Somebody had to restart this thread. I hope it's okay if I do it.

You aren't mad at me, are you?

2 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6769 22:46

>>1
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

>>3
What should I do during free time at work today?

3 Name: !ESpeoN/nPA : 1993-09-6769 23:29

>>2
Set your coworkers' keyboards to stunDvorak.

>>4
How can I change my sleep schedule? I can't simply go and sleep until it's waaay past 3 a.m.

Why did !ESpeoN/nPA switch back to linking post numbers?

5 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6770 00:06

>>4 I don't care.

>>6 What would you like to try before you die?

6 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6770 00:49

>>5
Ketamine.

>>7
What was your introduction to drug

7 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6770 01:08

>>6
Drug? Never heard of him.

>>8
How long have you been a hikikomori?

8 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6770 01:09

>>6 Ketamine is great, you're in for a treat! I was pretty much straightedge till I was 19 then I tried nutmeg in first year, then in the summer between first and second years of university I tried cocaine then marijuana. In 3rd year I took lots of ecstasy, mephedrone, ketamine, methylone and 2c-i. I read up about the effects and stuff before I tried them all though, it wasn't just trying them because they were offered. Best choice I have ever made in life, I really found myself and turned my life around for the better. Better living through chemicals indeed.

>>8 What is your biggest regret in life?

9 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6770 04:01

>>7
I've never been a true hikki, but I have been a shut-in internet addict on and off for the past 7 years or so.

>>8
I vaguely feel like I answered this in a previous thread, but if so I have a different answer this time. I don't have any big regrets, but I do wish I had been more focused in high school and college. I always did enough to get an A, but didn't take the opportunity to push myself and really learn everything I could. Now it's much harder to learn what with being busy at work and lacking a learning environment, and I realize how easy it would have been back then for me to push myself just a little to learn a lot.

This isn't a big regret though, in some ways it's a lot easier living as an average guy with average knowledge. Sometimes I just need to admit that I'd rather waste my life on the internet than achieve greatness.

What is the purpose of meaning?

Thanks.

>>11
What is your biggest criticism with Biblical Jesus?

12 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6770 16:08

>>11
I haven't one. The Jesus of the bible is an amazing person with a lot of good things to say. The problem I have is with his soi-disant followers, who twist his words (and the rest of the bible) to suit their own ends. Of course, this also holds true for most of the Abrahamic religions. The Darqawa Sufi are intersting, but again, once political posturing kicks in, the whole thing goes down the drain.

>>13
i am too verbose please help

13 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6770 16:39

>>12 me too. Wear your wit like a pocket watch and only bring it out to shine when the time is right. Things are easier if people have lower expectations of you, but then you can dazzle them now and then and leave them thinking "hmm there's more to that guy than meets the eye"

>>14 How do you eat your creme egg?

14 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6770 17:36

>>13
First, I take my creme egg and place it on a ritual granite stone slab which I keep in my garage especially for this purpose. I then stroke it gently on the side, before flaying it 25 times with a sprig of fresh parsley. Next, I hit it with a sledgehammer. Over the pulverised remains, I then drip a little soy sauce and manuka honey. I scrape what's left off the granite slab and feed it to my dog.

Haha, no, I'm only kidding; I just slam it into my mouth whole, chew and swallow.

>>15
What is your favourite obscure unicode character? (Hint: see here)

15 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6770 18:12

16 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6770 18:39

>>17 Did you know 17 is my favourite number, and that I was number 17 when I appeared on a children's TV show when I was younger?

17 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6770 18:53

>>16
I do now.

>>18
What upcoming videogame release are you currently most excited about?

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs

>>19
What, if any, posters do you have on your wall?

19 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6770 20:11

>>18 My walls are covered floor to ceiling in posters and pictures of favourite bands, art and graphic design stuff, other cool stuff, and a big confederate flag hung upside down because I'm into vexillology and get a boner for saltires, but I don't agree with what the flag stands for. My ceiling is covered in pictures my friends and fans have drawn for me.

>>20 What colour is your hair?

20 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6770 23:50

>>19
Boring light brown / dark blond.

>>21
Clearly snowmen are better than religious symbols. Why do you suppose that >>15san said that✡ is better than ☃?

21 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6770 23:51

>>19
Dark blonde, though I've had a grey patch since I was a teenager (not sure why--if anyone knows, please tell me).

>>21
What did you get last Christmas?

22 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6770 23:57

Because I am the Anti-Hitler, here on earth to reverse his evils with my own.

>>21
I got a Nook simple touch, some clothing, and some money. all I wanted.

>>24
What did you think of my joke?

24 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6771 01:02

>>23 It was pretty good, it took me a second for the penny to drop, but I appreciated it.

>>25 Have you ever enjoyed any TV soaps?

25 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6771 07:23

>>24
Does House count? I kinda liked it at first, when it was really trendy.

>>26
How do you deal with internet drama?

26 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6771 07:37

>>25
I ignore it and sometimes laugh about it. On the rare occasion somebody tries to start drama with me personally, I brush it off with a joke and ignore any further attempts.

>>27
Where were you at this moment one year ago?

27 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6771 14:47

>>26 I was in my old flat, stressing about my honours project and dissertation. According to iTunes I was getting into the Guana Batz and getting into the groove with my ambient projects.

>>28 Would you rather be a cowboy or a robot?

28 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6771 15:44

>>27
Robot, definitely.

>>29
What is the most interesting/unusual object you own?

29 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6772 07:37

Hmm, I can think of a few candidates so it's hard to choose. I think I'll say an old change counter machine my grandpa gave me. It's a little red handheld machine with buttons you can click to increase pennies, nickles, dimes and quarters to count up change. It feels really nice in the palm of your hand.

30 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6772 07:48

>>31
What's in your trash can right now?

31 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6772 11:11

Trash, >>30. If you were asking for specific details, it's mainly empty cans, empty food packages, and such.

>>32, what's it feel like, being a power of two?

32 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6772 15:21

>>31
Fine enough.

>>32
What have you done today?

33 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6772 15:55

I went hiking and worked on my COBOL interpreter.

34 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6772 16:10

>>35
What do you wish you had done today?

35 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6772 17:25

>>34
Stayed home from school and slept. But alas, I have papers to turn in.

36 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6773 01:44

>>37
why didn't I get asked a question?

37 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6773 02:19

>>38
Why didn't I answer >>37's question?

38 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6773 02:25

>>37 Because you're a big meanie!

>>39 Who is your favourite wrestler?

39 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6773 15:27

>>38
I'm going to go with Arawat Sabejew, purely because he has a silly name.

>>40
To what degree do you feel that you are in control of your life?

40 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6773 18:17

>>39
No control whatsover

Have you ever been to counselling or therapy or that sort of thing? How did it go?

42 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6774 01:11

>>41
Yes, and I'm still alive, so it worked.

>>43
What kind of music do you find mildly uplifting?

43 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6774 01:48

>>42
Perfume. It is literally impossible* to feel depressed while listening to J-pop.

*not really

>>44
What were you doing five minutes ago?

44 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6774 02:28

Watching this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjN8T-iJRpU

>>45
What's your favorite bagel flavor?

45 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6774 03:20

>>44 Bacon, for the irony. Actually I've never had a bagel before?

>>46 What's your poison?

46 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6774 13:40

>>45
Thujone.

>>47
Fire, water, earth, or air?

47 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6774 13:59

>>46
Water. Gotta go with the flow.

>>48
Would you rather go without sex or without music the rest of your life?

48 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6774 14:28

>>47
Sex, it's easier than it looks.

>>49
u ot m8?

49 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6774 14:29

>>47 I've already decided that if I ever went deaf or my willy got cut off, I'd probably just kill myself.

>>49 What are your thoughts on this song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySPv9X-_QyI

50 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6774 14:32

>>47
I'm going fine without sex so far, so I pick that. Without music I probably would have killed myself and/or others by now.

>>49
What is your most recent accomplishment?

51 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6774 15:42

>>48
Ehh?

>>49
Vulgar and distasteful. Very silly.

>>50
I cleared PoFV's extra stage with Komachi.

>>52
How the fuck do I do this spellcard?

52 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6775 01:13

>>51
Use Tokiko.

>>53
What are things that piss you off?

53 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6775 01:45

>>52 My flatmate leaving my telly and PS3 on standby, dumb bitches, the police, a couple of posters here, uncultured meatheads, the word "bro", katy perry, animal abusers, people who try to act all mature and look down their collective nose at me when I'm having some fun.

>>54 Analog clocks or digital clocks?

54 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6775 08:36

>>53
Analogue clocks look better but digital clocks are more reliable. Best to have some of both.

>>55
What is your favourite type of cake?

55 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6775 10:55

>>54
Victoria sponge. It is everything a cake should be, but no more.

>>56
What is the most exciting thing you have ever cooked?

56 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6775 11:24

>>55
Coincidentally, it was victoria sponge, with a filling of marmalade made out of pomelo. Not a great success, but interesting to say the least.

>>57
Have you ever tried pomegranate? Did you like it?

57 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6775 15:15

>>56 I drank some juice that contained pomegranate, and I didn't like it. Does that count?

>>58 How difficult was it to open your first bottle of Ramune?

58 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6775 21:59

>>57
Not terribly difficult, but I ended up spilling about a tenth of it because I'd shaken it too much getting it indoors.

>>59
Do you prefer your Chinese text written horizontally or vertically?

59 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6775 22:22

>>58 Vertically, without a doubt.

>>60 Blonde, brunettes or redheads? Or "crazy" unnatural colours? I'm talking about your taste in sexual partners.

60 Name: Sorénanté-Hait Roguet : 1993-09-6775 22:40

>>59
Ultramarine, no contest. But only if the carpet matches the drapes.

>>61
What's your favourite Japanese adult PC game?

61 Name: [トキ子] : 1993-09-6776 00:37

>>60
YMK, followed by Saya no Uta. YMK has lovable characters and SnU is the thinking man's porn.

>>62
Thoughts on Linux 3.3?

62 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6776 04:11

>>61
My computer freezes when I try to boot up with it! Fuck you!

>>63
What do you think about the fire Emblem series?

63 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6776 04:21

>>62
I love the music. Never played them, though.

>>64
How do you feel about the comparison between video game and "real" music?

64 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6776 08:51

>>63
Some video games have very good music, much better than some "real" music. I believe it's silly to think less of a piece of music just because of where it comes from.

>>65
How do you deal with extroverts?

65 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6776 09:09

>>64
If I like them enough, I act just extroverted enough to keep getting along with them. Otherwise, I just stay away. Fortunately, I like most people.

>>66
What's your favorite TED talk?

66 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6776 15:50

>>65
That's a tough one. I like quite mundane ones:
http://www.ted.com/talks/eli_pariser_beware_online_filter_bubbles.html
And recently:
http://www.ted.com/talks/susan_cain_the_power_of_introverts.html
One of those, I suppose.

>>67
What's it like in the universe where people can't post in the right threads?

67 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6776 17:07

>>66, ( ・-・) I'm a big fat butt, I'm a big fat butt, I'm a big fat butt.

>>68, what's it like in the universe where we resisted the temptation to cross the streams?

68 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6776 17:57

>>67
I wouldn't know. This isn't a thread capable of sending people to alternate universes, you know.

>>69
What is your favourite piece of art?

69 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6776 18:51

>>68 Myself.

>>70 when was last time you took public transport?

70 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6776 20:25

>>69
15:35 this afternoon.

>>71
What is your opinion on homeopathy?

71 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6776 20:59

>>70
I hold the idea of water memory in similarly high regard as I do the great beard in the sky who wants us to kill all the gays and not covet our neighbors' asses.

>>72
When, if at all, will we get a centrally controlled world government, and where will its capital be?

72 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6776 21:15

>>71
I don't think we ever will, but it'd be located in Rome, obviously.

>>73
PHP or Perl?

73 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6776 21:30

>>72
PHP for brevity, and Perl for when you have important stuff to do.

>>74
MATLAB or Mathematica?

74 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6777 00:41

>>73
I never went deep enough into the math world to ever use MATLAB, but I did find Mathematica quite helpful for number theory. Its graphing system seemed a little convoluted and hard to control, like it would be a pain in the ass to graph something complicated just the way you want it. Maybe MATLAB is better at that. I only used it for a couple days so I might have just been missing something.

>>75
Vim or emacs?

75 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6777 02:19

>>74
Unanswerable. You cannot compare the two as vim is a superior text editor and emacs is a mediocre OS.

>>76
Why did I fall over backward and how can I prevent it in the future?

76 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6777 03:52

>>75

Perhaps your shoes are worn in the heel. You might consider replacing them.

>>77

Why can't I, hold all these limes?

77 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6777 08:20

>>76
Because you rack disciprine.

>>78
What's the worst horror you've ever subjected yourself to?

78 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6777 08:49

>>77
"Amnesia: The Dark Descent". God damn terrifying.

>>79
Have you ever attempted to create a game? How did it go?

79 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6777 14:32

>>78
I made a few embarrassingly bad flash games when I was a preteen. More recently, in college I made a little cube dodging game in java for Graphics class. I only spent a couple days on it so there's not much to it.
Check it out:

>>80
What's your high score in my game?

80 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6777 16:54

>>79 hey pretty neat! I got 401, though I know I can do better... the music in the folder is cool too but it doesn't play during the game

>>81 Can you beat my score? Post a link to a screencap if you do

81 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6778 20:34

>>80
No, I cannot. It appears my danmaku skills have deserted me; the highest I got was 159.

>>82
Do I talk about Touhou too much?

82 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6778 21:02

>>81 oh what I got 255 on my first go and I've never even played a touhou game

Hey >>83, >>81 must really suck, huh?

83 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6778 22:31

>>82
Well, once the score gets around 150-200, the cubes start falling so quickly that I think it's more about luck than skill. I certainly don't have a fast enough reaction time to do any real dodging once it gets around 250. My high score is 529 but that's only because I tested it so much while making it.

(By the way, not sure why the music doesn't work on other machines - that's my fault for never testing it on a computer other than my own.)

>>81
You're not the only Touhou fan on here, so I don't think it's a bad thing. I personally have never played a Touhou game but I don't mind all the Touhou posts here, I just skip over them if I don't know what they're talking about.

>>84
What's the appeal of Touhou?

84 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6778 22:47

>>83
The hats.

>>85, have you ever been in an emergency in which emergency mittens were needed?

85 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6779 00:29

>>84
I vaguely recall that when the button first came out, it was a response to terrible anti-mitten propaganda on IRC. The emergency was that mittens may disappear from DQN forever, so I did my part, releasing the emergency mittens daily to help Fight the Power!

>>86
Do you remember that anti-mittens IRC conversation? I can't seem to find it after a couple minutes of googling.

86 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6779 03:50

>>85
Nope!

>>87
You get a kitten tomorrow. You name it?

87 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6779 04:34

>>86
Soul Drinker.

>>88
What kind of kitten should I get?

88 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6779 04:44

>>87
  へ-ヘ

Do you think Teh Rei's Dinor will ever reopen?

89 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6779 06:10

>>88
I sure hope not, dude. I got hella crappy service.

>>90
What GNU/Linux distro should I give my sister to try?

90 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6779 07:10

>>89
Ichthux, linux for Christians.

>>91
About how many operating systems have you used in your life? (Let's say a week or more of usage, trying out a live CD just one time doesn't count.)

91 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6779 08:36

>>90
Windows: 5: 98, NT, XP, Vista, Win7
Mac: about 3: OS 8, OS 9, OS X (and some later versions I cannot be assed to recall)
Linux: 5: Slackware, Debian, Mandrake, Arch, Ubuntu
Unix: 2: FreeBSD, Haiku

So, 15.

>>91
Favorite: Slackware Linux
Hated: OS X

I hate using Macs. I don't care about most GNU distros as long as things are in their proper places, and I absolutely love using Slackware.

My linux machine is in the shop getting the LCD fixed, but for this computer:
MINGW32_NT-6.1 ASTERIOS 1.0.12(0.46/3/2) 2010-02-05 01:08 i686

On average, how many hours per day do you spend on the computer?

About seven.

What is the best free (as in free beer) General MIDI soundfont?

95 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6779 14:59

>>94
It's not technically a soundfont, but GXSCC is my favorite way to play MIDI files. Chiptuney goodness. There's even a secret OPL mode, can you find it? (Hint - click around)

>>96
What's your favorite midi file?

96 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6779 17:29

>>95 hmm maybe dshos5_4.mid? there are so many to choose from, I don't really play the "favorite" game.

>>94 there is no best, but SGM, Crisis GM, and GeneralUser GS are pretty good I'd say, if you just want the whole range of instruments. these days, soundfonts are passé when you can use individual VSTs for each instrument and they will sound better and use less CPU.

>>97 do you like free beer?

97 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6779 18:29

>>96 nah, i only drink whisky and GBL

>>98 What's your dream vehicle?

98 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6779 18:39

>>97
My dreams prefer to walk, thank you. Smartassery aside, it's an ex-military transport helicopter gayed up with hundreds of bishōjo game decals on every available outside surface.

>>99
What's your preferred Japanese proxy server?

99 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6780 18:06

>>98
I live in Japan, so I don't need one! I've used Tor on the few occasions when I wanted anonymous browsing.

>>100
What's the most offensive website you know of?

100 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6780 23:34

>>99 I've never actually been offended before...

>>101 Can you offend me, not knowing anything about me other than that I just 100 GOT?
