    I love the second.
    The pre-sequel was just "meh".
    Never played the first.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

    BA HA HA HA HA!
    That whole thing is brilliant!
    I love this humor!

    The Batman Telltale
    is the only Telltale game
    that I've played before.

    But I'll get this one!
    It's just too good to pass up!
    (Is Zer0 in it?!)

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

    Just saving up cash.
    Trying to buy a house soon.
    Maybe a condo.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~​

    It kind of depends.
    If it's a juice, pineapple.
    (never on pizza)

    Honeydew melon,
    cantaloupe, watermelon.
    Those are all great too.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~​

    I mean I could try. But where is the fun in that? Okay, whatever. Moving right along, I like them all a little. I don't have a fav.

    And I guess it rhymes? I pronounce its name "Rye-Koh", but "Rye-Koo" works too.

    Do you enjoy being in vegetation?
    Do you like horror (books, movies...)?
    Do you have/wish to have freckles?

    Guitar riff
    Flattery
    Hype
    Vacation

    I don't like this game.
    This question format prevents
    my five-seven-five.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~​

    "In vegetation"?
    Like not doing anything?
    I love to do that!

    When co-workers ask
    "Any fun plans this weekend?"
    I have one answer:

    "Nothing." I will say.
    "Not as in I don't have plans:
    my plan is nothing."

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

    Yes, if it's made well.
    Lately I'm reading Lovecraft.
    And he is so good.

    But if it's jump-scares,
    Like in many films and games?
    Not enjoyable.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

    I am satisfied
    with the things I cannot change
    about my body.

    My skin is clear-ish.
    No freckles, very few moles.
    It's the genes I got.

    If I had freckles,
    that would be just fine as well.
    Enjoy your body.

    How long does it take to come up with an answer for these questions in haiku form? :D
    What do you often find yourself writing about?
    Do you write haiku's a lot in real life?

    Not that long at all.
    Sometimes it comes off-the-cuff,
    almost speaking speed.

    Other times it's hard.
    I will tap out syllables,
    again and again.

    Next time in Discord,
    I'll try to do some instant,
    if it's a good day.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

    Writing in fiction?
    I mostly just write intros,
    first chapters of stuff.

    If I get farther,
    I like to do adventure,
    surmounting great tasks.

    But I want to change:
    I want to adjust focus,
    work on character.

    Development, growth.
    How stimulus changes one,
    evolve personae.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

    No, but I'm trying.
    Now that I have Q&A,
    I can practice more.

    Speaking like Zer0
    (the one in Borderlands 2)
    is one of my goals.​

    What’s your favorite time of the day (night counts)?
    Have you ever fished?
    Is there something something you couldn’t do before and wished to be able to, but now that you can do it, it doesn’t seem so great anymore? Or vice versa?

    I like early dawn.
    As the sky turns grae, then red,
    and finally blue.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

    I went crabbing once,
    a very long time ago.
    It's kind of the same.

    But it's not my thing.
    Painful when my mind's idle.
    I need to do things.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

    I like this question.
    I haven't thought of it much,
    Hypothetical:

    I'm not in good shape.
    I'm weak, don't have much muscle.
    But now I work out.

    Every other day
    Exercise and push limits.
    I try to be strong.

    Every other day
    my body is sore, in pain.
    Just existing hurts.

    When I am in shape,
    and physically capable,
    will it be so great?

    This pain for that gain,
    Will it be worth it at all?
    I can only hope.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~
    Haiku rap-battles
    with Eclipse in the Discord.
    (or Poke-Showdown?)

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

    One old kittycat,
    and six egg-laying chickens.
    (Used to have seven).

    The cat's getting old,
    Can't jump, Losing sight and mind,
    but she's still happy.

    About the chickens,
    Two of them had health problems.
    One didn't make it.

    It still makes me sad.
    Which is weird, because they're food.
    She was my favorite.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~​

    Tea is hot leaf juice.
    Nothing but pompous water.
    Coffee? Vivacious.

    (I drink my joe black.
    Ground fresh, brewed twenty minutes.
    So strong, rich, and real.)

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

    Pizza or burger?
    Just how can anyone choose?
    They're both wonderful!

    But it all depends.
    I've had good and bad of both.
    So many factors.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

    Again, it depends.
    I prefer to wear pink shirts,
    but like violet ties.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~​

    Are you interested in space?
    Is there some food people usually eat cold but that you eat warm? Or vice-versa?

    Sometimes not that long.
    Not quite at my talking speed,
    but I'm improving.

    (That, for example,
    took me maybe twelve seconds.
    This, maybe twelve more.)

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~​

    Cherry-Three-Fairy,
    the fruit who has sprouted wings:
    Complete narcissist.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~​

    Well of course I am!
    Who looks at the stars and says
    "Meh, that seems boring"?

    The podcast "Star Talk"
    with host Neil deGrasse Tyson,
    I listen weekly.

    I would leave this earth
    To live and die among stars
    if I had the tech.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

    Just melted ice cream.
    Let it become thick slurry,
    it goes down so good.

    (but not too melted.
    If it's been thawed for a week,
    It will clean you out...)

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

    I have heard of it.
    Give me a moment to search.
    Jog my memory.

    Oh yeah, I've played that!
    Just "Clue" in America.
    Oh, such a good game.

    When I was younger,
    I did not understand it,
    just guessed randomly.

    Critical thinking,
    the kind that comes with ageing.
    makes the concept work.

    Thank you for that sweet haiku.
    What theme do you have on your LV screen? I have Palette Town (pink).

    "hai" means abnormal
    "ku" apparently means verse
    Did you know these facts?​

    Have you ever produced your own food or at least a part of it?
    What’s the hottest place you’ve ever been to? The coldest?

    I use the beta.
    Simple background, dark colors.
    Exactly my type.

    All thanks to your name.
    The syllable counts worked out,
    and made it easy.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~​

    (I see what you did!
    Although this is my gimmick,
    everyone's allowed!)

    I did not know this!
    The translation seems ill-fit.
    The meter's constant.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~​

    The eggs from my birds
    (The chickens mentioned before)
    count as my produce.

    I don't cook so much,
    I'm an amateur baker.
    My best food? Cookies.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

    Coldest place I've been?
    Mountain trail I went to hike.
    Winter, years ago.

    Wind howling so strong,
    Snow soaking my coat, my pants.
    Too numb to feel pain.

    Coldest body temp?
    A thirty-three degree rain,
    waiting for the bus.

    Forty minutes, more?
    Just trying to get to class.
    Bus schedule was off.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

    Sometimes not so good.
    I can count to seventeen.
    Where was I again?

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~​

    I don't like big dogs.
    Sometimes I can like puppies,
    only if they're chill.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

    Wintertime beef stew.
    Beef, potatoes, and carrots,
    such a hearty meal!

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

    I used to live nearby,
    just ten minutes from the shore,
    I'd go all the time.

    That was years ago.
    I cherish those memories,
    remembered fondly.

    The scorching hot sand,
    radiant sun, smell of salt,
    and surround-sound waves.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~​
