Seeing others fail

When I recount all the wonderful joyous things that I was fortunate enough to experience during my childhood and the first thing they say afterwards is "How are you still alive?!".

You know what makes me happy is seeing self-described anti-SJWs and tryhard cynics get shown up, but that's just me.

Don't know if that's against me, but I'm not a cynic, nor am I anti-sjw. I just find sjw's annoying as fuck because they white knight and everything.

Mostly I'm wary of the out-of-nowhere cracks against 'SJWs' because depending on who you ask it can mean completely different things, and it's thrown around so willy-nilly against people that it's difficult to gauge who/what they mean when they talk shit about them.

Like from my perspective an 'SJW' is a person who wants people to treat eachother with basic human respect regardless of race, gender, sexuality, creed, etc.

Anyway this is veering heavily off-topic so to get away from that, I'll point out that another thing that makes me happy is awesome pictures of things like Angels and Paladins.

I honestly don't see enough of either lately.

My aesthetic could probably be summed up as either Holy Cyberpunk or Holy Post-Apocalyptic, depending on my mood.

Waking up to a sunny day and a moderate temperature, being able to open my window and get some fresh air without freezing (or roasting) my tail off.

madness...chaos...two things that are rarely ever boring...

silence...being left alone to do what i want when i want...

sadly, these are things this world does not like. o_O well, it likes chaos at least.

i should reinstall diablo 2. :/ i miss starting the equivalent of a dwarf fortress tantrum spiral and leading the resulting chaos on a rampage through the fiery depths of hell. just need a party of necromancers and an equal number of skeletal legions...

come to think of it, that's likely why i like people like Sheogorath so much.

I'm not picky. As long as nothing else is in it, it's good. Hell, I've actually put cut up hotdogs in a pan and fried them.

Bratwurst and Kielbasa are favorites. Same with breakfast sausages.

Now I'm hungry, and it's nighttime here.

Well it's mixed bag with me:

Welding.

Machining.

Engines.

Cartoons.

My BD toys made me especially happy. But sadly the dog got a hold of them.

Richard Spencer getting punched in the face gives me happy little stomach-flutters, I'll admit.

For someone who absolutely hates how they're used IRL, from a standpoint of aesthetics and fascination with mechanics and electronics I've got a real interest in military-grade drones.

Is a very large part of my fascination with cyberpunk settings, tbh.

Clockwork mechanical devices of any kind (steampunk stuff). I love that kind of technology because analog technology is the only kind I can't understand, and that makes it fascinating.

The confused look on a child's face when they watch 1930's cartoons. Many kids can't figure out that this thing is a telephone, even when they see a character talking into it, because they think all phones look like this.

When a 10-year-old kid tells you he's older than you and tries to claim he played games before they got horrible, and you ask him what games he remembers for the Commodore 64, and he says "Super 64 Mario!" And then I laugh at him.

On a related note, the Commodore 64. I may have not been born until 1991, but I love that thing, even if I have to use an emulator.

The real thing was better. The games came on cassette tapes and took forever to load, plus you had to enter a special command (see right of tape) before it would even let you press play. Good times.

When a kid says they're the best videogame player ever, make them play Mega Man for about an hour then when they struggle to get past the first section of the first level, beat it yourself while they watch. They won't be so smug after that.

BTW, dat deceptive cover art. It looks nothing like the game.

My first console was a Sega. After that, I got myself an snes. Fucking loved Sonic and... Can't remember the name. An awesome time traveling game. Chrono Trigger, I think.

LOAD "*", 1, 1

Though that's specifically for Datasettes that use Machine Language instead of only BASIC.

I can't afford the real thing yet. I will be able to once I finish college, which according to my current progress should be 40 years after I die of sleep-deprivation at 28.

Sleep

But that never happens

An interesting question, but one I'm not sure I can answer satisfactorily. After all, what really is happiness? I almost never refer to myself as "happy". I can be content, excited, anxious, eager, disappointed, cynical, or any other variation of an emotion. For instance, while I'm writing this, I'm pretty much "content". I don't have any needs or wants at the moment, but I'm still not quite "happy".

For me, "happiness" is a hollow word with no meaningful weight to it. The term "happy" is used too often and to frivolously for me to take it seriously. That said, it's more of an ideal that I can hope to achieve. Getting paid or having money pleases me. But is the money that makes me "happy" or is it what I can buy with that money? Does money equate "happiness"? I like pizza, but does eating it make me "happy"? Both of those examples don't invoke happiness in me. Possessing something tangible doesn't make me happy, it makes me proud. It's a way of quantifying my worth. That sounds shallow and pessimistic, yes, but it's the truth. Having more of something makes me proud, but it doesn't make me happy because I'll always want more.

What about non-material things? Like a joke or concept that I find amusing. Does that make me happy? No, not really. I've already stated what it makes me: amused. I enjoy jokes, books, and video games, but I'm not truly happy when indulging in any of those. I want to experience those things without being a silent observer. In other words, I'm envious of what others have, intangible or otherwise.

I believe it's in human nature to never be truly happy. We'll always want more of whatever pleases us, for better or worse. I'm no philosopher or psychologist, these are just my opinions. I'm never happy because I'll always want more of whatever makes me "happy".

BlueDingo said:

genesis probably.

as for me, in this order: NES, virtual boy (my neck thanks you for the painful memories, nintendo!), snes/genesis (don't remember which i got first), N64...PS1 maybe? ps2, gamecube, xbox (big black thing), wii...xbox360, and now ps4. oh and several handhelds scattered along that line.

then i got my own PC around the PS2-wii time and emulation has since replaced everything up to psp/ps2 depending on the game (ps2 is surprisingly resource intensive in some games). and i STILL hate the N64's shitty controller design. it hardly works with a ps2 style gamepad effectively and it's BS on the keyboard.

For me, it was an Atari 5200 I got for Christmas in 1986 (a later model one that didn't burn houses down like the originals did), and later an NES, SNES, N64... and after that I went a long spell without consoles until 2010, when I got a used Gamecube.

But nowadays, what really makes me happy is playing Atari 800 games on an emulator. The 800 has similar graphics to the 5200, and playing DigDug on it brings back some good memories.

Of course, the Atari version of DigDug can't hold a candle to the original Star Raiders. I played that a few months ago on the 800 emulator, and my god, it's just as awesome a game now in 2017 as it was back in 1986 when I first played it on my 5200.

Happy, happy memories. :)

Then you need to find a therapist who won't. I was afraid of the same thing, and I've had my share of bad therapists, but there's nothing worthless about needing help. Humans can do great things when they have help.

Whelp time to kill myself

i sure didn't miss all the commercials on tv when we dropped dish network for a year or so. -_- was sitting in the living room trying to watch a movie on syfy and it's like 5-10 minutes of movie then 10-15 minutes of commercials.

f that, i'll just download the movie if i want to watch it. that way will be faster and i won't have to watch the kind of garbage i block on the internet every so often.

gotta squeeze out every single possible penny, right big companies? shame we can't filter out and block that garbage on tv like on the internet.

Mine is called Crunchyroll. It doesn't block everything, but at least I'm not paying for the ads like I do with cable TV, something that was created with the express purpose of not having to sit through advertisements (nice one, network owners).

Sometimes I use another one called Youtube to watch older stuff, like reconstructed Doctor Who serials.
