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.

Super Mario Odyssey punished the player with deducted currency. Wonder also had currency, which I think could also have been deducted there as opposed to lives.

I don't find lives are a Scrappy Mechanic in Super Mario Maker. If you weren't restricted or punished for failing, there wouldn't be pressure to keep pushing your high score and compete with other players. Think of it like a puzzle game.

Even though I haven't played Heavy Rain, I can't hear the name "Shaun" without being reminded of that one glitch/meme.

I want to create StepMania simfiles, but I find it so tedious and irritating to make sure everything is synced correctly.

I tend to have the opposite problems that some people have with actors and movie characters: I tend to know who the character is , but can't remember who the actor is.

[up] I rarely watch live-action media in the first place, but I'm similar. It "helps" that I generally take little to no interest in individual actors.

There was a while where I just... didn't know how much laundry detergent and fabric softener you were supposed to use, so for some amount of time I'd just fill pretty much the entire cup (instead of just filling to the fill line) and dump it in there. I remember finally figuring out the truth when my mom was watching me do laundry and she was like "Is that why the laundry always smells so fresh?" (and no doubt why we were running out of detergent so fast)

Needless to say, I've figured it out by now, but I also think that might be part of the reason why we've recently started using laundry pods instead...note

I can never remember if "bull markets" are on the rise and "bear markets" are in decline, or it's the other way around. I mean, both are named after intimidating animals whose names have four letters and begin with B. Couldn't they have named them something else?

I prefer children's cartoons that don't treat their audience as idiots as opposed to those geared toward a teen or adult audience, regardless of genre.

I once got bullied as a kid for... doing my homework at 7:25.

It definitely wasn't funny at the time, but it's fucking hilarious looking back on it. I have no idea why my classmate cared so much about that.

[up]11 @MathsAngelicVersion There's actually a program called ArrowVortex that has settings that can automatically sync simfiles for you grin. You can explore the website and watch YouTube videos about the program that can help you with syncing.
I'm one of those people who watched the Pokémon anime, but stopped after the first season.
[up]8 @Bluethorn It's almost the same to me, only that I stopped watching at the Battle Frontier arc because young me didn't like the abrupt change in Ash's voice midway through the Hoenn series.

Now for my own confession: I'm a guy, but I root against contestants of my own gender and root for female contestants a lot more in reality shows. This is more towards The Amazing Race because I'm kinda tired of males being dominant, no matter how likeable they are, and very few all-female teams reach that level, and are also the most undercast, leaving little potential.

Also, another confession I have: I hate it when people I follow/stalk on Instagram rebrand their whole profile and delete all pictures they had from when they just started and use it to promote new stuff they want to promote release. It just doesn't feel right and "human" for me when circumstances in their life lead them to erase personal moments they want to share with followers and focus on the professional side.

When something is cute, I never say "aw"; I say "nee!" instead. I think it's because I associate "aw" with being the noise people make when they feel sorry for someone, so I don't think of it as a happy noise.

"Aww" is a mixture for me. I use it for both contexts, I gotta admit.

It's kind of ironic that I don't like loud noises despite the fact that some very loud music genres are some of my favorites (notably punk, metal, and hard rock).

Then again, maybe that's because I have control over listening to that music, and because it's actually a sound I like better than, say, kids crying in public.

I have a similar feeling too. I can listen to certain songs ranked very high on the Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness, but otherwise, I am very sensitive to sounds.
