What do you think about mobile games?
Tad Fibonacci
I don't like them.
There are some good ones that are quite fun but most of them are just low effort asset ripoff games and/or is filled to the brim with gacha/loot boxes and micro transactions.
Also they're a waste of time.

----------------------

Same question.
Nate Bait
Depends. Some are pretty good/decent, but the majority of mobile games aside from the good ones are usually just knockoffs, as Fibonacci said.

Now if it were mobile game ads, oh thats a whole different story.

What's your favourite holiday?
Klydefiss
Christmas, because I can ask for a new game for my switch, get said game, then bundle up in my blanket and play my life away. Also the cloudy skies always comforts me for some weird reason.

Speaking of games, what was/is your favorite childhood game?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Megaman V, Rockman IV, Road Rash, Age of Empire (still playing now), Heroes of Might and Magic III (same for this one), Bomberman, cytus, and other game that I don’t remember the name

Diablo (though I was never good at it), No one lives forever 2, Half life, Call of Duty 1&2, StarCraft, Rockman X4, Red Alert 2 and Bioshock (I saw this one in a game magazine once and got obsessed with it, though I didn't played it until years later since I didn't have a very good computer).

happy about myself?

i've been content to some degree, at times, but it's a bit hard to.

most of the time i think of myself in rather neutral terms. i'll often berate myself for my fuck-ups, but i normally don't care to feel anything towards that.

and rarely, but sometimes, i'll actually feel satisfied with what i've done, with what i've made, and with how i've done.

what's your main motivator and perceived purpose for living?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Boobies I don’t really know tbh. Not trying to sound edgy or anything but I find a lot of things in life boring and have a little interest in my life rn. Though it is not to a degree that I feel living as an obligation, but I’m really lack of motivation. I guess my main motivation is also my purpose to live - to see what life throws at me

I barely ever shop so I never see any.

Do you believe you are free?
Carmlillball
Not really.

I'm pretty much stuck in my house all the time, except to go outside in the back garden.
Also, everything is extremely controlled by my mum, including dinner. I'm not trusted to make my own dinner and I'm almost 16! No reason for this, either. I used to at least be trusted to use a microwave. Some times I am allowed to have dinners which I would like, but this is extremely risky. Often, I'm forced to have both the food I wanted, and a take out she wants me to eat.

When there is freedom, such as when I was at school, I can be very limited by my anxiety. Communication is very scary for me in real life although I'm trying to work on it. I blame part on it on being such a sheltered kid.

My mum means well, but she's very.. Controlling.

However, I still have freedom through creating art and stories, as well as browsing the internet, and I'm thankful for this.

I also receive help from a 'friend' (of a strange definition at that, though I like her). She helps me to get independence and break away from my mum's chains a little. I love the 2 hours a week I get with her, even though I'm quiet and awkward throughout the time. Being able to talk about serious issues with someone and having them clearly thinking rationally is a huge relief.
I feel free when hanging out with her. I love spending time with her.

What's with bullying?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Idk, let me ask wikipedia

Bullying is the use of coercion, force, or threat, to abuse, aggressively dominate or intimidate. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception (by the bully or by others) of an imbalance of physical or social power. This imbalance distinguishes bullying from conflict.[1] There is no universal definition of bullying. It is widely agreed upon that bullying is a subcategory of aggressive behavior characterized by the following three minimum criteria: (1) hostile intent, (2) imbalance of power, and (3) repetition over a period of time.[2] Bullying may thus be defined as the activity of repeated, aggressive behavior intended to hurt another individual, physically, mentally, or emotionally.

Bullying ranges from one-on-one, individual bullying through to group bullying called mobbing, in which the bully may have one or more "lieutenants" who may seem to be willing to assist the primary bully in their bullying activities. Bullying in school and the workplace is also referred to as "peer abuse".[3] Robert W. Fuller has analyzed bullying in the context of rankism.The Norwegian researcher Dan Olweus[4] says bullying occurs when a person is "exposed, repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on the part of one or more other persons". He says negative actions occur "when a person intentionally inflicts injury or discomfort upon another person, through physical contact, through words or in other ways."[4] Individual bullying is usually characterized by a person behaving in a certain way to gain power over another person.[5]


On a srs note, bullying is one way for people to display their insecurities so it is pretty dumb in the most part, especially when most of the bullies don’t know that they are doing that

i don't like it... it is a hellhole to me and i sometimes wish i could get out...

the environment is complete utter shit... people can be extremely horrible, you should be terrified if you made someone jealous since they would even KILL YOU to fill their fucking ego. this is sometimes why they can be nosy af, trying to know your crush and shit like that, its because they want to ruin your life and make you feel like shit. if you were to meet someone reliable, congrats!
pollution is a huge problem, there is garbage, air, noise, water, and even FUCKING TOXIC PEOPLE pollution. it is irritating me to the core. it is one of the reasons why you should NEVER live in the city, those places are literal dumpsters.
transportation... also bad. you are in bad luck if you are kinda tall, i'm 167cm and i sometimes bang my head on the roof on tricycles or even jeepneys. speaking of tricycles and jeepneys... they can easily scare claustrophobic people because you are gonna get crammed up in those. If you go in a bus, expect vomiting, considered i easily got nauseous before in those buses.
politics, i wouldn't talk about that because uh... they can be extremely sensitive... but yeag lies everywhere haha...
school (since i go to school haha...) is shit as well, heck the system is rather crap considering there are people in highschool that can't read, write, or even do basic maths. bullying problem is high, very high. i even got bullied for doing normal shit, the students even try to manipulate me in the shittiest ways that can drain a person mentally if they are weak, they would say you are greedy if you don't give them something they want, even if its just for hygiene and there is a FUCKING SINK FOR A FUCKING REASON!

i would rant way more about this but i think i should probably try to lighten up this thing a bit... plus what i might be doing makes me a scummy person (yes... you are a scum if you insult this country, even if you just dislike this country, you are scum... instantly...)

what i like? just the overall feel of being in a rural area, it is the only calming place in this hellhole i am living in...

overall, if you are planning on visiting philippines, or even living in the philippines, please consider that you are probably gonna go through a fucking nightmare. unless you are lucky af and have not experienced this horrible shit.

hopefully i am not in trouble for this... i am honestly worried that expressing this puts me in danger...

Achromalia
fuck i haven't been here in a long while, uhhhhh

hmm.

loneliness isn't really a big issue for me.

...well, it'd be slightly dishonest to say that it's not at least a bit of an issue. though i really prefer to be alone, sometimes it'd be nice to have someone to talk to and share my life with. someone who understands and listens, and engages with me in my messy thought process.

but normally, i'm alright with that. i'm probably not going to find anyone that i can do that with in person. it's pretty hard to find people that can genuinely engage with me in the first place.

a lot of the time, the only people that take me seriously and can engage in a real conversation would be adults, because they're mature enough and knowledgeable enough to have some say in the matter, and they've likely become more perceptive of different ideas.

anyways, yeah. i'm not sure if i necessarily need to cope, that's never really been a huge thing.

what the hell should i be doing at this point? i'm kind of lost and unsure where to start, and i'd like to get something going career-wise, but i've yet to monetize anything with my music and art our of the lack of confidence in my work. i dunno where to go from here. would appreciate any kind of advice.

Same as Sam, I enjoy loneliness and I prefer it that way. Sometimes, no rarely, I do feel a bit lonely. Like I wish I had someone important to me that always kept me company like I used to before. Usually just uh crying sometimes no much, or just thinking about what it's like to have friends.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Tbh, idk what to tell you since I have little to no understanding about the situation you’re in rn. What I’ve already known are this statement your soundcloud channel which I have listened to several times alr. Your stuff, at least in the music industry, is pretty decent (especially your night mix one, which is something I would actually buy and put it into my playlist). If you want to make a career out of this, I would recommend you trying to get recognitions from others. There are many of ways to do it, such as making a beatmap out of your song and go for ranking, going on twitch and request them to play your song (for example, go to a twitch streamer like the8bitdrummer who play drum over music and request him to play your song), etc. The progress can be tedious but the rewards could be really good. Don’t know about your art tho, since the only artpiece I have ever seen from you is your avatar, so I can’t give you much advise, but always start out with getting attention. I understand how you think that your work isn’t good enough since I have been through it already. I liked mapping in mania a lot and I have always wanted my maps to be played by other players, but I was always scared of them saying that my map is bad, therefore I’m scared to even ask other people to testplay my map. Though after talking to one of my osu friend and he said to me that I must go through that process anyway to become better at mapping and that, as cliché as it may have sounded, if you put effort into it, it would never be bad at all. (I kinda ramble a lot so some point may feels dumb or sth, so forgive me on that)

Edit: almost forgot that this is an “ask the person below” page so ye, that. But if u want to give achro advise, feel free to skip this

The future's neither bright nor dark. It's rather uncertain, and rather complicated.

SQ
Achromalia
highly depends. does the wallet have ID and an address? i'll try to have it returned.

if there's just a wallet on the ground with literally nothing but some amount of cash, i'll leave it there.

i have a slightly different policy when i find coins on the floor at the store.

i return whatever money i see dropped from someone if i observed it myself, but if it's just there, and i don't know who the hell dropped it, i'll take it for myself.

“What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more' ... Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine.”
samX500
I don't really get the question but from what I can get of it I suppose it would be number 2. From my understanding of religion a demon is just an evil god and in this situation that evil god is claiming that you will resurect which no matter how you look at it is something divine. Plus option 1 is pretty unlikely, I am not the kind to curse people when I hear bad news.

SQ
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Ok so I’m not the only who have problem understanding the question. Anyway, if the questiom is what it is, then probably 1 since me reliving a lonely life for eternity would already be reality, and the 2 options are basically either admire or despite the demon who did this to you so I think it is more realistic to go with 1

What do you hate about osu the most?

sq
Achromalia
nngh, it's going to have to be a tie between story and visuals. i can stand through a generally not-so-fun control scheme with the idea that i'm going through a pretty lovely and immersive game. storytelling's kind of just what makes certain games shine, and the visuals pull you in and help to establish an aesthetic or mood to really bring out the game's settings and plotlines, as well as even characters. in games where storylines aren't a factor, it's up to the game concept itself. diagonal tetris? hell yeah. traversing a set of galaxies w/ colonies, spaceship combat 'n' whatnot? ...sounds cool, but it's not really the kind of thing i'd easily get into. i've looked over it fairly often, even despite some nice cover art for the games i've seen under that general idea.

As in "I don't get it (psychological)", it would be something around "survival horror".
Although that's just because I didn't look into the context and labeled some games with this tag.
If there's a proper story behind all the blood there is to see, why not.
But for the moment, I just don't get the thing behind "The Walking Dead", "Dead by Daylight", and some other ones I just forgot the names while writing this.

As in "I don't get it (how it works/controls)", it would be "team sports" like "FIFA" and "PES".
And that's just because I never got proper TV consoles and games (I don't know how to call them), only hand-held ones.
