1 Name: !ESpeoN/nPA : 1993-09-6769 21:57

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

You aren't mad at me, are you?

201 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6797 07:40

>>200
A friendly old woman at the local egg stall. She sold me 10 fresh eggs and told me I was handsome.

>>202
Who will you see next and what will you do with them?

202 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6797 17:04

>>201
My social worker. She will probably try to get me some benefits, and I'll complain about the welfare state (despite being a poor NEET) and we'll argue until after her shift has ended (this happens often).

>>203
Where do you (or did you last) work, and how is (or was) it?

203 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6798 18:02

>>202
I was a waiter at a small Indian restaurant. It was fun, and I had a lot of time to read when business was slow, but I quit because there just weren't enough tips and hours for me to really pay for anything substantial in life.

>204

Where do you go to school, and what do you study?

204 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6799 00:33

>>203 I graduated last summer in Computer Arts, and now I run my own company.

>>205 What's been happening on /dqn/ the past couple of weeks? I've been on holiday kind of.

205 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6799 01:02

>>204
Not much, it's the same DQN as usual. The DQN short novel has been getting pretty good, in my opinion. At least compared to when it first started.

>>206
What's the soonest thing to which you are you looking forward?

206 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6799 12:23

>>205
I am meeting an old friend from teenagehood in a couple of hours. I'm a little nervous, but really looking forward to seeing her!

>>207
What is your earliest (significant) memory?

207 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6799 16:45

>>206
It was a nightmare in which I was chased down a corridor by a bunch of stuffed toys. Then they turned into puppies. Then I woke up. To this day, it remains the only nightmare I have ever had.

>>208
What happened in the most recent dream you can recall?

208 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6800 00:56

>>207 I was in a putrid public toilet finding a urinal to take a piss in. I had bare feet and most people missed the urinal when they took a piss, so I stepped in it.

>>209 Why would I have that kind of dream 3 times per week?

209 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6800 11:05

>>208
I'm not one for psychoanalysis, but perhaps it's something to do with disgust of others or yourself?

>>210
What is your favourite visual novel?

210 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6836 23:15

>>209
I don't really have much experience with VNs, sadly.

>>211
What has been the most exciting thing to happen to you today?

211 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6837 05:30

>>210 took some ecstasy. listened to music with friends. drew some pictures.

>>212 whisky or wine?

212 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6837 10:53

>>211
Wine with food, whiskey for drinkin'.

213 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6837 10:55

>>213
Tell me about your most memorable fap.

214 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6837 11:35

>>213
That's not a question! Anyway, I suppose it would be the first time I tried anal stimulation. Came like a god damn fountain.

>>215
What is your favourite type of chocolate?

215 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6837 11:54

>>214
Lindt Lindors. Those things are delicious.

>>216
If you could have an unlimited supply of one type of food for the rest of your life (and suffer no ill effects), what would it be?

216 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6837 12:00

>>215
Probably pizza. It's relatively healthy in that it covers many food groups with the right toppings, delicious, filling, easy to eat and I never get tired of it. Would save me lots of money on many meals.

>>217
What's your favorite type of pizza?

217 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6837 14:48

>>216
Hawaiian.

>>218
What do you think the 7000th of September will be like?

218 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6838 07:53

>>217
The Lord Squeeks will descend from the Heavens and put to the sword all who do not partake of the Hawaiian pizza sacrament. Those who do will be awarded a glowing hat of poop.

>>219
Where is the ideal place on Earth for you to live?

219 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6838 08:04

>>218
Anywhere that's slightly cool, I guess. I was thinking Scandinavia would be fun to visit next year...

>>219
Tell me about your worst drug experience.

220 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6838 09:53

>>219
Smoked weed for the second time in my life with some friends and I showed them Mindgame. I felt really worried about the fact that they did not seem to be really enjoying the movie, so I felt really uncomfortable the whole time. I realized later that this unnatural paranoia may have been a side effect of the weed. (Also, not a question but whatever)

>>221
If you could have any job, what would it be? (Assuming that you could also somehow gain the requirements to do that job well.)

221 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6838 10:26

>>220
Pretty much what ZUN does. That is, make danmaku games involving little girls.

>>222
If you were a Touhou character, what would you name your iconic spellcard?

222 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6838 10:47

>>221
NEET Sign "The Eternal Shadow of Unmovable Curtains"

>>223
What do you think of ducks?

223 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6838 11:35

>>222
Alan Moore was right about them.

>>224
What is your favourite historical period, in which location, and why?

224 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6838 16:02

>>223 I wanted to see Japan during the 1980s, because I wanted to see it rise to become a great power.

>>225 What was your favorite 8-bit video game soundtrack?

225 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6841 09:33

>>224
The one from VVVVVV.

>>226
What is your favourite hyperbolic function?

226 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6841 15:59

>>225 Fluttershy

>>227 How do you like your eggs?

227 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6841 17:02

>>226 Either soft-boiled or sunny side up with a semi-solid yolk.

>>228 Assuming you could take a one-way trip into any tabletop RPG setting of your choice, where would you want to go?

228 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6841 17:52

>>227
FATAL.

>>229
What can you currently hear, smell, and taste?

229 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6841 18:09

>>228
I can hear birds and some city traffic. It smells like the room is in dire need of some vacuum cleaning, and I can taste some rather thick saliva, which probably means I need to drink more water.

>>230
What are your top 3 favourite console games?

230 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6841 18:33

>>229
Jet Set Radio Future, Earthbound, and Halo 2 (just for the online experiences with it).

>>231
What are your top 3 favorite internet websites?

231 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6841 19:53

>>230
1) DQN
2) Tohno-chan
3) SAoVQ

>>232
Do you have any exciting plans for the immediate future?

232 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6841 22:20

>>231
I'm going to AX this June! I'm so excited, I'm meeting most of my friends there.

>>233
What was the last book you read?

233 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6842 02:11

>>232
Psychology Applied to Modern Life: Adjustment in the 21st Century. It's like a psychology textbook disguised as a self-help book. Or a self-help book disguised as a psychology textbook. Good stuff.

>>234
How would you describe your life philosophy?

234 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6842 02:40

>>233
I die tomorrow, and there's certainly no use in planning what my corpse will be doing.

>>235
What is the longest time you have stayed awake and for what reason?

235 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6842 03:36

>>234
Two days. And I was reading a really good book. I felt like crap after.

>>236
What's an insignificant skill or talent that you are proud of?

236 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6842 05:19

>>235
The ability to recall the exact sound of people's voices with perfect clarity. Unfortunately my memory is otherwise terrible, so I can't use it to recognize people. I'll often remember a voice perfectly, but not the name that goes with it.

>>237
What's an insignificant secret you've never told anybody offline?

237 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6842 07:43

>>236
I have never played Pokémon.

>>238
What would you like your epitaph to be?

Where can one find a nice, normal, sane girl?

239 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6842 11:57

>>238
Safebooru.

>>240
What do you think of the loudness war and overcompression (this is not about data compression like MP3 or Vorbis)? Is the music you listen to affected?

240 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6842 17:10

>>239
I just turn my speakers down if it's too loud and turn them up if it's too quiet. Haven't noticed either really, though.

>>241
Why are women so hard to understand?

241 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6842 20:37

>>240
Because societal norms force them to be the way they are. Don't blame yourself or women in general. If you need someone to blame, blame Zionists or The Elitist Superstructure.

>>242
If you could change one thing in your life, what would it be?

242 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6842 21:46

>>241
Not having Seasonal Affective Disorder would be pretty swell. I wish I didn't hate Winter; it's quite a pleasant season otherwise.

>>243
What is your opinion on the Secret Area of VIP Quality?

243 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6843 08:50

>>242
I like it, I like it a lot!

>>244
Who are your favorite heros on Dota 2? (Let's play some time, too, my SteamID is "clisp"~)

244 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6860 07:59

>>243
Never played it, I'm afraid.

>>245
What is your favourite type of crystal lattice?

245 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6860 15:00

>>244
ƒΐBoron (R-105)

>>246
How can I learn to play the keyboard?

246 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6860 16:35

>>245
Get a keyboard, get a beginner's book on playing keyboards and/or hire a teacher. Do the lessons, practice, practice, practice.

>>247
Where the fuck are my keys?

247 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6860 19:35

>>246
On your keyboard.

>>248
What is your favorite thing about Touhou

248 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6860 19:51

>>247
Too... many... answers... aughhh

I'm going to have to go with the bullet patterns. Some of them in particular are absolutely beautiful, and they have the sort of beauty you can only appreciate by trying desperately to make it through them without dying. It's definitely not something you can get just by staring at screenshots.

>>249
Which Touhou character has your favourite hat?

249 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6860 22:26

>>248
I've always liked Marisa's spin on the cliched witch hat. Though the mopcaps that seem rather popular in Gensokyo are rather cute too so I suppose those come second.

>>250
What's your favorite vampire book?

250 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6861 05:49

>>249
Dracula

>>251
Who is your waifu? What does waifuism mean to you?

251 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6861 07:43

>>250

Ahiru from Princess Tutu. She's so kind, so beautiful, and so silly and childish that I just want to protect her. I think waifuism can be a lovely thing if you find that reality doesn't have what you want. But like any relationship, taking it too far is unhealthy.

>>252

Do you tan easily, or are you more likely to burn?

252 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6861 07:52

>>251
Usually, I neither tan nor burn, save for one isolated incident wherein part of my neck/chest ended up sunburnt. So I'd have to say I'm more likely to burn.

>>253
Would you please tell me about your favourite webcomic(s), if any?

253 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6861 08:29

>>252
Well now! I read way too many webcomics, so I couldn't really choose.

  • Three Word Phrase: my current favorite. It is consistent in making me chuckle, and it's rarely predictable.
  • Gunshow: A close second to the above for the same reasons.
  • NonCanon: Doesn't always make me laugh, but it has a knack for hitting uncomfortably close to home. The art is pretty good too.
  • Dinosaur Comics: used to be my favorite but lately hasn't been quite as funny, though still a good read.
  • Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal: As above, the older comics are much better, but new ones are still amusing.
  • A Softer World: Seems kind of pretentious until you realize how funny it is.

>>254
What are your opinions of the comics listed above?

254 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6861 12:32

>>253
Three Word Phrase: Good
Gunshow: Mixed, but tends to be fun
NonCanon: ??? I must read this!
Dinosaur Comics: It's something I read every day, I maybe laugh once a week :(
SMBC: Pretty good. I really like the videos.
A Software World: Mixed. I sometimes really like it.

>>253
Recommend a few webcomics that aren't on that list, wouldn't you? Can you tell us why they're worth reading, too?

255 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6861 18:12

>>254 I like Dueling Analogs webcomics because they make fun of many video games, and they have a "rejected Megaman robot master" comic on occasion.

256 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6861 18:13

>>256 I would like to know your favorite humorous cheat code in any video game.

257 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6861 18:57

>>256
The "enemies have big heads" cheat in Turok: Dinosaur Hunter.

>>258
If a movie was made about your life, who would play you?

258 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6861 19:08

>>257
Myself, I need the money.

>>258
Can you spare me a dime?

259 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6862 02:40

>>258
I just flushed a $10 bill down the toilet with the word DQN written on it.

>>260
What do you look like?

260 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6862 02:56

>>259
I took the first internet quiz I found on google for "what do you look like" and got this:
http://www.youthink.com/quiz_images/quiz300outcome3.jpg
The sad thing is the picture's not too far off, though my face is a little rounder. A while back I did a thing where you upload your face and get it matched to a celebrity. I got Cary Grant - I'd like to believe I'm that handsome but honestly it's pretty far off.

>>261
What kind of look do you find attractive?

261 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6862 03:25

>>260

Tall, lanky, glasses, tufty hair, bony hands

>>262

What kind of soap do you use?

262 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6862 11:01

>>261

The one they dropped in prison

>>262

Do you find it hard not to clench up your butt so a carrot like object could slide in easily?

263 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6862 12:01

>>262
Please don't talk to yourself about such lewd things.

>>264
Have you ever had a lucid dream?

264 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6862 22:26

>>263 I dreamed that I needed to pee badly, but the public toilet looked like it belonged in the movie Trainspotting. I then decided to hold it in.

>>265 What is your favorite version of the Pontiac Firebird?

265 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6863 09:45

>>264
I'm ignorant on the topic. None.

>>266
What does your semen taste like?

266 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6863 10:36

>>265 my fiancé said just yesterday actually how sweet my semen is, she likes it. So that's nice :3

>>277 Would you rather be a rabbit or a hare? nudge nudge wink wink

267 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6864 16:28

>>266
I'd be a moon rabbit and live in Gensokyo.
Boring aside: "fiancé" = man engaged to be married, "fiancée" = woman engaged to be married. But I guess that practice is dying out anyway.

>>268
Why is a cow?

268 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6864 16:45

>>267
Because moo.

>>269
I have an extremely dubious idea for a new thread. Should I go for it anyway?

269 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6864 17:00

>>267 oops yes I realised my mistake after I posted

>>268 Yes, always. I have a rule in my life that if I feel I'm going to do something and it might be dumb and I may regret it. do it really quickly before I have time to have second thoughts. I'm looking forward to seeing your thread!

>>270 What was special about your most impressive poop ever, one that you were proudest of?

270 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6864 18:08

>>269
Its shape and smoothness. Somehow I managed to curl it into a perfect circle on the near-horizontal part of the toilet bowl. I regret not having had access to a camera at the time, because the shape put me in mind of those zen calligraphy pictures adorning the walls of some Japanese restaurants I've visited, that consist of a freehand-drawn circle in a single brushstroke. I wish I remember what I'd eaten to make my poop that smooth. OK, I guess it's time to stop gushing and start asking a question.

>>271
Where would I be now if I had not decided to study Japanese all those years ago?

271 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6864 18:37

>>270

>gushing

delicious choice of phrase

Hmmm i'd need to know where you were all those years ago, you might be in the same place, or you might have used the time you spent learning Japanese on another language and be in that country, or on some other skill and you might be somewhere now using that skill, maybe even getting paid for it!

Well, >>272, what's your favourite food? It may seem like an unimaginative question but I'm genuinely interested.

272 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6864 20:55

>>271
I like bread.

>>273
Who is your favorite philosopher?

273 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6864 21:11

>>272
Currently it's Michael Schmidt-Salomon, mainly because he is the only philosopher whose work I have not only read excerpts from. He posits the intriguing view that morality is completely unnecessary, provided decisions about right and wrong can be made on the basis of ethics.

>>274
How can I avoid running out of patience when tidying up a very messy room? As it stands, I tend to get fed up and stop working after less than five minutes of sorting things into piles.

274 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6864 21:29

>>273 get yourself a timer. set it to five minutes; you are obligated to clean up as hard as you can during those five minutes, and obligated to stop when it stops ticking. When you get used to five, work your way up. If the mess is extreme, you can stop at about 15 minutes a day. Eventually, you will find that you have made solid progress and maybe even don't need to keep cleaning, circumstances depending (this time does not include other chores like vacuuming, dishwashing, dusting, etc.).

Unless you're like me and live with a packrat and an enabler and everything you clean out gets filled in with more crap.

>>275
What kinds of cheese would you recommend?

275 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6864 22:17

>>274
I really like Brie. It's creamy and buttery, and it goes with anything.
I made the mistake of substituting Parmesan with Cheddar in a carbonara yesterday. Didn't really work and it's not something I recommend. I might actually try using Brie, though.

>>276
What was the last thing you cooked, and how was it?

276 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6864 22:18

>>274 http://images.mysupermarket.co.uk/ProductsDetailed/22/074422.jpg I used to work in the factory as a cheese packer then as a quality inspector, it's very good

>>276 Have you ever fancied being the opposite sex?

277 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6864 23:51

>>275
The strawberry syrup from the recipe on the FoodWishes blog (whose URL is blacklisted on 4-ch for some reason). Quite pleasant, though far too sweet at the soda dilution ratios the recipe suggests. I would recommend 1 part syrup to at least 5 parts water.

>>276
A few times. When I was around five years old, I envied the greater range of clothing cuts available to girls (they get to wear skirts and trousers, and we only get the latter! Blatant sexism, I say!), and when I entered puberty, I learned that girls could have multiple orgasms and was envious once again. Also, girls looked better in long hair than I could pull off, and seemed to have much softer skin than me. That seemed like nice attributes to have. Then when I got a girlfriend, she told me about her excruciating period pains, and my envy subsided rather quickly.

>>277
Will there ever be a Kantian-style Enlightenment movement in Muslim nations? If so, what will the results look like?

278 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6865 17:40

>>277
I don't know about Kantian-style. The various populaces (in uprising or no) don't seem very clear that they want that, which is what it would really take for me to consider it a "movement". Their diverse home-grown attempts at any sort of philosophical rule includes lots of basket-case isms like Qutbism, Baathism, and Jamahirya. Even the few that found some modicum of success in democratic-ish ventures during the 20th century aren't looking too healthy at the moment, while at the same time a lot of these non-benevolent dictatorships have a huge shitstorm on their hands, even if they aren't in actual danger of losing power.

But I'm no expert, what the fuck do I know.

>>279
Well, what about head cheese?

Never tried it, don't plan on it.

What would you name your first child?

280 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6865 18:20

>>279
If it's a girl, I'm sorely tempted to go with Reimu, at least as a middle name because my wife would insist on a more common first name.

If it's a boy, I've always been partial to Eric. That would probably also be relegated to middle name, though, because my wife and I are planning to give any children we have completely androgynous first names. Haven't decided on any specific first names yet, though.

How long would a strictly secularist world government last if it were somehow established within the next year?

Cassandra. Even if it's a boy.

If you were given three wishes, what would the second one be?

No way to know on that virtue of it alone.

Power (first would be intelligence, last would be wisdom)

Woo! Free question!

>>284
Do you think there is a future for the Euro? If so, what needs to change in order for it to happen?

284 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6866 02:40

>>283 No. For a common currency area to work, people need to be able to pack up and move to another part of the area without much difficulty - which is difficult when its constituent states have different languages and cultures. The states need to be politically stable and represented equally to some degree so its citizens don't resent the federal government. The economies of each state in the area should have about the same composition or wealth so monetary policy never has to exacerbate problems in one economy while helping in another. Also, its constituent states need to be willing to make unconditional sacrifices for other states in need, or at least be reasonable about their demands.

>>285 How do I find weed dealers in my area?

I hear you can find anything on Craigslist. Or make friends with people and go to parties, drug users know how to find drugs.

>>286
How tall are you?

286 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6866 07:52

176 cm, which Google informs me is 5 feet 9 19⁄64 inches. What a quaint measurement system!

>>287
Do you think the USA will completely abandon the principle of separation of church and state within your lifetime? If so, when, and if not, to what extent will it be further eroded?

287 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6875 16:19

>>286
It seems improbable. The US public grows a bit less religious with every passing generation. Short of wholesale demographic changes involving the rapid displacement of the native population by imported groups who are vastly more religious (cough Eurabia cough Sharia law cough) it seems unlikely.

>>288
Doesn't this sort of talk make you feel hopeless?

What has been the most exciting thing to happen to you today?

My friend cooked up an awesome 5AM dinner, then busted out her hookah so we could smoke and eat while watching Cowboy Bebop.

What, in your opinion, are the values and considerations by which everyone ought to conduct themselves?

290 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6875 22:49

>>289
I believe that people must take responsibility for the results of their actions. I also believe that Kant doesn't get enough respect today when we speak of ethics. I believe that you must become the change you want to see in the world. By this I mean that you are obligated to practice the virtues you wish to see become more common. If you want to live in a world in which people speak the truth, this obliges you to be truthful and forthright in all your dealings with others, for example.

What's a pre-1990 computer game that you heartily recommend?

292 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6876 05:57

>>291
Elite from 1984, though several improved versions for other hardware were not released until 1991-1993. One of the original game's two creators even put up downloads of various versions on his website, along with emulation suggestions!

>>293
What is your opinion on the official shiptoasting thread? Does or will it bring about a noticeable change in quality in other /dqn/ threads, and if do, are these changes positive or negative?

293 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6876 06:10

>>292
I hate it, and I wish I could go away. If you really can't resist shitposting, fuck off /dqn/ and go somewhere else you children

>>294
What is your opinion on MMOs? Do you play any?

294 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6876 06:30

>>293
I started out with Ultima Online back in 2001/02, got bored of it only two years later though. I never played any MMO on its official servers since, but I did play some WoW on a free private server (back when Burning Crusade was the most recent expansion, way before <Lv.20 characters became free to play) with increased drop and XP rates. The main reason I stopped playing was getting back into university after two years of NEET status. I have not played any other MMOs before or since that, though I've watched my brother play Everquest 2, Star Wars Galaxies, City of Heroes and a handful of others whose titles I've forgotten. He doesn't seem to stick to one game for very long and prefers to just use up the free trial periods, never to return. His EQ2 and SWG accounts were slightly more long-lived, though.

>>295
Since >>293 only answered one of >>292's questions, would you mind picking up the slack? Does or will [the official shiptoasting thread] bring about a noticeable change in quality in other /dqn/ threads, and if so, are these changes positive or negative?

295 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6876 06:51

>>294
The only noticeable change I've seen is people complaining about it in other threads. The actual shitposters either don't realize or don't care that their posts are shit. The only purpose that thread serves is an outlet for people to make ironically bad posts.

Anyway, I think it's fruitless to try to dictate the content people post on the internet. Some forums try to do so with heavy moderation, it's elitist quality! But it never works too well in practice. The best thing to do is ignore the bad posts and bump quality threads with quality posts of your own.

>>296
What's your favorite internet community (either currently or in your past internet history)?

296 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6876 08:22

>>295
The comment board on Userfriendly.org used to be my favourite hangout from early 2001 to 2003\friendly posters, witty banter, light-handed moderation based on the rule-of-thumb of "don't post what you wouldn't like your friend's 14-year-old sister to see", and even politics trolls dealt with in level-headed discussion. I spent so much time there that my parents' phone bill went through the roof several times until they got a flat-rate internet service (ah, the days of pay-by-minute dial-up Internet). Then I got too busy with studies to visit more than once every few months, much less comment, and when I got more free time and came back, I discovered the place had turned into a hive of oversensitive whiners, right-wingers who got offended as soon as their perceptions were challenged, and moderators who had banned several of the most interesting posters. Most of the other interesting people I had come to regard as friends had left in protest shortly after the first bannings. The exiles formed a small LiveJournal community which I also joined, but it never really was anywhere near as good as it had been on the comment board.
Currently, it's a toss-up between /dqn/ and the regulars in the Vocaroo threads on 4chan's /soc/. Speaking of which, woo yay, 4chan's back up!

>>297
Do you use social networking sites for work-related reasons, privately, both, or neither? If your answer isn't "neither", post your impressions of the communities you've seen and/or joined there!

297 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6876 09:35

>>296 Kinda both, for a long time it was mainly to talk to my girlfriend (long distance relationship) but now she's moved in with me, she's deleted her facebook. A couple of my good friends have deleted theirs as well, so there's not much else I use it for. My partner in my own small business has moved to another city so we keep in touch about work on it, and a facebook group is kinda the main base of operations for a Miku hologram concert team I'm part of (I play bass). I have over 500 friends on it, real people that I know and like irl, but every day I realise how little I care for what most of them have to say, and usually a casual glance at the main stream just annoys me.

>>298 How do you feel about image macros becoming mainstream, and generally just being called "memes" by regular people whether they actually are what we'd call "memes" or not?

298 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6876 12:13

>>297 I can't really get really either upset or excited about it. "Normal" people have been laughing at "lolcat" pictures for a while now, haven't they?

>>299 Will you attempt to post twice in order to seize the 300GET?

What is your least favourite genre of music?

300 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6876 12:22

>>299 Probably metal, I used to like it but I grew out of it and it just seems so silly to me, and metalheads annoy me for the most part

You >>300 GET lucky and win a massive amount of money, what do you do with it?
