Jace, Extat Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 No, not in a sexual way. Unless you feel compelled to share that, in which case I'll try not to judge. This is a thread to celebrate those odd little things that provide an immense amount of satisfaction. I'll go first of course. I LOVE mockeries of justice, particularly the dramatization of realish events. I totally enjoy a bunch of folks condemning someone in a back alley. Bonus points if they have faux justifications and make believe legal standing for the murder. Mafia hits and the like are also fun. I think I'm just a sadist and enjoy watching the character realize they're about to be executed and there's no fighting back, just begging and groveling. Another weird one is the sound a sniper rifle makes when they cycle a round. I have no real interest in guns outside of historical relevance and video games, but whether it's a movie or game that *cling-ting* sound sends a thrill of excitement through me every time. I also enjoy fire. I don't think I'm a pyromaniac, I've never really been one who played with matches or anything. But I can sit and watch a fire for a really long time, and I have some kind of undiagnosed Attention Disorder regarding everything else in my life. I can't play a video game without a movie or podcast or audiobook playing or else I'll get bored and restless. And I'll also have a physical book or the internet open in addition to these two things for transition between matches or respawn times or whatever. But pop me in front of a fire and Jace will shut the fuck down and just watch. What have we got folks? Tell me your sekrets!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mance Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I like being able to make exact change, but I don't think I've ever had only the exact right amount. What always freaks me out is when the total on my cart full of groceries comes out to an even dollar amount. And no amount of logic, math, or statistics will make that Truman Show/glitch in the Matrix feeling go away. "That will be $186 dollars, sir" *shivers* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tears of Lys Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 No guns for me. What turns me on is that "pfft, swoosh, ZING" of an arrow being swiftly loosed upon its target. It must have come from watching old Robin Hood movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember this game called Beavis the Beaver and the two songs from it that I can place were awful midi renditions of the Lemonheads "of I could talk I'd tell you" and Foofighters "big me". Damn that was a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Arryn Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Having my head rubbed. Like cocaine on heroin for me. I’m pretty picky sexually, but I’ll let anyone rub my head if they do it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S John Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Nothing strange about fire doing it for you, I think it does it for most people. When I last moved having a fireplace was just below having the appropriate number of bedrooms and appliances on the priority list, and I live in Texas. We use it even more often than I thought we would. I love sleeping in front of it, reading next to it, drinking whisky next to it, and just plain old burning shit in there in general. Finally can make proper use of all the junk mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s absolutely huge, though...if you look at my pic you’ll think it’s mostly hair, everyone does, but it’s mostly head. Which is why I can never wear hats, because it becomes suddenly apparent that I am basically deformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally can make proper use of all the junk mail. Yep, one of my very favorite things to do - sit by the fire in the back yard (I live in North Dakota, so...weather permitting). Our family room fire place is gas-burning (I know, I know, giving up the real thing there for convenience). I like the fireplace in our house, especially in the dead of winter, but I love the backyard fire. The rest of the family has a pretty short attention span for it but you'll often find me still hanging out by the fire (probably enjoying an adult beverage or three) long after they've given up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
