You're too erotic, Rachel!

My god, it's full of flowers!
why does have peenis and anus, not peenis and poopis?

Such a pity we couldn't pursue the liberal arts degree. It would waste skill points, one can only ponder the meaning of life after that.
On the second thought, this inability to get higher education hits even closer to home. Perhaps, even too close.

everyone is terrible
Your humanity will only drag you down.

HI ANDREW
SAoVQ is fucking garbage now, and it makes me just a little sad.
>>920
You'd think as DQN I should feel vindicated but really I just feel like I imagine they did in the USA after the collapse of the USSR. I didn't want it to end, at least not like this, with our old rival dying drowning in their own shit. It should be more dignified. Someone should take SAoVQ out behind the barn and just put an end to it, I can't bear to watch.
takes a look at the most recent threads of SAoVQ
It looks exactly like here to me, about the only "worse" I can see about it is more "HURR JEWS ARE EVIL" posts than here.
>>920,921
I know what you mean. I remember long ago DQN went through a rocky period when a certain obscure Touhou character impersonator became a regular poster, but that problem mercifully solved itself given time. I've been telling myself that SAoVQ is in a similar situation, and that, besides, quality of discussion in a community naturally waxes and wanes, but I really am starting to wonder.
I haven't entirely lost hope though, and nor should you. It's worth taking a look through our own archives to remind us of our humble origins, and worth reading some of the older threads on SAoVQ to see what wonders they once created as the norm. I'm no longer convinced SAoVQ can solve its own problems, but if it were offered a clean slate - if, for instance, it went down for an extended period of time then was brought back online once all but the most dedicated had given up on it - I think it could return to its former glory.
This is no empty promise: you should remember that the current posters make low quality posts simply because they find it enjoyable; they have no emotional investment in the website or community, so however vocal they may be they should be easily lost. Furthermore, there is a sense of inertia in post quality; a single insightful post in a terrible discussion is easily overlooked and drowned out, as is a single poor post in an otherwise great thread. If SAoVQ were to start over, and start well, it should easily rise from the ashes.
>>922
I really don't know what to say to you.
text boards about anime and yellow fever are so fucking serious oh my god
At least it isn't my fault when a text board stabs itself in the back.
Dear internet,
Please make more Death Grips AMVs.
>>920-923
It seems like SAoVQ was colonized by shitposters from wherever it is that keeps screaming about all that social justice feminism gamergate crap. I'm sick of hearing about either side of it but some
belligerently awful posters seem to have made it their life's goal to spread it to every messageboard they can.
>>927
Stop talking about it and they'll go away.
Your post mentions it, which isn't helping.
I'm wondering about this chicken-egg problem: did our wonderful game master start those threads having chosen his role – or were they born from the chaos of silliness and found the master to sculpt and shape them as they went on?
>>923
What would be objective criteria to measure quality of a board?
Surely, a good grammar of its inhabitants (or even a courtesy of holding "Shift" for a moment and pressing "." key occasionally) makes posts more readable.
Perhaps following the example of radio operators and avoiding religion, politics, sex, business and ethnicity would make conversations mostly inoffensive. But where is the fun in that? Ham operators estimate each others sound quality and talk about weather and antennas... a bit of small talk if they know each other personally. It's a balance between dull politeness and dull offensiveness. I wouldn't expect a level of wit comparable to, say, Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett from an average board-goer. The mindset that strives for "fun on the go", that chooses a quick pun, an offensive jab over a well-thought response, a smirk over a smile is at least partly to blame on the media that constantly regurgitate these topics.
How important are some board's traditions? Reading archives can be really fun, but would an attempt of emulating the fragmentary brilliance of past to be entertaining? Certainly, some aspects are important for keeping things comfortable for both new and old users.
But if "SAoVQ went to shit", yet the majority of its occupants are happy and rolling with it... did it really? Or did you outgrow it, did you lose the sense of belonging there? Though it might be merely a single unfortunate link that attracted some curious posters.
>>929
We throw poop at each other and have a giggle about that because we aren't serious.
>I'm wondering about this chicken-egg problem: did our wonderful game master start those threads having chosen his role – or were they born from the chaos of silliness and found the master to sculpt and shape them as they went on?
It seems to me like the grinding noises thread was more of the former and the amnesia thread was more of the latter.
>I wouldn't expect a level of wit comparable to, say, Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett from an average board-goer.
those guys are awful and i'm glad this board isn't anything like them
Maybe it's for the best that I don't have a little sister.
>>936
Depends, are they cute and affectionate? Will they greet me with a warm embrace when I come home? Will they call me Onii-chan?
>>934
No, they are accomplished writers. I'm not saying that "millions of people can't be wrong", but these guys managed to create some great comedy without turning to tastelessness and toilet humour.
>>938
I wrote walls of text well past my already fucked up bed time. Not re-reading them – I'm easily embarrassed.
penis
>>941 I didn't realize it wasn't until you pointed it out.
I want accomplished writer older sisters to step on my penis and make mean jokes about me.
I can't believe Freeman's Mind is about to end.
I thought for awhile that your poignant smile
Was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me
Ah yes, I was wrong
Again, I was wrong
american hot sauces tend to have too much vinegar
Relevant to confessional thread discussion: I read somewhere that the name "Uranus" actually breaks the convention of the planets being named for Roman deities; Uranus derives from Greek and the Roman version would, supposedly, be Caelus.

But the guy who wrote lyrics for "Suicide is painless" was 14.

i think socialism and fascism have diverged quite a bit in perception and ideology since wwii. rejection of eugenics, for instance.
Who /sad/ here?
>>954
do you mean there's a text board for /sad/ people or is this something else.
>>947
someone I know was complaining about this the other day but I disagree, I like vinegar.
>>955
At first, Who /*/ here'' was a semi-memetic way of asking if people on a certain site or board browsed another board, but then it became Who /keyword or adjective/ here'' because catchphrases evolve and are used for different things over time.
``Who /sad/ here'' really means "Anyone else here sad? I want to find out if I can relate to the people on this board."
>>957 in that case I am pretty /sad/ most of the time. Sometimes iyashi-kei gives me comfort. Do you like iyashi?
My puny human brain is simply not equipped to deal with this.
>>877
It's an interesting point, actually. Surely, supreme leaders of DPRK come from a single family, but if the rest of its governing structure follows USSR's "soviets" then it's rather democratic.
People there could participate in the political system through various public organisations and unions ranging from local to "central". Lower tiers could "elect" their activists to higher ones. This article probably explains it much better: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_democracy
So, it was possible to work your way through the system to the top, but you would probably have to be a giant backstabbing douche to accomplish this. But isn't politics just like this everywhere?
"I love you like a chocolate waterfall" sounds really kinky.
My brain is expanding out of control.
i wanna eat some pills
Watching a Youtube-famous guy play some game you never heard of, and seeing in it some throwaway graphics from an abandoned project that you slapped up on OpenGameArt a couple years ago is kind of a weird feeling.
I wish the Post Office worked.
Now I'm at the point where I can see the gaps in the bullets and exactly where I should be moving to but it's like my hands can't keep up with my brain. Which just makes it all the more frustrating when I die to stupid shit.
>>972
Not as self-important as you, Psuedointellectual-snob-tan.
>>975
How can you be so sure that he's a "tan"? You're pretty pretentious for saying "tan" instead of "chan"!

Moe anthropomorphism pseudointellectual-snob-tan is my waifu.
I feel like I have to reevaluate my entire conception of what reality is just by knowing that I live in a universe in which that exists.
I am absolutely, completely and utterly alone.
i feel hung over today... but not too badly. i wonder if i can get my caffeine tolerance back.
Too many snobbish people here.
I still imagine Cassandra looking kind of like Beatrice from Umineko.

Is (*ﾟーﾟ) supposed to be a kind of midly amused smug half-grinning? Or is it more like a flat, unamused tight-lipped face? It depends what font you use.

Yeah, it's sort of a sans-serif thing. The emoji is supposed to be Shii and she is usually depicted with Mona Lisa-like smile.
>>988 aha I get it "Mona" Lisa and that is like the font "Mona" ahaha
New thread on the new year? The timing seems too appropriate to miss.
But that's simply how things are now.
It's Commie Christmas.
Google's doodle is stupid today.
Sit down and give up.
I'm going to die sad, unloved, unaccomplished, and alone. On my death bed I will be filled with regret, thinking of all the things I wanted to do but never did. I'll think of all the people I could have befriended if only I wasn't an awkward and anxious loser.
Happy new year! Maybe this year will be different. Hahahahaha yeah right.
Sometimes I worry that everyone else is hyper-intelligent, but they just hide it because they're too modest. And I'm just completely retarded and don't realize it. It's like when mentally challenged people in special education get gold stars and praise from their teachers for doing a good job. They think they're smart and performing well. They have no idea that they're retarded. I worry that I'm like that.
Well I'm not going to end it. Go on, you do it.
Ok
