I just did this IRL and I can actually see it working, what the fuck.

As for your topic, I started playing Guild Wars when I was 9 years old back in like 2004, and I didn't know how to type yet. It would take me 30 seconds just to type "Hello." After a couple months of playing I was typing about 100 words per minute. It also really helped me with my English and vocabulary. That game had a lot of big words that I had to research to understand game mechanics, and that ended up helping me out a ton in school. I was always top of my class in English/Reading/Vocab.

Evil absolutely exists. I define it as an act that does nothing to better anyone's life, including your own.

Karma's simple nature; act in ways that are deemed "evil" you are more likely to draw in negative energy and wind up dead yourself. People who behave in evil ways are only hurting themselves in the end, considering love and affection are universal "wants" and could be considered "good." "Evil", even in the smallest action, only serve to drive those things away.

I was into RTS games as a kid and they involved a lot of tooltip reading so my vocabulary and reading comprehension were way beyond that of my peers.

ESL here, I played so much vidya in English as kid, I could speak, understand and hold a conversation in English at an age of 7.
I also learned bronze and steel were alloys.

I'm not contending that evil doesn't exist. I'm saying that the quote sounds deep, but is almost entirely meaningless without the context of a super hero character helping the less fortunate.
I mean even with the context attached - it's still a very hollow and stupid thing to say.

Same here, only I'm an old fuck so I learned English from games like Hugo's House of Horrors and Leisure Suit Larry.
I always did well in English in school too. That's the secret - everyone can learn anything, if they're motivated somehow.

Heh... not bad, kid. Not bad at all. Your meme, I mean. It's not bad. A good first attempt. It's plenty dank... I can tell it's got some thought behind it... lots of quotable material...
But memeing isn't all sunshine and rainbows, kid. You're skilled... that much I can tell. But do you have what it takes to be a Memester? To join those esteemed meme ranks? To call yourself a member of the Ruseman's Corps? Memeing takes talent, that much is true. But more than that it takes heart. The world-class Memesters - I mean the big guys, like Johnny Hammersticks and Billy Kuahana - they're out there day and night, burning the midnight meme-oil, working tirelessly to craft that next big meme.
And you know what, kid? 99 times out of a hundred, that new meme fails. Someone dismisses it as bait, or says it's "tryhard," or ignores it as they copy/paste the latest shitpost copypasta dreamt up by those sorry excuses for cut-rate memers over at reddit. The Meme Game is rough, kid, and I don't just mean the one you just lost :^). It's a rough business, and for every artisan meme you craft in your meme bakery, some cocksucker at 9gag has a picture of a duck or some shit that a million different Johnny No-Names will attach a milion different captions to. Chin up, kid. Don't get all mopey on me. You've got skill. You've got talent. You just need to show your drive.
See you on the boards...

I learned to read playing the first kotor. It was great because I could read along with the subtitles when talking to humans, and when talking to aliens I had a chance to take off the training wheels.

>>385741167

I can't get into this game, it's so fucking slow. Is there a mod to make everything faster? Not ADD fast but I don't want to watch my guy crawl across the map.

Let it be known that OP is the kind of faggot who would re-tell a joke their friend made up and get a laugh from the whole class

>>385741167
Thank you OP

I have an autoimmune disorder that gave me diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and hypothyroidism by the time I was 2 years old. My doctors predict I will go blind before I'm 40 and will lose the ability to walk soon. At 19 I currently need old man glasses to see and crutches to go more than a few feet. I have to have blood tests done weekly to ensure there are no unforseen interactions between my body's natural hormones, my thyroid supplement, and my insulin. I spent half of my puberty in the hospital due to these complications. I'm also allergic to gluten, lactose, and most antibiotics. The latter is very inconvenient due to my disposition to infection thanks to my weak immune system. I have had pnuemonia for months at a time twice now.
Also I'm not a magical Japanese schoolgirl.

I learned how to avoid talking to certain people in uni based on if they were wearing video game clothing and the stickers on their laptops.

Don't get me wrong nothing is wrong with playing games as your hobby. The problem is if you identify as a gamer, because frankly you are not worth associating with. It's like calling yourself a model train aficionado as an introduction. People that one dimensional have little to offer.

I never understood why normies have a such hard time with history.

>>385741167

Managed to control my car when it slipped on an oil patch in wet weather.

>>385752609

Because they're normies. They don't deal with hobbies that could provide them with knowledge of sorts. Only ones that get them more likes on social media.

>>385753083
It was such a simple question too.

Another one was when the teacher asked us what an ICBM stood for and when I answered it they just looked at me like I solved a complex math equation

>>385752609
me neither. My US History teacher congratulated me because I pronounced Versailles correctly like that's hard to do.
Apparently that's not common knowledge to normies

>>385745137
Obviously. It's because we are playing on easy mode. They didn't even have aerial view of the battlefield, think about that.

I mean it taught me some new words when I was a kid. Can't remember any specifics. Also Spacechem helped me with chemistry because I was one of around 1,000 people who actually finished the game past the point you needed to get the Fishcake in TF2. Also being here with you fuckers helped me to develop a thick skin and not worry so much about what people say about me.
