This place was my first rhythm game forum (i guess 2nd if you count lurking the Frets on Fire wikidot in the early 00's) and that quote holds true to the moment i first set foot in a rhythm game forum, or at least i believed it did. from when i was young, i remember questioning myself on almost everything i posted. like some kind of anxiety-driven demagoguery machine (demagoguery is actually a word trust me i just googled, fuck yeah earth), I'd throw away every natural instinct or better natured expression I was capable of because I was afraid of the permanency of my actions, I wanted my posts to be liked, to stay liked, to be undisputed. basically just wanted to feel like i'd found actual people who could do what i couldn't and actually respected what i had to offer. I wanted to fit in and i wanted to get good, I wanted to prove to others I could improve at this game almost as much as I wasn't aware that I was the only person who doubted I could.

    Worlds like this can often glamorize perfection and other ideals, but after some time coming to terms with humanity i've realised no single body gives nearly as many fucks about what you do as much as you do, they're more genuinely likely to be interested in whose doing it rather than what is being done. people care about people, they rarely truly give a fuck about differences, those differences just give us something to talk about.

    If we get caught up on sets people apart, we'll forget why we're all here in the first place, the mutual interest

        Jokes are about timing and context. If you are communicating exclusively through "jokes" then you are likely bastardizing what once were rightful jokes for the sake of feeling as part of a social circle. Additionally the average rhythm gamer is more likely to score higher on the autism spectrum which in turn is characterized by an exquisite sense of humor.

        Now you can savor the constant flux of amazing jokes made within the FFR forums and, who knows, maybe you might be able to make a good joke yourself!

          Marvelous, isn't it? Unless you are playing Guitar Hero or similar games that is, those guys are only good at squeezing underhanded jokes that tap into questionable territory.

          That too, but sometimes ironically.

          It's natural to be wary when learning the customs of a new community, so it's important to be prepared! Just post often enough to ensure it would be overwhelming to scrutinize your post history for the occasional blunders. Alternatively make your posts long enough so that the average user won't read.

            Can lowkey relate to this-
            I don't post online nor talk in chatrooms nor in real life too much and it's because of what you said. I find it incredibly hard to come up with words to say, even if I fully recognize the implicit ideas in the context of the conversation. It isn't quite caused by autism because some of the most prolific posters here are on the spectrum and know how to hash out well-thought posts on the daily.

            Some more consequences of caring too much about what others think include: taking too long to come up with a username -- taking too long to come up with an avatar -- not really feeling like you have an identity out of fear that they'll criticize you if you express that identity

                    Great way to put it if you ask me. reddit (and other social media sites in general) has terrible user interfaces for thoughtful discussion. Don't even get me started on any discussion that is remotely political; echo chambers are really bad on those sites.

                    The OP is also vague about what a serious post is. If a post has more than a few sentences, does that automatically mean it is very serious? I might as well just call this a serious essay and submit it then

                      Because the suggestive quantal subliminities that were originally intended by our alien overlords to inspire us and guide us onward became convoluted and the spell became too powerful. We now live in a state of spiritual retardation, since ironically, some of the subliminalities actually make us think that they are not real and taboo to think or communicate about. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.

                            We no longer make jokes because Moogy beat us years ago

                              To answer your question: We aren't very funny people around here. We're more or less sarcastic assholes from all corners of the world.
