in which sense? dreams in your sleep, or dreams for your life?

well, i suppose it doesnt matter... most of the time i have unreachable dreams, whether they were dreams i couldnt remember and couldnt visualize when waking up, or dreams and ambitions for a life i yearned for but never had the chance to realize because of the circumstances of my birth

Next user Has taste of Gaming and anime equivalent to Patattita

to clarify, this is a distinctly different experience from what youre describing (if you mean what i think you do), since the context is notably different and has none of those connotations. the premise is specifically oriented toward being able to view every sentimental/moral/philosophical perspective humanity has to offer whether in first-person or in third-person in order to understand how people live and what things mean to them. it might be my fault for failing to specify that... or maybe that too would be included in your interpretation? i don't know.

also, re-using the prompt is ideal if you want a variety of opinions from different people on a subject. i understand if the prompt could be repetitive if a healthy variety of opinions have already been collected, but i do think it worsens when the same person continues to answer without adding anything. i think re-using this is fair when you're reciprocating and answering other prompts, since there will be some amount of fair exchange regardless of repetition.

pata and i would probably differ greatly in our opinions on a lot of media, and the variety of media i've consumed would be nowhere near as comprehensive. i do like hearing what they have to say, though.

the next user is a chronically maladaptive daydreamer?

uhhh no

the next user know who MF DOOM is

i superficially recognize him but i dont exactly know him... i only know he was an incredibly important person for rap and hip-hop :')

maybe the next user played "bubble tanks 3" sometime during their childhood?

no

next user played these games

i only recognise two of them (as games), and i don't think i've played either of them

maybe not,

If you count Bandori, then yes. Even so, those days are behind me.

had been meaning to answer this earlier, it would be loosely accurate of me

it's more of a compulsion and addiction, and i don't really know why i rationalize it
i think it's affected by me having been there from the very beginning, and knowing i've invested as much time into it as i have, while also being motivated to dominate the leaderboard again because of nearly having lost that #1 position to westtle

i really could have just left it there and allowed the tofu block to continue freely, without opposition

but now i'm the one compelled to iive my days here, when i don't really know whether i want to (and i certainly do not need to). i only revisited this forum because it was the next most accessible place to be, a place i left behind but was generally familiar with... and in allowing myself to be a slave to habit, i've mostly opted to make the most of my time here while i have the opportunity to do so

but pragmatically, this is no way to live-- although i wasn't really living anyways, so this was only another nail in that hypothetical/potential coffin

a "sweaty gamer" it is, for what little it's worth

the next user regularly indulges in a striking degree of escapism through media
(consumption/production in service of self-soothing behavior, instead of mere entertainment)

Embarrassingly, no, quite the opposite. Not having paid particularly much attention to English classes in high school, I ended up doing rather poorly in literary analysis. (Borrowed my friend's notes for Fahrenheit 451 and Merchant of Venice.) When I went into my junior year, the questions became more philosophical and I actually enjoyed those more.

Now, onto visual novels... Now that I share opinions with others on what I think of each one, I realised that analysis is a good skill to have. However, I get too much into it and relate it to my personal life experiences (and the philosophical studies mentioned above) to an unreasonable extent. Knowing that others give strong opinions, I too felt the need to press my opinions strongly on others as well. To put it simply, the response others give me is "it's not that deep".

Perhaps it's just me pretending that I'm an experienced adult even though I'm only 20 years old, but I've grown out of some things that others my age still enjoy. For example, the "childish friend" archetype in anime, if not done right, can be off-putting for me. Again, overthinking fiction versus reality is my downfall when I'm supposed to be enjoying these kinds of media.

The next person didn't fully read everything I just said. (And I wouldn't blame you.)

hah! i did! (also just because someone thinks you're looking into something too deeply/ doesn't mean there's no basis in what you see [in fact, what you personally get from it is important imo]. i find "the curtains are just blue" logic is one of many things that has rotted people's relationship with media/art. also, i mean, differing tastes and losing interest in some things is just inevitable and tbh i don't think anything's wrong with that on its own)

(then again i have zero reference for what you mean by unreasonable so...)

there should be a non-zero probability of it, but i don't have a distinct memory so much as a vague impression that it likely happened... but i doubt i can really prove it to myself without an apparent and credible memory

(then again i have zero reference for what you mean by unreasonable so...)

i read it and thought the explanation was really compelling! :> and honestly, not really something i would shame you for either

i generally bristle at phrases like "it's not that deep", partly because i'm a recipient of this typically-dismissive sentiment as well and i frequently attach myself to any description/explanation i would have, whether for fiction or not. any interpretation will usually have significance to me, whether by the merits of the content or by the contexts underlying the speaker's perspective within the composition of that interpretation. it wouldn't mean i necessarily understand it, but i'd echo what synth said, your perspective probabilistically has at least some salient basis grounded in experiences i haven't had and knowledge/insight i haven't gleaned/absorbed/trusted yet

that being said, it doesn't need to be "that deep" for other people, and it isn't my obligation to prove anything to anyone-- although i'm normally compelled to share for anyone that could enjoy/use whatever perspective i might have and carry it for later reference. if it isn't apparently useful/valuable to the person in question, then it simply isn't in that moment. ultimately, though, it is important in some way to you, and the meaning you derive from it is yours to cherish and weigh alongside past/present/future observations ^^

the next user is very intentional about what they do, and generally will be moderately cautious and controlled in every apparent element of their behavior with other people

i sound completely insane (and probably am) when i don't monitor what i'm saying well enough (probably do even when i am)

next user is playing this game rn

i'm actually an astral projection of this user with its own sense of autonomy and self, therefore technically "i'm" not playing right now or something like that

>>

next user owns a nintendo switch

never have, it's unlikely i will either even unless i had the disposable income for it

i hear there are good games on it, but i'm not familiar with them yet and haven't gathered a sense of what i would realistically enjoy playing long-term

although, i remember playing some variation of "super smash bros" (ultimate?) with an old acquaintance by using one of their switch controllers that one time...

...hmm

once a year with a cracked version, maybe? but it becomes too much for my computer after a couple hours, and i typically have to close every single application i reasonably can in order to run it smoothly with non-intensive graphics/render settings

i dont really know what i wanna do when i play, so a lot of that playtime is spent on listlessly wandering and finding somewhere to live and maybe building a home in survival/creative, often times with my most memorable creations extending to the nether (a scenic mixture of branching tunnels inside cliffsides and an eventual netherrite mining site), but...

it takes a lot of time, and i'm often a bit too bored by my own directionless gameplay

...

the next user has created at least a few image collages/moodboards

yes actually! and a couple of stim-boards if those count

next user still believes in a mirage (as in an unrealistic hope)

i have no real idea of what's unrealistic

well, living a good life, in my position, under this system? not impossible but maybe i'm being too optimistic

i think that belief is amongst the only things that have kept me from completely giving up, though

maybe not

next user is a person

no, i'm actually a supercomputer that's just really really good at mimicking human behaviour

>>

next user doesn't use social media that much

true only in the sense that i dont maintain accounts for interaction or any kind of following, but i am usually a lurker of at least some of those social media platforms for one reason or another, visiting irregularly but frequently. im normally too susceptible to my own curiosity to avoid them, although i can achieve the same thing by simply forgetting they were relevant once there is something else to be occupied with

=×=

the next user intently studies human behavior but does not believe they can reliably or accurately characterize it yet

no ???

next user love themself

...that might be complicated

i would love (familial? queerplatonic? hard to describe accurately) a replica of me, but i would not love myself, specifically because i'm the arbitrator of this self while that replica is separate from me and happens to be a copy of me with their own otherwise-identical conscience, differentiated simply by our independent thoughts from there onward

it's easier to love the person that i happen to be when this isn't me. i would take care of my replica, my replica may take care of me. i often imagine a collective of replicas in this fashion

i don't always loathe myself, sometimes i treasure and adore a lot about who i am, but that's frequently been subject to change, depending on what i've most recently observed and how that relates to me

it not really intelligence or cognition, it's a desire for punitive justice (which is common and normalised). also, correction, JK donates to and fraternises with hate groups, it's not just "saying dumb crap"

Technically yeah, but probably not the kind you're thinking. I still held onto the stuffed animals I had when I was a kid because they held too much sentimental value for me to part with. I don't display them, it's more like I just have them in storage. I don't have any plushies besides those currently, but I'm not opposed to getting them. Just don't really have much of a reason to.
