Alright, confess odd things.

For example, I'm jealous to my big brother becuase he discovered The Smiths first. Dammit, now I can't have a crush for Morrisey without feeling weird about it.

I like finding out what the origins/context of some memes are. It adds a whole new meaning to them.

I've always laughed at Loss, but I didn't know it was a Ctrl Alt Del meme or what Ctrl Alt Del even was until last year.

Just this year I discovered "I'm at soup" came from a parody of Code Geass. I always thought it was from an old vine or youtube clip or something. I have no idea what Code Geass is but I wanna check it out now.

Never watched Death Note, all this time I thought L was the owner of the Death Note and Light Yagami was the detective. Anime fans everywhere are going to kill me for that.

(I'm not saying I mixed up their names, I'm saying I mixed up their role in the story)

The award for "world's dumbest pet peeve" goes to me.

It actually irks me a lot when people refer to the central mechanic of Mario Party 9 and its sequel as "the car" because between both games, only one board in 9 actually uses a car. The others all use different kinds of vehicles.

Sometimes I wonder if the side of me thats nice is all fake, and sometimes I wonder if the side of me thats mean is all fake. Sometimes I wonder if both are fake and Im truly nothing.

I have never seen Star Wars nor Harry Potter nor Lord of the Rings nor Star Trek nor most of the MCU films nor either Avatar. If anyone referenced anything from these I would likely not understand, unless they were specifically mentioning a well-known character

Of course I know who Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Hermione, Dumbledore or Spock are, even though I couldn't tell you anything about any of them.

I actually like not knowing what people online look like. It lets me make a whole face for them. If they're annoying me I can make them look like Shrek's backside, and if they make me happy I can make them look like a Greek God.

[up]x5: I have seen some of the Star Wars films, mostly just because my father likes them, but honestly I found them a bit difficult to follow. And I haven't seen any of the other ones you've mentioned.

I don't know why but for some reason I always picture urban fantasy Gorgans as being particularly fashion focused.

When I have to tilt my head down for a hair cut, I always feel awkward if I decide to peek my eyes upward, because even though I know they don't care where I look, I still feel like I'm breaking the rules.

I'm a fan of Mario Kart: Super Circuit, but playing the game again on Switch, I will admit that playing it on a smaller GBA or DS secreen does a lot to hide the game's... visual imperfections.

I kinda want all works pages would list an age rating (i.e. 18+ or 16+ or 13+ or whatever).

Don't let your 11-year-old kids play Mario or they might become gambling addicts.

Unrelated confession: Part of the reason why "What type of Pokémon is the above avatar" is one of my favorite forum games is because even before I joined this site, I had a hobby of trying to assign Pokémon types to character from non-Pokémon media. I used to do it with some of the Paper Mario bosses and characters, for example.

Tbh I never really hated his minigames in the original, but they did make them better in the remake.

Youtubers who repeatedly say "you feel me" or "you get what i'm sayin'" kinda get on my nerves

NO, I DON'T FEEL YOU, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, STOP ASKING

[up]My odd confession in response to your odd confession is that when I read the phrase "You get what I'm sayin'", apparently I hear it in a New York Italian accent.

I like trying to solve whodunit mysteries, but at the same time, it's kind of frustrating because I never guess the right person. I latch onto one character who seems Beneath Suspicion but still gives me a bad vibe. Then some of the evidence seems to support my theory. Then it turns out to be someone else entirely, and I get disappointed. I really wanted the character I hated to be the bad guy. tongue

I have a very strange thing down to a science. Just by reading a few things and hanging out for about... five? minutes, I can figure out how dark my humor is allowed to get before I'd get banned/hated.
