| | Metal_Man88's Post | All right, here goes attempt #3 to finish this post without getting distracted and forgetting.
Hmmmmmmmmm...
I am... a weird person, from long ago, but not too long ago Acmlm-board wise. I specialize in a bunch of random niche things that you probably wouldn't entirely comprehend at first glance. Basically I'm an internet person, who does Computer Science stuff. My specialty is doing various software engineering things and also various writing things, though, so you can sort of understand from here I guess.
My pastime is mostly a combination of engineering solutions, writing about history of internet-related things I do, and writing science fiction. Also moderating IRC channels and running communities. I am known as the "Robot" or "Computer" because I think like one, though I wouldn't let that make you think I don't have emotions--those are also there, just a bit tricky to see engaged without something to give me a reason to activate them, rather than the normal way you might expect people to use them.
One of my favorite fictional characters is one I made up myself--Anthon Tark, a general who fought off an overwhelming enemy force who invaded his town after a devastating war and tried to convert everyone to a cult. He fought them tooth and nail, eventually encountering other foes but never wavering or giving in, and even becoming somewhat genre saavy about the nature of all the Mary Sue-ish enemies he kept ending up fighting. His deadpan attitude and tendency to write his own lines led me to use him in other games than the one he came from, and it seems there's no end to various things I could write with him in it.
Though the other importance is that character helped me learn how to also make other characters better, so it was more than just that one character that I was helped by having that experience writing that character.
My favorite color is a dark blue. It makes me think of the inside of my eyes, imagination, the sky, and infinity, and time, and calmness, logic and depths of the ocean. It is a neutral color that I like to use to set my mind in the mood to write things.

Being a Sonic fan, let's just say that I know the "visible, terrible fanbase" thing in spades, too. X_X

Has anyone actually been in that position? Because frankly, it kind of sucks.
2/3 of the way to homelessness, yes. I had a house over my head, but it wasn't one that belonged to my family, and there was always the aspect of losing it entirely... plus I haven't had a place to just set out my stuff and not have the specter of moving over my head for years.
That said, it takes intentional self-degradation to allow yourself to become the typical homeless bum. Even without a house, I managed to take showers and such. :p
I don't really take others making fun of homelessness seriously either.... after all, perspective-wise, I couldn't expect other people to know what it's like.

| | Metal_Man88's Post | I tend to keep one in my head. I don't have the dedication to write it down.
In a way, I tend to write to it using IRC rambling to myself in a dead channel or two I have that I can use for that. So... that sorta counts.... maybe???

| | Metal_Man88's Post | It was a hot Summer. I was in the Thwomp Tower thing with the brick people... I forget the name, in SM64.
Mario fell from the platforms above into the water... then he melted through the floor part way, and the music played all distorted and static-like. It freaked me out for a moment.

| | Metal_Man88's Post | I only see snow on trips to other places.
Taking down a tent in snow is... brrrrrrrr. I'm not really built to take the cold, so... yeah. Snow is kinda nasty to me.
Though I do enjoy the occasional snowfall and snowball fight.

| | Metal_Man88's Post | It's EA which is liable to crash, not the video game industry. Clever Noob has ultimately forgotten to show that any other company other than EA is doomed. Especially since at least one console has so far confirmed the used game thing as not being a thing.

| | Metal_Man88's Post | As much as this forum is inactive, I'm not going to just let people tell new people to go leave it forever.
Refrain from linking to that other forum here in the context of "Go away from here and never return"--if I had planned to quit and let this die for good, I'd have had this forum redirect to there.
