The Official Psychoanalysis GAF Thread

[Verdigris Murder]

Oh right. Forgot to mention I think there is a HIGH correlation between being trans and having aspergers online. Not that there is anything wrong with that but this is something I've noticed in the online community. In real life the the tg community is diverse as fuck. But online....

Trapspergers.

[Inspector Thatcher]

I do? I started the last round of sex talk.

My point was that there's no point in calling someone out for talking about games - in a way that was still actually related to the conversation - on a gaming forum, even if it is in a not-entirely-gaming-related thread.

In a forum where there are people who are defending rape and child porn, enforcing whether or not a gaming forum thread that isn't about games never talks about games seems like small potatoes to me.

But I'm no expert.

okay emitan

I'm flattered you think I'm that well-known.

You are emitan? I thought you were BladeWorker for some reason.

Maybe that reason was because I've not really bothered to actively conceal my GAF name.  Surprise! my handle is exactly what tiesto thought it was.

Is this going to be another Devo situation where the Bore makes fun of a person for years and when they then reveal that they've been here the whole time then pretends that that never happened?

[demi]

Depends, who is emitan? None of these new people are interesting so you will have to excuse me

[Momo]

i guess animu is the most mainstream gender bending /androgynous/queer thing a nerd will find, tbh

like that episode of Pokemon where James has tits

There is like only one time gender and abuse bothered me in anime and it was:

I've often wondered what happened here

1)Did Devo actually become a better poster?
2)Do people just not want shit where they play and chill?
3)Not enough buy in to skate by unnoticed in Devo hate and therefore having to put in effort?
4)cock pics?

That I understand. What I find funnier though is the fact that a lot of the trans people I met on GAF portray some sexist shit when they talk about how girly they are, like Lexi saying transwomen should be in female jail while having this idiotic notion that it was more glamorous or some shit. Or the fact that they pull some "Oh my god I love My little Pony so I'm totally a girl!" shit that's like wat?

I think ultimately they're just nerds. Women can be nerdy to a gross degree too. In college I'd spend time with my cousin, her girlfriend, and friends. God. GOD. They'd call each other nick names like, based off of animals. My cousin's name was "Wolf", and her friends name was "Fox"...AUGH!!!!! I get sad just thinking about it.

[fistfulofmetal]

nobody hazed me.

[Huff]

devu just got hazed a little when she came here. plus evilbore slowly stopped caring about her trolling the shit out of gaffers once everyone realized how tongue in ass it all was

There was a point when EVERYONE got hazed here, big or small. I was hazed to fuck at first but ultimately I stopped pulling the bullshit i used to and I'm glad I stuck around.

lol online hazing

cuz were such badasses here

[Barry Egan]

nobody hazed me.

remember how every time you posted people brought up that you liked diddling little girls?

that was it.  you probably just didnt notice. 

[nudemacusers]

can someone haze me? i'll get naked and everything. whatever you want to do to me.

[Momo]

Careful macuser, my idea of hazing involves butt chugging until you pass out.

Same here, apart from some jokes about banging fat chicks. Which I did bring upon myself

edit: how does one change their name here? i'd rather be macperson tbh

[bork]

Liking anime at one time was the it thing. It is just recently an outcast hobby again.

"Just recently" as in the last...10 years, right?

[Huff]

pretty sure watching anime was never a cool thing to do

[Steve Youngblood]

pretty sure watching anime was never a cool thing to do

Yeah, it may have been more in vogue in terms of its status with nerds, but I don't think there was ever a golden age where -- for instance -- regular people would think you were cool for wearing a DBZ shirt. Perhaps mainstream stuff like Cowboy Bebop when it debuted as part of the Adult Swim block with stuff like Aqua Teen and Sea Lab was more acceptable than anime is seen today, but that's about it.

[tiesto]

pretty sure watching anime was never a cool thing to do

I remember in the 90's some skater kids and ravers had anime themed t-shirts they'd wear (before even the release of DBZ). Not sure if those kids were what you'd call "cool" (in my high school all the so called "cool" kids were white people who thought they were black people from the ghetto - keeping in mind that Smithtown is like 1% black and upper-middle-class LI suburbia).

[hampster]

Anyone who describes their anime watching as a hobby wasn't watching whatever anime show happened to be popular / have mainstream attention anyway

[brob]

When I was ten and everyone was watching cartoon network, the cool kids were watching fist of the north star. we were totally super cool. promise.

so what is derrick01 's deal? he seems like he legit hates videogames now, but he is still in a bunch of threads and gets himself hyped for games you already know wont live up to whatever expectations he set up.

i normally wouldnt give a fuck but he's like one of the more frequent posters these days in gaming side so the constant spiel gets annoying

[Flannel Boy]

Jesus, people, make an "I'm am an Anime Lover" and upload it to youtube.

Just put him on the ignore list. He has nothing of value to say. It will make the gaming side at least 2% more readable.

the first thing i'll do when i die is slap harry goz on the ass and tell him none of it was worth it without him.

[Steve Youngblood]

I didn't watch a single episode of Sea Lab after he died. Were the episodes objectively terrible, or were they just terrible relative to the episodes with Harry Goz? I really need to go back and watch Sea Lab again.

everyone had their place. thats the problem. when he died, there was noone to fill the void, so they tried with shanks and hesh. hesh was ok, but shanks was more than forgettable.

£280 with two games as it happens (voucher and sainsburys new customer discount in the UK). And I was only more amenable to that because I had a windfall over the Summer.. I think the U is too expensive too. The value in that £425 never materialised for me, and just to be clear, I'm not disputing it had good games - I just feel I could have done just fine with one HD console to accompany the Wii rather than two.

Yea, I remember you from the very very old dating thread (back when it was Combine making it... wonder if he ever managed to overcome his social anxiety btw). And giving me advice on one of my g/fs at the time. Just kinda guessed that you were Inspector Thatcher.

Both he and ninjaboi being on timeout, nice.

[Shaka Khan]

truth is that he was pretty bad before, got given a very flattering tag, and that'll completely destroy even 99% of *good* posters.

I've thought of this before... Do you really think some people forcibly and consciously attempt to live up to their tags? And if so, is the goal merely to be tag-quoted?

Also generally people are fine with people like Devolution as long as they drop the schtick that made them obnoxious on GAF.  Some, like blame space/can of pickles, Eggman, Nintendosbooger, etc. end up trying to bring their online personalities here and get shown the door pretty quick.

[Verdigris Murder]

Demo was a deception. It should be a common knowledge by now and this proves it. Gearbox fucked up.

Gearbox's ghostin' us, motherfucker. I don't care who they are back in the Borderlands world, they give us a deception like this one more time, I'll bleed them, real quiet. Leave them here. Got that?!

This type of thing just makes my toes curl, and then idiots actually applaud it unironically. Mind boggling.

...who thought it would appropriate to hand these chocolates

(Image removed from quote.)
out before class started.

I don't know what's more annoying - the fact that he thought it would be okay to hand this shit out in class, or that nobody else said anything until I got a look at it and went ballistic. Turning it into a teachable moment was the only way I could salvage the class, and by rights I should probably be more jaded at casual bigotry, but still - come the fuck on.

I dont get the furor over this.  If it was a woman that did this it wouldnt be out of place(minus the no homo stuff) but a guy doing it would reek of femininity.  So the guy does something clever and puts "no homo" on it to show that he loves everyone and his ass raped for it?  Shows how out of touch bishop is sense of humour.

[Damian79]

Actually i take that back he wasnt showing love for his fellow students, he was clearly trying to do a clever joke.  The over the top packaging of the chocolates and the heart added to the note makes it very clear.

[radioheadrule83]

Agreed. I could understand pulling him up privately -- he'd have probably been like, "look its a light hearted meme or joke, something you say to same sex acquaintances when showing them appreciation or affection, it suggests you don't know whether they're a potential homophobe or not - but the gesture meant no offence either way, sorry if you're offended"... I don't think its necessarily insulting at all, but the meaning is a difficult thing to convey. Pulling him up in front of others was probably really embarrassing -- and when you get down to it, he was handing out chocolates to brighten up a brief minute of peoples' day. Something he needn't have bothered doing. Maybe I don't understand the sensitivities around it because I'm not gay. I dunno.

Sounds about right actually, i would assume the same for the wii and the ps3 aswell.  I had 2 wiis die on me and a 360 die on me.  I didnt have a ps3 long enough to get YLOD.

Do many people BUY replacements for broken consoles though? I know when my Wii went (graphical glitch problem and wouldn't play double layer discs) I just called Nintendo, they replaced it. I never experienced the RROD problem, myself... I've fixed a couple of boxes for people though, installing X-clamps, resolders etc. I think my negativity towards Sony stems from not just the high price of entry last gen, but also me getting both a dodgy BR laser and eventually YLOD though. I could probably fix mine, I just don't want to at all. Nobody seems to build things like they used to.

[Damian79]

Most people tend to go with the opposing console when one dies out.  Like if your Xbox dies out you buy a ps3 or if a ps3 dies out you buy an Xbox.  Though you hear about people on thier 7th xbox etc.

I rip into Obsidian games only because of my tag. I mean, they are my genuine opinions, just that if I didn't have it I would completely ignore them.

Again, I never stated "BAN HIM!". What I stated is that it's a bit sad when you recognize some of the posters here and their lives aren't as gloomy and beautiful either, yet they will degrade others.

I donated for Amri0x's mother. He used it for drugs? Good for him. I know that on my end I have no remorse. I forgive him. Can't others too?

Hell, most of the people saying shit about him didn't even donate.
