You travel 40 thousand years into the past and get to draw anything on a cave wall. What do you draw to cause the most hysteria when the drawing is eventually found in 2023?

Burn

Be like the Maya's but better. Hope that this won't have a butterfly effect but:

Write some true predictions such as: George bush will beat algore by a narrow vote, Covid will come, Russia invades Ukraine.

Then write: Armageddon will come at the year 2025

To really fuck up their minds you could also write: the aliens are watching. Bleep bloop.

What’s the first sign that a movie is going to be bad?

Girl power or lgbtbbq.

This.

Guardians 3 was good.

It's a live action Disney remake.

When it's announcement for a reboot/remake of a barely ten year old franchise. 

A sequel to a movie that was originally a one off.

Uh... Lord of the Rings, Schindler's List, Shawshank Redeption, The Godfather, Jurassic Park, Fight Club, Gone Girl, Room, Forrest Gump, The Princess Bride, Silence of the Lambs, The Shining, Jaws, To Kill A Mockingbird.

I'd alter history entirely ;~)

If you could place any object on the surface of Mars, purely to confuse NASA scientists, what would it be?

Giant footprints.

What scientific fact scares the absolute shit out of you?

Your existence

I agree with Cel here. The fact that a skill I've been improving for 2/3rds of my life to eventually become a career could become obsolete within the next 5 years is the scariest thing to me. 

Helium is a non-renewable resource. Once it's gone, it's gone and we are running out. We need helium to operate MRI machines. We are using it for balloons.

Oh thank God! We can forget about those pesky MRI machines and focus on the important stuff... Like making are voices high and squeaky. ^_^

You meet your 13 year old self, but you can only tell them 3 words. What do you say and why?

What survival myth is completely wrong and can get you killed?

Myth: If you're in the desert with no water, you should drink cactus fluid to stay hydrated.

Truth: Very few types of cactus contain fluids that are actually safe to drink. Most of them contain highly acidic fluid that can cause several nasty side effects including temporary paralasis, diarehea and vomitting (which will leave you even more dehydrated than before.)

Myth 1: hydration

I blame it on the tv show Man vs Wild for this weird myth that urine is a good alternative for water in a desert. You never should drink your own piss. 

Myth 2: animal attacks

Many people have a fear of wild carnivores, but often they underestimate how dangerous large herbivores can be. Never come close to a moose, a deer or a camel. Especially the first one can be notoriously aggressive. Just stay away from them. Funny enough, dingo (the notorious chicken snatchers) attacks are very rare, those poor critters are more likely to be mauled by a pack of wolves than you.

I second that. Creating a fire by rubbing two sticks together is notoriously difficult (a thing you often see in survival shows). Even creating fire with a magnifying glass is pretty tricky. 

Rubbing horse shit on your chest doesn't cure a cold.

I was unaware that was a thing. o.o

No Questionnaire today! There's been a sudden shift in the cosmos lately...

What are some of your favorite video games?

I have an immense love for quirky and scary rpg games (specifically ones made with RPG Maker). I remember Darius mentioning Fear & Hunger earlier, and I did everything in my power at that moment to not shake and tremble and go on a terribly long rant about that game. Others I really enjoyed were Omori, Yume Nikki, Corpse Party, Lisa: The Painful, OFF, Your Turn to Die, and Stray Cat Crossing.

Fear & Hunger is made to be especially hard. It takes a lot of dying and experimentation to beat the game. (sounds a bit like some storygames here on the site) 

Also, I love Persona 5. I own the royal version but I can't quite seem to urge myself to finish it. 

Here is the fear and Hunger rant.

Fear and Hunger is really good and has a resurgence in popularity. It has also phenomenal artwork that is heavily inspired by Ayami Kojima. In some way the storyline reminds me of Berserk (they have a discount version of Guts and Griffith lol). Very much dark fantasy, very grim. 

The game itself actually isn't very hard if you know what you're doing. The gameplay is not based on getting faster reaction times and better reflexes but it's mostly focused on gathering more knowledge about the inner workings of the dungeon and the enemies. Tldr. You're supposed to die a lot. That's part of the learning process. An average run from start to one of the endings is very short (about three hours or so), but due to you dying a lot, the overall playtime can stretch upwards to 40 hours or so?

Trigger warning: the artwork and content can be very graphic. Eh, so if you are not that keen on seeing lots of not so family friendly content, there is also a censored version that replaces every odd object with pinecones.

Extra recommendation: if you want a less graphic version, try fear and Hunger Termina. It really tones down on the more icky parts of it's predecessor, with improved artwork and a much more focused storyline alongside more forgiving game mechanics. There are also more playable characters ranging from a foreign mage guy to a former child soldier. 

Ace, if you like this game, try Pathologic classic next! It's also relatively cheap compared to the price of modern triple A games. It's very fun!

Favorite game; I don't really play video games. I only watch lore videos and read reviews. So my favorite games I had actually played are Dungeon Hunter II and Professor Layton and Pandora's box.

Monkey Island! ^_^

The Sims (any edition)

Minecraft 

Mario Kart Wii

I enjoy any generic first-person shooter game, but especially liked Call of Duty: Ghosts. Crossy Road was also amusing.

Warning: this user is retarded

You should play the BOOMER shooter Blood (With both expansions) if you can.

(Don't play the sequel, it sucks)

It appears to be free, I'll try it out. Thanks for the recommendation.

Frenzy was cool and much better than the original Berserk. Used to play that one in the arcades a lot.

Sims 3, the greatest game ever made.

I love Fallout so much and it's a shame I've only gotten into it relatively recently. I started with New Vegas which was a bad idea because the games will never be that good ever again.

Have you played the original games, Fallout and Fallout 2?

If you could change one event in history, what would it be and why?

Your conception.

My Comment on Deepthroat Circus. That way, Ant wouldn't message me, and I wouldn't have posted my forum, and Sent wouldn't tag Ant and Ant wouldn't learn to use the forums, and that way Ant wouldn't cause chaos in CYS.

I and other users read the story independent of any influence and it would've been controversial and I would've defended it regardless, I literally don't know who you are and you have never once mattered.

I would go back and time and kill the time traveller attempting to save Constantinople from Turkish invasion. 

Odd, I would have thought Malk would have been the one attempting to stop TCat’s existence, though Cricket trying to indirectly cause the death of her sister might not be too surprising.

Daji and I are now locked in a paradoxical time loop of mutual assassination, allowing the conquest of Constantinople to impede unmolested. Just as planned 

I would have to go back in time and kill all three of you before you entered the time machine in order to close the loop and keep the universe from infinitely splitting and breaking down quantum reality any worse than it's already been polluted.

Decided it would be interesting if you were asking questions. Ask me anything.

What... Is the average air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Around 20-25 mph

I'm Autistic

Favorite so-bad-it's-good-movie?

Bad Cat (2016)

For me, it's Love on a Leash. A film about a woman who falls in love with her dog.

Do you read your screenname as "I Mad Galaxy" or "Imadga Laxy" or "I Made A Galaxy"?

"I Mad Galaxy"

What are the next three letters in this combination?

I don't really know

Has anyone really been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

No, not really. A few people have tried that, but simply not close enough. Maybe by 2040 people would reach that point. Thanks for such a well-crafted question.

Does Bruno Mars is gay?

Just a few weeks ago there was also no question for Friday Night Questionnaire 2. imadgalaxy has lost a step in the art of asking a weekly question, I fear.

I have a list of questions kept in a google doc. Days I don't ask any questions is completely intentional.
