I feel like the amount of weeaboos and furries and weirdos would only naturally scare a lot of people off.

Fuck no.

Why not?

I'm straight-edge, and there's far more intelligent and productive ways to let loose.

Well, my parents were kinda hipsters back in the day, because when I started playing games, it was around the new millenium, and instead of playing PlayStation or Nintendo 64 like the cool kids, my dad had his NES and SNES for us to play. Oh gosh, these were the days. I can't remember the first game I've ever played, but Super Mario Bros. had to have been one of them. I sucked at these games, but I had so much fun.

Occasionally, my uncle would come over to play his Dreamcast and his Sega Saturn. He mostly owned a bunch of odd fighting games like Battle Arena Toshinden and Virtua Fighter. These were some of my favorites to play, and right now, the fighting genre is my favorite genre of all time.

We finally caved and got a PS2 at some point. For me, the leap between 8-bit graphics and the PS2's processing power at the time was absolutely mind-blowing. The first game we played on PS2 was Spider-Man, the one based off the first Sam Raimi film.

It was after this point that my dad and I sought to collect pretty much every video game console, except for the Xbox, because the Xbox sucks. Even today I still hate the Xbox, and though, funnily enough, my dad bought us a modded Xbox with a bunch of old 8-bit and 16-bit ROMs loaded onto it, I don't see myself ever owning an Xbox One.

But we do have basically everything else. Commodore 64, Intellivision, Colecovision, the Vectrex, the Color TV Game, both Odysseys, Atari 7800, you name it. Not to mention all the handhelds.

Also, fuck PC gaming.

I wish I was anosmic.

Advantages?

Not being able to smell.

I don't know, I think that's advantageous in it and of itself. I won't even eat food because of the way it offends my nose at times. I could do without taste, too. It would be a lot easier to maintain veganism, because even if it happens to smell good, that probably just means it's really unhealthy for you.

Needs more Verbatim.

I never understood the appeal of skating games. All you really do is dick around, which gets old after like... ten minutes. Or am I missing something?

I wish we did something like this back in Coup...

>moving out immediately after high school

Fuck that shit.

Oh my God, he's watching Family Guy reruns from 2009.

While high, more than likely.

Serious stuff is the best stuff.

I have no idea what this is.

...Do you even eat cereal?

You know, I was actually told that threads like this were against the rules now?

I was lied to.

You need to say less.

I cut myself on your edge. Kill yourself, Queer.

I love how you edited your post just to add "queer". That's great.

I like your avatar, guy. Porygon is my favorite Pokémon.

Does it matter? It takes years for most people to develop a solid style, and even then there's people that don't like to restrict themselves to one style of drawing. Experimentation is actually pretty fun.

I... just can't sympathize. Fundamentally different outlook. I think experimentation is mostly sloppy and wasteful. Like, I'm a writer, and if I lose contact with my established style that I've hung on to for the last couple years, I start losing grip of it and I have to almost re-develop it. It's hard to explain. I'm a guy who likes to find his niche and then do that, forever. Trying to find multiple niches is dangerous and, mostly, futile. From my experience.
