< My favourite way to eat fish involves grilling it and adding it to a spicy or sour soup, with additional ingredients such as vegetables, mushrooms and pork, all served in a metal pan with a burner underneath.
> I guess people in Gillingham, Dorset and Gillingham, Norfolk would disagree with people in Gillingham, Kent on how GIF should be pronounced.
v What's the most unique combination of ingredients you've had in a dessert?

^ most likely a combination that i wouldn't -- it may be unique, but nobody said i had to be able to identify it~ and also i don't most of the things i eat all that well, not on the spot... i forget taste and generally am not the person to ask for food-related questions. however, to give at least some answer, although it probably isn't the most unique i've had (because i wouldn't know if i can't to begin with), i guess i would include something like chili and lemon flakes on bread... maybe in the top twenty of the list, in some unknown position

< i don't want to live like this. but i don't seem to know how to bring myself to willingly stop this gross negligence of my well-being. it feels like i can't live until i have a sense of self i can willingly develop through a method i can tangibly reach and understand. and that person, as i see it, would have had to be born in different circumstances much more suitable for them to behold than this

> i fear you all, kind of, but not entirely. am i exaggerating? maybe it's not fear at all, not so much as it is shame. it's hard to understand people here, but maybe that's people in general... i'm sure it's the same for many others, after all

v what is something you are greatly insecure about that you wish people could understand the nuances of, as well as how they informed your perspective and therefore the way you respond to your circumstances?

^ idk if insecure is the right word (close enough?), but just my entire existance. how i function internally. i tried so hard to be what i was 'supposed' to be, and now when i think of normalacy i just want to retreat into the woods and never be seen again

< i really want to make a video game but i keep avoiding making any actual progress towards that

> octoling/inkling tentacles look very chewable (but they probably taste like paint)

v game you think more people should play?

^ yours, when (not if!! i jest, do as you will) it arrives on itch/steam/[other]...

alternatively, mine, if that story ever gets told well enough to merit the development of a game. i conceived it a few years ago, but have really only fed it what little substance i already feed to myself. there is hardly even a premise beyond the vague promise of imagery

anyway, a more serious but still non-actionable answer:

im not quite sure... i forget what games i valued, and its hard to imagine exactly what value anyone else would derive from them. i could list any game that does come to mind, but i dont think it would qualify, since it would not be truthful to the premise of "people should" that "i think" is prompted to carry

< a great portion of my compensatory and qualifying behaviors is motivated by the fears of being wrong/incompetent, of causing harm, of being incapable of change, and of being insincere/duplicitous. insofar as it matters to me, i would not value those things as indicative of any "inherent virtue", and virtue seems to be enough of an alienating concept for me as it already is, especially in conjunction with "inherent/essential" characteristics, but thats likely only a reflection of those same fears and their implications (which i respond to with escapism)

> i am still surprised people appear to view me as positively as they claim to. is it the privilege of articulation? what do people normally see? what do people normally value that they believe i possess? and how much do i value that in light of wanting not to be a perceptible person so much as an intangible enabler of consequence? how do i use the personhood and characteristics attributed to me for the purposes i bear in mind? why do i intuitively and naturally write like this when i presumably could be less ornamental about myself and ought to make my point more directly? why am i respected in any way, when many others (who i seemed to believe myself to be associable with) are instead more readily disrespected? is it a lack of information, a lack of familiarity? why do i appear mysterious to some? i suppose i could wonder the same from my own perspective... why are people so mysterious to me, "normal" and "abnormal" alike, and why do i seem to care as much as i do if for a purpose beyond my ego or my survival?

v what are your primary spurces of curiosity about people, or alternatively, their behavior in relation to your own?

^ ...whatever intrigues me in the moment i guess? i don't know, i observe people a lot but don't really want to talk to them most of the time. their reactions? foundations for belief? something you could probably summarise as some kind of "theory" of thought? there's a part of me that's obsessed with digesting what i see (and excessively aware of what that can mean), meanwhile i have so little interest in actually applying it because i'm not nearly invested in the actual people themselves or whatever i could seek to gain enough to really want to

and because it's holed away in my brain in a weird manner, i can forget about it easily... and also because i don't exactly trust myself to handle that kind of thing

< i'm kibty

> does the black moon howl?

v what's a morally dubious/outright morally bad thing you'd do if there were no concequences/moral weight/lack of capability/whatever is preventing you from doing it? idk, seems like a question i might get some interesting responses out of

^ even if i would think of a limit to preface it with, i really can't imagine i would be accurate in suggesting there's anything i couldn't do... but maybe the most truthful answer i can consciously give for now is "anything that i'm not deeply uninterested or unable to imagine compelling myself toward doing", but i also am not sure what exactly the prompt means yet. is this a removal of external consequence/impositions/restrictions (inclusive of "is it that nothing happens and nobody cares if i do something, or merely that it has no legal consequence?"), or is it a complete removal of internal inhibition in order to reveal the terrain of what things i might want to do? i would suspect for most if not all cases, my answer more specifically seems inclusive of a variety of things ranging from consistent theft, violation of privacy (think digital surveillance and snooping around for secrets or personal histories) and tresing, disguising myself and gaining access under false pretense (think of maybe being able to listen in on something or retrieve private information without bothering people because they believe i appear like i belong there), discriminating between who i pay money to and withholding a portion of how much i pay if i think someone is well-off or being exploitative... maybe i could also hurt/kill someone if they were doing the same or worse to me or possibly another person, but it's hard to tell because i'm not very aware of what i could want to do even if i were disinhibited... possibly fraud? they're really just guesses at this point because it's hard to believe i would feel compelled enough to put anything to action even when i had the opportunity and lightness-of-heart-or-mind to do so

good question/prompt though, i'm... vaguely interested in seeing what each person would answer with

(if the prompt is still around, hopefully i can answer with something more substantive)

< maybe i should not be trusted with responsibility, i will probably neglect something that's important to other people and will probably be too fearful to attempt anything despite indecision often being one of the worst and least practical approaches. at the same time though, maybe there would be potential for trust if that could be resolved, i seem to take most things very seriously if i believe (or am proven to myself) that i can approach them and for their consequences

v if the person below me could freeze time for however long they'd like, what would they do?

let's make it an easy (and less boring) "you're free of concequence and have all the possible resources available to you to do it (if it's something more complex)". let's assume no outright magic, but if it's something theoretically possible you're able to do it. that's probably better wording. you're not necessarily disinhibited, but if anyone does know they won't take issue, and if they don't (and you don't want them to) they'll never find out

>>

^ a lot of things while having the chance to actually rest. if my bodily processes don't freeze, then i guess some of those things would involve stealing food (premade or i unfreeze time to prepare it, assuming i can do that then refreeze time)

...actually you could get away with a lot of theft with something like that... *pulls up google* ...list of banks in uk... list of atms in uk... addresses of rich people in the uk... how much money can you realistically rob from an atm before people get suspicious... ooooh what about the crown jewels!

^ then my answer is mostly the same, i think... absolutely some amount of surveillance/tresing/disguising, absolutely some theft (the scope could be large but i'm not sure) in different senses depending on how much i can trust i understand its consequences to other people and relevant economic/labor systems (rather than to me), absolutely fraud/piracy whenever i don't agree with something

presumably political crime/immorality as well? as in, espionage, airing out dirty laundry, tipping people off, manipulating political scenes but leaving the decisions to the people themselves and enabling the possibility of removing people in power in some kind of precise and effective manner with minimal practical problems caused. but i don't think i would be willing to do anything which has direct/indirect consequential effect to others until i understood where it led and whether it's plausible it would cause results i liked to see for people and myself

...that's, i'm not sure how morally dubious the latter part is. i don't know if that's actually all i would really do either, just as well as i don't know if i would do nearly as much

< i... don't know if i have any particularly thoughts i care to share yet

> i let go of the arrow format, i don't know if it's from laziness when i evidently am spending as much time as i am on my responses here, but it feels like that's at least part of it. also, stealing a tram, very sympathetic. i hope you get to enjoy that in whatever way you probably will :>

< i kinda wish i didn't say something and edit said something out roughly an hour ago and end up derailing a whole thread. i definitely think its worth practicing my "think before you speak" skills, because saying something without thinking might have just cost me a whole lot of shame for the next few days, or possibly my entire lifetime on OT. really really embarrassing stuff from me. i'm literally repeating my own mistakes again and when i actually realise it that's just embarrassing. i suppose i'll just hide in forum games until i feel brave enough to come back to OT but i'd imagine a lot of s would likely look down on me for my blunder even if i did come back, so i don't even know if i should stay on OT entirely. oh well, i've been banned from youtube, i suppose i can handle being banned from what was my virtual home, kind of.

> my face feels red

v has this person ever thought of a potentially good invention? if so, share it!

^ no, i mean i could have but i don't really know if i would anything or have any kind of plan. conceptually, maybe there would be something if i gave it some time, but i don't have anything in my field of awareness yet. i'll try and repeat this question soon if it hasn't been recycled before i get there, since my answer is kind of boring

Not having to worry about disease, famine etc. is truly a blessing. Also I was literally typing this as you made your response so I'm keeping it in: I don't even play it myself these days, but Realm of the Mad God is a truly unique twist on both the MMORPG and bullet-hell genres. If you can get over the early game "hump" I think it is worth taking a look at. It's probably my most played game of all time.
