ALPHAOMEGA247'S PROFILE

I've discovered that a good way to lose friends is to imply that their mother is a llama. Alpacas and guanacos REALLY hate that. Leaving rotten turnips in someone's sock drawer is also a sure-fire way to unfriend them.

Though if we're being serious, I am literally the same as kentona. Except not Canadian.

^ Eats way fancier shit than I do.

< Is eating Cookie Crisp. And has never had a wedge of brie in the fridge.

v Has alektorophobia.

the way you have to torque your wrist to hit the B button is horrid, and you need a double-jointed thumb to hit X, and the tiny C-stick is unreachable. On a normal SNES or Wii Classic controller, your thumbjoint rests comfortably on the B button and the other 3 are quick and natural and easy to reach.

the three-pronged N64 feels more natural, and that's saying something

lol dud ur wack man heheheh :P

I guess I can see where you're coming from; the button layout for the GC controller isn't always ideal. I know that the Mega Man Anniversary Collection was virtually unplayable for me due to the GC controller. But in most cases, it worked just fine. I guess it just comes down to personal preference... like... everything, I guess.

The N64 controller is a curious creature, though. My time spent with it has been very limited, but I'm not even sure how to hold it. I guess a lot of people hold onto the middle prong and control the stick with their thumb, but that just feels wrong to me. I have to hold onto the left side and operate the stick with my index finger on top/thumb on the bottom. And even THAT is awkward for me.

I ban Marrend for not bludgeoning me with inspiration. I remain uninspired.

I'm awful at making friends in real life, mostly because I'm exceptionally private. Even when I know that the person I'm talking with shares my interests, for some reason I just don't feel comfortable revealing anything about myself or said interests. It literally takes ages for me to open up to people. Once I do, everything is fine, but getting to that point is a long and arduous process... and I'm eternally grateful for the friends I have who stuck around all that time.

I'm not as bad on the Internet, but it's still not super easy for me to insert myself into a community like this one. I lurked around here for a long time before I decided that you weren't entirely awful people and there was a chance that I might fit in and perhaps even make a friend or two. Or none.

Most of my common interests ( making games, Fire Emblem and the Sims )

I love all of those things. XD

It is admittedly... not quite the same as being there with them, but I still consider my online friends far closer despite our physical distance.

This. I was sick on New Year's Eve last year, so I was unable to go out or do anything. I wound up spending the entire night online with my Internet friends, and I think I probably had a better time with them than I would have had with my real life friends.
