Wow Ben, you and Creepy Stalker have something to bond over and talk about.
Git right on it, it is necessary in order to solve my ARG about Nutella.

I didn't know about it until people talked about it here, but the simpiest of behavior was displayed by mutes over some chick in Germany or somewhere in Europe. Shit was cringeworthy, full on  ""

Hmm, thanks for the info.

He was definitely right for making fun of me for taking the Internet too seriously two years ago. Things have changed a lot ever since then however, and while I still live at my parents' and do not have a steady job, I make decent money at least.

When GAFfers talk about not using Facebook I always wonder whether that's indicative of a usage shift in the general public in other countries or if they're just real weirdos.

I think I may have an idea what the real answer is, though.

Not having an account in France makes you a social outcast. I used to have an account.

[VomKriege]

Well, I stopped using it but I will not dare to pretend I'm the norm...
Too much of a time hog, too much noise, and a format that drags most of the conversations down.
It is pretty good to keep an open line on all the people you know without the hassle of an adress book and to organize collective events.

a social outcast.

Or you know... you could do it the "old" fashioned way of using phones and e-mail.

[benjipwns]

I have seen a slippage in friends using it but it's mainly because they don't want to post pictures of themselves watching TV as the kids run around. And they'll upload like three months worth of photos of "real events" randomly.

I've never really used it because everyone I know is boring (which is great) and I'm even more boring. I've kept my account in case I need to get in touch with someone and don't have other contact information even though I can't imagine a case where I'd need to contact 99.9% of the "friends" on there.

When it was thefacebook though. I totally checked it every other week. And posted non sequiturs.

Over time, I notice most people spend less and less time on it.  I hardly use it and when I want to hang out with friends, we generally text each other instead of using Facebook like we did a decade ago.

Nice try Van Konsolidor, but Bork clearly told me more than once not to bring the ARG into other threads... not to mention you are wrong, since I did attempt to do it your way and received no (private) answer.

Can you please stop that? I don't think it's very appropriate.

Thanks.

We had warned you to tone it down. You did not, and in fact, had community support to continue. Probably the most disturbing was when the picture in question was posted, some of you didn't even see a problem. If we catch you trying to take over another thread, bans will be long.

If people are calling you racist sexist or a bigot chances are you are one. Most people don't just throw those words around without reason.

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and accuse people of being racist, sexist and bigoted?

So we've established that the characteristics of the figure are not particular to the gender or sex appeal of the character portrayed, and the Snake figure has the same fleshiness. Quiet as a character design is certainly up for legitimate debate as far as objectification in gaming, but the story presented in the OP operates under false pretenses and is heavily agenda-driven, so this story is a bust (as it were).

As a closing commentary, Akihabara is easily the creepiest place on the planet. You probably really don't want to buy figures catering to the otaku market segment for your own mental and social health. That being said, merchandising for anime/manga/gaming in Japan is so ridiculously depraved and targeted at pedophiles that it's difficult to bat an eye whatsoever at this Quiet doll, which, despite any squishability, depicts a grown woman with human proportions that overall looks very much like the model in that photo of her holding it (which is neat), and not a 10 year old girl-creature in a maid outfit with ZZ cups and moe eyes as per the status quo.

Don't buy otaku dolls and a big glass case to put them in. Thanks. 'Til next time.

Can't wait to go to Aki and get some figures for my glass case this summer!

Recall seeing a thread where some dude called out the OP for having a history of real depressing ass posts. Every one of them was all uplifting comments shit then one dude completely shitting on his entire thread history. Just seems like there's a lot of those types orbiting certain sites, where every little problem is a crisis with no solution in sight.

Am I imagining things or has there been a noticeable uptick in quantity of depressing/suicidal threads being posted lately?

I figure it coincides with E3 every year.

[fistfulofmetal]

most people are probably too self conscience to put that kind of information on the net. but with the recent trend of the forum being more welcoming and friendly to people, there's less of a risk to ridicule. so more people are willing to put it up because they know it'll result in hundreds of posts of sympathy.

[OnlyRegret]

I figure it coincides with E3 every year.

It should come after E3 then. Hype and hope before, expectations shattered and disappointment rife after.
Before E3 you think you'll fill that void and regain that magic of video games from childhood. Afterwards you realize nothing will change.

What is that game you guys keep hoping will be announced at E3 every year but it never is?

True.
Well, with a few exceptions I guess like the American right-wing.

[studyguy]

Nah there's plenty of chances to mock dudes on the site.
The only assumption is you're going to slide it into an essay that simultaneously keeps a circlejerk in a thread going while throwing the shade on whoever the fuck is going against the grain. If a dude's post has been quoted for the entirety of the first page after saying something dumb, it's basically open season as far as that site's concerned.

[mormapope]

Some billionaire needs to replicate the S3 plan from MGS2 and test it on a Gaffer. I love watching the AI spiel at the end of the game, it nailed what some internet communities were in the late 90's but now that shit is the complete truth for most communities.

Gonna special fellow out:

Colonel: But in the current, digitized world, trivial information is
             accumulating every second, preserved in all its triteness. Never
             fading, always accessible.

Rose: Rumors about petty issues, misinterpretations, slander...

Colonel: All this junk data  preserved in an unfiltered state, growing at
             an alarming rate.

Rose: It will only slow down social progress, reduce the rate of
             evolution.

Colonel: The digital society furthers human flaws and selectively rewards
             the development of convenient half-truths. Just look at the
             strange juxtapositions of morality around you.

Colonel: You exercise your right to "freedom" and this is the result. All
             rhetoric to avoid conflict and protect each other from hurt. The
             untested truths spun by different interests continue to churn and
             accumulate in the sandbox of political correctness and value
             systems.

Rose: Everyone withdraws into their own small gated community, afraid
             of a larger forum. They stay inside their little ponds, leaking
             whatever "truth" suits them into the growing cesspool of society
             at large.

Colonel: The different cardinal truths neither clash nor mesh. No one is
             invalidated, but nobody is right.

This shit gives me the tingles
