My Very Brief Bio

Male, 33 years old. (I'm even more dead than before.)

Likes (other than writing and roleplaying): I'm into all genres of music. I love to cook. I love the outdoors, and walking through the park near my house. (Yes, really.) I read a lot of thriller/mystery novels. And I usually watch seasonal anime. (Or cooking shows. Because Western Media provides even fewer things that are worth watching.)

But as for my many other neglected hobbies, I've played basically every sport. (Soccer and Bowling being my favorite of the bunch.) And I'm trying to play more video games. (Going through my never-ending Steam library.) Plus, I've dabbled in making electronic & metal music, and I used to play a number of instruments. (Guitar, French Horn, etc.)

My 1X1 Interest Check: SleepingSilence's Tavern (Want 1x1 RP's? Please come in.)


Hope you have a wonderful day!

@Grim If they weren't being sarcastic back. (Which that sentence didn't indicate with any context clues for it. Do I have to bring up other forum users and their absolutely pointless/baseless feuds with me to show where I'm coming from?)

No, I can't take someone's "could have ignored me" statement, as anything but ironic as hell, when I'm being called a hypocrite. -.-

(Also, if you're actually starting something with me too. Don't...)
@Inkarnate If I actually properly engaged, people would have a bad time. :P
Skipped over your post entirely because of this sentence. Since when is "suppose" used in the past tense? Disgusting.


You know what...you spelled that out correctly and made it obviously sarcastic. Wasn't cluttered either. So it also works as a joke. As someone who is constantly sarcastic, if someone wants to actually be sarcastic...all for it. <.<

@Odin If you want to playfully troll. Use an emoji or something for f**k sake. >.>
>When you just want to rightfully cuss someone out. But don't...
Coulda just ignored it.


@Odin Yeah, not even dissecting that waste of my time because you didn't even spellcheck your own post, if you 'care'. Coulda isn't a word. You proved my own point...
@Odin If it helps, I was going to point out people bitching about others personal grievances, is some of the most petty goddamn shit I've ever seen. Then I was going to post a gag clip, (spiderman 3 how it should of ended, with the line "You don't understand, I'm sick, that makes it okay to break the law.") to point out the semi-irony of calling out someone else's calling out. While playfully defending being sick for my moodiness. But deleted it figuring, if someone really wanted to, they would be bound to bitch at me and prove my banner meme will never die...

So I mean, I've never said someone can't point out spelling errors in my (actual roleplaying posts) or give me advice/critique. But some people are too piss drunkenly stupid to not know the difference with text speech and writing. No one -needs- to read my bitching about writing. No one cares about text speech in casual chats or conversation. You want to point out my writing flaws that badly? Go through my own goddamn writing on my roleplays and tell me what I could do better. PM me every single thing you could possibly find. And if you find an actual problem. I WILL fix it and even thank you for it. Even if the things are outright dead, just to prove a goddamn point. If you don't know the difference, learn it fast or stop bitching like you're being personally attacked for my statement.

Edit: How is it hypocritical to say, everyone is flawed and plead for people to take constructive criticism and fix their roleplaying posts to make the experience better for the readers that need to read to know what's going on? Please, point out flaws with these paragraphs that I wouldn't even need to make if I wasn't responding to your own ludicrous personal whining against my general statement...
@Inkarnate Yeah, I'm aware. :P (But rarely is someone's biggest problem, not writing enough good material.)

But I'd also personally rather read a good one or two paragraph post, especially during 1x1's where brevity is sometimes required for quick interactions. Instead of thousands of words where nothing- fricking- happens. But everyone has their personal grievances.
@Dynamo Frokane Well I learned at 16...

Not a legal adult, so an unlikely scenario. You need some kind of guardian. Also most people aren't my roommate, so I doubt they'll compete with experiences on that particular front. :P
You can find problems with just about anyone's writing ability. Even the rare ones that actually try to write something compelling to read and at least try to fix your mistakes before posting it. The most useful ability other players can have is taking constructive criticism AND actually doing something about their mistakes.

So many people can't even do that, and I have a feeling at least one person in these 177 pages has been critical about someone's writing ability yet, put absolutely no added effort in their own posts. Spellcheck your work. Cut out repeated words and sentences that add nothing to the post. You're suppose to be making your writing actually interesting to read...have something, anything dramatic happen in your post. (An argument, a fight scene. Whatever actually builds plot or character.) Don't just explain how a character feels, or purple prose about a landscape and exposition dump. Make your post engaging or build up to something interesting. Making long wordy posts that are slog to read doesn't make it any better than someone merely posting a few concise paragraphs.

And I could go on about GM'ing, but that's it's own separate issue...
@SleepingSilence an 18 year old with an opinion.


Maybe I'll clarify something. I won't disregard actions of children. (actions mind.) Especially when committing legit violent crimes. Disciplining when young is the only way you can set little bastards straight. But they'll need to prove themselves that they are capable of intellectual conversation, before I hold their opinion with any weight. I'll believe kids hold those opinions, but age and lacking real world experience will be on my mind. But say, if an 18-19 year old moves out of their folks house, lives by themselves. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt they have street smarts, better than someone whose 30 and lives in their mom's basement. I guess in the same way you prefer people having an education when it comes to certain subjects. So I'll call out bullshit spewed from teens and adults alike, because I dislike misinformation. Anyone who sends death threats should be punished, would certainly deter them. But I will certainly take someone whose live a longer life experience and assume their least likely to change.

Also while typing this, I feel like utter crap and my throat hurts. So not sure if I'll be able to VC. Yay, my roommate and his girlfriend getting me sick at the least opportune possible moment.
