The ^> v Game!

^ I'm not too much of a fan of Nomura's style, but I do think asymmetry in character design can be interesting as long as it isn't too complicated or distracting.
>

On the subject of artists who have done character design, though, I really like Yoshitaka Amano and Soraya Saga (of course).
v Have a favorite character designer or one who has influenced you the most?

^ It's kind of hard for me to narrow it down to one so in terms of favourites it's Daisuke Ishiwatari and Akihiko Yoshida. I have undoubtedly been influenced by Nomura's later works though, and I feel kind of awkward admitting it. He actually has a lot of cool ideas.
<

Frustrated that I've more or less resigned myself to never being part of game design
V Tried breaking an old habit?

^ Soooo many habits. The only one I had any success with was my pack-a-day chewing gum habit, and I still relapsed a few times.
>

Once quit caffeine for more than a year, but then I discovered espresso. =_=
v Have an acquired taste for something you used to dislike?

^ I used to hate fish as a kid. And onions. And pretty much anything delicious. (I got better)
<

Been practicing one vegetarian dish every other week! Soon there will be more 8D
V Keep a dream journal?

^ I did for a few years back in college, and sporadically afterward.
>

For a while I had a huge file with every dream I could remember from my entire life in more or less chronological order, but it was on my old computer that won't start up anymore. :<

I could probably still pry it off the hard drive, but I haven't had the motivation to do so (and I'd have to update it with about 8 years' worth of dreams from my paper journals).
v Ever lose access to something you wanted to keep?

^ I think everyone has at least once. Of course, none of it was stuff that was really all that important, because I've moved on and am not affected by its loss. It was mostly stuff I could get again in one way or the other anyway.

>

Most of the stuff I get rid of is more personal stuff that would be best to not see again anyway. Stuff from old relationships and friendships that went sour.

v What is your favorite dessert?

^ Plain dark chocolate, like 70-85%, but I'm not that particular. I'll also eat chocolate chips out of a bag because I have no dignity.
>

I like chocolate like I like my coffee, which is BLACKER THAN THE VOID OF ETERNAL DARKNESS.
v Coffee, tea, or something else?

^ green tea, hot caffeinated drinks have been giving me a lot of stomach aches as of recent
>

green tea is really soothing my throat
v can you drink your tea hot or do you have to wait a bit for it to cool down? (seriously tho, i've seen people drink tea right as it gets out of the kettle and im like how)

^ Can't drink my tea anything. I really dislike tea.

>

I prefer coffee. Particularly if it only has a dash of coffee and is mostly milk and chocolate. Yeah, I'm not one for either strong or subtle flavors.

v Do you go to Starbucks?

^ Not usually, 'cause it's kind of expensive and I'm not particularly a fan of their coffee, but sometimes I do if I'm traveling or meeting someone there, or if I need to steal some wi-fi. ;

3c
>

These days I mostly just make my own hot bean water at home.
v For a special occasion, would you rather dine out or cook something from scratch?

^ Neither, since dining out is expensive and cooking is something I despise to do.
> I do generally bake some homemade desserts of some kind, though.
V Do you ever bake?

^ Occasionally!  I baked peanut butter cookies last night.
> Worked at a grocery store bakery for about 6 months.
v Do you enjoy grocery shopping or is it just a chore?

^ I despise it. >( I can't stand it. Ugh!
> I have never gone to a store bakery before. o-o
V Favorite food at a bakery?

^ Bagels!!
> Gets bagels from the discount bakery shelf where they sell the day-old baked goods for $1.99 a half dozen and hoards them in the freezer.  Then I have bagels with peanut butter for breakfast every day.
v Favorite thing to put on bagels/bread/other bread-type things?

^ Butter, like any healthy individual would say. >.>
> However, strawberry cream cheese is pretty good....
V Do you like strawberry flavors?

^ I do!
> Kind of want to try making strawberry rhubarb pie because we have a giant rhubarb growing in the back yard. I've never made it before, tho.
v Try anything new recently?

^ Yes. I tried this really weird grainy stuff that I don't remember what it was called and it was gross...
> I thought I'd hate the whole pears with mayo and cheese--but I love it!
V Would you be willing to try pears with mayo and cheese?

^ That sounds intriguing enough that I would have to try it at least once.
> I used to make sandwiches with pears or apples, mustard, hot sauce, and cheese on cinnamon raisin toast, so I really have no reason to knock anything before I try it. XD
v Like spicy food?

^  Nnoooooo....I have heartburn.  Can't handle it, yo.
>  Heartburn is worse in a corset...I want to dress up as Harley Quinn again, this year!
V  Have Halloween costume plans, yet????

^ It's never too early to start thinking about Halloween. :3
> I guess I should dress up as a necromancer 'cause I just necromanced this thread
v What character class/type would you be in an RPG?
