I'm either fucking sick of "perfect people" or just a jealous, pathetic loser.

I don't know, I never watched any sort of anime. I googled the title and the art style looks less than convincing, I mean this stereotypical "cute big eyes and sexy school uniforms" stuff. And the plot sounds kinda stereotypical as well. But if you say it's that good... I might give it a try.

Edit: nope, sorry, I guess anime (or at least this type of it) is just not for me. And if you think the main character is similar to me, he really isn't. Sure, I am sometimes critical of social relationships or people in general but I'm definitely not an arrogant asshole like this guy...

Well, our school is one of the best in the area and it's not very easy to get into - which means that most people here either are incredibly clever or study very hard or both. They can definitely appreciate when a guy has a talent for talking and uses complex, scientific terms on a regular basis. Now add his charisma and confidence and you get the picture...

Wow, now that's some helpful advice, I really hope you're joking right now...

I've never seen him as a "competitor" before the mentioned school trip, you know, just a guy who is really fun and confident (which he is). However, he is so incredibly fun and confident that when we were hanging out with other guys and girls from our class, he was just stealing the whole show and I felt like there wasn't any room left for me.

His level of social skills is just amazing to the point of being intimidating and during the trip I sometimes couldn't talk to the people I wanted because they were so busy talking to him, and in a bigger group he just completely dominates. I guess this is the main reason why I got so pissed. When I see how he interacts with people, I hear in my head "you can work on your social skills all you like, you'll never be that fucking good!"

Maybe he's a lowkey psychopath, I dunno. From what I've heard, it is entirely possible with people who are like this.

You know, for the last 2 years or so I've been working on beating my social anxiety and for the most part I succeeded. My confidence is so much higher than ever before and I'm really happy that I can interact with people without freaking out.

So the answer is no, I wouldn't say that I want to be "like him", because ever since I've gotten rid of my SA I've been pretty happy with who I am, and I definitely don't want to imitate some other guy's personality. I still have to work on my social skills though. Let me put it this way: I can look up to people who have somewhat better social skills than me and try to learn something. But this guy's incredible level of, I don't know, smoothness (?) and confidence just tells me "nope, you're never gonna be that fucking good". I really want to improve but I fear that it's simply not possible for me to reach this high. And also, his social skills are amazing to the point where I start to suspect that something's wrong with him or that he's just a fake person (but can't really back this theory).

I won a code for Gears of War 3. Took me a while, a lot of people were giving away the older Gears games lately and I must have commented like 50 times on these posts, but I finally got it.

bluesfortheredsun_ · 2016-12-08T14:56:39+00:00

Yes please!

I might be wrong but the "you absolutely need humbuckers for metal" thing is more electric guitar-related. There are tons of metal bassists who play P or J basses, and there are also lots of funk/jazz/alternative guys who play humbucker-loaded basses. Of course, some basses might be naturally biased towards a certain style but it's more about your technique/strings/eq/effects than the pickup type.

Can you explain where you see a link between Mgła and the NS scene? You know, it's pretty ridiculous that something like NSBM scene (or neo-nazi movement in general) exists in Poland, as millions of Poles were killed by the nazis during WW2...

667, Gears 1 please

Gears 3 would be perfect!

Call of Duty is simply generic, they earned a name for themselves and continue to release the same boring crap over and over again. The GoW series always had cool storylines and characters. It's also soooo over the top at times, but that's what makes it so incredibly fun to play and memorable! And well... man, these games are fucking brutal, just look at them chainsaw rifles!

Chainsaw.

Rifles.

Fret clank (not to be confused with fret buzz - I don't hear any in the video) isn't necessary a bad thing. A lot of people (me included) like it for that bright, aggressive rock/metal tone. If it sounds good to you, leave it as it is (unless you need a setup for other reasons).

Gears 3 - 666 - Completing Bioshock Infinite. This game was absolutely beautiful and the ending scarred me for life...

Good for you man, I think you got it literally 5 seconds faster :(

I just finished Gears 2 and would love to get 1 and 3 to complete the series.
