the <^> game | v. twenty-four

[urizen]

Spongebob. I never watched spongebob growing up, so yesterday i watched half of season one episode one

^ many such cases, and i hope you feel better soon. also i thought that bluish creature was hatsune miku as a furry, and though thats not the case, it adds layers to this image. Something to think about
> had a dream the toilet in my 2009 toyota camry was clogged, so i had to plunge it to flush properly. also the car itself kept breaking down and wouldn't steer properly, and i kept hitting other cars trying to pull into a parking spot. I woke up drenched in sweat
v how are you?

[Chevalier]

I feel ok! I've had so far a lazy sunday... (I woke up at 11:30, watched Youtube, took a nap, and now it's 4pm lol) but now I'm going to get some work done. I have a few essays and a dissertation to think about, but for today I'm just focusing on one. Later I'm hanging out with friends, we're watching Frieren then playing SDV which I look forward to.
^ I hope your 2009 Toyota camry toilet and steering gets fixed in the dream world.
> I start my new job on Wednesday! It's actually the place I used to work so I already know I'll like it. Which is good because I hate my current job. I am so excited to leave.
v When you want to treat yourself to a food item, what's your go-to?

[Gristle]

Some sort of takeaway usually a burrito or burger with ethe lot. I live pretty far outta town and certain cuisines I really like ie thai or Indian tend to only open at night, otherwise I'd be spending a lot more money on that haha

^ That's good you get to leave a place you hate, hope all goes well in the new (old) job
> I've been so engrossed in skyrim again lately that I'm forcing myself to not play for a few days so I can get anything done, but I've still been wasting time regardless lol... Also my t key is acting up for some reason
v What's something you're looking forward to?

[coën]

Oomhfhhha,,, aa,,, my books to arrive maybe? I ordered um uhh let's see
- Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman, bc bread and circuses
- Psychopolitics by Byung-Chul Han, because he seems to be a big name in contemporary philosophy right now, but I haven't read anything by him yet, and this one caught my interest
- The Minotaur Takes A Cigarette Break by Steven Sherrill, because I'm genuinely obsessed with the Minotaur and am surprised that more modern writers haven't taken a stab at the guy from a more metaphorical angle, so this immediately caught my interest. If anyone else is minotaur-obsessed like me, I've also got Borges' The House of Asterion on my list, but it's a very short one


^ yea I've played through all of rdr2 again. the addiction might slowly be waning but for now it's john marston hours
> was at work (dirt-covered car engine creature that hasn't seen sunlight in many days) and in walks the most gorgeous tall elizabeth debicki-looking middle aged woman,,, bro... one chance... for your hand in marriage... you can have everything in the divorce
v What's your favourite cuisine??

[cainhurst]

i'll probably have to go with italian because it's what i'm most comfortable and familiar with cooking for myself, but my guilty pleasure when it comes to ordering takeout is definitely indian food. a good palak paneer used to be one of my usual treats at the end of a crap week back when i had the money to afford eating out/ordering food

^ you reminded me of last year when i was on my way to get my first tattoo and briefly made eye contact with the most gorgeous alt goth girl and she smiled at me because i, too, had thankfully chosen to very obviously dress outside the societal norms that day. her eyeliner is etched into my brain to this day, it was a genuine work of art
> the game was released 23 years ago, but dragon roost island from the legend of zelda wind waker OST still makes me feel incredibly strong emotions to the point i nearly cried listening to it today. something something childhood nostalgia or whatever, i'm sure. meanwhile, the miror b battle theme from pokemon colosseum/gale of darkness gives me emotions that are the polar opposite in vibes. ALSO something something childhood nostalgia, but it really is amazing how vastly different these two tracks from my childhood make me feel. anyway, if you feel like listening to some vidya gayme tunes that may or may not be older than you, here's two of my personal favourites, dragon roost island & the miror b battle theme
v do you have a favourite video game (or movie) OST? if not, what are some bands/artists you used to love when you were younger?

[( ͡◉ ͜ʖ ͡◉)]

For video games, it's 100% Cyberpunk 2077. Movie OSTs are much harder! I think The Fellowship of the Ring and Tron Legacy might be my favorites there??

^ Mannnn, you got me craving Indian food now!! I love you, goat curry
> Tehe going on a date this weekend with someone new, yippee
v What's the best date you've ever been on? (Or if you've never been on one, what's your go-to hangout spot with friends?)

[lemonbumb]

automatic answer is the fall out boy concert i went to with my ex back in 2023. we exchanged promise rings and they guessed the magic 8ball song (bob dylan, if anyone's curious). I no longer talk to them but that night is burned in my memories as the happiest i've been romantically with another person. I haven't gone on any dates since we broke up though just bc i've been focused on trying to graduate at this point. hopefully soon that memory will be usurped though!

^ how exciting!! I hope it goes well and you have fun together ^^

> there's so much homework to be done and so many things on my personal agenda, including filing my taxes. ugh. i hate this time of year fr (edit: just got my laundry done so now i'm in fresh pj's which is a very lovely feeling)

v what's your favorite place to get a fun drink and a sweet treat?

[Gristle]

I rarely ever opt for sweet things myself I've i'm getting food actually, though I drive my dad to the chemist in the next town over every Monday and he's super into mcdonalds frappes, so we stop there each time and I usually get one too. As for food though I do like kinder beuno bars or if I'm going by an asian grocer I like anything red bean or black sesame flavoured

^ Hopefully your homework and taxes go by easily enough, I don't envy that but fresh laundry does sound good, haha
> Every time I crack open tinned fish to eat with something it makes me think of the "Who woulge? "dinner" it is my cat" meme. I like cat foot for humans
v What is the last band/music artist you listened to for the first time? what did you think of them?

[akü]

i started listening to wolf alice recently, and i like them well enough. lipstick on the glass and just two girls are my favorites from what i’ve listened so far

^ cracking open tins of fish on the regular, perhaps was a cat in a past life
> conveniently forgot how to draw again just in time for when i have to Lock In. perfectly timed events
v are there any projects you’ve been working on / recently finished?

[OKULTRA]

mmmmmmmmm........ im too busy to work on many projects but my art is thriving right now and im doing full body references for all of my ocs in one of my rp servers, which is huge for me. i think that counts

^ I feel u so hard ;; sending u good vibes and hoping u feel motivation soon!!!
> forgot my medicine at home -__- im soooooo epee
v what was ur dream job as a kid ? why and what did you imagine it to be ?
