discussion Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

I know you are and I appreciate it.

Come live there, she says... It's my understanding that it is not cheap to live in Japan.
You're social here just fine, I think. AND you're no weirder than anybody else on here- so you're in good company.
Something "Larger" you say? I know EXACTLY what they found, lil Lady...

Spoiler: It's BIG alright...

My Lego Collection.

Spend time with the people that are worth it. Don't waste your time on haters and dick-heads. Too many of them already.

She was a cutie and grew up to be cute. Did you ever see her in "Black Snake Moan"? Great movie.

yes Japan is not so cheap but there are many good points... Hmmm??? I just need think about it for few seconds lol
I am social but often shy unless someone like you will reply, but its still good fun and people here are nice. crazy like me and you but nice lol
No I never seen much about her after Adams family sadly but she has had so far great career from what I read about her.

Ouch, replacing platters is not cheap or easy. They have do that in a clean room, because even the tiniest speck of dust could ruin sectors of a drive. They they have to put them in another drive a platter at time and retrieve data and if you FAT is corrupted- you're done. It's just going to be a garbled mess of rubbish.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's all over IF an SSD fails- hopefully they last longer than one with moving parts though. If you drop it...it should still work. An actually HD even if there's no power and you drop it... 70/30 you're done.

this is true. My friend actually changed his on himself and it worked but yes, needs to be very careful and yes, it can all get corrupted and just trash. This why I smash them, except that one that I told them I need the data, payed lot of cash but the data was recovered thank goodness, but others I just destroyed so no one can ever even reassemble them. The hammer did a great work lol
I think so too. I was told if SSD fails then it is completely finished and if anything is there too bad, but they hardly will ever break under normal use. No moving parts is helpful

Well, I hope your stuff doesn't burn up- photos and heirlooms are nice, but sometimes there's just some stuff that means a lot to you- like your Hello Kitty plushie. No one else will or could ever love it as much as you do- it only holds sentimental value for you.
IKR? If my parents had paid more attention to me- I wouldn't have ended up here...

me too, and yes, family passed down things are just memories but also in my family case certain things seems to mean a lot to them to remember the ancestors bla bla but when I died I don't care. Whoever get them can do as they wish. s for my hello Kitty. That old thing needs to be put inside trash can after I died. it is just my child toy and certainly no one should even care. Im not worried about stuff, but it helps much better than watching blank walls with only the floor as company hahaha
Yeah, sadly, some people got it hard in life but you seem very nice and can't change what parents do or did. My life was very hard but iu just don't think about it if I can. Just think of now and such. BTW if you didnt end up here then you will not meet so many fun people lol

Oh, there's violent people everywhere- we just seem to get more that other places. Thanks Lady Liberty.
We used to be, but a lot of things have separated the Country over major things and trivial bull-shit. As Abraham Lincoln once said, "A house divided cannot stand." That's kinda where we are now- nobody can agree...nothing gets accomplished. IF you can't get anything done, what is there to be proud of anyway?

Hollywood has become formulaic and predictable. If it already sold- let's sell it to them again. That's how they think.

yeah i seen news how bad some place in USA is now. Hopefully it will change for you guys soon.
well, be proud of being yourself, and be proud of your own success in your own life. This is worth it all to know you achieve self improvement... Ok, my Yoda message must stop now haha

Hollywood bla bla is what I call most of it. Just bling bling with no ding ding hahahah

Let me just cherry pick all the insults out of your comment...
"Dino juristic tech", grampa tech, ancient tech stuff, old, and Jurassic." Really wanna become my friend, don't you?
IRQ = was an "Interrupt Request" back when PC's had to "share" what you could and couldn't do at the same time.
DMA = was "Direct Memory Access" and was more like a timeshare for when and where data would go.
Back in the "OLD" days you had to fiddle with those 2 for hours. You want a mouse OR a keyboard? Do you want sound AND a mouse? Do you want the Master or Slave drive to be operational? You kinda just had to pick and mix until you got everything to work... GOD forbid if you wanted something other than the onboard GPU or the sound from the motherboard. I remember trying to get a SoundBlaster32 and a Radeon Video card to work for close to 3 hours (AND you had to change jumpers on your motherboard for different voltages for add-ons). Just to play "X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter." Oh happy days.

I won't "execute" you- letting you live in fear and anticipation is so much more satisfying...

cherry pick...

As for insults... I am more than happy to provide. it is something I am good at haha

"Dino juristic tech", grampa tech, ancient tech stuff, old, and Jurassic." Really wanna become my friend, don't you? Do I? Do I really wana become friends? Ewwww so gross... I am going to be sick. A loveless, friendless life is much more fin for an evil creature that hunts humans for blood...

IRQ = was an "Interrupt Request" back when PC's had to "share" what you could and couldn't do at the same time.
I see. I probably understand now (yes i do lol)

DMA = was "Direct Memory Access" and was more like a timeshare for when and where data would go.
Thanks for this.

That sounds like trouble. Is that in the days where the max HDD size was about 250GB and there was floppy disk drive with Pentium 3 chip? I heard about these kinds of old tech.

I won't "execute" you- letting you live in fear and anticipation is so much more satisfying...

Now you are begin to think how i do. Let the suckers live in self torture and all this. Much more fun than fast execution.

Spoiler: KURGAN

The question that rises if you need to project yourself in any piece of fiction you consume to be able to enjoy it. Any movie, any book, probably not. Why porn should be different? It's perfectly possible to be enjoying something without the appeal to be doing what you are watching. Let's say a lesbian scene if you are a male, doesn't it turn on? Are you projection yourself in one of the women? I don't do that, I just enjoy it because it's sexy and I don't want to interfere on what they are doing.

Spoiler: KIKOMASCADO

100% this. It's okay if you self insert, but wanting every game to be a facesless male MC without a default name that are a chick magnet because you want to live that life is kinda dumb. (Not saying that everyone that likes self inserting is that way, but unfortunately I've seem some that were...)

Grouping both of you since the answer is the same for both posts.

Do I have to project myself into fiction to enjoy it? Absolutely.
It's tough going since I prefer villains to win in mainstream stories. I couldn't give a fuck about almost any heroes. It's similar with porn.

And about wanting every game to be a meet and fuck harem? No. Of course not.
Wanting every game that ---> I <--- play to be a meet and fuck harem? Fuckin' right it is.

Now, do a test. Substitute "game" with "food". Now go and tell other people how to eat their food. That's wrong on BOTH sides.
Now if you check my post history, for example, I HATE NTR. I ALSO said that I hope there's a lot of good humiliating NTR games out there for other people.
Don't fuckin' ever expect ME to try those games.

And yeah, I get really fucking defensive with any post that say (paraphrased) "You shouldn't enjoy that." Apologies if I crossed the line.
I also crossed the line in my youth when people took or added stuff to my plate. The board rules prevent me from giving details of my response back then.

 

[kurgan]

Once you are presented with choice then you have to play as yourself or roleplaying the MC.

The issue here is many games that give the choice to rename the MC then fucking show the MC face in almost every single frame, making hard, at least for me, to project myself there. For example Vinovella games. I'm not saying the MC should be faceless, but at least don't abuse of overexposure.

 

[kikomascado]

We were actually talking about regular porn. In games I like the "faceless MC", but there are some that I like that there is no way I feel identified with the MC or any of the other character on them.

Oh, sorry. This thread has so many replies that I don't read it all. Hahaha
I like watching it all as observer, it's the reason I was always bothered by silent protagonists, that won't have any trace of personality, common in RPGs and such.

I think as well if the protaganist is presented with choice then you as the reader/player get self inserted into the story. Otherwise without choice you can view the storyline as an observer. Once you are presented with choice then you have to play as yourself or roleplaying the MC.

My choices are always a mix of "what I want" and "what the character would do". Depends on how I'm feeling it.

Yeah, my point is how people are hostile with game that don't meet their criteria. I've seen countless of female MC games that have a lot of people complaining in the replies.
Since you compared it to food, for me it's like going all the way to a vegan restaurant and telling them they sould serve meat because of what you like... (And I do like meat a fucking lot, but let people have different things!)

No worries here XD I was just exposing my POV, not enforcing people to agree with it.

This thread is like trying to read the Lord of the Rings in a single day!

I hate games that force you to name the MC. Time and time again I had to edit a save because another character appeared and had the exact same name as me, and it made it confusing as hell.
If the game is in first person, I don't mind it that much if the MC's face isn't shown, but I do preffer third person. PoV porn never attracted me all that much.
Ideally, every game could have both options, but that would double the render time and give the devs a perfect excuse to milk people even more!

This thread is like trying to read the Lord of the Rings in a single day!

Kinda off-topic, but I consider myself "nerdy", and yet I've never read nor watched LotR... I did read Hobbit, but didn't like it, so I kinda didn't feel like reading more Tolkien.

You are kuro_katana, the hooded ninja, who want's to make it to the highest reactions score ever!
Look into your old self eyes, and realise the truth!

Yeah. I'm totally with you there.

I mean, to keep with my NTR example: There's an NTR tag. The game called (making it up) "None of my wife's kids are mine!". And some people complain that the game has NTR.

Like... WTF... man? I'm French. English is my second language.... and *I* know to avoid that game.

Again, totally on board with what you're saying.

 

[Monokuma]

I haven't been here all weekend...
So, if anyone could catch me up... That would be great.
Is @-Bonk- back to normal? What about @Evil Surgeon?
Is @Slumdum still a duck?
Is @algeo a lovable racoon again?

Yes, yes, no, yes, those are the answers you're looking for

I loved the Hobbit, but I was quite young when I read it, maybe 11 or so. Then I tried the LOTR but it was too much, I had to wait until my 14 yo to try it again. So do you read any other fantasy authors?

 

[LUVGAMZ23]

I usually don't get involved in this inter-member banter... but NO!

Having read MANY posts...

...what Slumdum considers what "buttering up" means... and what most of us do... is likely WILDLY different:

Hobbit and LoTR can be tough because they get built up so much that its hard to live up to the expectation.

Did the same with the Hobbit around the same age. Never tried LOTR but did smash the Game of Thrones books when the hype was at its peak.

Yeah, I can agree when the game suddenly shifts direction, but sometimes the clearly states what is planned and people are still mad about it...

I was in highschool, almost 18. Maybe that's why? I've heard people say that Hobbit, unlike Tolkien's other works, are a children' book. I remember didn't liking the narrator, but not much more.
To be honest, the only time I truly read books was that same period, because I had a crush on a bookworm girl.
Aside from that, I've only read some small book from a local author. But I don't have anything against it. I've liked some fantasy shows and whatnot.

Hello, everyone,
How are you doing at the beginning of the week?

Hello, everyone,
How are you doing at the beginning of the week?

Good. I'm enjoying the last of my vacations days of work. Not having to wake up early is sooo good.
That said, I'll sleep now that it's almost sunrise here.
Good night/morning for you all, folks!

Again, totally on board with what you're saying.

What I also find funny is that a game could be titled 'I'm the only man in the world and all the women want me and no one else' and there'd be a post

'Is there any NTR? Because I avoid all games with NTR.'
