It's not exactly humming or singing that's weird. It's judged on a case by case basis.

One of my housemates is obsessed with singing and thus sings and hums throughout the entire day as loudly as possible. He is the sort of guy that will break into humming and singing in the middle of a conversation or a car ride. It sure doesn't help his case that he's bad at it. Hell, that might be the most important thing to consider here. I've had classmates that were a delight to listen to, but this guy makes me want to poison his ramen
I like whistling.
Whistling is cool when you're the one doing it, but when you're listening to someone else whistle it just sounds annoying.

All those gifs made my tablet crash, thank you very much.

And btw, the summer ended several months ago, so...

Depends on what you define as summer

No, it depends on what side of the hemisphere you live you ignorant retards.
It's still summer in the North and it'll end near the end of September.

I guess I've been doing everything in my own timezone, even the part with when summer ends. I've been suspecting some people getting my posts the day after when I am supposed to post. Such as posting around eleven PM but then to some people they get it around one AM. Oh, and I also understand that summer officially starts and ends at different times depending on the equinox and solstice of the sun on the hemisphere you live.

Bear with me and let this end on September 22nd.

The game "Until Dawn" seems pretty cool. Always like those type of games where almost every decision you make is able to change the outcome of a scene and ending. There's also the fact that it is a survival horror game, which is right up my alley.

Speaking of horror, does anyone have any phobias? If you don't mind talking about it.

I'm personally afraid of black/very dark blue water. Which generally means deep water. It can also mean like a 3 foot deep pool in a dimly lit room, I just hate the combination of darkness and water. It's strange because I'm not particularly afraid of the dark, and I am also able to swim. It just feel disturbed and have this nagging feeling of death where my skin starts to crawl, I start to feel something inside where I want to panic and just go as far away as possible from the source. I can't even do it in video games, if you make me go swim in deep water when it's dark in the game I just want to exit the game out of fear.
As cool as it sounds to other people to be in some kind of exploration submarine really deep in water, that'd be the last thing on earth that I would be at.

I also don't like whales, or rather fear whales. Put me in a tank with a dolphin, I'm good. Put me in a tank with a whale, I'll probably flail about and drown even though I can swim pretty good. There's just something I can't put my finger on, whales just scare the fuck out of me. If I was on some kind of kayak and a whale showed up, I would shit myself and cry like a baby. I wouldn't dare trying to be in water with one, I would faint if it rubbed me. I'd be totally fine to be on a cruiser ship and there was a whale.. except that I'd probably be away from the railings. If there was such a thing as flying whales, I would never go outside ever again. Also something about their "singing" just creeps me out, like some kind of moan of dread.

My friends always tell me that I'm just scared of any living thing that is more than ten times bigger than myself. Maybe it's some kind of protective instinct that I gained from my distant ancestors that saved them in the past. I shudder at the thought of what my ancestors experienced in dark waters.

Giraffs, Elephants, giant squids, dinosaurs... say what if cats were the size of whales? OwO

I'm scared of deep, dark water as well. Mainly because you don't know what could be under you; the sea can be a scary place to swim.

But whales are cool ;_;

Checked out a game called Toribash. It's kind of hard to learn how to play, but I got to become a yellow belt in a day. So far I'm pretty good at doing the kicking opening moves (My balance can get pretty bad though sometimes), and also aerial fights.

So far the current goals I've got in osu! are:
Reach a five thousand play count, and get a ranked score of one billion.

I've tried Toribash in the past and dear god I could not do anything for the life of me

It's a really unique game but wayyyyy over my head

Yo. In my area I'll be starting school on September 2nd, Wednesday. All posts after that date will most likely be made during the evenings so it will basically be the same as usual, or otherwise will be posted at night if busy.

How do some of you guys see space? As in, do you think there is some kind of end to it? I know there are some people who actually think it has some kind of ending. It is hard for me to think about if there is an ending somewhere for it. I personally think that once reaching far enough into space, like an unimaginable distance; that you'll be warped all the way to the opposite side of space of where you are. So if you kept going in a straight line you'll basically be in some kind of loop if that makes sense. But of course the size of space is so large you could call it infinite because it'll almost be impossible to reach the undetectable warp I was talking about. What about you?
Mahogany
I personally don't think it's worth thinking about space too hard. The limitations of space aren't going to be relevant to us as a race for a long, long time, and you'll just confuse yourself by thinking about it. I prefer to think about more relevant things xd

My Mother was going out the door to go grocery shopping today and she asked me if I had wanted anything. I was thinking that I wanted a snack so I said that I wanted some Cheez-It's and this is what I received:



Whenever I look at knock offs/copies of the snack products that I eat, I sometimes wonder why do people even do it. I don't really see it as a "Honest way to earn money". Especially if it's not an individual doing it, but a company where everyone in it acknowledges that it is basically a copy of something that already exists.
Railey2
what why not honest? Theres a demand, and they feed the demand with a product that is heavily inspired by another product. It's not like theres some top-tier industry-espionage going on, where All of Our Snack Crackers stole the secret recipe of Cheez-It's. That would be dishonest.

The end of Summer is near, and so is school for those of that age. Looks like my osu! goals will be slowed down when the time comes, but I can predict I'll have a better ranking and also higher level before winter begins. Or at least, I'd like that.

Since this topic will be ending soon, and that I'll also be a lot busier during the school days. Maybe I should talk about my personal experiences with osu! so far.
If you're currently reading this, maybe you could possibly share something of yours similar to what I am doing below.

____

From the beginning, I had found about this game mainly because I was searching up some anime opening themes to listen to. Searching their title names. From what I remember, that's how I stumbled upon a game play of osu!. I was interested to say the least, even though the game play isn't exactly "stunning" if compared to many of the other video games out there. I guess I was just interested mainly because of the many "anime themes" surrounding the game and community. Well if you had an interest in anime beforehand, you'd likely be intrigued by what the game offers; no?

I never really was the type of person to look up "Help/Tip Guides" on Google or Youtube when getting into a new game. I kind of understood what to do, I mean I played that really short and slow osu! tutorial beatmap that everyone at least has played once. I vaguely remember actually how difficult the easy/normal beatmaps were, and myself getting an average of 80-85% accuracy. I do remember somewhere on the inside of feeling some kind of accomplishment once I could get a 90%+ accuracy with Hard Rock. I thought I was starting out pretty good about a week or so after starting. That changed when I tried multiplayer for the first time.

I remember trying out multiplayer for the first time, I would generally just look for room titles saying that it'll play mainly easy to normal beatmaps. I felt that one emotion, you know when you play single player and you think you're doing pretty good by your own standards. Then when you go do some multiplayer you just don't do as well as you thought you could (Excluding the slight pressure of multiplayer). As of right now, one of the biggest things that bring me back to playing osu! is that feeling of winning first or second place in multiplayer.

When I got to the point where I could 98%+ easy and normal beatmaps, and also started doing somewhat decent on hard difficulties. I used to be that one guy who would go join those easy to normal difficulty multiplayer rooms. Just to have that feeling of crushing those who do not have the same experience as I do. If anyone is reading this post this far, I suggest never doing this kind of thing. I stopped once I actually thought about what I was doing and realized that it wasn't really pushing me forward in the game. It actually stops your progress in getting better, or sometimes even can make your performance lower a bit for reasons I can't really explain well. I replaced that habit of doing those things in multiplayer by mainly forcing myself to not do it anymore. From where I am now, I don't think I would be as good if I were still the same. Although I can't exactly say I'm really good at the game anyway.

The point where most of my fun in osu! started to spike up was when I started to get into insane difficulty beatmaps. There's something in osu! that you just can't get in other games. The feeling of doing multiple jumps successfully, or doing a stream pretty well. The feeling when you beat one of your own local high scores, or when that beatmap that used to be really difficult for you in the past is easy for you now. Such as when a beatmap that used to feel fast or overwhelming, now feels as if it is somewhat slower and you can get a better grasp on it. The best thing in this game is that progress, is something that is noticeable easily. The progress of getting better and exceeding what you thought you could do, the player can easily understand once he/she has overcome some borders.

I could continue this, but if anyone lives near the area I do. They know it's pretty late and I've also taken some time into thinking and writing this post. It's about time I go have some shut-eye. I've also got to get back into somewhat of a regular sleep routine since the school year is starting up.

All in all, see you all on Wednesday. Although I don't really know how many people actually pay attention to this topic.

I personally found out about this game through League, as have many other players, although I never really played League. I've had 2 week-long spurts of trying to like that game in my life, and it never worked. However, during the second week-long spurt, someone posted about the game on a message board, saying it made you better at League. I really didn't care, but I checked out the game anyways, and I found out it was a rhythm game.

I've always loved rhythm games. Always. But I've always been terrible at them because they were always too difficult to learn. Osu was incredibly simple to learn. The rest was kinda just history. One thing I can thank is my country for not having enough people good at games in it smh. Someone of my skills can get rank 4 in Ireland, pfft. At least it was a great source of motivation when I was ranking.

I agree, there is nothing that matches the satisfaction of hitting jumps or streams perfectly.

A few years ago I saw my brother playing osu!. I tried a bit, but I absolutely sucked, despite my liking for rhythm games.

A few years later I was spinning in my swivel chair, tired of having to pay for good games. As time passed I thought "hmmm, maybe I should play osu!". And that decision is what led me here.
I made my own osu! account in the middle of winter last year. Right away after I created my account I was able to play 3 star maps. I played other games like Ouendan and Elite Beat Agents, but they cannot beat osu!. In no other rhythm game are you going to feel the success of FCing a beatmap. In no other rhythm game are you going to feel the satisfaction of a jump combo. In no other rhythm game are you going to feel the stress upon your fingers after a stream.

Thank you ppy.

So, what anime are you guys currently looking out for or watching? Here's a small list of mine right now.

Baby Steps 2nd Season (Has finished the first season)
Ore Monogatari!!
Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri
Non Non Biyori Repeat (Already watched the first season)
Hunter x Hunter 2011 (I've already watched the original that first aired in 1999)
Great Teacher Onizuka
Chi's Sweet Home: Chi's New Address (KITTEHS!)

What about you? If you don't mind me asking.

You don't have to talk about your favorite anime of all time if you don't want to. I know that in some cases that some people have two number ones.
My favorite anime series is Hajime no Ippo, and I hope they continue where they left off. There's content left in the manga that they can use. The interesting thing is that the manga is still publishing, or basically ongoing somehow. Maybe the current situation is that they are waiting for more content to be released before starting the next season in Hajime no Ippo. Now that I think about it more, isn't the manga around twenty six years old now? I hope the author finishes up before they retire. :cry:

George, you're forty nine years old. Finish Hajime no Ippo manga soon please. :cry:

]First weekend of the school year for me! My parents say they want me to get a job. Since I'm at the right age, I actually have been thinking about it. But I don't exactly feel the need to do one. But then again, I want money. But then again, I don't like the idea of doing work. GAH!!

Anyone here that is a working adult, or working teenager? What kind of job do you have and what do you do. How much do you get paid per hour, and do you like it? Is there anything that you're trying to save up for, or are you just using your money on necessities right now? I'd be nice to have somewhat of an idea on what the "job" world feels like from someone who has experience in it.

Now that I think about it.. I don't actually really know what kind of profession I want once I graduate. Do you have one?

I just realized many of my ideas on posts have been burnt out over the summer. Hopefully I can make a somewhat good length post with simple questions and context that is still worth reading or replying to. I've lost many ideas for posts over the summer, but I still want to make something interesting from something simple. I will give multiple things you can think about or respond to though.

First, maybe I could get to know you more, and you get to know about me more.

Let's start off of talking about our favorite colors I guess, and then talk about our favorite shade of that color. My favorite color is black, but my actual favorite color is eerie black. Eerie black is a shade of black, and it's my favorite because I personally find the original color too dark. Eerie black is dark, but it has a somewhat kind of glimmer to it. It kind of reminds me of some moments of my life while I was in the shower, or idly sitting. I sometimes think about what my future will look like, what I want to do or want. I also sometimes think about what is after death, and also that I am possibly just a guy that isn't really going to do anything meaningful with my life. Other than maybe getting some good scores on my favorite games.

Eerie black, is a shade of black. It is somewhat lighter though, like a light at the end of a never ending tunnel of shadows. It is said that a person's favorite color, favorite genre of music, what they see as beautiful all change over the course of their life. I don't exactly like the color black, the eerie glow on the shade of eerie black perhaps shows what the life of everyone's was like at some point.

Eerie black, is a shade of black. Not fully engulfed in shadows. Black is never actually a bad color, it is a color that represents when many things are combined. It represents when many things are going on at once. It can possibly represent a lack of organization, or confusion. When too many things are being taken in at once, it is sometimes hard to think about what to do. Your mind goes blank, or rather dark.

Eerie black, is a shade of black. It has a light level that is hard to find your way through, but if dedicated enough you will be able to break through and find a brighter shade of black. One day you will be able to love the brighter colors, instead of finding them annoying at random times.

What is your favorite color? What is your favorite shade of that color? Why do you feel like that it is your favorite color? Does it match your personality, does it in some way resemble your life? What does that color say to you?

____

I realized I should save more of these kind of things for future posts. I will take simple questions such as this and make them more complex.
