Above user was prooobably on the Internet in the late 90s.
I didn't use Yahoo that much, but I remember it had some cute features like the gradient text . OTOH ICQ was before even my time, I never even got to use it before it merged with AIM |

VOLKS is used in South Africa as a term for the Dutch settlers of South Africa and their descendants, by way of Afrikaans volk.
(and yes, I realize I coulda just depluralized "volts", but this is more interesting and fun) (also for the record "mazed" and "volks" are actually words I knew (I'm digging deep into the back of my brain for some of these) but I have been supplementing the descriptions with dictionary definitions and quotations that I've been googling (in particular my description for volks was slightly inaccurate at first), so...) |

Posted by EpeleOh, gosh, I'll try to answer this as honestly as I can, I guess... I guess I'm really good at retaining knowledge? I tend to soak stuff up like a sponge... my brain has so much, like, stuff in it that I can just pull out at a moment's notice. Relatedly, I'm good at extrapolating from the things I know and predicting what'll happen, I guess. I'm good at "connecting the dots". I tend to be the first to notice trends out of the people in my social groups. People tell me I'm good at writing; I've never really thought so myself, but it's something I'm told a lot, so I guess that counts for something? I guess I'm good at articulating myself verbally, although there's always things going on in my head that I feel like I can't fully articulate... Those aren't always the things I wish I was the most, though. Like, I wish I was nicer and I wish I was more empathetic. Posted by ゼンガー・ゾンボルトYeah! That's how I always make 'em (or eat 'em if I'm asked how I want them). |

Nope, nope, and nope. Are these all on Netflix? I don't watch a lot of Netflix, so... (actually I don't watch a lot of TV or movies in general, really) |

Banned for interpreting my perfectly innocent joke in a positively scandalous sense! How ribald! How vulgar! How crass! How tasteless! |

I'm genuinely surprised at how high I've been placing. I'm not normally so talkative on forums, but for some reason I'm getting along well with the crowd here, I guess...

Posted by ゼンガー・ゾンボルトCave Story Quote? Otherwise, I dunno. Speaking of, I just caught Zenyatta? Isn't that an album by The Police |

Posted by ThieppyDepends on which bunnies. Posted by ゼンガー・ゾンボルトI don't think I have a single favorite. Skyward Sword might come the closest? Otherwise, I dunno. I can tell you my favorite game for each year, though, apparently. |

Posted by EpeleYou are driving a hard bargain, ma'am.Posted by RamblyThese bunnies? Posted by DanikaI've never played a Dragon Quest game, so I'm tempted to pick Tales by default. I have a feeling I'd end up liking Dragon Quest more if I actually played a Dragon Quest game, though |

What were you doing in 1991? I ask because I was too busy being a baby and probably puking on my parents to pay attention then. |

I already mentioned this on Jul, but I wanna revive this thread cuz it's a good thread, so have some non-Kafuka-exclusive content:
I'm playing Perfect Dark for the first time. My roommate's been pestering me to play it for the past 13 years (things that happened in the time that I've spent deferring playing Perfect Dark: 3 presidential elections (including Barack Obama's entire 8 years as president), Hurricane Katrina, the mortgage crisis and Great Recession, the death of Osama Bin Laden), me realizing I was trans, me coming out as trans, me getting on HRT (there's about a 4-year-gap between each of the last 3 events ), but I'm finally getting around to it!! The level design's some of the best I've seen in an FPS (I think of the FPSes I've played only Doom beats it, but then I haven't played Doom II or 64 ), and the graphics are really, really, realllllly good for an N64 game holy crap they're genuinely impressive. The only criticism I have is that the framerate is awful, which, duh. It does get a little problematic when you're in a hectic situation where like 10 people are shooting at you, which is like, the worst time for the framerate to dip. (There is, hilariously, a hi-res mode that makes the framerate even worse -- I might play around with it later, but no way in hell I'm trying it on my first playthrough.) But God is it fun in spite of that. I'm even going to go out on a limb here and say it's a massive improvement over Goldeneye, a pretty good but not amazingly great game. I also genuinely think Goldeneye is one of the ugliest games on the N64, so the fact that Perfect Dark is one of the best-looking shows how much Rare had honed their talents towards the end of the era. They really hit their peak around that time, and it's a shame they only had about 2 years left before they completely collapsed. Posted by DanikaAhhh, goddamn I need to play that again. I am REALLY aching for Chrono Trigger right about now, actually. I might have to buy the DS version soon... |

Why are maps silly?
Is "Maps" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs silly? Was that "I'm the map" segment that was on Dora the Explorer silly? Because I'm gonna be honest that segment annoyed the shit out of me when I was like 9 (that whole show did really) |
