A character who seems evil but is actually good.

A character who seems good but is actually evil.

Which do you prefer?

>>43784

The first one.

>>43783

Well if everybody in the world started feeling terrible for no reason all at once, that'd probably be pretty bad.

>>43784

It might seem simplistic, but I prefer good characters that are good and evil characters who are evil. If it's a choice between the two of them, I guess the first would win over some Disney plot twist villain.

>>43787

(The first, as in, a "character who seems evil but is actually good")

>>43784

I prefer morally ambiguous characters who aren't inherently good or evil, but rather just excessively rational to the point where they cannot be heavily swayed by such feeling alone, and need some form of reason on top of it. Preferably due to a complete lack of natural sense for morals to begin with.

Because I could closer identify with such characters, and understand them much easier. Regardless of which side of the story they're on.

Sadly, most often, such characters are portrayed as completely amoral and evil for it. Or at least always easily swayed by evil forces because evil forces are usually good with words of manipulation. With no intention or motivation for continuing interaction with the society they live in.

Like, almost never will you see such a character rationally arguing *against* theft or murder because it makes it difficult to cooperate with others out of fear of having it done to yourself, for example. But rather they'd just rationalize such problem-causing actions away as "only an issue morally", which frustrates me to high hell.

>>43790

I don't like those kinds of anti-villains. It usually feels like the producers are trying to convince the viewers that they, and all of the stories they've read before are stupid, but their own bit of media can cure them of that. In reality, I'm sure there's no shortage of crooks who simply don't care about the damage they're doing to other people, and there's nothing silly or unrealistic about that.

Well, I guess "Trolley Problem Wikipedia Article" villains and villains with internal monologues are different things, but that just makes it a matter of presentation. But what's the point of getting so deep into the villain's psychology, when the viewer can just think of good reasons to rob a bank themselves? It's not like every single particularity of every character and their motivations has to be explained.

>>43793

Oh, it's certainly not that previous stories are stupid at all, that's obviously not entirely true. But rather, that those stories don't cover absolutely every case. There certainly are people who will not be swayed by morals alone.

The only potential thing to really "cure" is the oversimplified low resolution view on good and evil, but there's countless pre-existing tropes to attempt to counter that. Such portrayals are definitely not alone in this.

There are plenty crooks that don't care about the damage to others. That's incredibly normal, yes. I'm not saying do away with those at all. They're also a good part of stories.

But to leave it at that is kind of annoying.

It's fine for children's stories where you're just trying to indoctrinate morals as hard as possible. But that can't be everything.

>But what's the point of getting so deep into the villain's psychology, when the viewer can just think of good reasons to rob a bank themselves?

Now that, that is a very important question.

I honestly believe there is good and evil in all of us. And learning to deal with that is important. Sometimes "Good is good and bad is bad" is not enough. Sometimes even "I'll get caught and punished" is not enough.

People will often question why they don't just rob banks themselves, naturally. They will definitely think of good reasons to, for motivation, but they should also end up thinking of reasons NOT to, for self protection. Those "reasons not to" are an incredibly valuable defense mechanism. Especially for people who are not immediately swayed by morals alone. Because "evil" often has a way with words for issues that "good" takes for granted.

Through such things you can pacify sociopaths with reason for all sides. Before they bud into actually malicious individuals out of hate for oversimplification of morals that, to them, just doesn't make any damn sense. They're not inherently evil for it, they just think differently and need a little more convincing both from themselves and others.

Also, I didn't mean just villains. I meant even good guys too, though kind of hypothetically there because I'm drawing a blank on specifics that don't just degrade into good vs evil in the end.

A SOMEWHAT good example is probably Akumetsu, the manga.

He's tentatively taking a "good" side, but absolutely does not understand it. He's self admittedly stupid, but absolutely open to reason. Not manipulation, reason.

In a world where the majority of the system is corrupt. Trying to figure out who is doing good and who is doing bad, in results rather than morals alone. Testing the few acting as good to make sure they're more than words of moral fellatio. Killing many of the guilty. And dying as many times as it takes in the process.

A proper vigilante, I guess.

Though he misses the point A LOT. And doesn't seem to understand that usury itself perpetuating debt/risk is the main issue behind the majority of problems there. But at least questioning why the debt/loan system isn't working as it should. As far as I read anyway.

And I fucking LOVE it when a truly evil person just acting with such a stance to manipulate others into evil gets his face smacked in for it. ShutUpHannibal and whatnot. That is some good shit. When evil IS just evil for evil's sake, they do indeed need to be punished straight out rather than let run.

Whoa that was long. I'm sorry for that.

>>43792

They're also for save management than multiple people using them.

I always loved getting my own copies of games so that I could copy old saves at specific parts of games over to other slots and revisit them many times. Or be able to rewind several saves/hours back if a bad decision screwed me out of something.

Sharing with others was nothing more than a nuisance. One that emulating solves due to proper file management for saves that allows nigh endless different saves in parallel for the same game. Even for cartridge games.

Having different memory cards on disc based systems was also a good solution. Especially since they could be used with each other for proper multiplayer. That was some good shit. Much more social and fulfilling than seeing each others saves take up slots when saving and loading.

>>43796

I can see how something like that might be an issue when it comes to things like visual novels, or those games that don't let you do certain things twice, but for the most part, I haven't found much use in having multiple saves, personally. Maybe something like that might come up in tactics or battle sim games with permanent choices and outcomes.

Anyway, as with the image I posted, online save sharing would definitely be useful for a game like Animal Crossing. And I know there aren't actually that many games like it, but there's still other genres with leaderboards and that kind of stuff. Just seeing your own name over and over in those kind of sucks, unless maybe you've never been able to make a top score at an arcade. Online leaderboards are never local enough short of tracking down your coordinates without your permission and using them (I, for one, would totally do this, but I'm not responsible for the online services of any game consoles).

I do know that it's a gimmick, but just seeing other save slots being used would make me feel happy, I think. Game consoles try so hard to feel social, and I feel like I'm not really giving them a fair chance when I buy one without having any friends. I don't actually want to buy a new console though, so it's easiest with emulation.

>>43794

Sorry, I don't think that there's a lot I can add in response to that though. That manga sounds very interesting in the way you describe it though, so I'll have to check it out. From the sounds of it, I guess it has this young protagonist who adds a bunch of world expositioning, just by publicly questioning everything he sees around him?

>>43800

Yeah, something like that.

There's not a lot of "good" though, at all. So it's mostly just ass kicking and killing those who appear to be the bad guys. Publicly killing them and "himselves" over and over, pretty much just hoping it resolves something, because that's better than standing still.

Like in real life, so very few even realize there is so many problems with corruption and ways to fix them. So almost no one is proactive in fixing anything at all, for better or worse.

Far as I got it was at least interesting. Don't remember where or why I stopped. Probably because it missed the point of what specifically was wrong with the world so hard so many times.

Being so creative is actually hurting me. It's getting in the way of me doing anything else. My mind is constantly racing with all of these different ideas and my hands are constantly searching for something to mold. Producing music, drawing, programming and more. I've tried so many different things. It's one thing to silently dream of making an animation or a video game, but it's completely different when one actually has the potential to do it.

I don't like this. I don't like this one bit. I genuinely don't feel well. If I get consumed by the light, I'll die. And I've already promised her that I will not die. But don't get me wrong, I'm not going to stop being creative. I just need to learn how to express my creative potential in a less intense and more manageable way.

>>43802

Can you actually draw or produce music though?

>>43803

Not really. I'd say I'm still at level 1 in doing such things, which is the equivalent of being able to do a single pull-up. Level 2 is when I can start doing multiple pull-ups at once.

But still, since those skill levels are above zero, they no longer qualify as impossible in my eyes. That alone makes indulging in them enticing.

>>43802

Even just feeling creative is something I both admire and dread. Much like the mindset of a child. It's wonderful and incredibly scary, inherently so.

It's something I stamped out years ago. I don't even remember if that was intentional, but it's definitely a done deal now.

So creativity and childish wonder are foreign to me. And that makes me feel so safe, like in control and rational. No matter how much joy I may be missing out on due to it, I much prefer it this way.

Others will create for me, thankfully. All I have to do is think, work, and play; nothing as unreliable and terrifying as creating or believing things I do not understand.

>>43804

I wouldn't say you're creative then. Just imaginative. The line is drawn at practicality.

>>43802

I understand this to an extent. it's one of the reasons I have slowly been stopping drawing. It's far too consuming, and that is even when I am not good at it. If I could draw as well as I like I don't think I would ever be able to enjoy anything again. I would watch an anime or play a game and get an idea that I have to draw at that moment. The other thing that worries me is I would not enjoy other peoples art as much the better I could draw myself.

>>43811

Learning to let go of the need to draw is just as important as learning to hold on. You don't have to let it consume you.

Having skill to create doesn't inherently cause anhedonia, it just makes you more critical of things you could create.

I'd actually say that makes it more consistently enjoyable, because you eventually understand what makes art enjoyable on a more articulate level, as you know how to create it. Even if the "magic" of not understanding it is lost, there's still normal enjoyment.

Kind of like understanding positive and negative feedback in video games, and how that creates motivation to continue them, rather than just getting lost in it.

Shit like that just normally happens as you grow up. It's okay.

>>43812

Being critical of the things one could create would cause anhedonia in of itself, as would understanding how it is made. Yes you may appreciate it on an articulate level but you will sooner spot issues as well and consciously or even subconsciously compare it to your own work.

>>43813

If just comparing things and considering them to be less than ideal makes them entirely unenjoyable to you, that's a pre-existing issue that's quite a bit larger than creativity.

Same for if noticing issues alone and being able to put them into words, rather than just experiencing those issues firsthand, makes something inherently less enjoyable.

That part in particular makes it easier for me to enjoy things because I can separate off what is unenjoyable, put it into words, and accept that it's there. Rather than letting what small negative emotion it causes take over the entire concept of something as a whole. Like I can say I DO like something, but "do not like that particular part".

My imaginary girlfriend just exposed me. She pointed at me and told me exactly what my primary character flaw is, one which I unconsciously pretend doesn't exist.

>>43814

That's how it works with everybody, if you don't notice an issue in something it won't lessen your view of it, if you do it will. Sure you may be able to still accept it and find enjoyment with it, but your view has still been affected, particularly if you can both notice these issues and know you can make something better without them.

>>43816

Even if I don't specifically notice something I would experience it. It would lessen my view of it, I just would not be able to explain why.

For example, I used to not be able to enjoy shounen manga/anime at all because something vague just irritated me that much. But now that I can pick off what I do not like about it and accept them as things I don't like, rather than attributing them to the genre as a whole, that is no longer an issue.

Regardless, something being relatively sub-par is not a valid reason for considering something to be absolutely unenjoyable. That's certainly fallacious.

Things will always be relatively better or worse than others. Comparing them to your personal ability to create makes no reasonable difference. They're still valid entertainment on their own even if yours is somehow better or worse.

Comparing and contrasting things is a natural thing to do. Throwing away absolutely everything but the best of the best of the best just because everything else is relatively worse is absurd.

Getting depressed over that is probably only something that happens because you worry it will depress you.

>>43817

That's still noticing it just not understanding what it is you are noticing.

As I said, you can still enjoy it just not as much as you would if you had not noticed an issue with it.

> Comparing them to your personal ability to create makes no reasonable difference.

it makes a lot of difference.

>Getting depressed over that is probably only something that happens because you worry it will depress you.

Maybe, I overthink thinks sometimes.

How do I achieve Satori?

What's the deal with all these videos about 'facts'. I see titles such as 'top 10 facts about...', 'facts you probably didn't know about...' and so forth. Could it be that people are naturally attracted to facts?

>>43823

Everybody wants to know it all, or at least be a know-it-all.

>>43823

Click bait.

>>43823

What >>43825 said. These kinds of titles have been found to naturally draw people in. Use of numbers and use of "you" are typical of these kinds of things.

How long has it been since YOU last checked your email?

I miss the cooking thread we had.. but I guess it's hard to keep it going

XHTML wasn't given a proper chance. I've been doing some screwing around with it right now, and it's perfectly capable of serving current needs, and unlike HTML5, it doesn't have a bunch of arbitrary restrictions all over the place.

In a dream, I was walking in a large city with my busty female companions. Then some loli police officer blocked my path and told us that using up so much oxygen is against the law. I calmly explained to her that all of my female companions aren't alive, but are rather undead, Jiangshi to be specific, and are under my control. I also said that I was the one who killed them in the first place. She then let us pass.

I'm not sure what's weirder, using up a lot of oxygen being outlawed or the police officer not caring that I was a literal murderer.

I'm doing things too quickly. I don't like it. I actually prefer to do things slowly, but the satisfaction of learning something new is tempting. I'm far more of a blue Oni than a red one, so I enjoy myself more when I take in things slowly and appreciate all of the little details. If I keep rushing, I will miss out on so many of those details that I find so interesting.

Yes, learning 50 new skills is an ambitious goal to achieve in a year and I'm not planning on giving up on it, but if I blaze through everything, it'll hardly be as though I did anything. Also, a big thing is that learning new skills is getting in the way of working on old ones, which is especially annoying because even my Japanese learning is being affected. That's not good at all, because on my resolution I wrote down learning Japanese as one of the first things. Learning Japanese is genuinely really important to me.

New 8ch incident, might go down for a bit. Reminder about the bunker sites, 4taba.net/all and maybe nanashi@bbs.shiptoasting.com.

I love alpacas and I love the Komeiji family. Yesterday I was dreaming that I was traveling to japan to live on an alpaca farm. There I met cute little baby alpacas. I was so excited by that dream that I couldn't go back to sleep.

I feel like I've been having interesting dreams lately, but I can't really remember any of them. SOrry if it's my obligation to share here.

I woke up saying "YUKARI". I thought such dramatic things only happen in anime.

>>43871

Fucked up that last post, oh well.

Add it to the list.

This would make a solid NTR VN actually.

And then Anon woke up.

>>43871

That was pretty entertaining. I have no experiences related to love, so your story made me feel like I'm learning something new. That being said, I have one question. How can you regret nothing if you regret being born?

>>43877

You can not regret things you don't have control over.

My birth was my parent's choice.

>>43880

You know you could've just pressed "B" to cancel right?

>>43871

Entertaining story. Reminds me of that longass story posted on /progrider/.

haha, want gf

My left eyelid's been twitching like crazy, so now I know how horrible it is to be somebody with a twitchy eyelid.

I really don't like "Chinese anime/manga". I've seen a few images of such nonsense, and it unnerves me. Something about it just feels fundamentally wrong. Also, for whatever reason, I'm pretty good at telling the difference between Japanese art and Chinese imitations.

I've always been kind of wary of Chinese people, and I'm not a big fan of their food, but at least my irrational racism towards them isn't nearly as severe as my racism towards India. At least China is indirectly responsible for one thing I really like, which is Kanji.

I will become stronger.

>>43901

Me too!

Oh who am I kidding..

I don't like Asuka. Nearly all of her character traits are ones which I'm indifferent to at best and repulsed by at worst. From the moment she was introduced, I knew I hated her. I don't like tsunderes. I don't like twintails. I don't like the color red (when compared to colors like blue or purple). I especially don't like bitches.

On the other hand, when I first watched Eva, I fell in love with Rei at first sight. I still think about her with high-regard to this day, even though that love has long since faded. I would go as far as to classify her as my first crush.

I think this says a lot about me as a person.

BOOBS:

Platonic; rationalist; end in itself; noble

BUTTS:

Empiricist; materialistic; means to an end; base

>>43906

Butts have potential discoloration from unwiped shit.

I do not have a lot of money for hostels or capsule hoterus. Maybe.

What would happen if I just took a few towels and slept on them in a park?

>>43910

You'd be treated as a homeless person or a passed out drunk. Might run into trouble, might be left alone. People won't like it regardless.

Manga cafes are the popular meme service for staying at cheaply. Not that I'd really recommend that. Some supposedly even deny your stay after so many days.

You should really take care of where you'd stay before traveling. Not just to Japan, but anywhere.

>>43905

What do you not like about red?

>>43917

selfish; hostile; inconsiderate; (etc.)

>>43918

So you think red amplifies those traits more? It's understandable since the color has a habit of making the user appear dominant, aggressive, angry, dangerous, passionate, and hotheaded.

What then, do you like about the blue & purple colors?

>>43919

oh, that's not me. I was only offering suggestions

>>43920

Even if you're not that anon, could you make suggestions on why blue & purple could be likable colors?

>>43922

I guess that, being on the cooler end of the spectrum, they'd generally indicate opposite traits. To me though, those colours can only really be associated with sickness, I guess that means I'm not very creative.

In any case, I think selflessness, neutrality (not being afraid to at least just keep your ideas inside your own mind), and not being afraid to be a little dishonest are good qualities that will lead to happy relationships. Rei doesn't really possess the EQ to demonstrate any of those qualities, but I guess it's what those cooler colours might be associated with.

I was part of a gang. I wasn't well-treated but I was kept around because I had psychic powers. Most of them spent their time just squatting, smoking and looking menacing while I tried my best to stay in dark corners as far as I could from them. I'm not sure what I was doing there or why they couldn't just find another psychic. While spending some time away from the gang as part of some kind of investigation for them, I saw a person who despite looking normal had the "famous" classification. I decided to talk to him for some reason and he was moved by whatever I said. Later, I visited a website similar to Youtube but not really and saw that exact person talking about how he wants a person he met recently to not kill himself. It was fairly obvious he was speaking about me. I was going to leave a comment on the video with my account, which had a Ayanami Rei profile picture, but I decided against it for some reason.

Shortly after, I found myself in a different dream. I knew that in order to find success in this world, one needs to pass school. But in order to pass school, one must either succeed the test or take the class. It came off as though you had to choose one or the other. Despite that, I decided I would apply for both anyways. When I arrived at the school I found out that the test was merely a ruse to weed out the overconfident and impatient people. Anyways, in the school, to enter the first class, one must first pass by some kind of place with security guards who ask you a bunch of questions. The most notable and important question was "What's your shot type?", as if referring to the shot-types in Touhou. I was handed a tray with two thin pieces of red clay on it and told to show off what mine looks like. I twirled the two pieces together in such a way that they resembled the Lance of Longinus from Evangelion. The security guard asked me a bunch of other questions about my RPG stats or something but I don't remember. Then in the class itself I saw a man wearing a military uniform and had the head of a frog. He had the special ability to create clones of himself, and someone in the crowd told me his ability is an abnormal one which no one else has. I didn't seam afraid of him in the slightest.

Applied to a local company. They were kind, but it feels like I can still hear them talking about me and my dumb resume.

-My imaginary girlfriend. She says some pretty weird things some times.

Today I watched Boogiepop Phantom for a bit and I noticed that it seems very similar to Lain. They even used the same sound effects at some parts

>>43948

Lain is way better than Boogiepop though.

Just finished Sekiro..

What a game. Did anyone here play it?

I've recently gotten into Gundam and I just finished watching Char's Counterattack. All I can say is that Char just wanting a woman to become his mother is a motivation I can relate to. So far, my favorite mecha in the series is the Hyaku Shiki and my favorite girl is Four.

I was thinking that I should buy a Gunpla and try to make it. Building models is a skill, but the idea of me buying something just because I watched what is essentially a glorified commercial for said thing makes me feel sort of 'degraded' in a way.

I feel like hell is approaching towards me from all sides. Whereever I go and whatever I do, it's demons this or hell that. Maybe I would belong into such a place.

>>43956

Elaborate. Do you mean demons as in actual demons, really bad people or something else?

>>43960

Nothing exciting of that kind. But recently I've been really obsessed with Satania and the mythological figure of cerberus. And the other day the song "Glasya Labola" come on my shuffle playlist while I was thinking about that. I've also been spending most of my free time playing a textbased MMO called hellmoo.

8ch has a memory leak issue for me, where if I leave any threads up it progressively makes any browser I use take up more and more RAM until it starts eating into swap and fucking performance over. The more threads, the worse it gets.

So I only leave this thread up and do not reply to any others. For what reason I chose this one I do not really know.

I am sorry for this, surely at least it slightly impacts other threads being so dead.

But restarting my browser multiple times per day is absolutely undesirable.

>>43963

I prefer to keep my browser closed whenever I can. Other threads probably don't upload that much that you need to keep your eye on them at all times.

>>43962

I've been hearing about hellmoo constantly lately. I might try signing up to it myself.

>>43964

>keep your eye on them at all times

Oh, no. I don't keep threads up to keep an eye on them. But rather so that I don't have to keep an eye on them to read new responses. Browser tab turns another color and the icon changes. A single glance alert rather than parsing the board.

I'm not a good liar. I'm always true to myself so lying is very hard for me. It's easy to see how that can cause trouble.

Perhaps even lying is a skill which I must learn.

Just take a little control over your own computer, there's no need to use Windows or follow whatever the current trend for Linux distributions is.

I guess the society or 3DPD things are a little more complicated though. Are you complaining about anything in particular, or are you just on a manperiod?

>>43986

In my case of 3DPD & society, I feel it's because I don't have very good social skills which has gotten me into misunderstandings & trying to appear as something that I'm not by masking so that I wouldn't be look autistic to my peers. Needless to say, it drains me of my energy.

>>43988

Do you enjoy being around other people?

>>43989

Not always, I feel uncomfortable if I don't know them, but in Japan I felt more comfortable to talk to the people despite not personally knowing them.

>>43984

You could just play old programs. Or newer forked versions of old programs.

Elona is still going strong, for example, both Elona+ (Custom/Custom-G) and omake based forks like OO-En or oomSEST.

As for browsers and websites, I don't really know. There's no real good option that's efficient, fast, and capable of using uBlock/uMatrix. I use Firefox and limit myself to imageboards alone, using youtube-dl and JDownloader2 to grab linked content for local playback.

>>43990

>but in Japan I felt more comfortable to talk to the people despite not personally knowing them

Well, that's probably easier because they have so many rituals for formality and proper standards for physical contact.

Regardless, it really does help to narrow down and articulate your problems with society, or anything in general.

>>43992

From what I've narrowed down, anxiety & worry are the common theme I noticed.

Since I felt more relaxed in Japan than anxious even during the crowd hours, I would agree that their rules gave me a breather. Usually when it comes to rules though, I don't go out of my way to break them, but I do question some that make no sense to me personally.

My nails grow too long, too quickly. No matter how regularly I trim them, it's not long until they become monstrous again. It's like shaving.

The idea of it is kind of cool though. They're like a bound weapon. They're handy too, for scratching itches. But it's still humiliating when people point them out.

>>43996

Why is it humiliating? As long as you keep them in fine shape and don't let them get filthy or terribly damaged, long nails are a sign of wealth, a sign of not having to manually labour. And if you do let them get filthy/damaged then you really should just trim them more often.

I used to trim them every single day. It's not a large issue to do so, as it takes less time than properly brushing teeth.

Nowadays, since quitting my job, I only trim them maybe once every week or two, when the cuticles reach between 5-6mm length.

No one has commented on them at all. Though they do get some rare jealous glances from females. Much like my long eyelashes as a child, or my long and thin fingers. What little of me appears feminine, that is.

Whatever you do though, don't try and keep just one nail long. Even for scratching an itch or something. People refer to that as a coke nail. For quickly and sloppily measuring and raising cocaine to the nose to inhale. So THAT definitely has negative social implications.

>>43997

Every now and then, a girl tells me outright that they're jealous of my nails. They have this crystalline, geometric structure which I was told once comes from a deficiency in calcium or something. They're very strong also, clipping them is a bit of a chore because of how much force needs to be applied, and they make loud, noticeable sounds when tapped against surfaces. They're basically like those nail extensions that seem to be popular with girls (just much less sharp and talon-like on the ends).

They're generally clean, except for the pinkies which occasionally get a bit of a yellowish tinge on the tips from earwax. Ever since I was young, I've had a habit of constantly scooping out dead skin from beneath them, because they're long and thin enough to reach under the gap between the finger and the nail. So there's no issues there, either.

The main thing is just what you said, that only people who don't have to work get these kinds of nails. It looks unkempt, and lazy, and it broadcasts to the world that you've never held a job for longer than seven months. But clipping them is troublesome, because it leaves these serrated edges over that cut your skin whenever you try to scratch an itch, and now instead of just a mild itch, you've got an actual skin irritation that'll just keep burning. It also breaks my old habit of cleaning the undersides of my nails, since they're actually no longer long enough to reach under eachother, so that's also pretty annoying.

Interesting thing you said about coke nails, I've never heard of that before. I wouldn't grow just one out like that anyway though, I guess it's the kind of thing you might often see with bureaucratic villain characters, but it wouldn't be very helpful for purposes other than stabbing into people. If I've got an itch to scratch, I generally use at least two fingers to do it, no less. Just one finger is too weak, and doesn't cover a wide enough area. I'd get sore pretty quickly.

>>43964

Gave up on this when I realised just how horrifying the aspect of having to interact with other players actually is. I face a similar issue whenever I decide trying to get into netgames again might be a good idea. The issue isn't so much that I can't stand human interaction in general (in fact, for a /jp/sie, I think I'm pretty great at interacting with other people), but I can't really stand the idea of actually sharing the space of people who want to get things done. The issue is exacerbated in MUDs. These aren't bots who'll just pass you by if you try to interact with them, they have this stronger sense of presence where they can actually do things that will affect you, and conversely, you're forcing them to pay attention to you as you interact with the objects and characters in the world. And these people aren't really like you either. They've probably been doing this kind of stuff for years, and they have specialised telnet clients for playing MUDs, and if they wanted to, they could just screw with you or PK you at their whim. The EVEN WORSE part is that they won't screw with or PK you at their whim, because they want to see you continue to play the game, and succeed. I just hate that kind of idea, stop expecting things from me. Don't send me 5000 credits, stop showing me in positivity!

The moment I gave up HellMOO in particular, was when I realised the tutorial world I was in wasn't instanced. I'd been playing in there for three days already, trying to get my bearings, occasionally using the chat system, and generally preparing for the moment when I'd actually enter the actual gameworld, the MUD's social space. I had this idea that I'd keep playing for one month, maybe two in the singleplayer segment of the game before I actually interact with a player who you can't just "-nanashi kajsfnkljfnlaskf" to get dialogue out of. But I eventually I used the help function on this one NPC who was fighting a ghost, and the game said, no kidding, "This is a player, so we can't help you very much with them". I logged off not long afterwards, from the embarassment. I might end up picking the game up again sometime, I just wasn't really prepared for that. Of course, they'd been totally ignoring me for the few minutes I witnessed their fight, they were probably away even, but I can't get past the idea that they were sitting there, judging me, and maybe thinking something normal like "Oh, that's a new player. Looking forward to interacting with them later.", it just makes me uncomfortable to be performing like that.

>>43999

This next bit isn't about MUDs, it's just me.

Every time you make an action, or interact with somebody in the world, the amount of poosibilities in the future (Of your own future, and those people you interact with) is severely decreased. A little solioptistic, but I am the one individual in the world who can act according to my own thoughts and desires. Only issue is, I have no clue what my own thoughts or desires are. There's no tutorial, no character guide, no stageplay I can consult. If i join a community, or interact with a person, the version of that community or person who never interacted with me, who's trying the best I can to act like me (and occasionally failing, no doubt) will never be realised. Or in other words, it's like I've disturbed this scene of nature, and that things might've gone another way if I, the only person with the capability to break apart the natural order, never invaded this habitat.

I think the ideal would be if there were some person who knew better about myself than I do acting upon the things I should, according to my personality, objectively want to do in the world, and I could live vicariously through them. Give up agency over the movement of my limbs, and the things I say, and life in general. I would see things as if they were a presentation, instead of a play in which I actually have to take part, and improvise the script as I go. I could learn things about myself, rather than define things about myself and hope I didn't mess up along the way. I wouldn't have to lament over how I can't explore every single possibility of every single interaction, ans be assured that I'm at least acting in a consistent, logical, and maybe even correct way.

Yet I still realise how stupid and pathetic an ideal like that is, to give up on truly interacting with the world entirely. Already in my daily life, I sometimes feel irritated about how little an affect I seem to have on things, or that things aren't going my way. If something like that happened, I might happen to become an influential person with many friends, who accomplishes many great deads, but my own person as a whole would completely disappear. Sometimes the idea seems appealing, and sometimes it seems like the worst idea I've ever had.

Also, 44000 GET.

Last night, I dreamed I was a god of possibility who grants wishes to Japanese high-schoolers. I was dressed in all white and had my own table that teleported around with me. I was never a dick about wishes and told those who approached me exactly what they'd be getting. I would only agree to grant minor wishes such as succeeding on a test and completely refused any world-changing wishes. I suggested an alternative to some in the form of a lucid dream that they'll have the following night which in it their potentially reality-breaking wish could take place. For some reason, many simply approached me to talk about things, often times said things would be erotic in nature. At one point a concerned teacher confronted me, but I don't remember that part too well. Honestly speaking, if I saw a mysterious man sitting at a table calling himself "God", I don't think I would open my heart up to him.

Strangely enough, during the night before that one, I had a dream in which I was a god of death. I was dressed in all black, but didn't do anything bad. Some kid had a strong spiritual awareness, talked to me and seemed pretty afraid. I told him that I'm nothing more than an observer. Then I proceeded to "observe" said boy's older sister and told him that he has a long life ahead of him. Later on in the dream, I fought a group of evil superpowered communist gothic lolis and the apocalypse happened (as if it doesn't happen enough in my dreams).

Self diagnosis is fun, and troublesome.

>>44003

Sounds a lot like me. However, I don't see such traits as something which should be considered a disorder. If you ask me, something should only be considered a disorder if it brings harm to the person who has it or to those around him.

>>44005

Yeah, it's really only a disorder if it's debilitating or disruptive.

Otherwise it's just a personality, no biggy.

Pleasant day.

Pleasant time.

Was trying to get to sleep. Dog jumped up onto the bed to join in with me. I wasn't expecting this, so my mind went white.

So surreal to hear such a fake sounding scream come out of my mouth. Hope I didn't scare it, as much as it scared me.

I think it's very important that every person should know how to make stuff like pizza and hamburgers from scratch. That way if you ever die and get transported to a medival world you can dominate the food market.

I had a look back at the old /jp/. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it

>>44010

Where does dough come from, again?

My throat makes croaking noises for minutes after I choke on a bit of food. Ribbit ribbit

Hello.

I decided to come here on a whim today. I hope I'm not too much of a nuisance, but after skimming through the board, I have decided I'd like to stick around for now. I'm a long time /a/ poster, although I never really visited /jp/ back during the 4chan days. This is a very nice board, and I seem to connect to it.

よろしくお願いします。

I am decent at Japanese, am into lots of /jp/ things, am planning on moving to Japan in a few years. I hope we can get along.

>>44015

Get out of /jp/.

Sometimes I think, "Okay, I've read all the new posts on /jp/" and use the address bar to navigate to "8ch.net/jp" before realising how little I get out on the internet nowadays.

SCHOOL TROUSERS

Def: 11 (±0)

Agi: -2 (-2)

A pair of trousers \name,1 wore in \pronoun,2,1 youth.

Radiates immense power.

Together, or not together.

These are the last traces of those dreamlike days.

>>44023

I recently cancelled my home internet thinking it would help in the same way, but it really didn't. Now, all I do is wish I had internet, like a junkie cut off from his supply, and spend time refreshing dead boards when I get it.

The best times are having internet, and not using it.

There's this harsh ball of self-loathing in my gut. It gets physically painful at night when I can't sleep. Remembering embarrassing moments agitates it and causes something in me to say "I want to die."

I want to kill this sentiment. I want to be free of this constant pain, but I don't want the self- loathing to win by killing myself. How can I be free?

>>44028

The final patricians of a dying Empire.

So here's what seems to shift my brain to anxiety overdrive & draining more of my energy.

>the place I'm in is overcrowded (Though I didn't feel this way when I crossed the streets in Japan)

>the place is too dark or has little lighting

>the place is too loud with its music & people's chatter

>the place has too many distractions such as flashing neon lights & too many TVs

>>44031

The ideal solution would be to avoid judging, or become entirely unapologetic about anything you might've done in the past. I don't think it's easy to just become a forward-thinking person like that though, and anybody who claims they are is probably just a liar.

A more practical solution would probably be to find some way to avoid having to think in general, maybe some kind of activity that requires a lot of thought, or at least a little bit of concentration like listening to music. Unless you're the kind of person who just falls asleep when they get tired enough, there's no way to avoid that momentary period of time where you just really wish you weren't yourself though. For me, it comes even if it's 8 AM in the morning and I become so tired I shouldn't even be capable of lucid thought.

>>44034

Telling myself "It's in the past, it doesn't matter anymore" usually helps during the day, but it doesn't at night. Usually, for similar issues in the past, laying and thinking about the problem until I find an agreeable solution helped, but this time it just hurts and I'm afraid there's no actual solution to this. Suicidal self-loathing just might be incurable at this point. Maybe if I keep telling myself it doesn't matter, I'll start to actually believe it. This pain hurts though. I don't think I was clear enough before. It's not the past that makes it hurt, it only aggravates an already-existent ball of self-hatred in my gut. Through my aforementioned laying and thinking about it have I come to that conclusion, that it's a self-loathing. There was a better way I put it the night I discovered it, but I forgot and "self-loathing" is the best way I know to describe it now, but it's a bastardization of the real emotion.

Yeah, masturbation and drinking are the only ways I can get to sleep anymore. Right now I'm in a position where I can't do either and I'm concerned.

Just wanted to point out the thread started cycling.

So, should I fuck my imouto?

>>44031

Due to the fact that the cells within out bodies are constantly dying and being replaced, you're not that person who was the subject of those embarrassing events but are actually just someone who took said person's place. You're that person's predecessor, so you can make the conscious choice not to make the same mistakes that person made and can surpass him as a son can surpass his father. Perhaps you could view those events with amusement rather than embarrassment if you stop thinking they happened to the you that exists at this moment.

In a dream, I was cornered. My masked rival smiled, knowing that he was about to win. At the brink of defeat, I extended my right arm, hoping to grasp something, anything, which would allow me to achieve victory. I felt as though I had briefly traveled across time itself to seize what would become my last hope. I rose to my feet and said something along the lines of

I SUMMON YOU, 「AMPUTATED REMILIA」!!!

and with that, I vampire loli with neither arms nor legs appeared before me. She had a look of despair on her face and wasn't even positioned upright. My rival shook with fear and realized that he should've finished me off when he had the chance. Then I won and woke up.

>>44033

Absolutely understandable. Generally, I'd just avoid such things. But I've gotten good at tolerating them when necessary, somehow.

As for why it probably felt better in Japan, it's again likely due to their rituals for formality and proper standards for physical contact.

They're not there to hurt each other. Generally, they don't WANT to touch each other, チカン aside. And if they're outside, they generally have somewhere to go and something to do. Almost no one is wandering around looking for their next fix, their next theft target, or the next sucker to manipulate and genuinely sue for sexual harassment.

There are exceptions, of course. But their society does a good job at hiding them.

Because there actually is a social order to uphold.

>>44037

This thread started ages ago, nobody knows what you're talking about.

>>44038

It's an interesting idea and all, but anybody knows that it's total bullshit. Sorry if it consoled you at any point. The facts aren't wrong (as far as I can tell), but the theory is just stupid.

>>44039

Amputated Remilia? Hahaha, oh no

Coming off of Char's Counterattack, I decided to make my next Gundam experience to be something more modern, so I picked up Gundam Unicorn. Honestly speaking, Unicorn was kind of a chore to watch, as I kept waiting for that Gundam charm which I became somewhat accustomed to show up. Unfortunately it never did. I felt as though it was trying way too hard to be Gundam and throwing as many references to the original shows as it can. As a person who only recently watched the shows being referenced, I'm unaffected by Unicorn's poor attempts at playing with its viewer's nostalgia to make itself more likable.

As for the mecha themselves, I don't really like how most of them look. Most of them are essentially just older mecha redesigned to look "cool" but are actually just overdesigned. I especially dislike the Banshee Gundam, which tries way too hard to be an edgy evil doppelganger. That being said, I do really like the Neo-Zeong, as it took the basic idea of the Zeong and expanded on it in many creative ways. I like how the Neo-Zeong manages to be pretty menacing but also hilarious to look at through sheer size alone.

Anyways, I'm turned off from continuing to watch Gundam now. I might get around to some of the old stuff, but I doubt I'll ever touch anything Gundam-related that came out past 2000 again.

Wait a second, I'm supposed to be watching Serial Experiments Lain, not autistic robot shows. FUCK

>>44040

Now that you mention formality, I feel that being told of the rules & dress code in advance helps me relax more than being expected to know the unwritten rules. It also helps when I don't have too many choices in regard of making a decision such as being asked if I want 'Item 1' or 'Item 2'

>>44042

It's difficult to follow a long-running series while dealing with the fact that everything you originally loved about it is gone.

Are you planning on watching Lain soon? It's nothing you have to see, but I think it's a show any /jp/sie might like to see.

>>44042

>Wait a second, I'm supposed to be watching Serial Experiments Lain, not autistic robot shows. FUCK

Just open it up and watch, dude. It's just anime, not a monumental task. Enjoyable anime too.

Ah the nostalgia. I most enjoyed Lain when watching the blurays on a high resolution CRT PC monitor with SVP. The glorious detail, glorious contrast black levels and motion, glorious atmosphere, nice matching aspect ratio. Good shit, that.

I miss that thing, and all my other CRTs. Bad luck galore, failing in various ways.

>>44048

I saw this. Pretty impressive how the artist managed to do three artstyles at once, even if the most recent one looks kind of bad.

Can't wait for the sadpanda upload.

I'm miserable around most people. It'd be better if I didn't exist.

I'm just a fucking weeb who didn't want to make my own thread but wanted to talk about my own experiences.

First of all the cherry blossoms are as beautiful as I hoped. And every time I've gone to a park to hang out (Ueno is the best for socializing, followed by the one around the imperial castle) everyone has been really nice. Like my japanese is way below "conversational" but people try to speak english to me and are nice, offer drinks and food and stuff. So even if you're not that great at japanese and not that social I highly recommend coming to Tokyo at the beginning of April next year. Just fucking book it with a credit card now and plan around it if you have to.

The other things are that it's way cheaper than I was led to believe. You can get smoking rooms in hotels for pretty cheap (considering it's a major city in a developed world- like 60-90 USD for near the center of Tokyo- walking distance from Akihabara and everything else, if you were willing to stay in a hostel you could do it for way less) and the food is really pretty modestly priced. Plus there are these cool alcoholic beverages you can get at every bodega that are fruit flavored and you can get like a 24 ounce drink that's 9-12% alcohol for like under $2 usd.

I'm a 2dfag but it seems like nippongirls are pretty into gaijin if you're looking for that.

It's just worth doing. I don't really have anything insightful to say but if anyone is thinking about it and has any logistical questions I'm happy to answer questions even if it's dumb.

I just wanted to say if you're thinking about booking a trip do it. I'm enjoying myself.

>>44061

Actually planning to go in august, what else did you do? Got nothing specific in mind outside of akihabara right now.

>>44061

How much was your plane ticket to Japan? Would like to go back there, but it feels like it costs an arm & a leg.

>>44062

Enjoy, do you have a hotel booked yet? Do you have plans for seeing the rest of the country?

I've been spending a lot of time just walking around looking at the cherry blossoms. But also the Ueno Zoo, the old imperial palace, the modern art museum (right across from the palace), the Tokyo Dome area, yesterday I spent all day around Shinjuku. There are a lot of different city centers, it seems like I could spend all day in any of them without getting bored. I've only spent one full day in Akhibara so far, but I feel like I could spend another 2 or 3 full days there before I live the city.

>>44063

Uhh I can't really be helpful. I was in NZ before I came here and I paid like 550 USD, haven't booked a flight back to the US.

I would just make sure that you're making sure you're doing all the little things to make sure you're not having the rates jacked up on travel sites when you go to look (clear cookies, use a proxy, private browsing, change browser size, check nearby airports and cheaper dates, etc). I just checked for flights roughly around the time I was planning on flying back to the US this summer and got an offer for $570 for one with a couple of really long layovers, a little under $700 for more reasonable layovers (one way obviously).

But if you're really flexible with plans, looking way ahead of time or just lucky you can get a real steal.

>>44065

Probably just tokyo since that's a bit expensive, but maybe ill go to shirakawa-go for a daytrip. I'll be sure to check out these places then. Heard about the art museum somewhere before I believe.

Also yes I booked a hotel already but judging from your second part I guess I got ripped off a bit. Wanted to consider the hotel overnight and when I checked again the next day it went up in price by like 300 bucks. Whatever can't help it now. Booked the robot hotel which seems kinda fun. Really exited for akihabara. How expensive if the merch there? Was planning to buy a shitload.

>>44066

I mean I've been skimping since I've been traveling without a proper income since like September. You can get smoking rooms for pretty cheap a short walk from Akhibara or the other downtowns but if you're not a smoker it'd be pretty unpleasant. If you paid more for a hotel then I'm sure you're getting your money's worth either in location or quality.

Merch is kind of all over the place. For less mainstream franchises you're better off getting figures and stuff online I think. But I had a lot of fun shopping around for figurines even though I only had a few before I came. There are a few brands that I guess are originally sold at like crane-machines or other arcades that end up really cheap at the second-hand shops once they've been around a couple years, like 1000 JPY (roughly 10 USD) for a pretty nice looking figurine. I'm not really a connoisseur of merchandise but I'm sure there's no physical place that's better than Akhibara for whatever you're looking for. Are you looking for anything particular? Or specific franchises?

>>44067

Me neither to be honest. And no nothing specific. Maybe figures, maybe some manga, maybe something else that I can find there related to stuff I like.

And I'm sure its worth it, I mean booking it as a combo deal already saved a lot of money it seems (when I'm comparing it to a flight and hotel seperately booked). But can't help it now what's booked is booked.

Another question actually, what do you do about food? My plan was to live on convenience stores and sometimes a restaurant inbetween.

>>44068

If you're into figures I was a little surprised by the stores. A lot of them have the same format in that floor 1 is all one piece stuff with maybe some naruto, dbz, maybe fate stuff then floor 2 is all gundam and mech stuff, then floors 3+ varies a little more. I've had more luck finding stuff from obscure franchises by wandering around the upper floors where it's more miscellaneous. I can't say too much to manga or other stuff, I've browsed the stores but I don't know enough japanese to say whether I've been looking for things efficiently.

>And I'm sure its worth it, I mean booking it as a combo deal already saved a lot of money it seems (when I'm comparing it to a flight and hotel seperately booked). But can't help it now what's booked is booked.

Well that's good. Do you have tours/activities booked or just a flight/hotel? If nothing else you don't have to worry about. I've met a few backpackers that were doing things day-by-day and it seems a bit stressful. It's nice to know where you're sleeping the next week. How far are you from Akhibara?

>Another question actually, what do you do about food? My plan was to live on convenience stores and sometimes a restaurant inbetween.

The convenience stores are legit, and 24/7, you can get a sushi or ramen plate plus a drink for like under 10 USD. It's a totally viable strategy. Today I went to one of those sushi places with a conveyor belt and ate as much as I possibly could for like 20 USD (before drinks). But you'll see some western chains like dominos and off the top of my head there's a Burger King, McDonalds and multiple Starbucks right in Akhibara if you just want something you're used to and wifi. The prices are all pretty similar to what they are in the US.

But overall if you can spare a little more I recommend eating out. There are quality indian places, sushi places and ramen places (that either have english menus or pictures) where you can get tea and a good meal for under 20 USD. It's part of the experience so I'd do it if you can swing it. Maybe skimp on breakfast, you can get iced coffee from a vending machine literally everywhere.

The only thing about getting meals from the convenience stores is you can't just buy one and walk outside and find a park bench to eat a snack on like in most western cities. Your best bet is going around the block from your hotel to get a meal and eating in your room, or walking a couple kilometers or so to a park and getting a meal from a corner store there. Corner stores are everywhere, benches not so much (same with trash cans, I wear a small backpack everywhere just so I don't have to carry garbage everywhere).

>>44069

I assume cooking your own food is out of the question? Also, did you have to rent a cell phone since I heard most of those devices out of Japan won't work or did you not use one?

Have you've ever been stopped by a Japanese person for being a gaijin?

>>44070

>I assume cooking your own food is out of the question?

The hotels I've been at haven't had kitchens, but I'd assume the hostels do.

>Also, did you have to rent a cell phone since I heard most of those devices out of Japan won't work or did you not use one?

My US carrier is AT&T and they have a thing that you can opt-into that allows you to use the phone internationally (same deal in most developed countries) and it charges you like $10 for 24 hours. I used that for a couple days when I first got here so I could use it as a gps but now I just leave it on flight mode and use wifi. I've seen the corner stores selling sim cards for smartphones, I assume most models are compatible, as long as you don't have a really old phone. Were you planning on just buying a new phone here? It might be convenient but may be not necessary. You can probably get whatever you need in Akhibara for cheap.

>Have you've ever been stopped by a Japanese person for being a gaijin?

lol nah everyone has been really nice. Might happen if you try to go into the wrong non-international massage parlors though.

>>44079

>Were you planning on just buying a new phone here?

Yeah.

Have you been to a thrift shop there (or as they seem to call them 'Recycle shop')? Have you also seen any shops that sell used books for cheap? Have you also seen watches made by Seiko, Casio, Citizen, etc. being sold?

Handle things nice and slowly.

Why does it feel like new opportunities push the old opportunities out? Maybe variety's good, but I can't help but feel I'm being made a fool out of when change pushes itself in so neatly. But I still feel grateful.

Well, I guess that's what the Tower is about.

I've never in my life touched a cat. I've only seen a domestic cat once. I've lived more than 30 years in this world.

>>44100

I bet he would love me and you know it and it makes you jealous and resentful.

I'm mad about ANIMALS

taking it slow with lain

just finished episode 6, meaning i'm halfway done

>>44106

How are you liking it?

Being obsessed with a fictional character and praying to god are really the same thing if you think about it.

>>44106

It's pretty good and just as prophetic as I heard. However, it is quite hard to follow.

I went for a walk this afternoon and saw a mother cat with kittens, all jet black, stretched out on the road enjoying the last rays of sunshine.

>>44114

Aww, that's nice. Did you take pictures?

>>44118

That artist's other stuff is a little too thick, I think.

>>44117

Is that shion?..

>>44123

yeah

>>44125

How did she lose so much age I been trying but it just doesn't work.

>>44126

Don't question the idyllic scenery, or else it'll fall apart.

まあ、アメリカ人のバーベキューへの思い入れは凄まじいものがあるからな。

海外赴任中に取引先のデブに、ディナー奢ったお礼に誘われて、嫌々行ってみたんだが、

まず肉が凄い。キロ単位で塊で買ってくる。手土産に持ってった肉をみて「それじゃ足りないよ、

貧乏人」という顔をする。ｴｺﾉﾐｯｸアニマルはいつまでも肉食には慣れないらしい、みたいな。

絶対、その肉4キロより、俺が買ってきた肉500gの方が高い。っつうか、それほぼ脂身じゃねえか。

で、デブが肉を切る。やたら切る。不良風のデブ娘とデブ息子もこのときばかりは親父を尊敬。

普段、目もあわせないらしいガキがダディクールとか言ってる。郷ひろみか？　畜生、氏ね。

鉄板も凄い、まず汚ねぇ。こげとかこびりついてる。　洗え。洗剤で洗え。つうか買い換えろ。

で、やたら焼く。焼いてデブ一家で食う。良い肉から食う。ゲストとかそんな概念一切ナシ。

ただただ、食う。デブが焼いて、デブがデブ家族に取り分ける。俺には回ってこない。畜生。

あらかた片付けた後、「どうした食ってないじゃないか？」などと、残った脂身を寄越す。畜生。

で、ﾃﾞﾌﾞ一家、5ｷﾛくらい肉を食った後に、みんなでﾀﾞｲｴｯﾄｺｰｸとｶﾛﾘｰｶｯﾄのビールを飲む。

「今日は僕も飲んじゃう」とかﾃﾞﾌﾞ息子が言う。おまえ、酒どころか絶対薬やってるだろ？

ﾃﾞﾌﾞ娘も「ああ、酔っちゃった、あなた素敵ね」とか言う。こっち見んな、殺すぞ。

デブ妻が「太っちゃったわね」とか言って、デブ夫が「ｶﾛﾘｰｾﾞﾛだから大丈夫さ」とか言う。

ｱﾒﾘｶﾝｼﾞｮｰｸの意味がわかんねえ。畜生、何がおかしいんだ、氏ね。

まあ、おまえら、アメリカ人にバーベキュー誘われたら、要注意ってこった。

I'm going to learn the IPA alphabet so I can digitise and live in UTAU cyberspace

Sometimes I think "This is stupid, I need something to do".

So I get up from my chair, and when I realise I don't actually have anything to do, I get into bed instead.

But then I think, "This is boring, I can't just go to sleep", so I get back onto my computer and stare at the monitor for a real bit.

But then I realise again that since I don't have anything to do, I have to find something to START. And the idea of starting something new is just so exhausting to me that I have to crawl back into bed again.

>>44153

>real bit

"little bit"

Need to pay attention to what I type.

>>44153

Just starting things should not be exhausting. You don't need to fully invest yourself emotionally and devote all your attention just to start things. Motivation usually comes AFTER starting things.

Just open up something to do and interact with it.

Doesn't have to be the most efficient, productive, or even interesting things in the world; it's just something to do. If it turns into something more than just something to do then GREAT, but until then don't worry.

Do you have no games to play, no shows to watch, no music to listen to, no books or comics to read, like nothing at all?

>>44156

I do have a couple of books to finish. Thanks for thee suggestion.

>>44155

I think you said real with the intended meaning of "tangible" or "within reality", translating to not too little or not too much.

My autistic little brother talks the same way if he's not careful to revise before speaking. Like in abstract related concepts rather than common terms. It's pretty easy to understand after thinking a bit.

Not to say you're actually autistic or anything like that.

>>44161

Definitely possible. I was reading up on Wikipedia articles related to language disorders and neologisms, and since he doesn't have any language discorders, this one guy recorded his dreams over a long period of time specifically to figure out the gibberish coming out of characters' mouths.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_speech#Schizophrenic_speech_disorder

I often mix words up entirely lately, so the fact there was any meaning could've just been a coincidence.

man we really need to get this place active again. there's a lot of people that are just too weeb for /a/ that don't know this place exists.

>>44177

We don't want very weeb people, they have wild behaviour and can cause a large disruption.

I expect some more activity after tomorrow's stream.

>>44177

Nobody wants weebs, we want otaku.

>>44179

>>44178

ever heard of tongue in cheek?

>>44181

touché. I guess I only mean to say this place is far less active than it used to be and that upsets me because I'm still wasting my days away studying a language I'll never fully comprehend and being a disgusting nerd in gaijinland pretending to be a disgusting nerd in nipland.

>>44181

Allright allright, I'll start posting about occultism again. I stopped because I was worried that I was just being a dumb chuuni.

>>44200

It's okay to just be a dumb chuuni though.

Great stuff for fremdscham or catharsis found therein; or in the rare case people are capable of it, actual empathy for the mindset.

It might be overdone, but my favourite theme in fiction is when the sanctity of the main character's life is questioned, or in more severe cases, directly challenged. They have to either give up, ot assert themselbes.

For example, in the most surreal cases, it might turn out that their body is a world-destroying weapon the villains might be able to utilise at any time, and for this, the entire world just betrays them. All of their friends, the people they save, they all know that they can't afford to let the protagonist live. Maybe the villains would be the only ones who approve of their survival anymore. Maybe even then, there's nobody that still treats them like a human.

Would the protagonist become completely despondent, letting anything happen, death or the considerable destruction of the world? Or would they find some way to fix things?

In another scenario, they may have to face the weight of something objectively greater trying to replace them. Maybe have their body snatched by a god or something. In this case, the stakes aren't quite as high, so the protagonist would still have some support. Most people have enough confidence in themselves that something like that wouldn't faze them, but after some amount of time, people might start turning on them.

Not really going anywhere with this post, but I like that kind of thing.

>>44210

Hm somehow I have the feeling that I've met such a trope before. Could you post some examples?

>>44211

Anything that touches on human sacrifice will probably fit. Something like it was mentioned in the KnK streams, and I guess it'll appear often enough in any other media. In KnK's case, it was this hypothetical about a virus that'd kill a lot of people, maybe everyone if one guy didn't surrender his life, I think. Probably doesn't happen as often that the protagonist's the one getting asked to be the sacrifice.

I forgot walpurgisnacht again. I really wanted to meet some witches.

Oh, deleted spam. I thought somebody might've bumped this thread.

We reached the limit again, and the dreamlike days rap is about to be pushed off.

When, oh when will I finally meet a witch?

何か言って

>>44254

Only if a search for information leads me there. Same with reddit, twitter, or any other board/forum/etc.

Just for information. I don't stick around to discuss things regardless.

>>44254

Sometimes my old muscle memory drags me back when I open a new tab. It only takes quick a glance to put me off it again.

>>44254

Sometimes I check out warosu

>>44254

Only when looking for a something to download, like the new touhou demo the other day. Everytime I do I quickly leave out of disgust.

>>44262

I like this picture, because I understand it completely.

>>44264

Describe and explain it, please.

I assume from the flags that it's political; probably and international dispute of some sort. But Japanese politics are usually less nauseating than western politics, at least.

>>44268

Red, green, and yellow are the alternate pan-African colors.

>>44269

That makes a little more sense. So the embodiment of Africa there is just confused at how Japan is blocking a missile from Korea from the bottom of Africa.

>>44273

Accept defeat and marvel at his superior skills. I feel happy to have been bested.

>>44273

I rarely ever play games online competitively.

Cooperating is more consistently fun; as it's not nearly as dependent on balance.

Also doesn't depend on the spirit of fair play. Which is the ability and willingness to put up and take fair and feasible challenges, to make all participants want to continue playing; avoiding one sided massacres and anything subjectively construed as cheating.

>>44273

Existential terror. Am I really alive? Or am I just an AI?

I don't really get what kind of joke it was meant to be, but I don't think he's serious either. Maybe he's calling his uncompetitive attitude girly.

Last night I was dreaming that all of /jp/ was having a sleepover at my place, and quite frankly fuck you guys

>>44283

I didn't post that second one.

Just hurry up and grab the snacks man

>>44285

Man fuck you, I'm not gonna drive far away to some obscure fast food restaurant to satisfy your cravings. That almost got us caught by the cops.

This fine, isn't it?

We've all grown in the past years. We are not the same 4/jp/sies we used to be.

Oh god I think I'm awake now

Dreamt about being in an escape-the-room game. The thing was though, it was multiplayer, and even though the levels were sequential, it played out like an MMO where the developers didn't quite think things through.

There was this cooperation coin mechanic where level bonuses could appear, but only if something like a hidden switch or puzzle were being actively used by another player. These coins, and their switches, would be hidden inside the level. Since they're so hidden, they'd grant these huge bonuses I didn't really know about. Naturally, since players in any online game are always annoyingly nice, there was this one experienced player who'd apparently been through the level already holding the switch down, and everyone was grabbing the coin out from the wall. I was reluctant to grab it myself, not wanting to accept that dumb bonuses for doing no work at all, but the other players were actually getting angry with me and telling me to grab it already.

After that, I watched a few players attempting to solve puzzles, and explored the room. In an upstairs area, there was a television listing random coloured words on a backdrop of what looked like a manor overlooking a lake, the streets of Venice, and other calming, generally super-aquatic things like that. This television set was completely ignored by the other players, who were rushing to some place (probably because the puzzle was solved already), but I still had the feeling that this thing was completely overlooked. Was it a hidden message? Could it have some kind of menacing secret? I'm a little interested in cryptography, so I refused to let it go. I store at it a bit more, before I realised the weird random words program had finished. Hoping I'd get another chance at interpreting the message, I grabbed a remote and discovered, through an on-screen interface, that it wasn't a livefeed, but a very long recording which had been on loop (~30-70 hours). I fiddled with the remote a bit, but since it was only a dream, I had the cognitive abilities of a 3-year old and couldn't figure it out how to rewind it and record all the words in my notepad. It's a shame, because it seemed like such an interesting puzzle.

After that, the main theme kind of fizzled out. You know how it is with dreams. There was something about meeting an old man at the back of a manor overlooking a lake, and working in some kind of game/nerd merchandise store that burned down.

I need to dehydrate more often, it always gives me such interesting dreams.

>>44292 Or this, but that's interesting too.

I really love listening to people from /jp/

>>44455

was that sarcastic

Hello everyone.

Suika pees alcohol.

Thank you.

>>44480

You say that, but you know some clown would end up sitting on your table when things get too packed. From the looks of the image, that cabin has an expected capacity of about only 40 passengers, and that's assuming one of them is kind enough to let you sit at THEIR kotatsu.

Everyone talks about how polite everyone is in Japanese society, but I know that must be some kind of weird fantasy. Dealing with idiots is a fact of (having a) life.

>>44482

You're welcome to sit under my kotatsu, if you'd like.

>>44480

Oh I'm aware. I'm only speaking for fantasy.

But I wouldn't mind sharing a kotatsu with other people; even, no, especially obnoxious drunks. That sort of thing is very amusing and pleasant to me.

When people are polite I can tolerate them.

When they're RUDE I can genuinely enjoy their company. It's a nice challenge at least, and gloriously informal. Quite comforting.

The only issue I really take with people is when they're aggressive and/or violent.

>>44484

Not everyone gets to experience that kind of thing regularly, because everyone has this urge to act in a nice and considerate way. It's only when they feel like you're personally hurting them in some way that they'll start getting impolite. Having a meeting with somebody who lacks those inhibitions does sound interesting though, both so you could experience something different from 90% of the people you meet acting in the exact same, inoffensive routine, and so you can feel like there's more to the world itself than what's already met the eye.

>>43411

Went back up to the top of the thread to see what conversations this discussion would be pushing back and noticed this. I guess it's like playing with fire. Nowadays it's only the kind of thing that gets your house burned down, but when it was still strange and mysterious, and there were things to learn about it, it could net you benefits like cooked food, and keeping the other stupid critters away at night. An attraction to the strange and powerful could have a basis like that; plain curiousity.

I can't stand watching Nintendo Direct conferences anymore. All I see is rape of once-respectable franchises. I'm most excited seeing the obscure games by new studios, but that quickly goes once they show just how bad those are as well. How do I start to have fun with videogames again?

>>44489

Accept that you are no longer the target audience and that videogames have been ruined by popularity, like many other things before. And afterwards move on with you life

Oh wow, did you just tribute your pet bird with a picture of its corpse

It's alive in the pic, but was clearly fucking dying.

Everything is constantly dying the moment it is born.

I wouldn't say that, growing isn't the same as ageing/decaying/dying.

>To become even stronger, I have to face things I previously considered myself to be bad at and change that fact. Therefore, today I decided to focus on writing. Writing is something I like but also consider myself to be bad at. After all, how could I even compare to all of those manga and VNs. I'm not even Japanese. It felt discouraging, but that feeling allowed all outside distractions to disappear. I found the light and targeted that feeling directly. All it took was one single blow, and the boundary between me and writing was no more.

>I proceeded to write the beginning of some sort of super generic story about a delinquent, a girl with long black hair who is the delinquent's childhood friend, psychic powers and a secret society which is bent on bringing about the destruction of everything. I spent quite a while just sitting down and writing. To say that it was fun would be an understatement. Only once I remembered that my right hand was really starting to hurt did I stop.

how would you say your writing skill is now?

>>44552

>Only once I remembered that my right hand was really starting to hurt did I stop.

By golly I'm jealous of that. Being so into something that bodily pain goes unnoticed.

Especially hand pain; since my left wrist never really stops hurting no matter what.

Still unable to write down properly what I'm imagining in my mind..

I've fully archived the creative output of several H-doujinshi circles and a few Japanese [strikethrough]camwhore[/strikethrough] model Twitter pages.

Is it archive amity? Or just a porn problem?

>>44606

>Is it archive amity? Or just a porn problem?

Why not both?

>>44608

I guess that'd be okay, but it'd probably revoke my right to tell others to save shit, since it's because I'm just the filthy porn-reader.

/jp/ - MAXIMUM THE HORMONE: "What's up people?!"

8ch kind of sucks but that's just because of the times.

Just relax and have fun.

nice. do you know why it's producing that response?

>>44674

that's depressing.

>>44683

What are the custom formatting rules even supposed to be for? If they don't fucking do anything, then they shouldn't include the option

What are the best books about japanese folklore that are written in english? I'm especially interested in critters like the two-tailed cats, dragons, kappa, etc.

>>44687

Perfect Memento in Strict Sense :^)

My head hurts a little.

Look forward to further announcements.

What a coincidence mine too!

I got better. It feels like strength is just surging through my body.

>>44691

Headaches can have many causes.

>Dehydration (Drink some water)

>Bad electrolyte balance (Eat something, or drink like milk or sports drinks)

>Stress (Relax)

>Bad bloodflow (Go do some cardio exercise, nerd. At least stand up and stretch. You don't want Deep Vein Thrombosis either.)

>Sinus pressure (Clean that out, press on points to relax it, preferably clean air where you live too so it doesn't come right back)

>Substance abuse or dependence (Yes, even and especially caffeine, for both effect and rebound depending on some factors)

Or, worst case, it could be a genuine medical issue. But since you said just a little that's very unlikely.

>>44684

Just use the default formatting in the site FAG FAQ, silly. Strikethroughs are double tildes.

I think I disabled custom formatting options on my end because that feature is gay and barely works.

>>44697

/jp/ doc!?

>>44699

I just hate going to doctors enough to study minor issues in my daily life.

Also I love drug use, so knowing what can cause issues other than that to narrow problems down and even solve them before just blaming everything on one substance is pretty nifty.

why is that one doujinshi artist so obsessed with nazrin breast expansion

Thanks this looks sick.

It's possible it's still here somewhere and I didn't see. I skimmed but wasn't thorough.

>>44740

It's back

That just doesn't sound right. But at the same time, I want to see what you're talking about. What anime?

>>44742

Working!! as per the filename.

He barely shows up there (like I think ep3 and near the end for the first season), since the character is on a search for his long lost wife. A peaceful old man, with lots to worry about.

I'll webm a clip sometime.

Life is pretty nice. By making this post I'm going to push the fatchouli posts off this thread. But it can't be helped. That's the course of this world. Things die so meaningless things can be born.
