The internet vs real-life

Talk about anything here that there isn't another specific forum for. General chit-chat between the SG regulars. The Moderators will be sad pandas if you spam... too much.

Re: The internet vs real-life

Post by xen »

I find that although I'm generally the same online and offline in many ways, it depends on the people I'm around.

For example, I'm extremely open and talkative online because I find people are more trusting when they have some dirt on you, but in real life if someone is hesitant, shy or outgoing, my personality will match with that. Whether I like it or not, my personality goes to match people in real life, whereas online I care less.

The RDM is exactly the same in real life as online.

Except that in real life he speaks in second person instead of third.

You refer to yourself in the second person? That's infinitely more confusing than referring to yourself in the third person.

That'd be like a cup of acid. Throw some vinegar in there while you're at it.

It was a cocktail from Xenosaga 2 and me and Kat were drunk and decided to make it for breakfast in real life.

The RDM somehow missed the section of Xenosaga that pertained to bartending.

I somehow missed all the sections of Xenosaga that came after I quit right at the end of the first one.

It wasn't a bad series as a whole, but number 3 wasn't too great (from what I played)

2 was a bit of a non game. Beginning to end was about 8 hours, and 7 of it was cutscenes.

The battle system was broken in a fun way.

Well, the best part about Firebrand is that, if we get him here, it should be easy to get Bio to stop by for a bit.

Also, it's within the realm of possibility that I recall his name incorrectly. But a quick search in Final Battle proves that I did not.

We do so need a mask of fear and hate sighting to spice things up. Or a flame war. We never have flame wars any more. The RDM hasn't been banned in years!

But flame wars are against the TBB spirit! We can accept flame skirmishes though.
