And for your crimes against the Japanese language, you should feel bad. Are you a necrophiliac, or is your beloved an inaqnimate object? If not, ある should be replaced by いる. Also, たくさん is only used with discretely quantifiable things. I am not aware of any such scale for infatuation. Lastly, if your first line was meant to form a complete sentence, it's missing a だ after 大好き.

No, I'm not a necrophiliac. And thank you for the corrections.

>>43
In all honesty, I think the Wapanese crowd is cool. At least, some of 'em. Not the Kawaii Morning type, but Japanese learners like in this thread and people who are truly fascinated by Japan. However, that's all nonsense. I wish anonymous texboards would take off here as well. Imagine if 4-ch got as much traffic as 2ch. That'd be great. I don't understand why textboards and even internet anonymity aren't popular in the US. Maybe Americans are too individualistic?
only cure is let go! Jump!
> Imagine if 4-ch got as much traffic as 2ch. That'd be great. I don't understand why textboards and even internet anonymity aren't popular in the US. Maybe Americans are too individualistic?
Yeah, that's what I mean. The framework is all there. Hell, the websites are already there. I have no problem with ordinary people coming to 4-ch as long as they don't act like idiots. It happens already on the Personal boards.
My only reservation would be if 4-ch turned into 4chan, and the signal-to-noise ratio decreased as it became too "normal" and mainstream. Part of 4-ch's charm at the moment is that it's slow, but the posts are generally entertaining.
>>47
I feel the same. I like the regular fans of anime and manga and video games, and those interested in Asian or Japanese culture. And to be perfectly frank, such people are smarter than the average American. Or at least that is my experience.
One of the reasons you-know-what-imageboard went to crap is because of the difference in the mind set of Amercian 'net users and Japanese 'net users.
As you probably know the Japanese have a very very strong group, or herd, mindset. And for reasons unknown to me they also already have the idea of keeping separate their cyber-space life from their meat-space life. This is part of why Facebook -a site all about the individual/yourself and where you are forced to use your real legal name- is not cracking the Japanese market and why Twitter -a site about the trending topics/mass discussion and where you can make up any identity you want- is pretty popular.
When a Japanese person sees an Internet community of some sort, they think "How can I become a part of this? How can I add to this?" Which of course forms a better community no matter what!
But, when an American, or a westerner in general, sees some sort of Internet community they think "How can I make this about me? What can I take from this?" Sub-consciously or otherwise. In my honest opinon that the majority of my generations minds have been tainted with narcissism.

Of course here I am posting this with a tripcode. Guess I'm one of them. Even if the vast majority of the time I post anonymously. But then what makes me want to use a tripcode that 1% of the time I'm not posting anonymously?
I have seen grey!C.MxxuCiTo post a few times now. I generally forget names and tripcodes, but he has caught my attention.
Is he one of the people I am supposed to (or going to) hate? He seems okay so far.
>>50,54
You make some good points, and I agree with the gist of what you're saying. I, too, wish for an internet where people focus on the community rather than the individual. That's why I love places like DQN.
However, I think your idealization of the Japanese internet isn't quite true. (Keep in mind that the following is based on personal experience, not concrete data.) I've found the average Japanese internet user to be as guilty of individualism as their western counterparts. Japanese know of 2-ch, but most people I meet use it rarely, favoring more personal sites. Mixi, twitter and personal blogs are very popular, and Facebook is rapidly gaining ground as well.
And then I've found that even 2-ch itself is not really the magical heaven of quality that we sometimes to make it out to be. They have plenty of stupid posters, elitists and spammers, just like the western internet.
In short, I think the concept behind 2-ch is noble and wonderful, but nothing is perfect in practice. Wherever you go, you will have to do some sifting to get the quality. The most we can do is keep trying to make entertaining posts, and hope other users follow suit.
>>54
I think it had some success but it's an uphill battle. I still saw a ton of 2-ch character paraphernalia wherever I went in big cities in Japan, and I doubt they asked permission or donate the money to 2-ch's servers.
>Mixi, twitter and personal blogs are very popular, and Facebook is rapidly gaining ground as well.
>Facebook is rapidly gaining ground as well.
Aw crap.

On a related note, does anybody have any tips for talking someone out of suicide?
>>65
If you have a means of heading to their home, I would recommend giving them immediate company. Otherwise you might successfully imbue them with the perspective of how insignificant their problems might be compared to worldly issues at hand. If they are feeling particularly isolated and alone, reassure them that you care for them and would be devastated to see them go - for example: If they say "nobody cares about me", the proper response is "I care about you". Sometimes, if you have experienced their sort of trauma, you can empathise with them and thus create a feeling of shared misfortune. This serves to lighten their burden significantly.
I know a lot of very depressed people.

Here's some insight from someone who's suicidal at the moment (I'm getting help, no worries), the advice about noting the person's insignificance would have an opposite effect, because it's the meaningless of life that's currently troubling me. Be sure to know about the person's troubles before giving them advice.

I suspected as much, to be honest. Good to know you're getting help as well. It'd be a great shame to lose a fellow dokyun.

I believe that understanding of the insignificance of everything and the nothingness of death are two major milestones in personal philosophy. Don't let religious nonsense about afterlife, reincarnation, etc get you there.
The first one reveals how ridiculous are people, lets you poke fun at them and improves the mood in general. The latter one gives you an ability to judge whenever the life sucks big enough to be done with it.

I think that I experienced a panic attack in class today. We watched a video about crystal meth when it happened. For some reason, I've always just felt funny when the topic of drugs comes up. Anyway, what happened was they were showing some houses of meth addicts, interviews with their kids, that kind of thing. I start feeling weird. A bit dizzy, a bit sick to my stomach. I start to sweat and feel hot. My pulse begins to slow down, and I get dizzy. My vision fades out to white and I wonder if I'm dying. My world feels like it's came to a stop, and I just get hotter and hotter as I worry that people are staring at me. (My head is down on my desk at this point.) I'm not sure how long the whole experience lasted, but it couldn't have been more than five minutes, and it was very, very, awful.
I wish that somewhere out there in this wide world there was a hot girl with a fetish for a boy that likes drunkenly eating a baguette erotically in bed while half-heartedly watching youtube videos.
God damn it, I bet I had the Zeppelin key with me the entire time.

Anthropology and ancient history are such enlightening topics to pursue after one has dwelled intellectually upon modern conceptions of life, death and the nature of the universe.

For all that I disliked the Harry Potter fandom as a teenager, I'm glad the actual stories (and a good deal of fan-fiction for that matter) were genuinely entertaining works of literature. Growing up, it's distressing to see kids these days with their Twilights, Hunger Games, Homestucks and whatnot, who might never know the meaning of good fiction.
Also, what other fandom has created something as amazing as AVPM? That's right; none.

Grass is always greener, eh? I, too, went through a brief period where I surprised myself with my own promiscuity. I realized that such a life can be fun at times, but is not really what I want.

Right after I swear off sexual gratification I suddenly become swamped by females. What is this.
I don't even know what's real anymore.
Years ago, during high school, friend A pissed on friend B's car door handle and didn't tell him until days later, after B had been touching the wet handle (assuming it was anything but piss).
This made B really angry, so he devised a plan to get revenge.
See, A was a fearful Christian- he was afraid of hell, things like that. B was an atheist who had recently picked up a copy of the Satanic Bible. This gave him an idea- he went into the woods near his house and he, myself, and another friend all set up this creepy looking altar and pit with a pentagram dug into the dirt. We uprooted a tree stump to use as a pulpit.
B had planned on picking A up one night and telling him they were going to go hang out and smoke in the woods or something. Then he would bring him to the site where the rest of us involved would be waiting.
I was to be the Satanic priest, because everyone thought I would be able to best keep a straight face, reading a rite straight from the Satanic Bible (in the latter half of the book, I don't remember which in particular). The pentagram in the pit was supposed to be filled with gas and lit on fire, and we were going to pretend we were about to draw blood from A to finish the rite, and just before doing it we would reveal ourselves and B would tell him that they were even.
However, we got a little excited and had been talking about it in school after we had set up the spot in the forest. Some of our other Christian friends felt bad for A so they warned him beforehand, and the day we had planned to do it, when B called A and asked him to hang out, A said something to the effect of, "Oh, for the Satanic Ritual?"
I just remembered this while getting a drink from the kitchen.

Go for it! Imagine if the places were reversed. You asking this girl you like to hang out every night, and the girl likes you but for reasons unknown she is trying to make herself not like you.
Fuck that shit. Go for it anyway.

Half the shit does not make sense and the other half of the shit only serves to make you ask questions to figure out the other shit but it's so nonsensical you don't even know what questions to ask.

I'm pissed off. A guy that I thought was my friend has suddenly started being an asshole towards me online, and he won't say why. If he could just tell me why he hated me, I'd be fine with it, but the way he does it just makes me so inexplicably mad.
>>268
Why not hang out with her?

Have you asked him? How long have you known him for?
And yeah, it really does suck when people aren't upfront with you.

There have been a few people I've talked to who do this. Usually I'll just tolerate it and joke around, but sometimes they're actually being cynical to the point where negotiation is impossible. If being unyieldingly understanding doesn't work, try giving him some space?
As for the girl, we do hang out. That much is alright. As I said, I'd rather just be friends.

There is something in the help files that mentions changing some value from "auto" to "vfat" in some file called "fstab" but I do not know what that is or how to do it.
Help please?
>>301
fstab is your file systems table located in /etc/fstab
You will need to edit it as root with the text editor of your choice.
If it's in there, the value you need to change should be the third field. e.g. change
/dev/sdc /media/someplace autoto
/dev/sdc /media/someplace vfat>>302
Are you sure? I have a /dev/ directory but there is no /sdc/ sud-directory in it.
>>303
No, I mean those are lines in the fstab file.
Also, they are files. The /dev directory holds device files for your hard drives, mice, keyboards, etc. You may have heard the saying "everything in UNIX is a file". This is why.
>>303
unix uses files to describe devices, not directories. try this:
ls /dev/ | grep sd
sda is usually your hard drive
sda1, sda2, etc are partitions on your hard drive
everything after a (sdb, sdc, sdd) with a number after it (sdb1, for example) is a partition on a device that's usually removable storage. hth

I wish we were organized enough to pick a narrator and voice actors for different characters. But that story was mostly action, wasn't it? And characters only had a couple of lines before they died or fell out of story line, hadn't they? We might as well get a professional narrator and an Indian tech support for the rest.
>>314
Let's do the next best thing and partition it into x sections of y posts long. Then we can claim section y and have the whole story narrated eventually. Is 50 posts each a good start? 70? 30? 999/50 = 20 sections. How's that sound to everyone?
section x*
>>315
How about we split them into the 10 sections that already exist? They are listed quite conveniently at http://tanasinn.info/wiki/DQN_Short_Novel.
The lengths of the sections vary widely, but that's okay. I think 10 sections is a good number, I doubt we'll have more than 10 people wanting to record.
If people are cool with this idea I'll make a wiki page for the recording project so people can claim sections!

Needless to say, I've completely forgotten the code itself and why I thought it was a good idea in the first place.

What are some well done mobile news sites? NHK's is good. Even on GSM that shit loads in a millisecond.
http://k.nhk.jp/daily/
The BBC's however, well this is just not how you build a site to load on the tiny'est screens that people actually use.
http://m.bbc.co.uk/news#0
Huge banner, desktop sized image, another small image attached to the headline of every story. No just no.
>>421
OH AND WHAT IS WITH THAT SHINY WEBTWOPOINTOH DROPDOWN BANNER?
All non-touchscreen phones will are automatically not going to be able to use it. Damn.
Anyway, you guys got any good mobile news sites? Channel-4 is nice on any phone but no one every posts on the news board.
>>422
BBC site is alright. That "desktop sized" image is 40kb, thumbnails are 4kb, the layout is optimized to scale with the size of the screen down to 235px wide. AFAIK non-touchscreen phones have a pointer that switches between links. This drop-down menu is toggled by a click which means it should work on all phones.
Anyway, touchscreen phones are likely to have a BBC News app and they don't need this site anyway. That app is really neat, I use it every day.
On the other hand, NHK site screams, "I'm such a cheapo, I can't afford a normal data plan!" and it uses <center>, <font> and <marquee> tags. Which are non-standard/deprecated since HTML4. I hope they feel bad for this.
Speaking of liquid designs this one wins hands down: http://dev.opera.com/ (play with your browser width) ― although I'm not sure whenever it will load images if they are hidden or not or not.
In short: stop praising everything from Japan, Japanese are really bad at webdesign, get Windows Phone 8 when it comes out, drink your milk.

When I read things that I wrote in the past, I shake my head and find them highly embarrassing. "What a freaking tool I was back then," I think to myself. However, if I pretend that the things are written by a total stranger, I find myself instead thinking, "Hey, this is a pretty cool guy. I think I'd get along well with him."

At first I read that as "I can't wait for the chance to be alone and get to fuck my family for a while."
I ask myself why I don't post on 4-ch more then I realize I have nothing to contribute of quality.

However, if I pretend that the things are written by a total stranger, I find myself instead thinking, "Hey, this is a pretty cool guy. I think I'd get along well with him."
Same. I blame pseudonymous BBSs for creating “coolness” competitions among posters, or maybe it was just me being a douchebag.
>>447
But aiming for the water reduces the amount of back-splash, so the rim of the toilet will not get as dirty!
I hate it when people go "woo". You know, when they're clapping. I can't get along with people who do that. I also can't get along with almost anybody else.
A person I dislike is posting here and it makes me uncomfortable knowing posts might be theirs. And this sort of thinking is exactly what they strive for.

Being /jp/ regular is like being a retard. Too bad there's no way to contain retards on the internet.
I'm easy to troll on slow-moving boards like this. It just pisses me off that the shitposts of /jp/tards and their ilk will be part of this board forever, unless they get deleted by mods (which given the standards of /dqn/ at its best is quite unlikely).
Also, it's way past my bedtime and I'm cranky.
>>521
I find that one of the beautiful things about these boards, to be honest. We're not strictly trying to keep a clean record, and the posts--good or bad--will be around forever. We're not cherry-picking good posts to put in a time capsule. If some futuristic beings in the year 1994 look back on /dqn/, they'll see it exactly how it was.

Wishing on a dream that seems far off
Hoping it will come today
Into the starlit night,
Foolish dreamers turn their gaze,
Waiting on a shooting star
But, what if that star is not to come?
Will their dreams fade to nothing?
When the horizon darkens most,
We all need to believe there is hope
Is an angel watching closely over me?
Can there be a guiding light I've yet to see?
I know my heart should guide me, but,
There's a hole within my soul
What will fill this emptiness inside of me?
Am I to be satisfied without knowing?
I wish, then, for a chance to see,
Now all I need, [desperately]

I thought Katawa Shoujo was kind of boring but the music was nice.
Oh shit! I just realized that I'm going to learn sign language so I can talk with my girlfriend just like that guy in that game. I guess that eroge isn't all that different from real life after all? Fuck, did I just compare life to porn video games? I'm messed up!
>>583
Funny that you say that. I did Rin's route a few months ago and forgot about the game, but just last night I picked it back up on a whim. I played through Shizune's route and found myself thinking, 'I wonder how it would feel to play this while learning sign language to talk to a girl you like in real life?' No kidding, I actually thought exactly that.
I haven't played other VNs so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I was impressed by the art and detail. The plot and dialogue can be long-winded and angsty, and the sex scenes are laughably unrealistic, but I didn't expect much more from an eroge. All in all, it's a pretty fine game for what it is and a testament to the power of internet collaboration.
>>580
Why do you need money to make an album?
Why am I giving for a cause before it's even done anything?
Why not earn the money yourself if you need it? I might be able to get investors, but people on the streets wouldn't just give me money for a project even if it was noncommercial.
I'm tired and it's still two weeks until the festival.
>>585
Because nobody will just give you a studio and/or press your CDs for free.
>>587
In which case you earn money to pay for those things.
Asking for free money because you're a content creator is dumb. Imagine if instead of saving up for their instruments, The Beatles went around Merseyside asking, "Hello, me and my friends are trying to start a band. Would you mind giving us a quid or two so we can afford instruments and a studio?"
Not to mention content creation is fun. Welders or bricklayers may be able to get an advance, but they can't say, "Oh I'll probably weld some trucks or lay a few bricks in the future. Mind giving me some money now?"
>>588
Well, the good thing about Kickstarter is that you only actually give people the money when the target sum is raised and work on the project begins, so you're not exactly paying for vague promises of some distant future outcome. It's more like promising "if you find enough other suckers to get started, I don't mind giving you a small amount".
>>583
This is my new favourite VN, and it pretty much changed my life. Sounds like eye-rolling material right? Well it's what happened. Most other visual novels were pretty much just about the porn and the subsequent fapping. Katawa Shoujo was not, and it showed me what life could be. Rin and Lilly both. Now I'm running, eating better, drawing, learning ASL, and going to college after two years of doing nothing. I have a better understanding of myself and my life and how I want to live and the happiness that I seek to obtain. That I will obtain.
All because of this "cripple porn game." Heh.
I found something chemistry-related, but you're not around so I can't show you it. 'Tis a shame.
IT'S SO NICE OUT!
>just about the porn and the subsequent fapping
If you've been playing nothing but hentai VNs, sure.
I respect your appreciation of the game and the creativity which went into your inspired works, but for such a small project whose roots are in a niche game made for a niche audience and started itself with very few resources, I don't agree with you begging for money to do what so many others simply enjoy doing for fun.
>>594
Oh shit, I am sorry. Your post made me think you were the Kickstarter guy. Anyway I agree with you fully about how amazing the game itself it.
>>585,588,590
By calling it "begging for money", "free money", or whatever, you don't seem to understand what this is for. It's more akin to theater production or concert promotion, where your backers spot you money for something that will end up turning a profit, and that thing isn't going to happen unless there is enough funding to get things started (unless you're trying to replicate the plot of The Producers for real).
Also, the game's FAQ says, "Selling fanworks that do not use official content (including the KS logo) and do not pretend to be official is okay." therefore it is okay. Don't get your knickers in a wad about it. Embrace Elitist Capitalism Lifestyle, fellow DQN.
That said, the proposal isn't very clear on what the product will be (is this a for-profit EP? on what formats? where will it be found when it's done?). One should always make this clear in a pitch; no backer should have to deduce this from anything other than the first couple paragraphs of "about this project". You know, before anyone thinks I have anything to do with supporting this project--which I will not be donating to because I am 100% fucking broke and live in my parents' basement （´_｀）トホホ

>one of his many pseudonyms
What makes a name false? Every identity which someone maintains is authentic in some sense.
That last caller was so full of crap. Everyone knows women are made from sand.
>>617
'pseudonym' is usually used in the sense of a self-bestowed title which one uses as a blanket under which his or her activities may be carried out in order to deter the credit given therein which would normally be associated with a more familiar, widely-known handle. It's not false, per se, but rather a deterrent from one's public and material identity.
I agree, however, and I think this is what you might have been getting at, that with the spread of information whose owner could be anyone, the notion of a static and unchanging alias which points only to the originator of the information itself is becoming less relevant.

I searched “good typography” on YouTube out of curiosity and only saw inane “kinetic typography” videos. I don't know why it's popular but it sure depresses me. My artistic beliefs are founded upon what I think of as “controlled vulgarity”, a balance between austere classiness and emphatic fantasy; and that is not balanced.
>>697
The more refined your taste, the harder it is to find art you like through the internet. At some point, all that's left to do is create it yourself.
> on YouTube
... yeah, looking for good typography on a video site that any old yahoo can and does upload is something like a fruitless endeavor.
I mean, I’ve seen nice typography in motion (e.g. DROPCLOCK), but overall video is not generally a good medium for it as art.
And most kinetic typography anyone’s ever linked to me saying “it’s sooo good” was utter shite.

I read Oyasumi Punpun every day. It's practically my Bible.
>>737
Do you re-read it, or are you just taking your time to progress a little each day? Either world make sense, it's a really VIP manga. I'm just curious, think nothing of it!
>>738
I consumed it like a starving child in Africa when I first read it. Nowadays I read one to two chapters a day, maybe more if my appetite calls for it. It's part of my daily routine now for some reason.
>>739
Hey, I also binge-read Oyasumi Punpun over the course of two days. I too was enamored with it, but once I had some time to reflect more, I realized that it's a little flawed. It's hard to explain though so I'll just shut up and let you enjoy it as long as it lasts.
>>740
I'd be happy to hear you explain why you think it's flawed, actually.
Does the thought of bottles red and black
The thought of tongues which taste you back
Fill you with a nauseous elation
THAT'S what it was! I kept hearing it as "nosy oscillation".
Looking through old chatlogs...so nostalgic...so erotic...
>>741
I'm hesitant to explain mainly because I cannot clearly form my thoughts. For one thing, I read it 6 months ago. I have a bad memory and can't recall specifics. However, I'll try my best to explain the impressions that remain - just take it with a tablespoon of salt.
Oyasumi Punpun has beautiful art, an engaging plot, and much more complex characters than your average manga. It really is a great work. I think it achieved its goals most perfectly in the childhood days.
However, as Punpun grows older, the manga loses some of its focus and depth. Its depiction of humanity is skewed. All the characters are frustratingly introspective. Now, having experienced deep depression and being pretty neurotic myself, I identified with this. However, there's more to life than that.
I think maturing entails gaining greater awareness of the world around you, and using this awareness to take control of your own fate and truly care for others. Yet most characters in Punpun never transcend their 20-something angst. It's a step up from teenage angst, but still an over-simplified perspective on the probles of the soul.
In short, I appreciated Oyasumi Punpun's look into the dark cyclic minds of lonely souls, but it wasn't as nuanced as I'd hoped.
>>744
I can see why it seems...would the correct word be "repetitive"? I understand why you'd view it like that. However, as someone who not only struggles with depression, but also a plethora of disabling mental illnesses, to me it's a perfect reflection of what life is like for someone with a severe distortion of reality. And reading it is a fresh experience for me every time, as it's something I can always relate to no matter the hour.
>>744

>>745
I'm the other one from earlier, and this also accurately describes what I feel about the story. The apparent lack of realism from another perspective is there because it's hard to believe something that one has not experienced for themselves, or to that extent.
>>750
Good luck! Don't over-exaggerate or she'll feel nervous and turn you down, even if you're a nice guy.
dota blows
>>747,749
I see where you guys (girls?) are coming from. Oyasumi Punpun does a great job of showing what the world looks like through mentally troubled eyes. I recognize that it's often repetitive and frustrating on purpose. And I especially love the "god of poop" perspective - I think that's where the manga really shines.
However, I would like to say this - I don't recommend using it as a bible. It offers a cynically realistic portrayal of many problems, but it doesn't offer many solutions. (Nor does it try, since that's not the point.) It's a good read, but if you're really looking for a bible, look elsewhere.
>>750
You can do it. Chill out and be casual/confident about it. (Easier said than done, I know!) Even if you're rejected, just consider it practice for the next time.
>>753
Haha, yes, it doesn't offer any solutions at all. Maybe we'll see something at the end. The appeal is very similar to that of Welcome to the NHK and Tatami Galaxy.
>>753
Well, when I use the word "Bible" I mean moreso that I read it as much as a religious person would read their Bible. I do not use it as an answer for my problems.
I am forever a lonely person even when there is someone who loves me

I prefer being alone, so I have no connections outside of my immediate family. Yet recently, I've realized the importance of developing interpersonal relationships for success in life, and I recognize my preference for remoteness as a personal failing. Despite this, I still feel unmotivated to put forth any effort towards changing my personality and social habits.
>>758
Connections are important for success, but I think you don't necessarily need to make a big change toward your personality or habits. You can stay remote and plan meetings with other people on your own time. During these meetings, you don't need to talk much, just ask questions and give them eye contact, listening as if you really care. Share just enough about yourself that they're willing to reciprocate, but you don't need to go overboard.
Fuck; everything is wrong. I usually don't let people know the degree to which I truly understand them, but when I am completely inebriated I end up mentioning things which frighten them in their factuality. It helps me lose friends fast - after all, who enjoys being truly transparent?

It's best just to not ever get into a relationship in the first place! The world is a mean place, and the only way you can maximize your happiness is by spending your time in isolation - stop looking outside of yourself!
I played Psychonauts (got it as part of the Indie Bundle V) and I was surprised how much it sucks despite all the critical praise. The writing is amusing, but that's all it has going for it. Game-wise it's just an old N64 platformer but with frustrating controls and a camera. If you're going to make me do generic platforming, at least give me smooth controls and camera. I might be able to forgive the terrible gameplay if it had good atmosphere, but the graphics are ugly as hell and I can't stand the whole 'wacky music' thing. No wonder this game didn't sell well.
Sword and Sworcery EP, on the other hand, is proving to be pretty good. It's light on the gameplay end, but it's more about the atmosphere of the graphics and music, which I think are excellent.
( ˃ Д˂) >>803 No, no, no! Don't shut yourself off from the world, you might just find someone who will love you and make it all worth it.

>>804 you're probably not going to be surprised, but all that's been said before.
( ・-・) I for one am absolutely ecstatic that collectathon platformers have gone the way of disco.
>>803
I agree it's most important to find happiness from within yourself first, rather than rely on others to give it to you. However, once you've established that, there's no reason to stay lonely. Nothing last forever, but that doesn't mean we can't love and be loved while it lasts.

All you can do is hope and try that they'll come up to your level. But don't try too hard, or you could end up in some sort of institution.
>>810 I'm also an extreme introvert, and I want to become a part of society again. But I can't stand dating, or even women for the most part. How do you get over that fact?
>>814
Forget about dating for now, start with the small stuff - learning how to use small talk to make quick friends and such.
>>816 I can already manage small talk. I have to do that at work. I can't make deeper connections, though. And I'm pretty sure none of this will help me with the relationship problem.
sorry, I don't mean to be contrary. But I've thought it through a lot by now.
>>817
Ah, I see. When you said you were extremely introverted I wasn't sure how bad it was since some people can't even leave the house.
Anyway, deeper connections are just a matter of slowly revealing personal things about yourselves little by little. Drop little hints of your true self here and there, and they will start to reciprocate with their own. Sometimes you can move along the process faster with personal questions. That's how you start to become friends.
Of course you don't have any reason to do this if you don't like them in the first place. You can't really force yourself to like someone. Just take it easy and eventually you will meet somebody that's true friend material. They're rare but out there. You may already know one but not realize it yet.
>>818
goddamn I just realized I sound like a freaking horoscope, please don't take my words too seriously
One kind of criticism to the exclusion of all other kinds of criticisms is is the cancer that is giving criticism a bad name.
>>819 don't worry about it. Your advice is good. I just need to find people who share my interests, and who I can talk to. And maybe romance can come after I have some friends...? Well, I still have serious doubts about that, but there's no use thinking about it.
It carries out and is Tungsten.
>>814
Get over it? I don't. This is going to sound really arrogant, but I look at most people as idiots. And my IQ is only slightly above the average. This situation is probably a lot worse for people with much higher IQs. But anyway, most people are shit. It's the norm. I just deal with it. But if I choose not to interact with anybody at all then I won't ever get to find the few people who are not shit. And they are great. People like me and people like you. I never knew this was what real friends were like until I got some. And it's great.
>>818
Is good advice.
>>823
I have a very high IQ and I appreciate the differences in people. I don't think that intelligence has anything to do with it.
>>823
I'm not particularly intelligent, but I feel the same way about people. Though the fact is, a lot of people think exactly like us.
I'd quite frankly rather be one of the idiots and appreciate everyone as my peers. It must be so nice to take everyone seriously rather than a select few people.
Try to look at life from their perspective and analyze why they think the way they do. It's possible to find grains of wisdom amidst the stupidity. I think writing off other people as 'shit' is just as dumb as the inability to solve logic puzzles.
My IQ is stratospheric. Doesn't make me not an "idiot" in any sense but the "low IQ" one. IQ is largely a measure of your ability to take IQ tests.
If you look at most people as shit, you are arrogant.
butts butts butts
>>828 I look at most people as shit, but it doesn't have to do with intelligence. Intelligence isn't something that can be controlled. Either you're smart or you're not, no sense in being proud of something you can't control (like your nationality, etc.) I don't look down on someone with a low IQ, because that wasn't his choice.
No, what I despise is ignorance. Ignorance is something you can control. Different opinions aside, I've got no respect for people who spout off about subjects they know nothing about as if they did. And while education can help, it doesn't always: I've met people without high school diplomas who are very well-informed (and very smart sometimes too) and I've met people with advanced degrees who completely had their heads up their asses.
>>830, I think I grasp the distinction. May I illustrate with an anecdote from my family?
In high-school, a science teacher played a prank on his class by telling them that the direction, clockwise or counterclockwise, that the water runs out of the toilet when we flush is dependent upon the gender of its last user. Most of the kids, including my younger sister, went home and attempted to verify this by experiment.
When she told our stepfather, a man illiterate his entire life, who also could not perform basic arithmetic, he laughed and said "How does the toilet know?"
My sister, as many youths are, was ignorant. My stepfather, while not a learned or worldly man, was not.
Is this the distinction, or have I failed to grasp something?
> I've got no respect for people who spout off about subjects they know nothing about as if they did.
And neither do I.
GOODNIIIIIIIIIIGHT!
>>831 yeah, I'd say that's the distinction, pretty much. Though that might have to do with the fact that students can be easily misled by their teachers, since they're supposed to be authorities on their subjects and all. Formal education doesn't teach you common sense, I guess.
I was also thinking of people who talk about "important issues" like politics and economics, and who think that because they've got a B.A. in Business Administration and watch 24-hour cable news that they know how to fix the world. There's nothing wrong with talking about these things, but if you're going to talk as if you were an expert, at least take from more sources than goddamn CNN and Fox News. Maybe read a few fucking books first, do some research and try to find both sides of the story. Sorry, I don't want to make this political, but I know a lot of these people. There might just be a lot of them where I live.
The concept of "first among equals" really isn't that hard, people.
Last FM has many flaws.
I'm trying to scrobble one of my favorite artists, and it shows I'm listening to her, but it won't record the plays.
For some reason I find Last.fm invasive. I mean, it has logs of all the music you've listened to in the past X years. Of course it's not like your music library is going to come up in a court of law years down the line, nor is the Last.fm software judging your terrible music taste, but it just feels scary to me.

One of my own creation. It consists of picturing a thought that is troubling me as a small tangible object, holding it in one hand, and, using my other hand, making a cutting motion through it. It doesn't help dramatically, but it has stopped me from dwelling on certain thoughts, as tends to happen.
My mother calls me. She asks if I have a Book of Mormon she can borrow. I tell her I think I have one but will probably have to dig for it. Whatever. I think she's studying up on Mormons because one might be president. She tells me that they went to see The Avengers which is kind of weird, but everyone else on earth has seen it. She then tells me that Captain America is "way too Aryan; Hitler would have loved him." I tell her that he's from the forties; there were a lot more white people back then. She says "well, then they should have used someone like John Hamm or 'some Italian.' Someone with some color to them..."
Old people are unbelievably racist. We should put them in camps...

Is it weird that I'm buying a book of mormon rather than getting one for free by just asking? I think if I ordered one from the church, they'd send guys to my house to tell me how great their little club is. I guess I could have ordered it and had it sent directly to my mother. The terrible things she'd have to say about the cheery and clean-cut white people on her doorstep would almost be worth it.
I went to two used book stores, each of which had multiple copies in the past. Both were out. Now is the time to invest in Mormon futures, I guess. I actually ended up ordering it online through Amazon marketplace. They don't sell it themselves, which seems weird. Well, they do sell a Kindle version. Even weirder, I guess.
>>896
They mail it to you. If they come to your house, just say that you can't deal with people, it's what I did.
What does it mean to "invest in a Mormon future"? Reading the book of mormon won't make you millions of dollars, it won't even probably make you five. The only people who need religious texts by necessity are religious leaders or religious teachers, and then there's some doubt (in my mind, at least) that they truly need their sacred words then. Faith is built around belief and nothing else.
>>896
Can't you buy one of better quality, though? I had a ton of free Bibles but they were all small and printed on that awful recycled paper you can see right through. A couple of years ago I got rid of them and bought a sturdier one.
I'd only end up talking to myself anyway.
People who claim to like Touhou but haven't played the game are absolute fuckwits.
I'm tired from work, so tired that I don't feel like writing or masturbating. I don't like my job, but I can't quit until I have one that pays more.
>>902
I agree.
Wario Ware is a superior party game to Mario Party. Party games are the only acceptable form of "social gaming" for me. I don't think I could quite get into online shooters. The only downside to party games is you need somebody to play it with. ;_;
I have never played a Touhou game because I run linux and it would be too hard to get it to work in linux let alone patching it for English.

Why do you need English? Aren't only elementary school kids allowed to use translations?

But I wasn't asking a question. It was a statement, not an interrogative.
I'm tempted to write a really big article whose main idea can be summed up to "fuck you to the poor guy who's going to have to write an essay on this 100 years in the future."
Only thing is, I suck at writing.
I want to read, learn, and exercise. I know they'd bring me joy and practical benefits. But my neuroticism and NEET lifestyle have made me all self-defeating and I try to rationalize not doing these things, even when I want to do them.
>>924 is mistaking NEET and Hikki. Since the first is a title while the second is the lifestyle he is describing. One can not have a Not in Employment Education or Training lifestyle since it is a title given to those who live in a hikki style rather than a quantifier by its own right.
>>925
Well, NEET carries certain connotations too. The Tokyopop translation of Welcome to the NHK! even defined it as a recent euphemism for hikikomori, though I'm not sure how accurate that is.
I just didn't want to call myself a hikikomori because that's a little obnoxious. Like identifying as a "hacker" instead of a "programming" or "coder". Feels like the kind of term that can only be conferred upon you by someone else.
>>926
I call myself a hacker, in the sense that I use something for a purpose it is not designed to do. See I have strung together various systems in my house to be able to control my TV and Air conditioning from my laptop connected to my server, however this does not give me access to the Whitehouses mainframe does it?
Using a term to refer to yourself as it was intended does not mean you need to associate yourself with the kind of people who use the term to pretend to be someone who has more power or skill than they really do. Saying that you are a social recluse is not something that should associate you with a group that is not in that category.
>>926
Also Tokyopop corporation is not known for their in depth research into pop culture, most of their descriptions are brief inacurate overviews and not actual definitions.
Why is being a normalfag so bad?
Ah... if only I could have chosen someone who was mentally sound to fall in love with. I wish she could be stable. Cheating and drugs and self-harm on her end, with a lack of attachment or affection for me, are all making me anxious... it doesn't make sense to care about someone who wants to destroy their life, but these feelings won't go away!
>>929
They're detestable. Also, back to the imageboards, buddy!
I come back from anime club and there's a Japanese monster movie on. This family is pretty cool.
I call myself a shut-in to avoid the drama associated with the terms hikikomori and NEET online. Shut-ins don't tend to have jobs and they aren't necessarily in their room 24/7, they just stick in their houses a lot.

What does it really mean to be a hacker? Do you have to program to be one? I have all kinds of little hacks for the way I do things, afk and ol, and even though I can't code well, I fit in with many of the hacker stereotypes and I feel I view things differently than normals do.

When you lose, you win.
>>902
I disagree. For many people Touhou is about the music, the characters and the massive body of fanon accumulated over the years. This includes even a lot of the people creating said fanon.
As for me, I bought several of the games only to discover that I die around stage 2-2 more often than I'm willing to put up with. So I stopped playing and went back to reading doujin manga and listening to the doujin music. If this means I am disqualified from liking Touhou as a whole in your eyes, well, fuck you.

I don't know. But I do know that both he and Gene Wolfe are Jack Vance fans. Almost all of Haviland Tuf's dialogue from the Tuf Voyaging stories are Martin's conscious attempt to have him speak like a Vance character from "The Dying Earth."

You are definitely receiving the most traffic from /jp/ when it comes to 4chan. Most people from /a/ and /v/ would not understand the appeal of DQN, let alone find it.
>>957
True. I don't mind 4channers (most of us are or were 4channers at some point), just stop using memes I don't recognize! Otherwise I'll have to look them up and get irritated at all the Memes "R" Us sites that have sprung up lately.
>>958
Most of 4chan is a MEMES R US site now, well /b/ at least. There are some good boards, like /tg/ and /po/. But after the news started heralding it as dangerous and edgy all the emos started flocking to it.

/jp/ isn't like that, it's full of assholes. It's just that the fast boards are full of crap.
Hormones is never an excuse for cheating... right?
To simultaneously love her and fear her; what an odd feeling.
feels like the only paths to success are theft, extortion, and murder. mostly extortion.
>>961
I don't think so... I have hormones, but I've never cheated on anyone before. Even though my kind-of girlfriend's cheated on me five times with two different people, I haven't wanted to cheat on her at all once.
>>966
She does a lot of bad things but she promised she'd change, so whatever...
DQN is one of the few places on the internet where I am completely at easy. Many sites agitate me and depress me.

It's ridiculously sunny here, and I can barely see any clouds in the sky. Yet the weather forecast claims there will be heavy thunderstorms with torrential downpours today.
Since we're on the subject... A while ago I told my kind-of boyfriend I cheated on him. It was a lie. I just wanted to push him away because of fear. Unsure if I should ever bring it up again... I've been thinking about it a lot though.

You may as well sort-of-dump him. Being told you've been deceived like that by someone you trusted and then trying to forgive them as they hang around is really fucking painful.

I came across this ages ago and found it interesting but forgot what it was called, but I just came across it again, how delightful :3 Perhaps some of you may remember I made an audio version of the DQN Madlib thread when it was finished; the backing track I made for that was partly inspired by this. I connected the line in of my iMac to the line in of my macbook pro and recorded the gentle buzzing static on the macbook, and then literally got an erection when I realised doing things on it changed the tone and timbre of the static in little ways, such as covering the light sensor, turning the brightness up and down, mashing the keyboard, carrying out tasks in other programs and using exposé
The DQN album is so great.

I think this is my first >>999GET. On this special occasion, I would like to regale you with my favourite quote about Japanese culture:
“The average Westerner, in his sleek complacency, will see in the tea ceremony but another instance of the thousand and one oddities which constitute the quaintness and childishness of the East to him. He was wont to regard Japan as barbarous while she indulged in the gentle arts of peace: he calls her civilised since she began to commit wholesale slaughter on Manchurian battlefields.”
―Kakuzō Okakura, The Book of Tea, 1906
