It's also been over a year since I came back to the site and I really should get back to the good days of September-December. I shouldn't be bothering with trying to improve the site anymore as it only causes my rep to be even worse.

I am not a bad person as many imply but I have yet to prove myself as capable.

Do you have anything better to do than waste your time worrying about your reputation on this site and be dramatic about everything?

Mr. Rereg/Lurker, I do.

I am 'dramatic' about 'everything' because I have fucked myself over on this site and want to do the right thing by becoming a better person. When I fail to do so, i'm not happy with it and have a hard time snapping out of it. Now stop being here just to be salty, please and thank you.

EDIT: Oh ok bye
It's news to me if you have a poor reputation, I always thought you were a pretty decent user. I wouldn't worry about it.

Also Johnathan/NT if you're reading this I hope you realize that making posts/threads/reregs like that isn't exactly helping the "drama" problem around here.
Twitter
The handomest people in the world are ones who follow my Twitch
Yeah ignore that post. It was just made to stir up crap and shouldn't be taken seriously at all.
Honestly Latios, I don't disagree with you, there are quite a few of us who have messed up around here and want to make up. Only human beings will be able to remotely comprehend what you're talking about.

I probably don't talk to the same people you do, but you've always seemed like a decent user. A little self-paranoid(?) or pessimistic, but not at all a bad user, you just got shit going on in your life is all. I can't really think of anybody who isn't at all concerned about what others think about them.

Yes, I think the problem was that I was consistently on the Discord thinking i'd fit in with the memery on there, and I really didn't at all. I now realise people don't hate me personally (mostly...), it's just the different communicative capabillities that make it hard for me to properly 'hang out', causing controversy with the 'chill' people on here.

I might as well talk about my life currently and I must say it's becoming a whole lot better. I'm close to getting my first job, have left the hellhole that is my class/will be entering a class better for people with autism and most important of all, will be speaking to a pschology thingy McDoodle soon to help with the anxiety i've built up over the last couple of years.

Here's to some good times!
Cheers~! #smw{:TUP:} Hope you'll continue to be fine.

In other news, I started watching Love Live today. (I had it sitting on my hard drive since last year or so, and though I'm not as enthusiastic towards it as I was then, I thought I'd finally give it a try.)

My thoughts after episode 1 are "how will they manage to combine stardom and schoolwork?" (or how *do* they in real life?) and "oh man, that seems like such a waste, I hope that won't steer them away from the actual useful career paths they had, like, uh, being a doctor".
I guess I'm getting too old for this kind of anime?


 
I do admit that the older I get, the more I question stuff I see in Anime, though most of the time, I just question it "ironically", which means that I either don't really care about the answer or already know the answer, anyways (90% of the time, chances are the answer is either "they didn't care" or "they didn't think about it"). For example, when watching Detective Conan, I'm thinking to myself "Why do they still travel via ships? 99% of the time when they do, they just end up being stuck with a killer".
Feel free to visit my website/blog - it's updated rarely, but it looks pretty cool!
that reminds me I have yet to properly sit through Love Live myself lol; I was kinda turned off already because of some quirks I had with the animation (like everyone from LL literally having the same face design AFAIK, and also the fact that the animators really can't animate most of the characters from far away without the end result looking memeish AF), but I just stopped watching it when Season 1 almost ended
because of Kotori having to leave the team, everyone was getting depressed, Honoka disbands Muse because of it, and then suddenly Kotori decides to join back when she was technically forced by her mom to leave, and it wasn't a thing she could really avoid, aaand that honestly was so WTF that I just had to drop this thing
, so I haven't watched it since

people say Season 2 is really good tho, so I guess it should be worth it enough to go back to it for that, I dunno lol

also don't look at the spoiler if you didn't get to that part; just sayian

Emotional drama, huh? Even if it's the silly kind, I tend to get way too invested in the most banal plots. Hope at the end my only concern will be if Maki still gets to be a doctor or not. #tb{''}

Also yeah, those faces are nearly indistinguishable. Getting the names right almost feels like studying for a quiz.


 
Sooo... umm, random question unrelated to whatever you guys were talking about before. Which of these sites do you go on (if any)?:
* Tumblr
* Reddit
* 4chan (or 8chan)
* Twitter

Hi.
i follow like exactly one blog on tumblr lol. as for the rest, i use twitter frequently and i'm picking up reddit. only on a few subs thus far but what i've experienced is that reddit is honestly the most civilized place i've ever been on the internet (except for MAYBE r/ddlc)

i mean this site's pretty good too don't get me wrong. just those were my impressions
Got a bit of variety going on there. #tb{:D} I think it's a good mix.

As for DDLC, I guess its popularity doesn't do it any favors.

Hi.
I'm only in the Pokemon subreddit rn, and even then it was only to get to it's Discord server and to fucking do nothing there lol

I'm honestly surprised. I thought you would use more platforms. I guess real life probably consumes most of your time.

lol, I've made quite the opposite experience. I've never got disliked anywhere as much as on Reddit. Once, I literally got downvoted just for asking if something was a glitch. Not even naming something a glitch, but just asking "is that a glitch or is it intended?". And the one time I actually DID call something a glitch, hell broke loose. Admittedly, the thing I had called a glitch turned out not to be one, but it was, in my opinion, quite a bad design decision and thus understandable for people to consider it a glitch. When people told me it wasn't one, I asked them for evidence because it simply didn't make sense to me and I was surprised, so I wanted more information. However, just like I had claimed said design element to be a glitch without much evidence, people kept claiming it wasn't one without ever showing any evidence, either. It took about twenty comments or so before someone finally did (pointing to some interview in some magazine or something like that). Of course at that point I was convinced and stopped claming anything. However, of course every single one of my comments in that thread got immediately downvoted. Even absolutely neutral ones where I didn't claim anything. Even the comment where I thanked that one commenter for providing some evidence. Heck, it didn't matter what I said at that point, people already hated me just for having a different opinion, and at that point, every single one of my comments was auto-downvote. It didn't matter what I say.

And that was one of my less crushing experiences on Reddit. For another thread of mine I was made to feel so guilty that I actually deleted the thread on the same day (based mostly on demands by commenters, I didn't even plan to delete it despite feeling horrible). While that one was more understandably my own fault, I got bashed over something rather trivial, which still baffles me. I talked about a horrible experience I had with GameStop which, to be absolutely fair here, did make me feel very betrayed by them. However, I carelessly decided to choose the wording "I feel assaulted", which I admit was neither a sensitive, nor a smart choie of words. However, the amount of hate I got based solely on this bad choice of words alone was way out of proportion. I mean, it was just something I kinda said without thinking about it too much. I wasn't aware some people actually could get offended by that. Comments I got were in a range from a somewhat tame "mimimi, get over it, it's just a game console" to a very harsh "delete your website" (that weren't the exact words, it did sound more threatening than that). Most commentors didn't even really care about any of the story at all, based solely on that one bad choice of words I made.

Needless to say, my experiences with Reddit haven't been the best. That doesn't mean I only had bad experiences with it. I also had a thread with around 800 upvotes where I showcased my Binding of Isaac mod, along with some other kinda nice moments. In my mind, the bad experiences outweigh the good ones, though. Reddit is a major part of the reason I'm absolutely opposed to having social media with negative feedback. Supporting likes is fine. Supporting dislikes is not, as it just makes for a hostile and uncomfortable environment.

My experiences with Twitter actually haven't been nearly as bad, though I'm also way more aware of my choice of words nowadays and post very little on Twitter, anyways (Nowadays, I generally avoid saying anything which could be missunderstood by anyone, anyways - we just know how these things usually go).

ehh, I'm just not too into most social media is all lol; Discord is probably the only kind of it that I actually like, and I do have accounts in some places, but not as much as it tbh; like, I have a WhatsApp account and a Twitter account, but my dad pretty much forced me to have one in case something happens at school and also to talk to most of the people on my classroom there for general school stuff, which I do think it's fine, but I still barely use it anyway so RIP, and I honestly haven't done much with my Twitter one except subscribe to most of the VGM composers I know, just in case I need to talk to them or some shit

I'm actually a lot more interested in niche communities like this one more than worldwide social media if you ask me lmao

The thing with reddit is that you have to go out of your way to find good places for discussion with sensible and sensibly-enforced rules. If you stick to the defaults, you might not have a good time. For example, instead of going to r/gaming, go to r/games and r/truegaming. Instead of going to r/politics, get your news from a more reputable source and talk about them in r/politicaldiscussion.

Fair enough. By niche communities you mean you forums and stuff, right?

The Discord route seems to be popular among the people here. I think more stuff happens there than in the forums these days.

I think your Twitter usage is kinda neat. You seem very passionate about VGM, so it's no surprise you follow your favourite composers. I'm certainly looking forward to the idol to see what members like you produce for it.
