The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[Dazed and Brutal]

Yea, i wasn't lurking at all in my absence. I've been mostly using discord these days because i'm too dense for long-form type posting communities.

I didn't really post on this forum for my first couple years after joining because it seemed like there was so much drama and bullshit. It would be legitimately an interesting story if it was all due to the machinations of a single manipulative sociopath exerting feminine power over a handful of e-dominant men who in turn enforced social order over the rest, some Chinese dynastic-tier shit.

i'll take that as a compliment, i have that guy added and his taste is pretty good. when i first joined RYM 13 years ago chaosmonger and i had uncannily similar tastes, but we've diverged some since then (although he's still number 1 on my compatability list).

Not really a compliment or an insult, just legitimate confusion since you guys write in the same way and seemed to have vaguely similar taste.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

im going to admit, outside of myself ... HBB was one of the only ones who always knew he wasn't who he said he was, but i thought recently he was kind of folding and becoming an omni nutrider.

"Jenn" lmfao

When? The last thing I remember doing involving him was when he and Manic Ferocity made that thread about that blogpost by Helm, and I attacked both of them for it. Unless you're talking about Talos, but no matter what he is I will appreciate his presence.

EDIT: Oh and I guess it was in part Omni's pressuring that made me finally give Dark Souls a shot, but whatevs

@Dazed and Brutal grossss, you're the reason forums are dying. kill social media kill discord, bring back forums and MSN

i never put much stock in shit omni said btw, it was obvious she was a good bullshitter (she has boasted about this many times on here) and i don't feel 'duped' or 'an idiot' about most of this stuff. the only two instances where i feel duped are when she told me in confidence the same secret she told CiG in confidence, 'cause i genuinely thought she was being candid there (it's a bizarre thing to make up to be fair), and also if she actually is talos, 'cause man she got me big time on that one. i have to admit i'm starting to become a believer about the great talos conspiracy now though, particularly now i think about how she was consciously shifting toward HBB and said multiple times she had more similar taste to him than he thinks etc. heartbreaking stuff for HBB if true, he thought he finally found a soulmate

When HBB said "Internet friends" is a concept that will destroy you he was right. This whole thing is like one long never-ending lesson for me.

idk man, i have several long lasting internet friendships with people from metal boards, i still talk to a few people who posted here 15 years ago. i'm not sure omni is a representative example to take lessons from lol

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Well I doubt it. Other than dragging Obscure Infinity over to post with herm.

O I C WAT YOU DID THERE! Lol

 

[CiG]

Talos has been referenced so many times in this thread, where is he?

What about all those other times you thought that i was just randomly pulling stuff out of my ass(referring to him as a dude etc)? Dont feel duped there?

 

[no country for old wainds]

i'd have to go back and look tbh. maybe it'll all fall into place and you've never been wrong about anything in your entire time here

@CiG for the record the reason i'm talking about talos is that TB has shown me:
1) a PM from talos saying something quite specific
2) a FB convo with omni where TB asks omni if she remembers saying that specific thing, and omni saying 'yes i remember'.

he laid a trap and she fell in basically lol

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

...yes, you like how i hit him with the "CHECK AND MATE ... TIME TO COME CLEAN NOW" message right after?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

heartbreaking stuff for HBB if true, he thought he finally found a soulmate

I've had suspicions for a while but he's never tried contacting me via PM or anything else remotely personal, and frankly I'm only flattered if someone would create an account just for me. Even if it's conclusively proven that Talos is Omni, I will have no problems continuing to discuss music with him as if nothing happened. Everyone on the internet exists purely to entertain me, after all.

This (just look at my join date). The forum has always been full of drama, but the metal love is real.

Omni has been a poison here for a long time. Glad to see the truth at last. We are all real, right?

 

[CiG]

the only two instances where i feel duped are when she told me in confidence the same secret she told CiG in confidence, 'cause i genuinely thought she was being candid there (it's a bizarre thing to make up to be fair)

I had genuine trans friends who I gave advice that I got from "Judith" on the subject, advice that was pretty specific and seemed like it was coming from a legit source. That said, Tech discovered that Omni dated a trans person years ago, so that would explain the familiarity with the subject I guess.

i never put much stock in shit omni said btw, it was obvious she was a good bullshitter (she has boasted about this many times on here) and i don't feel 'duped' or 'an idiot' about most of this stuff.

The main thing that pissed me off was that "she" smeared me as a doxer to Tech. Not sure what kind of absolute clown, or brazen sociopath, would do that knowing I could debunk it with a screencapture.

I mean fair enough, if something lasts 15 years that's worth something. It's still a good rule of thumb to not fall so hard for friends online.

Yeah I've seen all of this stuff, have to say it's pretty fucking convincing and for the longest time I disagreed about Talos being similar to Omni, but once you've seen things you can't unsee them haha. #TrapsettingBarbarity

yeah, i knew he was lying about everything and still ha no problem with all that bullshit and idndt give a fuck what he was. But once you start not only talking serious shit behind my back but doxxing my personal info .... then it's fucking on. He literally googled imaged my parents house and sent it to CIG and asked him to post it on here

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

TB on some deep throat level call-out (no pun intended)

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

btw he told me earier today that CIG was lying and he was the one who searched and found a pic of the house and showed him. I sent his stupid ass the screenshots and he told me that 100% CIG has doctored those pics and that hes going to prove it.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

The first thing that made me suspect that Talos was Omni, independent of others' accusations and our unusually-similar tastes, was that he was apparently a fan of Gene Wolfe, who tends to be particularly popular in the Dark Souls fandom.

oh probably. i'm pretty stereotypically male when it comes to friendships i guess, i mostly just chat with people about shared interests and funny shit, it rarely gets personal or deep or w/e. i've had a few personal chats over the years including with people from here, but i'm not usually the one who steers the convo in that direction, it just isn't a natural tendency of mine. i have fallen hard for girls online though, with mixed results lol. then again i think that has mixed results offline as well--even in person it's hard to truly know someone if they don't want you to, although obviously it's harder to hide certain things in person.

Ive made friends online that im pretty damn sure arent sociopaths, so I can attest to the idea of actually making friends online. I have always been kind of dubious here, and im not sure if this recent situation will change that just yet. I dont want to get doxxed so I might just stfu now.

let me ask you something. Would you not be able to tell my posts or CIG's posts form others? I can literally without any names attached here know what post is from who, that's what i mean when i refer to voices. Ive been talking to omni for years now, and im telling you they have the exact same voice.

you dont strike me as someone who would give anyone a reason to ever want to dox you. But then again, ive seen omni doxxing people he didnt even know .. so who knows
