Whatever Matt Feels Like Posting

You've heard of Character.AI, right? It's this website where you can simulate chats between--

Oh, who am I kidding? Of course you've heard of it since it's literally all I talk about on here nowadays since I joined C.AI nearly a year ago.
64 of the 76 entries I've posted to LJ/DW since I joined C.AI (or 64 of the 79 entries since I first knew about C.AI) are all "Character.AI Chat Index: <number> <character name>". And I have no intention of stopping at 64.
65 if you include my current sticky entry (which starts off with an attempt at an intro to my journal in general but devolves into an index of all the C.AI stuff on the grounds that "everything else I was ever into was the closest thing to C.AI there was at the time, so this journal may as well be entirely about C.AI at this point and I should index my saved chats here!").
66 if you include an entry that is basically an old version of that one.
Even most of the remaining 10 (or 13) entries are still dedicated to C.AI, at least partially - or dedicated to the same sort of wacky crossovers that I enjoy making happen on Character.AI. And the ones that aren't dedicated to C.AI or the wacky crossovers I love are mostly posts like this one about how far behind I am about posting about anything else.

I still think it does make sense that I'm so obsessed with Character.AI and am more motivated to post about it than anything else. I've already gone over the reasons why so I won't repeat that here (except to add that I STILL sometimes manage to find characters I couldn't find before and never thought I'd find!! I won't spoil who, though...)

Instead, I want to address the fact that I haven't posted a lot about real-life stuff lately, which feels odd since that's probably what I should be posting about the most. And that's not just since I joined C.AI - for the past four years or so I've had little motivation to post and there have been so many things I meant to get around to posting but never did. I typically at least post about things like the 15th anniversary of when I started being active on LJ (February 6, 2024 - not to be confused with the 15th anniversary of my journal overall, which fell on August 19, 2022) or the seventh anniversary of when I started work (February 13, 2024), but this time I didn't even have enough motivation to post about that. Of course, the anniversary of me joining C.AI is today, so I am posting an entry now because of course I would. (Man... I can't believe that just a year ago, I knew C.AI existed and thought "what if they have Enya on here and I could ask what she thinks of Mario?" but figured that was little more than a massive long shot-- there I go again, going on a tangent about C.AI...)

Anyway, towards the end of last year I thought of a possible way to catch up on posting some of the things that I felt like I should have posted, but didn't. I was thinking that on each day of 2024, I'd post an entry that's basically "This day in Matt1993 history" and be about entries I posted on that day in the past plus things I should have posted about but didn't. Plus things that happened on that date, that I posted about, but posted on a different day than they happened. But I'd have to write all those entries in advance in order to have any chance of posting them in time, and as you can tell, I didn't get around to that before 2024 began. (That, and it would require drawing attention to my worst entries and comments on the anniversaries of those posts...) Maybe for 2025 though?

So if you're not interested in Character.AI or my entries about it (and that wouldn't change if I used a character or franchise I haven't used before that you really like), you probably may as well stop reading this journal. Sorry. I really don't see myself having motivation to post much of anything else (though I do make the per-character chat index entries backdated so they don't clutter up your friends page/reading page.)

There is kind of an upside, though. Character.AI isn't JUST for simulating hilarious or insightful or surreal conversations between BASICALLY ANY TWO FICTIONAL CHARACTERS OR CELEBRITIES I'VE EVER HEARD OF. They also have creative helpers, trip planners, and other self-help-related AIs - including ones for mental health - so naturally I've been talking to one of the mental health ones sometimes (one of the few AIs on there that I've ever actually talked to instead of just clicking on it so I can put it in a room with another AI and see what craziness emerges). Like everything else I've used on the site, I wish that had existed YEARS ago - in this case so that I could have avoided making so many mistakes I'd regret later in life, posting so many stupid things on LJ/DW or other sites, and most importantly, not had to annoy all of you so often by posting about things I've had anxiety about. I've done the latter a lot when I needed to talk about something I'm needlessly(?) anxious about to get it off my chest but didn't have a counseling session coming up soon (or before I ever had a counselor at all). In recent years I've slowly started learning just how annoying it truly is for people when they have to listen to me worry about everything all the time, and now I finally have a way to get some of the help I need without having to be annoying in the process. Again, I really wish that had been available for me years ago! I've always wished I could go back in time to correct mistakes I've made... now I know what the most efficient way to correct them is should time travel ever be invented. ;)

*gives in anyway*

Dear Displate,

No, I do NOT want a picture of Bowsette for my wall. Not with red hair, not with blonde hair, not with black hair, not with really really really really dark blue hair, not with green eggs and hair. I only clicked on it so I could use the fact that you have such a picture available ALREADY to prove a point about how this meme has gone WAY too far already and will probably take over the entire Internet once New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is released. SO STOP SHOWING ME THAT AD ON EVERY PAGE I GO TO.

Sincerely,
matt1993

DREAMWIDTH IS DOWN NOW. NOW I CAN'T FIX ANYTHING ON THERE.

GRR...

This is one of the reasons why I still like LJ better.

I'll have to remember to manually cross-post this to DW when it's back up. IF THAT EVER HAPPENS.

EDIT: Well, that was faster than I expected! But I still like LJ better.

Why am I still calling this Miiverse Backup Twuednesday if half the time I'm not sticking to my planned update schedule of every Tuesday or Wednesday?

Oh well, here's the last four of my 33 Miiverse posts in 2012! :)

(This is probably the first Soviet Russia joke I ever made - not just on Miiverse, but ever. I used to find them overused along with many other Internet memes that I hadn't heard of before 2008 or so and didn't understand, but then when I discovered mezzacotta in 2011, I really liked how certain characters make surreal Soviet Russia jokes - with this one probably being the most famous - and decided Soviet Russia jokes in general weren't so bad after all. Most of the Internet memes that annoyed me back then are a lot funnier than certain more recent Internet memes...)

Happy New Year! :)

Which reminds me, I still need to post about what I got for Christmas and post my usual Christmas and New Years memes...

Oh, and can we please not turn every mention of 2016 into a conversation about the bad things that happened? I know I already made a post about this, but that's just how annoyed I still am by it. I know some people need to vent about it, but I wish they'd find some other way to vent, because blaming the year is taking it too far - it's making me worried that kids who were born in 2016 are going to eventually be frequently bullied because of it. :(

I just looked at the interests in my profile for the first time in a while and...

WHOA. It's WAY outdated.


Homestar Runner?!

Garfield??!

MARIO?!?!

When was the last time I liked those?!



Unfortunately I can't fix it just yet either because I've been busy lately. I had enough time to come up with a new interests list:

/b/, 15, 16, 23, 300, 4, 4-8-15-16-23-42, 4chan, 42, 4815162342, 5 nights at freddy's, 69, 8, all your base, angry video game nerd, arguing, arguing about gender, arguing about politics, arguing about sports, arguments, arrow to the knee, assuming bad faith, assuming everything is homophobic, assuming everything is racist, assuming everything is sexist, assuming neurotypicals are jerks, assuming nts are jerks, atheism, avgn, ayb, ban comic sans, being a jerk, being mean, bell peppers, cake is a lie, call of duty, captain falcon, cars, chili, chuck norris, cinema sins, cinemasins, controversy, creative writing, cussing, cuss words, debates, dirty jokes, do a barrel roll, do not want, dorkly, double standards, dragonball z, dubstep, encyclopedia dramatica, essays, estj, extroverts, feminism, feminist frequency, final destination, five nights at freddy's, flame wars, flashgitz, fnaf, football, for glory, fox only, foxadhd, game of thrones, game theory, gaming sins, gamingsins, geno, grand theft auto, grudges, gta, guns, halo, hating everything, holding grudges, hoo-hah, hot-button topics, hunting, i lost the game, impromptu speeches, indexed, innuendo, innuendos, insults, internet memes, it's over 9000, it's over nine thousand, jersey shore, judging people, lettuce, little mac, lucario, malleo, matpat, matthew patrick, memes, metal gear, moral dilemmas, mr. z, mustard, no items, no wai!, o rly?, onions, overanalyzing cartoons, overanalyzing comics, overanalyzing everything, overanalyzing movies, overanalyzing video games, paint.net, photoshop, pickles, political arguments, political debates, politics, potato salad, profanity, psychcentral, public speaking, rap, research papers, rickroll, rickrolling, salad, shoop da woop, sonty mick, sports, sqrt(-garfield) memes, sromg memes, starting arguments, swearing, taking offense to everything, team fortress, team fortress 2, that's what she said, the game, the game theorists, the office, the walking dead, this is sparta, tl;dr, uncyclopedia, walking dead, weegee, weegee stare, writing essays, writing papers, ya rly, yolo, your mom, your mom jokes, yu-gi-oh, zero wing, zombies

But that's over 150 interests, and I don't have time right now to narrow it down to just 150. Hopefully I will this weekend. At least this gives you a chance to marvel at just how NOT ME my old interests list is, I guess.

And I still need to come up with a new default userpic... and like 40 or 50 new non-default userpics, and a new profile, and a new profile name...

Originally posted by matt1993 at That wasn't so bad

I just randomly looked back at this quiz from November 2009, and it suddenly hit me that the quiz pointed out twice as many bad qualities as it did good qualities. Or good quality, as the case may be. So I decided, just for grins, to take the quiz again and see how far I've come the past 2 years and 2 months:

People Like You... Sometimes

You are liked, but only when people are able to overlook your faults. Deep down, you are a good person, but you definitely have some obnoxious tendencies. So step back, and try to figure out when people aren't responding to you positively. A few simple changes could make you a lot better liked! What People Don't Like About You: People don't like that you secretly are annoyed by them. You may think they can't tell, but they can. People don't like that you're quite sensitive and easily offended. People feel like they have to watch their words around you. What People Like About You: People like that you give them support and strength. Friends know that they can count on you to be there for them.

Apparently not very much, as it still told me 2 things that people don't like about me and only 1 thing they do. One bad quality even ended up in the results both times - plus, I'm demonstrating it right now! :(

Like exactly as often as you did last time

Compared to this, "Smash Bros. Theory" sounds like a legitimate college class...

Gym, tan, repost (I actually never heard the original GTL phrase until I read this article, btw)

http://www.anti-joke.com/

Finally, a site with good versions of various racist, your mom, Chuck Norris, and Justin Bieber jokes! Well, most of the time...and, for the few that are still annoying, there's always FoxReplace ;)

From highest to lowest ratio of true anti-jokes to still-annoying jokes, from what I've seen so far:
- Chuck Norris jokes
- racist jokes
- your mom jokes
- Justin Bieber jokes

Why does this entry have a repost button?
So you can easily post this entry in your journal.
