Hocus Pocus

a bratwurst and a salted caramel rootbeer

Not sure.... I've been gaming as long as I can remember, though my first systems were Gameboy and NES, so probably Super Mario Brothers or Tetris or something

What I lack in bravery of pressing my luck, I make up for in patience. Whatever I have to gain, I will gain it slowly and steadily, eventually, I'll catch up to where a more fast-paced, but reckless plan would get me to, but the difference is I won't be risking losing it.

Oh no.... Oh no oh no oh no... How ironic, that a thread on an mlp forum would forever damn my soul to....

There are people who pour the milk first?!?!?! degenerate heathens! .... then again, I squeeze my ketchup over top of my fries, soooo....

I used to, but now I'm paranoid of someone else hearing, even if I'm home alone, so while I may whisper to myself every now and again, my anxiety doesn't let me speak out loud anymore.

sadly no :c it was on my parent's old computer and that crashed and burned a long time ago...

Spore was a fun time-killer Didn't really get to play a bunch of it, but I liked what I got to experience. I made a race of armless, legless, eyeless winged blobs. They were kinda like extremely aggressive giant flying blue peanuts with tusks.... And believe me, you did NOT want to see those things charge.... it was disturbing watching them just kinda scoot towards their prey at such incredible speed... The only thing I really added to them was a tribal mask, so by the end game, they were peanut-shaped blobs with shaman masks above horrible razor-sharp teeth-filled savage mouths with tusks protruding from either side flying around the galaxy, slowly taking it over through brute military force. They were war-mongers, and eliminated or enslaved planet after planet.... even the grox decided it was best to stay neutral towards them after a while....

I regularly lurk on 4chan..... once a friend even convinced me to post an embarrassing story as a greentext on /b/

closed, to give me warning of when something wants to come into my room, like a monster.... .... or worse....

oh, sweet Celestia, I'm gonna get backlash for saying I disliked this... Now let me tell you a little story about my experience with this game when I first picked it up... Everyone telling me I'd love it because, growing up with an NES, I like hard games Everyone praising its story, gameplay, character development, rewarding challenge, boss design, and just about everything about this game under the grossly incandescent sun People building it up to be an unparalelled game in difficulty and in rewarding game play People saying that whenever you die, you feel like it's your fault, not the game's Now here's what happened when I actually started playing A camera that is a tougher enemy than any boss the game had to throw at me Absolutely atrocious hit-boxes (and that's an understatement) Online that sometimes worked, sometimes didn't, depending on how the game felt that day A menu system that flat out lies to you (Yes, I'm talking about that worthless ring that everyone is tricked into taking over that incredibly useful key) Enemy placement made to frustrate rather than challenge (Let's put enemies in a narrow hallway, so that even if you lock-on, it's still a throw of the dice whether your weapon decides to clip through the wall and hit the enemy, or bounces off the wall and leave you vulnerable for 7 enemies to gang up and kill you) Shoddy game design (check out that solid 15 fps, what's that? You want to use a thrusting weapon in the sewers? Well guess what, half the time, your thrust will sail over the heads of small enemies like rats without damaging them! How about we make the only item you can use to call for help in a tough area extremely limited unless you fork over the cash for the DLC? This boss isn't hard enough, how about we just throw more than one boss out so that its impossible to ever truly be safe when fighting it, and no matter how skilled you are, another guy can just come out of nowhere and take away over half your health bar in one swing? WOW! That worked great! Let's do that trick again later, only make the two bosses different, so the player will have to deal with twice the variety of attacks that are impossible to dodge if they want to actually fight the boss!) And when the game wasn't unfairly cheap, it was too bloody easy! All you have to do is strafe behind a black knight, back stab or riposte it with starter gear, and take its weapon. If it doesn't drop its weapon, that's fine, you get 3 different chances before you've even reached the first Mcguffin bell, which many people argue is practically still part of the tutorial! I had enough resources granted to me from the first 2 real levels to fully upgrade that weapon, and destroyed even bosses in a number of swings I can count on one hand until I reached the late game! In short, I had heard too much praise about the game, but heard nothing of its glaring issues and shortcomings, which completely ruined my first playthrough for me. I felt that a good 25% of the deaths I had from my first playthrough were due to the bad design choices listed earlier in this list... But once I learned how to avoid the game's bullcrap and once the game finally caught up to my damage output in the new game plus, I've been having a lot more fun with it.... It's a good game to me, and I'm genuinely enjoying my time with it now, but I still stand by my belief that if the design of a game rather than the difficulty of a game is something a player has to "get used to", then people should have every right to call it out on its problems, and label it as a bad game, because in truth, it was objectively poorly designed... Does that mean it can't be fun? Of course not! Dark Souls is LOADS of fun once you get into it, but its the fact that players have to "git gud" at avoiding the game's poor design before they can have an opportunity to "git gud" at the game's actual mechanics that keeps it from really being a GREAT game... (And I know how blasphemous it is to say it, but I found Dark Souls 2 to be a better game objectively because it succeeded on these basic foundational and mechanical fronts where its predecessor had failed) All this being said, however, I praise Dark Souls on its ability to make a fun game (even if it takes a while to get used to the game before it can be fun) and more importantly, a successful game that caters to an underfed audience that the AAA Industry typically wouldn't want to touch with a 49 and a half foot pole. My appreciation for what Dark Souls proved as a game far outweighs any shortcomings it may have had, and makes me look upon the game with favor.

I mean, we all technically have an accent, mine is an American accent with a tad of midwestern thrown in. I tend to put heavy emphasis on the first vowel of a word, and draw vowels in general out longer than most other regions do. While it isn't a problem in English, it does make it rather difficult for people with my accent to attempt to learn fast-speaking languages, such as Japanese (especially with the only difference between the word "no" (iie) and the word "house" (ie) being how long you draw out the "i" in its pronunciation) As for speech impediments, while I do not naturally have any, my nightly retainer gives me a slight lisp when I wear it which when my friends notice I'm wearing it, they try to get me to say as many words with "s" in it as possible, because they think its funny or cute or something. Aaaand finally, as for how often I lose my train of thought and digress from the topic at hand... I have ADHD.... I think you can take a wild guess

Oh my.... My sense of humor is.... err, a little beyond what I feel the mods would tolerate... so I'll just say "The Aristocrats" and let that speak for itself

granted, but you cannot return to Earth, and you start in the den of an extremely aggravated and hungry ursa major. I wish nobody else got any wishes

XD I'd be the kind of person that would work around the rules and try to find any loopholes possible. I can't wish for more wishes...? Well, I wish I could wish for more wishes I can't do that either? Well, then I wish for more genies that still have to grant my wishes After ticking off a genie like that, it would probably be best to make my first wish "I wish none of my wishes will ever backfire on me and will function in the way I intend them to." Well, if I absolutely had to play by the rules, my three wishes would probably be as follows To have the body I've always wanted To have the house I've always wanted with no taxes or upkeep needed To have the superpowers I've always wanted Superheroes are overworked? pfff, that's only if I choose to go out looking to help literally everyone in the world. I'll know to take breaks.... and by take breaks, I mean use them as a toy and not really ever do the whole "vigilante justice" thing.
