Yo
 
Hi there! I'm Sybil Ant, newest member of these forums. I've been lurking for a while and honestly it's a bit depressing to see how inactive the forums have become; I've probably left joining a bit late but ah well.

I love Oddworld, found out about the series after Oddworld shut down and I've played all the console games. My favourite is probably SW or MO, because I prefer those styles of game to platformers. (Burn the non-purist!)

Beyond gaming, I'm a musician, a radical feminist, I love militant politics, writing, films and so-on-and-so-forth. Don't really know what else to say so I guess that's it for me really. See ya round, schmuks!

e: and omfg I've put this in the wrong sub-forum. Welp, time to go hang myself.

Varrok 10-30-2016 09:49 AM

Hello, and welcome : ) Don't hang yourself!

I agree that the forums are in the less active period lately (mostly because of the lack of news from Oddworld Inhabitants), you can join our semi-official Discord channel, though! It's definitely more active than the forums atm. There's a #general_chat room there where you can talk about Oddworld or argue over controversial opinions, as you seem to have some [Munch's Oddysee, radical feminism].

It's like a shoutbox, basically.

Welcome to OWF, may you have a pleasant permanence in the forum!

Manco 10-30-2016 10:22 AM

Hello,

Don’t join Discord, it’ll only make the forums deader.

Sybil Ant 10-30-2016 11:03 AM

Thanks all, I totally don't feel like a berk now, you're all grand! :)

I dunno about joining Discord, maybe I'll pop in and say hi at some point, but as Manco said, chats tend to contribute to the death of forums, imho!

Hello.

Nepsotic 10-30-2016 02:02 PM

How can a radical feminist love FILMS?! That's totally male dominated.

E: Did any of you guys notice how Oddworld has NO female characters!?

RoryF 10-30-2016 02:31 PM

Did any of you guys notice how Nepsotic is totally male dominated?

Sybil Ant 10-30-2016 02:39 PM

I did, I have a six sense for this sort of thing because, I feast on the tears of men and the decay of western patriarchy.

RoryF 10-30-2016 02:45 PM

That's a crappy feast, surely you'd want something manly instead like a medium rare steak with extra manly fries on the side?

Nepsotic 10-30-2016 02:45 PM

The only males who dominate me are dragons.

Varrok 10-30-2016 03:31 PM

Nepsotic cries a lot. Have fun feasting!

I feel like the masculine stereotype of meaty foods is so ironic, nevertheless, medium rare steak is lifeeeee.

Nepsotic's tears are gonna go right to my thighs. :(

OddMan, your display picture tells me you'd rather have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

Nepsotic 10-30-2016 08:21 PM

Are you saying Rory is from Compton?

They're gonna be inbetween your thighs bby

Welcome to OWF, enjoy your stay and don't let it destroy too much of your hope for humanity.

Nep is sort of the angry chihuahua of the forums. He talks big but he's harmless. You know I love you Nep bby

As for Discord, I have to say chatboxes are better than forums for just chitchatting and/or shitposting, so drop in sometime.

Nepsotic 10-31-2016 01:27 AM

I actually gave her posrep for not getting triggered.

Shade667 10-31-2016 01:45 AM

Sup.

She's the feminist counterpart of the brewmaster.

They’re fine for serving a casual chat for a small group as part of a larger community, but when the community is already small they just dry up the actual forum.

Sybil Ant 10-31-2016 10:43 AM

I've actually eaten rare steak, it was corn-fed beef from the butchers; pretty nice but I did worry about worms for about two weeks after.

If people prefer the Discord (they do) then maybe it's time the forum dried up.

I prefer the Discord for socializing, but actual discussion works best on a forum since there can be multiple threads going on at once. There's not much to talk about right now but that doesn't mean things won't perk up eventually. Never mind the fact that Oddworld is a cult classic series at best. It's unlikely it'll ever have (or need) the massive fanbase that more mainstream games have.

Varrok 10-31-2016 12:47 PM

Also, we had Oddchat, and it didn't stop forum activity.

Nepsotic 10-31-2016 12:58 PM

That's because it was terrible and everybody hated Java.

Nah, rare beef isn’t dangerous at all, as long as the outside is cooked properly.

You go first then.

That's absolutely true.

But we used it anyway, from time to time. As far as I remember, it didn't hurt the forums in any way, maybe even strenghtened us by a tiny bit as a community.

Ironic, but correct. Also medium rare steak is #thechoice , rare is pretty average but at least it's not well done.
