okay sorry im retarded, we do have a buyfag thread, but when i checked the catalog its wasnt immediately clear because the "Also ITT Post and discuss things you bought online." cant be seen in catalog view. but my post was more about the fact that i sit im my room all day and have nothing to do except plan out a life i will never live anyway. in fact i bought over a 100 boardgames off amazon just in case i ever make friends that come over to visit me, so we can play games together. most of my games on steam are multiplayer too despite having zero steam contacts. i also have full sets of expensive dinnerware to impress any visitors in case i ever get any. but right now it looks all these things will never see any real use, its all just dreams in my head

YouTube embed. Click thumbnail to play.

Just spent most of today lying on the couch napping, staring off into space and daydreaming. I do that everyday, but usually I also force myself to play a video game at some point while awake, mostly so I can feel like I've at least done something productive in my active hours (by my standards, that is), but today I just couldn't. Too depressed, too much effort. Movies, TV, and anything else you could name is the same story. Problem is that very often when I sit idly without doing anything I just get excruciatingly restless & bored. Today wasn't much of an exception to that, but, even still, I had a few moments of relative contentment from myself here and there. Spent a little time browsing the internet, but there's nowhere for me to go and nothing I have any desire to search for. If it weren't for porn sites and torrents, I'd have very little use for the web at large. Reddit & YouTube are essentially the only two websites I regularly visit. Even then, there's only about two subreddits I lurk and three YouTube channels I sometimes watch, beyond just watching the odd random video. Besides that, I spent a lot of time just shifting back and forth in profound discomfort, as I do most days. Couldn't help, but just bang my head against the wall a few times. I've spent more time fantasizing & thinking about my own death than anything else in my whole life. Well over 1000 hours, at least. It's basically become a habit that I think about it at least once each day. Dying painlessly in my sleep would be like winning the ultimate lottery. Anyway, I guess I'll just jerk off and go to sleep. Nothing else to do besides the usual tired drudgery.

But, you know, despite it all, I'd still take living as a hikikomori over anything else. The world, and life as a whole, are grotesque phantasmagorical nightmares. The only sensible option being to retreat and shield yourself from it as best you can. Being a hermit isn't perfect, but it's better than the alternative of being exposed to all that rottenness out there. If there are self-made purgatories, then we all have to live in them. Mine can be no worse than someone else's. Life is designed to make you suffer no matter what you do. I just wish I had the stomach to finally kill myself. Something I've yearned for going on 10+ years now. In the end, I'm just, very impatiently, waiting to die, since I'm too weak & afraid to bring it about any faster. It really does take its toll. The waiting. The seemingly endless waiting. While everything gets worse & worse in the meantime. Waking up everyday feeling like I just got hit in the head and beaten to a pulp with a baseball bat, multiplied across hundreds upon hundreds of days is really wearying and something I wish was fatal in itself. It is what it is, I guess. Oh well.

i dont enjoy anything anymore, not even videogames or youtube. the first thing i do when i wake up is to go to cytube, search for a channel that plays something i like and then leave it running in the background like tv. i have been a hikki for so long its simply unthinkable to ever live a normal life, so instead i spend most of my time searching for ways to improve my hikki life. i pretty much wasted the whole last week just browsing amazon and ebay. the only thing i can imagine is trading the hikki life for the hermit life, but that would require a lot of money. like my dream would be a self sufficient farm on my own island or something. not that i have any strenght or stamina left to actually do the required work but maybe i could get it back with some miraculous work out routine. i still havent given up hope but every day starts with dread about the future and i feel absolutely helpless, thoughts of death keep coming up more and more. i think a dog could greatly improve my life but it just isnt possible in my small apartment in the middle of the city.

this is sort of a crosspost.

lurking and thinking of what to reply to posts but too apathetic to actually reply. i want to contribute, but i cant. im afraid of replies, afraid of this world and of the people in it. i dont want to be here anymore, there is nothing i like here for me. sleep and death are the only escape.

i often write up huge walls of text and end up not getting a single reply and after a few times in a row i simply stop bothering with trying to contribute. especially because my OCD makes me very uncomfortable about every post i make, its just not worth the trouble and the huge amount of time i need to make my posts.

my other problem is, i cant let go of cuckchan. its like an ingrained reflex to go there every few minutes after browsing that cursed site for over a decade for most of my day. its like how a lot of people browse their social network feeds on mobile phones in public whenever they are idle, you just scroll and scroll to look at threads but its all so random and retarded that you dont have anything meaningful to contribute, yet you keep lurking. its purely trash but whenever you think you found something worthwhile and finally feel like posting you realize midway that youre surrounded by humanoid puppets and any effort you put into your post is wasted, so you just stop five seconds into solving that cancer captcha and close the tab. then you hope that in the meantime someone made a post on one of your dead boards where people can still have meaningful conversations but all your motivation to contribute has already been drained by now, so you go back to scrolling trough more meaningless trash a few minutes later.

i wish i could back to the time i was able to watch anime and play computer games all day long.

I still find myself checking reddit a few times a day. Despite despising the culture and user base on the site, it is still possible to occasionally find good content. It's kind of like pulling a slot machine, but instead of money your spending time. Gambling for the hope of finding good content.

I wish independence was easier. Right now, civilization is this frail mess with everyone having to walk on eggshells. If the power grid went down, or anything else stopped supermarkets from stocking food, hundreds of millions would starve to death.

Electricity is the big problem. If that was solved, the rest would be comparatively easy: water could be produced by atmospheric condensation, and food could be produced by aquaponics. I have no idea how decentralized power generation would work, though. We're nowhere near Mr. Fusion, and I don't think that microwave satellite thing China is doing would work on a household basis. Maybe geothermal energy or something?

I'm the same way. Kinda thought I was the only one, given how effortless writing posts seems to be for practically everyone else, at least to my anyway. I've always felt immensely drained after writing anything, but especially so after shitting out numerous walls of text from my addled brain. Basically as if I had just ran a 100+ mile triathlon, as far as mental exhaustion is concerned. Either no one replies and I wonder why I even bothered to expend the energy in the first place, or someone does reply and then I have to feel the stress of needing to reply back, which requires even more energy I don't have. I also, almost always, procrastinate looking at any replies I've gotten out of fear it's just someone being mean to me, usually waiting a day or more before I check what it is they said. I'm also very paranoid of what other people say and look for glib insults everywhere. It's a defense mechanism, since a part of me feels as if everyone is just potentially looking to fuck with me. I feel anxious & shitty either way, so it's not like it helps. Finally even if it's a nice exchange, I still feel empty & hollow. Basically as is if I just finished talking aloud with myself in an empty room. Any catharsis or sense of empathy I feel is very short lived which, again, makes me wonder what the hell the point is in even saying anything.

Even If I choose not to post anything and just not go on message boards altogether, I just end up sitting around as all my worthless thoughts swirl in my head like a backed-up toilet with no way to release them. There's really no winning and no matter what I do, I'm tortured by my own myriad predicaments. At least in my dreams, and in the larger bliss of sleep, I'm somewhat free from it all. I don't lurk very much here or elsewhere becuase I don't have much history with the net or message boards in general and so I just feel out of place and don't bother. By and large, I just feel tired, drained & all around shitty. Outside looking in sort of thing, basically. Despite it all, I'm still glad a place for hermits like me exists on the internet, even if I can't stop feeling anxious & lacking of energy whenever I try to engage or simply lurk.

>all I can look forward too is Sekiro

Given my own considerable backlog (Witcher 3, Mankind Divided, Dark Souls 3, Prey, Dishonored 2, and tons of other shit that could fill the page), it'll probably be years before I get around to playing it. New releases always depress the hell out of me like that. Also doesn't help that I waste my time playing lots of indie crap which then puts those other aforementioned games in my backlog even further out, thereby accomplishing nothing less than shooting myself in the foot. I spent most of yesterday playing Baba Is You (some lame puzzle game) & Tyranny (a mostly okay CRPG) . I really need to prioritize things better.

couldnt have said it better, exactly how i feel. often after i have written something i get nervous about being misunderstood or misunderstanding because im not good at communicating, so im stressed out and then argue with myself about wether its worth checking the replies to avoid more stress or to give in to curiosity in hopes to get a positive reply, but just like you said its only a hollow joy because then im under the pressure of possibly having to reply again, and having to go trough all that stress once more. you cant win no matter what you do. the only reason i use message boards is because otherwise i would sleep all day and that just fucks too much with my mind which makes me panic about not waking up anymore (i live alone, nobody would check on me)

They do to an extent, but finding the motivation to actually sit down and play something is really the larger problem, at least for me anyway. Even then, for the last few years now, I've found there's still a niggling sense of restless discomfort that remains, regardless of how hypnotized I am in a game. I've been binging on gaming practically everyday for over 15 years now. At this point, it's just a desperate, sorrowfully weak measure to escape from myself & pretend I don't exist, than something I truly enjoy and have fun doing. Being awake is more an endurance test than anything else. I just grit my teeth and bear it, futilely screaming inside for a release, until, after however many slow, agonizingly empty hours pass, I eventually have enough fatigue to just fall asleep, only for the ordeal to start all over again when I wake up. Words really can't convey how awful it is. And then it's only going to get worse since, being almost 28, I'm pretty much losing the only thing I've ever had. That being my youth and, with it, the last flicker of hope for any kind of joy, affection or sense of things I've wasted, pissed away and squandered. Nobody gives a shit about anybody, least of all some smelly, hate filled hermit like me. I'm doomed to languish in my own misery for, possibly, decades to come. Which itself is enough to make my head explode with hysterical madness just thinking about it. Oh well.

i have realized that i get really depressed while sleeping which is why i have extremely crippling dreams, but as soon as i wake up those feelings vanish and my depression doesnt seem that bad. i wonder if this is connected to natural melatonin levels, because i have been thinking of picking up some sleep medication to help with my insomnia, but if the melatonin will make it only worse id rather find something else to help me with sleeping.

I ordered some thick fiberglass, welding blankets to hang over my door, in the hopes they might dampen the noise from outside my room. They just showed up the other day and will probably try to put them up soon. I hope they work. I also have some interior weather stripping I can try to apply around the door frame as well. I'm just worried the door won't shut properly if I use it.

Cried again last night. Alone, in the middle of night, in the darkness of my room, as I was laying down to go to sleep. I don't cry very often and, until early last year, was something I'd only done once in over a decade, not long after my cat died back in 2016. Nowadays, however, I find myself doing it a lot, relative to the past. This life gets to me in ways I wish it didn't. I'm lonely & I'm tired. Tired of feeling like shit every god damn day. I wish I could just keep on crying until my heart gave out. I'm trapped inside myself, serving a life sentence in a universe I have no place in, nor wish to have any place in. A bad dream I keep waking up into. Just waiting for the end to come. That's all I'm doing. I never say what I really want to say. I want to find the words so bad, but my mind can't conjure them up. It's all very frustrating.

I didn't know where to bring this subject up, but its /pol/ related sort of.

I'm being increasingly worried about the liberties of freedom of speech being taken away from the internet because that's the only place where I can talk to people. I'm not fully /pol/ (because I don't really read often and mostly watch anime, and plus I'm bad at communicating or making arguments in general) but I do like watching a few short videos time to time about current events and such with dark humor and tones (or "edgy" as normalfags like to describe them). I'm getting more and more worried about the right being de-platformed with paypal restricting people to use their services because of wrong think, or social media bannings over the pettiest things. Don't get me started on the EU, I don't know how anyone can survive there right now.

Mainstream media like movies and shows are so fucking garbage. I don't remember the last time I watched television or went to watch a movie in the theaters.

Sorry, I don't really know how to write up my post- but I'm getting more and more worried and anxious about what I will do without the internet.

If the internet were to disappear, what would you all do? I'm too chicken-shit to kill myself though- but we'll see.

It's an educated guess, but I'd say that the internet itself won't be taken down so long as the global banking cartels rely on it for their financial infrastructure. Anyone who refuses to parrot NWO narratives will continue to be banned by hosts and payment processors, sure, but I think that the result there will be the same as with the takedown efforts of the MPAA/RIAA/ESA back in the day: everyone affected will simply move to more durable systems. In the coming days you'll likely see more and more sites start to list Tor addresses as a way to access them in case they get taken down, and you'll probably end up having to do so in some cases. Eventually things will reach the point where any non-vapid website will require darkweb access, and sheer demand will make it a standard feature, like popup blocking. Likewise, the political activism of payment processors will simply drive everyone to cryptocurrency.

Of course, this doesn't exclude the possibility of targeted/mass infrastructure attacks, but those are generally related to the power grid (e.g. Venezuela), which is a seperate subject, although a related one since widespread loss of power would affect internet access (in addition to the more dire problems of food, clean water, and fuel).

It's weird how a little bit of hope can change so much. My financial circumstances have recently changed for the better, and when i imagine killing myself i no longer feel the need. Hope is so odd, no matter how much you try to kill it or temper it with cynicism it stays. All of my knowledge I've accumulated in life tells me that this hope is going to crash and itl he worse than it was before. But despite all of that, I'm still cant shake this new hope I got when my life improved.

The root of all of this is money. Despite me more or less dedicating my life to not being shackled by it. But it seems like its tendrils are intertwinned with your heart at birth. I wonder if my parents were alright with supporting my meager life forever I'd still have all these feeling. I's probably just focus on another reason to be miserable.

I'd say it's more the certainty and stability that it gives you. Financial security is security, especially when it's your only source of more basic needs like food and shelter.

I've accepted that my purpose in life is opening jars that are too difficult for my mother to open. I used to think that this was pathetic and a waste of life but not anymore. Not everyone has to be a war hero or a doctor. I'm a human jar opener and I'm ok with that. I'm not proud of it, but I'm not ashamed either. Someone has to open those jars and if I wasn't here they would've remained close. This is my life and I embrace it.

On the topic of learning Japanese, if there's one thing I would do over it would be to start reading from day one since getting good is mostly down to how much input you get. It's actually quite easy because there are popup dictionary browser addons that make looking up words very simple. You're not going to understand much at first but it's important to remember that you only get better at reading by reading. You can use whatever supplementary materials you like but as long as you spend at least an hour every day reading or listening to native content you really can't go wrong. You should check out the DJT on /jp/, the thread is terrible but they have a large archive of manga/novels/study resources and at least a few of the posters do know what they're talking about. There is also a youtuber named MattvsJapan who knows Japanese to a very high level and might be worth watching. He has his own method.

Random thought that's a bit dated to bring up I suppose, but it's funny how, when TLJ came out, one of the major gripes seemingly everyone, on the internet anyway, had with it, even extending most infamously to Mark Hamill himself, was the decision to turn Luke into a bitter, ultra defeatist, passionless old hermit, bereft of any of the qualities he had before. I realize people were largely upset because it was basically character assassination in their eyes and, even beyond that, the whole concept of him being this withered, deeply depressed shadow of his former self, was done extremely poorly/lazily, without much justification. Despite it all though, I've always thought how when people complain about Luke being this pitifully sad hermit, in all those countless rant laden videos out there lambasting every nook & cranny of the TLJ, it's betraying the real contempt/disdain/bemusement most people have for actual sad sack hermits like myself since, in almost all ways, the writers literally just turned that character (Luke) into me. "He's so weak!", they all say, "He just wants to die? He's such a coward! He's so self-absorbed! How on Earth could he have been made to be this pathetic!!?? ". So many snide, condescending remarks & judgements against, both the character & bad writing, yes, but also, by extension, all those who hide away in isolation. Personally, I wipe my ass with their petty revulsion and resent all what has been said in regards to Luke's change in character, beyond the bad writing which, admittedly, is a huge factor. "Luke needed to shake off his ridiculous hermity ways and come save the day and recover himself as the real Luke Skywalker!". At the very least, I realize that's basically all these people wanted. Not some battered & bungled soul, long tired of existing in the universe any longer, followed ultimately by him leaving it all behind and fading out silently & alone. Again, I realize it's just that all that was done badly and, ideally, could have all worked with a better script, but even still. It wouldn't change the unspoken scorn/contempt everyday people, or even obscure internet personalities, have for hermits, especially given how much it was all on display after everyone lost their collective minds about the TLJ we all got. I guess, in some sense, it comes as no surprise that a hikikomori/hermit is met with nothing less than disgust/pity from these rotten fuckers. In the end, I don't really give a shit about SW, but these scum who deride/mock Luke for being a hermit deserved everything they got. To hell with them and their worthless franchise. I'm glad Luke was transformed into a grim recluse, if only to piss off all these stupid assholes. "But, he's so pathetic! Luke shouldn't be such a downer, shutting himself away like this! People who do that are worthless!!!!" Hahaha, well fuck you too, god damn smelly apes, it disgusts me that I'm the same species as you. I hope you all burn alive, while TLJ plays on repeat in the background. Jake Skywalker & myself cackling all the while.

As far as I'm concerned, Star Wars is just three movies and some video games, so I don't know much about that. I will never even bother watching anything new. But to me that sounds perfectly realistic. Current fans of the series are complete normalfags, so they can't fathom how fucked up reality actually is, and how people that look behind the veil of reality would end up breaking because of the horrors that they have seen. They can't understand how time and experience can change someone, and why they would do something like that, and why they wouldn't want to get involved in people's retarded conflicts and struggles ever again. They never ask themselves what happened to Luke that could turn him into what he currently is. The Star Wars world is not that different from ours. The way that I see it is that it's a world that is incapable of balance, inhabited by people that are obsessed with enforcing their own visions of what a balanced world would be, without realizing that they are themselves unbalanced, unstable, and incomplete.

The concept of the Force itself represents that. It's a constant hopeless, pointless struggle between two aspects of reality, both of which are flawed. Both sides believe that they represent some form of balance, because they are all narrow-minded idiots that don't understand nuance, but in reality, the Force itself is opposed to balance, and in a way is the true enemy. It's a world of idiots that try to deny their own nature, and some of these idiots lose control and end up turning into huge destructive forces with no self-restraint (like a retarded sexually repressed Catholic turning into a rapist, or a dumbass pacifist that would never throw a punch in defense of himself, for his own sanity, but ends up losing his mind and becoming a spree killer, and then getting shot by the cops). Meanwhile, the idiots that manage to not do that, are too busy repressing themselves and being passive to do anything good. The Jedi are just a repressive force. Like a bunch of moralfags that are constantly spreading moral panic and making everything worse. Not constructive at all, while the Sith are an unrestrained, destructive force of chaos that tends to cause a lot of pointless cruelty, and tyranny. Just a bunch of idiots trying to push a pendulum in a certain direction, and the ones that can't handle that end up trying to push it in the opposite direction, and whenever the pendulum swings, regardless of the direction, everything on its path is destroyed, to the point that it would be better if no one moved the pendulum at all, or even better, if it didn't exist, even though the world would still probably be bad even then. Our world is exactly like that.

I barely even think about Star Wars nowadays, so I can't talk about it that much, but I remember that KotOR2 presented the most interesting extreme solution, which would be destroying the Force itself. Those games were pretty cool. The extended universe is what kept this series interesting, in the past. The movies tended to be binary, so it was always interesting to explore something outside of that. But yeah, I can see why Luke would become kind of a nihilist if he realized that basically all of existence is a mistake, and that the struggles of his predecessors were all wrong, and bad for everyone involved. This is probably the closest thing to a solution that he could find. Then again, we are talking about Disney here. Can't expect a whole lot of philosophy from those people. It wouldn't surprise me if they did just want to make him look pathetic, and any meaning that you can derived from their work is probably unintentional. Personally, if I took Luke's place, I would probably just hide from the world and never get involved in any conflicts again, and just try to find personal happiness. So funnily enough, even being a psychic with laser swords wouldn't make me leave my room. That's all I have to say, because I will never watch the new movies, and from my perspective it's a pretty small franchise, but it's still interesting to think about.

I guess he might as well be, at least according to most people. Mark Hamill himself being the first to describe it as such, since it was such a jarring shock for him, that he simply referred to the character as Jake Skywalker, instead of Luke Skywalker. "This isn't my Luke Skywalker, this is Jake Skywalker, or something.", being his exact words, I believe. Just another example of how to be someone who remains isolated from the world and has a bleak view of things, is seen as nothing more than an "autistic hermit" to most people, resting basically at the bottom of the barrel in their respective world view. Water is wet, I know. Just felt like ranting about it anyway, I guess.

>>7474

Great post. I agree completely with everything you just said. I wish I had more to add, but that's a pretty usual problem for me, so sorry for that.

Anyway, like you, beyond the OT & a number of the games (Dark Forces, Jedi Knight/Academy, Empire At War, Republic Commando, OG Battlefront, and so many others, even obscure ones for the PS1 like Phantom Menace & Jedi Power Battles) I could honestly care less about Star Wars and have no interest in it whatsoever. I've also never seen the new films (aside from torrenting Rogue One on a whim), and have no intention to ever do so, but, even still, I have watched a few of the long rants people have made tearing them apart, mostly out of morbid curiosity. It's pretty clear to see that Luke being a bitter hermit was just a lazy attempt to "subvert expectations", the now notoriously popular phrase that it is these days, but I don't know. Just something about the way people shat on this new "Jake Skywalker", just rubbed me wrong, and has for a while, which is why I finally decided to fart out a useless, messy post about it. Either way I, like many others I assume, would've loved to see something involving destroying the force once & for all and ending the binary, dogmatically dualistic mayhem of the Sith & Jedi, which, itself, would also perfectly justify Luke being the way he is, in an interesting/compelling way. Based on what I could glean from rants, it seems TLJ sort of leaned into this a little bit, but very quickly screwed it up/abandoned it, much like Jake/Luke Skywalker's development beyond, inexplicably wanting to murder his nephew, on the suspicion that he probably, might, maybe, end up turning to the dark side, which is also most of the lame reason why he's a hermit, to atone for his "failure". Anyway, in the end I just don't like listening to people shit on hermits, which is, essentially, what all this boils down to for me. Silly yes, but, again, whatever. Nothing to see here.

I didn't know any of that, because I'm legitimately out of touch with everything current except anime (just a little bit, very rarely watch anything new) and some manga. I hate people so much that I almost want to hate Star Wars, but then I remember that I can't, and feel like playing KotOR or the SNES trilogy again, or something. Maybe watching the movies again, or that awesome original Clone Wars cartoon by the creator of Samurai Jack, Dexter's Laboratory and Powerpuff Girls, that people don't know because there is a new one now, that has the same name for some reason, like always (probably happened to Battlefront as well). Haven't watched that in way too long. And everything else that the guy made back in the day, when the present wasn't completely miserable, and absolutely worth avoiding. But yes, there is nothing that I hate more when something new has the same name as something old. That's just a transparent attempt of destroying and replacing the past. Well, maybe I hate remakes of things that were already good (just to make them NEW for the normalfags) even more. Surprised that they haven't done that to Star Wars. Yet.

Now about the actual movie, that justification for reclusion is not nearly as interesting as the one that I imagined. As expected, I guess. I assume that even the people making the movie were just trying to make Luke look bad. Just trying to downplay everything related to the originals because "who could possibly care about something this old?", and "just keep wasting money on NEW THINGS, because they are NEW, and new is always better". The same mentality that has ruined pretty much everything, in the last 10 years. I absolutely can't stand the way that normal people think. I guess that's why I tend to like people that are into old computers, or classic anime or movies, or old games (including people that compete in tournaments for old arcade games, like you see in Japan), or even things that I'm not into that are not just the thing that you are expected to pay attention to right now. It's because they are clearly immune to that. Unless it's just a normalfag following a trend. I hate that as well, of course. People like that have destroyed almost everything. It will probably happen to anime in a few years. Political bullshit will be involved, of course.

>like many others I assume

I doubt that normalfags want to see anything that goes beyond a generic good (generic dehumanized heroes) vs evil story, or anything in particular, really, because they are only interested in the superficial and in keeping up with new garbage from a series that the media said you should know. They weren't around when the extended universe was a thing, after all (not that I'm one of those old really big fans of the series that know all the lore or anything, I just played some games and watched some movies, and thought about them a little bit, I was never one of those guys, but I can imagine how miserable they feel). Unless they think it's edgy, or something. If it gets slightly complex and has actual themes going on, chances are they won't like it, or at the very least won't even notice them. They probably just want some generic story with no nuance. Maybe just a copy of the originals, except that the Emperor is Donald Trump this time, and Darth Vader is whoever else happens to be controversial right now (I have avoided the news for long enough that I fortunately don't know), or something, because everything has to include current political retardation that doesn't matter. They think that things like that are deep, I guess, because they are shallower than a puddle. Not that I care too much as long as I can avoid knowing about it. That's how I deal with these problems. I just avoid finding information about anything that normal people care about. Occasionally someone posts "have you been living under a rock?", and I enjoy that, because the answer is yes. My only regret is that because of this way of life, I can't watch everything as soon as it comes out and spread spoilers as much as I can. The only thing I know about the new movies is that Han Solo dies, and it's because some of us are true heroes, and they made sure that everyone on this planet knew about that as soon as possible.

Once again, I don't have much to add, but I honestly can't help, but smack my forehead over forgetting to mention that original Clone Wars cartoon, which I absolutely love. That show was truly amazing. The action sequences especially, just blew my ever loving mind as a kid. I remember when they were originally just 5-10 minute shorts and how I must've watched each one about 20-40 times each, at least. That one with the elite Arc troopers blowing up that cannon was especially kick ass. Then you had the ones with Mace Windu punching the shit out of super battle droids, or that one with Kit Fisto helping the Mon Calamari. Just superb stuff, at least as far as the spectacle was concerned. Funny how both volumes of the series do so such a ridiculously better job of both portraying the Clone Wars and Anakin's violent/aggressive tendencies leading him eventually to the dark side, like his duel with Ventress, a great villain in her own right, that vision he has in the cave where he sees his arm consume him into Vader, followed by him then force choking the shit out of that Trade Federation member later on, crushing his throat and brutally murdering him in the process. And then there's General Grevious. Holy shit, was he done so much more justice in Genndy's Clone Wars, instead of the wheezing buffoon he is in RotS. Here he was actually downright menacing and was basically like the fucking terminator, as he relentlessly chased down those Jedi on Coruscant, and toyed with those bunch in that crashed ship. Besides Samurai Jack, another show of his that I absolutely adored as a kid, I think the Clone Wars is hands down his best work. And for me, that's saying something, given how much I watched both Samurai Jack & Dexter's Lab, as a kid. Was never much of a fan of PowerPuff Girls, though. As an aside to Samurai Jack, I'm not sure if you felt the same way, but I found the final season a couple years ago to be rather disappointing.I just wasn't much of a fan of Ashi, frankly, and strongly thought, and still do, that she took too much time away from Jack's storyline. I'm also one of the few who think the conclusion from the graphic novel would've been a far better choice for the ending, whereas the one in the show was just lame, rushed, illogical and totally anticlimactic by comparison. It also bothered me how Aku was still the same goofball he always was, despite Jack himself being given more depth & more mature dilemmas to face. It felt extremely uneven, like Genndy wanted to have his cake & eat it too. Really the whole thing just felt rushed & undercooked, with too much emphasis being put in the wrong places. I find it downright hilarious that Genndy was trying for so long to make it a movie. Bloody hell, that would've been awful. Anyway, I can't tell you how much I'd love to see Genndy's version of the prequel trilogy. Genndy truly made it his own and, in some ways, it doesn't even feel like Star Wars, in the traditional sense, to me. More like Genndy's fantasy sci-fi space adventure. These days though, I almost wonder if Genndy's lost his touch. Especially given with how he closed out Samurai Jack. Making those damn Hotel Transylvania movies clearly must've dulled his creative impulses.

Aside from watching that last season of Samurai Jack a couple years ago & GoT (what a flaming travesty that turned out to be, let me tell you), I too, don't really watch much recent stuff. Last western cartoon I watched, beyond Samurai Jack, was Avatar way back when it first came out. I really liked it back then, but I'm honestly not sure how I'd feel about it now. I tried watching Korra back in 2012, but it just wasn't the same and I quickly lost interest (I have a huge folder of lewd material of her though, since I find her to be very attractive for a cartoon character, I also like her hair and clothing especially)

As for recently, I watched "The Wailing" not too long ago (a South Korean thriller), which came out in 2016, I believe, but that's about it. For more contemporary films, I tend to watch somewhat smaller stuff like Leave No Trace, Mandy or Annihilation. It's a very spur of the moment thing.

For the most part however I, like yourself, am basically just watching old anime I never got around to starting until now. As of late, I finally got through all of Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion, Haibane Renmei and, most recently, Berserk. Still debating with myself whether I should read all of the manga, since I'm about 3 chapters in at the moment out of a whopping 358, or whatever it is. Crazy how it's still frigging going after all this time. I also watched Cyber City Oedo 808 & Redline just the other day. Probably going to watch either Samurai Champloo, Bubblegum Crisis, or Ghost in The Shell Stand Alone Complex next (wasn't much of a fan of the 1995 film, to be honest). There's also Jin-Ro & Ninja Scroll as far as films are concerned. As it is, I've been pretty sporadic over these last few years as far as how much anime, and just stuff in general, I've watched. Personally speaking, watching NHK for the first time back in 2016 is what really got me back into watching anime again. Since then, mostly taking place last year, I've seen stuff like Ergo Proxy, Texhnolyze, Serial Experiments Lain, Death Note, and every last scrap of Satoshi Kon's amazing work. I also got around to finally watching some of the various Studio Ghibli films I hadn't seen before, beyond the stuff I watched over & over again as a kid like Totoro & Kiki. Experiencing Spirited Away for the first time pretty much made me suicidally depressed for like a week afterwards. Ghibli films tend to do that to me, which, in my case, makes them quite difficult to watch. Not even Grave of the Fireflies affected me in such a way, although I didn't really find it to be as depressing as everyone made it out to be. I really, really, liked Nausicaa, though, and, in addition to Berserk, is a manga I'd really like to read at some point. Besides those two, along with re-watching Princess Mononoke, I still haven't watched the rest of Ghibli's films, or even re-watched the rest of the ones I've seen, since it'd be too painful to do so.

Growing up in Canada, with only basic cable and a very limited internet connection, made watching any kind of anime a bit of a challenge. Besides Inuyasha & Dragonball Z, there really wasn't much to choose from. YTV used to air Ninja Scroll late at night, I believe, but I never managed to catch it. They also aired Princess Mononoke at one point, but I only managed to see the end of it. I would've absolutely loved to have something like Toonami here in Canada, but alas. Naturally, none of it matters much now, though.

Funny how, before I really started watching anime again, I basically just watched old samurai films all the time. Stuff like Goyokin, Samurai Rebellion, Harakiri, Sword of Doom, Kill, along with all of Kurosawa's stuff, even including his non-samurai related films like High & Low, Stray Dog, and Red Beard. There's also some other really good old films from Japan like Tokyo Story & The Woman in The Dunes.As an aside, it's been a while since I've seen it, but I wish could be in a situation similar what takes place in Woman In The Dunes. To have someone like that love me, and actually want for me to remain by their side, as we're both trapped together in some sandy pit. The last thing I'd ever want to do is escape, but there I go again with my vain fantasies.

Anyway, ultimately, I'd like to be less inert and try and watch more stuff, especially given how much time I have on my hands. In a lot of ways, there's really no justifiable reason not to, beyond apathy & depression making it feel like way more of an effort than it should be. It's a frustrating predicament, but I'm pretty used to those, at this point.

I remember all that, and I haven't watched it in over a decade. It was absolutely incredible, and basically proved that the prequels were wasted potential, not just complete crap, because I'm sure that someone like Genndy Tartakovsky could have made that story work a lot better. It's all about the execution and how the characters are used. Grievous is a great example. He is an absolute monster in Clone Wars. Really fun villain.

>As an aside to Samurai Jack, I'm not sure if you felt the same way,

I actually still haven't watched it. I'm the kind of guy that is always really late for everything. I haven't consciously avoided spoilers because that doesn't bother me, but I don't know how it ends. Maybe I heard about it a little bit, because I know that people liked it, but I don't know what actually happens. If it's anticlimatic, that doesn't necessarily bother me as long as getting to the end is worth it. In a way, living up to the hype was impossible to begin with. I have fairly high hopes, but I don't expect to be surprised by how it ends.

>It also bothered me how Aku was still the same goofball he always was

I don't know if he should change, to be honest. He's just this eternal embodiment of evil. In a way, he is change itself, so it makes sense for him to be basically an eternal being that never changes. Or changes so slowly that humans can't even tell the difference.

>Anyway, I can't tell you how much I'd love to see Genndy's version of the prequel trilogy. Genndy truly made it his own and, in some ways, it doesn't even feel like Star Wars, in the traditional sense, to me. More like Genndy's fantasy sci-fi space adventure.

Again, I do believe that he could have saved that story, and Clone Wars proves that, since it's in the same setting and includes a lot of the same characters.

>These days though, I almost wonder if Genndy's lost his touch.

I blame the times.

>Last western cartoon I watched, beyond Samurai Jack, was Avatar way back when it first came out.

I have never watched Avatar somehow. My last was the first season of Ben 10 when it came out, I think. Somehow I ended up watching that, even though I didn't watch TV at all at that point. It was pretty cool, actually. I must have seen it somewhere, and decided to give it a chance because it looked good.

>I have a huge folder of lewd material of her though, since I find her to be very attractive for a cartoon character

This reminds me of something. It's true that I am generally out of touch, but there is an exception to that. I tend to know what everything is (or at least associate the title with some character) because I have always seen porn of it. You mentioned Hotel Transylvania as well, and I have no idea what that is, but I have seen it as a tag more than a few times. I looked it up, and naturally, it doesn't look anything like I expected it to.

>>7478

>Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion, Haibane Renmei and, most recently, Berserk

Good stuff. Just from reading this, it's pretty clear that you're on a similar direction. The old Berserk anime is great, and the OP gets stuck in my head (including the visuals) pretty frequently, because it makes me feel things that I can't even explain. I also struggle with the manga. Not because it's long, but because of the hiatuses. You should probably just read up to a certain point and then stop. To me, 300 chapters is not a big deal at all. Watching anime takes a lot longer than reading manga, and I have rewatched some pretty long anime way more times that I should have. So, 300 chapters of something new is nothing (I have read more than 100 chapters of at least two different manga that I can rememeber in one sitting (not very healthy, but it only happened a few times), so 300 is not a big deal and doesn't take that long, even if you read only a few chapters a day). The problem is that the hiatuses may end up hurting the overall experience, and I want to avoid that (I have been a fan of the Hunter X Hunter manga, made by the Hiatus King himself, for a long time, so I definitely don't need more of that). Another example of that is Vagabond. I have wanted to read that for longer than I can remember, but when I decided to finally do it, I realized that the hiatuses were way worse than I expected. I'm pretty sure that it will never end. I will read it if it does, or when the author inevitably dies of old age, because the fact that something will never end doesn't bother me. Now, an example of something incredibly long that will almost definitely never end, and that I have wanted to read for a long time, is Golgo 13 . I don't even think most of it is translated, actually, but that's a common problem, as you know, and this manga started in 1968, so you can imagine how long it is, with a total of 192 volumes, according to Wikipedia. But you might have expected me to say One Piece. I may end up reading that too, though, eventually, but Golgo 13 puts that to shame.

>I've been pretty sporadic over these last few years as far as how much anime, and just stuff in general, I've watched

I'm not very consistent either. I haven't been watching anime very much lately (though I did rewatch Gundam just a while ago, the original compilation movies to be specific, because I just think they have a better pacing for rewatches), because I had been in a manga mood for a few months, and now I'm reading LNs again (remember when LNs were good?). I haven't read anything like that since after I read Haruhi before the second season aired. Boogiepop got me back into it, though. I ended up reading it because it sounded just like my kind of thing, and I wanted to watch the Boogiepop Phantom anime, but I knew that it was a sequel to the first LN, and it's more of an extra anyway. It was exactly my kind of thing (maybe you would like it as well), and made me realize a lot things about myself. Now I will keep reading LNs (well, the older ones, because nowadays they are just pure garbage, made for a quick buck, by people that can't write), because I know that some specific authors wrote a lot of really crazy shit, so now I have a new hobby. Way too many things to do, but I can't know that there are batshit insane books out there and not find and read them.

>Besides Inuyasha & Dragonball Z,

I watched those back in the day as well, though I probably had more access to anime than most people (and I knew about a lot of things that I couldn't watch, thanks to the internet). Dragon Ball is fun and I have watched it probably more than 10 times, in the past (a good example of a huge anime that I watched multiple times, though I have watched Yu Yu Hakusho more, back in the early days of downloading anime, but that's much shorter), but as soon as Freeza starts fighting, the writing objectively goes to shit. Before that, it's really good. After that, it's still fun. Definitely a classic, even though normalfags make it look bad. I consider watching it again while I try to read the manga in Japanese (though I would probably do that with Dr. Slump first, because I assume that Toriyama in general is easy to read). Inuyasha, on the other hand, is supposed to be boring and repetitive. I liked it back in the day, but from what I remember, that seems likely to be the truth. But I still think the characters look pretty cool, even now.

>I basically just watched old samurai films all the time

The amount of movies that I have watched is incredibly tiny. It would be difficult to find someone that has watched fewer movies than I have. I really should change that, but I also can't deny that I have always been more into animation. Other than Star Wars and some random movies here and there, I have only watched classic monster movies. Like the Universal horror stuff, like Dracula, Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, The Invisible Ray, that kind of thing. That kind of story really works for me, for some reason, maybe some kind of simplicity. On the Japanese side of things, just Godzilla. I should watch more Japanese movies, because I'm sure that they make a lot of interesting stuff. American movies became incredibly generic after a certain point, but Japanese people probably never stopped making weird things. I have to watch more movies in general. Never felt the need to do that, but listening to people that are really passionate about classic movies made me feel the need to explore that more. Before that, I just saw movies as a normalfag thing, but people like that made me actually respect movies as a hobby. It was the first hobby that normalfags destroyed, actually.

Fucking hell, I'm just like both of you, escapism isn't working as well as it did when I was younger, I just can't watch anime and movies anymore and I can barely play vidya. The only thing that stops the constant suicidal thoughts is a few youtube channels, fapping every once in a while and daydreaming.

> Pass the time the easiest way possible. Video games and anime titties

Harem, SoL, romance and ecchi anime used to make me feel like shit when I tried to watch them. Vidya still kinda works but its really hard to muster the motivation to play games nowadays, it feels so pointless. Funny webm though.

Haven't watched many movies either. Can't even watch modern western movies after knowing what's up in the industry, and besides modern cinema is shit anyway. Forced diversity, politics and very deep plots about Oppressed Minority against Evil Nazis or a Strong Independent Woman standing up against Literally Hitler.

Star Wars to me is episode 1-6 and the good games. The new Star Wars doesn't exist. Haven't watched any of the new movies, but I've read and watched enough of others complaining about them to know that I hate the stroy and all of the new characters.

>>7476

>Unless it's just a normalfag following a trend. I hate that as well, of course. People like that have destroyed almost everything. It will probably happen to anime in a few years. Political bullshit will be involved, of course.

Already happening, with netflix involvement, netflix giving normalfags access, normaldyke feminists getting upset over cartoons they don't even watch and all. Didn't Sword Art Online's creator say he would cater more to western demands of political correctness in the future? Not a series I care for but still.

Same, but for me watching an episode of some anime a day is pretty much the only thing that's enjoyable still and that I can pull myself together enough to do. I'd like to waste time on video games, reading or whatever, but most time goes to watch youtube videos, lurking or to just sit and stare.

I'm in the same boat. There are a lot of methods out there for learning Japanese. I've seen MattvsJapan, and while I don't currently use all of his methods. Matt is very self-effacing and honest. Both good qualities when deciding a technique if right for you to adopt.

I'd recommend looking at a lot different strategies and cherry-pick what you feel you can actually work with. For example there is program (in the rule bound schedule sense) for learning Japanese Developed and used by the US Military. It's very intense. You learn Hiragana and Katakana in about 2 days. To do this successfully you have to extremely disciplined; no surprise it's the military. For myself, as a Hikki, I have to balance the desire of speaking Japanese with the reality that it's a lot of work to learn a language. I'm not saying that it can't be achieved. But it doesn't happen over night. Because it doesn't happen over night, to stick with what ever you decide to use, you need to be able to do it regularly and to jump back into what you were doing easily if you end up taking a break.

There are many different resources to learn Japanese made available though the Internet, so try to pick things that are easy to keep up with, in the scene that your not going to end up overwhelm and cancel trying to become proficient.

>Can't even watch modern western movies after knowing what's up in the industry,

I have never been a fan of movies in general until I watched some old stuff. I thought movies were just boring, before that, so I only watched cartoons (well, when they were still good, most of them) and anime. As cartoons kinda died and downloading anime became viable, I just stopped watching anything else. Nowadays I realize that there are a lot of good movies out there, but mostly from before I was born, and very likely to be in black and white. Movies from today, on the other hand, wouldn't interest me even if they weren't made for political reasons. Pretty much everything is made for normalfags, and almost everything that I hear about sounds boring and/or generic. It just doesn't interest me. Also, animation is a lot more expressive and interesting than anything realistic. Admittedly, that is a sign of autism, but I can't even imagine how someone could possibly disagree.

>netflix involvement, netflix giving normalfags access

Well, I blame Crunchyroll as well, but Netflix is worse because they are clearly trying to turn anime into a global thing (inevitably leading to it losing its original appeal, and becoming just like all the rest of the crap that normalfags watch). Only normalfags don't pirate anime. Except maybe people that buy physical media, but I question even that since it's generally an inferior choice to just pirating, and it can easily go wrong if it wasn't made with fidelity in mind. Buying stuff from Japan is different, but in that case you have to know Japanese, so you are already a weeb god. Can't talk shit about people like that. Personally, I just pirate everything. It takes space, though, so I tend to prefer 720p for new anime and 480p for old anime (that I watch on a CRT anyway).

>I'd like to waste time on video games, reading or whatever,

You have to force yourself to do things. That's what I do, and even then I waste most of my time. I guess it's because we have too much time, so we don't feel that much pressure to use it well (though I don't think I necessarily do fewer things than I did before). Also, it's good to have more than one hobby. It's good to have a lot of interests in general. If you only do one thing for too long, you are definitely going to get sick of it. When I was only interested in anime and video games, a really long time ago, that would happen constantly.

>but most time goes to watch youtube videos, lurking

I do that and I hate the fact that I do it. Of course, I did learn a lot from watching videos, but that's not an excuse because for the most part, especially considering that I rewatch things that I like, constantly. Honestly, I would love to have no internet connection. But I can't do that, because I will probably go completely insane from having no one to talk to. Then again, being even less sane could be a solution. Maybe my need to be rational is irrational. Maybe being sane is a mistake.

>>7488

>To do this successfully you have to extremely disciplined

Then I have no chance. I can be a little bit disciplined, but not that much. I just have to find a better method for me. Maybe just forcing myself to read. The biggest problem is kanji, I guess. I already know hiragana and katakana (well, I struggle a little bit with katakana, because of how difficult to distinguish they are, and I haven't used them as much as hiragana), knew a decent amount of grammar, and I knew maybe 300 ~ 400 words, something like that. I forgot a lot of it, though. Not idea how many kanji I memorized, but not that many.

All I really care about is knowing enough for manga, LNs, games and anime. Fluency is not even a goal at this point, because I know that it's just not worth it. It's barely even possible. In theory, games should be easier, because older games have pretty much no kanji. But I have tried to read Japanese with spaces and no kanji before, and it's a goddamn nightmare. It was really confusing, and games are not even a good choice because it just makes me want to skip all of the dialogue. Unless I'm completely mistaken, I don't think they use spaces correctly either. I think I will just try to read manga in Japanese again, but this time, something that hasn't been translated yet. It will probably motivate me a lot more, because even if I can't memorize most of it, I can still make my own translation, and I will still have read something that I can't read in English, so it will have been a good use of my time no matter what. It will feel a lot less futile, so I will be more willing to do it. The biggest problem will be to find the things that I want to read, in Japanese. Buying everything might be easier (probably not), but I don't know if I want to spend that money.

>Then I have no chance. I can be a little bit disciplined, but not

that much. I'm sorry, I only meant that the military's method for

learning Japanese requires you to be extremely disciplined.

>All I really care about is knowing enough for manga, LNs, games and

anime. Learning enough to get by with anime and manga shouldn't be

too hard. For example DuoLingo is really annoying with there constant

reminders and system for tracking your progress, really how to guilt

normies into continuing to use their site when they start to get

disinterested. But Duo has a nice schedule for learning and you can

start in at any level (skip hiragana and katakana). If you have a

smart phone, their are apps that help you memorize Kanji.

But I think something much simpler that would work better. What you

might want to try is going on google translate and take the kanji from

the manga you want to learn and create a cheat sheet. Have the cheat

sheet with you when you read the manga and at first don't give

yourself a hard time about relying on the cheat sheet. The more you

lookup that translation on the sheet, after a while, you'll just start

to remember what you used to need to look up.

This works because every time you use the cheat sheet you are then

motivated to read the meaning of the kanji because you need it to

understand the manga. And if you read the same manga a few times or

look up the same words, you'll get the benefits of growling practice

but you wont be to aware of it the moment so it shouldn't be too

unbearable. The same thing happens to me when I look up the syntax for

a python programming function that I have written 100s times and know,

but just don't trust that I know it yet.

The only reason I was even thinking about the military was because a

recruiter called me and tried to activate me during peace time. All I

wanted to do was say, "See you when China invades at induction. I'll

be the guy singing up to play DeathDrone9000 in the basement of a

military base." In the past when I used to leave the house for

college. If while at college, I was ever honest about my problems,

people just threaten violence against me, so I see no point in

aggravating people who have very different motives for interacting

with me then I can understand. So, I preferred to do slot-machining

(asking people questions about themselves so they are too busy talking

to think). This works really well and I ask him about he about

Benefits of the Military and whether the country would be going to war

any times soon. The recruiter didn't know. But what really stuck with

me is that he kept saying the military teaches good leadership

skills. Subtext: "Dude I'm owning this conversation by not taking your

aggressive marketing techniques seriously. And It's obvious that you

want me to talk about myself so that you (the recruiter) can weaponize

it into an argument to explain why my desire not to be in the military

is logically incoherent. I'm totally side stepping all of this by

giving simple answers and continuing to be polite and

slot-machine. Really now, which one of us has leadership skills?"

I don't actually have any hard feeling against the military. But I

hate assaulting other people with my baggage. Especially when it has

been used as an excuse to treat me badly in the past, so I didn't want

to be more honest about my situation then was necessary. Really I'm

not a good fit for the military. If I was being completely honest with

the recruiter I would have explained that their is still a pile of dog

shit behind me in the room I'm it and haven't had the wear-with-all to

clean it up for over a week. I put a paper towel over it and have been

ignoring it since then. I live in a perpetual state of things not

working and am fine with it: my computer is missing updates, only half

my lights work because I tried microwaving a screw driver and doing so

blown a fuse, and I have dog shit behind me. I live in a perpetually

state of accepting the state of the world. I break thing all the time

and am very comfortable with it. I only fix things when I really

really feel like it and things not working right of being jerry rigged

or not fully functioning is not concerning to me. I not the person to

put in charge of anything dangerous of important. I'm quite sure I

would not survive basic training in the military, so I think it's

actually worse for me to sing up for the military when it's obvious I

can barely manage being a civilian.

Additionally all cults (cough religious) use extroversion behaviour as

a reward for being conscientiousness, which almost no one does

naturally expect for people with OCD to some degree. I hate other

people and the longer I spend around them the more distrusting I

become of them. This is also not a good fit for the military because

the comradery of the unit would be toxic for me. A problem like that

you can't really explain to someone who is high on opium: opium makes

me sick and vomit and need to be on bed rest for weeks. Recruiter: Yes

but Opium is life and joy… it falls on death ears and sour

stomachs. It would be easer to deprogram a Jihadist, so I really don't

want to be brutally honest about how dog shit my life is and I'm doing

the military a favour by turning them down. They don't need another

rubber room case to dishonorably discharge.

>I only meant that the military's method for learning Japanese requires you to be extremely disciplined

I know. The biggest weakness of that method is that in the military, you are actually forced to do it. So it's much harder to just do that on your own.

>Learning enough to get by with anime and manga shouldn't be too hard

I think it's still insanely hard, but not quite as insane. The thing is that Japanese is too huge and too complicated for me to really study. Even if I study a lot, it will take a lot of years to be even slightly competent. That's why maybe just reading things is the superior method. It's a way to learn more passively as you use the language, so you don't have to waste so much time. Not that what I say has any value, considering how little I know.

>DuoLingo is really annoying with there constant reminders and system for tracking your progress

That sounds incredibly familiar, as you can see here, from one of my email addresses.

>If you have a smart phone

No, touchscreens are gross and dumb. At least without a stylus. I don't use normalfag technology. Clicking things on that is bad enough, but even the thought of having to actually rub my finger on a screen makes me feel a little bit disgusted. I only use computers.

>What you might want to try is going on google translate and take the kanji from the manga you want to learn and create a cheat sheet.

I have translated a lot of things online, but sometimes even that is very difficult. Many times, the translations just don't make sense. And very frequently, the lack of spaces makes that incredibly complicated. I have no idea of knowing what is a word and what is a combination of words. I just started typing a sentence a lot of the time, and the translation would just keep giving me new words as I typed more syllables. It was really confusing. I made a huge text file with everything that I translated, but it quickly got so huge that finding things in there became harder than just translating it again, after a certain point. I'm not sure that taking notes is useful, to be honest, unless it makes memorization easier, though it might be better to just write everything on paper (at least for kanji).

>The same thing happens to me when I look up the syntax for a python programming function that I have written 100s times and know, but just don't trust that I know it yet.

Actually, this kind of thing is why I know that I'm actually good at memorizing things (well, other than learning English effortlessly). Programming isn't an issue at all. I can memorize syntax pretty easily (well, I'm still pretty picky, I tend to prefer simplicity to clarity, because memorizing things is not an issue to me, though I do hate languages like Lisp, because the ((()()))))()()()()))))))(())(()))))())) shit makes my head hurt just looking at it, plus it's a very academic language, so the books about it are intolerably boring). Japanese is just that much more difficult. If Asians had to invent computers, I imagine that it would have been considerably harder, just because of how fucked up their languages are. Well, specifically Chinese. Japanese is not nearly as bad.

>while at college, I was ever honest about my problems people just threaten violence against me

Well, that's human garbage for you. Personally, I think I would have preferred that, because it would have been an excuse for me to use violence myself. In my case, no one actually gave a shit. The damage was all psychological. Personally, I will take physical risk over psychological risk any day. Most men are like that, I think. That's why this age of "violence is never the answer" is driving people crazy. People can't throw a punch anymore, so they keep tolerating abuse and end up losing their minds and shooting people that have nothing to do them. Humans are idiots. Honestly, every time that I had an excuse to use violence, I used it, and I was never even punished for it because teachers were always on my side, because they knew what was happening and didn't do shit, so they were just kinda glad that I took care of the problem (and I never hit a teacher, somehow). But I was underage. After becoming an adult, I couldn't do that anymore, so I just started going insane instead, and I became a lot more suicidal at that point. Somehow, even in college I still had a little bit of a reputation.

A few people knew about my last "fight", that wasn't really a fight. It was more of a massacre, because none of them were able to fight back at all, even though it was a group of around 10. It was that kind of group of guys that go after weird people, but always run away when violence is about to happen, so they don't even know what to do if they actually get hit. Eventually, I had what I think was some kind of anxiety attack, my vision was blurry, and I thought that everyone in the entire school was looking at me. Then I saw them again, and they were in a corner, so they couldn't run, and I regained my focus. I beat the shit out of the main guy. One of them got in the way and I just beat the shit out of him instead. None of the others did anything, they just watched, kinda paralyzed, I guess. They never bothered me again. It was risky, of course, but I didn't care. If all of them fought back, I would have been overwhelmed. I didn't know anything about fighting either (no stance, no footwork and I didn't use my weight properly). A few people in college knew about it somehow, but not many. When I was about to drop out of college, there were a few guys that I hated, but I was already 18, so I couldn't use violence anymore, so I had no outlet anymore. My negative emotions had nowhere to go to. I even punched myself in the face repeatedly before. Now I need antipsychotics to survive, because my stress and my negative emotions grew to the point that I was having panic attacks. Isn't that great? Fortunately, the medication forces my brain to release that stress better. Doesn't solve many of my problems, but it did improve that, and my anxiety is easier to deal with now. Still, it definitely doesn't make me want to leave my room at all, and it doesn't make me like people any more than I did before. I still can't stand them.

>he kept saying the military teaches good leadership skills

There are no leadership skills. Some people are natural leaders. Some people just don't want to lead and/or be led. However, most leaders are really just arrogant people that are not at all qualified to lead because they don't understand what the people that they are leading are actually doing. Just look at politicians. They feel perfectly qualified to talk about things that they know nothing about, and make laws that make no sense and that any actual expert could tear apart effortlessly in just a few arguments. People that are just trained to "be leaders" are a nuisance. Every industry on this planet has been ruined by excessive, nonsensical management and HR cunts.

>I don't actually have any hard feeling against the military.

I hate the military. I hate countries, and the vast majority of their inhabitants. Hundreds of years ago, I probably wouldn't have hated the military as much as I do now, because at the very least it didn't dehumanize its own men like today. I still see the appeal of joining the military, but I would never be able to do it. If I was forced to deal with some idiot screaming at me constantly, never talking normally, I would probably end up slitting the guy's throat eventually. I can't stand noisy people, so being stuck with people that are always like that would drive me insane. War is stupid, though. All sides are wrong.

>I live in a perpetually state of accepting the state of the world.

I don't ignore my problems quite as much as you do, because I'm at least a little bit obsessed with hygiene (I will never have pets, because of that), and I definitely have some OCD going on, but still, if I can tolerate a problem, then that's what I do. My entire setup here has been a mess for at least 6 months now. My main computer's USB ports are all fucked up for some reason, so I can't use my external hard drives here (and my other computers are much slower, so they are pretty limited), but I just ignore the problem. When I turn on my shower, the lights start flickering for some reason, so I'm just taking showers in the dark. There are a lot of holes on my pants, that other people would complain about, but I couldn't care less (all of my clothes are from at least 10 years ago, some of them even older). My phone (that is only used as an alarm clock, I don't even have a phone number) has always made high frequency noises that only I can hear, when it's being charged, but they have been getting scarier lately, probably because it's 12 years old, or something. I should probably worry about that, but I don't care. If I can ignore a problem, then I just do that until I'm annoyed enough to solve it, and have the energy to do so. If a problem can be ignored, it's not really a problem. Except that it totally is, and it's always at least a little bit annoying. But not necessarily more annoying than trying to solve it, that's for sure. And fixing things might cost money, so fuck that.

>I thought movies were just boring, before that, so I only watched cartoons (well, when they were still good, most of them) and anime

I was the same way when I was younger, didn't care for much live action at all outside of Star Wars and the occasional Mr. Bean on TV, mostly just watched cartoons (of which several of the ones I liked turned out to be Japanese). Got more interested in "real" movies while watching AVGN and Cinemassacre way back, so now I don't mind watching live action and there are several movies and TV series that I like, but even then I prefer old classics like King Kong and Godzilla. Anything made in the west from the past 20-30 years will most likely not interest me, anything from the past 10 years definitely not.

>Also, animation is a lot more expressive and interesting than anything realistic. Admittedly, that is a sign of autism

My whole life has been a sign of autism.

>pirate

That's the way to go. Books and video games I prefer physical, but with film I don't care. I have a couple or so anime DVDs that I got because I liked those series, but I would never pay for anything digital outside of steam sales, and certainly not for something like netflix or crunchyroll.

>You have to force yourself to do things.

>Also, it's good to have more than one hobby

That was what I did before, but I no longer have any energy or motivation. Being surrounded by neighbours who are constantly screaming, banging and acting up makes it so that I can't even concentrate on something like reading. Breathing in whatever they're smoking also makes me feel slow and like shit.

>Japanese

I've been wanting to learn Japanese since forever and I still hardly know anything. Would have been nice to have read it in school, but that wasn't an option. I learned English as a second language all by myself, but Japanese being a completely different language, actually getting to study it would've made continuing learning on your own later easier.

Not counting some game consoles, I hate modern technology. And most of all fuck smartphones. The worst piece of technology ever conceived. They, along with social media, killed the internet with bringing in a flood of normalfags, thots, boomers, kids, degenerate freaks, politically correct lunatics and all of the third world. As well as giant corporations like the G-word infecting more and more of the internet, ruining everything in their way, like Youtube. And people constantly filming everything makes going outside even more horrible.

>I hate the military. I hate countries, and the vast majority of their inhabitants.

I hate the modern world and those who run most of it's countries. I wouldn't mind the military and the police as much if they actually worked for the people and not against it, like how they do here with being soft cowards when it comes to actual criminals, murderers, rapists and gang violence, while going after old men who write "nigger" on facebook and using violence towards peacefully demonstrating NAZIS. Making sure that everyone knows how tolerant and diverse they are when recruiting women and gays with huge ad campaigns and pride parade participation, while at the same time kicking out people with "wrong" opinions and people who don't want to join their pride spectacle.

>because I'm at least a little bit obsessed with hygiene (I will never have pets, because of that), and I definitely have some OCD going on

I'm the same way, I probably have OCD. Would never want a pet, but then again I'm living in a ghetto with animals as neighbours as well as their vermin "pets" (both kids and literal vermin). Though I can live with problems that are tolerable like my setup being a mess as well, and old clothes full of holes. New clothes are too expensive so I'd rather not put the little neetbux I get on that.

>high frequency noises

One of my hard drives does that and I hate it.

>while watching AVGN and Cinemassacre way back,

He's just the kind of guy that I was talking about. James Rolfe is one of those people that could get you into anything. People that need more hobbies just need to listen to guys like that. Most people are boring, and their interests are shallow, if they even have any. People like him are different. Of course, he's more of a movie guy that anything.

>Books and video games I prefer physical,

The problem with that, other than money, would be space. I am the kind of guy that likes small, cheap rooms, and I will never have a whole lot of money. I own a few consoles, but the ones that I can't (or couldn't at the time) easily emulate, that's my general rule. If it makes my life easier, then I'm willing to own it (but of course, it has the disadvantage that hardware eventually will fail, like the dead Dreamcast that I have buried in my closet). But if I can emulate something easily, then that's what I do. I do pirate everything though, even if I own the hardware. I have complete collections for most consoles (and a few computers). Except CD and DVD games, of course. Those are a pain, because you have to pick what to download, because of the size. My only concern is that the emulation has to give me a pretty accurate experience. Oh, and I have nice controllers as well, and an appropriate TV, and a monitor. I got a Buffalo SNES controller for older games, so now I finally have a good d-pad again. I was almost doubting that it was possible to make a good ones, and thinking that my memories of playing with old Nintendo controllers and not hating the d-pads must have been wrong. Well, they actually don't have to suck, that was a nice surprise. I played old games only with my arcade stick for many years, because every controller that I have used since way back in the day has a d-pad that makes my thumb hurt after a while. Actually, speaking of that, the GameCube controller is pretty great, everyone likes it… so why does it have the worst, stiffest d-pad ever made? It's absolutely horrible. It looks like a normal d-pad, so how is it that bad?

>Japanese being a completely different language, actually getting to study it would've made continuing learning on your own later easier.

Not sure that it would make that much of a difference, but the biggest advantage of being taught Japanese by someone else is that you don't have to think about how to do it. If I do manage to learn it eventually, maybe I can write a guide about how to learn it. That could be useful.

>>7503

>And most of all fuck smartphones

As far as I'm concerned, they are actually unusable. I could get one and install a different OS, and make whatever modifications I want to, but if I have to rub my finger on my screen, it sucks and I don't want it. Having a full keyboard isn't completely necessary because typing on portables is shit and you shouldn't do it anyway, but at the very least give me arrow keys and an enter. Even then, something with a tiny screen would be pretty useless. Having to hold it in my hands would already make it very situational. Also, as phones that also do some other simple things, they fail completely. The battery life will always be absolute garbage because a huge OS will be always running. My phone is just an alarm clock, so I want the battery to last. It lasts only a week now, and that's annoying enough. Having to charge something every day or two would be a huge pain. But yes, these devices ruined everything. Not immediately, it took a few years, but now the web is an absolute piece of shit thanks to them. Mostly a negative force at this point, looking at it objectively, and it's all because retard phones gave normalfags internet access. That's also the reason why the web is so insanely corporate. Honestly, it barely serves its original purpose anymore. Free exchange of information? That's almost a thing of the past, on the web. Now it's more like controlled exchange of ads and propaganda and the freedom to do what you're told. It will be useless in the future. Probably won't last too long. Only normalfags will be able use it, eventually.

>I did sin and got an android tablet though (brand new "used" for cheap), for reading books and manga/comics that are not easily available. Works well for that but still retarded tech and android is shit.

There are alternatives, though. But you do have to buy hardware that is supported by whatever distribution you choose. Tablets are more useful, for reading, because they are more like a book, in a way. Still, I would rather use a computer, and they aren't exactly that much more portable than a small laptop. Again, touchscreens are not an option. Also, I finally got a pretty good keyboard (well, I bought the parts and assembled it myself, because I wanted a specific combination that wasn't sold, and I actually own a nice Hakko soldering station, so there was no reason to not just solder the switches myself), so using a touchscreen would be extra stupid. Spending money hurts, by the way. Took me most of a year to gather the courage to spend that much. I never buy anything, these days.

>I hate the modern world and those who run most of it's countries.

I hate the population as well. I just don't want anything to do with them. People that I like are the exception. Caring about someone is something that I have to be convinced to do. It's not my default state at all. That's why I don't care about politics anymore, because I realized that no matter what group someone belongs to, chances are I wouldn't like them anyway. Why should I take sides and worry about anyone if it's almost impossible to form a group of people that I actually like? Not worth the emotional effort. It's all about degrees of hatred. I hate some kinds of people more than others, but that doesn't exactly make me want to care. It's all a stupid game that I don't care about. Regardless, humanity was clearly a mistake and shouldn't survive, and that is my only political position. If people can't prove that humanity deserves to survive, then it shouldn't, and anything bad may actually be good, as long as it leads to extinction.

>Would never want a pet,

Animals are dirty, so I don't want them in my environment. At the same time, keeping them outside feels a little too cruel for me to do. Not owning one is the ideal solution. Also the cheapest one.

>New clothes are too expensive so I'd rather not put the little neetbux I get on that.

Well, and you have to leave the house to buy them. Maybe you can buy them online and hope for the best, but I'm too picky for that. That's my main reason to not buy new ones, along with the retarded prices (well, maybe even used, never tried that, can't say that I mind doing that as long as I can take a good look at the clothes myself). And you can't step inside that kind of store without some dumb bitch following you around and pretending to be nice and helpful, and forcing you to be the rude one for telling her to fuck off. I hate that. Maybe I should just close the holes myself. My first time sewing has to happen eventually. Even if it looks like shit, I don't care. Never going outside wearing pajamas anyway, so it technically will never matter no matter what. Just close the holes and it will be fine. My pants for going outside also have a few holes, but the holes are tiny and I never wear them anyway. The only thing that could force me to wear them constantly would be homelessness, but I don't think I will care that my pants are fucked up if that happens, as long as I can still use them to hang myself. Hopefully that won't happen, though. Besides, "slightly disheveled" or "disheveled, but not too much" has always been my aesthetic anyway. All of my outdoor clothes are reasonably formal because that's what I like, so it's good if they aren't in very good condition. Just to make sure that I don't look rich or like I dress for attention. That was my logic years ago, when I still wore them (the same holes have been there since 2011, I think, which is pretty hilarious).

>The problem with that, other than money, would be space.

This is a problem. When you still live at home your room quickly gets cluttered. I like to collect the games and play them on the original hardware with the original controllers, but nowadays you can't do that unless you have the money normalfags are willing to shell out to flex with the games. Though now there are good emulation alternatives, like hacking those mini consoles like the mini NES that come with the official controllers and putting roms on them.

>the GameCube controller is pretty great, everyone likes it… so why does it have the worst, stiffest d-pad ever made?

The d-pad on that controller is horrible, other than that it's one of the best. Nintendo has always had good d-pads except on the GC and the Switch pro controller., have no idea how they fucked that one up. GameCube was also one of the best consoles, maybe it's nostalgia talking but almost every game Nintendo dropped back then was a masterpiece. Now you get less good games and less games in general. Which probably is good since they cost money and I don't play them anyway.

>now the web is an absolute piece of shit thanks to them

Sad that the internet has become real life: digital edition. I miss when the internet was a nice place (mostly) with comfy forums and interesting sites and everything had a certain charm to it. Now everything looks the same with the same stale windows 10-like aesthetic, the good communities are mostly gone and replaced with shit and everywhere you go it's either normalfags or retards.

>I actually own a nice Hakko soldering station

>Spending money hurts, by the way.

Would've been fun to do technical stuff, maybe even for a living, but growing up a poorfag I never got the chance to learn. Still a poorfag and too much of a brainlet to get into it now, and the interest I had as a kid is gone. Spending money does hurt, but still I waste what little is left after the usual expenses on games or some shit, if there is anything left that is.

>That's why I don't care about politics anymore

Being a shut-in hikki, caring about politics is a waste. No real change will ever come through "democratic" voting, and even then when you look at the majority of normals and the parties they vote for, they still want to live in a "progressive" world, so even if it negatively affects them it's still what they chose, so they can have it. I care less now than I did before, but I still find it an interesting topic when I feel like bothering. And the less progressive and the more traditional-minded people are the less I hate them. The more progressive the more insufferable and hostile.

>And you can't step inside that kind of store without some dumb bitch following you around and pretending to be nice and helpful

I fucking hate this, just makes me less inclined to spend any money. If I need help, I'll ask for it (or more likely go home and not bother).

>the retarded prices

Also this.

>I like to collect the games and play them on the original hardware with the original controllers

I prefer doing that, but I only own just enough consoles, mostly because of money, and other than that it's emulation. Controllers, on the other hand, I don't particularly mind using adapters, because I kinda have to, because for certain games I would rather use an arcade stick, and buying a bunch of sticks would be kinda expensive. I would rather just have one good stick and use it on everything with adapters. Mine is a PS1/PS2 Hori, precisely because it has to work on anything and adapters for PS1/PS2 controllers are easy to find for any console. I will generally prefer using the controller for a particular system, as long as it's good, but if another controller is better, then I will use that (if you can use a better controller, then you do that, that's what people always did, so it is legitimate). For emulation, I use my stick with an adapter, a Buffalo SNES controller for older games that I would rather play with a regular pad (most of what I play uses these two), and a PS3 controller for newer stuff (I own a PS3, bought it because it was really cheap, it's the most recent console that I own). If I could, maybe I would buy consoles that I don't need, but again, the hardware will die eventually, and I'm not a fan of that. And I spend money very infrequently, so I would generally rather buy something less risky and with more long term benefits. Emulators can be accurate enough that I don't think real hardware is worth it, objectively. I still want to own those things (and old computers as well), but I'm also very aware that actually buying this stuff is probably a bad move. Still, even if I do buy something like that, I will not buy the games. I will definitely use a flash cart, or something like that. Also, there are things that I want, but just have to accept not having. Like a Japanese arcade cab. Or two, so I can have one with a vertical monitor. I want that more than any console, but it will never happen. Too expensive, and if the hardware fails, well, that will ruin a decade of my life if it can't be fixed. It would be smarter to just buy that giant Virtua Stick for the Saturn, that is pretty much exactly what you have on an Astro City candy cab. Just use that on MAME with an adapter, playing on a CRT, and you should be able to pretend that you have the real thing. Definitely close enough for me. Still, those are expensive as hell. I will never buy one.

>those mini consoles like the mini NES

I despise those things. Maybe it's irrational, but I don't care. Buying emulators "because it's official, man" is the most normalfag thing ever. And I assume that they only have HDMI, so they wouldn't even work on an appropriate TV. A monitor would be fine, but no VGA kills that possibility too, so that wouldn't work either. And converters inevitably cause a good amount of delay, and that bothers my autism quite a lot. Anyway, these things are worse than emulators, objectively. Emulators give you all the freedom in the world and let you pick your hardware, so they are better. I will make an exception, though. If Sega releases something like that for the Saturn and the Dreamcast, I might consider that, because those consoles are troublesome to emulate. The Saturn emulators have been getting better, from what I heard, but I don't know about the Dreamcast (and mine is dead). Actually, the Saturn is the one console that I needed, but never actually owned (piracy has been possible for a few years, but I don't trust them enough to buy one, though they might be more reliable than the DC). I played Saturn games on SSF for over a decade, but not every game works.

>GameCube was also one of the best consoles

It doesn't have as many games as other consoles, but if you go for quality over quantity, it might be Nintendo's best console, actually. Their best consoles are the GC, the NES and the SNES, for sure. In no particular order, comparing them objectively isn't possible. It depends on what you prefer, but they are all fantastic.

>Sad that the internet has become real life

Every form of escapism is being destroyed, at this point. Some hobbies aren't dead yet, but will be soon.

>the same stale windows 10-like aesthetic

I can't stand that. Flat design is not design. It's lack of design. Everything looks and feels horrendous nowadays. Just give me Windows 95, that's all I want. Just give me what Windows 95 gave me, preferably with similar performance. It was done in the past, so it's definitely possible.

>Would've been fun to do technical stuff, maybe even for a living, but growing up a poorfag I never got the chance to learn.

Actually, poor people are more into that. Middle class people are absolutely retarded, so they don't give a shit about fixing things, and rich people buy new shit just because it's new so often that they don't even consider keeping things that they own (I don't hate most people that have money because they have money, I hate them because of how they are, and how inefficient they are, and because of their disinterest in how the world works and what it's actually like, they are shallow in the worst possible sense). I bought the equipment so I could avoid having to replace things. The soldering station that I got is the only one that I found that is really good but also cheap. I was more into the theory of electronics at that point, but now I don't remember much of it. I just find a way to make things work, if I can, and it's not too much of a pain in the ass. I would like to live near a recycling center so I could get a lot of free shit all the time, and fix it if it's broken. Actually, maybe even working in a place like that would be worth it just for that. People are so incredibly wasteful that it's kinda stupid to not take advantage of their dumb, irrational behavior. Also, another reason to do it is that it's just more interesting. Life in this century is incredibly dull. We never do anything ourselves. I think that sucks, so I want to be different. Hopefully I will do more of that in the future, when I have more freedom.

By the way, I'm not even good at soldering, because I have the shakes. Still, I soldered every switch on the keyboard that I'm using to type this, so I'm good enough, I guess. Most joints are pretty good. Some of them are kinda ugly, but they work. Also, I tend to forget where my hands are, so I did touch the iron once before, probably two years ago. Fortunately, I always wear gloves (general purpose gloves, so not specifically for high temperatures, but still resistant enough that they can save you), so it just made a hole in my glove. It was really hot, but didn't actually hurt me. I'm really paranoid about safety, so I wear a mask that covers my face to protect my eyes, mostly from the fumes, because flux is toxic, but solder can splatter and hit your eye (never seen it happen, but it has happened to other people before, and you definitely want to be protected if it does, because having solder in your eye sounds like one of the most painful things that can happen to someone, at least to me). I also wear my lab coats that I still have from college. Probably look crazy (or really professional), but I do this while everyone is asleep, so they don't see me. I can't do it in my room, because my fume extractor doesn't work too well, and I don't want fumes in my room. So I have to wait until everyone is asleep to do it outside, but I don't do it too often, so it's not a problem. Actually, I got a lot of my information from that EEVblog guy on YouTube. I always make sure that what I'm buying is really good, so I watched videos from a bunch of people for months before doing anything. Actually, I mentioned James Rolfe before, and that makes me remember vomitsaw. That's the guy that made his Nintoaster, and he has a fun video about it. His videos are just the kind of stuff that I liked about internet content, when it was still good. Real people don't make videos anymore, unfortunately. Just a bunch of greedy fucks trying to be "professional", most of the time. It's like they are trying to make a TV show. Though that is unfair, because there was good stuff on TV in the past, even though I can barely remember that.

>Being a shut-in hikki, caring about politics is a waste.

In that position, the majority of people on both sides hate you anyway, because as far as they are concerned, you are owned by the government and exist to be a taxpayer, so if you are not part of the system somehow, you are the enemy. That's one thing that made me stop caring. I realized that the real enemy is most of humanity, so supporting anyone would be kinda dumb. No matter who wins, freedom is dead and chances are they will make my life worse.

I don't understand why this is so true, and why no one talks about it. I live in a very liberal area and I've felt this way my entire life. Even in my youth when i was mimicking their beliefs it was stifling.

Thinking about it I would theorize it is it because progressive people view the whole world as their concern. While traditional people only care about what affects them. Maybe it really is just as simple as the haves and the have nots.

I now own every Playstation except the first. Though I've always been a generation behind and only gotten the consoles and the games for as cheap as possible. Was always more of a Nintendo fanboy.

>Also, there are things that I want, but just have to accept not having. Like a Japanese arcade cab.

Same, I've always wanted an arcade cabinet, but it costs money I don't have and takes up space I don't have.

>I despise those things. Maybe it's irrational, but I don't care. Buying emulators "because it's official, man" is the most normalfag thing ever.

While I agree I still like Nintendo's two, got them to hack and put everything on because that's a "cheap", quick and easy way to get good emulation with the right controllers for me.

>Their best consoles are the GC, the NES and the SNES, for sure.

I like pretty much all Nintendo consoles, however GC and SNES are the best ones. The Wii is underrated and was the best of it's generation. Wii U had few but very good games, but the gamepad is a horrible controller. The Switch is okay but doesn't really have anything of it's own outside of Super Mario Odyssey. So does are the two I appreciate the least.

Also graphics were better before.

>Flat design is not design. It's lack of design.

>Just give me Windows 95

I miss Windows 95. And XP and even 7. Windows 8 is by far the worst OS I've ever tried, it's unusable. And speaking of Nintendo, the Switch OS and UI, while it at least works, is the most bland and sterile I've seen.

>People are so incredibly wasteful

>Actually, maybe even working in a place like that would be worth it just for that.

Better to try and fix anything broken than buying new (and often times worse) stuff. To work with fixing stuff, or something else creative, on your own in your own pace could be something that would be doable without sperging out.

>I mentioned James Rolfe before, and that makes me remember vomitsaw. That's the guy that made his Nintoaster, and he has a fun video about it.

Haven't seen that one since he made it, too think that was around 10 years ago.

>His videos are just the kind of stuff that I liked about internet content, when it was still good.

Youtube has become TV, with paid premium features, e-celeb drama and even fucking Will Smith having a channel. Just comparing the Cinemassacre channel then and now, even though they really aren't that much of an offender, you see the difference. Though I still like James and he still can produce good content.

That's how it should be, you, your family, the ones close to you. Not every fucking stranger in every foreign country. Shit happens abroad? Not my problem.

>I now own every Playstation except the first.

I gave my PS1 to my uncle when I got my PS2. I was only allowed to buy the PS2 if I did that, at the time. The PS2 runs PS1 games perfectly, though, so it's not a problem. Other than that, I owned all of them except a PS4. Probably never buying a PS4. The only exclusive that I know that interests me is Bloodborne (unless one of the Yakuzas will never come out on PC), and I'm not too sure even about that. Buying a console only for one game is a bad idea, and it's a game that I might not even like. Demon's Souls is great and Dark Souls is awesome, but Bloodborne is a very different kind of game. It's entirely possible that I would hate it, so buying a PS4 is especially not worth the risk. Still, I'm done with PC gaming, since Windows 7 will be dead soon, so maybe I will buy one in the future, since I refuse to install Windows 10. Not that likely, though, because I don't really care about new games, and I have too many interests to worry about that. I can also just play old games for free, for the rest of my life.

>I've always been a generation behind

That has always been the case for me as well. It's surprising that it continued to be the case, since I abandoned consoles for the most part after 2003, because of emulators. But the consoles that I got after that were still almost always from the previous generation, the exception being the Wii, that I bought for other reasons. Even the PS3, and that was bought just a few years ago, a little bit after the PS4 came out. At that point, my main focus was on playing games from older consoles, from Atari 2600 to SNES. And DOS games as well, since my first OS was Windows 98 (I was born in 93 and I used a computer for the first time when I was like, 5 or 6, and it was a new computer with 98), so I missed that era for the most part, and only experienced it later. I only used 95 a little bit back in the day, on an older PC, but using it now, I prefer it to 98. Windows 98 already had Internet Explorer integration, so it started the trend of trying to merge your OS with your web browser, and turning everything into a shitty offline web page. My brain is too screwed up to talk about this in more detail now.

>"cheap", quick and easy way to get good emulation with the right controllers for me.

It doesn't any get cheaper than free. And you can just get USB controllers. The SNES controller that I got is really good, and it wasn't even expensive. 15 to 20 dollars, something like that. I think there is an NES version as well. The SNES controller is more comfortable, so I only got that, because I would rather avoid having too many controllers, since my table is a mess as it is. Hell, you can just get a Raspberry Pi and run a bunch of emulators on that. They have composite video output as well. I still haven't configured mine properly, because I'm lazy as hell, but I do have one. Mostly bought it for programming experiments, though.

>The Wii is underrated and was the best of it's generation.

I think the Wii is absolute shit, by its own merits. But I hate motion controls, so I have to think that, I guess. Motion controls are good for dumb goofy games when you're drunk (video related), but Nintendo just tried to force you to use them all the time, and that sucks ass and ruins everything. Almost nothing on the Wii library interests me at all. I own a Wii for GC (the emulation wasn't perfect back when I bought it,and my PC couldn't handle it that well) and N64 (P64 isn't the best emulator in the world exactly, so I play N64 games on that), and also Mario Galaxy (cool game, I like it a lot), Mario Kart Wii, and Brawl (that I did like, but the online multiplayer was abysmal), and I hate it. The way that you are forced to use the wiimote to select things on the menus proves that Nintendo became the Apple of video games, at that time. And on top of that, that thing drains batteries like crazy, even while the console is off. You have to remove them every time, and nothing is more annoying than that when you only use that piece of shit on the menus.

Nowadays I actually kinda hate Nintendo, because they only pander to normalfags and they never just make a damn console with a decent controller anymore, and their games don't interest me that much now, but they were good back in the day (well, everyone was much better than now, not just Nintendo). Hell, I'd say they were amazing, and the GC was their final masterpiece (the tiny discs were a dumb gimmick that limited the system by quite a bit, arguably, but it doesn't matter, the games were great, including some amazing games by Sega, like F-Zero GX and Super Monkey Ball, some of my favorite games ever made). Overall, I would say that the PS3 is the best of its generation (and that is not even a good thing, considering how much better the PS2 was, and even that was already inferior to the PS1, at least to me, but that is probably just a matter of taste). I bought it for Castlevania Harmony of Despair, Demon's Souls, the Yakuza games, Catherine, the MGS Legacy Collection for MGS4 and Peace Walker, and a few others. None of those were on PC, and I didn't have a 360 either, so even games that were on that (but not on PC) were practically exclusives. I enjoyed that a lot more than the Wii (not counting GC games, of course). At least if you ignore backwards compatibility, since the Wii emulated so much (not that it's very useful since most systems run better on a PC anyway). The Switch isn't even worth considering, since it doesn't have anything that interests me and it seems to be pretty flimsy to me. Nintendo doesn't really interest me at this point, though the new Mario might be kinda cool. My relationship with Mario is actually kinda weird. I tend to prefer other platformers like Castlevania or Mega Man, or even Sonic, but I still beat pretty much every Mario game until the Wii U came out. My favorites are probably the American 2, Land 2 and Sunshine, then Galaxy after those. That opinion is probably triple heresy somehow, but Mario games are pretty samey, so my favorites are the ones that are different from the rest.

>Just comparing the Cinemassacre channel then and now, even though they really aren't that much of an offender, you see the difference.

I don't watch the new stuff very often. Most of my time is spent rewatching old stuff (a few of my favorite channels, mostly LPers from early YouTube, were deleted before I started using youtube-dl to download everything, and the fact that I can't watch those videos again will bother me forever). Some of my favorite AVGNs are from just a few years ago (Seaman, Hong Kong 97, Big Rigs, and maybe a few others), so he can still make good stuff. His videos with Mike are good as well, at least from what I watched (I watched them a lot for a few years). James is a cool guy, so just put him in front of a camera and good things will happen. Giving him time to prepare doesn't necessarily help, because he's just cool by default. He's the kind of guy that works better when he doesn't have a whole lot of time, and has a very limited budget. I think having too much time and too many resources tends to hurt the end result, in his case. He's a low-budget movie guy, that's his background, and that's a huge part of his appeal. At least that's the kind of thing that I like. It's a lot more real to me than something "professional", and cool people tend to make better content when they are just doing their own thing.

>Haven't seen that one since he made it, too think that was around 10 years ago.

That guy's videos in general represent what I like pretty well, because they are all just internet content made by a real guy (that also happens to be cool). You don't see that very often nowadays. Everything is too artificial. Generally made by lame, boring people that are trying to sound smart and professional. I can't stand that.

>And I have a relative who is the biggest most vocal feminist progressive I've met, and also the biggest most hateful piece of shit.

Those people are just shit. They try to ruin everything, so you can't avoid them. Women tend to be average and boring, so most of them fall for it. I can't stand those cunts and their thirsty betas and white knights. I avoid people like that like the plague that they are, and I'm the last person that should deal with that, because I understand perfectly well that being a woman has a bunch of disadvantages and that men suck (humans are shit, so both men and women are shit, how surprising). I had to deal with some of that in college as well, before I dropped out. Hell, some employers even refused to hire men. If you're a woman, you're fine, if you're a man, you get an unpaid internship if you're lucky. Nowadays, being a woman is objectively easier in every way except for finding meaningful relationships, because you will be surrounded by thirsty boring shallow retards until you get old, unless you pretend to be a man online, or something. That's probably the worst thing about being a woman. You get a lot of attention, but it's all worthless, and the weird women that don't suck ass must hate it. It must be horrendous, and I sympathize with that. Other than that, it's easy mode.

>That's how it should be, you, your family, the ones close to you.

You don't even have to care about that. You are not obligated to care about anything. Don't let anyone tell you that you have to care about anything. It is all 100% optional. Personally, I despise my family, and almost everyone that has ever been around me, and where I live. If anything, I care more about complete strangers than about the people I know, because almost everyone I have ever known in real life is terrible, and at least strangers have the potential to be good. But still, I don't care about countries. Every country that I really hate probably has at least a few people that I would like, but that doesn't make me suddenly care about those countries. My current position is that I only care about people that I like, and everyone else can go to hell. And countries were a mistake, so fuck them. Countries are too big. Scaling down is better than scaling up (and that is easy to see, I like people here, on a small board, while big boards tend to be full of people that I despise). Personally, the only country that I care about is Japan, because they make stuff that I like. It's a selfish reason, but I don't remember signing a contract before I was born, agreeing not to be selfish and to care about everyone else no matter who they are or what they do. Every other country just sucks. Some of them used to be cool, but I don't care about "used to" anymore.

I'm not exactly a traditionalist (though I'm definitely an old fashioned kind of guy, my entire mindset is what those people would call conservative, though I would call that being reasonable, because unnecessary change is always bad, and has ruined everything, as you can see, but that is just my general mindset, it's not really political, the most political position that I have is that freedom is good, maybe also the anti-natalism, but I don't know), and I'm too much of a weirdo to call myself that. I just want the garbage to get out of the way and stop tormenting me. The commies don't actually care about everything that they claim to care about either. It's a lie. It's all virtue signaling. There is a limit to how much you can care about, and caring about everything is way over that limit. These people would be way more suicidal than I have ever been if they actually gave a shit about the world. I used to care a lot more, and I was absolutely miserable, so I know damn well how caring about too many things feels like. Honestly, caring about myself is already too much for me (to the point that I would rather not care about the future at all until my survival is legitimately threatened). Caring about a world that doesn't give half of a rat's ass about me is especially impossible. Not even the economy matters to me. The whole thing is a joke. I don't even particularly want to be rich, or to avoid being poor, so it doesn't matter. Rich people are pretty dull, shallow and boring, and middle class people tend to be the same, but also in massive amounts of debt. Maybe poverty would make things better. Even immigration issues only happen because stupid people have too much money. Get rid of the money and you get rid of that problem as well. Make America poor again, I guess, even though I'm not American. Even freedom would be restored, in a way. All that Orwellian bullshit is only possible because the government has too much money and time to waste.

>I'm too drunk to be posting anything, but I'll do it anyway. It's a nice challenge.

Cheers mate.

Maybe this belongs in the video game thread instead but eh.

>PS4

Never really liked PS3 and 4 as consoles, but they both got enough games I want to justify the purchases. Though getting the PS4 as "early" as I did was probably a mistake now that it's confirmed PS5 will be backwards compatible. However, it wouldn't surprise me if the PS5 is expensive as shit like the PS3 was now with Sony getting cocky again, and you don't know how the hardware's going to be or if it even gets any good games so whatever. I like PS4's controller though, the best Sony ever made, the touch pad is retarded but disregarding that the controller's comfy and high quality.

>since I refuse to install Windows 10. Not that likely, though, because I don't really care about new games,

Same, not touching 10. Gaming today isn't what it used to be. The only game that interest me so far this year is Sekiro and the only games I look forward to are Animal Crossing and Metroid Prime 4. And a new F-Zero because I can dream. Mario Maker 2 and Ghost of Tsushima might be cool. And we'll see what E3 brings, most likely disappointment.

Not counting handhelds, the Wii was the last console I actually liked even though it had it's flaws like

>The way that you are forced to use the wiimote to select things on the menus

Though compared to the Wii U the Wii's flaws were like nothing. I understand what Nintendo were thinking and going for with the gamepad, but I hate it. Clunky brick of a controller that you're forced to use, it constantly dies and you have to plug it into the wall to recharge it. And while DS and 3DS did dual screen gaming well by having the second screen directly under, the Wii U did it horribly by forcing you to look down. What they should've done was just making a GameCube 2 that was on par with the competition, with an upgraded GC controller and wiimotes as an option (like PS Move). Would've given them a head start in that generation and with Microsoft shitting the bed with the Xbox One reveal, it probably would have sold a lot more. To make the Wii it's own console instead of making the wiimote an accessory to the GameCube and just going their own way that generation was financially a smart move. But trying to do it again and getting the smartphone and iPad normalfags by having a "tablet" as a controller, but at the same time trying to get the hardcore crowd as well was retarded.

>Brawl

Is the second best and most underrated Smash. When it comes to the fighting itself, as well as the online, 4 and Ultimate are better, but Brawl (and Melee) had lots to do as a single player and they were fun. 4 and Ultimate barely has anything and what they have is boring. Have barely touched Ultimate since it just felt like more of the same but less fun and with less soul. Might go back for the online but single player is useless.

>F-Zero GX and Super Monkey Ball, some of my favorite games ever made

My man.

>The Switch isn't even worth considering, since it doesn't have anything that interests me and it seems to be pretty flimsy to me

Since the gamepad made me play the Wii U less than I've would've wanted, the Switch was worth it. I think the only two really good titles left as exclusive to the Wii U are Splatoon (the first one is better than the second, except for the controls) and Super Mario 3D World. It also doesn't force it's gimmicks on you. The Switch and it's accessories does feel flimsy and lower quality for being a Nintendo system. Not bad but worse than anything before.

>My favorites are probably the American 2, Land 2 and Sunshine, then Galaxy after those. That opinion is probably triple heresy somehow

I'd call it good taste. Sunshine might be the best 3D Mario, or Galaxy or 64, hard to choose. Odyssey isn't as good but still very nice. First game I played was Super Mario Bros on the NES so I've liked Mario since, though I don't like how Mario and his games became more and more safe and generic after the release of New Super Mario Bros. Odyssey and Mario Kart 8 are very good, but most other Mario titles doesn't have the same charm anymore and even as games they are worse, comparing old Mario parties or sports to the new ones.

>Some of my favorite AVGNs are from just a few years ago (Seaman, Hong Kong 97, Big Rigs, and maybe a few others)

Feels like the quality is all over the place with Cinemassacre nowadays. Those three are classics, and I really liked the Mega Man and EarthBound ones myself, but the one with Macaulay Culkin was the worst yet. Just put Mike in a suit if guests really are needed.

>I can't stand those cunts and their thirsty betas and white knights.

What's funny is that the hag's current husband is a beta white knight, but it's obvious she only likes him as her slave. He seems fine with it though since he's a natural-born cuck, or he's just too retarded to notice, and he probably does get cucked too.

>Hell, some employers even refused to hire men. If you're a woman, you're fine,

Like how this hamburger place over here refused to hire white men because that wasn't diverse enough, you don't even get to flip burgers anymore. I've noticed this prioritisation of women wherever I go ever since school. Being a white male, especially if poor and disabled in any way, is the true hard mode in the west today. Society expects you to be a normal functioning hard working man, while women and immigrants are seen as victims and gets to live easier. Just trying to get on autismbux so you don't starve to death is a huge battle. Also, women should go back to being women. Feminism, sexual revolution/liberation and propaganda ruined them.

>You don't even have to care about that. You are not obligated to care about anything.

Of course you're not obligated to anything, not in the modern world, but I meant more how a better world should work. Treat others how you want to be treated yourself, if people treat you like shit, well an eye for an eye. After being treated like shit in a liberal shithole for all my life, I despise most people as well. With family I meant the nuclear family, wife and kids. The only family I have is my mother, who thankfully kind of knows what's up with the world and understands that men have a harder time today.

>Scaling down is better than scaling up (and that is easy to see, I like people here, on a small board, while big boards tend to be full of people that I despise).

Same, most of the times, the bigger a community is the shittier it is. Plus the fact that I dislike too big communities both because of the amount of people and because they move way too fast. That's one reason to why I miss the old internet. However, I am of the opinion that every race and every people should be kept separated and that countries helped with that as well as creating a sort of national solidarity and kinship. ("Solidarity", a word commies and progressives love to use, but obviously hate to practice.) While you still can see this in parts of eastern Europe, it is mostly gone in the west today, with westerners becoming self-hating cucks, gladly tearing apart what their forefathers had built just to virtue signal how Tolerant™ they are. Multiculturalism and multi-ethnic societies do not work, and being a sperg, having all kinds of people around you that don't even speak your language, this makes the sensory overload and the anxiety even worse.

And while I like what my native land once was and it's history and culture, people really are not the same anymore. Here in the Nordic countries people were more like the Japanese, humble, melancholic and introspective, this started to change with the boomer generation, and more and more so during the years, the more mainstream media and politicians got a hold of people's lives. People have become stuck-up faggots, shallow degenerates and as said self-hating cucks that happily throw their own people under the bus, disregarding the imported skyrocketing crime rates, so they can pat themselves on the back and tell themselves how kind-hearted and merciful they are, while getting good boy points from their overlords. Especially so here in Sweden, and I would guess less so in Finland (so far). So in the modern world, the people I can relate to the most in spirit and mindset are the Japanese and I would gladly move there if I could and had the chance, this would probably make me a hypocrite and defeatist in some eyes but I don't give a shit. But as I said earlier (I think I did), you won't get any change with the "democratic" system of today and actually caring feels so wasted when the majority of your own people actually wants this. Either they actually do want it or maybe they are too afraid to be called racists or ebil natsees so they rather live with it. When you look at the results for last year's election and the EU election now, the only two parties that aren't traitors and complete shit didn't even get 1% together, and the participation is still fairly high at 87%. There are still good, reasonable Swedes, but the majority are blind sheep that follow their leaders no matter what. I guess the term Stockholm syndrome is fitting.

Continued because the body was too long.

My political stance today is leave me alone and let me be a manchild, though I sympathise the most with what normalfags call the "far-right". As well as other shut-ins, autists, or anyone that have been dealt a bad hand in life or by society. Although I wouldn't even call having a conservative/old fashioned/traditional/nationalist or whatever mindset and values "right wing" or anything political at all. What I see as the political sides are commies and capitalists, two sides of the same oppressive coin that can go fuck each other. All in all, I'm the same today, I don't really care anymore. And I'll also say this, if normalfags are so afraid of nazis, then they probably should stop trying to recreate the degenerate 1920's.

>though I would call that being reasonable, unnecessary change is always bad, and has ruined everything

You seem pretty reasonable to me, and yes, in 99,9% of times, change is unnecessary and bad. Don't fix what's not broken.

>Even immigration issues only happen because stupid people have too much money.

If boomers and women stopped giving money to gypsy beggars, they would go home. And if society stopped handing out welfare to "refugees" as soon as they crossed the border, they would stop coming.

Well, just say that it's my fault. I always go off topic. It's what I do.

>the touch pad is retarded but disregarding

The fact that this exists makes me irrationally angry. But not as much as the thing on the back of the Vita. I don't know if I could own something like that. It's so retarded that all of my body physically reacts with rejection.

>The only game that interest me so far this year is Sekiro

I don't know anything about it, but maybe it will interest me if I loon into it. It's a From game, right? Very low expectations. I played Dark Souls 2 and hated it, and I still haven't player 3, but it doesn't sound great to me. Not sure that I would like Bloodborne either. Those people just seem incapable of seeing what actually made Demon's Souls and Dark Souls special in the first place, so I don't expect much from them.

>Metroid Prime 4

That's a thing that exists? I only played the first one. Originally on the GameCube, but I hated the controls and never even finished the tutorial area. Then I beat it on the Wii. The motion controls work, but they are still a pain in the ass so I never played the second game. Probably never will. I would rather just played Super Metroid again, or Zero Mission. Or even just beat the original again. I would take it over Metroid II, though, that game was kind of a pain in the ass to beat. Insanely difficult to navigate because it's all gray (because it's a GB game), and the "bosses" are all nothing. Not bad, but I don't want to do it again. Still, it's a ridiculously impressive game. I don't know how they did it. It's absolutely insane that they could make a game like that for the Game Boy. That game is massive.

>And a new F-Zero because I can dream.

I hope they never make a new F-Zero. I just assume that they will ruin it somehow. Besides, it's incompatible with current Nintendo. Their games are made for casuals, and F-Zero was never that kind of game. Besides, GX was already a Sega game (originally an arcade game). Nowadays, when I think F-Zero, I think Sega. As it is now, it's a perfect franchise, and the final game was incredible. That's a good way to end it. I still have to go back to the older games, actually. Never beat them on Master. I only played them on Expert, originally, and then when I played GX, I finally beat the whole game on Master, and it was one of the best things that I have ever done.

>Clunky brick of a controller that you're forced to use

Conceptually it sounds better than the Wii to me, because at least the touchscreen can be useful, specifically for maps, so you don't have to pause the game to see where you are. And I think enormous controllers are pretty cool. But the battery life is obviously a problem. I am the kind of guy that never uses anything wireless, because I just hate having to think about that kind of stuff, like battery life. Wires can be a pain in the ass, but they are better in every way.

>What they should've done was just making a GameCube 2 that was on par with the competition, with an upgraded GC controller and wiimotes as an option

Yes, that's what my Nintendo would have done. But by that point, it was a different Nintendo, with different priorities, and a different target audience.

>like PS Move

The Hitachi Magic Wand controller. I wonder if it vibrates. It probably doesn't, but it should.

>the Xbox One reveal

That's the last video game thing that I paid any attention to.

>Is the second best and most underrated Smash.

I liked Brawl quite a bit, and maybe that's because I'm only a single player guy, though I did play that disastrous online multiplayer. I am obviously not a multiplayer guy. I have never had a friend to play offline multiplayer with, so maybe that's why I had more fun with Brawl than a lot of other people. Melee was fun as well, I unlocked everything, but I probably can't fully appreciate that game since I never played against other people. And I never played against the AI a whole lot, trying to get really good, because that's how I played the N64 SSB, so I guess I just had enough of that before even playing Melee. The two first games are probably a lot more fun if you play with other people. Just like fighting games, that I also play by myself. I just 1cc them if I can (most of them are just impossible unless you are ridiculously good, probably from playing against other people, that are also skilled), and that's all I do.

>I don't like how Mario and his games became more and more safe and generic after the release of New Super Mario Bros.

That's pretty much how I feel. Mario has been doing the same thing for so long that it kinda hurt the games that did it first. It made the American 2 more interesting, though, just because it's the one game that feels nothing like the others, since it's still a unique experience, because it's basically a Doki Doki Panic hack (but that game was already kinda made do feel a little bit like Mario, from what I remember, so they were always related). The Mario Land games on Game Boy are also pretty damn unusual. Always liked them a lot. I had a GBC back in the day, so I played the first game many times. The second game is really cool, though. Very impressive as well, just like Metroid II. Also Wario's first appearance, and Wario is cool. Sunshine is my favorite 3D Mario. It's just the one that I had the most fun with.

>really liked the Mega Man and EarthBound ones myself

I haven't watched them. Whenever I decide to watch something that they make these days, it tends to be James and Mike. Maybe I will go back and watch the AVGNs that I have missed, if they get my attention somehow. Maybe with Board James coming back, or maybe more videos with Bootsy, because he's cool. I don't watch that many video game videos, actually. Even when I still watched most of their stuff, I only watched that and LordBBH, a speedrunner or two a little bit, and CGR (his old videos were especially fun) before it went to shit and died? Technically LGR, but that channel barely has anything to do with games. I'm there for weird shit and computers. Now I barely watch anything about games at all. Except rewatching some old stuff that still exists (it's painful to think about how much good stuff from like, 10 years ago, that I could have downloaded, but never did, and now it's gone). I always liked videos that are just some weird guy rambling (well, including LPs made by guys with like, 10 subscribers, that I watched a long time ago), but that's not a thing anymore, so I don't even have that.

My relationship with gaming in general has changed quite a bit. I don't care that much about playing that many games. I just randomly decide to play something and I play it all the time for months until I get really good and then just stop. I have been playing Contra since the beginning of this month, actually. I just play it once or twice pretty much every day. The original goal was to beat it without dying, but then I remembered that the game keeps getting harder every time you beat it (at least in the Japanese version), so now my goal is to get all six flags without continuing. When you beat the game, there is a flag on the helicopter, during the final cutscene, and every time you beat it again, a new flag is added, and it goes up to six. Until that point, the game gets harder every time. Almost finished the third cycle, in my previous attempt. Not using continues, though, so it's even harder. Also, I'm recording every attempt. I lost all of my videos in 2017, so I guess it's time to make a new collection. Just something that I like to do. I set a goal, and if I can record it, then it's kinda like an achievement. Recording gameplay tends to make me play like shit, though, so it's even more difficult. One of the videos that I lost was the final stages of Ninja Gaiden, and I beat all three final bosses in a row without dying. Probably the most difficult one to replace. Everything else should be easy. The conditions aren't ideal, though. I can't use my CRT, for instance. It's difficult to describe my problem, because it's related to my furniture, that I designed myself, so I can't explain in detail unless I draw it again. Basically, a lot of cables are too short, so I need extension cables. But that costs money, and I hate buying things. I already bought some of them, but the seller didn't ship them. Buying things is such a pain. Actually, I haven't played arcade games in half a year because of these issues. Kind of a shame. Especially since I was playing TGM2+ and actually getting to the credits pretty frequently. It gets ridiculously fast. Not many games like that out there, unfortunately. Actually, that's the kind of game that the CRT could really help with. I can't play it now, though, unfortunately.

>Just put Mike in a suit if guests really are needed

Not a fan of guests either. I remember seeing the thumbnail for one of the newer videos, that had a guest, and it just made me suddenly feel very tired.

>she only likes him as her slave

Not uncommon. Most women are only interested in men that they can use. I think if you want a good woman, you're better off being poor, or at least pretending to be poor. There are women that think that men that live with very little are cool (well, they are, wage slaves are just lame), and I guess those are the good ones.

>Society expects you to be a normal functioning hard working man, while women and immigrants are seen as victims and gets to live easier. Just trying to get on autismbux so you don't starve to death is a huge battle.

And that is all I want. I want to have as little to do with society as possible. Even if I end up having to get a job to survive eventually, it will have to be something that lets me stay away from people and their bullshit. I don't care about money, it doesn't matter. Success in society if failure, by my standards. I just want to live outside of it, or right on the border. Actually, I do have some ideas that could make a lot of money, but it's just a pain in the ass. And I don't want to deal with the government and taxes (fucking government homework) and that kind of shit, so fuck that. If you're too productive, society will punish you and give you a bunch of bullshit to deal with. I want to stay away from that as well, and from all of the bureaucracy that gets in the way on matter what you try to do. It's hell. Honestly, society is the reason why I don't work. I don't actually mind working, as long as I can avoid stress. It could even be relaxing. But that will never happen. People won't allow it, so fuck it, I'm not leaving my room until I'm absolutely screwed, and even in that case I might just choose to kill myself, if I can't find a way to survive that doesn't make me miserable. It's awful. Just give me the money and die. That's all I have to say to these people.

>Also, women should go back to being women.

They would still be shit. Good women are rare, and they pretty much have to be weird and not exactly liked by society. Maybe a little insane. Women just tend to be boring and shallow, at best, because they tend to be so average and so standardized (since even nature thinks that men are disposable, so we are experimented on a lot more). No value at all, except for reproduction, and reproduction is a mistake.

>Treat others how you want to be treated yourself, if people treat you like shit, well an eye for an eye.

I don't do that, because people are not equal. I would treat people like me how I want to me treated, maybe (even that is not necessarily the case, since no one will ever be exactly like me). My default is to not be an asshole, because it just doesn't benefit anyone, and I don't want people to notice that I exist. You really want to avoid attention, if you don't want trouble. Honestly, people would be easier to deal with if we just legalized murder. Safety would be gone, of course, but I bet that people would behave much better. The idiots would quickly be dealt with. That's the default state of civilization, actually. In a small village, murder doesn't even have to be illegal. It's just basic logic, and more of a natural law. You kill someone and other people don't like it, well, you're dead. It's just self-defense on a group level. You defend your people. Basic stuff. If you really think about this, laws are extremely artificial, and a society like this one could never exist without very strict laws.

>That's one reason to why I miss the old internet.

It was good because few people had access to it, and most of those people understood that bringing real life into it was a stupid and reckless idea. There was some kind of natural selection going on there.

>However, I am of the opinion that every race and every people should be kept separated

The real problem is that immigration is too easy now, so it's just a bunch of troublemakers following the money. I wouldn't have a problem with one guy from a shitty country moving in because he hates his own people and appreciates a foreign culture a lot more, and you're initially kinda suspicious because he clearly doesn't belong there, but then you see that he's cool and just ignore the race thing (I may have more in common with a guy like that than with some white normalfag, even with race being a barrier). The problem is that this isn't what happens. You get thousands of scumbags (normalfags, by their standards?) moving in for the easy money and ruining everything, just like they do in their own countries. They are really just trying to establish their own shit cultures wherever they live.

The people that should be leaving their own countries (like some guy from the middle east that has an enormous video game and anime collection and doesn't believe in any religious bullshit, a guy like that wouldn't be a problem at all, and you have probably seen pictures of people like that, and they can't exactly be compared to some smelly Muhammed) may even be doing it less, because they know that immigration is a huge issue now, and that they would be associated with this. It sucks. In a way, money even ruined immigration, just like it ruined the internet (the internet doesn't really have borders if you can speak English, and people have always been able to get along when it was a small group of a particular kind of person, that could be from anywhere). Basically, the world is just shit, and money might actually be the root of all evil at this point. That's the biggest problem here. As I said before, maybe poverty is what we need. Maybe we just have too much for our own good. Hell, entertainment is free, at this point. Being poor can be pretty comfortable today. Personally, I would just go wherever people that I like are, if I could. I wouldn't want anything to do with most people no matter where I lived, so that makes sense. That's why I say I don't care about countries anymore. Of course, people that I like are more likely to be from some countries than from other countries, but still, you get my point.

>having all kinds of people around you that don't even speak your language, this makes the sensory overload and the anxiety even worse

Of course. I have nothing to do with normalfags at all, so being around them makes me feel uncomfortable, especially in huge numbers. I have even less in common with a bunch of lunatics from a crazy, dangerous cult, so those people are definitely even worse.

>Here in the Nordic countries people were more like the Japanese, humble, melancholic and introspective,

That's what I thought your people were like before these issues got really out of control. Before this became so obvious, that's what everyone assumed, I think.

>So in the modern world, the people I can relate to the most in spirit and mindset are the Japanese and I would gladly move there if I could and had the chance

I wouldn't. That would make me feel very uncomfortable. I can easily imagine a Japanese version of myself seeing a white guy like me and thinking that I must be one of THOSE people. White people have a very bad reputation in most of Asia, because of tourist scum, and people that live there, of course. Besides, I don't want the attention. I would stick out too much, I'm clearly not one of them. Also horribly destructive cultural influences (western bullshit, including immigration, and excessive capitalism are going to kill Japan, that's my prediction, if you can even call it that). Are you ready to watch Chinese anime? Because in a decade, maybe that will be your best option. Also, money is ruining Japan. Every attempt of improving their economy will just make things worse. I bet that they will just keep becoming poorer and poorer. Their country is already a corporate hellhole, and it will only get worse. When I still studied economics, they were then most indebted country on Earth (debt to GDP). Their definition of a person is basically "a being that pays taxes and creates offspring that will pay even more taxes". Fuck Japan. They suck. They still make cool stuff, so I don't shit on them too much, but it's a terrible country in many ways. Again, poverty is the solution. I hope their entire country goes bankrupt (but just because I really care about them, it's for their own good). Well, not that it matters. Survival is always optional. Countries don't have to survive. It's not mandatory.

>My political stance today is leave me alone and let me be a manchild,

That's a good stance. Then can blame you for the harm that they do to themselves, but it doesn't hurt anyone, does it?

>I sympathise the most with what normalfags call the "far-right"

I kinda realize that I hate at least half of even those people, so I can't exactly say that. I did go to /pol/ for years, but I haven't been there in years. Got along with around half of the people there. If nothing has changed, I'd say that if any board out there is definitely not one person, that would be /pol/. As far as they are concerned, I am a huge degenerate, though, so I don't think as many of them would be fine with me at this point. I actually want society to die, and if humanity disappears, great. There is a lot of greatness in our history, but that's just an exception to the rule. Humanity is fucking dog shit. Normalfags have always been the way they are now, even in ancient history. Our elites have been great, but mostly very briefly. Basically, I fully realized that even white people are just shit, for the most part. The best people that humanity has produced have always been weirdos and outcasts (many of which didn't have a very good relationship with their own society, and frequently were huge critics of their own people). There is no reason to really care about any of this. I hate imagining history being destroyed, so I hope the art and architecture lasts until the very end, but humanity has to disappear. Genetics don't even matter, because without natural selection, we will continue to become more and more fucked up over time. Humanity pretty much needs genetic engineering to survive, at this point, but I don't think people are competent enough to control this. Besides, technology will kill freedom and probably even destroy us, so needing more of it is definitely a bad thing. Other than that, I'm basically just a hedonist. Not a shallow hedonist, but still, I only do things for my own enjoyment. At this point, the kind of guy that thinks that not being able to masturbate to something is just a nuisance. It would be convenient if we could masturbate to everything. If I could fap to the feeling of starving to death, then I would never have to worry about survival. Or just what Diogenes said. "If only it were as easy to banish hunger by rubbing the belly as it is to masturbate." I don't even think this is depressing. Being alone is depressing, but I'm not particularly unhappy with just doing the increasing number of things I do. Not having money isn't a big deal either. A lot of what I have was free anyway. The only downside is that I can't build robots and drones for fun. Maybe a robowaifu to talk to, I don't know.

This is way too long. It will be mildly annoying to skip, for people that just don't care about any of this.

>It's a From game, right?

Yes. Sekiro looks like a good game from what I've seen. I haven't really played any Souls games even though I've been interested since Demon's Souls was released. But from what I've heard Dark Souls 2 is supposedly the worst game in the series.

>I would rather just played Super Metroid again

Great game. Prime 1 and 2 were great too. Won't get my hopes up for the fourth one (still have only seen the logo), but we'll see.

>Still, it's a ridiculously impressive game. I don't know how they did it. It's absolutely insane that they could make a game like that for the Game Boy. That game is massive.

I miss when new games used to be mind-blowing, it stopped being impressive with the PS3 and 360.

>As it is now, it's a perfect franchise, and the final game was incredible

This is true, one of few franchises were every single game is great. Though I've never really played the GBA ones outside of testing them out emulated but I remember them being good. The three main games are top-notch.

>The Hitachi Magic Wand controller. I wonder if it vibrates. It probably doesn't, but it should.

I loved how Sony's fanboys called the wiimote a dildo and then got a magic wand of their own.

>I have never had a friend to play offline multiplayer with

Neither have I, probably the reason why I enjoyed Melee and Brawl as much as I did. Used to beat the shit out of the hardest AI back then, but when I tried the latest Smash online I got my shit handed to me, I'll blame shit connection.

>Also Wario's first appearance, and Wario is cool

Sad that Wario got relegated to the WarioWare series (which started out great but kind of sucks today) and that the last real Wario game was 11 years ago. Would've liked an RPG or just another Land with Wario and Waluigi, but that's a pipe dream.

>it's painful to think about how much good stuff from like, 10 years ago, that I could have downloaded, but never did, and now it's gone

Same, I've been too lazy to download lots of stuff that's now gone. And I've lost lots of stuff as well since I've been too lazy/too poor to back-up everything. I remember watching CGR way back, used to be good but yeah I think it went to shit and died, have no idea what they're doing now. A newer channel I like is Spawn Wave, good videos about games and tech by someone who's clearly actually interested, and you also get the gaming news read to you without any political bullshit.

>the game keeps getting harder every time you beat it

>One of the videos that I lost was the final stages of Ninja Gaiden, and I beat all three final bosses in a row without dying.

Good luck with mastering Contra. I think Mike mentioned that game getting harder each time in one of their latest Monday videos. That sucks with Ninja Gaiden, but you can do it again if you faito. Should try to beat something myself since it's been a year since last.

>I think if you want a good woman, you're better off being poor, or at least pretending to be poor.

True, the more succesful you are the more roast beef sandwich you'll have orbiting your wallet. Being a manchild loser without any money is a good thot repellant. However I'd think that the good women that are, are recluses just like us, living with their parents, so I'd guess the chances of meeting one while being locked up inside yourself is pretty slim.

>You kill someone and other people don't like it, well, you're dead.

When the boomers were young they could just leave their doors unlocked because no one (except lunatics) would even think about breaking in. You can't do that anymore or else you'd get Somali pirates walking in like they own the place to steal or fuck you up.

There was also this story in the news not too long ago about some teenage girl getting raped by an Afghan and instead of calling the cops that wouldn't do more than give him a slap on the wrist, the father and his friends went to beat the shit out of him. Of course they were punished for it.

>Also horribly destructive cultural influences (western bullshit, including immigration, and excessive capitalism are going to kill Japan, that's my prediction

Well, they are going to go after the east when the west has fallen. South Korea is already pretty far gone to be honest.

>I'd say that if any board out there is definitely not one person, that would be /pol/.

True, ironically the most diverse boards, I also think the "right" is more fragmented than the left at this time. I still lurk both on here and on four since they're two of few places I can tolerate, even if too big and too fast. Kinda nice when someone starts a "redpilled games/anime/cartoons/music" thread and you get a better thread with less idiots than on the topic's own boards. That's not saying that the /pol/s aren't filled with retards though.

And society dying, I don't think we'll ever see an uprising akin to Germany in the early 1930's. Sure there are the Yellow Vests, but people are too cucked and the powers that be has a too tight stranglehold on the world to allow for that to happen. Trump was the closest in modern times, but still he was just another rich upper class man and what he promised was just baby steps, and I think he has shown now once and for all that there are no political solution. Today I probably would just meme vote for a candidate/party like Andrew Yang if there was one. I don't even follow American politics that closely anymore because why care, but $1000 in free neetbux sounds like a good deal even after an inevitable inflation, and if it helps crash society, good. More of the same, or more of the same + $1000. You're fucked either way so why not get a bag of money while being fucked and watching the world burn. Yellow man good.

>This is way too long. It will be mildly annoying to skip, for people that just don't care about any of this.

Had typed up a longer reply some days ago but my laptop froze, so this is what I remember because I'm too tired and as to not blog ramble and clog up the thread too much.

I can't imagine that anything else could be worse. I only played DeS, DaS and DaS2. Dark Souls is my favorite.

>called the wiimote a dildo

It more like an NES controller, except narrow and bad.

>when I tried the latest Smash online I got my shit handed to me, I'll blame shit connection.

Brawl's online multiplayer was absolutely atrocious. I played it quite a bit, considering that it barely even worked. I like lower tier characters like Ganondorf, and for some reason they worked well for me when I played online (Ike was even better, I think, though I don't remember if he was low tier). Maybe hitting like a truck is just better against multiple people. I'm the kind of guy that plays with pretty much every character, though. I kept picking weaker characters until I lost, that was my method. My least favorite character was Meta Knight, funnily enough. Just because his attacks don't feel very satisfying. I like heavier, slower attacks.

>an RPG

Reminds me of Paper Mario. Never played those (haven't played many Mario spinoffs), but Nintendo completely ruined the series, from what I heard. I should play the old ones. I have never done because in my mind, they can't possibly beat Super Mario RPG. Actually, that reminds me of Booster. He kinda looks like Wario.

>And I've lost lots of stuff as well since I've been too lazy/too poor to back-up everything.

Well, now you can just use youtube-dl, so it's easier. Still, I lost things that I didn't have to just because I was too lazy to try this thing out as soon as I heard about it.

>gaming news

I don't keep up with anything. It's just not worth it because this industry just sucks. I avoid news in general, actually.

>I think Mike mentioned that game getting harder each time in one of their latest Monday videos.

If he knows about that, he may actually do it soon. Sounds like something that he would do. Pretty sure that it's only on the Japanese version, though. I haven't played the American version in a long time (the Japanese version is superior), so I don't know what happens. Maybe it gets harder, but only once. I have no idea.

>Should try to beat something myself since it's been a year since last.

It has been a while since I have played a game that I never beat before. I beat Contra before, so it's nothing new. I just felt like playing it, but better this time. Don't really feel the need to play that many new games, though. Improving my skills is a better goal, and I think taking your time can be more helpful than just playing a bunch of new games in a row. I kinda admire people that play games for score, but I don't do that very frequently (mostly when I play Atari).

>>7555

>I'd guess the chances of meeting one while being locked up inside yourself is pretty slim

I think the only way is to attract one to you, probably making something cool online, and becoming an autism magnet. In my case, my goal is to know a shitload about technology and maybe I will learn Japanese (and become a weeb god), so I will be extra cool in the future (well, by my standards), so I guess I could attempt something in the future. I have a lot of ideas. But women can't do that so easily, because no matter what they do, and no matter where they do it, there will instantly be thousands of thirsty betas around them. Actually, this must be one of the worst things about being a woman. Much harder to avoid attention, especially attention that they don't want. This benefits normalfag women, because they have no standards beyond how much money a guy seems to have, or status, or something else like that. For weird women, it must be one hell of a curse.

>the father and his friends went to beat the shit out of him

Maybe killing him (after beating the shit out of him, of course) would have been better, in this case. Riskier, but dead people can't go to the pigs. Also a lot more productive. Now he can come get revenge whenever he wants, but this time with guns, and friends, and he will probably just keep raping anyway. I can't see how you can have a daughter today and let her leave the house. Well, I guess I can, because normalfags are delusional. They still think their safety is guaranteed, somehow. Having children nowadays is a very irresponsible decision.

>South Korea is already pretty far gone to be honest

I don't know what is going on there right now. I stopped paying attention after they got rid of that feminist cunt.

>I also think the "right" is more fragmented than the left at this time

Well, especially when you consider that many of those people aren't right-wing at all. Personally, the definition that I accept is that the right believes in inequality (the extent varies, of course). A lot of those people believe in equality to some extent as long as it's within the race (or religion, which is even worse). Funnily enough, that could arguably make someone more left-wing than some actual communists, that only believe in equality as something that should be artificially created and enforced.

>I still lurk both on here and on four

I haven't been there in a long time. As soon as moot started fucking up, I just left immediately, and then some time later (I don't know how long, maybe a month or two) I heard about this place. It was the first exodus, or whatever people call it. Funnily enough, I didn't even know what the drama was all about until after I left. I didn't go to /pol/ very frequently back then. Only occasionally, because they posted a lot of funny stuff. Pretty much never visited /v/ either (well, except here, but I haven't done it in years because it's fucking shit), so I didn't know anything about GG drama. For some reason, video game boards have never been my thing, even though I probably have more bragging rights than the vast majority of people that go to those boards.

>$1000 in free neetbux sounds like a good deal even after an inevitable inflation, and if it helps crash society, good. More of the same, or more of the same + $1000. You're fucked either way so why not get a bag of money while being fucked and watching the world burn. Yellow man good.

I think this kind of socialism is inevitable anyway, so it doesn't even matter. Guaranteed minimum income will have to happen eventually, because robots are just better than humans in every way, for most tasks. The world is ridiculously overpopulated, there won't be enough jobs for everyone. Most people will be unemployed, in the future. New jobs will be created (that new equipment will inevitably require engineering and maintenance), of course, but not enough, since replacing shitty humans is the goal in the first place. We already have a massive amount of useless, fake jobs that only exist to keep people employed, and this is clearly unsustainable. Basically, there is no choice. Give them the money or crime will be their only option. Just pay people to not destroy society. Sounds fair to me.

The problem is you're thinking like a sane human being and trying to figure out how the best way to deal with a bad situation. If you want to know what's going to happen, you need to think like an insane, demented psychopath.

>How tech's richest plan to save themselves after the apocalypse

http://archive.is/4SAG8

The ongoing plan is to build apocalypse-proof bunkers, completely destroy every trace of civilization and wipe out roughly 90% of the world's population, then use the technology preserved in the bunkers to enslave all survivors and rule over them as gods.

The latter half of that plan is doomed to failure, simply because the people enacting it are completely beyond reason; probably most of them (if not all) would die of drug overdose inside their bunkers, their lives' efforts having been completely in vain.

Whether the former half will work, I can't say. Things are being rushed considerably, I know that much, and the sudden shifts are causing complications.

Most people would probably think the opposite. Maybe being insane is just more rational than being sane. It's not uncommon for geniuses to be considered crazy. Sanity may actually be way too limiting. Billionaires tend to be delusional idiots, but most people think that you would have to be crazy to not waste your entire life making excessive amounts of money that you don't need and doing stupid narrow-minded shit that makes no sense. Maybe I'm the crazy one.

>completely destroy every trace of civilization and wipe out roughly 90% of the world's population

That part doesn't sound bad to me. The people that I like will never be on the winning side of anything, though. It's just how this planet works. I don't see how the future can possibly not be bad. We will keep developing more technology, and because of nature, freedom will have to be restricted more as it grows. It will give the individual more power, so the collective will have more excuses to restrict individual freedoms even more. Maybe I already made this point, but right now you could build a drone and easily use it to kill people with bombs or projectiles. You have that power right now. Only surveillance can really keep you from doing that. Freedom is fucked, unless humans are replaced. A next step in evolution is necessary, because we aren't meant to have as much power as we have. Maybe the Principality of Zeon is what we really need at this point, in a transitional period. Just kill the normalfags with Zakus, I guess. Well, my solution is just extinction. I don't think humanity has what it takes to save itself from the hell that it's creating for itself. The real problem here is that humans are shit, and also don't know when to stop. We just keep blindly moving "forward" regardless of the consequences. Well, I say "we", but I'm not involved in any of that. I am almost completely detached from whatever the dumb apes are doing.

>the thought of plugging my brain or transferring my consciousness to a super computer never fails to give me a raging boner

Reminds me of Magi. I see the appeal, but I wouldn't accept that. No guarantees that I would be able to die if I wanted to. And it would be easy to change me against my will if I just became software in a machine. Then again, this is just assuming that I would die in the process, and that is not the case. If I could own a computer containing a copy of myself (it would still be me, just another variant), that could be pretty nice. But I can't say that I wouldn't change it, and try to make it better than the original.

A robot body would be more interesting, but only if external forces had no access. Then again, it would be cooler to do that if other people couldn't do the same, so if everyone could do it, it would lose a lot of the appeal. Can't be a robot superhero (well, potentially villain, from most perspectives, and it's not unlikely that I would just turn into a complete monster) with a huge arsenal of crazy weapons if everyone else is also a robot. Equality sucks ass, doesn't it? But it would still be nice. I could choose my own design, and live much longer, and just keep doing what I already do, and maybe upgrading my own hardware. Well, fighting other robots could be cool too. Actually, just the fact that I think this proves that maybe it's not something that humans should be able to do. Imagining being a robot, the first thing that I think is "it sure would be nice to use that to destroy everything that I dislike", not a good sign, is it?

>That part doesn't sound bad to me.

Don't get me wrong; I won't miss the current miserable, stagnant, unsustainable system when it inevitably collapses. What I take issue with is that it as things stand the system won't be replaced with something better, and in fact every person and scrap of knowledge that could ever lead to a better system will be destroyed by the bumbling idiots who currently rule the world in their attempt to force a "reset" that'd let them preserve their power.

>A robot body would be more interesting, but only if external forces had no access.

Personally, I always liked the idea of telerobotics. Fatal accidents would be reduced to minor nuisances; having to use your backup body until the replacement arrives. It'd probably even be possible to achieve without cybernetics, which would eliminate the "is it still me?" issue.

>My least favorite character was Meta Knight, funnily enough.

Same here, him and Sonic were probably the two I liked the least in that game. The slower characters actually did work better in Brawl's horrendous online.

>Nintendo completely ruined the series, from what I heard

They sadly did ruin Paper Mario, and the Mario & Luigi series seems mediocre at best now. Super Mario RPG was a great game and Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga too. I'd say that one is on par with Mario RPG or maybe even better, but that might be nostalgia talking. Still, both are very good. Paper Mario isn't even an RPG series anymore since they want to focus on the paper gimmick. Super Paper Mario is fine, but nowhere near the two "real" Paper Marios. I played a bit of it on the Wii but never beat it, and even with it being different it wasn't bad. But the newer ones look like shit. Like with most Mario games now it's the same with the RPG series, they lack the charm and "edge" they had before and feel more generic. I don't know if they don't dare to take any risks with Mario anymore, and if that's the case just make an edgy Wario & Waluigi RPG instead then. But then again, it's Nintendo so what the fuck.

>I avoid news in general, actually.

Heh. Would have no chance becoming an autism magnet myself with no skills and not wanting any attention.

>I can't see how you can have a daughter today and let her leave the house.

The least fitting people are always the ones having children. Though even if you did raise them well, you're still forced to send them to school here were they get raped by 30 year old "refugee children" while being fed propaganda and taught to love everyone but hate themselves, their parents and their own. You'll have to jump through a million hoops if you want to homeschool them and still be denied. Even without the propaganda and the risk you'll get your kids raped or beat up, forced compulsory education is still retarded.

>I don't know what is going on there right now. I stopped paying attention after they got rid of that feminist cunt.

I'd say South Korea probably is the most americanised and progressed non-western country. They also have some disgusting feminist organisations.

>or religion

The "right-wingers" I hate the most are the retards that only care for religion and act like that is the only problem in the world. All Christians are good and equal and there's no limit to how many Christian immigrants we can take from anywhere in the world, but still they call themselves "conservative". And of course Israel is our greatest ally and more important than your own people.

>Pretty much never visited /v/ either (well, except here, but I haven't done it in years because it's fucking shit), so I didn't know anything about GG drama.

Used to live on 4/v/ way back when it was comfy. I occasionally go back and realise immediately it's shit. Funnily enough I was the least interested in gaming when the GG drama was going down, so I never even got involved.

>Just pay people to not destroy society. Sounds fair to me.

Agree. Just looking at the shithole town I live in, with the flood of immigrants these past years, there are no jobs and no homes. The prices of homes and rent have skyrocketed. But society still wants you to get a job before even thinking about begging for neetbux, so your only choice then, if you're not "lucky" enough to get to wagecuck at a grocery store or as a burger flipper, would be to get a fake job for retards that still pay less than being a welfare kang would. Which this shithole thinks is good, because it makes the employment rate seem higher. Also cut down on or completely cut foreign aid, this only teaches third worlders to sit on their ass and do nothing while waiting for whiteys/yellows help, help which only leads them to multiply in their already overpopulated countries even faster. Better to give that money to your own.

>the "is it still me?"

I think that's not really a problem. With that kind of technology, you could exist in multiple places at the same time. If the copies are independent, then they will technically still be you, or multiple different versions of you, but would become increasingly different over time (and if they are not, then you would end up becoming kind of a hive mind, controlling multiple bodies). Becoming anything else other than what you currently are (losing your human limitations would pretty much mean that you are no longer human) would be a huge change that would make you question your own identity. Your sense of self would have to change quite a lot. It would force you to realize that it was always kind of a vague concept anyway. It's not like you are ever the same person that you were just a moment before. And technically, every time you realize a possibility or make a choice, you are killing every other version of yourself, or preventing their existence. Your current self is always the possibility that happened to defeat every other possibility, while your past selves are dead, and the alternatives that didn't succeed just continue to be pure potential, I guess. Having copies of yourself all over the place would allow more possibilities to actually happen. Every version of a person that failed to manifest in this reality would have more chances to do so. Kinda interesting. Maybe I would want that, not too sure that it's worth doing when you can create something better than yourself. Just creating myself would be kind of a biased and irrational thing to do. I can easily imagine other beings that would deserve to exist a lot more than I do.

>The slower characters actually did work better in Brawl's horrendous online.

Tiers didn't seem to matter that much. I used some high tier characters, like Marth and Snake, but it really didn't matter that much considering how much I won using Ganondorf, and he was supposed to be the worst. Really fun, though. Characters that hit really hard are fun to use. Time an attack well enough and you can take out all three opponents in one hit.

>But then again, it's Nintendo so what the fuck.

That's how I feel. I just don't trust them to do anything well.

>Ignorance is bliss.

Not even detrimental in my case. I know where things are going, so nothing that people tell me ever surprises me. No reason to really pay attention to any of that.

>Would have no chance becoming an autism magnet myself with no skills and not wanting any attention.

Well, attention on the internet is easier to deal with. And I feel the need to create something anyway, because I have a lot of ideas. I think it's related to age, because this need has been growing considerably over time. A few years ago, I was fine with just enjoying entertainment, but that seems to be changing. I think that won't be enough in a few years. That's why I feel the need to learn more. I just need to have a lot of knowledge about a lot of things. Skills as well. It's just something that my mind seems to be asking for.

>you're still forced to send them to school

There is no way in hell that I could do that. Having children is pretty evil, but even adoption would be a problem in my case. I don't think I could let a kid interact with the outside world at all.

>I'd say South Korea probably is the most americanised and progressed non-western country.

Probably Worst Korea. But even China and Japan are very western in a way. Just look at how materialistic and greedy they are.

>The "right-wingers" I hate the most are the retards that only care for religion and act like that is the only problem in the world.

Those are the people that I argued with the most. Christianity and Islam are both like that. Hell, they used to be pretty much the same. Both religions spread the same way, and are similar to begin with.

>Used to live on 4/v/ way back when it was comfy.

I have never been much of a /v/ guy. There have always been very few threads that interested me, and they are generally about the same games. I posted the same exact thing so many times that it quickly got really boring. I also have no interest in anything new, and talking about video games in general isn't very common, so it's just not my thing. It's really weird, because I can talk about games forever, but video game boards never seem to give me anything to talk about.

>Better to give that money to your own.

I was very against socialism in the past, but that was irrational, because fuck the economy. I was already kind of an accelerationist at the time, but now I'm fully committed. The economy has to die for its own sake. Our societies are garbage, and saving the economy won't change that. Personally, all I want is to distance myself from society as much as possible. Society is making this more difficult, but technology is making it easier.

None of those people care the tiniest iota about religion. Their holy book says that homosexuals should be put to death and women shouldn't be allowed to talk in public, and they don't even blink at lesbian priests. None of them are aware that John defined "antichrist" as "someone who claims to be a jew but is not and denies the existence of God"; they just line up to give their life savings and eternal loyalty to self-proclaimed "atheist jews". Repeated warnings about "false jews whose synagogues are synagogues of Satan" from the guy they supposedly worship, and they blindly believe that any arab with a goofy hat is a "jew" and let them build synagogues in their country. A specific warning not to be taken in by con artists who exploit the faithful: utterly ignored. The parable telling them that they'll face eternal damnation if they merely call themselves "Christian" and don't actually pay any attention to what they're supposed to be doing: equally ignored.

The virtue-signalling idiots running their country into the ground over nice-sounding ideas that have no bearing on reality are just that: virtue-signalling idiots. They are as incapable of having religion as they are of having common sense. Ideally, a eugenics program would keep the average IQ from dropping that low, but we're past the point where such a thing could even be fully comprehended, much less considered.

Just sounds like another dessert people religion. Everybody like to hate on the greatest game it town because they know they can't match it. Lefties love to hate because their god is a DSM5.PD.Cluster-B.Histrionic. Righties like to hate because they are afraid of monkeys (cough black people) and don't want to think that a money made them. They are both whinny incompetent children much too happy to masturbate compulsively. They don't invent smart-phones. They don't speak binary. They occasionally have a Flat Earther. They are just primitive people acting out their socially reinforced ethos of hate and conceitedness. They don't even stop on the way to check is the gravity is just right.

No, you're thinking of atheism there. The Jews who became the Christians had blonde hair and blue eyes, and (when they had competent leadership) were the sworn enemies of the curly-haired, hook-nosed Baal cultists who regularly tried to usurp them.

Unless you genuinely believe that the arabs currently squatting on the Holy Land are completely honest, do not project their own misdeeds on others, and have shown no tendencies of trying to infiltrate, subvert, corrupt, and/or take over another race's society and culture? Normally I wouldn't imagine that anyone with the mental faculties to post on an imageboard could be that naive, but I must admit the facebook-tier I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE!!! normalfag meme gives me pause.

I'm not part of this discussion/topic, but I just wanted to hop in and say that I like the pdf you made. I know its just a simple short word document but I feel comfy opening it up and reading it for some reason. its odd and stupid, I know but I like reading things that aren't more than 10 pages sorry if I'm coming across as some caveman brainlet being impressed seeing fire for the first time.

No I'm really flattered. I agree, it's nice to have a concise document that isn't too fruity. Though at the same time is a real document.

Off topic, I actually use pandoc (https://pandoc.org/) to convert a markdown file to PDF. Pandoc does this with Latex, so that's why the PDF looks so posh. I don't mean to come off as highfalutin, I just love when the computer is a big toy and not a computer. I get that from using weird tools. >>7595

Spontaneously collapsed in a heap on the floor in my room tonight for what felt like hours, due to an overwhelming crescendo of the usual tension, boredom, misery, and all around general fatigue I feel every single day. Even after getting up, I still felt absolutely terrible. No reason as to why I wouldn't be, of course. No matter how awful I feel and no matter how long I choose to lay around with my face against the floor begging for a swift, unseen end to somehow finally come to me, inevitably, when I finally get up, I'll still be here. Trapped with my miserable little self, in my miserable little hole. I'm lost in a sea of my own restlessness and these waves of intensely painful sorrow I experience, intermingled with near bottomless sensations of emptiness, will never stop until I'm dead. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't always feel like shit, only to be broken up by moments like these where I really, REALLY feel like shit. The insufferable miasma of my own presence always hangs about me like a noxious, purple cloud and is totally inescapable. Truthfully, there never really is a moment where I don't feel at least slightly like crap. Hell, "slightly like crap", that'd be a good day, frankly.

In the end, my life is a tortuous grind towards nothing & nowhere that's worn my sanity & emotions down to flakes of dust, but I limp on enduring it becuase I'm still too timid to stick a gun in my mouth and pull the trigger. Why did this have to happen? Why did I need to come into this terrible world? How much longer must this go on for? How near or how far am I towards the ultimate end of all this awfulness? It all swirls around in my head like a centrifuge to the point of exploding, often taking the form of a throbbing headache, due to the palpable negative pressure it puts on my mind. I can quite literally feel the weight of my own thoughts, as if there's a tumor growing heavier & heavier within the confines of my skull. On that note, I hate myself & everything so much that I do seriously feel like I'm going to give myself brain cancer someday, assuming I haven't already. No matter what I say, it's never enough to properly convey how bad it all is. Perhaps nothing ever could. Even if I screamed at the top of my lungs & threw myself against the walls of my room 24/7, I'd still feel like I have duct tape over my mouth/soul. What else can be said, I guess. It'll only get worse, until the worst of all, only to be trumped by something even worse later on. That's all life will ever be to me. Damn it.
