Nice, holy shit

I like the modern version better, but to each their own haha

>>15399555

>>15399604

Let's not turn this into an /f/ thread anon.

When was the last one? A couple of weeks?

>>15399625

months probably. Everything is in decay here.

>>15399521

This is shit. The lack of inbetweens and strong keyframes in the original animation make it look snappier and faster. The extra detail is nice in some scenes, but the redraw ruins 3ab's artstyle in others.

The pacing is worse due to the battletoads scenes and the addition of new memes is cancerous.

>>15399632

Naw it was more recent than that.

>>15399723

I miss times when 4chan had "soul"

>>15399739

Everything is worse today than it was better yesterday.

But don't let it get to you, it also means that the possibilities to do good are endless.

>>15399888

lolno, most ebin maymay threads I see have filenames which can be Googled back to cuckchan

it's not a big problem here but it is on /tv/ and some other boards

>>15399895

I wouldn't know anything about that if I didn't see you people constantly bitching about it. You've pretty much crafted your entire identity to be a foil to cuckchan. That's so boring.

>>15399723

Go ahead, get on the PSN right now and search for rage comics. I dare you. You can buy icons and shit that feature these "characters"

When your retarded culture is whore'd out for shekels, that's when you know it's dead.

>>15399910

that's because 80% of 4chan's new userbase also uses reddit, and reddit has been able to drive jokes into the ground continuously for years

their ragecomic board only died in 2013 or 14

If you wanna have fun just post some of later cracky chan's photos and enjoy 120 omnited post

>>15399930

At least he hasn't ended up like so many smug faggots who do the whole "oh I OUTGREW that toxic place (translation: realized I could get more influence and attention on social media than on anonymous boards)" shtick

>>15399879

>Life has a way of killing your soul as you endure more and more hardship.

Blog: There's something true about that, but I don't think it's exactly accurate. I thought that I had passed that point for several years, but eventually found that I had simply adopted a very callous, no-fun-allowed way of operating that was extremely useful for dealing with the difficulties of the world. This isn't an inherently bad thing most of the time, and in fact it's a very good mid-term strategy, but it's poison to the soul in the long-term. I had essentially forgotten how to have fun, be happy, or take time to enjoy myself, because it never felt like the right time, felt like wasted time, or felt like an irresponsible risk, and this persisted for such a long time that joy was no longer a part of my routine. I don't mean that metaphorically, either. I literally realized that this was happening, and had to try hard to remember what the joy of youth felt like and retrace my steps back to it.

I suspect that a lot of people, the "soulless" adults that you knew as a kid, unknowingly get stuck in a cycle of this cynical, perpetually tired, and annoyed mode, as the crushing worries and uncertainties of life weigh down on them as they try to fight out of it, or worse, maybe they convince themselves that it's foolish to allow anything else. Obviously, one can't just permanently return to form after realizing that, because the adult troubles of life aren't about to go away easily, but I've learned to switch between the two. I'm now more original, creative, and soulful than I was as a teenager during 4chan's peak, and am learning entire artforms because of it. It's terrifying to think how close I'd come to forgetting it entirely though, because it means that many people likely have, which would explain a lot about the world.

I hope I can get back there too, one of these days.

okay so now what?

>>15399851

The problem is that halfchan just keeps getting worse, so the bar we have to hurdle keeps getting lower.

Im mad.

When I watched it, because of all the memes I thought Kamina was the protagonist. It wasnt until part 2 that I realized he was never coming back

>>15399884

He's right.

>>15401124

Having a career seems pointless to me. I don't want to slave a woman, so I don't see the point slaving to a company either. It is not like the company gives a shit about me anyway. It is very hard for a man to find motivation in his life when he losses the standard validation men find in life to keep going. I could work harder and do better, but what for.

>>15401124

I live next to a highway and my pets get ran over periodically every two years. I am now immunised to sorrow. Checkmate feelsfags

>>15401155

Why do you keep getting pets then, you faggot?

>>15401159

Because I love my pets? I have two cats. If I don't take any new kittens, faggots in the countryside will just drown them instead.

>fellow oldfags

The old days were so much better.

>>15401141

Anon, I struggle with that every damn day. I'm not going to tell you I take my own advice, but there are two things I always keep in mind.

1. People put their faith in you, whether they realize it or not, and because they see something in you, it would be selfish to say 'fuck it' without a good reason.

2. You may leave a mark on history, like the rulers of kingdoms and inventors of remarkable devices. You may become rich by luck or by perseverance. But doing nothing means that the chances of happening are nothing. Most of my luck in life comes from meeting people on the job, even if it's just the same people more often than not.

I had a panic attack and realized that being a NEET, while fun, eventually brings a breaking point you can't return from, so at the very least go out to a bar or volunteer or something.

>>15401176

>The internet before normalfaggots, Google, Youtube or Facebook was so much better

No fucking shit

>>15401227

I'm in a similar boat, but with management that tells me to do two opposite things and don't want to talk to each other. After all that bullshit I get home and I just want to play games. Don't have the drive to exercise or create. I've been trying to work on monster girl stuff but I totally forget about it when I get home.

>All these faggots saying that 8chan is as bad as cuckchan

I'm glad that summer is ending, these niggers won't be sticking around for much longer.

>>15401294

>>15401359

Just put them against each other? Like "But X told me to do that other thing" and then you follow Y and when X bitches you say "But Y told me you have decided on this thing". Maybe I am being naive they both won't wan to fire you at the end, but still.

>>15401312

It is not as bad, but is not super great either, thanks to certain people of certain ancestry. I have been here since the first Exodus. The first Christmas and New Year I had here was among the best ever. But it didn't repeat.

>>15401396

I think that's because GG crashed and burned around that time, so the opposition shifted to attacking the site in general.

>>15401396

When one person says 'I want a square,' and the other says 'I want a circle,' and when you go back to the other manager and inform them, they'll say they're going to work with the other management on it, only to find out it's summer and most of them are on trips or vacations, thereby making it impossible to have a solution the majority can agree on.

Than they come back the next day asking about the rectangle, which was discussed with everyone but us

>>15401176

I wish I was around on 4chan during the old days.

>>15401498

Don't feel too bad, if you did, it would sting much worse comparing it to now.

You'd see people like W.T Snacks cucking the fuck out along with a bunch of other self hating oldfags.

>Expecting different from mark at this point.

>>15401155

>>15401169

Why are you letting them be outdoors cats when they keep getting creamed by passing cars? Do you live in the country or something where people take roads really fast, at that? Because where I am, there are outdoor cats, but they tend to know well enough not to cross major streets, and the actual neighborhood roads are slow enough people notice them if in the street.

>>15399879

We need a new communication medium, like how the internet was back when computer and the internet had something of an entry barrier in both cost and having to learn the technology, as opposed to post-2007 normalfag and phoneshitter infested internet.

>>15401828

The fact that we still use the imageboard format is one of the few barriers left, short of switching over to a private IRC server and turning into a bitter circlejerk of namefags.

>>15401631

Reminder that in a legal case, a Reddit moderator got the site sued because editing user posts makes them accountable.

>>15400056

>>15399588

>Remembering that you made a disposable yahoo account to typefuck some anons with furry erp

>>15402124

Yes, but even imageboards are being infested more and more, ever since Hackers on Steroids started to push curiosity to outweigh the "anus of the internet" defense, and other real life bleed over events made things even worse. Fuck with an imageboard's management, or outright kill the site, the userbase will just resettle elsewhere. But flood them in plebs that don't belong, who treat the site as an extension of their previous venues and tastes, and the prior base gets drowned out, and either sticks around as increasingly jaded lurkers, or leaves the medium entirely. Media attention, and thus normalfag attention is how you kill an imageboard community, and I think (((they))) know it considering how quickly 8ch started getting, and has continued, to get namedropped where it shouldn't be. Certainly doesn't help that as of now there's very few other surviving alternatives that aren't worse than things have gotten here over the last few years (I remember back when a good bit of the imageboards you'd see on overchan were still some degree of alive and active), and we're still waiting for the Promisedchan that has at least learned from the positives and negatives of the ones before it.

It's shit

Where did the times go when OC was the lifeblood of boards. These past 2 years alone felt like they just rushed by.

>>15403153

I feel like I don't see much OC nowadays. Even the drawthreads aren't as lively. Maybe it's just a feeling.

>>15403171

I think that it's the goons and cucks who spam their "OC" here who ruin our in-house OC production. Nobody wants to feel like their OC is being spammed across the board like the fucking cringe compilation images.

It's a sad state of things.

>>15403153

The only OC I make anymore are screencaps of occasional threads, and doing them the proper way at that, because I've been so fucking sick of the "modern" style of it compared to how things used to be. I've considered trying to make an infographic to try to teach the classical style to newfags, but its not like anyone's apt to listen to me, not when the "chuck anything anywhere" style is so much faster and requires less effort.

>>15403171

>>15403193

I know the drawthread before last was outright deleted for whatever reason, and if memory serves was getting shit up with "OC is cancer" types prior to being canned.

>>15403010

>>15403379

>my body is legal now

I remember the days when people would nonchalantly post the nudes of her when she was about 13 and no one seemed to bat an eye that they were breaking the law by posting child porn.

4chan was an odd place back then.

>>15403400

Died of a heart-attack. His heart couldn't handle all the goofs.

>>15403379

Surprised she's not more of a marxist.

>>15403454

I still remember when /b/ would try to hide their sharing via sink threads.

>>15403466

Or when someone wanted to nuke a shit thread, all they had to do was post the picture of the naked baby getting pooped on and watch the thread freak out.

It seemed at times like 4chan existed outside the realm of legal repercussions.

>>15403483

Imageboards were tertiary at such a point, being just vaguely known amidst the broader internet to attract the occasional newfag that could either be molded in the crucible of /b/, or tossed as charred refuse after all the gore, porn, and banter. At the same time, the reputation as "the anus of the internet" helped to keep interest to a minimum. Combination of raids with no op-sec, and real world bleed over caused awareness to go up, and the posterbase to become polluted, as well as attract the attention of the authorities to start monitoring shit more. And unfortunately for 8ch, with the exodus bringing us here, (((their))) media attention followed, and continues to name drop the site to further pollute us with shitters.

I remember when people could post the location of a fucking dead body (get quints, get location or whatever, making a game of it) on /b/ and not feel like they stood to get in trouble for even knowing the exact location of a corpse.

>>15403511

Sometimes it makes me question how 8chan could possibly survive turning into another cuckchan if the attention was focused partially on us since the exodus.

Is it even possible to keep the culture intact if we never had the pleasure of semi-invisibility?

Sure, we're still pretty small, but we're still being namedropped in the MSM from time to time.

I'd say our "golden age" was for the first couple years. Back when we had boards like /hebe/. I may not be pedo, but they sure do act as a canary for the likelihood of normalfags and newfags adopting this place as their own.

>>15403518

A part of me yearns for the old days of lawlessness and chaos. But at the same time the other part of me doesn't really want to see threads being spammed with CP to ward off normalfags.

>>15403536

Wasn’t /hebe/ a board made by an SJW to get 8chan taken down?

>>15403536

Issue is that while cuckchan had three or four years to come into its own before hackers on steroids, 8ch really didn't, and is mostly an evolution of a hybrid, mixed culture. But beyond that, (((they))) followed here, probably because they were already monitoring cuckchan for various reasons. Easiest way to gain the veil of obscurity would be a migration in the form of a stand alone complex of sorts, with people dispersing and then showing up elsewhere without leaving a trail to be followed. That in itself though does cause issues, even beyond just getting everyone worth having to one new place. One, it would be most preferable to have an imageboard that was made with the knowledge gleaned from the positives and negatives other ones have shown over the years, made and owned by an anon that actually cares about community quality and not just shekels or control. Two, preferably hosted and owned somewhere with a fair amount of freedom, but without (((them))) being able to easily interfere. Kind of like how 8ch is owned in Malaysia, but without the servers being here in the US. Three, for a website to actually live enough to be considered active, it needs people there from the start. Not even cuckchan just sprang up with anons upon creation; it was spurred by SA exiles that left in the mootscoot, who were in turn replaced by anons and the culture further evolved, and even then aspects of SA culture stuck around for a while. Consider how many fucking tripfags there used to be compared to what has become more-or-less anon culture (our version of japan's "nanashi") where doing so is heavily frowned upon. You can have a good site, or on a smaller scale here, a good board, but if there's no activity (and I don't mean assloads of samefagging), it's going to appear to be dead, and the most you might see are lurkers. Thus you get a problem of needing people to get people, and if there's more active places elsewhere, that's where people, even the quality ones, are going to head. You can even see that here with the decay cycle: smaller boards that get popular for a while (if they're allowed to) will bleed users back to bigger ones, because despite having lower quality, they have more people to post amongst. And people leaving in turn prompt more to leave.

I really wish codemonkey would implement a per-board "Unique Lurker IP" counter in addition to the current one that records how many people are posting. Would make a nice way for some boards to really see if there is or isn't activity and interest, despite few new posts.

Yes.

>>15434194

This is true, actually. I could see people moving on from 4chan at some point and it just kind of returning to what it used to be if everything goes right. I don't really go there aside from checking [s4s] on very rare occasions or looking at whatever a friend sends me as I just use 8chan now, but it'd be nice to see it become a bit better.

Series has a high level of optimism and power to strive to it, to the point it's a core facet of it that becomes more and more prevalent as the show goes on. It's a fun, if kind of stupid ride, and without too much filler either. Just don't mind episode 4 much (guest animator was a hilariously bad call, but it does introduce some recurring characters, one major), and episode 16 is a recap you don't have to feel obligated to sit through (though the special concept art credits to that one is worth seeing). Parallel Works are also fun, if non-canon shorts (PW8 aside), and the movies are mostly recap but have some cool moments, especially the second once it reaches the finale.
