Interesting read. It gives quite a bit of insight into what the other gender feels.

Now for the epic line,

tits or gtfo.

No seriously though, personally I find it makes no difference for me, but I just tend to troll girls less. I just feel like they get butt-hurt more easily when trolled. If I want a butthurt girl mad at me, I have a girlfriend for that.

The fact that you take a considerable amount of time out of your day to write a blog shows me that you enjoy whatever attention you get. Making a blog post complaining about said attention is sort of ironic in that sense.

That being said: You're an attractive girl that (judging by the fact that you can form complete sentences and create cohesive arguments as well as engaging stories) is reasonably intelligent and you love videogames. You're every nerds' dream girl. So fuck the haters.


Haha, I'm really just bored at work, as I've mentioned before:

Don't make threats you cannot keep.


Here's the scenario,

You start going out with someone and meet their family for the first time. Dad, brother, Sally or Sue takes you aside and tells you if you do anything to hurt their daughter/sibling they will do xyz to you. The reality: no they won't. One thing I learned a long time ago is not to make promises you cannot keep. Likewise, this is what I tell anyone who tries to white knight.

That's not to say on the rare occasion they won't (I've heard a few stories, but even then they're just stories). I know quite a few loose cannons who are well-versed in fights. Once again, it's all hearsay or better yet hype.

Word of advice: drop the complex. It gets old and people will just laugh at you.

*

Back to the matter at hand,

Riku I'm going to be very blunt.

Why the heck do you care about being accepted on this board? Before you say you aren't, look at the ice breaker you unwittingly used. I love scenarios and examining human behavior so here's another one:

You go out to the bar with a friend. Your friend introduces you to a few of their friends and you mingle. Your new contact cracks a lame joke you normally wouldn't laugh at; however, you crack a smile and giggle. The reality: you tell yourself it was a stupid joke yet you still laugh because you are looking for their acceptance. Tada!

*

The more I read, the more I'm led to believe you are gamer who craves attention. Once again, it's all meaningless and has little to no merit because I don't actually know you. I'm not the type of person who judges someone based solely off their cover. This leads me to my next question: What intrinsic value do you get out of all this?

Cats are my one weakness too. The cat's name is a very odd coincidence as well. I'm rather baffled at this moment. Hm.

I just really enjoy writing blogs.

O.o

If I wanted attention, I'd go back to playing WoW or go hang out more at the AFK Tavern. Hell, I'd at least post more pictures of myself.

As for cats... have I mentioned mine are table-trained?

Edit: You have to realize I also work 10 hour days where the only thing I can do with my spare time when I am letting my data run is write. Blogs are a slight procrastination to the actual stories I'm supposed to be finishing up.

It's actually a pretty interesting story! I actually play more WoW than SC2, and Cata raids have been quite fun. Do you still play?

The only time I was remotely famous on my server was during the WoW vanilla days as I'll do BGs for many hours a day. This was back when they didn't have cross-realm BGs and you got to play with the same groups for some time. I usually yelled at people to teach them how to play.


I actually don't like the Cata raiding that much. I am very much a 25 man raider. 10 mans are fun and all, but 25m is where it's at! I still have an active WoW account, but I haven't logged on for weeks.

It's like being a guy in a Victoria's Secret outlet. Go in, check out the sales, maybe ask a question or two to the workers regarding preferences / opinions, shop for what you came for, and get out - and despite being vastly out-numbered in terms of sex ratio, everything goes smoothly.

On the other hand, if you go in and start flaunting the bulge in your pants and shout loudly to everyone what a baller you are being a guy in a lingerie store, what happens next?


I just literally laughed out loud. Bravo.

If you note in my blog, I stopped when I got defensive and apologized for it and commented that I prefer to take an "I don't give" attitude. Thanks for the advice, though. ;D

Thanks for the blog, interesting perspective. I tend to see revealing any personal info, even gender, online as a little 'damned if you do, damned if you don't', and I'm male. As soon as people know things about you it becomes easy for them to say 'well you would say that, you are X'. Tough to combat :/


Agreed. People can be oddly judgmental online with very little information.

I only get irritated when girls treat games like a chat room (i.e not shutting up over voice on TF2), if i'm feeling mischievous i'll say something like "HEI HOW MANY BEWBS DO U HAV?, " but otherwise i'll hit the trusty old mute button.

I love hearing people's internet stories, like biographies of the different games they've jumped from. Cool Blog.

reminds me of Tossgirl, she got so much hate despite being the only female progamer to really be good enough to compete at a top level. Sure, she wasnt a Flash or Jaedong or Boxer, but come on; theres millions of SC players, how many of them are a Flash or Jaedong? For a girl to be consistently competing at an A-team level, thats very impressive.

Now this Slayers_Eve girl is going to get the same treatment unfortunately.

I imagine all people on internet forums and in online games to be smooth like He-Man in the downstairs department. I guess it's only natural that young guys with hormones racing try and chat up girls online and do stupid awkward things. All I can say to young guys online is that girls don't go for guys that are enthusiastically interested in them, because that immediately puts you bellow their internal standards. You'll get better results just being freindly and chill.

I'm sure you're right that being female is a mixed blessing on the interwebs. I guess the solution is to make your own little world and live within that, and ignore the rest. I think that is what most people do in RL anyway.

That is really unfortunate, I wish there was a way to prevent it, but people can just be utter assholes on the internet.

Because the first time I decided to post on TL was to get advice on Starcraft cosplay for Blizzcon 2011. Considering I wore that outfit to Blizzcon 2010 and it displays my armor making ability, I don't see any reason I wouldn't post it.

Also, I over estimated Starcraft players and Team Liquid. :/

I figured people here would be more polite and have more integrity.

It's still an internet forum. And most people don't really know a lot about costumes etc, so their compliments are more likely to lend to the overall look rather than details on the costume. It was a pretty amazing costume though, but when it comes to details I can honestly say I'm completely clueless, even if it looked good. Thus I didn't post, seeing as how I figured you already knew it was an excellent costume from the reactions thus far.

And well, internet and nerds etc, even a heavily moderated forum is likely to have a pretty high quota of that kind of posters, especially when someone does something that can be interpreted as exhibitionist. And seeing as how the internet is all about being negative it will get a lot of negative comments.

Overall, for some reason people like to post bad stuff more than good stuff, which always sucks when someone has a strong opinion or puts themselves out there in some form.

Not a Flash or Jaedong... she wasn't even a Backho or Iron.

Anyway, well done Riku for making one of the most boastful and egotistical posts I have ever seen on TL.

You were about a year and a half late for that side of TL, SC2 did a good job of messing that up.

Either way, you've had a pretty sweet life, and we both played RO wayyyyy back in the day and had pretty much identical experiences cept I was a dude who flirted with the girls on the forum I used. Just keep on rockin it and doin what you do.

Also these blogs have been a wonderful read every time, thank you so much for giving me so much to read!
