i like thinking about establishing alliances and shifting alliances and fighting over territory for reasons other than simply controlling the world. that's cool.
that's why i like Risk and GXC. but they're not as good on the "for reasons other than simply controlling the world" bit.
okay, let's be honest here, burgundy, people +1 and -1 stuff in that game based on what they like and dislike. it's pretty simple, but there's definitely a pattern. there are other patterns that also play into this (among them are dogpiling as well as contrarianism) as well.
but so basically it's sort of a mark of coolness for something to be upvoted a lot.
so it feels nice if something you like gets upvoted a lot.
okay, i can't say for sure about you, but it feels nice for me if something I like gets upvoted a lot.
so i automatically start strategizing to get stuff i like upvoted. or to try to make things turn out the way i want them to. like, it happens automatically.
and we all do that. just that we don't usually talk about this out loud or think it through to this depth or log our thoughts in internet postings.
All the nerds I talk to seem to share my opinion that it's terrible, and who the hell besides nerds is using Ubuntu?
Unity as in the game engine? Unity is widely considered to be the best free (well, semi-free) game engine available. A lot of people also like it a good deal better than UDK, which is paid.

Yeah but like that doesn't actually matter in the long run.
Like if something gets upvoted there a lot people aren't going to start saying it.
I mean hell nobody says anything about sea urchins except me, really, and that in-joke has long transcended the boundaries of this website (see my latest post in the "The Northernlion Story" thread).

You are taking this so very seriously.
It's a game in which people give and remove points from things that they find funny, not some vast battle of wills or a world champion chess match.
ALSO Sredni, Mari Funami (The Sea Urchin Lass) is actually from YuruYuri.
Mari (まり?) is the daughter of one of Yui's relatives who often visits Yui. She is a fan of Mirakurun, though does not take kindly to Chinatsu after learning her personality doesn't match her image. Her favorite food is sea urchin and she is very smart for her age.

I knew that it was one of the Yu-series in that vein.

Mari only shows up in two episodes of the anime and a few areas in the manga.
She's so very minor a character, but she's cute and random in a way that is not typical internet random, so I find her admirable.

Yeah, I know.
But i'm just saying that it's tempting to take it seriously.
Not everything is a secret war, Glenn. Let these things go and you will be a happy man.
It's not that I'm not letting it go. I am letting it go.
Even when I "take it seriously" I'm not actually taking it seriously in the sense of "it is important to me". It's more like "this is more fun than I first thought because now i have a strategic goal to try to achieve and stuff in this game" and "crap, now i'm wasting time thinking too much about it".
funny idea of the moment: a snowclone forum game called "hurl and heat".
unfortunately i have no idea what sort of game this would be. it would have to be sufficiently similar to the hurt and heal game, but also distinctively different. that's the rule of how to make an ideal snowclone.

Someday Anonus and I are going to kiss on the beach by the ocean
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
I admit, it made me kind of sad to see Ai To Yuuki Harukanaru Toki No Asobi Ni Iku Ginga Sengoku Ninomiya-kun Rokubou No Shichinin Gensou die in that thread

It's just that you word everything in a way that makes you sound super-cereal-serious and seem to project motives onto other people in a way that comes off as a little presumptuous.
Not that reading it in that way isn't amusing, but you have to recognise that it's a bit like synching The Wizard of Oz to Dark Side of the Moon: Pure, self-conscious fanwank that happens to sort of work.

I like sea urchin but that doesn't seem to hold water either

maybe not consciously or to the organized extent that i make it sound like.
but simple things like "i want this teacher to write me a good rec letter so I want to do well in her class". that's an example.
I also like Mega Milk but I didn't make that one up either
yeah, i know. well, the rational part of me knows that.
the emotional part still enjoys blowing it out of proportion and making it a game.
It's just not anything more significant than a game.
But i'm just saying that it's tempting to take it seriously.
By contrast, sea urchins are ubiquitous.
She's so very minor a character, but she's cute and random in a way that is not typical internet random, so I find her admirable.
six and a half minutes in.

ever just feel like some musicians have too much time on their hands
which also has a terrific season one theme song.
let me get this straight
Ai To Yuuki Harukanaru Toki No Asobi Ni Iku Ginga Sengoku Ninomiya-kun Rokubou No Shichinin Gensou died in it, as did my love for breasts.
Fuck you guys. The hell with all of you, forever
