3 years. No thanks with the eneternity, the universe is going to freeze over eventually. I would go insane much before that I imagine and neither of those would be remotely pleasant.


What's the worst thing you can imagine yourself doing for 10 bucks?
Achromalia
What heinous and abhorrent thing I would voluntarily do in order to get 10 dollars?

Draw something for someone so I can get 10 dollars >:O

Trick 'em outta their money! They have a useless pretty thing to look at and I have a useful practical thing to work with! HAHAHAH!!

Taking it seriously, I don't know, actually. There's plenty of shitty things I could do. I'd rather not, but I could. I'd definitely swipe 10 dollars from the ground if I haven't seen the person who dropped it, or don't suspect anyone lookin' for it. I normally only take what I find, not what someone else has.

I could seriously choose to disregard ethics since it really "doesn't matter" as long as there aren't any lasting consequences, I suppose. Anything of which is done where noone could suspect a thing.

best way i can really answer this question is

depends on who’s asking

what’s the weirdest/wildest/worst dare you’ve ever done?
ERA Puzzle
Uhhh


Asked my best buddy out on a date for a dare

He got mad at me lmao

Same Q
Achromalia
honestly not sure. i'm not the type of daring person to do that sorta stuff.

i'm sure i did something at some point, but i don't really recall what i've done. it's certainly when i was a lot younger, but i dunno when.

so uhhhhh

Never done a dare, never really socialised much.

Heavy metal (e.g. Rings of Saturn, Aversions Crown) or soft metal (e.g. Red Vox, Tool)?

Soft over heavy

Your biggest mistake

Failing to prevent further damage when I had the chance to remedy my parents' relationship.

Never coming to terms with the fact that I had to put effort into things to get something equitable out of them. That was a mistake I made for about 7 or 8 years.

MisakiTobisawa-
I haven't really made a mistake that's impacted and scarred my life. So I'll say: I refused to leave school one day (when I was like 9) so my father had to pick me up. You can guess what happened when I got home.

Do you like school? A very simple question, but something that'd be easy to elaborate on why or why not.
Tad Fibonacci
I don't like it nor do I hate it.

I think school is necessary since it's an environment for children to be educated and grow as a person. There are things that I hated about school and would like for them to be changed but I think they're necessary for society as a whole.

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

Same question.
Achromalia
It's a pain in the ass when you have something else important to focus on. I'd say I'm neutral, my experience with school has been rather mixed. I think education's great when done right, so ideally, school would be a good place. But sadly, things are quite shitty over here in the states. The blind college push doesn't exactly help.

What careers do you think I should pursue, specifically (I'm considering the possibility of being an indie game composer)?
ERA Puzzle
I actually think that's a pretty good career. But it depends entirely on the indie game market. If things keep pace you'll probably have plenty of work and as a musician that's a surprisingly fruitful market. The issue with being a musician in general is the level of competition you face and it can make job security wonky. You have to be very good to be guaranteed work. I do think creating music for games in general should be a relatively reasonable market to break into, however, considering the growth games in general have experienced. Dont limit yourself to just indie games though. It's a likely career path, but with something as difficult to break into as music, you have to keep your options open.

People who litter. It says a lot about a person when holding a cup or a can or whatever the hell else is more important to them than the environment or the quality of the place they live in. Ah, yeah, I could damage the environment and contribute to the problem instead of the solution and hurt my quality of life and everyone else plus the animals that live around here. Or I could just not hold this stupid cup till I get to a trash can. Fuck it! I dont wanna hold this cup.

Yeah, real nice.

MisakiTobisawa-
Well, the question was "What annoys you?" so I'm assuming it doesn't need to be related to a person's behavior. I'm easily annoyed by being reminded to do things over and over again. My memory is pretty good, usually I only need to be told something once or twice. So, for example, when my father asks me to pack my bag, he doesn't realize that I'm one step ahead every single day now and asks anyway. Am I making a mountain out of a molehill? Yes, I am, but I really can't stand it at all.

What have you improved about yourself as a person compared to 5 years ago?
Tad Fibonacci
I've gotten older, I'm not as stupid, not as naive, I've learned to have my own thoughts and ideas.
And most importantly, I stopped chasing after my older brother in every single aspect of life. Overall, I learned to have my own life I guess.

same question.
ERA Puzzle
I've learned about a billion things. The two things that really stand out to me are what I've learned about hard work and the fact that I've finally grown independent and gotten over my fear of moving into the 'real' world. I kind of coasted on the help of others for a long time, sans a short 6 month stint where I lived in California when I was 20. Now I've got my own job, my own apartment. I make a good living and work hard everyday on the things I want to accomplish. I'm less of my own person than I used to be, however, and that's a discouraging regression that I'm busy trying to fix.

What things are you focusing on improving and how do you plan on moving forward as a person for the next 5 years?
Meah
Some work related things, I still need a lot of things to learn to be promoted and get paid higher

Problems you're facing right now
Achromalia
the lack of a bank account (inability to receive money from commissions or donations, as well as inability to support the artists/producers that need it).

potentially failing school, maintaining grades.

dad's issues with money not being received for child support, among a multitude of other compounding financial issues.

flat car tire on the driver's side. gotta buy two more, one to replace, and one as a spare. not helpful for financial issues.

creative atrophy & creative blocks, my productivity is absolute dogshit, the best example being the damn speech that i've failed to make progress with.

fatigue. my quality of sleep is shitty and i can't seem to stay up as long as i used to. i pass out at midnight or earlier, then sometimes wake up in the middle of the night, only to fall asleep and wake up a few hours later. it's been affecting my ability to really do anything.

still have to go to court so that we can get shit fixed.

among a plethora of other shit, but this is what immediately comes to mind.

your dream career?
payney
honestly, im not exactly sure.

here’s what i know: i want to create. i want to make something, and give it to others in hope that others will appreciate it the same way i do. whether it be thru music, filmmaking, art, writing, etc.

i would have to explore each medium a little more to be able to really decide, but the happiest i could be would be living to create.

————

same question
Achromalia
heh, pretty much the same here, though i'm a bit more certain of what i'm looking to do.

i already have decent skills at things related to music and art. a pianist, traditional artist, digital artist (and wannabe animator), poet, producer, and writer, are the main things i do in relation to creative occupations.

i really want to create, and share my thoughts and experiences with others through my work. that's partially why i include poems in my song descriptions and write poetry in general.

i hope to create something enjoyable that others can immerse themselves in to escape from the tough shit they put up with in life. that's why i plan to make an animation series someday.

in terms of a career, i know i'll be producing music and art, but as a job, i might try and become an indie game composer, or possibly even a film composer. alternatively, i could be an artist for an indie game.

there's a lot more to it all, but that's the general overview of what i've got in mind.

What are some misconceptions people have about you?
ERA Puzzle
Nearly the same answer. I want to create things. I want to bring meaning and expression into the world. I also want to be good at things. I dont know why, I just always have. I suppose it leads to an interesting way of life if nothing else. So, combining those two, art is the obvious answer. It's something I enjoy doing, not just the results of it. It has an unimaginably vast depth of skill expression. And I can create things that are meaningful. It really ticks all the boxes for me. Everything else short of maybe being a singer is just lackluster. Doesnt tick all the boxes that I need to feel happy with what I'm doing.

Specifically responding to Chara; I think you should get some practice with something. It seems like you havent made a choice yet. That's fine, but I'll suggest experimenting with different stuff (when you can) because I think theres a lot of things that you could enjoy. You're missing out if you're not enjoying stuff.

Q: You can go back in time to one point in your life and change a decision that you made. Which decision do you change and what do you do differently?


Edit: Well, I got ninja'd.

Ah, I don't really know. I don't know if people even have misconceptions of me. Maybe my outward appearance versus my inner feelings. They don't match up very well in an odd way. I'm trying to fix that but it's kind of hard.

Usually that I'm gay or way more extroverted than I actually am.

I suppose I am pretty happy-go-lucky and act like myself, and I'm not too hung up on acting masculine, so in a sense, I get it? My conference persona is also pretty excitable and interested in people and their opinions. But when I'm done, I usually retreat into a hoodie and chill alone for a while.

What's your best advice?
MisakiTobisawa-
Turn to your seniors for advice (basically asking for help when you need it). It's really common advice, but I've heard of a lot of people having problems in school which could all be solved by going to the teachers, their parents, the counselor etc. So for me at least, this is something that's so simple that people don't really consider it.

What was the most painfully boring time you had to sit through, and was it worth the wait?
Achromalia
...

I'm not sure.

I think I might be able to refer to my state of inertia a couple years ago, the repetitive cyclical nature of how i lived during the summer, wasting my life away as i listened to music and consumed Youtube and osu! all day. Luckily for me, I had the instant gratification of having found so much new music that I now cherish, but overall, the whole cycle in itself was tiresome and painful to have to acknowledge. it was real boredom in my eyes. it felt like i had been doing nothing with my life.

but it doesn't really fit in this context.

so egh.

Have you at some point found yourself in a loop of something that only ruins your life? What happened?
payney
a good chunk of my life, honestly.

since i got into middle school, and all the way up to even now, ive just kinda isolated myself in my room and haven’t done too much in the way of productivity.

i’ve been getting better about fixing my isolation, but not much about being a person.


SQ.
ERA Puzzle
A few times. I'm not sure which ones to mention in specifics so I'll just talk generalities.

It's always been a mentality thing. I find those loops to be something cyclical which feeds off itself. Because of that, taking the first step is always the hardest and it's also always terrifying in some way. It often involves breaking some kind of preconceptions. Preconceptions are realities, so you have to destroy the things that you know. Because of it, breaking those loops is often something I can never rationalize as being complex. It's always a very simple action. But conversely, always very painful. It's never easy, but it must be done, so I try to just do it and not think about it. The more I think about it the more inertia I build and the more terrifying the thought of the action becomes.
