I feel worse for TJ, but the Joel thing was pretty fucked up too. Man, that's pretty fucked up cyber bullying we did. I feel bad for those guys now, they're probably 30 now but hopefully it didn't effect then too bad lmao

I remember the Joel thing being particularly fucked up, but also legit had me laughing at the time. After I saw it I told myself, "Ok, never post your pic ever on this website or else fanboys will start photoshopping you getting fucked in the ass by Ken Kutaragi" LMFAO

Joel was a cool kid. I think he took the heat and owned the lemms a few times too. But he could say nothing in response to the photoshops, everybody was quoting them dying lmfao

Fuck Kwame_Jackson. I never knew why people liked him. Dude up and left the forum one day in 2006 or 2007, yet would lurk and STEAM message people to communicate with them about threads...for years on end....

GD, FilthyN was famous as fuck on Gamespot in mid 2005 after he made that post. Dude became an internet meme before internet memes existed. People posted "shuddup wit dat science fiction talk fool" in all the threads for years. He was a legend.

if you already knew that and just meant "whose alt was he," then I don't know. That's one of the many unresolved questions to this day. I heard people saying it was lodge years back, but that's it. I doubt how accurate that is.

also, photobucket deleting my images after 5 seconds of posting them

I don't want to make a new topic about this, so I'm going to post it here. Hello sw! I guess you could say that I'm a long lost poster of this site. You used to know me as Teh_Asian. I used to post here actively like a decade ago. But then I left this community because life got busy and I just didn't have time anymore. Eventually, I forgot about this website entirely but I did occasionally lurk maybe once a year.

So can I ask you all a question? What the hell happened? Apparently now there's this sidescroller.net where a bunch of former SWers went.

I remember owning you in CSS games and forum sigbets

Welcome back kiddo ; )

i'd be interested in knowing how korean compares in terms of cultural appreciation/acceptance.

They're pretty open and encouraging as well, or at least in my experience of having a co-worker from Korea who was visiting the US temporarily.

It's mostly on account of Japan's unique history and being an island nation that its population has a recalcitrant culture that makes it tough for them to understand foreigners. They bring much cultural baggage to simple social interactions in my experience.

I took a nightly Japanese class recently at a nearby university for fun

Interesting language and cool people but I get the feeling that the Japanese don't really want you learning their language if you're foreign. They don't really expect you to speak it or get fluent in it, just know a few key phrases (if anything). The class had a few Japanese students interacting with us, and they were cool, but I definitely got that vibe. Not that they hate us, but it's in their cultural mindset. Good luck making genuine friends with any of them either, they're all timid as fuck, intimidated by anyone that's not Japanese. And good luck learning a language with no friends that speak it.

If you actually do speak it well, then they'll look at you like you're a complete weirdo, unlike other languages. They'll also supposedly try to downplay your abilities and talk to you in English, according to blogs. At that point, why bother learning it if you won't go the full way?

Learn Chinese folks, it's similar enough and they're actually impressed by foreigners learning it. Way less cultural baggage because they're more open.

Just saw Zero Days. cool af documentary, though a bit corny at times. 8/10 highly recommend

the godliness known as GameDrunk is still posting here
