Facts About Me

Second note: all portions in quotes that don't end with a Pastebin referenced I've said on Discord — either in servers or in my DMs with people


Facts About Me in General. Not Specifically for Online:
- If it's not obvious from my username, I don't swear

- Do not ask me why I don't swear, and "[please] respect the fact that I don't want to swear". I've had bad memories about people talking about why I don't swear with me included in the conversations in 2022, and I don't want them again. If you ever want a conversation regarding why I don't swear, I will not have one

- If you're going to ask me when the last time I've sworn is, I won't answer your question. I know, but I won't answer it

- I don't care if people swear. My name isn't supposed to encourage others to not swear. It just means 𝘐 don't swear

- I don't like being called "SwearGuy" or "Swear". Please call me "NoSwear" (abbreviating to "NS" is fine) [1]

- If there's one thing you need to know about me, it's that I never lie to people

- "I don't want people knowing my ethnicity because it's kinda personal to me"

- "I live with my mom and not with my dad, so you can just say "your mom" instead of "your parents""

- "English is my only language"

- As my Bio says on some of my social media accounts, I'm neurodivergent [2], I'm an interesting person, and I'm a teenager

- I left Twitch on June 11th, 2022, for a good reason, and I won't say why. I still watch without an account, and I will never go back. This is why I always talk in Discord servers or my Discord DMs with the streamer or people chatting in the stream and not the Twitch chat

- I'm fine with necros [3]

- I'm someone who necros [3], but I don't reply to anything that's at least 12 months old

- "I'm always online (except when I'm not [both a joke and the truth])". "I can be gone for up to two hours"

- I'm done with high school, and I'll be starting college in September

- I'm usually fine with people taking screenshots of my messages without asking me, but I have preferences about it. "[For Discord,] I prefer people to either send the message link, use the quote format, or forward the message, and they don't need to ask for permission for all three. If none of the options are available, they can take a screenshot. If I'm not in a server, and someone wants to show me a message in that server, then sending a screenshot is fine. If it's something like sending a screenshot of a YouTube comment in a Discord chat, that's one platform to another platform, and I [have to be] fine with [that]. If they want to send screenshots of my DMs in a server or to other people's DMs, or if they want to send screenshots of my messages in a server in the same server, a different server, or in DMs, then I want them to ask for permission. But if you're going to use screenshots of my messages for a video — as long as it's appropriate — by all means, go ahead. No need to ask for permission." I don't mind if people take screenshots of my pronouns, About Me, status, and custom status on Discord without asking me, though. I only care about messages for my preferences

- "My internet is off from 12:30 AM–8:30 AM every day. I don't have a data plan, so I can't access online things from 12:30 AM–8:30 AM every day. I'm forced to do offline things during when my internet is off. While my internet is off, if I have anything to do that requires internet, I write them down on my "To Do for Online Things" to-do list [[4]] under the "Either When You Wake Up or Have Internet at 8:30 AM" section, then do them all when my internet turns on or when I wake up." (https://pastebin.com/PaDpNRmK line 9)

- On December 23rd, 2024, I got so tired at 5 PM and slept at 5:15 PM, and that's the earliest I've slept

- "I never pull all-nighters"

- I never sleep in the morning or early afternoon and wake up in the evening or at night. I always sleep at night and wake up in the morning

- I have quite a lot of coding knowledge, but not a ton. Here's how much knowledge I have for each language:
    • 6502: Quite a lot, but not a ton. I use the NESDev Wiki, I can do assembly very easily, and I know some of the NES's inner-workings, such as all three interrupts — NMI, Reset, and IRQ — take seven CPU cycles, FCEUX does not do that for the Reset interrupt and begins execution on CPU cycle zero, and nothing about the MMC1's power-up status is guaranteed. If I have questions that aren't documented, I ask either in the NESDev Forms or a friend of mine. I have very few questions, though
    • lua: Quite a lot, but not a ton. I'm not very advanced with it, I have no experience with arrays (if I ever use arrays, then I got help). If you want to know some scripts I've made, here you go: https://github.com/TheNoSwearGuy/smb.lua-and-smas-smb.lua. Except for them being based on the smb3.lua (https://github.com/fortenbt/smb3-lua) script, some of it is my code, and some of it is either "borrowed" code or code I got help for
    • C, C++, and C#: Zero knowledge
    • Python: I learned it in Computer Science 12, so I have some knowledge
    • JavaScript: I've done lessons of it on Tynker in the past, so I know a little. The last time I did it was in either 2022 or 2023
    • html: I've done private lessons in the past, but that was a few years ago as of October 2024, and I forgot pretty much everything about it

- I have quite a lot of speedrunning and technical knowledge regarding any SMB1-related game and SMB3, but not a ton for technical knowledge. I have less technical SMB3 knowledge than technical SMB1 knowledge

- Apart from not using periods all the time, I always want to write formally. Not entirely formally, though, only with proper punctuation — except for periods — and capitalization and formatting numbers correctly. I also don't use commas when I don't mean it with a pause at that moment, and I don't begin a sentence with a capital letter if I'm starting a sentence with an acronym I don't fully capitalize, such as "idk" and "wdym", starting a sentence with a name that's not capitalized, continuing a previous message, or copying a message that doesn't start with a capital letter, and if I'm splitting my message into two or more messages, then I don't start the latter messages (all except the first one) with a capital letter if they don't begin with one. It's intentional when I do these things. I don't use proper capitalization in searches because I want to be fast with those, and I don't use proper capitalization when I need to note something down fast. I still use proper punctuation (except for periods) and format numbers correctly in those two, though

- I mainly use emoticons, but I also use emojis — although really only the thumbs up emoji — and non-BetterTTV emotes. I never use emoticons for sarcasm
    • The emoticon I commonly use is ":)"
    • The emoticons I uncommonly use are ":D", "XD", and ":("

- "I don't know the proper meaning or proper use for the skull emoji, the moyai emoji, and the sob emoji, so I both never use them myself and sometimes have a hard time understanding what people mean when they use them". You can still use them when talking to me, though. I just may not get what you mean with them sometimes

- I never say "W" or "L" or react with "W" or "L" as "Win" and "Loss" respectively in general

- The five most common things I say are "Oh ok", "Oh alright then", "Alright", "lol okay", and "Alright then" — ordered from most common to least common (the first two being equally as common)

- "if I make a typo, [miss a word, or add an extra word,] I would either correct it before I send the message, or if I already sent the message, edit it to correct it". "I sometimes entirely miss my typos, missing words, and extra words, but usually, I immediately see them and fix them"

- "I want my typos, missing words, and extra words corrected because I entirely miss them sometimes"

- I say both "ok" and "okay"

- I never post gifs or meme images because I never know when it's appropriate to

- I don't use that many texting acronyms, but I do use "idk", "wdym", "FYI", and "lol/LOL" — capitalized like that for all four

- I don't joke around very often online, and I half-joke around somewhat often. In real life, I joke around often, but not that often

- "I see" is not something I say in text. I do say it, but never by itself. I say it in real life, though. For example, in real life, I sometimes say, "Oh I see"

- "Gotcha" is not something I say

- "When I say good morning or good afternoon, I typically use the other person's time zone and not mine with two exceptions. 1. When I wake up [or when my internet turns on (see line 38)] and say good morning. And 2. When I head to sleep [or when my internet is about to turn off (again, see line 38)] and say good night". "Also I never say good evening. It's not something I say"

- On computer, I type at 100 words per minute at my fastest, but in average typing, I type at 80-90 words per minute. My best is 104 words per minute on computer. On mobile, I type at 80 words per minute at my fastest, but in average typing, I type at 60-70 words per minute. My best is 83 words per minute on mobile

- "On iPhones, there's a setting named "Smart Punctuation" in General → Keyboard that makes your apostrophes like this: ’ instead of this: ', your quotes like this: ” instead of this: ", ... turning into ellipses (one character and not three), and double hyphens turning into em dashes (-- turning into —). Most people have that on, so by the first two, I know when they're on mobile or on computer. For me, I have it off because I don't like the look of the different apostrophes and quotes"

- "it's my habit to react with a thumbs up every time someone says anything "ok"-related", anything "ah"-related, "Alright" or "alr", "Gotcha" and "Got it", and "I see"

- In general, I talk fast, but when I initially say something in which I talk fast, and people don't get what I said, I talk slower to be more clear. And I also try to talk slower in Discord VCs in general

- "I don't really want to talk about what I have for meals". "It's not important to me"

- I start having dinner at 7:30–8:30

- "I like being exact in general". "I probably am over-exact", but I do make estimates sometimes

- I'm neutral/indifferent when it comes to holidays and special occasions, except for birthdays (mine and others)

- I don't usually do scales, such as "rate this out of 10", but I do them sometimes

- I have a very good memory, "[but] I sometimes forget things that happened yesterday, an hour ago, 15 minutes ago, 10 minutes ago, or even five minutes ago just to list examples"

- I'm a speedrunner, and here's my Speedrun.com profile: https://www.speedrun.com/users/TheNoSwearGuy, here are my speedrunning goals: https://pastebin.com/SbBMZwEg, and here are all my speedruns: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNYxAyE9AWlQ-4v4GcmbGpq6aUitBXNgZ

- I'm a speedcuber, and here are all my 3x3x3 speedsolves I've uploaded: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNYxAyE9AWlTh5rUWWRtmK9rg11ionFLi, and my 3x3x3 PB is 20.285: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGjviKDKzCw

- I don't alt on any social media platform

- I delete my messages in conversations I'm sad about or that make me feel hurt. I know it's a bad thing I do

- "I like being generous"

- "I always want to say happy birthday to people at the moment it's midnight for them if possible"

- When I state where things are that are not in this section, I always say "*insert placement* *insert section* point" unless it's either too far down or I'm referring to multiple lines, such as which Discord servers I'm in. I'll give an example for Discord's section. I always say "last Discord point", "first Discord point", "second Discord point", "third Discord point", "fourth Discord point", and by that point, I've reached which servers I'm in, so from then on, I say the line number instead. The reason why I do all this is so I can reduce the number of messages I need to go to to edit all the line numbers when I go everywhere (literally everywhere) to do so




Facts About Me for Discord:
- My first Discord account was created on May 20th, 2020, but it got hacked on January 22nd, 2022, so I panic-deleted it and immediately created a new account. More information here: https://pastebin.com/MmMMj8qL

- I prefer to be pinged in replies all the time, and for mentions, I prefer people to not silent the ping/message. The reason is because "I want to get the notification". "I don't mind if people don't ping me in replies or silent mentioning me, it's only a preference"

- "If you don't ping me [in a reply], I'll still most likely see the message because I'm always online", as line 32 says

- I have a habit of turning off pings in replies, but I've been trying to somewhat break it. I usually always turn off the ping because of my habit, but for people who prefer to be pinged, I keep it on unless I don't feel like it's necessary to ping them, such as when I say any of the five most common things I say (see line 66). For other people, I keep it on when I want them to see my message. I also sometimes keep it on when I know someone will be gone for a long time

- I'm only in six servers. The six servers I'm in are
    • FlibidyDibidy's server
    • Geometry Dash
    • Geometry Dash Speedruns
    • NoSwear's Server
    • Onix Client (Windows, x64)
    • and a private server for me only for emotes I don't want publicly available
  "I don't need to be in any other ones"

- As listed in the previous fact, I have a Discord server, and if you'd like to join it, here's the invite: https://discord.gg/NBAaAeMVU9

- "I [join servers I'm not already in] if I want to have a look. After I had a look, I leave them". I don't stay in them "[because] I don't need to be in them", as line 139 says

- I have my DM settings set so people can only message me if they're either in a server I'm in or have me added

- Since September 16th, 2022, I have auto-emoticon-to-emoji off

- I have "Reaction Notifications" set to "All Messages", and it's no matter for me because I prefer to be pinged all the time, as line 126 says

- I use underscores for italics and not asterisks because you use underscores for italics on YouTube, and it's derived from that. I only use asterisks if underscores wouldn't format

- I prefer to either send the message link, use the quote format, or forward the message rather than sending a screenshot, and I prefer other people to do the same unless sending a screenshot is the only option, as line 36 says

- When I join VCs, I always stay muted, and when I want to talk, I unmute myself and re-mute after I finish talking

- I leave VCs when I feel like leaving them without saying anything nearly all the time. Exceptions are when I head to sleep and say good night, when my internet is about to turn off (see line 38), and when I need to be right back

- I typically have group chats muted because I treat them as servers, but I unmute them when I want to get notifications from them

- As line 114 says, I like being generous, so if I've known you for a while, you may see me giving you Nitro. "I [also] like gifting people Nitro as a gift for their birthday if they don't already have it" [Edit: Currently, every time I try to make a purchase, Discord asks me to verify my purchase, so I am unable to buy a Nitro gift, as I can't verify the purchase myself. If this ever gets fixed, this edit will be removed. The only thing I can do right now is send a two-week trial, but as of when you're reading this, I've used up all three and have to wait for a refill]

- "I hold Shift when replying to myself, deleting messages, copying message links, and pinning messages" instead of clicking on the three dots or right-clicking because it's faster that way for all four

- "if I ever don't respond to any of your messages, it's not because I didn't see them. It's because I don't really have anything to say. I always see every DM"

- I mainly only complete quests that involve watching a video and the bounties, but I also complete quests that involve launching a game in the Discord app, and I only complete quests that involve playing a game with Discord open if it's a game I play, have played before, have installed, or am willing to install temporarily, which is very rare

- The only thing I've purchased in the shop ever is the orbs apprentice badge, and I will never purchase anything else (with money or orbs). The reason why is I don't need or want any avatar decorations, nameplates, or profile effects

- Information regarding my statuses:
    • 🟢 Always set. Exceptions are in the other three statuses
    • 🌙 Never manually set. Always automatically set by Discord
    • ⛔️ Busy, recording, watching a premiere, watching an important livestream (such as Minecraft LIVE), watching a video and not wanting to be disturbed by notifications, or wants notifications off. For the second one, that's for non-speedruns. For speedruns, I have it set to Online (except for games I play in full screen and games I play with display capture, then I have it set to Do Not Disturb)
    • 🔘 Never manually set. Always automatically set by Discord. I could be sleeping, my internet could be off, et cetera, or I could have Discord not open on neither my computer nor my phone. More information on the second one on line 38
  If my status is ever manually set to Idle or Offline, then I misclicked it and meant to click either Online or Do Not Disturb




Facts About Me for YouTube:
- I always want to do sub-for-a-subs

- Don't ask me to make thumbnails for you. My thumbnails are very basic and honestly not the best

- I prefer to have all my thumbnails in the same style (my style), so please don't ask to make me thumbnails

- In my premieres, if no one chatted, then I turn off live chat replay. Otherwise, I have it on

- For my videos that were initially made public, I never private them later on. I only either keep them public, unlist them, or delete them

- I'll never stream, as I don't want to. If you're wondering why this is in the YouTube section and why I wouldn't stream on Twitch if I were to stream, read line 26




Facts About Me for Speedrunning:
- I'm the world record holder in Geometry Dash Meltdown and Geometry Dash SubZero. I have 4/4 Meltdown world records (2/2 iOS and 2/2 Android) and 6/12 SubZero world records (4/6 iOS [5] and 2/6 Android [6]). You can find my runs here: https://www.speedrun.com/geometry_dash_meltdown and here: https://www.speedrun.com/geometry_dash_subzero

- I have Discord and phone notifications on while I'm speedrunning or practicing, and it doesn't distract me at all when I get notifications

- I don't do races

    SMB1 Speedrunning:
    - In Any%, I'm the first person to skip 4:56. I went from 4:57.427 to 4:55.680

    - My Any% sum of best is 4:54.349

    - My Warpless sum of best is 18:50.604 (no FFPGs, only FPGs [except 8-2]) [7]

    - My 8-4 IL sum of best is A→C→1(63)→B+2 44.244

    - "Since March [2026], it's a tradition of mine to comment the room breakdown of sub-4:56 [Any%] runs"
