How did you find this site?
I guess I found this website on sushi girl, though I wouldn't be able to point the exact post that led me here (I have dozens of Firefox tabs that I keep for later reading).
What do you spend most of your time doing, tell us about it! Do you have any specific goals or aspirations related to that activity?
The majority of my time is spent browsing image boards, tweaking my linux desktop, and self-learning new stuff.
If you had to summarise yourself in 1-2 short sentences, what would you say?
I am a computer enthusiast with an interest in formal languages and epistemology. I also enjoy mangas and iceberg charts.
What's your ultimate guilty pleasure, whether it's a book, TV show, game/series, or website?
All my hobbies are guilty pleasures. The ultimate one, I suppose, would be continuing discussions with those who have no desire to argue.

Intentionally refreshing 4chan to find good forum ads

What do you spend most of your time doing, tell us about it! Do you have any specific goals or aspirations related to that activity?
Trying to break bad habits, although my obsession over breaking them is itself a bad habit . Otherwise, some coding, reading, working out (arms only really), and sometimes sailing. I don't have goals unfortunately but hopefully I find something I'm passionate about.

Cosmic brownies and social media

--- How did you find this site?
I accidentally stumbled upon the Pleroma instance, saw it had a Clannad theme, saw there was a forum under the same people, and immediately joined at the thought of a key-themed forum that could potentially be similar to the kazamatsuri forums

--- What do you spend your time doing?
I love otaku culture, Linux, software, otaku culture, and otaku culture.
I also spend a lot of my time avoiding social media and video games in order to minimize distractions only to spend all of my remaining time doing nothing but listening to music and waiting for the time to go by. Cool stuff.
e-readers and flip phones are cool

--- Summarise yourself
I don't know how I would describe myself. In the past, I used to say "I try to be as transparent as possible" so that people knew that I often speak in a somewhat autistic manner purposefully, but now I feel like that doesn't accurately depict me, so I don't have any good one-liners to describe myself. I should give that some thought.

--- Guilty pleasure
Edgy 2000s anime, incest, Masamune-kun no Revenge s1, Sword art Online (aincrad),

I found it, like most people, through a 4chan ad. I'm not all that active, but I find this place rather chill, and still like being here. Let's just enjoy this place while it's quiet...

I am another 4chan transplant.

Most of my time I would call productive is my hobby time. Painting, chainmaille, building models, writing rules or fiction, reading books, so on. My current aspiration is assembling my own ruleset for a tabletop RPG. Please send me recommendations for new, strange, or exotic rulesets.

As a summary I am a married man who loves the Lord. I spend my time at work tending to the chemical coating process at a glass factory, and my time at play with friends, family, and all types of tabletop games.

Guilty pleasure? YouTube.... /tg/..... Too much of it. Oh, and craft rootbeer from the local cider mill.

Much like the others, I came to know this site from the ad in the underwater jousting forum.

Honestly I feel like I waste too much of my time online be it just browsing or reading random manga instead of dong something productive. I've been slowly cutting it and seems to be making progress though.

If you had to summarise yourself in 1-2 short sentences, what would you say?

I'm never much of a social person online and rarely ever post anything. That's not to say I'm very social irl, but I believe I'm slightly better there than online.

Lurking, as can be seen this is my first post despite making the account ₆ months ago. Maybe I'll start to post every once in a while from now on, I usually type up something and then end up deleting the whole thing lol. Gacha games would be another thing I would say is a guilty pleasure of mine. I know I shouldn't spend so much time on them yet I end up playing them, I've been playing less of them because of real life stuff and only stuck with the ones that don't waste too much time so I'd say it isn't so bad now.

Apologies about the rollback, I made a daft mistake and could only roll it back. Thank you for rejoining agoraoptera
I'll evaluate my stuff and make plans to avoid stupid things like that again

Murderbunny
Unfortunate, but alas! IT problems will always haunt us.
Basic premise is a fantasy world with North and South countries. Demons and Monsters plague the lands, which have been abandoned by the Gods. North is happy fun sunshine land because they have a few divine relics left behind that empowers Heroes, and Heroes are bullshit who break the laws of physics all over the place. South kingdom is misery suffering Mordor land because they don't have divine help. However, the South has a limited capacity to tame the evil beasties and use them in all fashions, eg ogres as pack mules, and is sort of allied with a couple of Archdemons, so the South is just barely holding its own against the North.
MC is the princess of the South. Shortly after the queen's passing, her father the Kyriarch declares her wanted for treason, and she's escaping with her soldiers and trying to figure out what's going on, because her dad's seemingly gone mad.

Lumeinshin
No worries! It was just an odd moment where I was questioning my sanity until I noticed the announcement haha. All good!

agoraoptera
That sounds pretty cool actually. Having the MC be from the nasty place was a good move I think because it opens up a bunch of interesting scenarios. Do you have plans for the publishing?

Murderbunny
Thanks! Yeah, I thought it might be a nice perspective to play with.
No plans for publishing whatsoever. I think if I worried about that, I'd be too consumed by fears of making the story 'nice' and 'suitable' for mass appeal or commercial viability. Instead, I want to finish the novel for myself. If publication ever comes into play, then so be it. But I'm writing it firstly and foremost for myself. A personal accomplishment. And then I'll force ask some of my friends to read it.

What kinda games do you play btw?

Murderbunny
Hahaha nice. I've never been able to write smut myself, for various reasons.

I'd be honoured to show you my writing, but I'm only about a third through the full story. Maybe I'll polish up a 'complete' section and post it here in the near future, if that's not too self-promotey.

I've never played Dragon's Dogma myself, though I heard good things about it. I was much more into big open world games when I was younger, but I think I lack the energy for it these days. Good times.

Murderbunny
Aye, finishing something is a milestone worth remembering. I've written a lot of rubbish, but very few of it is finished. Usually end up writing myself into a corner somehow. But this time, this time for sure. I'm committed to finishing this one. I've been working on it for about 9 months now.

I see, I probably won't get around to it in the near-future, but I'll keep DD in mind. At present I'm on a gacha game (yes, gacha bad) called Punishing: Gray Raven. Also recently picked up Remnant 2, just beat the last boss a couple days back. But I'm limiting my overall gaming time, just because it eats into my writing time. Ain't enough hours in the day for the stuff I want to do. Work is a pain.
