    man fuck people who express the things they like to others in public, the nerve
    you're supposed to be a bitter emotionless bundle of conformity like me who derives nothing from day to day existence

    i definitely have this issue

    i guess i want so strongly not to be typified or pigeonholed that i try and not really associate with anything: guns, jiu jitsu, running, video games, fashion

    everything has its negative connotation and i don't want some theoretical funeral for me to be 'john chu: in total, a man who loved outkast, blowjobs, and sichuan food'

    it is a p stifling, world-is-closing-in-on-me feeling, that i am reducible to certain things

    so i guess i only really want to show off or advertise those interests of mine which are sort of sterile and mature and hard to use as ammunition for typification of my character

    nobody I work with even knows I play video games and its like a huge part of my life, I'm afraid to even talk about movies because if I let on that I thought Frozen and Lego Movie are two of the best movies of the last year they might think I'm childish or a pedophile or something

    so I just pretend to like the packers and alcoholism and other stuff adults in wisconsin are supposed to like

    like i don't even wanna be the packers guy or the alcoholism guy

    i guess in my ideal world i know a lot about everything, i can talk intelligently on a given topic

    but i'm so stingy with my interest, focus, and passion that i'm not 'given' to any one thing and no one thinks of me as the ____ guy

    no posters, no stickers, no fandom, no attending concerts, no going to sporting events

    because i can't like a certain thing, i must be aloof for fear of social compartmentalization

    it is horrifying

    you know that is interesting. i rarely find myself reluctant to mention something i am interested in or had been thinking about.

    i guess it never even occurred to me that i might be pigeonholed as "that ____ guy"

    Have some damn courage of your convictions. If you think anime is cool, fine. I might look down my elitist nose at you. If you can't live with that it honestly says more about you than me. (I'm actually OK with anime, its just not for me. But to use the example that's being tossed around). If you want to be an individual, be a fucking individual. Part of that is people disagreeing with you.

    I think it says a lot about you too!

    No one has said you can't dislike things. I have more of a problem with "I feel so sorry for those anime nerds they'll never get anywhere in life" etc.

    I'm going to suggest Sword of the Stranger for anyone who wants to watch a movie with some of the best animation ever seen in an anime movie.

    It's a work of art as far as the animation itself go. Plot is pretty standard action movie though. (Save the kid! Redeem yourself) But the voice actors (both original and dub) aren't half bad.

    In honor of the 30th anniversary of The Hitchhiker's Guide, the BBC has done a web version of the Infocom game for free.

    mostly i think it's bad because like was said it's game over once you maintain sustainability and then the only interesting choice you're faced with is "do i expand and risk upsetting the delicate balance, or maybe a disaster at an inopportune time, or do i not do that, and contentedly trim the bonsai tree that is my little burg'

    also it makes you wait too long for citizens to grow up and junk and there's no mystery about what is the best way to do buildings so all i'm really doing is plopping down stuff and waiting for new children to come in while hoping a sequence of disasters don't murk me

    i guess it's really good if you liked the new sim city

    yeah all of this is true but i fail to see how that is bad if what you want is to trim your bonsai.

    like, what do you get from the other stuff you play that you dont here?

    i wasn't paying attention and i think i must have left the edit box open when i quoted something else and then out of habit i deleted the rest of the post that wasn't what i wanted to quote because i assumed it was some draft shenanigans

    anyway out of other games it's mostly more interesting choices to me and yeah, more content. like, as long as you play conservatively, i'm not sure there's any real decisions to be made in sculpting your town because the needs of your people follow a very definite hierarchy (food/warmth->health->happiness->education (to squeeze more out of the citizens you have). you can either mix it up by having outside forces to compete with, ala dwarf fortress/gnomoria, where you not only have to juggle your people's survival against nature but weigh that against preparing defenses against attacks. or even something more peaceful like in anno where even in modes where combat is disabled, resting on your laurels cedes land, resources, and strategic positioning to your opponents

    mostly what i miss are those agonizing decisions where you only have a few resources and you need to decide how to allocate them

    maybe my seed was too good or something. i got to about 80 citizens, my last scare came hours ago when i let in some nomads without realizing how many resources they would consume, a lesson quickly learned, and it's been pretty peaceful ever since. i do like how rickety the act of expanding always seems to be, but it takes soooo long for citizens to come of age that i just got bored.

    The default speed is ludicrously slow.

    There is nothing you could get into that would change your inherit chuness.

    What fucking part of "You are the best of us" don't you understand?

    Oh, all of it, because you couldn't be the best of us if you had a shred of legitimate Ego in you. Nobody cares if you like Adidas and Ed Hardy Shirts. If you kick the bucket I am not going to care about that stuff. I am just going to care that I can't ever make you feel terrible about laughing at something terrible again.

    So you're looking down your nose at me? But I like making value judgements!

    You have to pick an ethos in life. You judge people. That's what people do. If you think you're don't you're lying to yourself. If you're talking to a coworker and s/he let it slip they were into simulated child snuff pornography and dog fighting, you'd judge them. If a date was living with his mom in a double wide and had never worked a day in his life since he dropped out at age 14, you'd judge him.

    Even in this thread, "so I just pretend to like the packers and alcoholism and other stuff adults in wisconsin are supposed to like"

    That's super judgemental. And there's nothing wrong with that.

    No matter what you like, or what you do, there are going to be people who look down on your for it. If you spend your weekends volunteering at a soup kitchen, some people will say you're a dilettante for only helping on the weekends, some will say you're boring, some will say you're only treating the symptoms. And you might think they are sanctimonious, irresponsible and cold respectively.

    Do what you like. Think what you think. People are going to judge you. You're going to judge others. If you can't get over that, you can't live an adult life, at least not without heavily conforming and sticking to "your kind." If you live your life paralyzed by what other people think of you, you're allowing them complete control of your life.
