age when you were first introduced to the idea of respecting your elders
Achromalia
i don't recall either.

i was certainly young. my dad was obsessed with the concept of obedience. he still is, all these years later.

disobedience is worthy of punishment.

or so he feels.

Your age when falling in love for the first time

Never. I kinda fear it tbh.

You discovered a hobby you currently most enjoy.
Tad Fibonacci
5 years old.

It was when I think I played my first video game. It might've been earlier but I don't really remember.

Same question.

It really depends on how specific you want to get. And I'm not even sure what hobby I enjoy most. Guess it's a tie between drawing and playing games. But even then it's like do I count specific games above others? And the reason I like playing games is my main drive for playing them, so should I answer that?

If the answer is art, 22. If the answer is games, 6. If the answer is being competitive, which is why I play games now and what really drives my gaming as a hobby, 12. When I discovered Osu I was like 16. League, 14. Archeblade 17, I think? Not really sure on that one. Might be 18.


Same quesh.

Hard to tell.

Music and art were never things I saw as hobbies, but they may be fairly commonly cited, so I'll go off of that.

primarily, art. i dabbled in music casually but never cared to do much with it until later on, when i was 9 or so. i then developed an affinity for it by age 12.

but art was somethin' i enjoyed and worked with for a long while, often drawing out of boredom on blank textbook and workbook pages in the middle of class while still in elementary school. i'd tear out every blank page I could. so as far as drawing, i'd say that mostly began when i was 7. the extensive variety of terrible doodles and even worse penmanship were especially memorable and indicative of a time where i just couldn't get my hands off the crayons and pencils.

your age when you first found the internet?
pundice
~4. I'm relatively young (13), so the internet has been out for my entire life. I remember my first memory of using the internet, and it was in my old house in Mexico, and I was sitting on my mom's lap as she explained the very basics of a PC. I was very advanced for my age at the time, so I understood it all, and ever since then, I've been addicted.

My question is a double question - your age when you found osu, and your age now?
Achromalia
i'd been around 13 or so. i'm 16 as of now.

age when you first had an interest for the arts?
CatzerTM
perhaps around the time I started high school, around 12 I would say

your age when you first developed strong hatred towards someone/something
Achromalia
myself, i guess. 12. i got tired of myself. instead of wondering why things happened to me, i more or less became introspective and thought about how i may have affected something.

I was maybe in 4th grade, so about 9-10, when I hated my dad. I was young and didn't know what hatred really was. I don't believe in condoning hatred anymore.

When you first had suicidal/deathly thoughts
Achromalia
I don't think I ever had incredibly strong suicidal feelings. I frankly didn't care enough to kill myself.

But it'd be possible.

That was when I had been 13, 14 or so.

Now I prefer to just wait until I die, for the sake of at least being able to experience something. Life's kinda nice, even if it's terribly agonizing as well.

This is quite an uncomfortable question, but I'll take it, I'm kinda bored.

I used to get them when I was really young, I'm thinking around 8, due to mental health issues.
However, now these issues are improving, I'm really optimistic about life.
Not quite used to this, but I enjoy it all the same.

Question: If you play a multiplayer card game by yourself, and a 'player' (which you play) won (meaning that all the other 'players' you play lose), did you win the card game, or did you lose it?
Achromalia
this isn't exactly the right thread.

you might've meant to post this question in a different one.

N/A.

your age when you first won at a competitive event of sorts?
Carmlillball
My mind isn't exactly working today lmao.

I've never really taken part in competitions. GCSEs are forced, and Osu! I'm a solo player and just enjoy to see myself get better at the game.

I think I was 17.
It was only a small league high school championship.
We didn't get first place but we did managed to secure the second.
The cash that we won wasn't a huge amount but we had fun.
We spent all of it on pizzas.

Same question.
samX500
When I was 14 I participated in the first robotic competition, which is a tournament where school compete for who can build the best robot in 6 week to play a certain game that changes every year. My team didn't win but we did get to the semi-final of the Montreal regional. I also participated at 15 and 16 but we didn't get past the qualification these 2 years.

Same question.

Don't remember my exact age as it's been forever since, but I was between 6 and 9. As a kid, I was doing light athletics and our club would enter competitions sometimes, ended up getting first place during one of those. I have no idea how I won though, I was always good at running, speed and stamina, but don't remember being particularly good at the other categories. I wonder at what age kids usually start being affected by nerves / selfawareness, because I remember that back then, I was feeling as if it was any other day, no pressure, no nerves, but I also didn't understand what it meant when I won and probably didn't understand what it meant to compete, either (which is probably why I felt zero pressure and maybe gave me quite a big advantage), I was happy though since everyone from my club was happy for me, I remember that.

I got second at a music competition thing. If you're asking for first, I won a math thing when I was 11.

Went to wake up my brother and he hugged me. It's something simple, but made me pretty happy and I like to remember it. I have many little memories like that.

SQ
Achromalia
I don't recall, sadly.

I was energetic back then, but was never much of happy person.

But I'll share some pleasant memories that stand out:

Staying up all night and watching the summer sunrise when I was 11.

Playing piano and sharing art with my middle school crush at 13.

Discovering and listening to a huge amount of new genres in music at 13.

I think I was 13-14. A sorrowful yet happy memory, as it was the first time in my life I felt free and not bound by responsibilities and expectations. Sorrowful, because the person who made it possible moved away and we never got to truly say goodbye.


You realized your purpose in life
ERA Puzzle
Ah... I don't really recall when I decided all of reality was a pretty subjective thing. It was a slow process that probably took from the age of... 17 to like 20? I don't know. But that was kind of when I decided what my purpose was.

SQ
Achromalia
no real answer, i guess.

i just kinda move on without any particular purpose to live. i don't care to die, primarily. i feel i have no good reason to die other than relieve others of the burdens i weigh on them.

as pointless as life seems to me, death would be equally as pointless.

i just want to see what i can do and create. maybe it'll be nice. perhaps i'll actually enjoy what i wind up making, and i could actually manage something decent.

otherwise, i'll just live it out to the end to see what happens.

if i die, i suppose i don't really care. i'm dead, so i'd be incapable of doing so.

SQ. it's an interesting one, perhaps someone believes they do have a purpose. an intriguing position being that you can make your own purpose in life, that it's not necessarily to be realized, rather, just something you make of it on your own terms.
samX500
I am not sure but ever since I was 16 (am 18 now) I have been starting to think about myself and this thinking brang me to the realization that there is no absolute purpose in life and that life simply cannot have an absolute purpose if you believe that we are just some organism that semi-randomly evolved into the human kind. The only way for your life to have a purpose is if you decide to give yourself one but we aren't born with one.

Probably when I was 22 or 23. Around that time a close friend told me that he views his time spent as meaningful as long as he's enjoying himself. I've been going through a lot of hardships and setbacks and still am, so I've often felt depressed, thinking about how I get older and older without much real progress in life, so that view helps me quite a bit, as long as I'm having fun and enjoying my time, I haven't "wasted it". I guess you can always set goals that you want to achieve and you can make accomplishments, but at the end of the day, all of that turns into a memory the second it's gone past, after that, the only thing that is left is how you feel. If you enjoy thinking back and can draw continuous happiness from past achievements, that's great and gives them more meaning (from my perspective), otherwise they'd just be time killed and you could have done litereally anything else, too, unless it of course affects your future in a physical way, too, such as a better job, a relationship, etc.

Here's the twist though, I do think everyone has one general purpose and it is meaningful, which is to leave something behind for future generations. You're born into a family with infrastructure, set up by your peers and are able to enjoy your life thanks to their prior and continuous work, I think it's only fair to not waste their efforts and ensure that your future generations (your own offspring maybe even) can have the same, or an even better start into their life than yours.
