I'd guess sort of the opposite is the issue
the fact that they have 130+ people on their plurk means they're obviously friending tons of people just because they happen to share a game or a fandom or something without having any actual connection to most of those people, and most of them probably aren't even following back, they're not slipping through the cracks, they're wandering around in a canyon of their own devising
I follow, like, fifteen people, but most of them are *actually friends* whom I have enough energy to cultivate relationships with, and I get plenty of reciprocation

I hope Victarion wins over at least one of them.
honestly if there are aspects of the show that genuinely appeal to you, just skip season 2, it was kind of a hot mess, but you can never watch a moriarty episode and still have a lot of engaging material, because it's not ALL RIVAL MIND BATTLE PLOT ARC like BBClock, most of the show is clever pulp-to-procedural unrelated mysteries with solid characterization
I know this is about Ana and Char but people can feel so entitled to bumming rides off people it's honestly incredible. I would occasionally offer rides to people after classes in college if they were going the same way I was, but some people came to just expect that because I offered before I would give them a ride every time, then get mad when I told them I had to go do something else that day that wasn't going their way, or would ask me to skip or be late to the thing I was going to so I could take them where they wanted to go instead.
It is as Destiny's Child said, you don't pay my automo-bills, so fuck off.

didn't this happen once? or, rather, someone started replying to posts in a game they didn't belong to, actually made CR there, and lasted for months without getting caught? i feel like it was a really long time ago, though.

i couldn't agree with you more. if anyone is thinking about checking out the anime, please at least read the manga first. you're missing out on so much if you don't.

my plurk list has yet to break twenty people either, but i only add people if ive got decent cr going with them in games
as a result we've always got something to talk about, be it our characters, our current threads, or other things as time goes on and we get to know each other better
mass-adding people you have no connection with apart from a common game or two does seem like a recipe for getting lost in the muddle. you can't tell me you frequently chat with and respond to that entire list either. in fact, i'll bet you don't even talk to half of them at all

Re: What's the saltiest you have ever been over a canon?
(Anonymous) 2017-08-29 05:16 am (UTC)(link)i've always felt like everything from project .hack (first half of the franchise) was amazing and mysterious, and everything afterward...not so much. GU was okay. at least it was insanely fun, if not terribly deep. i haven't even bothered keeping up after that.
actually, no, did the legend of the twilight manga belong to project .hack? that's about when it started going downhill for me.
but yeah, LINK is definitely the absolute worst the franchise has to offer.

holy crap, you're the only other person with faceblindness i've ever come across on dwrp. if you haven't already, i recommend taking the time to study voices too. i can tell when a minor actor from a b-list movie shows up in a commercial voiceover three years later. this has saved my ass so many times at work.
it's still a nightmare when my manager decides to dye her hair though.

as someone playing in a game that's ending soon where over half the playerbase is suffering from burnout, i feel this so hard
I'm really, really not interested in this show, man. moriarty and holmes' dynamic is always my favorite aspect of holmes adaptations, and elementary completely loses me on that. not sure why you felt the need to try to sell it to me.

god are you me anon
the ending of afterschool nightmare just puts a huge fucking wrench in like half of the story because if they're all babies being born, why the fuck do they have families
what does that mean for that girl who got raped in elementary school - like does that mean it ~never happened~ or whatever????? was her rapist another baby waiting to be born????????????????????
and it looked like they implied everyone died to let the protag survive/be born but then she meets her love interest who seems to have been born just fine????????

(Anonymous) 2017-08-29 05:53 am (UTC)(link)there was a break up scene...? wow, they did a shit job with that.
not trying to be a dick because i know sometimes this isn't the case and you really do engage with people and people don't engage back, but
i frequently see this from people who don't ever comment on other people's plurks or take an interest in their memes and their plotting and their lives.
you have to give people a reason to give a shit. and even then, accept they have their own lives going on.

Re: What's the saltiest you have ever been over a canon?
(Anonymous) 2017-08-29 06:30 am (UTC)(link)I don't know if it's because I didn't closely follow the other two "parts" of the series or if it really was as bad as I thought it was, but the end of xxxHoLic still makes me want to punch babies. I know now that it was the whole "everything is Clow Reed's fault, literally everything" bit that caused all three series (CCS, Tsubasa, Holic) to happen canonically but that doesn't do shit to make me feel any less chafed about the time skip and everything that happened after. There's just... no satisfaction in Holic. None.
I know Kei came out a few years ago and a part of me does want to pick it up and try again, but the rest of me is just gunshy and ready to crumple in to a pathetic sobbing ball if anything in it goes remotely south.

you'd think that a few of them would be interested in what you have to say, right?>
are you depressed or having any emotional/stress issues at the moment?
because this sounds like the kind of thinking that would come from that. thinking of plurk as some kind of barometer for social success/any reliable measure of your relationship with people is the guaranteed to make you miserable. if you're starting to feel like this, it's most likely a sign you need to step away and take a break from plurk/social media in general and find some other human connection for a bit.
plurks viewable by all people on your timeline are the worst place to engage people. especially when you have so many friends, knowing that all OTHER 130+ of your buddies who i don't know are going to see what we talk about is kind of a turn-off from me engaging in anything, because i never know who's gonna come in and hijack the convo. i also avoid replying to plurks where the op is too obviously looking for validation or where they they seem to be mostly talking to themselves.

it's time. the AC is getting closer. the begging for last minute activity starts. pinging people to the plurk. citing AC rules incorrectly.
instead of like, going into the game and tagging that network post for five comments or finding the first open log and going at it for three comments. the AC is a joke. if you can't pass it, you aren't supposed to be playing in the game. (or maybe in any of the three games that you're currently in.)

You're right. They should have all customised their uniforms like in gossip girl.
when a player makes a character do something stupid and it backfires terribly, so they have them publicly play the victim for attention
and then ignore the responses from characters that ICly call them out on being an idiot instead of giving them buttpats
delicious butthurt
