-plots at once or something.

Another confession...i have this weird..."avoidance" to things people tell me to watch. I had people beg me to watch Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones and a lot of other series and books... but in the end, i just dont want to because of their constant bickering.

In recent weeks I have had the theme song to Baywatch stuck in my head, for no apparent reason.

And I learned that it's sung by the guy from Survivor (the band that did "Eye of the Tiger"), which I never knew before but can totally hear now that I know.

A month or so ago i had the mental image of water pouring out of an electrical socket stuck in my head for at least a full day. Not sure where it came from, a dream i think. Needless to say i had to google the image a few times just to sate the urge. Seeing water pouring out of an electrical outlet is safe to say, pretty unnerving.

That may be a hint that you're a bit of a Contrarian, you don't like things other people love and go out of your way to avoid them. It's not a bad thing really, i never got into things like R-doubleyou-bee and Undertale because other people loved them so much that it just got irritating after awhile.

Its not even a "I dont like what other people like" its more of a case that i just lose interest as i get bickered into it... in other words they have to actively and repeatively ask me to watch this thing... but yeah, i guess i am.
( On the case of Undertale, i found it touching, but not miracle-bound answer to everything wrong in gaming. Its a okay executed commentary and parody of RPGs )

I honestly had no problem with Asuna being a damsel in distress (hate me all you want). In a way, it finalized the shift between Kirito's original goal, which was mainly just stay alive and stay away from others so they don't die, and actively protecting Asuna. Sure, Asuna's l33t MMO skills were gone in the second arc, but it was able to give Kirito not only a starting motivation, but it also made him a hero.

That's just my opinion though.

[Bartmanhomer]

I never hiccup in my entire life.

[~Corvus~]

As a youngster, I would sometimes swallow air so I could burp more often, because I thought burping at school breaks was cool.

[Bartmanhomer]

I'm a Drow.

[rooster707]

I grow less and less certain Bartmanhomer is human with every post he makes.

[Aedilred]

I grow less and less certain Bartmanhomer is human with every post he makes.

I don't know if you're referring to content or to style, or both, but I have frequently found myself wondering the same thing. Something in his posting manner seems very bot-like, notwithstanding whatever he says, which is often pretty bizarre in itself. I continue to give him the benefit of the doubt, but remain suspicious.

[8BitNinja]

I used to believe rumors about certain video game cartridges being more sinister than face value and filled with dark horrors the programmers secretly put in. Of course, that was when I was ten.

It's still embarrassing.

[Bartmanhomer]

I never sleep in my entire life.

[8BitNinja]

I've never seen The Godfather

[Vizzerdrix]

I havent had sex on almost 20 years.

[~Corvus~]

I havent had sex on almost 20 years.

The first 16 of your life shouldn't count, but that's a long as heck time.

[Bartmanhomer]

I havent had sex on almost 20 years.

Too much information. LOL!

[2D8HP]

First,
Some Responses:

I would think a bot would seem more believable.

I never sleep in my entire life.

See?

I havent had sex on almost 20 years.

Almost?
Stop bragging Romeo. .


Now
Some Confessions:

I have never spoken, but have only written these.phrases:

tragic backstory

explore inner turmoil

competitive soliloquies

anti-awesome monstrosity

However I do say, almost daily:
"Another mystery. How I hate mysteries", and "What fresh Hell is it now?"


I was tempted to stop posting, and "quit while I'm ahead", after reading:

I completely agree. by the way I hope you've found a good game to take part in after your long-awaited return to RPGs

But then I saw this:

You get three types of people in forums:

1. People looking straight up for information.
2. People interested in debating the finer points of policy and theory.
3. People who just like to argue.

And I'm back, because I fall into each of those categories, and more:

In going over my own posts to this Forum, I'd say they mostly fall into these categories:

1) Inquires: "How does this rule work?",
"What's a good novel?".

2) Rants: "Bah! All these new rules are too complex dagnabbit!".

3) Praise: "These easy new rules are AWESOME!", "That novel was BADASS!".

4): Contrition: "Sorry I about ragging on the rules".

5) Gratitude: "Thanks for explaining the rules to me".

6) Lessons: "Don't preview when you use the dice roller function".

7) Support: "The dice roller was hard for me to learn too. Don't be down on yourself.

8) Jokes: "In notRussia Dungeon Explores YOU!"

9) Bloviating: "As Gygax wrote in 1976....", "In Chaucer's the Canterbury Tales" (these seem to be the posts that other playgrounders actually like. Hooray for me!)

and

10) Random pop culture references from the 1970's and 80's: "A shrubbery". "Khaaaaaan!"

I think that's most of them.

As to the thread topic:

5e D&D is needlessly and frustratingly complex with all its player options up until the time that I can actually manage to remember them, after which point the options become awesome.
Your welcome.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving day!
"By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Worvan, you shall be avenged!"
"Demon Dogs!"
"What is best in life?
"This goes to eleven".
"What about you centurion, do you think there's anything funny?"
"When do we get there?"
"Real soon!"

I cried to family-oriented animation movies.

Some people don't?
I cry to most movies.

[Lethologica]

That one was particularly deep in "beep boop I am not a robot" territory.

Has anyone not cried during Lion King?

About Bartmanhomer being a bot, I'm pretty sure he is an AI whose home is this forum. Rich Burlew made him as an experiment and he is secretly a moderator who is constantly spying on us.

[Winter_Wolf]

Has anyone not cried during Lion King?.

I think we might have watched wildly different cuts of Lion King if you did cry during it.

Maybe be it was your generation's Bambi or Old Yeller or something.

[~Corvus~]

I got scared of Sid from Toy Story as a kid.

[8BitNinja]

Honestly, I never cried through any of these movies. Growing up in a hunting family and being a hunter myself, I always sort of saw Bambi's mom being killed as justifiable (hate me if you want). As for Old Yeller, I didn't cry at the end either, even though my family recently went through putting a dog down when I first saw it.

As for Lion King, I never saw why people cried when watching it. I guess it's a widespread joke(?)

But I guess my confession is that a movie never made me cry.

Okay, maybe the new Ghostbusters and Independence Day did, but that was for entirely different reasons.

[Knaight]

Some people don't?

I'm not going to say that I never have (my memory just isn't good enough to be confident there), but it certainly isn't routine.

[8BitNinja]

Despite people telling me otherwise, I don't believe I'm attractive.

[2D8HP]

Despite people telling me otherwise, I don't believe I'm attractive.

If your a male seeking female the odds are that you are not.

IIRC there was a post at one of theRelationship Woes and Advice threads that mentioned that women looking at images on dating sites, judged a much lower percentage of men as being above averagely attractive, than did men looking at images of women on the same sites. So if you want to be a man who's attractive to women, online probably won't work, you need to do it in real life, not online. Here's how.
Be tall.
Be shaped right (broad shoulders, slim waist, "V" shaped).
Young looking face.
Grey hair.
Dance well.
A good personality helps.
But really, being tall is probably the most important for catching a lady's eye, and you can't change that.

For a women trying to attract a man's eye it's:
A young looking face.
Being shaped right ("hourglass").
Looking happy.

That's about it, and as I wrote this I've gotten a little sad at how shallow the list is.



Good luck.

[Vinyadan]

I just found that "Gret tits!" isn't just a way to make a girl happy, it's actually a bird's name.

[Eldariel]

Don't know about the post but this is the article.
