I hung out with stoners and junkies and freaks in high school, so they largely didn't do much in the way of bullying, although one girl who I had a huge crush on definitely killed my self-esteem for the majority of my high school life. One guy did try to set me on fire though. He was a jerk.

Golden Goat posted:I've been playing Arcade games and i'm finding some cool poo poo: It's really sad that so many of the most visually striking and fundamentally fun beat-em-ups are ruined by being arcade exclusives and thus tuned for quarter munching rather than a fun difficulty curve. Heck, the home version of King of Dragons is more fun than the arcade one despite the huge visual and audio downgrade!

bloodychill posted:We had lockers but they were just big enough to fit a very fat raccoon into. People got into fights. I got into a fight a couple times. Nothing big, just more like wrestling until we were tired out. Physical bullying was extremely rare, mostly people were just very lovely to each other verbally if they felt inclined to bully. lol sounds good, my school was p rough so many fights, knives getting pulled etc.

Ciaphas posted:did anyone here ever get legit shoved (or do the shoving) into lockers, door closed and all Yeah, actually. I moved to the south unfortunately right before 9/11. For my skin colour, I was called sand-friend of the family consistently, had my stuff stolen, told to kill myself, was threatened with a knife, told to leave america and go back where I came from (which is Canada, I guess), had milkshakes thrown at me, etc. I'm not an easy guy to beat up (so I rarely ever was, except by this one linebacker in highschool), but drat the verbal insults can actually hurt more. A couple months ago I was walking to a CVS only for some fat guy to yell "allah-lalalalalala" out the window of his car and that's in Baltimore. It's kinda insane but that's life.

FirstAidKite posted:There was a beat em up based on the movie Hook and it was good This exemplifies my main issue with beatemups, wtf is going on? I got threatened "I will destroy you" by a football kid in HS. In front of the main office, surrounded by my friends. I just smiled and let him yell. To be fair I was laughing and making fun of him because he earlier tried to get in a fight with the varsity tennis player that also placed 3rd in the state for body building.(which in rural America is pretty impressive)

Instant Sunrise posted:i liked that simpsons game that seemed to be everywhere in the 1990's The only time I ever beat that was when the guy who owned the machines at our pizza place came in to fix them and he gave us like 50 free credits on the thing. My sister and I sat and played for over an hour. The last boss (Burns) was so much bullshit that I needed to spend a couple dollars on top of that to win. Color Printer posted:It sounds like there's a story behind this Yeah, there was a prank but it was years before I attended so I didn't get to see it happen but it was funny that at one point, a teacher had to expressly say we couldn't keep animals inside our lockers.

Living in the southwest, most people assumed I was hispanic or something but I graduated from HS in 01 so it might have been a little uglier if it had been later. Hispanic friends and coworkers always say I look like Seth Rogan for some reason. I have kind of a mild jew fro going on, I guess?

I've also had a really hard time finding it in arcades these days on the offchance I find an arcade to actually go in.

I graduated HS in 2011. But elementary and junior high school in the Bush era was rife with ignorance and hatred from my peers, primarily because of the war and what everyone's parents were saying. People were far more tolerant in college, but it's insane how much a little intolerance by parents can be reflected by their children.

I wasn't bullied a ton, mostly got punched because I was being an rear end in a top hat (quelle surprise). Thankfully being lilly white and being able to pass well as a woman I get very little shade thrown my way but being trans loving sucks because I'm constantly worried about how people are looking at me.

No locker shoving in my childhood but a guy in my ap physics class hid in a cupboard to see if the teacher would notice/care He didn't I wish I could've enjoyed arcades as a kid but the only ones were at the movie theatre and it was a loonie per game instead of a quarter

When I was in high school my school did a deal with another school to take in all their super violent students and never expell them so both schools would look better when it came to funding. They spent most of high school terrorizing me and everyone else. Now the school is super safe and has a really nice football field and people can have long hair without getting their rear end kicked. I am very angry a/b this.

This troper is a Tsundere Action Girl who is probably smarter than L even though she's 13, and people think it's a good idea to push her down, trip her, call her names, shout about her Cloudcuckoolander-ness, stalk her, and repeatedly ask her out after she's said NO. (I'm quite pretty. I'm not self-centered, I just take after my grandmother. Who looks 30 years younger than she IS.)
