I like it. Sarcasm. I like sarcasm a lot. I use sarcasm a lot. I find though, that it's important that people understand when I use sarcasm. I know a person who can never tell when I'm being sarcastic. This was bad. Whenever I talked to her, she thought I was incredibly offensive. She thought I was seriously when I said that stupid people should go die. She also thought that I took everything terribly personally all the time. I'm surprised that she could survive having taken everyone at exactly their words. I feel that she would be left much too gullible.
So... I say things in a way that is incredibly offensive to tons of people. People who don't know me well find me to be a judgmental and arrogant. People who are closer to me think I'm nice and friendly. People who are even closer to me know that at heart I'm really just judgmental and arrogant. My sarcasm is sometimes a front, but other times it is truthful. This is to keep all my friends on their toes. Actually... only a few people can actually tell every time I'm being sarcastic, even in my close circle of friends. Sometimes it surprises me, but then again, there are still times when even I don't catch the sarcasm of others. This upsets me every time it happens. I wish I was more sarcasm aware.
Anyways, I think sarcasm is part of my whole hipster persona. I'm not actually hipster (in my opinion), but I have been described as such. There are many attributes I have that do contribute to the hipster image. For one, there's the whole sarcasm thing. On top of that I feel the need to be the first or best at everything. Competition is just one of those things that is inherent in my nature. However, the other part of it is that I have the need to be influential. I feel influential if I have persuaded certain people to certain activities or likes and dislikes. This is the case if I am the first to show my friends something cool. This is why I feel the need to have a strong indie cred. It's not that I wanna be cool, but that I want to fell like my friends like having me around because I introduce them to things that they like. I like feeling important. And to some extent, I think we all do.
Goodnight. And tomorrow, go out and make the world different, because you're in it.
I highly empathize with the contents of this blog post.
ReplyDeleteAlso, hi! I'm glad you're writing things again...
And lastly, I do not know games or TV well enough to understand the previous two posts. Oh well.
Speaking of games, you seem like a good person to ask: What games do you know that are similar in form/idea to Neverwinter Nights? I'd like to play something along those lines again.
OHYESH, YOU. *Jab jab jab.* Dids you ever or continues to own a PSP? What series did/does you have? If the first question does not hold true, do you know of anyone else who did/does own one whom you could ask which series they did/does has?
ReplyDeleteAnd I promise to help you find all the rosary beads in Okami. And spend your diner points before the focus date. And in general be the reliably wonderful person I generally am. Keh.
@NiftyIon
ReplyDeleteYou can easily find similar games on the NWN wiki page
@Sir Isaak
No. I have never owned a PSP. Still, I tend to read enough about that kind of stuff that I might still have advice for you.
And thank you for the promises. Unfortunately, I'm having no problem stampeding through the first 2 focus dates already, but I wouldn't mind help in Okami, if only I got the whole media stuff here set up.
