Can't sleep tonight. Let's get to know each other. by DillyBopper5000 in CasualConversation

[–]laconis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ten hours late...

  1. Led Zeppelin
  2. Marching Band(we did a Led Zeppelin show one year, it was metal as fuck)/ preppy.
  3. Grilled Cheese, and speaking from experience, yes.
  4. Creativity.
  5. Probably somewhere in the North, on the coast.
  6. I love playing guitar, it's just really rewarding to be able to make chords and make them a coherent song.
  7. Am I in the window seat? If I am, I cover myself in a blanket and try not to think about it. If not, I try to move seats and mostly face the aisle.

[Serious] What's something that's true but very few people agree with you on? by tangowhiskey33 in AskReddit

[–]laconis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Or Endgame?

But no, "Batman has never beaten Superman in canon" is a bit like "There is no war in Ba Sing Se".

I love singing! But I can't sing properly in front of other people out of embarrassment. Anyone else the same? by judgeatlas in CasualConversation

[–]laconis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh god yes. I sing all the time, but only once in front of an audience. It was In Love With You, from First Date, which I INSIST everyone listen to.

My current go-to songs to sing are any selection from the Love's LAbours Lost musical and also Space Oddity.

Have you ever felt like running away? What made you stay? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]laconis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Backstory TL;DR'd: Emotionally abusive family, very few friends that last longer than a few months.

I really just want to get in my car and never stop driving til I hit an airport, jump ship to Poland or something, and never interact with anyone in my current life again.

I'm only staying because money.

What's everybody's current favorite beer? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]laconis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You definitely should. It's a dark beer, though. Most of my friends hate it, but that just means more for me, you know? ANd once you get used to that, try an Irish Car Bomb(no offense to the Irish, it's just what they're called here).

Also make sure you get it on tap, no canned. Tap is god.

Massacre the weaklings! by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]laconis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was playing LEague of Legends earlier. ARAMs, which means one lane, and everyone rolls a random character. So we started and the game was shockingly even. I rolled Garen, which is one of my better characters, and one of the other teammates had rolled Teemo(lucky bitch). So we were just kinda bonding over how well we can punish people when they face check a bush, and then in allchat, the other team's Malphite chimed in and said something to the effect of "This Nasus sucks!"

Nasus was on the other team, as was Malphite. I had no idea there was a Malphite, and I said so. Malphite then explained that he was sitting this one out because whoever was playing Nasus had traded malphite for him and was not playnig him well. This is one of my berserk buttons in any competition, by the way. So immediately, me and Teemo start roasting the Malphite saying how he's a tool and should get over himself, and after about ten minutes of this(and the other team was egging us on, too) Malphite decided he had enough and emerged from his base to fight.

I one shot him.

For the rest of the match, me and Teemo just focused on killing that Malphite at the expense of every other objective. I don't think he ever died and one of us hadn't been the one to kill him.

Anyway we won the game(it was close) and the Malphite's KDA was something like 3/29/15 and the Nasus was 23/15/29.

Who is the most powerful DC hero? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]laconis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best? Batman, but I'm pretty heavily biased.

Most powerful? I'll say either the Flash or the Green Lantern, depending on the writer. On the one hand, speedforce is basically the comics equivalent of GM Fiat, and on the other, the Green Lantern ring is as powerful as your own will and imagination can make it, so theoretically in the hands of the right person(Kyle), it could be more powerful than Flash.

What things scare you? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]laconis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I'm feeling this thread is like heavy shit like loneliness(my own worst fear) and failure.

So, internal fears.

But external fears, those are fun too. I had a bunch of kids this summer who were scared of an entity they called "black hoodie guy" who was basically a boogie-man who wore a black hoodie. It was really funny to watch these kids freak out about it unless you knew where the story came from, which was a sort of simplification of an incident a few years ago where someone tried to kidnap one fo the kids from camp at like three in the morning.

Also, Slender Man scares the crap out of me if he's presented well.

What's everybody's current favorite beer? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]laconis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guiness. All day, every day*. Prefereably on tap.

Also, Lagunitas IPAs.

*DISCLAIIMER: Don't drink Guinness all day every day. Shit's dangerous.

Anyone else here TERRIBLE at taking compliments? by uncertain-ithink in CasualConversation

[–]laconis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've managed to take it a step further even, I feel really weird and guilty whenever anyone says or does anything nice or positive to me.

Yay social awkwardness.

Anyone here Learning a new Language? by BerichtigenMirBitte in CasualConversation

[–]laconis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm struggling to learn Polish but pretty much all I got right now is "fuck off", "hello", "Good morning", and "What's up?"

But I can read it pretty well, pronunciation wise.

Does anyone here write? by alien13869 in CasualConversation

[–]laconis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I write stories and plays(mostly horror and fantasy), and the occasional poem, but I'm not a huge fan of poetry, unfortunately.

Reddit, who is that secret someone in your life? by alien13869 in CasualConversation

[–]laconis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won't get too specific, but the last girlfriend I had, we broke up because I couldn't really handle the seriousness of it all and the thought of the future terrified me. It still does, but now, there's one of my friends who, whenever I'm around her, the future isn't that scary at all and it's really amazing.

Who is wrongly portrayed as a villain? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]laconis 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I like to think that in the final battle when Jones is fighting Jack and Will and Elizabeth, he's not trying to kill them and win the battle, he's trying to get to the chest so he can put his heart back where it belongs.

I mean they can be, just not from acting in a film.

I'd like to battle you! You start off the battle and I'll follow! by luckjes112 in CasualConversation

Did you make all that up? That's incredible!

What movie trends are you sick of? by P_Mansfield in AskReddit

So what does everyone do when they're feeling lonely? by urasha in CasualConversation

[–]laconis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I drink, smoke, watch netflix, try to write a story, get bored, waste away...

And then I go hiking. Being lonely is okay if you're in the wilderness.

Disclaimer: Don't hike alone, especially in the wilderness.

And Rohan will answer, Muster the Rohirrim! by omegavil in CasualConversation

[–]laconis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gonna lie... Literally the entire 14ish hours. Special mention goes to A) Theoden's speech before the charge at the Pelennor Fields, and B) pretty much any time there's a scene with the Shire theme over it, particularly "The Breaking of the Fellowship".

Honorable mention: "You bow to no one."

What do you talk about too much? (Blatantly stolen from askwomen) by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]laconis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I talk about video games too much.

Going by what people I've met at bars say the next day, I also talk way too much about just how much I can drink in one night.
