What trip? I haven't even looked for new anime in ages.

Thought you'd start Hunter by now.
I thought of a show I think you might like. It basically gives betas the middle finger from the first episode to the end.

Name?

Kaiji. It's about a NEET who'se forced to gamble for his ******* life, but he's scammed by every ******* human alive. It's a psychological show above whatever you'd expect, and one of a very little list of anime I'd brand as perfection.

Nice speech. I'll keep the show in mind.

It's filled with **** like that. It's just beautiful.

You may go die in a fire.

ok, thanks for at least replying.

Wut?

Strange, random and kind of gay. So, is this a selfie or something?

Well I am from the desert.
I would love a fluffly pink guile suit to strut around in for ***** and giggles.

Anyhow whats up.

Not much. Still waiting for those university results. Just three more days until I find out if it's time to celebrate or punch a hole through a wall.

Oh man. Well heres to crossing fingers. I hope you get in.

My friend is making me play cripple girl simulator 2012

Katawa Shoujo? Ugh god, I hope you're not a fan of reading, because if you've seen proper writing, that thing is going to seem horrible. So slooooooooooooooow. Also, avoid the ******* brigade - Pinkie McDrillhair and Specs the amazing bitch.

I'm barely into it. The analogies are good but hisao is a goddamn retard it seems.

Eh. I'll probably go for rin.

How do I avoid being pushed of the roof?

By not being a dumbass, mostly. Just don't hurt anyones' feelings and you'll be good. On my first try I intentionally pissed everyone off just to see what happens. Kenji happened. If you're going for a specific route, just look up a flowchart or something. It just turns it from a game into a visual novel.

Is it.. not a visual novel?..
Got it.

Why do I have to play as this ******* ?

Ah, **** . Almost forgot to reply. Saw something shiny and got distracted. Anyway, there is a simply explanation as to why Hisao has the mental capacity of a lobotomized chimpanzee - the game is made by /a/. See, /a/ is the chamber of the great council of otakus , which slightly overlaps with the great council of neckbeards, , which means that, despite this being a western production, they have to make it as cliche and anime-y as possible. That means they have to include as many stereotypes as possible. You've got:
The sexually and all-round oblivious MC in the form of Hisao, just like every MC in a romance anime ever.
The shy, quiet one, which all the fans like, in the form of Hanako, just like characters like Hinata
The overly nice and motherly one, who's actually got a heavy burden - Lilly, just like a ******* of characters whos' names I can't remember. Like that captain from Bleach. The one with the braid.
Overly sporty one - Emi
The hidden genius that looks like they're high 25/7 and none of what they say makes sense unless you can think in 5 dimensions - Rin
Bossy bitch with glasses (they even made her to the "adjust glasses and they shine like ******* 200 000 watt fog lights" thing) - Shizune
The hyperactive one (bonus points for the stereotypical pink hair) - Misha
The paranoid comic relief, who does crazy and random **** - Kenji.

It could have had a proper story and characters, but alas, they decided to make it a waifu simulator rather than a proper ******* novel.

I feel like I'd be able to connect most with rin.

I don't know, something about a lax attitude, not necessarily shy, just someone who only talks when they feel they need to, and has something to say when they do.
A quiet observer kind of attitude.

Someone you could legit just lay back in the same room as silently and they'd still count it as quality time.

Yeah, that's more or less Rin. She's one of the better-written routes, so you'll probably like it if you can get past the mind-numbingly slow pace. God, I still don't get why they spend a solid 20% of time describing everything. It's a ******* visual novel. We can SEE what's happening. If they'd just dropped that, it might have been an actual good read.

Meh, it seems alright so far. Nothing spectacular or underwhelming either.

Yeah, that's the thing that made it suck for me. You're just "OK, this is pretty unremarkable, but something cool should happen soon. *two hours later* aaaaaaaaaaaany minute now *5 hours later* aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaany mi- oh, it's over.". I dunno, maybe it's because I got Hanako.

I used to read so much in the desert, but I sold my books to afford the move.

Maybe I should go to a book store.

Or you could just look up books online.

Thats not quite the same for me man.

Although the frustration of constantly fiddling with the fickle pages of a book is a little inconvenient.

Maybe its because I never had a bookmark.

I'm not even sure what a bookmark is.

Usually a very small rope or a long thin laminated card like a stretched out debit card that goes between the pages.

Oh. Why not just use a regular piece of paper?

Im leaving my house for the first time in months today. Even if it is to just go to the book store.

I could, I just always forgot or was too lazy so I never bothered. I just dogeared the page.

Yes, I've known about that for ages. Doesn't interest me much, though. I prefer medieval fantasy over futuristic stuff. Still, I may look into it, seeing as how it'll be a month until they fix the new DF patch. Later, though. I still have other **** to play.

It's been prepared for a month now, ever since I heard about the upcoming update. I can not ******* wait. It's gonna have so much cool **** in both adventure mode and fortress mode. The things I'm most excited about are the new system that draws siege units from the civilization pool, meaning actual goblin citizens attack me instead of some randomly generated crap, meaning I can cripple their civilizations by simply existing and anihilating their armies. The other main thing is the fact that world generation will continue in fortress mode, meaning those crippled civilizations will really be wiped out thanks to me.

God, I know this is going to be a buggy, unplayable piece of **** for a month, but I don't care. This is going to be AWESOME!

I'm loving it so far.
Been doing Adventure mode

Had to say goodbye to my previous fortress because of a tantrum spiral
But i learned one thing from that fortress, the easy way to get to a legendary military
>Make room with 1 upright spears (Only training spears), 1 Armor stand and 1 locked door
>Assign military to armor stand (Put them in decent armor first, or give them a cloak. If you've got neither, good training for your medical team)
>Put lever on repeat
>Profit

Axelords, Hammerlords, Swordmasters and Spearmasters in about 2-5 minutes. And they're all legendary Fighters, Dodgers, etc.

Yes, that's called a danger room. Popular training method. My usual approach is:
1. Give dorfs armor. No weapon or shield.
2. Send them into the danger room, where they become legendary armor users and pretty good at dodging.
3. Give shield.
4. Send into danger room, until they become legendary blockers and great at dodging.
5. Give weapon.
6. Don't let them leave the room until they become legendary at the weapon and legendary dodgers. It takes a while, due to how good they are at blocking and dodging.

That's why my army usually consists of a tag team of two dwarves. I prefer quality over quantity when it comes to melee dorfs, so I pick two dwarves that are naturally physically fit it's important, because physical attributes can only become double their original value, meaning you can't make a weakass dwarf look like Conan the Dwarfbarian , give them dwarves full masterwork steel armor, train them to superhuman levels and watch as they slaughter everything in their path.

One of these days I'm going to perfect my super-soldier training program by adding genetics to it, selectively breeding the dorfiest of dorfs in order to get the perfect engines of destruction. It'll have to wait, though. I've decided to put off playing it for a bit and wait until the worst fortress mode bugs get fixed. Also, there's a lot of mini-updates coming, which include some stuff Toady couldn't get running for the full update.

Yeah, i figured that my dwarves didn't bother to dodge anymore because they just used their weapon to block
My military basically started out as full wrestlers (Reading reports on killing Elven Caravans has never been more fun), since i didn't forge weapons from the start (They quickly armed themselves with goblin weapons tho)

I don't often look at the description, more at their job and how replaceable they are. ie Cheese makers and Spinners are excellent military material to me. The ones that did survive everything are rewarded with my finest armors. The others just serve to tire the other creatures and/or lure enemies into cage traps.

My ultimate achievement will be when i manage to capture a dragon. Cave dragon or actual Dragon matters not. But i MUST and SHALL have a goddamn War Dragon.

Oh, yeah. That's awesome. I've had those. Instant goblin remover, as long as you keep it safe from archers. Dragons are absurdly fragile. They're glass cannons, basically. My ambition is to catch two rocs. They're the only megabeasts that can breed. They can be bred. I can have an army of ******* rocs.

I've thought of catching Rocs, but i figured i'd just keep it at a dragon for the moment. Imagine an entire fort just filled with ******* Rocs

I'll just restrain the dragon to a safe place and then watch it burn everything.

The **** is it this time?

Am I not allowed to try and have a conversation?

How are you?

No, there's no problem and I'm a bit............................ irritable. Yes, let's say "irritable", because I'm trying to get my paperwork done while I wait for the universities I applied in to announce my results. I'm really on ******* edge, because despite my great grades and the fact that I'm competing with ******** , I am the unluckiest ************ I know. Both universities I applied to had a special new offer, where you can pay to get in early for 50% of the places in specialty. Both universities only tested it on a single specialty - THE ONE I WANT TO ******* GET INTO! So now I'm competing for half the number of spots, because some jackasses with Ds paid to get in first. And this **** wasn't even official. Unless you literally knew someone who worked at the university, you had no ******* idea it was a thing. So now I'm just sitting here, marinating in my own stress and seething, burning, mind-numbingly intense hatred for the world, while I wait for the results.

Other than that, everything's fine. Had some ice cream earlier today and Dwarf Fortress is getting an update soon, which everyone's been waiting for for two years. So, all in all, if I manage not to think about the university thing for 5 seconds, I'll be as happy as can physically be.

Im sorry..

For what? I'll get into the specialty I want. I worked my ass off for this, my grades are more than high enough, my paperwork is flawless and there's not all that many people competing. I will ****** some of the people that got better scores than me just to vacate a spot for myself. I. WILL. GET. IN. Nothing short of a meteor destroying the university is going to stop me.

Dedication like that is kinda attractive.

I'm not dedicated. I'm stubborn. It's a pretty major personality flaw - I'm incapable of admitting defeat or giving up. When a sensible person encounters and obstacle, they walk around it. When I encounter an obstacle, I bash my head against it until one or the other breaks. It is by no means attractive.

Considering the **** on my profile, this is an improvement.

As 50% of the **** on your profile, I'm offended.

You have no idea how much willpower it's currently taking for me to not start insulting you.

I was kidding man.

Want me to talk to you less?

I generally dislike human interaction, so yes. It would be nice. I thought you had a ******* of other people to talk to.

There are a lot of people to talk to, but a lot less I LIKE to talk to.

Great, I'm the worlds' most anti-social conversationalist.

Yes, that sounds like Dwarf Fortress lite. Then again, you could write two novels on just the ways you could dick around in Dwarf Fortress. They'll soon be even more. There should be an update in a week or two. Give or take two years.

I'm not even sure I can dick around on the same level of Dwarf Fortress.
Maybe? Maybe not.

Well, depends on how creative you are. For example, what would you do if you started a fortress around a volcano? What would you use the infinity supply of lava for?

Praise a lava god. Protect lava god temple to the death, in the face of defeat, make final stand and crack open lava vault thing, if we die, our enemies will burn in holy fire with us.

Not bad, not bad. That's actually the standard approach to lava in this game. However, there are more interesting things you can do with it. I asked you this, because my last fort was on a volcano. Can you guess what I made right above my entrance? A gigantic golden dick, with balls full of pressurized lava, which it could spew at invaders at the pull of a lever. That is the type of ******* around one is capable of AND MORE! You should read some of the Dwarf Fortress stories. Basically, it's a type of challenge where different people pass eachother a save file and play for a year each and documenting everything in text form. Since you have different people doing different **** , it's complete chaos. The most famous of these stories is ************ , which ended in the fiery death you just described. Want a link?

Yes I do.
I neglected to mention the faint Rammstein playing when everyone burns to death.
I'm sure I can get more creative if I wanted to.

lparchive.org/Dwarf-Fortress-Boatmurdered/

Here, even if you don't understand what's going on in the pics, the story should be pretty easy to make out.

Jesus I thought you meant "year" as in "real actual ******* year"

No, no, no, no. Ingame year. Jesus, most players can't even survive that long. The most I've been able to do is two real life months. That was my oldest fort - destroyed 27 years after its' founding by me getting bored of it, since it was going too well.

Well.
ADD ME ON STEAM FOR CONVENIENCE
steamcommunity.com/id/Eddynigma

BEHOLD! The wonders of dwarven medicine.

**** off. I quit League. If I wanted pain and frustration, I'd try bondage.

Oh I can help with that baby.

Let me just find the fuzzy handcuffs <3

Please die in a fire and what the hell is that thing you keep posting?

Seccom Masada sensei.

In yume nikki if you solve a couple puzzles you end up on his space ship, where he will always play piano. If you get him to look at you, you can see his eyes are crooked.

hi

I thumbed down that post, you ************* retard.

<3

I do

No, not really.

Yes, though I was never a *********** . I only chilled there, because it was a fast and interesting board. Now it's just a massive throbbing tumor.

yeah... it's terribly declined

Yes, that's normal for an introvert.

I think I can get along well with you because of that.
You explain things factually. Without bias. You say why you do things and how you actually feel. There are no games. You're a logical thinker.

Do you feel like people perceive you as emotionless or cold in normal conversation? Or that you "Have no interest" when you just sit there and listen?..

Yes, I know for a fact that they do, since they've told me. I just look uninterested by default, but once people get used to it, they don't notice. As for the "say why you do things and how you actually feel" part, I've noticed that it's much easier to just be yourself. That's why I value honesty and people who don't pretend they're something they're not. That's why I have few friends, but I get along well with the ones I have, since I know that's who they really are. It's so much easier to be friends when no one's pretending to be something they're not. Just fly your true colors and give as little of a **** as possible.

I try to keep up appearances a little bit.
If you speak your mind too much you get into unnecessary conflict. I try to keep that to a minimum.

Yeah, I've noticed that sometimes it's better to just shut up. "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" and all that crap.

Yes. Plus being nice is nice.

Yes, though saying that is a bit redundant.

I suppose it is.

But I'll have you know I work for the redundant centre for redundant redundancies.

In the department of redundancy department?

No.

Then you're not being redundant enough.

Its rather cold. And I'm in for my third day of public school in a few hours...

And I haven't slept.

Sounds like a regular school day to me. I've noticed that even the most social people have only two reasons to get up in the morning on a school day: because they have to go to school or because they have to take a piss. No one enjoys getting up and dragging their semi-comatose ass to school. Chill, you'll get used to it. And don't worry if people treat you like an outsider because you're new. Happens to everyone. You just have to give them some time to get used to the idea that you're part of their class.

The school year is nearly over. Its rather silly they enrolled me in the first place.

Eh, better late than never.

True..

Yeah, that's probably me.

EU. I think.

Exotic#2745 add me EU

By the way, my Hearthstone name is EpiclyBad.

I rarely play, but OK. I'm hypercasual.

i just like to have people added
like to vent or brag or congratulate

hearthstone is such a lonely game without people

Also, it's a bit more fun if you don't care about winning. Like my current main deck - the ragequit deck. It's pretty **** at everything but one thing, but it excels in it - making the other person yell "ARE YOU ******* KIDDING ME?!?". I can pull a 28/28 creature out my ass on turn 5 and no one even expects it.

i have a druid deck called Gaben that doesn't include the number 3 in any shape or form
It's stupid but fun

All my decks are pretty stupid. I mean, in most of them, I don't even have creatures that cost less than 4 mana.

I like playing it while listening to podcasts and stuff.

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

i'll take that as "quite well"

Eeeeeeeeeeeeh, good have been better. Could have been worse. Luckily, I got the grades I need for university elsewhere, so I don't need the grades from the finals. I'll definitely pass, so it's no big deal. I'm just glad it's finally over. I have 3 whole weeks of nothing to worry about before university applications start.

3 weeks of nothing to worry about. that's a LOT of porn, dude.

And Dark Souls 2. Started playing it recently.

i have yet to play the dark souls games. saw the gameplay, not that interested

Dark Souls 1 on PC was a complete piece of **** . DS 2 is fine. Kind of relaxing, actually.

i prefer shooters or if it is a sword and shield kind of rpg, skyrim or the original fable

I was drunk. Ignore everything and anything I may have said. You saw NOTHING.

Actually you're right. I did see nothing. You deleted it in seconds.

But I'm happy to know you come to me in your drunkenness.

Do you enjoy my company at all or do I bother you?

Seeing as how I'm currently half-asleep and slightly pissed, it's hard to tell how much is caused by my disposition and how much because of you. Still, I wouldn't say you're bothering me.

What are you angry about?

Because I got drunk and did something I haven't done since I was 12. The one thing I swore to never do again - give a **** .

Its okay sometimes.

People are people.
No matter how strong or competent we have needs we try to ignore because they make us feel weak.

If you have a concern I'm happy to listen, drunk or sober.

Yes, I realized something yesterday - why people claim I'm a nice person, while I've been left with the impression that I'm an utter **** . The reason I learned how to not give a **** and completely ignore all emotions is because ever since I was a kid, I've always been sensitive about that crap. I was the type of kid who got into a fight, beat the snot out of the other kid and then started crying, because they hurt someone. It was a massive pain in the ass, so I learned how to completely kill that stuff through discipline, willpower and all that cliche stuff.

That was years ago and I just now realized I didn't manage to completely suppress it. Yesterday, while drunk with my classmates, quite a few of them came over to talk. No specific reason, they just wanted to have a conversation, because talking to me "just feels good", so they shared their problems with me and, while I felt ****** at first, when they cheered up, I became happy for the first time in ******* forever. Really a rare event for me. And that's when my whiskey-numbed brain finally put two and two together and I realized why I'm always miserable - I'm like a goddamn emotional sponge. No, not like Spongebob. I mean my mood is dictated by the mood of those around me, which means I can't be happy unless everyone else around me is happy, which would finally explain why I always try to cheer up everyone around me and act like a ******* just to make them laugh. The problem is that the whole "cheering people up" thing always makes me sad or miserable, since now I'm thinking about their problems as well as mine. So, in the end, either I'm miserable because they're miserable or I'm miserable because I cheered them up. You seeing the issue yet? Basically, unless I completely isolate myself from people, I'm always miserable, which would explain why I'm perma-pissed.


Long story short: I got drunk and realized I'm going to die alone and unloved, because I can't be happy around people.
Silver lining: I'm an automatic mood-improver for anyone within a 20 meter radius, who I don't hate. Also, my desire to please everyone got me to rank #3 on funnyjunk.

When I saw in my notifications that I got mentioned by thechosentroll a deep pscyhological sob story was the last thing I expected...

Oh, **** off. It was a moment of weakness and whiskey. I got over it.

Good, don't disappoint me again.

Imma disappoint you all I want.

Now that's more like it.

I see the dilemma but not quite the solution.

One possible thing is that you could open up your own problems to others, as others do to you.

Everyone can clean up eachothers mess.

Remember the "so I learned how to completely kill that stuff through discipline, willpower and all that cliche stuff." part? What I meant by that is "I developed a seething hatred for it and now the very notion of doing that crap makes me want to punch myself in the face for being a little bitch.". I hate bothering others with my problems, since I consider it whining. I hate whining, I hate pity and I hate sharing my problems to the point where I've almost developed an anti-whining complex.

Sooooooooooo, yeah. Sharing not really an option. Frankly, I'm not even sure why I'm explaining all this right now. I think I may be in a state of "negative ***** given" right now, to compensate for yesterday.

Well.. If it's any consolation I would never pity you.
I wouldn't call it whining or weakness. Its a necessary thing for human beings to indulge rather.
Also the fact, I don't think I could ever see you as weak. You're far too manly for that notion.

But if its absolutely not going to happen fine. I'm here if you change your mind though.

On another note I'm actually going to public school tomorrow.

Well, prepare for endless pain, then. No offense, but you're not really the type of person who'll do too well amongst that kind of people. You're too nice and easily offended. People like me do well, since nothing ever gets to them. Still, I could be wrong and your school may be different from every school I've been to.

Well I've already been awake longer than I should have.

I hope to talk to you again soon.

Yeah, bye.
