How effective is the Solid Snake conversation method?
The snake conversation method?
japanese people do this
People ask me stuff first so I have a hard time utilizing this.
>>738293476Japanese conversations have a lot of "yep uh-huh right" to show that you're actively listening to what the other person is saying, and apparently the penchant for Snake to repeat what he's just been told as a question is part of that. Maybe in English, it should be translated as some variant of "Got it," but I don't really want localizers to make shit up much.
>>738293476This is how Japanese People speak
>>738293476I got icecream too. But I have icecream everyday I work because I always have a tub in the work freezer.
I do this in conversation. It works.>t. Autist
It also works for boomers. In fact it works wonders for boomers.You can also do the "ok" "yeah" "uh huh" "mmh" trick with boomers. It will up your perceived rapport with them by a single-digit numerical factor. If you keep having conversations with boomers go awry because of their bullshit, use one of these tricks.
>>738293702Work freezer?
>>738293590Hey anon how are you?
>>738293476
>>738293748Theres a fridge+freezer in the break room at work-... Fuck
>>738293750Anon?
>>738293750Ano-... No I mean... Huh... Y... You too!
>>738293476Yes actually. Some people really like to talk so all you have to do is give them one or two words and they'll write you a book.
>>738293702>eating ice cream everyday do Americans really
>>738293996I'm 6' 130lbs and don't have lactose intolerance and also not American
>>738293590How am I?
>>738293996Americans?
>>738293750How am I?
>>738293996A simple vanilla or chocolate ice cream on a stick does not equate to the fucking gargantuan proportions that Americans use plus sauce, nuts, sprinkles, etc
>>738294107I don't know, are you?
>>738294046Lactose Intolerance?
>>738293476it workswas gonna do this >>738293535 so congrats anon fpbp
Someone post that calorie bomb picture, the chocolate cup or whatever that's one serving in merifatland.
>>738293750Good, how are you
>>738294172Don’t know?
>>738294187It works?
>>738293750
Psycho Mantis?
>>738293648The japanese do both, a lot of mhm, yeah, ok, and also a lot of psycho mantis? metal gear, huh? oh, the second floor basement, right right.
>>738294231Calorie bomb?
>>738293850Talking to extreme introverts is painful. They don't respond whenever you say something, not even a "hm" or an "ok" just pure silence when you speak to them. It's really difficult to tell if they understand what you said or if they're just ignoring you.
>>738294253Snake?
>>738293476I literally talk like this in Chinese>>neiga dong xi>NIGGA...?
>>738293476This is how you interact with NPCs in Wizardry 8, you click a word and hope they reveal relevant information.
>>738294373As an introvert, I try to at least grunt or something. You're welcome.
>>738294398it's also how you interact with npcs irl
>>738294153Nah, I have a 2L tub of high calory ice cream at work. My metabolism is just so high it doesn't fucking matter how much I eat, I'm a god damned space heater. In fact, today I ate 2 bowls of cereal, a full pizza, 2 sandwiches, half of that tub of ice cream and half a kilo of potato chips.
>>738294378I always wondered what the chinese meant when they kept saying nigga
>>738293476I actually took "What did they/you mean by this" from here and use it after the Solid Snake technique. It is a surprisingly good way of catching people off guard. Most people don't think before they speak.
>>738294398Wizardry?
>>738294428its also how police officers communicate on a stop.>press x to escalate.>dream up a violation to prolong the conversation.>don't talk, demand a lawyer, tell them to lawyer up.>they get fucked over in court anyway.heh.
>>738294398relevant information?
It seems fucking irritating to talk to someone like that. Like, dude, if you have a question about something I said, ask it in a full sentence. Don't Dougie Jones me.
>>738294618Dougie Jones?
>>738294618Who's Dougie Jones?
>>738293750...How?
>>738294618in a?
>>738294431Are you young and on your feet all day?
>>738293702work freezer?
>>738294717young and on your feet all day?
have you played terraria before?
>>738294618Irritating?
>>738294618full sentence?
>>738294812feet, huh?
>>738294827yeah, you like terraria?
>>73829471736 and yeah.
>>738293589FFXIII-2 has the most unspeakable garbage version of this.
>>738294860Like terraria?
>>738294691Oh, in the third season of Twin Peaks the protagonist, Dale Cooper, loses his memory after returning from a different world and during his amnesia arc he takes the place of a guy named Dougie Jones and can only repeat what other people said.
>>738294827Terraria? What's that?
>>738293476>Bendis, the writer?
>>738293648i literally do that unintentionally. The yesterday when I was working out near the beach, a man came and started talking about stuff i don't remember exactly.I was like 'uh-huh' while continuing lifting weights. that happens to me each time someone attempt to start a conversation with me. i think i'm just used for being ignored by everyone i know so my mind can't adapt the sudden attention.
Will you stop answering my questions with questions?
>>738293476Legit works with normaltrash and all women.
>>738293750...are you?
>>738294618Question?
>>738295009Am I, huh
>>738293702I always eat ice cream when I'm having a bad day.
>>738294618Full sentence?
>>738294936Dale Cooper?
>>738293476What fucking dumb bimbos the snakes are.
>>738293648>>738294969Wait what? Is the concept of saying "uh-huh" while someone speaks to you somehow unknown to Americans? I'm latino and this is 100% normal here and no, it does not sound anything like Snake, I'm pretty sure he is weird even for the standards of people that interject like that
>>738295079but you eat ice cream every day!
/v/?Incel?Gamergate?Ragggggg, this is confusing(David Hayter voice)
>>738295169Zoe Quinn?
>>738295124you know, something that you can eat?
>>738294969I do it to. I try to use fewer words so it doesn't sound like I'm interrupting. Lots of nodding and "uh-huh"s. I have autism and struggle to hold eye contact with anyone, even family, so I do it to show I actually am paying attention even if I don't look like I am.
>>738295079Stop eating ice cream Raiden.
>>738295160Generally speaking, in America it's a little rude to interrupt in the style Japanese do(and conversely it's a bit rude not to do so in Japanese, since it shows you are paying attention.) Cultural differences.
>>738295124Solidus turned out surprisingly non autistic, compared to everyone else. Especially surprising, since he's an exact genetic copy of the most autistic one.
>>738294618
>>738295160yeah i know it is normal but at the same time my mind keeps telling me that people wants me to add something meaningful and not just 'uh-huh'. Like, when i told the whole plot of film story to one of my friends he was like 'uh-huh' which made me feel so irritated for the lack of engagement. that's why i feel insecure for my lack of responses.
>>738295381The Japanese go fucking hogwild with it, they have to go "yeah, ok, sure thing, got it, cool, right" after every single fucking word you say. In America you just nod and go "mm" after every couple sentences or pause in conversation and you're good
how do you respond to this taunting without being mad?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzG8Sty9veI
>>738293476the solution to social anxiety is so simple...
>>738293750>Me? What about you?
>>738294530>MUH POLEESRent free.
>>738295619Social Anxiety?
>>738295486maybe it is true that autism is learned rather than genetically inhereted. The Bosses true goal was to make a world of fucking autists, and BB is the result of 10 years of concentrated autism indoctrination.
>>738294431>but he was STILL hungry
Goyim?
>>738293476It is how conversations play out in Morrowind
>>738295812Always am, growing up my parents took me to the hospital because they were convinced I had a tape worm
>>738295818Yes Snake, they are less than animals. Barely even worthy of being called cattle.
>>738295852Is snake Nerevar?
>>738293698>>738293708>this is how Japs speak>it's also how autistic people process conversationsReally gets your noggin joggin.
>>738295812HOLY FUCKING SHITBALLS LOOK AT THAT HUNGRY FUCKING CATERPILLAR GO
>>738295896boo hoo nigga idctry picrel
>>738295160It's usually more polite to not say anything when someone else is speaking. Nobody is going to start crying because you made a noise to let them know you understood, but people usually show they're listening by making eye contact.
>>738294618Like, dude?
>>738295267ugh, don't even get me started with the 'autistic-traits'.As someone who has no mental issues, medically and legally speaking. most people think i'm 'autistic' for being 'different' as they put it. i'm just not a very social person, if it wasn't clear.
>>738295903Cattle?
>>738293589>>738293698Japanese people?
>>738296039>In America you have to stop what you're doing when someone is talking to you and stare at them straight in the eyes, not saying a word, otherwise you're being impoliteNo wonder you guys have so many school shootings over there, entire country full of fucking weirdos
>>738293535why do I suddenly have the urge to reply to this
>>738296103lack of backchanneling is not the reason we're weirdos
>>738295619pls, enlighten us.i was dealing with social anxiety since middle school
>>738296082Yes cattle, the goyim are lesser than cattle. They are slave race that only exist to serve the La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo.
literally how I talk to my baby cousins>school was fun todaySchool was fun??>yah me and my friend mike played on the jungle gymPlayed on the jungle gym??>yah we jumped up and down and found some bugs and stuffFound bugs and stuff???
>>738293476i do thispeople get annoyed
>>738293476Conversation method?
>>738296152failed context clues class too I see
>>738296174annoyed?
>>738294618Fucking?
>>738296165lmao that feels like a conversation i would have with a chat bot when i got no energy left
>>738295160third worlders say the dumbest shit sometimes. next they’ll say something like “wait do americans actually breathe oxygen and drink water????????”
Video ... Games ... ?
>Not just pretending you're busy by acting out reload animations of various video game guns while saying "uh huh" and "mm hmm" First day socially interacting?
>>738293476I can't fucking find that one bendis speak edit, all I can find is pictures of his actual pages
>>738296269A quaint, little town in Austria, you should visit it sometime. They changed the name some years ago, however.
>>738293648You're right but it is still a Kojimbo quirk where one guy is babbling and Snake is just responding with yeah-uh-huh-yea-got-it-okay-yeh, instead of having an active dialogue for the audience.It is realistic in a way though because that's how you'd have conversation in a bar.
>>738293535The SCM...
>>738296436They changed the name?
>>738294618Talk to someone?
>>738296462Conversation in a bar?
>>738294618dougie jones is what happens when you have to watch a silent RPG protagonist not being played by you
>>738295381so it's like that, huh
>>738296470yeah, they got tired of tourists stealing the signs and disturbing the locals so they just changed it
Making sounds, nodding, and occasionally chuckling is the autism meta. Once befriended some skank at Panda Express even though I’m incredibly autistic. She’d literally stand right next to me as I’m cooking or washing dishes and rant about stupid shit. I can’t even remember what she said because I wasn’t really paying attention, I’d just nod and go “mhm” over and over. One time she even got me in trouble with the manager because she took lunch with me and she could not shut the fuck up and let me go back to work until the manager had to step in and end our lunch break. Fuck Panda Express, I should’ve gotten a job at Little Caesar’s
>>738296470Unfortunately so. Strangely, when this happened, the town received an influx of Finns.
>>738296060I get you. It sucks to get lumped in like that. Autism is a lot of different things, and it's a little different for every case. Anti-social behavior is actually not one of the core traits, but it tends to arise naturally because the autistic person is continually shunned for being "different" and just gives up at a young age. Plus, feeling actual fucking pain from making eye contact for too long doesn't help.Some people just genuinely like being alone or prefer a little less human contact than others. Nothing autistic about that. Anyone giving you flak for that needs to shut the fuck up and do some actual goddamn research.
>>738293781I look like this and say this (I have a deadpan expression and respond with simple questions)
>>738296693Fingolians?
>>738294253gif?
>>738296704Research?
>>738296704I can't do small talk to save my life, literally nothing comes to mind, I have zero interest in people's lives or the weather and at work I carefully plan my entire schedule based on how I can avoid having to talk 1-on-1 with other peopleDoes that sound autistic
>>738296708>I look like thisLondon?
>>738294373Kek you just made me realize whenever my boss gives me appraisals or whatever those biyearly review things are called I always just stare at him in silence and he always looks at me like I’m retarded and even asks me why I’m looking at him like that. But on regular conversation I always make sure to respond in some capacity as he talks, even if it’s just “uh-huh”s and “right”s
>>738296756Yes.But I am autistic AND good at smalltalk so maybe its not the indicator I think it is. Small shit is super easy to talk about. Takes zero brain power.
>>738296756Nah, you know your limits. You just have a low mental bandwidth for other people's bullshit.
>>738294618You’re that ninja
>>738293476secret stone? demon king?
>>738296812So, why do you do that thing, just to put him off gaurd?>>738294421I appreciate the indication.
the hardest part is giving a fuckdamn about their menial cattle bullshit
>>738296103retard
>>738296902I literally try telling people>I don't care about this>this isn't interesting>please stop talking to me about thisbut they just keep fucking talking like they can't hear me. Sometimes, every once in a while, on occasion, I'll get someone who goes "oh sorry, my bad" but most people will just keep fucking blabbering on about whatever dumb shit they want.
>>738296902once you train yourself enough it becomes automaticits weirder to say nothing than to just bullshit like everyone else
You guys can play the repeat game back and forth as much as you want but at some point one side of the conversation has to actually answer the questions so the dialogue can eventually end
>>738296343ironically that's the dumbest shit ever I heard today;.do you even see the context of what i wrote? i was speaking about my own experience, not goddamn america!
I do this with an internet friend. He always has some fun topic to talk about and I’m the least interesting and most unlikable person in the world so I never have anything interesting to say. So a lot of our conversations end up being just me repeating what he just told me. Sometimes I’ll take something he said that somehow relates to me in a way and try to go on a personal rant about it. But most of the time I’m like a chatbot that’s worn thin and has gotten to a point where it parrots back what you said almost word for word. I wish I was an interesting and likable person. But I can only try and fail so many times. Honestly, I’m just counting the days until he and our friend group ghost me or just outright block me
>>738296165this post made me smile
>>738296026>Leaf: I summon the aphid-hunting parasitic wasps!How do you respond without sounding suddenly pregnant?
>>738296756I’m kinda like this except that it’s not so much that I don’t care about others but rather I’m simply incapable of communicating with them. It’s like my brain has a very high ping and is lagging severely. By the time I process what someone just said to me, a whole second had already passed. It makes banter extremely awkward and excruciating
>>738297110Parasitic wasps?
>>738293535Yeah its where you repeat what your conversing partner says in the manner of a question
>>738297027That's when I pull out my thought-terminating cliche list and end the conversation immediately
>>738296987>most people will just keep fucking blabbering on about whatever dumb shit they want.Yeah they don't care about dialogue, they just want to run their mouths. I usually make a quick excuse and walk away, they have no defense.
>>738296875Stare at him in silence? I dunno, because I’m listening to him. What else am I supposed to do? Interrupt him so I can tell him about a deer I saw the other day?
>>738297210just smile and wave boys, smile and wave
>>738297189Post your smuggest anime girl .
>>738297189>responses to irl convos
>>738296103Someone unironically got pissed off at me before while I was working and down my job that I couldn't look away from at that particular moment when he came up and talked to me even though I acknowledged him and let him know I was listening. He stormed off and told our lead to which I told my lead what happened and he laughed
>>738297242
>>738293476This is a good method, I use it all the time at work. I am part deaf so most of it is just to confirm I heard the other person said what I thought, occasionally I will hear some really garbled shit, repeat that and then they correct me. About two people have mentioned I do this all the time and I just tell them I have hearing problems.
>>738296160La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo?
>>738294445It's "ne ge," which is a verbal idiom that they use when they're trying to think of something. Sort of like how English speakers use "um" or "uh". It's more literally similar to "that thing". Kind of like "Hey man, did you hear about... you know, that thing... the thing that... that..."
>>738296060You sound like my brother. I.e. someone who everyone knows is autistic but refuses to get it diagnosed properly because "you don't think you have it"
>>738297327>I am part deafSo you are one of those fags that never fully understand a post and start an argument based o a flimsy premise? Retards like you have ruined /v/.
>>738297446Because if you do end up getting an official diagnosis then you will be barred from getting certain jobs. There's literally no reason to get a diagnosis unless you want to fuck yourself over and reduce your options
>>738296646mhmm
>>738297045>I wish I was an interesting and likable person.He talks to you for a reason. Inquiring about what someone's talking about shows interest and it's way better than picrel. If you're that worried then spice up the way you ask about something, or if you wanna be interesting then read books idk
>>738297470yeah
>>738293476I actually did this with a bunch of zoomers and theyre like woah bro thats so ligma
>>738297526>if you wanna be interesting then read books idkjust get a hobby, like playing video games or knitting.
>>738297327>part deafNot a thing, bifag.
>>738297567>like playing video gamesWe are already on /v/. Do you think people come here only for offtopic threads and they don't have any actual interest in video games?
>>738297526If you replace the second panel with the first then that's basically what talking to autists and normalfags and women is like (I hate everyone)
>>738297446What's the point of getting an autism diagnosis if you aren't a kid?You need to shell out like 1k where I live and the only benefit I can think of is if you want to be a spiteful cunt if someone at work calls you retarded, but you don't even need that to send HR after someone.
>>738297605Video Games?
>>738297210you know you can give slight grunts of acknoloedgement, nodding you head at the end of a sentence to signify you are aware of what he said etc.Its like when you arent sure if your dad is listening or not, just giving some indication of continued involved to communicate your arent just totally zoned out.Doesnt have to be anything eloquent or thought intensive.
>>738297045Trying to relate it to yourself is fine in moderation, but if you do it too much it just looks like you're trying shift the conversation from them to you. The best strategy is to ask meaningful questions about whatever they are talking about. It shows that you're paying attention and have an interest in hearing them talk more. Everyone loves being heard.
>>738293750I got old and now just tell people. It's great because you can see the life drain out of people's eyes when they were just using it for small talk and thus said small talk ends because -they- don't want to continue, leaving me the victor. Usually, the few times it doesn't work mean I now regularly talk to a 75 year old lady who used to be big in the glasgow organised crime scene (or is good/demented enough to pretend) and a guy who is trying to take a photo of everything in the world. Also it doesn't fucking work if they want a fag from me first fuck just take your smoke and go I want to smoke in silence.

The meta to make people believe you're deep, introspective, and insightful is to tilt your head a bit, squint your eyes and scratch your face and go "hmm... okay..."after they tell you something t. Advanced autism
>>738296165I do this when I talk to my nieces or nephew too, there's unironically something so precious about how kids get excited over the smallest things and love when an adult gives them just a small bit of attention
>>738297748Thanks for reminding me of the stroke I nearly had when my manager asked me if I'd played FATE and thought they meant the VN before realising the stupid gatcha shit had just come out. You haven't lived until a 50something fat guy asks you if you know seiba.
>>738296103It's worth noting that most people don't care if you're being a little impolite. It's nice to show that you're listening the whole time, but you can just say hi and go do something else, and they should be fine with it. It's not the nicest way to talk to someone, but sometimes you have more important shit to do than make eye contact.
>>738297946Nobody cared what my name was until I put on the mask.
>>738298374>his name is "Dallas"NTA but that is a stupid name.
>>738297992Do you have the .ppt?
Anyone one else actually pretty good at casual conversation but is terrible at anything official like interviews or workplace meetings? I freeze up like a deer in headlights. I hate it. It's so bad I quit my job because I kept having to leave the building and hide in my car just to calm myself down. I don't know what's wrong with me
>>738298303I just default to "I don't know if I've heard that one" and if it's something I know about and potentially wish to discuss then I will suddenly remember that I do know about that subject during the conversation.
>>738298563The added pressure of wanting to seem cool can make it hard to actually seem cool. Sometimes I'm fine at public speaking and sometimes it's almost impossible. It seems like the best solution is to just assume it'll go fine and not care much about the details.

Raiden, have you ever heard of the janitors?
>>738294936Twin Peaks?
>>738293589This, this type of answering appears in a lot of jap media, be it games, anime, etc
>>738293535Yes, the snake conversation method, it's a conversation strategy that revolves around you repeating the last part of whatever your conversational partner said in a bid to appear interested, concluding with a "hmm..." whenever the conversation sounds like it's coming to a close.It's based off the dialogue for the character "Snake" from the hit video game "Metal Gear Solid".Pretty funny, isn't it?

>actually interested in what people have to say>super autistic>people think i dont want to hear them talk
>>738295736Snake, social anxiety disorder is an intense, persistent fear of being watched, judged, or humiliated by others, often causing individuals to avoid social situations or endure them with extreme discomfort.

>>738298061Snake, you seriously don't know what /v/ is? It's the video game board on a famous website known as "4chan". It's founded by a person called Moot. He disappeared one day and never came back. Some say vee is the best place to talk about video games, but the discussions on /v/ can get a little...heated.
>>738300097Autistic?
>>738301964Moot?
>>738302089Moot, or known as Christopher Poole. He was the founder of 4chan, Snake. Twenty years ago, he created 4chan to be a copy of the Japanese forum 2chan. Not much is known about him. Some say he even has ties to powerful people like Jefferey Epstein! One day, he just vanished from the public eye. Some users say he doesn't exist, but I don't believe that. Be careful snake.
>>738293476I made games as a teen growing up for fun (I was terrible at it), and I found myself falling into this trap whenever I wanted to have a lot of exposition. Having the main character focus in on what you want to explain next is an easy and lazy way to avoid walls of dialog without any breaks.
>I see.>Is that so?>Mmhm.>Really?>Interesting.
>>738297184The manner of a question?
>>738299639I'm done with you and your janitors, colonel!
>>738293535Yes Snake. It's a conversation method revolving around repeating back your interlocutor's statements as questions. This is interpreted as a cue to elaborate.
>Colonel, I don't get it. Why was it so important for me to infiltrate this place? It's an image board on the internet, you could've gotten anyone to do this.>Snake, it's crucial to have you on this mission. While it's true I could have sent a different agent, or even Otacon, I don't want to risk them becoming compromised.>Compromised?>Yes, Snake. You're manly, you have a sexy voice, you're muscular, you smoke, you don't care about politics beyond your job as a soldier, and barely legal women want you to ravage them.>At least take me out for dinner first.>Very funny, Snake. I mention all that is because you're exactly the opposite of this website's typical userbase. There is no danger at all of you becoming transfixed by the content on 4chan and losing sight of your mission.>You're making it sound like some kind of virus. How dangerous can this place be?>More than you could ever imagine. Users spend upon hours wasting away, enagging in meaningless, circular arguments, often without any relation to the topic at hand, often times thinking they're speaking to one person when, in reality, many others misused the site's anonymity to enter the conversation with intent to worsen discourse.>But isn't the point of this place to talk about video games? Isn't that supposed to be fun?>In theory, yes. That was the original purpose of the /v/ board. But that long since changed. Screenshots of comments from other social media sites, gossip about internet "celebrities", colloquially reffered to as "ecelebs", thinly-veiled excuses to upload borderline pornographical content involving fictional women of varying ages, sales charts that quickly devolve into shouting matches, threads clearly baiting people into political, religious or racist diatribes, etc. Everything except actual video game discussion. Rumor has it most users don't even play video games anymore.>Sounds like hell. Why don't they just leave?>And where would we go, Snake?>Outside, maybe? Wait, "we"?

This thread made me realise I have both autism and social anxiety disorder. Is it over for me?
>>738293702I love ice cream!
I like this thread.

>>738303221>But isn't the point of this place to talk about video games? Isn't that supposed to be fun?
>>738303990Just pull yourself up by the bootstraps.
>>738303990If you didn't already know it can't have been that bad.
>>738296646>Haha Anon, we should totally start going out, don't you think?>Mhm.>Hey Anon, we've been going out for a while now, would you like to meet my parents?>Mhm.>Mr. Anon, do you take Ms. Skank to be your lawfully wedded wife? Do you promise to love and cherish her, in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer, for better for worse, and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her, for as long as you both shall live?>Mhm.
>>738293476Reminds me of that one scene from Food Court.

>>738297446Getting diagnosed in France is fucking hell with le free healthcare bullshit, everything is always complete, you cannot see anyone without connections, my only lead right now is literally through a freemason someone in my family knows. And I've been considered autistic and depressive by a lot of people all my life, but still not diagnosis at this point. And I'm considered autistic despite not unleashing my power-level (saying based shit is literally illegal here). What a filthy fucking country I live in.
>>738303221Excellent post, anon
>>738293750Fine anon, how are you?Anon did not answerI felt used

>>738293476Why does /v/ only repost memes from twitter and reddit these says? Why do we no longer make OC?
>>738298817sacre bleu.....Applying to every talk between two or more people, people should notice more often that when you're the only bloke talking for 10,15 min straight without interruptions nor opinions for the other sides, then either>you're extremely autistic about what you're talking>you really don't let other people talk>the subject you're talking is really boring and only you care about itWhatever the case, it's high time to END THAT FUCKING TOPIC and move to something else, or else you'll kill the entire talk
>>738313606we had snake conversation threads before twitter even existed. Twitter taking our meme and backchanneling it to us is like how cultures in real life work.
>>738313637this is just how teaching works
>>738293476For me it's the>Foster called on the use of nuclear weapons. Understand?>You mean John Foster Dulles? That's when Eisenhower bluffed they would strike any Soviet aggression with nuclear weapons, but none of the 1000 homes in the plans were ever destroyed?>No.>I'm talking about Jack Foster. The other one.
>>738294618It..?
>>738303221gosh, that's good
>>738313858Yeah, but in that particular frame of conversation, the aim is to learn about a certain subject, so it makes sense that you stay listening to a certain person for a whileI'm talking about this shit happening in normal conversations, specifically for exchange of info or opinions, and where you don't necessarily learn something new but simply talk about casual stuff
I try to do the same, but i use some old timey quotes trying to sound more soulful. I also look to nowhere in particular and say "far out".This made people say that i am really wise.
>>738314268It just makes you look like JonTron
>>738293476it's effective when the other person just want to keep talking, so 99% of the time

>>738301839Nobody thinks Kojima's writing is conventionally good, not even the glazers. He compiles a bunch of ideas he thinks are cool and will go to extremely unnecessary, sometimes comedic lengths to try and justify it within his universe. He's basically 5D shitposting if you think about it.
>>738299002Pretty funny?
>>738296115suddenly?
>>738314362Jonathan Aryan "JonTron" Jafari? From GameGrumps? The one replaced by Leigh Daniel "Danny Sexbang" Avidan?
>>738293535Holy fpbp
>>738313331I’m good anon thank you very much for asking
>>738294618Ask? Ask what?
>>738315161>Nobody thinks Kojima's writing is conventionally good, not even the glazers.The other day I was in a thread about video game writing and some retard brought up mgs as an example of good writing. When I disagreed he was insistent that I just "didn't get it" and was "taking it too seriously". So no, there definitely are Kojima dickriders that will claim mgs has good writing
>>738315161I like the guy because of his idiosyncrasies. He's one of the few writers in the industry who will actually engage with politics, he's clearly well read and relatively smart and he doesn't take himself too seriously. And more importantly, he's clearly not trying to write "conventionally", he's talked about being inspired by Pynchon, so he's obviously trying to juggle high brow and low brow elements and is aware that they clash. Of course he isn't nearly as good a writer as Pynchon, so his stuff feels more like Neal Stephenson, with all the gratuitous info dumps about tangentially related trivia.I will say, however, that he also seems to be at that stage in his career where he seems to be deliberately hamming up his writing quirks that probably started off as unintentional, because he figures people consider them his trademarks.

>>738316557There ARE bits and pieces that of Kojimbo that I like. V had the concept of genocide via language, which is quietly brilliant when you think about it and I haven't found anything like it in books or film before
>>738317708Try the movie Pontypool, its a zombie movie where the virus spreads through language.
>>738316558>I will say, however, that he also seems to be at that stageTbh I think his writing is not as good as it was 20 years ago. His newer games have very interesting concepts and I tend to enjoy the gameplay but the writing is just ok.
>>738301839My problem with him isn't the writing, it's the fucking directing. I'm never gonna play MGSV again purely because of how much of my life I've already lost to that one same fucking helicopter door opening cutscene in front of literally every god damned mission and deployment.
>>738317830lmao seems batshit, thanks for the rec anon.
>>738297748>europoor arriving in america to visit friends>TSA>normal border questions>gets to where'd you meet your friends>oh online I play games with them>oh yeah what game?>oh uh Monster Hunter>Which one? Word, Rise or Wilds?>took me a second to reply back after being dumbfounded that TSA agents play games and arent just NPCs that process passports
>>738318047Its actually a really nice movie.There is also a simillar movie about a language virus called Hot Skull but this one i never watched.
>>738317708Did skullface want constant broader war? At least liquid explicitly wanted that, but that seems like the logical consequence of killing of major languages. Look at shit like africa where there is a different langauge every 3 feet. It contributes to constant inter tribal warfare. Instead of dooming a few languages to die in a generation or two, Skullface's plan seems to just doom the world to broader identity suffering over a longer period of time as small languages fsnuff each other out but on a smaller scale and more often.
>>738308259Love you anon
>>738293535method?
>>738293476>>738293535>>738293648Part of it is snakes role as protagonist, he needs to re-affirm to ensure the audience understands. It's a verbal form of that Owl from Zelda meme.>>738293708The other part is that Snake is EXTREMELY autistic and has 0 sarcasm in his entire body, and this is a coping method by which autistic people communicate with normies while seeming engaged and normal themselves.People like talking about themselves. Prompting like this makes them feel good.
What else are you supposed to do if you have nothing to add to what somebody is saying, just talk about yourself for no reason?
>>738318483I mean, it's what they're doing.
>>738293476This looks like dialogue written by Bendis

>>738319702Man modern capeshit is so garbage.
>>738293476basically Al Pacino's character in The Irishman
>>738320380Whenever people start to talk about how great and superior manga is... I mean, i don't disagree. That's not a smart or controversial statement. Modern comics are so shitty that this comparison is unfair. But you could still find very good cape comics in the 90s
>Cheer up anon, we have a better lead>This contains the list of all the Janitors>The sharty hack was coded to destroy only the information about the Janitors' identities>Which means there's a parameter here that defines what that information is*4CHAN CREDITS ROLL*>Snake, are you there? It's me>Did you find the Janitors list?>Of course, it contains the wages of 12 Janitors>Where are they?>...Well, we were right about them eating hotpockets, but.... they've not been getting paid, all 12 of them>Since when?>...For over 20 years...>What the hell!??
>>73832103590s cape comics?
>>738299002Hmm...
>>738321035Yeah that's why I said modern
>>738321035As a non comic reader, I'm willing to believe this manga vs comic comparison only takes into account surface level capeshit and that basically marvel and dc are holding back the comic industry.
>>738313606OC? What's he doing here?

>You like vidya butts, don't you?
>>738298949This type of answering?
>>738294691Dougie Jones my balls
>>738319702Slap spurdos on their heads and change every Bendis to Benis:DDD
>>738321992It doesn't even have to be about manga. Capeshit comics have been sucking ass in general for 2 decades if not more. Most of the fans moved away to other types of comics.
>>738296269no you are the fucking
>>738321992>and that basically marvel and dc are holding back the comic industryBasically yeah, thanks to their enormous success back in the day 'comic book' has become pretty much synonymous with superheroes and that genre has been deep in the gutter for a long time now. There are smaller publishers putting out better material in other genres but virtually all of that is obscure and out of sight of the mainstream (with the notable exception of 2000AD with Judge Dredd, which actually released a new issue today).Also some of the pastel horse show comics were really enjoyable.
>>738321276You said modern comics?
>>738293476>how I talk to normgroid coworkers
>>738321992>only takes into account surface level capeshitYes but I would say that even the less popular ones suck. People now can't write and do good art
>>738297748videogames?
>>738293476It's kind of crazy that mimicking Snake is actually an effective way to get people to enjoy talking with you.
>>738297045same... i have tried to be interesting and funny, but i think it usually has the opposite effect, so instead i chose to be quiet and say as little as possible, i am almost a husk of a person, but i like them and want to be liked by who i consider my friends... but God... i live in fear that they will just forget about me, many times they have, i feel like a ghost even though i have ALWAYS been there too... i just feel like i am no ones friend, like they are hanging out with me out pure pity... the worst part is that i am trying, i trying so hard, but sometimes i have the urge to let go and go back to that solitary life... i dont like it, not that i have a taste of what friendship is like, but i am scared, scared of being dropped aside and forgotten...
>>738323817It makes the person think you're interested in whatever they are talking about. A person with a hobby/interest would love to keep on talking about it if they think the other person wants to know more about it
>>738299002When conversations come to a close...
>>738297045>>738324015The more you try to do things right the more you will want to push away from talking.People who talk a lot speak their mind, rather the interest is kept in the way you intonate or set a story, and that can only be done genuinely if you care about what you talk about. That's why they always seem to have interesting stories.Only about 1/20 people will be passionate about something, the rest are all bots. If you struggle to bring up topics, just blurt what you find amusing that week, you can recycle the same topic with others and even recount something about those to each other. If you find one of those 1/20 they will do their part to keep the conversation going out of consideration for you, because empathy is that rare.

>Snake, did you know your little friend, Dr Emmerich, is a tranny janny? I was monitoring his activity on his computer -- and noticed he's a moderator for 4chan's anime board. Do you know what that means, dear brother? He spends every single waking moment of his life, sifting through garbage posts made by schizophrenics, trying to keep "order" on a dying 20 year old website -- all for a false sense of superiority over his fellow loser "friends". You want to know what's the best part about all of this? He does it all for free!
>>738321107lol

>>738325568He was the first to do it.
>>738293589People?
>>738293781Whenever I get responses like these I instantly feel like the other side of the convo either is completely disinterested in what I say or the whole acquitance/friendship is just a hoax.I am somehow overly conscious of such behavior.
>>738294978Questions?
>>738329709Some of those come off as attempts to say as little as possible in the conversation. The person can be genuinely interested in what you have to say, though, and just not have much to add.
Snake, have you heard of "The Fox and the Grapes"?
>>738330379The rapes?
>>738330275I had one friend that I made here that never spoke much and I was wondering what's up with him but he did seem to listen. Later I found out he's simply autistic, enjoys listening to me talking about my interests but was struggling to respond to me. But when it came to his own interests if I dared pry him about 2hu lore he could loredump all day.
>>738293476he would actually say "mmmm tasty".
>>738293476I prefer the Sam Porter Bridges method of saying nothing, mumbling and avoiding eye contact
>>738293476>>738293648He talks the same way as the CIA guy does in DKR, so I think it's more of a general glowie dialect.

>>738293476People keep claiming this is a Japanese thing but a few months after I started a job some 20 years ago I got told as part of my performance review that people had the impression I wasn't listening to them when I talked to them because I wasn't communicative enough and I was told to do exactly this to show that I was following what they were saying. I was told the technique was called "active listening".
