Three with me right now (including a pair of boots for the snow) + maybe three others in my home country lol. Not many :S

Have you already listened to the same song again and again for several hours/days/weeks?

I do throw them in a container, but I extract the HDD before. And I don't know what to do with the HDD though, I just store it somewhere after breaking the plug. I just don't want my data to be released in the wild D:

Not repeatedly, but there have been songs that stuck around in my more popular playlists for a couple months before I got tired of them

What's a hobby you gave up but really want to bring back at some point?

I do still have all my HDDs from past PCs, as well. I know some people destroy theirs by drilling holes into them and do other stuff.

ReKoil May 14th, 2022 10:53 AM

Well I gave up Basketball a long time ago.
I'm not really interested in picking it back up, so I guess the answer is none? 😅
Edit:
oh wait. I used to write short stories back in highschool lol
It's so long ago I completely forgot xD
Guess I wouldn't mind picking it back up, though I'm not that enthusiastic about it either.


Do you store things neatly in storage bins/containers/whatever or do you just leave stuff lying around your house?
I'm a mix of both atm rofl

ZeoStar May 15th, 2022 11:19 AM

We try to keep things neat.

What's a popular band/artist you just can't get into?

NearAutomas May 15th, 2022 1:18 PM

Ed Sheeran.

Do you plan ahead of time what movie you'll watch or do you wing it on selection?

StCooler May 15th, 2022 6:05 PM

I plan everything ahead!
By the way it's hard to get your friends to go to the movies with you if you don't plan the movie you're going to see ^^

What do you think makes Pokémon so special?

Megan May 15th, 2022 8:34 PM

Many people grew up with it and thanks to the technological advances from the last 30+ years it's easier to connect with other people on the series. There's more of an incentive for you to write fanfics and you are able to play around with the games and their code because other people can see what you're doing and they too can try these things out. That way engagement kept being high.
I think there's a lot to argue about whether the series dropped in quality or if it's just people bouncing ideas off of each other that played around with the series concept to a point where people kinda added way more things and changed stuff so that it gets very obvious when the series creators can't keep up the pace and get criticized for lagging behind.

What's your favorite Nintendo game (the company, not the NES)?

ZeoStar May 16th, 2022 3:24 AM

I like both of the original Paper Mario games (I and II). Lost interest after those, but the first two would be my favorites from Nintendo.

Do you have strong reflexes?

ReKoil May 16th, 2022 7:34 AM

Not particularly. Though my hands and arms will respond if I drop something, often before I even realize it. Pretty much the only situation though.

Do you recycle?

StCooler May 16th, 2022 5:20 PM

I try not to recycle my jokes, but I do recycle my rubbish.
Actually using two bins instead of one is not a big effort.

How many people do you see in one day?

Megan May 16th, 2022 8:56 PM

Well, my coworkers and a ton of people during commute. I don't know how many that entails, though. That's like 4+x with x being the amount of roandom people on the street. Add more tot that if people in videos count. I'm not a huge fan of this "parasocial relationship" stuff so I don't particularly like people showing their face off. But I can't exactly change the fact that they're doing it...
Hope that counts as an answer!

Have you ever made a video?

ReKoil May 17th, 2022 10:22 AM

Gameplay videos, yes. I recorded a full playthrough for 2 or 3 games.
Videos with me in them? no. I avoid cameras as much as possible =D
I've shot a couple random videos on occasion of just random stuff too. I left those on my camera though.

Have you ever cosplayed?

StCooler May 17th, 2022 3:57 PM

No, I don't see the point.

When was the last time you made a PowerPoint presentation?

Megan May 17th, 2022 8:32 PM

I was forced to use Powerpoint in one of my exam preparation classes. But that was only during a school lesson. I never actually did a proper Powerpoint presentation. Last time I did a proper presentation I prepared some PDF slides using pandoc, instead. I definitely did not force myself to write them in LaTeX, as opposed to my big project document. ^^"

Had you ever had to deal with the police?

ZeoStar May 18th, 2022 3:46 AM

Twice.

Once for sitting on an escalator. Second time was for not wearing a seatbelt.

How many hours of sleep do you usually get?

ReKoil May 18th, 2022 11:54 AM

around 6 hours, usually a little under.

Do you believe in some form of afterlife?

ZeoStar May 18th, 2022 12:50 PM

Often the belief is a nice way to keep sanity in what feels like a pointless life, so yes.

What is an old video game that you think has aged well?

StCooler May 18th, 2022 3:46 PM

Skyrim :DDDDDDD
I'd say, Pokémon games on GBA maybe? Probably other GBA games too.

What videogames have you played the most?

I didn't know about pandoc, thanks for the tip!
Funfact: if I want to merge several PDFs, I use LaTeX lol

Megan May 18th, 2022 8:28 PM

I think I capped the time of Pokemon X, Gold and maybe Blue at some point? It really makes it hard to tell which one it was, especially since those save files don't exist anymore. I also invested a lot into Terraria at some point. Skyrim I actually didn't play too much, only about 60 hours I believe. I might have spent more time with Morrowind but I don't know how much exactly.

Do you keep track of your weight?

ZeoStar May 19th, 2022 7:12 AM

A little indifferent. I've been 130lbs for a while. I'm fine with this.

At one point during highschool I only ate fast food for a year. Baconzillas for lunch and Chicken buckets for dinner. I got noticeably heavier, possibly around 160-170 lbs. I stopped doing this though. It's very unhealthy.

What is your main form of transportation?

ReKoil May 19th, 2022 10:41 AM

My Bicycle =3

Has your taste in music changed throughout your life or has it remained the same throughout?

StCooler May 19th, 2022 3:22 PM

The core has remained the same: metal and epic music. Now I listen to a bit of electronic music, some piano stuff, and some shameful stuff. And now I can't hear Linkin Park while I used to be a fan :')

When was the last time you've gone for a walk?

Megan May 19th, 2022 8:43 PM

Does going to work count? because that's what I just did. And it's what I do every workday. <_<

Is there something you really want to accomplish over the next couple years?

ReKoil May 20th, 2022 7:50 AM

Well it would be nice if my shiny hunting related goals would be accomplished by then.... but that's not really something major lol
So I guess there isn't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you could give a speech that would be broadcast everywhere in the world, what would it be about? =3

StCooler May 21st, 2022 3:16 PM

"Why mathematics is beautiful"
"Why mathematics is useless"
"Why mathematics is useless and it shouldn't matter"
"Why mathematics isn't for everyone and it shouldn't matter"
"Love one another"
"Love one another ffs"
"What's wrong with Pokémon"
"How to improve League of Legends"
"Why the world needs another Elder Scrolls"
Probably "how to eat better, and debuking of fitness myths". Other topics I could tackle are probably too "rational" for people lol.

Assume that, tomorrow, we learn that there are life forms on Mars. How would you react?
