What does the fox say?

[Kurotsune]

Also known as "what does the fox answer the question you ask with????///" but i figured the other one was more eye-catching.

Welp, it is AMA time again, so sure let's do this.

Like last time, I'll add to each response my sincere opinion about the person asking, if I had one.

Except this time I guess I'm doing it in l33t sp34k because why the fuck not

When you're actually serious you have the ability to tell a story in a manner that I couldn't even begin to replicate. So, where/how did you learn to write like you do?

The short answer is read. A lot. I consistently maintain the habit of reading at least one book per week.

That'd mean that I have read, during the entirety of my life, nearly 1000 different books.

So I know how to deliver a story by example.

The long answer is read, write, study how others do it, pay attention to anything and everything related to it. Knowing how to deliver a story is 80% knowing how to write one and 10% knowing how to read your audience. The last 10% is your vocabulary.

What's been annoying you in this community lately?

I feel like corners are being cut in several different spots and that there's an overall lack of organization this place suffers from. To add to it, I'd daresay there's an issue of indifference towards this place by some among the high administration that effectively cripples the place from going forward.

More absolute stances need to be taken with less attempts to please everyone. Some people won't be pleased, others shouldn't be. The ground is there, there just isn't anyone willing to stand on it.

Do you know what a fox wedding is?

1-> Pão de queijo is definitely something everyone should try. It's the best thing ever created, period. I've never in my life met anyone who disliked it, even if the person didn't like cheese.

Cocada is also great if you like coconut and sweet things.

Last but not least, picanha. It's not consumed as much as it should elsewhere despite being easily one of the best cuts of beef on the hands of someone who knows how to cook it properly (which is basically any Brazillian, really).

2-> Greece, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

3-> "If you want to go out with me, smile a bit. If you don't, do a triple backflip." Is probably the funniest one. The other ones I like are all way too dirty to post here. The other ones still rely on the language being portuguese to work.

But basically I really like wordplay.

Never saw any of them work though.

4-> When is it ever just one or the other?

5-> Nope, no tv shows for me. Sorry!

6-> I know the japanese tale, but other than that, no idea.

Exactly the feeling i was going for...naaa that's just how i am (borderline sociopath i think).

Now the questions:

1) If you encountered an intelligent alien life form what would you do/say first?

2) If there is a person you really like but can't stand some of their traits what do you do?

3) If it was possible would you make a sentient digital copy of youself?

4) Who is your favorite historical leader?

[Godot]

Why are you so Tsun?

[Kurotsune]

Why are you so Tsun?

To be completely honest it's probably because I'm a very proud person with an intense personality and I associate showing emotion as a display of weakness.

On the other hand I'm a fairly emotional person and I tend to let that side show to the people I'm closer to, so although I care deeply about a lot of people, I only let a few people know about it.

Which apparently is textbook tsundere.

4) Who is your favorite historical leader?

1-> "OH MY FUCKING GOD WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HOLY SHIT HELP" and flee. I'm not a coward, but I'm not in any way going to pretend to put in a brave front.

2-> "Like" and "respect" are connected to me. I can't like someone if I can't respect them. On the other hand, if I can respect someone because of one particularly strong positive trait (like being very clever, or witty, or generous, etc) I can usually look past their negatives. If something is particularly upsetting to me I advise how to medicate them, but the choice is ultimately theirs. If all else fails, I say my goodbyes and part ways.

3-> Sure why not

4-> Good question. In hopes that the term "leader" is used loosely, I'm going to say John D. Rockefeller. Not only is he still one of the greatest leaders in the economic industry, after amassing his fortune he turned his efforts into philantrophic work for the rest of his life. Maybe not a leader of people in the most literal of senses, yet he is still a person I'd strive to be.

Favorite Genre of book to read?

What programming languages can you use? Which is your favorite?

I have a CPS and a CLS - (C++ and C senior programmer licenses respectively) from the C++ institute and C++ stands tall as my favorite programming language.

I advocate however that every developer worth their salt has to have at least a decent mastery over the C language. A decent C developer can do a lot of things, but a master of the C language can do anything and it looks like a fucking work of art.*

I can program efficiently as a consequence in nearly every language in the C family. I particularly hold decent knowledge over the Java language and above-average knowledge of the Ruby language.

I am intent on learning C# on the side and getting a microsoft certification for it by the end of the year, but current developments may have put a stop on that.

I also can handle myself in Python, PHP, most Assembly languages and some visual basic.

As my main field of work is software engineering aimed at database development and maintenance, my highest ability lies within SQL, Cobol and more specifically ABAP, which I have a SAP Expert certificate for.

That's all I can recall.

1 s4w y0ur pr0gr4m. 1t w4s w311 d0n3.

* As a disclaimer, I'd like to point out that I've only had two people in my life whom I've considered my mentors. One of them is the man who taught me software engineering, and he is a very, very seasoned developer with over 20 years of experience in C and C only. He's probably to blame for my traditionalism, but he's one of the masters I've spoken of and probably the only person who's ever left me speechless by sheer demonstration of logic ability.

What academic achievement are you looking forward to the most? (Could be just learning something specific, or a degree of some kind)

Additional question: Why foxes?

1-> Currently, my next degree. It's taking a bit, but I'm getting there.

2-> Foxes represent a sly kind of wisdom. Intelligence used for mischief. Mean, and at times cruel, but not inherently evil.

Yet foxes are also portrayed as messengers, guardians and gentle benevolent guides. All in all, I just feel like the symbolism behind the fox fits me.

How many times this week have I had to re-set the single autojoin I use?

How many times this week have I had to re-set the single autojoin I use?

1-> After forcing myself to learn him, gotta say I love Genji. Very useful no matter which map, very high mobility, very high outplay and picking potential. It's a great character to look and feel like a badass.

2-> Sona is actually one of the better supports in my opinion. I like the "true support" characters and I think Sona is by and far one of the coolest ones.

3-> Ask Japan! The noise foxes make is actually very screech-like. Incidentally, trying to find out that answer through google I discovered that in archaic japanese the sound a fox made was called "Kitsu" and the reason they're called "kitsune" is because it translates literally to "thing that goes kitsu"

How cool is that?!

4-> As many as it took. You know it's for the best, Ika-chan
