Hello Everyone ^^ how are you?

 

[KarneraMythos]

Extremely late response, but now, you have wandered into the music of Nier.

I highly recommend for absolutely no reason whatsoever that you all also join in the world of Nier.
What's that? I'm still just a walking Nier Advert?

Hahah, I wish.


So, how much NieR talk did I miss? perhaps, NieR in smash talk?
We shall rise up. we've been discriminated against for too long, gamers.

Tbh, I haven't seen much cheering for characters atm. I'm kinda laid back on my Most-Wanted characters as well, so I feel like there isn't much of the way to discuss. Got to say though: This has been the comfiest info drought so far.

Hello Everyone ^^ how are you?

Yo! How goes the night for you, Princess of Love Cadence?

 

[KMDP]

Hahah, I wish.

You're actually a complicated AI created by Yoko Taro for the sole purpose of advertising Nier and maybe getting 2B into Smash at some point.

I'm on to you. *insert Fry face*

Hello Everyone ^^ how are you?

Hi

 

[ZephyrZ]

Guess who should be sleeping right now but can't?

Hint: It starts with a "Z" and ends in an "achmac".

 

[Alicorn]

Hi

That does brighten my day after what happened yesterday.

Poor Zachmac, did you eat anything that might have triggered your restlessness like caffeine?

 

[ZephyrZ]

I had a can of soda about 7 hours ago. That's it.

Some nights I just can't sleep for some reason. It runs in the family.

 

[Alicorn]

hmm that is troubling, I can only wish you a good night's sleep whenever it may come.

Curious here, but what was the current trend or fad back when you fellas were in school? This can involve speech mannerisms, clothes, whatever crap you can remember.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Not too bad! Still a bit sleepy however.

Oh boy, I can hardly remember due to really keeping to myself during school. I guess what I remember from the early 2000's was the alt-goth scene

Let's see...
Saying "Yolo" was the equivalent of what dabbing is today for a while. You either did it borderline-ironically or you hated it. The dabbing trend started when I was in High School too, I think I was in my Junior or Senior Year.
"Oppa Gangnum Style" caught on in my first year of high school.

I heard "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black-Eyed Peas a lot back in Middle School.

 

[Zinith]

Oh, and skateboarding. Goodness ****ing CHRIST was skateboarding shoved in my face so much as a kid!!!

Interesting question. Being an early 90's boy, I remember stuff like Slammer Whammers which my uncle owned at some point. He gave me the pogs for keeps so now I have a small collection of them. Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network were pretty hot to talk about (though most kids my age talked about the former more). There was also that weird "S" thing that we'd draw, but have no clue where its origins are. I just remember it being the ghetto equivalent to edgy expressionism for goth/scene kids. VCR tapes were also a pretty big thing for me, and I didn't make friends until high school, so there isn't much for the socializing aspect for me to delve into.

That's basically the gist of it. Oh, and drawing fakemons were pretty popular too, I guess. I still remember a few I've made up and even repurposed one as an OC with no ties to Pokemon anymore.

Well, I was a child in the height of the original Pokémon craze. So... yeah.

I was in Year 12/13 (Junior/Senior Year or 11th/12th Grade for Americans) during the second big Anime wave (the time of Naruto and Bleach), but you wouldn't have known it because I'm pretty sure I was the only anime fan in my Year (Grade) of School. One time I caught people talking about Ghibli films near the tail-end of one of the school years. Year 12 was also around the time when GTA 3 became the breakout success of the GTA franchise.

Spoiler: Slightly more personal stuff

After I left school I found out someone had made a fake Facebook Account using my name, which incentivized me to make my own and have an online friend help me get it deleted. I never bothered to read any of the posts so who knows what it said, it used a super generic Naruto avatar (basically this) and I wrote a message to it before it got deleted expressing my disappointment and how whoever made it clearly knew nothing about me (because I wouldn't have used a Naruto avatar).

I knew it was a fake "Me" because my name is just that rare (also it had the same school so, you know...)

I barely actually used the FB account, Social Media isn't really my thing.

Let's see...

Sounds like a time to be alive.

Gnarly.

 

[Zinith]

Also this show was the ****

But it was cool only then and not any other time period

Hello Everyone ^^ how are you?

Tired.
What are people doing at the current time?

Every single dispute ever was settled in Table Tennis

It's 12 o' Clock here and I'm drawing stuff.

I'm also fairly tired because "OH BOY 3AM!"

 

[Ultomato]

13:00 here, but I was up until 5:00 and I already got 3 badminton matches in today

Oh right, there are also cultural differences in the "trends"

 

[Deleted member]

Well, thanks for sharing your ye olde school trends, interesting to see that the levels of cringey-ness haven’t altered one bit.
Also, thanks to KMDP for sharing that bit about the Facebook doppelgänger. Sorry they did that.
I hope I gave all of you a euphoric wave of delicious nostalgia.

 

[Ultomato]

This was a very specific thing for my school actually.

For my time in general, I think "Yolo" was big, hating on Justin Bieber was big, Phineas and Ferb was big, Minecraft was huge

I graduated from high school in 2009. All of that stuff came after

 

[Deleted member]

Justin Bieber was big, Minecraft was huge

Replace Justin Bieber with Ed Sheeran and Minecraft with Fortnite and you have all the current crap. Also, the kids dab all the time, then mock other kids for dabbing. It’s weird.

Like Zinith , I think Minecraft hit it big pretty much immediately after I graduated College (Senior Year of High School for Americans).

The big celebrity hate sacrifice in my time was Brittany Spears

 

[Ultomato]

Oh yeah, different school systems make things complicated...

You guys don't have different schools based on your level of intelligence, do you?

 

[KMDP]

"Celebrity Hate Sacrifice"?

Is that a South Park reference?

Zinith , due to currently using the mobile version and having all the avatars be tiny squares up in the corner, I keep assuming you’re Will on account of the black and white manga avatar.
Ironic considering his current avatar is is colour…

Let me just change my Avatar to something Black and White real quick...
...

...I'm not going to do that (or will I? Who knows.)

Also, Thesaurus, I just realized you're not old enough to remember a life without Social Media being ubiquitous... Huh.

 

[Zinith]

You remember video rental stores?

 

[KMDP]

I remember Video Rental Stores. Though my family never actually used them, with the sole exception of renting SNES games from a Video Game rental store (the shop closed after a while and was never reopened, the owner moved it to a different, larger location, which also closed a few years ago).

I remember I bought Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (for the PS3) from a Blockbuster (I bought both on the same day, Oblivion was going cheap so I decided "Eh, might as well pick it up").

Yep…
What was it like before the invention of fire social media?

Jeez, we used to practically LIVE in the Parkland, WA Hollywood Video Store

We actually had one in my area ‘til a few years ago. It was replaced with a circuit gym thingy.
It was the last of its kind…

I don't know what the old video rental stores I used to frequent are like since I don't live in Washington anymore. Sad.

 

[KMDP]

Pretty much the same.

Despite what Old Folks claim the people who are the type to engage constantly in their smartphone have always found ways to keep to themselves. If they weren't looking at a Smartphone they'd be looking at something else, like a Newspaper.

I don't know what the old video rental stores I used to frequent are like since I don't live in Washington anymore. Sad.

Speaking of sadness.

Every time I see the boarded up shop (that used to be a Game rental store) I feel a little sad (which is often because I pass by it once a week while coming back from Grocery Shopping).

Ah, the ‘one night’ rentals were the most evil thing on Earth. Who wants to rent the latest film for one night? Then you get overdue fees.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

What are people doing at the current time?

Feeling bad about myself, and listening to some music, because at least it's something to pass the time. You know, the usual.

 

[Zinith]

My parents also designed their VHS storage setup so I don't take the clamshell cases and take the tapes out. Yes, I did that all day and I even remember doing it too. I have a bizarre attachment to that dated format known as VHS

Edit: my mom even has video footage of me doing it. Yes, seriously
