The Count of Monte-Cristo.
Or Kratos if you speak videogames :) Who's your favourite videogame character? |
There are many and a lot of them from different genres and different franchises. There's definitely some sort of theme going on. Like, I like a lot of characters who kinda got screwed over by the story/the devs of the games in some way. Like Sena from Xenoblade 3 or Sheba from Golden Sun: The Lost Age.
What was the last book you read? |
The Nowhere Men by Michael Calvin. It's a book about the world of football (soccer) scouting in the UK. I imagine much of what goes on applies to all walks of talent scouting and it's pretty depressing for everyone involved. Would recommend!
What's your least favourite movie genre? |
History based movies. Not my vibe.
What's the weather like where you live? |
Right now? Cloudy, but dry, with a freezing cold wind.
If you want in general; there's so much variation that idk which would be the most frequent weather =P Do you have any robots, like say a roomba? |
Nope. I'm not a very 'modern' person in general. I don't even have a smart phone.
Do you like classical artwork? |
What do you call "classical artwork"? 😅
I'll say yes, I love beautiful things! What's the most beautiful Pokémon for you? (Doesn't have to be your favourite) |
I'm just a regular Gardevoir stan. ^^"
When was the last time you boarded a train? |
Sadly never. I've always wanted to though, just never had a reason.
Quote:
Edit: I did, sorry. I got caught up answering StCooler and forgot to ask something myself lol. |
Since Alex forgot the question, I guess I'll answer it too. It's been like two years ago. I used to ride the subway a lot back home, but ever since I relocated for school in the current town I'm in, I have my own car now.
Do you actually enjoy your job, or is it just something you do for the money? |
My previous job, no. It was incredibly boring and wasn't the role I'd interviewed for.
My new job which I start in 2 weeks, we'll see! But I mostly just see jobs as a necessity for money. What is your favourite colour? |
Take a wild guess :coolcat:
Is there anything you'd like to get better at? |
One thing is getting better at drawing fast. I realize I get very detail-oriented and perfectionistic when I draw, which slows me down.
Do you like roller coasters? |
I've never been on a roller coaster, but they terrify me. I feel that if something goes wrong, my life is over.
What are your biggest pet peeves? |
Too many things...
People hogging the squat rack for an hour at the gym, those advertisements in the form of an equation that states something mathematically false (you know what I mean, like "1+1=3" to mean that if you buy 2 you get 3), people speaking slowly, people using fallacious reasonings (in particular when they're trying to convince me), "political hooligans" (people living for their political opinions), conspiracy theorists, the list goes on and on. What year would you say was your best one? |
Probably one of the years before I started to go to school. ^^"
Are you getting sick often? |
Not at all, but this year a little more. Not wearing masks anymore made us more vulnerable lol.
Do you practice any sport? |
Not anymore. I used to play football (soccer) up until I left university and I wish I could still play, but where I've been living it's not been an option. I do calisthenics though, but I wouldn't call that a sport!
What's your favourite cuisine? And a special question for cooler: Spoiler:
|
Do you mean recipe ?
I hesitate between letters shaped pastas and bruschetta! Do you like to spend time on video games' main character creation (shape, colors, eyes, etc...) |
In videogames where you can create your own character I usually either:
-try to make something normal looking, like a regular member of whatever race I end up picking. -or just go crazy and create the biggest monstrosity I can. *thinks of his male Saints Row character involuntarily* I don't mind spending some time on it, but I don't like spending too long on it. I don't think it's ever taken me longer than 60 minutes and that's when I'm indecisive on things =P I'd say on average they're done in under 30 minutes. Have you played any 'VR' games? |
Nope, but I have participated to an augmented reality experiment where I was buying things from a supermarket with a visor. It was quite cool. They should still make some progress, but I was pretty amazed.
What's your favourite food? |
Unfortunately, no vegetables :)
In no particular order: Tandoori chicken, Vietnamese nems, pineapple-less pizzas, grilled ham-cheese sandwiches. What are your 5 favourite bands/singers? Quote:
|
A very tough question for someone who enjoys all kinds of music. For the sake of simplicity I'll just mention the 'American groups' that I listen to pretty often.
"The All-American Rejects", "The Fray", "Pearl Jam", "Owl City", I honestly couldn't think of a fifth for this category so I'll just go with "U2" for my last one. Though for me to say I have a favorite creator of music is impossible. Have you ever dyed your hair? |
I've never done anything noteworthy with my hair. :(
Would you like to join a band or have you ever been part of one? |
I don't think it counts but I was in my school orchestra. I would definitely want to get in an orchestra or even a band, but I need to go back to study violin lol.
Are you an introvert or an extrovert? |
Spoiler:
Introverted. Is this glass half full or half empty to you? Spoiler:
|
I try to be as half full as possible!
Where is your ideal vacation location? |
In my bed :D
How do you define intelligence? |
I define intelligence as the ability to comprehend using different types of mental processes, such as memory, logic, problem-solving, acquiring knowledge, and learning from experience. I define intelligent people as those that do it at a high level.
Do you believe in miracles? |
Hard to say. Surely I don't believe in something religious related, but thinking about miracles as "something extremely rare" or "something unexplainable", I can believe in those. It's either probability or something that we don't know yet.
What's your PC theme? |
The Johto Elite
What's your desktop/smartphone wallpaper? |
My laptop wallpaper is a solid color apparently called 'dark teal'.
It's easy on my eyes. Plus it kinda reminds me of the old 'Windows 2000' era PC's. Edit: Quote:
How old is the thing you're using to browse the site right now? |
9 years.
What's the last videogame you bought? |
Pokémon Violet
Do you have a favorite animal? |
dogs. i love being around puppies and cute dogs.
but tigers are my go to, non pet favorite animals. i have a tiger tattoo! my question: what is an underrated tv show or movie that everyone should watch? |
Sons of Anarchy? Well it's not underrated I guess, just not so popular. The Shield then?
How well do you manage your time? (For example, do you have the time to do everything you plan to do in a day?) |
I'm very peculiar with how I handle my time. But I'm also very annoyed how little I have after work. <_<
How well do you handle your work-life-ballance? |
I don't really have a personal life... I mainly just play games and watch either YouTube or Anime =P
Are there any superstitions you believe in? |
Yes. If you use Play Rough or Draco Meteor at a crucial time and you count too hard on it not missing, it's definitely going to miss.
Who was the 40th President of the United States? |
I never really bothered with useless trivia like that, especially since I don't live in the US. But apparently the 40. was our most beloved neoliberal "privatice everything especially healthcare" asshat of a tool called Ronald Reagan.
You wouldn't believe how often that name plops up alongside a certain British witch of a prime minister when you look a little deeper into politics especially our more modern one... Do you have health issues you know of and are comfortable speaking of? |
Well I'm overweight if that counts, though not like hugely. It's not much of a problem though as my work is physical and at least keeps me from gaining wight =P
I'm not really bothered by it. I don't feel a need to be slim anyway. What's the oldest TV-show, cartoon or movie you can remember watching? |
Do you mean earliest memory or oldest produced?
Either way. Earliest show I remember watching was probably Barney or some other toddler show. As for oldest... Probably the couple of episodes I watched of a very old, very racist, (it was made during WW2 so 'yay wartime propaganda!'... 🤮) Batman 'cartoon' I saw a few years ago. Although it was funny due to how low production it was, the anti Japanese 'messages' it had made it completely unwatchable for me, I'll stick to the Adam West series thanks. What's the worst wartime propaganda you've ever seen? (it can be from any war, not just WW2) |
I don't think I've seen much in terms of "war time" propaganda movies. Well, I've at least seen parts of the "Donald Duck dreams he's a nazi and then wakes up and does the 'god bless America' thing" thing. I have seen some parts of Northern Korean propaganda cartoons mostly through Saberspark's reviews.
Do you read news sites and the likes? |
Not at all, but I should.
Do you have a fav song? |
Déjà vu:

It's really difficult to come up with something that's unique and interesting enough so I'm not wasting the other person's time. I've started coming up with questions and waiting until I have an "interesting" answer to give to a question and I'll go with that. That being said...
What's the first video game you remember playing? |
I don't fully remember what the first was. Most likely candidates are Pokemon Red/Blue or Super Mario/ Super Mario 2.
What's your favorite flower? |
Orchids. I remember seeing very beautiful specimens in a book I had when I was young (and that my father threw when he moved and I wasn't there to save my stuff :( )
Has anyone accidentally thrown something you wanted to keep? |
Not that I can recall, but some have tried. I'm very protective of all my junk things, even to the point of grabbing something of mine from the trash before.
I'm not an easy person to piss off upset, but if someone tosses out something of mine without asking me first I can get really mad. Have you ever lost a friend because of something they did? |
Nope. But I have lost plenty of friends for things I did. :3
Is there a person you remember that you had a crush on? |
Yes and no.
I remember having a crush on someone a couple times. However those were so long ago I don't remember who they were by now xD What's the last movie you saw in a cinema? |
It was the last Marvel movie on Thor. Not the best.
Do you plan to change jobs anytime soon? Quote:
Quote:
|
Unfortunately for me I'm pretty stuck with the job I've got for the foreseeable future.
What's your favorite way to blow off steam? |
Idk. I sometimes just walk around aimlessly and think about stuff. Lying in bed can also be nice sometimes. Even just sleeping and having dreams can be a nice way. I don't really get nightmares. Even the weirdest dreams are still interesting to me in some way. It's all a good way to distract myself.
What's a dream you remember that you really like? |
One I really like is a dream in which I flew above a city at Superman's speed! (possibly THE best dream I have ever had ^^)
What is the last thing you had a blast at doing ? |
I've been mostly shiny breeding for a couple weeks now and all is a blur lol
Errr... whatever my last drawing was, I guess? I swear I'm never shiny breeding a pseudo again after I finish this one... blegh Have you ever uninstalled a game out of rage? |
LoL, three times XD
Last uninstallation: this Monday :) Furi is the only other game I have rage-uninstalled. I gave it three chances, because I really wanted to love it, as it has skilled battle system similar to Dark Souls mixed with bullet hell, but unfortunately I really, really, really, really hate bullet hells. Spoiler:
How was your week? |
Not bad, but also nothing too exemptional. Pretty much as usual.
What time do you usually go to bed? |
Around 8:15 PM during the week and about an hour later during the weekend.
What's the last big meal you had? Quote:
|
Last night I guess? 🤔
Vegetarian 'Beef' Wok pieces with 'Japanese' Wok vegetables. 'Japanese' Wok vegetables in the supermarket here are just the ones with mushrooms in them lol Do you stick to 1 singular brand for your electronic devices (for example: Samsung TVs, Samsung smartphones, Samsung laptops, etc.) or do you not have a brand you stick to for a specific electronic device? |
The very rare times I need somthing electronic (for example the laptop I'm using is a replacement to one I broke like ten years ago) I always just buy
whatever's available with the fewest amount of 'extra features' that I don't understand and didn't ask for. So no brand loyalty from me there lol. Did you sleep well last night? |
I sleep OK in general, but sometimes, I don't know why, I lose one of my earplugs, and for some reason my neighbours decide to move furniture or run in their appartment at 3 am, which wakes me up XD
Complete this personality test: https://www.itero.gg/personality-quiz Which champions do you get for each role? (top / jungle / mid / ADC / support) (If you don't play LoL it's ok, it's just for me :3) |
No idea as I don't even play LoL, but here:
Spoiler:
Now, two questions: aren't those basically almost all characters because that's a lot lol? Secondly, what can this say about me? Lol What is your favourite drink? |
Besides Oran Berry Juice, water! ^^
Quote:
- Moving and hitting fast, - Good at hunting wild foes and minions, - Able to beat tough opponent Champions one on one (Ah, that glorious duel against that armored white bear...), Spoiler:
What is your favourite biscuit ? |
Just the basic chocolate ones are sufficient. But I also like the ones with jelly jam in the middle.
What's your favorite seasonal snack? |
Seasonal snack... chocolate letters count me thinks as they are only available for like 2 months a year roughly and are related to a holiday in December.
So chocolate letters =D Do you socialize with your neighbors or do you leave each other alone? |
We avoid each other like the plague. I'm not a very social person IRL (I'll happily chat with people who start it, but I never initiate a conversation with people I don't know unless it's in a professional capacity) and neither are any of my neighbors and I'm happy to keep it that way.
Quote:
Second group was Kha'Zix, Viego, Nocturne, Master Yi, Diana. Third was Vex (very ironic name for a character for me to get, don't ask), Zoe (SO cute!), Diana(again?), Syndra, Annie. Fourth was Lucian, Vayne, Miss Fortune (nice name lol), Kai'Sa (also kinda cute, but in a 'Morrigan' sorta way), Varus. Last group was Lux, Seraphine, Morgana, Vel'Koz, Xerath. Not at all sure what this tells you, but there ya go! (I also don't play League at all, so I have no clue who any of these people are lol) If you had to name a kid, (it doesn't have to be your own) what would you call them and why? |
For a boy I don't know and for a girl I like Aline/Eline.
Did you watch the ceremony of the Oscars? Quote:

Quote:
Quote:
Less honorable than those that Piplup had, as most of them have a cheesy mechanic to avoid damage, hide the vision, become invisible (except the fifth group, those are mages that deal damage from afar but cannot exactly one-shoot (and Seraphine is my second love after Sona)). And you don't seem to like teamfights though lol. @ReKoil and @Megan: do it too, I'm curious :) https://www.itero.gg/personality-quiz |
Nope. I'm not into movies. And the last time I watched one I definitely realized that I'm not the target group. Honestly, there's so much wrong with not just movies but the whole movie industry. I just don't want anything to do with it.
What's the last book you read and really liked? |
I don't read books much. In fact, the last book I read through cover to cover was.......... Honestly it's been so long that I don't even remember anymore.
I used to read a lot when I was younger though, one book I liked a lot was called 'The Ruins' by a guy called Scott Smith. I liked it so much in fact, that I've read through it three times! So I think I'll go with that one since I can't think of any others at the moment. (PS. Don't watch the movie based on it, it's trash.) Have you ever watched a movie you thought was better than the book it was based on? Quote:
To be fair, I chose mostly answers that would make me a glass cannon, so having something that's a little cheesy would be made up for by my target one-shoting me back if I screw up no? I set the question about warrior v mage as neutral, so that might be where the fifth line mages came from. If I remember right, Seraphine was the one with the pink hair. I don't know anything about that champion, but I loved the hair! 👍 I've not played many games with other people, but when I do, I'm either the hard carry from having played the game for 100+ hours more than them, or the one who only plays it once a year and makes my team's life a living hell. I'm really tired of having to make sure the people I'm playing with are actually good at the game I like in order for us to win, hence the no team fights thing. (I swear I'm not toxic, I just have very different interests in games compaired to the people I know) |
I can't think of any where I've both read the books and watched the movies. For example I like the LOTR movies, but I never read the books.
Do you ever talk to animals? |
Well, humans are technically animals, so yeah I do lol.
Btw, no I don't with actual animals. It's cute I guess, but also meaningless as they don't understand you and you know it lol. Well, sometimes with training you get them to follow your orders, but that's not talking. Do you prefer dogs or cats or both? |
As someone who has both, there's my answer! (but my real love is foxes!)
What's your favorite animal? Quote:
|
As a pet, I'd say dog.
Otherwise, I don't know, I like many animals, including animals from the past (Dimetrodon, Trilobites, Nautilus, I like many insects and reptiles...) What do you think of dyed hair? Quote:
Quote:
|
I think it can look good. But so far I haven't seen any that I particularly liked. That and certain other reasons have so far prevented me from looking into that stuff.
Quote:
Remind me during the weekend or something. |
Dyed hair ? Sure!
Spoiler:
Do you like to go around with a bicycle or another light two-wheeled vehicle ? Quote:
Jungle : Nocturne, Viego, Udyr, Wukong, Khazix Middle lane : Zoe, Vex, Diana, Ahri, Ekko Bottom lane : Caitlyn, Xayah, Lucian, Miss Fortune, Varus The sort of "i" with wings : Karma, Seraphine, Morgana, Renata Glasc, Lulu ... Where is my half-dragon ? 😟 |
I like walking and probably prefer it to bycicle. If I loved in a bigger city where I am forced to use bycicle, I wouldn't mind. But yeah walking is underrated lol
Would you rather live in a city or in the countryside? |
Countryside, no question!
Having lived in London, Paris and Prague as well as small villages, I'll take a village any day. Like the one I live in now! Do you have a time that you remember in your head and wish you could change it? |
I've had plenty effed up moments in my life. There was a time when I would have wished to change most of them.
No matter how bad some of them were though, they all helped me be the person I am now. A shut in with no social life =D So no, not really. There is no good without the bad after all. Have you ever played any sports games, such as the Fifa game or NBA Live/2K ? Quote:
Spoiler:
I got so little interest in LoL and other games in that style that I just didn't even bother clicking the link =P Perhaps when I have more time. |
Does Mario Superstar Baseball count? Otherwise no I don't.
What is/was your favorite game to play with other people? |
Spoiler:
Dark Souls 3. The game is so smooth, the community is so adorable (except those toxic cheaters who give you cheated items to get you banned). Can you come up with a new battle mechanic for Pokémon? (like Mega-Evolutions, Z-moves, Dynamax, Terastal) Spoiler:
|
Nope. Actually I don't want to. Because of the little word "battle". I'm more interested in exploration mechanics, anyway. Like, you could do so many interesting things in that regard. But nope; it's all just about the battles these days... <_<
How do you not forget to ask a question in these threads? |
I'm simply keen on not breaking the rules 😇
How often do you touch grass? |
Hum, I don't squat ass-to-grass because I don't have enough mobility; and as I'm living in Canada, I haven't seen grass since the end of november XD
(Currently the snow is melting so we're seeing it currently) Are you physically flexible? Quote:
Quote:
I see many champs with a cheesy and deceitful mechanics: Nocturne (restrains vision), Viego, Wukong and Khazix (invisibility), Ekko (time rewind). You also look like someone who wants to see the team fights from the outside, and then pick up some kills by surprising the enemy (with invisibility or with a dash, like all your mid champions). You don't let enemies run away XD And I don't know why you got Lulu though XD As for Shyvana, she corresponds to your affinity to "one-shot" but we can actually run away from her so maybe she's not exactly for you :) |
Not a lot... I should do more gym stuff. ^^
Quote:
Do you do bodybuilding ? |
Of course I do!
Spoiler:
Nope. I'm like an old geezer by now and find that daily life is tiring enough without doing unnecessary stuff like that. 😇 Have you ever tried to start a new meme or made your own meme using a meme template? |
I guess I sometimes can be funny. Though, I'm never sure if it actually lands or if I just make a fool of myself. Then again: making a fool of myself is usually the basis of when I try making something funny.
Never really went in on memes, though. They aren't my strong suite. Post-Modern humor fits my style a little bit better, imo. What meme would you like to come back at some point? |
Memes remind me of milk. No issue with them but gets sour quickly. I would rather leave them in the meme graveyard and have new ones.
(i'll take the 1998 hamster dance. i was not alive to see the meme but it's so cute). Are you photogenic? |
I am almost photophobic lol. I like taking pics tho.
Do you speak more than one language? |
Fluent in Dutch and English, and just barely failed German by 0.1 point so I'm mediocre in that =P
I can often tell what's said in German in writing, but responding to someone talking it would be another thing, especially as I haven't really used it since high school . How often do you check your e-mail? |
A lot! I don't know about a specific frequency but between work and irl stuff, a lot. It also reminds me to check out the forum threads!
Have you ever fallen asleep in a cinema? If so, what movie? |
I had a period when I constantly fell asleep at the cinema lol. I can't remember the movies but it happened at least 5/6 times lol. If it narrows down, it's probably 2017-2018 popular movies I guess.
What's the coolest badge you own here in the forum? |
The Luvdisc :)
Do you often go to concerts? |
Nope, no friends, no drive. :(
What's your catch phrase? |
"A day spent without eating chocolate is a wasted one."
"Chocolate solves everything." "No Place like Fridge." Spoiler:
or: Spoiler:
I don't really have one tbh. I don't talk much to begin with irl =P How often do you get takeout? Quote:
Spoiler:
|
I usually get takeout very often, mainly Japanese and Jamaican food.
Do you own a firearm? |
Obviously not. Only looking at them scares me tbh. Sometimes it's scary how small yet powerful they are. It's somewhat crazy to believe it.
Do you have any pet? |
I've got two! A cat and a dog.
What's your favorite restaurant? |
I don't have one.
What's the last thing you created? |
Probably a 6564th doc file containing ideas for my 6564th story that I'll never write completely :)
Or my fangame if you want something significant :) Are you doing good overall? |
