We should get together and kill some people.
Having sex with the corpses is okay, but try not to leave much evidence behind or I'm leaving your ass to get caught, and if you rat me out I will find and kill you and everything you love and know.

Here's what happens:
Your browser loads the stylesheet in the header. In this case,
http://4-ch.net/styles/pseud0ch.css
This is a 5.88 kB text file.
Then it loads the page. You can do nothing to change the size of the page (unless you, say, had it stop loading at a fixed point). This current page, for instance, is around 7 or 8 kB.
Then it lays it out using the stylesheet rules. To see how fast this happens, hit View > Page Style > None, then View > Page Style > Pseud0ch (or your browser's equivalent).
Your browser is clever. Your computer is fast. All of this happens in the blink of an eye. In fact, it's so fast that people are stealing this technology for use in other places. For example, you can now use your browser's CSS selector engine in JavaScript because it's a lot faster than the old method of iterating through nodes.
Basically, Pseudo0ch is perfect. If you disagree, go to...somewhere.
I've tried out all of the other themes, but Pseud0ch is the most ballin' style you could use on any textboard. When I first went to 6ch I repulsed by its default MWN theme.
>>332
Agreed. Buun is fine too, obviously.
I actually think these text boards do the whole `Web 1.0' bevelled border thing pretty well. Anywhere else they look too cheesy or 90s, but it works perfectly for this sort of website.
Once upon a time... there was widdle boy named david bowie... and he had a
lot of money and respect... but he didn't have one thing.... internal
honesty... he was playing the music industry for whatever sound they wanted
to hear that week.... what they wanted to hear at the time bowie was
listening to iggy's demos... was another 'ziggy stardust'... only he
couldn't find the riffs in his head... he couldn't find the songs to sing...
he had the same old mumbledy-junk... but not quite the moped he was looking
for. Iggy came along... just then.... and he knew he had a daddy.... money
didn't impress bowie.... music did... and iggy had the music soaking out his
pores.... bowie put away his aretha franklin and tina turner records... and
started poring over iggy's catalog. He heard 'the stooges' and thought...
what a piece of work... wish i'd done it... then he picked up 'funhouse' and
said to himself... i've found ziggy. He dropped iggy into the entire psychic
framework he had made unbeknownst to himself.... bowie had found his daddy.
Now... bowie had listened to those albums once or twice along the way... but
he was trying to get albums by the beatles (those gorgeous blokes) into his
head... and didn't really have time for the madman from detroit. Iggy...
meanwhile.... was drunker then a skunk... going... goddamn i don't know how
the fuck i can get the record guys to buy this shit.... they'll ask me to
tone it down.... they'll ask me to sling it on 'andy williams'... they'll
ask me to do my tennessee ernie ford act for them.... and i
doanfugginwanna.... so... i'm going to go burn down cbs records.... and he
got a gallon of gasoline.... a gram of methamphetamine... and went to their
l.a. whorehouse..... when he got there.... some zootsuited crazy in dayglo
colors who didn't realize carnaby was dead said... oooh... igster.... we've
got a producer for you.... and iggy stopped... and went... who... joni
mitchell? bob krause? mick fleetwood? i don't care.. just get my record out
there.... and they said.... it's bowie.... and ig went.... bowie sucks....
and a healthy glint came into his eye... and he said... i'll make him my
bitch.
of course the record industry geek figured that this was some rockstar slang
for producer and didn't realize that iggy had just turned the corner into
the most storied romance of his career... not that it started as a romance
for ig... just a domination of another groupie... he knew that bowie was
hooked and looking for the raw primal street sound that he could only find
by listening to stones records and going to 'sweet' shows... iggy went back
to his motel room... and called james on the phone... and said... hey...
bring me some pizza.... and james knew that the love had gone out of their
relationship.... iggy twinkled.... and some fucking anchovies... i'm going
to lick them off your back... and williamson smiled because he knew that
iggy wasn't going to just dump him.
Now... at this point in time... you're going 'it wasn't anything like
that.... it was a formal antiseptic corridor where mitch miller told
iggy.... ok... we like your record... but we're going to have to have a
producer on it... we're going to ask around....
that doesn't suit iggy's mad power persona though... can you see the igster
nodding happily and going... sounds great... let's get right on it...
buttkiss buttkiss? neither can i. I can see iggy going FUCK YOU MITCH
MILLER! I CAN'T READ... MUCH LESS FOLLOW THE GODDAMN BOUNCING BALL IN FRONT
OF YOUR CROWD OF RAINCOATED URBAN SLIME. only he'd say it... like...
"RARRRGH MITCH... YOU kNOW I Don'T lIKe BoB EZrin"... mitch stank at him
gleefully from behind his hai karate... and iggy went.... i need a beer.
I think it would be better for this site if the font used was Comic Sans, so that people who happen across it would think "hmm this seems like a fun, friendly place to hang out" and would be less intimidated to return

Comic Sans is not the right kind of DQN. Mona is better.
( ﾟ -ﾟ) I actually write and use custom CSS files to make some of the old-tastic looking sites I visit look all shiny/milky like these horseshit "Web 2.0" sites...

>You can do nothing to change the size of the page
Except, you know, like I said, use a different one. Like, one you write yourself. I rather like blue moon. It cuts down on the huge amount of spacing between objects on the page there for fitting more posts on within the screen, which is goo seeing as how my netbook is a horrible 800x600. But on other computers with larger screens and/or resolutions I use Pseud0ch.

Some days, I just feel like eating a muffin.
>>349, do you have the statistically implausible combination of yellow eyes and amblyopia?
>>350
Ooh, I have amblyopia! It's funny because while my parents were taking me to various opticians when I was a kid, I managed to conclude on my own that the sight problems I have must be related to the neural connections between my eye and my brain.
My irises are only yellow on the inside, though. Not to mention that I'm not >>349.

Because your lust for muffins suggested to me that you might possibly be Derpy Hooves.
In the banner at the top, at the part where it says "ドキュン！ドキュン！ドキュン！", there are two small black lines on the far right of the frame. I wonder what they are and why they are there.
>>355
I was thinking about this thread. And the thread existed!
>>357
Oh hell. Can't be unseen. Everyone here is going to waste just a few seconds staring at that today and won't finish some important project. The cascading failure resulting will probably cause the collapse of humanity or something. GOOD JOB. YOU'VE DOOMED US ALL.

There's a hidden /dqn/ board on 4-ch too. He was probably talking about those guys. (Bonus points if you can find it.)
>>357
Upon looking closely in an image editor, you can see that the spacing between the black lines is identical to the spacing between the left column of the キ in キターーーーー！ that comes next. If that's not what it is then I have no idea.
>>365
shut up, don't talk about it.
there is no second /dqn/ board.
It gets like, zero posts per day anyway.
Why does an almost dead board need a "secret" board?
>>369
How is /dqn/ almost dead? It gets, what, at least thirty posts a day, I'd say.

Guh, I hate this game. It ate up so much of my life. And it doesn't feel like you're doing anything (even playing a game) after a few weeks straight. You're just...hitting keys in an order you memorized. And it's frustrating if you don't. There isn't even music any more. You're just hitting keys. You know the keys, hit them. No no, you can't have a new simfile pack until you get at least an A on all of these ones, me.
In the end it's just irritating pattern memorization that messes with my OCD in all the worst ways. And somewhat ironically, I'm a Touhou fan.
speaking of games, everyone go look at that skyrim thread on /games/
>>376 I tried to go to that board but I took an arrow to the knee.
>>376
I really feel bad about Skyrim. Mainly because:
I think perhaps I just hate fun.
I feel bad for letting that guy buy me Skyrim after I pirated it and beat it the month before.
>>380
Perhaps. Again, I can't claim to be vastly different. Nor can bored programmers who occupied their time with Maze War, or teenagers who sat in their rooms playing Jet Set Willy.
I just don't like that a whole "subculture" has sprung up around it. People have hobbies and similar interests--great. But there's just something uncomfortable about people identifying as "gamers" and coming up with their own in-jokes and memes and whatnot.
I feel like a pretentious hypocrite.
>>377
I heard that joke for a week before I got the game but all the guards in the game say "arron in the knee" and not "arrow to the knee". What is up with that?
>>378
I'm having a lot of fun with the game. Also Xbox.
>>381
It's always "been its own subculture" man. From the days of reprogramming an Atari in your basement, to the days of Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow players challenging each other to a battle on the playground at school, to today where people have Quake or Halo LAN partys with 4 plasma screen TVs in their living room.
The problem are those fucking hipster douchecanoes who play angry birds on their iPad/iPhone and say "GAMER 4 LYFE! I LOVE 9GAG!" And don't even get me started on "gamer girls".
People have crap memory, so it morphs into a more obvious form.
Play it again, sam.
>I LOVE 9GAG
The what now?
>Quake or Halo LAN partys
I thought ``gamers'' nowadays played Call Of Duty on-line or something along those lines, or am I wrong?
Life is wonderful!

As for my thought right now, I HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO SO I SHOULD PROBABLY GET OFF CHANNEL4
Why do things not be self-contained units? Like in contemporary times we imagine, say, an album. That album is made up of songs. Is this a recent thing? Sometimes classical music is confusingly organized. Perhaps the apparently "simple" notion of artist - album - track is new. Maybe the terminology has just changed. Same with different media in different cultures. Is that doujinshi a sequel to the previous one? How do I know which to read next? Is this truly as confusing as I'm making it out to be? Of course every person has to make one thing, then the next. That's just logical. Or is it? I don't even know.
>>390
Not sure if this is what you mean, but...
Artists do sometimes produce nodal points which are intended to be self-contained or at least connect in non-linear ways. A number of mainstream TV shows are intended to make sense when watched in any order, for viewers that come in late in the season. In music there's Ilkae's Pistachio Island, "best heard on shuffle." In anime there's Haruhi, aired out of chronological order. In literature there's Nabokov's "Pale Fire", where the annotations make up half the book, causing the reader to flip back and forth between the poem and annotations out of order, trying to solve the mystery.
Overall though, humans tend to show a preference for linearity, probably because we ourselves are stuck in linear time.

It's just a .tar.bz2 archive with the executables inside, similar to a .zip. You can probably right-click > Extract... or something in a fancy GUI, but this is how to do it using the command line:
tar xjf katawa_shoujo_blahblahblah.tar.bz2
cd Katawa_Shoujo_blahblahblah
./Katawa_Shoujo.shYou may need to chmod +x Katawa_Shoujo.sh before that last step to make it executable. Then you're good to go.

Artist - album has only existed for ~100 years (exact date disputed). Artist - album - track has only existed for ~50 years (8-track... unless you you were the fucking Rain Man of vinyl seeking, in which case fair enough). Both of those forms took a while to catch on.
Classical music and the like is not actually that hard to understand in terms of organization, particularly because 19th- and 20th-century musicologists played "organize everyone's music" like it was Pokemon. If you see something listed with an Opus+number, that is a good sign, because that was usually the composer's personal ordering system. Not that they'll be in order, or that every Opus was ever made available (some composers would be arbitrary about it or grant an opus to paper destined for the wastebin).
>>407
I use tumblr when I feel like DAMMIT FUCK THE GROUP PROJECT I AM WATCHING A CASCADE OF SHERLOCK AND CAT GIFS THIS IS IMPORTANT. The reposting of posts wouldn't be so godawful if there were just some way of organizing that shit. Instead you are at the mercy of people's bad tagging at best.
This is all the same post because it is all about how people don't organize their shit. It is easier to shoot first and hope you're important so that someone else picks up the mess. Easier than being OCD and dying young.
