Show me your true power level!
When I was 13 I got my first phone. While i was entering the information for my mother, I decided to put in My Tallest as her name cause invader zim was huge at the time.
Cut to 11 years later. I've gone through 6 phones, yet in every one i type in my tallest for my mother's name. I don't even think about it anymore. I'm gonna end up getting into an accident and the paramedics aren't going to know who the fuck to call.
>>77368084
Never show people your power level. 14 years later, I'm still the Naruto guy who's supposedly has a thing for Asian chicks.
>>77368145
My power level is a sign of greater status between my animation classmates.
>>77368084
I don't know anymore, nerd shit is pretty mainstream now. The muscle chads at my gym all wear DBZ and superhero shirts.
>>77368556
That's always been a thing.
Are you guys really this socially unaware?
>>77369098
They really are.
>>77368084
I don't show my powerlevels. My parents do though. They got Peanuts and Schoolhouse Rock shirts this year.
>>77368556
>nerd shit is pretty mainstream now.
That doesn't mean BEING a nerd is mainstream though. the criteria for a normie to call him/herself a nerd is usually "I watched the Harry Potter movies," or some other thing that millions of people are in to.
They just self-apply the term in order to
>Defuse any criticism by pre-empting it
>align themselves with a style/cohort that they feel like they can "look good" in
Nerd is the new "punk." It's anything BUT what it claims to be.
>>77368084
Wrote a buttload of Sonadow fanfics.
I'm 25 and I've never been hugged or held hands. 5 more years until unlimited power.
>>77368084
that's pretty kawaii senpai desu
>>77369098
It's been a thing for as long as nerd culture has been a mainstream thing which is 10 years or so. Maybe you're just too young to appreciate the difference.
>>77369313
I'm rooting for ya.
>>77369313
Nice bro, I've got a bit over 6 myself. One day, the magic will be mine.
I'm currently watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes and reading Cerebus. I used to collect Figuarts, Figmas, Super Action Statues and the like. Still get a couple. My favorite game developer is Platinum, and Metal Gear is my favorite game series. I've seen almost every Godzilla movie, but my favorite films are Oldboy and Chasing Amy. I can't carry on a relationship with a girl for more than a month, and I'm here daily.
>>77369313
I'm 29 and rolling for ravenclaw
>>77368084
I was born in 1997, what is this?
>>77369512
>Chasing Amy
I'm not sure why but this feels like a red flag to me
>>77368084
>invader zim shit on your phone.
That's not power level. That's cringe.
my smartphone's wallpaper is a Mother Box.
THAT'S power level.
>>77369313
Today's my 24th birthday and still no kiss.
I can't wait to learn how to fly.
>>77369098
>Are you guys really this socially unaware?
Where the fuck do you think you are, wise guy?
>Have a ton of legos, specifically marvel stuff and some star wars, arranged in a diorama in my apartment
>also recently bought a couple of lewd(ish) japanese figures and have them on display
>draw rule34 and make lewd sfm animations/posters
everything gets hidden when I have guests and I talk to no one of them. It will all come crashing down one day
>>77369313
Ten months left.
>>77369313
>I've never been hugged or held hands.
Not even with your mother?
>>77368556
Doing that and being a nerd is as far apart as slapping a guy's ass for a joke and sucking cock. If you can't tell the difference, you have autism.
Don't let pop culture fool you. Just because Zimbabwe Man is a popular show with normies, it doesn't mean real nerds are any more accepted.
>>77369769
In fact, the entire premise of that show seems to be "It's it SO FUNNY that women tolerate this losers"
I hide my powerlevel by looking like a normalfag. Then girls talk to me and the only things I can make small talk about are comics, star wars, vidya, and magic cards.
>>77369749
>draw r34
Are you any good? Which series specifically? Anything of yours on paheal?
>>77369762
My mom kept telling me she didn't know me that well.
Dad prefers 80's - 90's anime, but he's been getting into newer stuff like SnK. He fucking adores Gendy Tartakovsky's work, especially Dexter's Lab.
Mom likes anime, but mainly only watches when we watch as a family. One Piece, Naruto and such. She really likes Pokemon and Team Rocket because they look fabulous
Sister is pretty high. Anime apparels. Started an anime club. Favourite cartoons and comics are Teen Titans related. Loves Dick's Gayson. Refuses she's fujoshit. Whatever. I still love her.
I download and rewatch series I watched as a kid just to make sure I've seen every episode. I've got a couple TB external drives for archiving purposes. When I go outside the only way I express my power level is through t-shirts. If someone recognizes it, we usually carry a short conversation and then move on. I reveal my level one level at a time as a conversation goes on until the person shows disinterest. Never start high. Always start low and build your way up.
>>77369903
You seriously, fuck you. I have never hated someone this much. how come you get a great family?
>>77369961
I show my power level by refusing to participate in bullying bullshit and it makes some normies REALLY uncomfortable.
The college I went to had "cube" style dorms with 4 double rooms and a single room per bathroom/hallway. My cube was full of the type of people that get out boxing gloves when they drink.
The single room was occupied by a guy that everyone called Techno Charlie. Techno Charlie was the only person to ever be banned from the campus anime club. Charlie would come out and participate in the parties when he heard commotion in the hallway. Except he'd come out in full samurai kimono and replica sword and try to talk to everyone about his favorite anime.
Everyone else would refuse to make eye contact and literally just ignore him. I, on the other hand, would stand there smoking a joint and listen to Charlie rant about cutsey anime bullshit and I loved every minute of it. The looks I'd get from girls that were visiting and other normies TO THIS DAY makes me smile ear to ear.
Not only am I NOT going to run him off, I'm gonna pull up a chair and wallow in it. Suck on it assholes.
I'm 20 and still live with my dad. I have a shitty job since I watched anime instead of doing school work in high school, I was barely able to graduate. I haven't had friends since middle school and no girl has ever shown interest in me. I'm pretty close to my sister though, she's always telling me to stop hiding my power level and be myself. She drives me to the comic shop since I'm too autistic to get my license.
>>77369630
It's about an affable comic creator who finds the love of his life (which happens to be a pretty crazy chick) and loses it all due to his massive sexual insecurity. I can see the red flags fairly clearly.
>people in this thread
There's a reason I only talk about this shit online: I never ever want to meet you sad fucks in real life.
I don't have a high power level but my wife does. My wife has seen Lion King so much that she has the entire movie memorized. Occasionally I'll throw out a random line and she'll follow up until I gave up.
I guess it's not just her because her best friend from college also has the movie memorized so they could go back and forth trading lines from start to finish if they want.
How's that for power level?
>Get sent to boarding school
>Decide to be more social at first, go around meeting people
>Turns out other guys like comics, anime & vidya
>Once we've found each other, we hang out inside dorms playing DotA, watching cartoons

It's still the best kevin smith movie tho.
When im not playing vidya or reading comic books, im designing vintage styled posters while listening to the old shadow radio shows. I am 23, living in europe and am surrounded by the highest level of normies only. End my misery.
I attend an art school. (yes. i know).
My teachers are so into old comics that in their mind, anything with horror or fantasy elements is for kids. When I let out my power level and mentioned books like Hellboy or Scott Pilgrim with supernatural and vidya elements that were read by adults, my teacher said "they're retarded?"
He admitted only reading funny books and not understanding anything about what I just described. (had to explain the concept of a level in a video game among other things).
I'm starting to wonder what i'm doing there.
>>77370193
>How's that for power level?
>my wife has more intimacy with her college boyfriend than with me
Sounds low, man.
>>77370813
what old comics are you talking about? like daily newspaper strips or political cartoons?
>>77369313
30 here. I just mastered how to resurrect the dead last week. Brb Lincoln is calling me over for Ghandi's housewarming party.
>>77370918
Good on you bro.
keep practicing, 30 more years until warlock, but you can do it
>>77369313
>>77370193
>How's that for power level?
That's Yamcha tier, bro.
>>77370908
Depends on the teachers, but mostly stuff like something akin to newspaper strips for this guy.
Then you have the one who hasn't read a comic in years, and when i mentioned wanting a story with a witch in it, I was thinking HB, and he was thinking a story for five years old so he said no.
Then the one who can mainly into realistic stuff.
So now they're pushing me to do a parody of the old testament in a crude humor style (rude and gross jokes with god being a drunken idiot), while I want to do short stories with supernatural elements.
My final paper for my college English class is based on...
Well, pic related.
>>77371130
The parody or the actual thing?
>>77371231
The one that will let me get away with a line talking about Saddam Hitler.
The professor has given me the green light, I'm making charts based on each chapter (they are better than what Iron man came up with), and nothing can stop me!
This is also the highest I'm going to let my power level get to.
>>77371347
I'm proud. Have there been people who did reports on the Hypercrisis? I vaguely remember something about that, but it escapes me at the moment.
>>77369607
IWASBORNINTHEUSA , what is this?
>>77371386
I don't know, but I doubt I could get away with a Hypercrisis paper.
However, I would be willing to watch a 2 hour Hypercrisis documentary.
I'm 23 and have almost the whole Super Battle Collection of figures in my room. I've been building Gundam and Zoids models since I was in 5th grade. I buy comics and manga. I finally found a group to play D&D last year. I tell my friends I want a body pillow as a joke, but I actually really want one.

there's so much more but this thread's probably dead soon
Was a huge weeb when I was younger. I know Japanese and have studied on my own for the past 16 years. My email is still the weeb email I made when I was 15 years old. I can recognize probably 30 or so languages by sight but only 15 or so by ear. I grew up watching Godzilla films and was a huge Sonic the Hedgehog fanatic as a kid.
I used to have a custom-made Sonic the Hedgehog painting someone did for me hanging in my bedroom for years. I got rid of it when I felt I was too old to have something like that up on my wall. Doesn't really matter now since I have posters of Godzilla, Ultraman, and a dinosaur poster from the Museum of Natural History circa 1995 hanging on my walls.
I've got more DVDs than I know what to do with. 80% Japanese, 95% animation in general. Used to have nearly every video game console made between 1985 and 2003 until I had to sell all my old games and toys during the recession.
My bedroom is like 8x10 feet. I haven't left this bedroom too much in the past decade.I lost my virginity a decade ago.

But they're incredibly successful compared to most real nerds. They have very successful careers, all have girlfriends (2 being married) and have a pretty high powerlevel.

Ah, yeah, it was called /Co/operation and /Co/mmunity in /Co/mics: 4chan’s Hypercrisis and was published in 2013 an issue of the Journal of Transformative Works and Cultures that was focused on comic books.
Can't seem to find the actual article though, unfortunately. Too bad, it was well done.
Only revealed power level when i was an edgy teenager who wanted people to like me through my hobbies
Then i grew up and now only reveal it when i'm drunk as fuck and someone starts to talk about comics

When I was in high school I started studying science because part of me hoped that if I was ever in a lab accident I might get superpowers like The Flash or The Hulk.

I've read that too and was also looking for it. It was less about the Hypercrisis itself and more about its formation as a collection of fan theories and how the collective speculation formed into a steady community of its own. It never actually talked about specific Hypercrisis ideas other than citing them to show how different people would build upon what others have brought up using information from countless different stories.

I don't have that great of a power level, just 4chan/video games/anime/cartoons/some other things that I don't necessarily consider power but should still be considered. I always kept my power level hidden, except around my friends, who were all of similar power (sense of humor, interests, etc).
Back in high school my school had a weird quiz thing and the topic was superheroes. Just about all the questions were movie related so there were easy as shit I decided to be smarmy asshole throughout the whole quiz game.
The questions were shit like "What is Green Lantern's secret identity?" i would ask back "Are you asking for golden age, silver age, or bronze age?"
I did this through all the game, eventually everyone else because quit because I followed every question with "Re-Crisis or Post Crisis?"
It was fun day, I won a $20 visa giftcard which I used to buy gunpla.

Well, this is real.
I must now kneel at your feet for you're power level is much greater than my own.
-I wrote a 68 page research paper about comic book creator rights with an emphasis on the period of 1980-1995.
-I have spent more on action figures this year than the blue book value of my car.
-I have M.U.S.C.L.E. figurines displayed near my TV, and use them as a conversational ice breaker whenever I get visitors. Turns out most males age 25-40 (or a close family member) owned at least a few.

Are you saying that you think those shows are bad? Because stuff like The Wire, Mad Men, The Sopranos, and Treme are far better than any cartoon/anime I've ever watched. I feel like only Moral Orel gets close to them.
I can't find a job I'll ever like, I feel like I will never move out of my parent's house because retail and a bullshit degree are all I have for experience. I only look forward to 4chan these days.
>>77386886
Futa won't get him on the sexual predator watchlist as surely as this will. Why do you think no one fixed the retarded law that treats drawings like actual pictures? Just hinting at doing that makes people label you a child rapist who simply wasn't caught or didn't have the chance to rape yet but should be judged and convicted preemptively.
