i would spend 99 years on this island and find a way to "end my existence" just before the time comes for someone to make that choice
at that point, i've already lived what could essentially be considered a "full life" where i didn't have to suffer, and i've never had ambitions to live much longer than that, so there's absolutely no point in playing this silly game with a bunch of potentially sadistic morons for a trillion more years
when you account for things like aging, living more than a normal human lifespan isn't as desirable as most people think it is—i'm willing to bet that most people would choose to end their own lives before they even turned 200
therefore, to make this hypothetical more compelling, shorten the trillion years to just ten years, where someone is given the choice every single month, and instead of gaining simple immortality, you would get to spend that eternity in some sort of paradise, like heaven, while everyone gets cast to hell for as long as you would choose to remain in heaven
also, consider removing the option to just kill yourself—because that's still what i would choose to do in that situation, knowing that i wouldn't have anyone tortured, but that i can't trust anyone else to feel the same way, and that being dead is infinitely preferable to being tortured against my will for eternity
people don't want to live forever—they want to be happy forever, and on an island like this, there may be no suffering, but if there's no guarantee of happiness, then what makes living here any different than toiling in the normal world? there's basically no difference, so it's not a very thought-provoking hypothetical

I see nothing wrong with taking care of a cow and keeping her safe and loving her, and in return she provides you with her milk.
is that how you get your milk

Hearing the story of a civilian in the US being tried and sentenced to death by a military court is deeply disturbing, beyond any regard to the crime he committed.
that was 30 words
who gives a shit
i don't think anyone "gives a shit" that you can't follow basic instructions, per se, but that doesn't change the fact, nor does it make it any less funny to point out (only makes it funnier, really—but then you'd need a sense of humor)
okay
now you're getting it

finally picked up nier automata, excited to try it soon
Yo, I dunno if it's your cup of tea, and it's probably jarring to get into, but if you haven't played Witcher III, you should Verb. Been making my way through it slowly and it just keeps blowing me away for a lot reasons. If you like pondering morals, the game has heaping truckloads of them, plus a shit-ton of great characters and other stuff.
I'm interested in playing it some day, but I'd have to play through the first two Witcher games before I do. As far as I know, those games are only available on PC, so I don't really have the means to jump into this series right now. I'm sure it's not required for the story to start from the beginning, but it's just how I prefer to play games.

Yeah, I'd say Pyra and Mythra especially sucked because they were clearly just shill picks for Nintendo's latest shit-ass JRPG for weebs to jerk off to, but I do think that's what separates Sora from these characters—it makes all the difference to me that people (at large) actually wanted to have Sora, and went through an organically democratic process to get him there. And after we've been led to believe that Bayonetta won the Smash Ballot for all these years, it was pretty vindicating to learn that it was actually Sora who won all along.
Your issues with Mii Costumes are totally valid. I personally think they're kinda cool, because if nothing else, it's an acknowledgment. I feel worse for Crash fans, who were given absolutely nothing—not even a Spirit (even Rayman has a Spirit).

I don't like KH either, but I do recognize that it's a very big and important series that means so much to so many people, so it's genuinely difficult for me to be too down on it, especially when I personally know several diehard KH fans.
I would've felt the same if it wound up being Master Chief, because even though I've always thought Halo was trash, coming from B.net, I've come to understand just how meaningful and significant Halo really is to some people, even if it means nothing to me.
That's really the cool thing about big ambitious crossovers like this—not only is there at least one character for everyone, there are also characters that you would never touch with a 10-foot pole, and I would say that this is a positive dichotomy if all it does is make more people happy in the long run.
Not to mention, I also just think Sora fits right in with the cast, and probably could've been in the game since Smash 4 if wrangling the rights from Disney hadn't proved to be such an arduous process. That's definitely a big part of it, too—the fact that Nintendo and Sakurai had the power to finesse the rights to a character owned by DISNEY, a company so notorious for being so protective of its intellectual property—all in the name of fanservice—is an absolute triumph no matter how you look at it.
You got your Doom Slayer, at the very least. That's a character I would've been disappointed with, because I've always felt that Doom's ultraviolence wouldn't be something they'd be able to faithfully represent, and it wouldn't have "fit" the game anyway—so even if it's not what you asked for, a Mii Costume just feels like the better route IMO.

Not necessarily my favorite memory, but managing to beat the Bed of Chaos with my own creative method that I haven't seen anyone else use was pretty fun and satisfying. Like everyone else, I was having a hard time trying to avoid getting knocked into those death pits, but I figured out that I could just use the Iron Flesh pyromancy to make myself heavier. It does slow your movement, but as long as you just block all of its attacks with a Greatshield, it'll make it impossible for you to get knocked around.
Similarly, a lot of people don't seem to realize that bonewheels will not attack you if you use the Hidden Body sorcery, which I also figured out through experimentation.
Finding the Painted World on my own was also very satisfying, especially after having multiple people say that I'd never find it because of my stubborn refusal to play online.

Hey, this just begs the question.
What's objectively worse?
Cum or Jizz?
I haven't heard it used in a long time, but I feel like jizz takes the crown, if only because it sounds like the slang stoners would use.
"jizz" isn't great, but it has a couple things going for it it features two of my favorite sounds when used for "silly" words in the language (a voiced palatal approximant "J" and voiced alveolar fricative "Z"), and brings to mind words like "jolt" and "sizzle," which are words that definitely match the feelings associated with having an orgasm unlike most sexual slang terms, there's a certain biting humor to the word that brings light to the clumsy, unflattering, and animalistic nature of the male orgasm (for a perfect example of this, throw yourself back to "Jizz in My Pants" by The Lonely Island)—and that, i can somewhat get behind, but it's still not a word that i would ever find myself using I hate the word pussy. Say vagina.
"vagina" is a horrible word—women to me are in the unfortunate position of having no words for their sexual organs that don't sound either excessively dirty or excessively clinical "penis" is also fairly clinical, and i don't necessarily love how "dick" sounds, but at least it's a monosyllabic word—"vagina" possesses three of the grossest-sounding syllables in the language, and the fact that it ruins my favorite letter/sound in the process ("V") just sends me over the line in polite conversation, i generally default to "privates," which has the added benefit of being gender neutral and would you look at that? it has both a "P" and a "V" together, i literally just noticed that. that's quite nice

You are the most loathsome poster on the site I think. I pray for all of the minors being preyed upon in your groomer server on discord
not sure if you recall, but the server in question is the same one she got kicked out of permanently for (among several other reasons) impersonating me to evade a previous ban in some unhinged attempt at currying favor with the people she upset in order to allow herself back in, the outcome of which can be read here when one of the admins of that community saw what was happening and told me that she would never be on that server again some time later, spagelo ends up DMing me on discord to invite me to this very server, and i'm like "sure why not" because they do movie nights—i love movies—and it seemed like a good excuse to meet some new people with similar interests, even if they were all associated with a crazy fuck that i hate i stuck around for about a year. i wasn't the most active member on that server by any means, and i didn't get to know anyone TOO well, but i showed up to movie nights when i could, and most of the people there seemed pretty chill, and appreciated my thoughts when i did share them (except for at least one person who very obviously did not like me, which is fine, but i feel like she just had a stick up her ass constantly which soured the atmosphere at times) i had to leave last month, though, and sever all connections, because spagelo decided to go back on her word and let secondclass back on this server. NO notice, NO prior discussion, NO explanation. NO real reasoning. the fucking lunatic is just back now. "fuck what i said before, fuck what you're comfortable with, fuck the emotional distress this person has put you through—if you're not willing to forgive her, then you're just being a petulant child. this is what we're doing." it sucks, because it was a nice group of people who i was hoping to develop a stronger connection to, but if spagelo really is so fucking stupid that she doesn't understand how insulting (and scary) it is to allow someone who maliciously impersonated me to be back on that server, after specifically telling me that she would never do that, and didn't even have the fucking common courtesy to ASK us first, then i will not hesitate to burn the fuck out of that bridge, because she doesn't get to decide who i'm willing to forgive, or who i'm willing to associate with. what a fucking creep just a little bit of drama there for you, i know it's been a drought lately

probably my least favorite english word
What's your favorite
when i first learned what it was, i loved it so much that i made it my username Also describe in a bulleted list why the word "cum" is your least favorite word in the English lexicon
i actually don't know if it's my least favorite word, but it's way down there - I'm usually opposed to disliking words for their meanings, because it's not the word's fault that we've defined it that way, but I take exception to this word because I really hate thinking about semen, and that's what the word makes me think of
- General dislike of any sexual slang words (I don't have as much of a problem with "semen" because it sounds more clinical, but it's still not great—it's a rare instance of a concept that I would prefer to talk about euphemistically, if at all)
- Homophones with "come," which opens the door for a lot of obnoxious and sophomoric puns
- Homonyms with the the Latin word "cum," making it impossible to think of common terms like "cum laude," or even everyday words like "cumbersome," "cumulative," or "cucumber," without also thinking of semen (I also feel bad for anyone whose last name is "Cummings")
- Phonetically, it sounds excessively blunt and vulgar, almost as gross and unpleasant as the substance it is defined as
- General bias against any 3-letter words, especially when two of them are my least favorite letters
- "C" is the most vestigial letter in the English alphabet, needed only for the "ch-" sound (which it needs the "H" for); every other C-related noise could be replaced with "K" or "S"
- "U" is the ugliest vowel; synesthetically, I've always associated it with a pale pink hue, like a pig, and I conceptually associate it with things like stupidity and filth (disclaimer: pigs are actually rather intelligent and clean animals, but due to childhood associations, I still unfairly tend to file pigs under "filthy" and "stupid")
- "M" is a letter I don't necessarily have beef with, but it's not doing the word any favors here, because it's a soft bilabial following a harsh voiceless velar plosive, almost like the word is proud and welcoming of its own vulgarity
- Posseses no redeeming qualities; for all the things I dislike about it, I'm unable to think of anything that I do like about it, which, in itself, is another thing to dislike about it
the biggest reasons would have to be its tendency to destroy words that are phonetically adjacent to it—if someone calls to me, and i say "i'm coming," i always wince internally and brace myself for some kind of stupid cum joke, which never happens, but when it does, i can't wait to cringe at them to let them know just how unfunny and disgusting they are

You should read the manga.
The creator, Kentaro Miura, passed away this year. Assuming you watched the 1997 anime you should defs jump into the manga.
what's the point though, knowing the story will never be finished? especially knowing how much of a commitment it is same is gonna happen with ASoIaF too, and we all know it

What about cuck. That's got an awful ring to it.
Or moist.
It was very moist in the verbatim bookstore.
"moist" seems to be everyone's go-to for unpleasant words, but idk, it never really bothered me that much i honestly think "wet" might be worse cuck is pretty bad, though, with cuckold being even worse
