I preferred the thread title as it was in Part 5 over the shorter version in Part 6, and so I decided to copy the style of the former. May this THREAD Restoration usher in a new era of peace, prosperity, progress and posts about current thoughts for /dqn/!
I want to lucid dream.
>>256 I meant I realised now I have a stable relationship I don't feel very DQN anymore, and it feels a bit rude of me to be amongst you now.
To be honest, I have a strange respect for people who bring up their marriages or relationships in a non-obnoxious manner. I'm a shut-in NEET, but I'm happy to be among real grown-ups.
>>259 Oh, I don't talk about it, and I agree there is a lot of blog posts, hopefully that blog thread will soak up some of them, but I can't help no longer feeling an affinity to the DQN archetype, vague though the chap may be. Maybe other things affect other things>
No, this isn't allowed. I'm always the one who can accomodate every eventuality; I'm not allowed to be overwhelmed. Of course I get tired, but I don't just get tired of life. What am I supposed to say or think? "It's just too much?" Of course it fucking isn't, how could it be. I don't need naps. I don't need rest. Even my "relaxing" hobbies aren't really relaxing, and that's just exactly how it should be. I'm not going to post this. My beloved, I won't fail you. But to attempt it in this state - we remember what happened the time before last. I cannot put myself through that again. I'm not going to post this. My love, I cannot even see you. Where are you? Where are you? No, I cannot sleep. I can throw off most of my obligations for tonight but this one still stands. I don't even have the patterns, besides something vague involving cogwheels and flowers. I have no idea what the sleeves are to be like. The hat - likewise, no idea. Perhaps just the original? The straw hat inspired one? I'm going to fucking end up posting this, aren't I. Oh, but the wings. If I can make this work then it will all be worth it. It will all be worth it. My guardian atop my bed, how could my subconscious defy me then? I swear I'm not actually insane. I shouldn't post this. Is one picture ever enough? Oh, my poor head. Poor me. Please have some pity.
I cannot conclude this at all.
I wish she would message me back already. And that my other friends did not have a gig tomorrow. I have nothing to do after work.
Fuck.
Oh well. I guess I'll just go to Selah Cafe and Internet for a few hours.
>>265
Why? Don't be. It made no sense and was fun and funny to read.
I just got a captcha that I've had before, I wonder if it means something. quetution
re: significant others, I've had significant others on and off since 2007, in no way has it affected my posts on DQN. I take that shit to /love/!
I don't think that talking about our lives is a non-DQN thing, >>259. Maybe we don't really have anyone who will care, even remotely, other than fellow dokyuns?
>>269
As long as we keep it in the threads whose themes aren't expressly and exclusively DQN QUALITY, I think it's okay. Personally, you guys are the only ones I feel comfortable telling anything to. And as for having no one else who cares, they can rest assured at least some of us will listen with an open heart.
I could really do with a cat right now.
>>272
I could really do with a girl right now, but a cat is fine too.
vc: reape
Sleep...I must sleep.
へ-ﾍ

>>275
Thanks, now I'm even more turned on. Your resistance only makes etc. and all that.
Gawd, I love Regina Speltor.
I sent an e-mail today, I hope it got through or didn't get blocked.
>Near-horizontal rain thanks to mighty gusts of wind, barely able to open my room door on return from the toilet because of all the air pressure, my windows violently tilting open and shut by themselves ...
I'm OK with this.
( ﾟ ヮﾟ) In fact I'm ecstatic!
It's possible to light a cigarette with a magnifying glass.

This comic does a suprisingly good job of depicting how I feel right now.
>>282
Hell yeah it is. We had a big fresnel lens from an old big screen TV that we used to not only light cigarettes, but also to reduce the ends to ash too... and put burn marks in the concrete... and blind ourselves. That thing is pretty terrifying...
>>285
There was a time in the US, back in the late 1990s, when a now nearly-defunct dialup Internet service provider called "America Online" shipped free setup CDs out as junk mail to every address they could find on the continent.
People found novel uses for the CDs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uADnSZszD-s
My favorite, which I can no longer find online, was a solar cooker that focused sunlight using the shiny sides of several hundred old AOL CDs and could be used to fry sausages, melt metal for recycling, fire pottery, or inscribe one's initials on the surface of the Moon. It was less of a "solar cooker" and more of a "death ray," come to think of it.
>>286
Are you from the future?!
My favourite was the campaign to collect a few hundred thousand of them and dump them on AOL HQ.
>>285
Oh when I was younger I used to screw around with those too. Careless experiments are always a lot of fun.
You turn me on so hard!
My fetish is to cosplay while I let him do dirty things to me. I have no idea how to explain this.
Only five minutes left, god damn it. Also I'm twitching again.
I think I have found my husbando.
WHAT IF WE HADN'T BEEN EACH OTHER AT THE SAME TIME
>>293
Congratulations.
It's Nanba Mutta from Space Brothers. He's precious and I want to take care of him forever...
>>296
Make sure to treat him with the love and affection he deserves.
>could be used to fry sausages, melt metal for recycling, fire pottery, or inscribe one's initials on the surface of the Moon.
>inscribe one's initials on the surface of the Moon.
I'm going to need some more info on this from you. I have tons of old CDs that I could actually use for something. Ever since thumbdrives came out I don't know what to do with CDs anymore. But a fuel-less way to melt metal would be very useful to me.
>>298
They were arranged in such a fashion so that the shiny sides reflected light to focus it on a specific point in space. There is a word for this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliostat
With enough CDs you could become a supervillain and threaten to burn satellites out of orbit, or write graffiti on the Moon.
Did you know the Scottish have some funny names for what is otherwise fairly normal food?
>>300
Not as bad as Wales. They have a food called "Welsh rarebit". It's basically cheese on toast and it contains no "rarebit" (which isn't even a real world) nor rabbit. And top it all off, it isn't even Welsh!
I think Wales is a silly name for a country.
>>302
It's not like they knew whales and wails were going to be modern English words. Leave them alone.
>>299
Oh I see. Do you know of a guide to making such a heliostat? I've been googling various forms of how to make a DIY heliostat from old CDs and found nothing.
Fuck manliness, it's time for fairies.
Being proud of liking non-masculine things is manly as hell
I'm a big manly man with enough muscles in my arm to use it as a nutcracker on kittens. Which I do, quite often.
Let's think less and feel more. Oh, alcohol. Your charm is dangerous, isn't it?
Lewdness gets really old.
Waking up with headaches (for no reason) is awful. Ahh!
My friend read all the scripts to Red Dwarf before he ever botehred watching a single episode. He was terribly disappointed by the low production values of the show and choice of actors portraying the roles. So basically, he enjoyed reading the series rather than actually watching it.
It got me thinking. So much of anime is just dead air: people walking down a street, staring out a window, people locked in battle, opening and closing credits, and other wastes of time. If a series were deconstructed back into story boards, an episode might take five minutes or less to read instead of watching it for a half hour.
Let's be honest. I think a lot of us are only watching this stuff to be remain part of "the culture" anyway. Why not free up our valuable time for more depressing things? Never mind, I just figured it out.
I'm falling in love with a certain popular shonen. This can't be good.
>>314
Good idea with the story boards. I'm sure no one's thought of selling those in Japan before :-)
>>314
But the whole point of Red Dwarf (and where most of its humour derived from) was the characters interacting with each other. And Craig Charles, Chris Barrie, etc. did a great job at that. Hell, the good casting choices couldn't be more obvious with Holly. When Norman Lovett quit and Hattie Hayridge took over with the same lines intended for him, Holly lost his charm.
Your friend is stupid and he should just read books.
>I think a lot of us are only watching this stuff to be remain part of "the culture" anyway.
I object, sir. I watch anime for cute things.
>>314
Read manga, then. Almost the same as storyboards. Or go straight for the light novels.
Star Wars could be cut down to ten minutes, easily. We don't meet Luke until about ten minutes in which is dumb. Then there's all the meeting people and character interaction, a.k.a. boring filler. What should happen:
Let's be honest here, most works of fiction, books, movies, or anime, could all have their plots heavily condensed. If you are getting bored of all the padding you should probably take a break from consuming media of that type.
>>321
Yup. See http://rinkworks.com/bookaminute/ and http://rinkworks.com/movieaminute/ for some extreme examples.
Could we condense DQN?
>>323
[Overdone] ITT the previous poster toasts ships [SJIS emoticons] [Kopipe] [Part 9001] (998)
>>324
If that's actually what you think of it, then you shouldn't even be here.
>>323
Instant DQN! Just add water! (shouldn't this be in /food/, though?)
>>314
watch subbed animu at 2x speed as a time saver when you don't want to savor the flavor
most people can read faster than they can listen
>>314 I like anime but I'd hate to think of myself as part of "the culture", I keep it a secret and stay away from forums etc and try to stay ignorant of it all, finding anime I like purely by chance or linked from ones I enjoy
>>328
This. In fact, I recommend this for anything. Every fanbase is awful and everyone has strong opinions. The day I stopped reading reviews and blogs and forums was the day I learned to enjoy things a lot more. It's quite astounding how many anime I've liked but most people hated, or films the critics loved but I thought were awful.
I know that at least one person reading this is living their lives by Rotten Tomato scores or what some forum thinks, even if they don't realize it. Accept nothing but factual data, and only then will you achieve satori.
>>329
Hunh. That's a pretty good way to think about it.
Naruto is still awful though.
>>329
I came to this realization about video games a while ago. A lot of people seem to judge games in terms of other games and then reason along the lines of "This is not like my FAVORITE GAME in aspect X, so it's a CRAPPY GAME." e.g. "bad controls" sometimes actually means "you have to be willing to get used to how it controls before you can enjoy it, because it's a bit different from <popular game that is similar, superficially or otherwise>."
>>331
What's funny is, a lot of the same artists are still going and making great music, but people don't care so much.
Props to the Pet Shop Boys fans in whichever thread it was. Perfect example.
Cogs and gears look pretty.
Ex says she lost my Touhou shirt. See her tagged in a few pictures. She's wearing my god damn shirt.
This is incredibly childish.
The Elitist Superstructure is not being elitist enough.

On principle I never post in shitty threads (hence why I'm responding in this thread) but I absolutely must agree with you. I don't come here to read about other people's everyday lives, nor do I particularly feel the need to tell everyone about mine. I think that, somewhat like the shitposting thread, people just post in it because it's there. It doesn't actually reduce the number of blog/shit posts in other threads because they wouldn't have been prompted to post it otherwise.
Instead, of course, the newbies get the idea that this is what they're supposed to be posting, and DQN comes one step closer to 4chan. Nonetheless, I'm well aware that this post probably won't solve a damned thing. The best solution is, of course, to make a significant number of good posts in order to offset the shitty ones.
>>340
The funny thing is that world2ch already has the same thread and they do it much better. People who want to blog about their lives should just do it there: http://world2ch.org/board/kareha.pl/1321792296/
>>340
this is a shitty thread encouraging shitposts too. it's just an establishment by now.
>>342
What the fuck sort of response is that?
SAoVQ has a LOL HAPPY THINGS VIPPERS xDD thread, so we shouldn't post them here!
And I hear /lounge/ has a current thoughts thread, why are you fags here instead?
Fucking faggot.
>>342
world2ch died when a certain few underage tripfags decided they fit in.
>>345
Archduke was the first person on the site after Klang. Your argument is invalid.
I wish everyone would just fuck off and die.
(;´Д｀)Guys guys! Why can't we all just be friends? Why can't things just go back to the way they were before? Remember when we were children, in the summer, with blue popsicles and hanabi? So we should all get along and be happy onegai!
>>350
Shut the fuck up you fucking weeaboo.
Oh I know four words of Japanese and have a text file of 2channel emoticons! Better shoehorn those into all my posts!
Stop being angry...
