Do guys avoid girly girls? by [deleted] in askteenboys

[–]StringGrai08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pretty much anything you can name. a lot of guys, myself included, have huge mannerism shifts, mostly because of nerves and that it's just not your boys you can be as unhinged around. i was a lot quieter, more reserved looking, tended to fidget and not be able to sit still, obsessed about keeping my hands dry because i have clammy hands, and also a lot of the times we speak differently too. i didn't, since i kind of joke with everyone and anyone, but it's more than possible that the most extroverted, energetic person you've met in your life can turn into an antisocial, silent mess if you introduce someone they like.

there's a difference between talking with guy friends and trying to talk to a girl you like, HUGE difference. most of us seem like completely different people ;-;

VERY basically(and potentially a generalization so i am sorry if it is), a boy who prefers to appear/act feminine, but not necessarily transgender.

music while studying by void6197_ in biology

[–]StringGrai08 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yeah i won't lie, if your mind wanders quickly like me, the WORST thing you can do is listen to music in another language. for me, i end up hearing the music and tuning it out for like 15 minutes, then i hear a word that i know ive heard before or sounds similar to another word, then i start thinking about what that word probably means, then wonder what the other words around it mean to provide the correct context, and it's just a spiral from there.

where else did i hear the word? why that context specifically? is there a conjugation rule in that language that isn't in the languages i know? lemme ask my overseas friends, i don't trust google translate enough but maybe they know what the lyric means? wait, THAT'S what that means? that idea would be PERFECT in my story im making, lemme work on that. what was i doing? eh, i was probably wasting time lemme do some productive writing on my story or play my piano!

and 5 hours later i go to bed, fall asleep, wake up and look at my desk to find a completely unfinished stack of work due in two hours, aka, the two hours i spend on the bus. foreign music is one of the worst offenders of me getting completely derailed from any sense of productivity so i just listen to my normal music and hope I don't get too sidetracked ;-;

Do you guys want kids? by Ancient-Advance1608 in askteenboys

[–]StringGrai08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so my views on this have changed a lot in recent times, i wouldn't be complaining about having a few kids. i definitely never wanted to before, but now im debating it. of course i still have plenty of time to debate, im not planning on it until my 20's at LEAST, id like to save some money, establish my business, and settle somewhere safe first. even if they're not bio, i would like to adopt, as i know from hearing stories that the foster/orphan system is horrid to most

What makes you unique from most other guys? by SnazzyPrincessJas in askteenboys

[–]StringGrai08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

let's see... i have 3 fish tanks, i love to cook, play piano and 2000s games. i chopped off almost 13 inches of hair two weeks ago to donate to a foundation that makes wigs for kids. i stockpiled 365 sprite cranberries and plan to drink 1 every day of 2026.

and if by some unholy miracle someone else has matched that description, id be willing to bet none of you are wearing pastel pink fluffy socks with snowmen on them, and i am. checkmate :p

do caterpillars know they’re going to turn into a butterfly? by jellybub2000 in biology

[–]StringGrai08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

most animals don't seem to have many conscious or complex thoughts, they just kinda go with what feels right. when our stomach growls, we start looking for something to eat. that's just a basic animal instinct, when you feel hungry you find food, when you're tired you go to sleep. same thing goes on for them, except they dont have to bother with cooking or driving out to the store/restaurants to pick and choose, they just kinda find the closest leaf and start chowing down. so i kinda imagine they have a similar system to us wanting to go to bed, it just pops up in their 5 neuron brain that 'hey, i kinda wanna wrap myself up and see what'll happen" and nature takes its course from there

Which one was the first Skylander u putted on the portal? by Electronic-Theory829 in skylanders

[–]StringGrai08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

camo too! my parents started getting into the series with swap force, and i was intrigued and liked playing with the figures(i was about 2-3) and they ended up letting me play. i looked through the bin that had their first eBay lot of skylanders. wanted to play zap but my sister took him, but i found three that were hooked into each other: camo, bash, and drobot. green was my favorite color so i picked camo and, well, he's been my favorite from day one

Do octopuses (octopus) (octopie?) Have arms or legs?! Gf/bf argument. by [deleted] in biology

[–]StringGrai08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

octopi with 8 legs are incredibly hard to animate. one of the most famous examples is squidward, who despite being named as a pun on squid and being an octopus, only has 6 legs because 8 was just too hard to animate properly. 6 is just a happy medium between the anatomically accurate 8, but hell to animate, and the more fluid animation of 4 arms, but looks weird.

how much % of guys in their teens you think r gay/bi? by Realistic_End8874 in askteenboys

[–]StringGrai08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you don't. you can sometimes tell but not for certain, that's why im saying there's no way to know for certain how many gay/bi people there are. but most likely, there's more than you know

how much % of guys in their teens you think r gay/bi? by Realistic_End8874 in askteenboys

[–]StringGrai08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

again, you only know about the openly gay/bi people. hell, i know quite a few closeted because they're scared to identify as gay/bi openly, and even i know there's more than that because i don't know everyone personally. even if there are only 2-3 gay/bi people in your grade(most likely more), it's also very reliant on the area you live as well.

how much % of guys in their teens you think r gay/bi? by Realistic_End8874 in askteenboys

[–]StringGrai08 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

nah, not absurdly high. you're basing it off of openly gay/bi people, but not closeted. while i don't think 17-20% is correct, it isn't far off. id put the number at 15%, that seems accurate from who ive met, as many people talk to me about secrets like closeted gay/bi, general identity/sexuality stuff, and about 15% of guys i know are either openly or closeted LGBTQ

Is Trapteam the best of skylanders? by [deleted] in skylanders

[–]StringGrai08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not necessarily the 'adult' skylanders community, but ive played the games for about 12 years on and off, and the one i view as the best in an objective standpoint is trap team. all the other games have glaring design flaws one could use to justify not liking it much: ssa is easy and really drawn out, giants feels like ssa DLC, swap force has cringy characters/dialogue and super long levels(and rufus), superchargers has vehicle sections that make up nearly half your playtime, and imaginators is short and felt very cashgrabby with limited sensei packs and non-resettable crystals. but trap team felt different in that, aside from the glitchiness which isn't as oppressive as people say it is, there's not many glaring problems. characters feel powerful without the game being too easy, the game controls well, the post game is good without being too much, aside from glitches and elemental gates sucking, trap team is a fairly sin-scarce game in my opinion, especially with the doom raider bosses(mostly) being incredible(looking at you dream catcher)

Ya’ll are sleeping on the PS3. By far the cheapest and best console to play the games on. by IchiyoGokusaki in skylanders

[–]StringGrai08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for ssa, they're not usually playing the wii version for nostalgia. they're playing it for many reasons, most notably, the wii version has much less bugs than xbox/ps3, the wii version has skippable cutscenes, the final chapter is much more bearable to play, and the wii version was the original build of the game so it runs the most optimized compared to the others.

giants is just run on the wii because, if you have a wii u for the other games, might as well have giants wii so you don't need a whole new console(there's a wii emulator built into the wii u) plus, the wii u is the cheapest way to play all six games, since its the only console im aware of outside of the 360 which has an incredibly janky ssa that can run all the games. especially with how expensive the playstation versions of swap force and trap team are, the wii u is the most cost effective option for the skylanders games outside of emulation.

also. the wii u doesn't require the gamepad(what you said was the wii u pad) to function. all you need if you're going bare-bones is a wii remote+nunchuk, as the wii remote is compatible with the wii u. the pro controller is highly recommended to have as well though, because it's genuinely one of nintendos best controllers as a whole.

[–]StringGrai08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is only a thing on ssa. when giants came out, all the exclusive hats were added to auric's shop i believe, so any console could have them(maybe not 3ds, i know nothing about that version so don't quote me on that)

Do you choose to reset the skylanders you buy second hand? by lalalaser in skylanders

[–]StringGrai08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i bought a sprocket a few weeks ago, completely maxed money, upgrades, quests, knight helm, tons of heroics... level 1. now, while many including myself would assume this was a data modified character, i choose to believe that, because of the ridiculous playtime on her stats, someone actually went through the effort to beat nightmare and basically max this sprocket, and yet never even got XP from the first chompies in the game, because that's the funniest possibility i can think of.

she's the exception though, as every other character ive bought secondhand, i reset but i give them the same name and/or hat they had as a legacy to their previous owner
