Someday I want to be as manipulative as optimism. I'd make a killing.

No matter if you read the books or watch the show, you know what this means.
If you don't, the door is on the top left.
So I saw this thing called the "Reply button" at that spot. Oh... I get it... I think.

When I was 10 I had an associate who introduced me to many wonderful things like porn and alcohol. Well, we never got our hands on much alcohol so I never was inebriated enough beyond a slight (not really) buzz, but I was always curious about how much liquor I could hold.
When I was 17 a unique opportunity arose. I was at my friends' house (different people) and their mother had just thrown a house party. Their fridge was stocked with more alcohol than food and I remembered my curiosity about the sensation of being drunk, so I experimented. I drank until I started feeling really tall and not entirely capable of motor function. Unfortunately, this was a poor decision. I soon fell sick and spent five memorable hours by my friends' toilet, feeling like my bowels were liquefying and throwing up my lungs.
I haven't desired being wasted since.
I calculated my rough BAC and it was likely around .2
have you drank since then?
I have. There was a night when I was having a sleepover with a different group of friends and they wanted to watch the Sword Art Online movie. Though I don't like liquor, I proposed a drinking game to alleviate the pain of ocular cancer (I don't remember what it was, I just remember that it tasted like rubber farts). Eventually I just guzzled the remaining 1/5th in an attempt to save myself from the situation, but I didn't feel a thing unfortunately. Then we read excerpts from the light novel chapter where Kirito rapes Asuna.
That was disgusting.
I need to watch some anime sometime
I've only seen baccano
What did you like most about Baccano?

You fight an OP rancor ripoff as the space station careens on a crash course with a planet, then a wild series trope appears and deus-ex machinas the shit out of you. After destroying the rancor with frost-mage kiting you fly away on your ship full of space furries and your robot husbando.

I was going to be a ghostly storytelling sweets merchant with a kitsune mask, but I think that's probably not happening anymore.

wait what
I split the topic off so that there could be a jojo thread without kind of derailing verb's original topic further >_>
Topic subthreads when?
I mean, it's not a bad idea per se but the whole b.lind thing left a bit of a sour taste for people when it comes to that sort of thing.
Thats not a legitimate reason imo, but I'm also not bitter towards B.net so I don't get the sentiment.

anyone who likes Sword Art Online should be incarcerated in Guantanimo Bay
Especially if they like chapter 16.5 of the light novel.

Oh yeah, the OG Legend of Zelda.
I never found the seventh temple and I refused to use guides.
I found the 8th temple though... And couldn't do jack shit in it.
I scrubbed that map over a few times and didn't find it.

Philosophically I'm closest to him (maybe). The concept of Übermensch is essentially my current existential framework... at least from my understanding of a relational excerpt I read and said, "holy shit, someone else thinks like this. Neat"
I found your pants
I actually dress semiprofessionally. Those pants are just obnoxious. But if you want to get me an early Christmas present I won't complain.

Describe your perfect day
I almost forgot about this.
I've never really though about this before, so it's kind of strange.
Maybe something like this. I wake up from a night of lucid dreaming and I record my new notes via voice recorder and consolidate some general notes about lucidity and hypnagogic experiences. Something substantial enough to think about throughout the day so I can test it when I go to sleep.
Then I study/plan for personal projects until I'm really hungry. Cook a meal with perfect awareness of where I put things, timing dishes, and prep work. Eat the meal and think about future improvements, then get back to work. Write my story until lunch, prepare another meal like breakfast, take a 90 minute nap, then head out.
Go up into the mountains for a hike (hopefully they're misty) and meditate on personal inhibitions and fears for at least an hour. Do more planning up in the mountains and enjoy the scenery. Go back down and read whatever text interests me and make focused textual notes. Make dinner like lunch and breakfast and think about what I'm going to try to test in my dreams that night. Consolidate that information into writing and catalogue it. Continue general planning/study work until sleepy, then go to sleep.
Also important: Ideally, no one would disturb me throughout the day.
Nice. Lucid dreaming has always interested me.
It's something more people should look into, for sure. For me, it provides a possible mechanism for having more "aha!" Moments in all of my activities.

I'd probably only get a tattoo in the personal code I use to consolidate information... And only for something really important that I couldn't keep records of elsewhere.

and they wanted to watch the Sword Art Online movie.
there's a movie?
It's less of a movie and more of a series recap with a fan service subplot.

Yoshi's Island- I was getting through it just fine, but I gave my handheld to a friend for safekeeping during the semester so I didn't ignore my school work.
I actually beat this game with my sister when I was a kid. That was our one little moment, I guess.
Battle for Bikini Bottom was that game for me and my sister. I don't know why, but that reminds me... recently one my friends and I replayed Metroid Pime and we copiloted the controller. It was surprisingly great.

The SA-X from Metroid: Fusion is this terrifying presence you know is lurking around the BSL station. It gives you player incentive to better yourself by collecting upgrades and contemplate Samus' agency in the series.
Those footsteps were the thing of nightmares
The SA-X taught me that monsters didn't have to be horrendously disfigured to be frightening.
This was also a good reveal of it because players learn how powerful it is and that it looks human but just not enough to be horrifying... It captures the ambiguity of the uncanny valley, I think.
And just thinking of those footsteps makes my heart race a little.
I always found that things that are monsters but look VERY human (or lifelike) but have just enough differences to notice they're not, are scary to me.
It's why I find lifelike dolls so unsettling. The fact things can look human and we see and identify it, but then realize it's "off" and doesn't have life to it, is what makes it unnerving I think.
Have you seen "Another?" It has more creepy dolls than you can shake a cross at.
That anime is literally "How to kill 101". It's a shitty anime apparently, and the broad consensus on places like my anime list also say that.
I'll not give it a watch when I have other stuff I need to get to anyway.
I enjoyed the middle of it when all of the mysterious deaths happened. The pacing was really uneven and the ending was just so ridiculously stupid I was slightly amazed.
Isn't the ending just one of them constantly stabbing another? I mean, the animation looks lovely but uhh... yeah.
Well one of my other issues with it was that it wasn't very memorable past the umbrella windpipe impaling scene. Spoiler I remember being pretty astonished by... Rei's (?) lack of self-preservation as the other girl tries to deliberately kill her. It was absurd. I have very little sympathy for characters who clearly perceive present danger and don't do anything about it.

Why am I still awake?
Because you're trying to put off sleep before a midterm tomorrow.
Which is dumb and you should be ashamed.
ARE YOU SECONDCLASS?
DIDN'T THINK SO
I'll be anything for the right price.
