    Mr. Divergent Asks You Questions [AYA] Thread

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    What a splendid idea!
     

    Spoiler

     

    1. Why did you choose (insert username) as your display name? 


    I never used nicknames for any of my characters in whatever game and went with a short form of my real name (Michael -> Micha).
    For once I wanted to choose something that I think sounds cool.
    Crossimpact is a cool skill in Ragnarok Online. I played that for ~6 years. So that's cool.



    2. If you won 100000 dollars/euros/pesos/etc in a lottery, what would you do with it? 
     

    Okay, let's talk priorities here. Gaming PC + games first.
    Goddamn 2012 laptop.


    Second: Travel around the world to meet some old friends and new people. As Reborn is the only community I'm (starting to get a little more) active in, that'd be a good start I guess!
    Prepare strawberry cake please.
    I'll pay for it.


    Third: Get a special something for each of my friends and everyone else I hold dear.


    I'm happy with keeping the rest to pay rent and food for a while.



    3. How do you spend majority of your free time?


    Definitely video games - mostly LoL, not only playing, but also watching a bit of LoL's competitive scene and coaching content. Oh, I'd enjoy trying to coach someone, by the way.
    Most other games come and go, but I enjoy frequently replaying the Borderlands series and other games (i.e. XCOM, Skyrim).


    Second place is held by studying (and a little bit of playing) the ancient board game of Go (also called Baduk in Korea or Weiqi in China). It's a pure mindsport.
    I'm not very good at it - for now. :P
    If anyone is interested, I'd love to show you the basics like I learnt them around a year ago.



    4. What are your favorite songs? 


    I'm not really listening to music. If I do, I prefer anything BUT German (which is my mother tongue) for singing - that is, English and Japanese.
    For the most part, give me drums and e-guitars and I'm happy.
    Some Japanese first, you'll realize I have watched Naruto.

    By My Side - Hemenway
    Rockin' Playing Game by SuG

    Sign by FLOW
    Toumei Datta Sekai by Motohiro Hata
    Diver by NICO Touches the Walls
    Lovers by 7!! Seven Oops
     

    As for English, I like Sum41 a lot overall. Being romantic is great, so I vote "With Me" for their best song  :3


    Other than those, if at all, I tend to turn on music from games.
    Darude - Sandstorm
    GlitchCity's music is really awesome of course.
    Song of the Dragonborn from Skyrim

    and for a slow and thoughtful ending: Passing Afternoon by Iron & Wine



    5. Have you ever had your first kiss? If so, at what age? 

    Yep, at the age of 17... or was it 18? Not too many more since then.
    Video games always steal my heart! Or people I meet through those live too far away for a real kiss.



    6. What is your motivation in living life everyday? 

    None. ... ... ...
    Heh, gotchu. On a serious note, in general, I perceive "living your everyday life" as nothing but a hassle. 
    I started looking for a real motivation again recently.
    Friends and family make for a good point, but there can be more.
    Fulfilling the answer of question 2 in the regular way sounds nice as well... 

    I'll keep on looking.


    7. What is better: school or work? 
    School. Real obligations and expectations make me highly uncomfortable.
    Probably I'll have to finally prove to myself that I can get shit done.
    And schoolfriends >>> workmates.



    8. What is your favorite pokemon type and pokemon? 

    My favourite type is Dragon, as those are mystical creatures (especially before Gen 3).
    Also, Dragons are really cool in general.
    Therefore my favourite Pokemon is Victini.
    ....
    Damn, you noticed. Both is true though!



    9. Who is your favorite fictional character? Why? 


    The moon landing. OH, you said character. Excuse me.
    Sue the moat guard. OH again.
    My girlfriend? Ah, never gets old.
     

    Ok by now I have spent more time on thinking about that question than for consuming meals today. 
    So before I actually get mad about it, I'll take the most recent one and say it's princess Elise of Nohr from Fire Emblem Fates.
    Why? 
    "Because what we need is caring, and a warm hand, and tears."

    And tons of hugs, smiling faces and a lot of happiness.
    Humanity has come quite far technologically but is still totally inept socially.



    10. Are you: the type of person who would give if someone asked you or the type of person who would approach the person needing something or neither?


    You missed "both".
    So. Both.
    If what I can help with is something I enjoy as well / can easily afford I'm the first to offer.
    If it's something I don't enjoy and needs lots of time (or even money) thennn it depends on my relationship to said person.


    This would bring us to the philosophical discussion about altruism, wouldn't it?

    Being selfless is an admirable virtue ; yet being asked to help also means that your opinion or actions are actively valued.
    I think that people need to know they are appreciated - which is not a bad kind of "selfishness", if you can even call it like that.
