I would watch every episode I could find of them and analyze not only their actions and subconscious symbolism and commands but also the first 5 minutes of the programs before and after them and chart the commercials throughout.

I felt there must be a pattern to be had but my thesis was never completed and thankfully I entered treatment and after one month I returned to my apartment and physically threw out my harddrive to rid myself of the obsession.

By the end I was on my couch for almost 6 days straight, urinating in bottles, eating cold pizza and other delivery, smoking marijuana, and only getting up to go number 2. I would not leave the television area and could not take my eyes off it in case I missed "the last piece". My sex drive began to creep up and I began masterbating while watching the TV; essentially I was masterbating while staring into the eyes of Tucker Carlson and Alton Brown and trying to silently mouth what they were preaching.

It was odd and felt very wrong, but after 3 days I was basically masterbating to them full-on and to this day I feel flushed and almost excited when I see a man in a bowtie. I am not a homosexual, but I feel the strong emotions during this painful episode have imprinted on me and they are manifested in a strong physical response that is not necessary sexual in a mental or conscious sense. Thankfully things are much, much better and I no longer watch TV and try not to think too deeply into what I have written.

>> No.10367827 [DELETED] 

There was a period in my life about 2 years ago where I was in a deep depressive state and had an episode that led to a schizophrenia diagnosis. It was the worst period of my life and I literally live in terror of it happening again and am on 2 medications and various vitamins and supplements to stave off another occurrence.

Anyway I was basically at the lowest point in my entire life and began believing that certain songs and coincidental occurrences were directed towards me. I thought of the band Rush one day and heard "Tom Sawyer" on the radio and was convinced it was describing myself and my path.

I spiraled out of control and spent most of my money on a new amp, speakers, and very expensive gold antenna cable and steel tubing in an attempt to turn my apartment balconey into a massive relay beacon. Things were going really weird and the one friend I hadn't pushed away stopped coming over after he saw a guitar magazine with the eyes of everyone inside stabbed out.

I started understanding that my faith and lineage were intertwined with certain idiosyncracies shared by celebrities and other people on TV and popular media. I was "researching" (watching TV) and began watching Fox TV and the Food Network because I was fascinated by the bowties of Tucker Carlson and Alton Brown.

I began writing rather complex analyses of their body language and mannerisms in an attempt to elucidate the origin and meaning of Abrahamic religions with respect to the context of the first 5 minutes of the subtending programs.

Steins;Gate 8-bit looks like it belongs on a PC-88. The problem with making games look like this today is that modern tools aren't designed to achieve the dithered look, so you'd have to go through the hassle of using an old tool like Multipaint on an emulator or an actual PC-98 to achieve a result that only a small group of people would fully appreciate.

Personally, I'd like to see the opposite: a game with 80's/early 90's-style art made with modern technology. Remakes of games from that period (e.g. Ys I+II) tend to modernize the art as well.
