They're just "in" right now. It's similar to how I like charts and clever representations of data, but the infographic fad is really starting to grind on me.

If you want pretty typography, look at specimens. I especially like exljbris because he makes good use of ligatures and other fun OpenType features. I keep seeing his typefaces popping up everywhere, and in an unusual twist I'm actually really happy for the guy.

Sakakibara Yui could use some coaching in English pronunciation. Only when I looked at the lyrics sheet did I figure out she meant to sing "Travel" and not "Sherbet".

Also, am I the only one who kind of regrets that the Japanese did not become as loanword-phobic as http://ja.uncyclopedia.info/wiki/%E6%95%B5%E6%80%A7%E8%AA%9E suggests?

707 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6847 01:07

>>702, you know, I do feel a little sorry for him. The backlash against Museo Sans is inevitable.

But then I remember he probably gets decent money for it so who gives a shit.

>>706 you and every slick 80s guy who thought Japan was going to kick the worldfs collective asses before it turns out the Japanese economy was built on 2007: The Preview. Those glegitimateh terms are fucking unworkable, which is more or less the point of the satire.

A "truth or dare" thread might be nice, but in reality it'd basically just be a combination of the demand and question threads.

Really, it should have been inevitable. In a way, I'm surprised at how little stimulus it took in the end - then again, I seem to hate everyone apart from her; why should you be the exception? You cannot hope to compare to her, my dear. Don't even try.

Internet crushes are the worst. You want to see the person so goddamn badly but you usually can't, at least not for months and months.

>>725
I don't even understand how they work.

For example Tokiko claims to have fallen madly in love with a girl over IRC. I'm all for adapting to new technologies and new sexual/romantic attitudes, but how does this even work? I could make someone fall in love with me just by typing.

They don't, do they?

When did he say this? I don't see that on the archives. There's a lot of hate against IRC on the boards. Don't just believe every rumor about the shitposter of the week...

I'm thinking about lighting a one hundred dollar bill on camera and recording it. What song should I play? Should I jerk off onto it first or something? I'm not good at modern art!

>>732 I hold the opinion that it isn't art if you don't know what or why you're doing it, unless that's the point

Still have some vodka left from last night, alongside the vivid memory of sexual foreplay with a friend who kept me company. Well, guess I'll drink to that.

It isn't art unless you don't know what you're doing.

737 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6849 08:23

I read Oyasumi Punpun every day. It's practically my Bible.

738 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6849 08:32

>>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!

739 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6849 08:35

>>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.

740 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6849 09:35

>>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.

741 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6849 09:39

>>740
I'd be happy to hear you explain why you think it's flawed, actually.

742 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6849 10:25

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".

743 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6849 10:51

Looking through old chatlogs...so nostalgic...so erotic...

744 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6849 11:03

>>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.

745 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6849 11:34

>>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.

Today, a Japanese woman called me "onii-chan". That is all.

749 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6849 18:40

>>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 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6849 18:42

>>747
It's okay.
>>748
Lol'd some.

Today am I going to ask her out. (If she's there.)

751 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6849 20:15

>>750
Good luck! Don't over-exaggerate or she'll feel nervous and turn you down, even if you're a nice guy.

753 Name: 744 : 1993-09-6849 22:27

>>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.

754 Name: 749 : 1993-09-6850 00:08

>>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.

755 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6850 01:21

>>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.

758 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6850 08:06

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.

759 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6850 08:58

>>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.

760 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6850 09:12

>>758
Hey, me too!

>>759
My problem is that I'm just naturally introverted and bad at talking to people. I don't think I can ever feel truly comfortable in a social setting.

761 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6850 12:31

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?

762 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6850 12:50

I'm once again glad to be a teetotaler and only lose control of my faculties to the tune of occasional sleep deprivation.

I've recently started playing the computer game based on The Black Cauldron and realized that the Chapman brothers' game, Peasant Quest, is probably inspired by it in part.
