Hi everyone. I've found uboachan in hopes of finding the fanbase of Yume Nikki, but it seems that by doing so, I nestled upon this place. I'm sorry to hear of the bad things to occur in your life, as I know it's difficult. I am currently 15 (turning 16 very soon), but I do not find myself a good place to stay. I do not talk to many people at school, or enjoy life for any matter. I'm a sleep-deprived insomniac that wants some sort of escape from continuities. I hope you all will accept me here, even if I am underage; I promise to not portray myself in the light of which I am seen to be of my age..(If you tell us that we have to ban you. :/)

I noticed that most of the few "oldfag" and the sorta cynic, average day in dead boards attitude died in late 2016.
I myself made quite a few recent threads about re-exploring the old to spice up dicussion when it seemed uboachan was dead, to look back on things that eventually formed the core of this board but are no longer talked about.

It seems around Feb-March some new people started to come in here (mostly to post in /hikki/, which i don't see a problem with, but it seems uboachan is now rather centered around /hikki/), probably from lain/RandomInternetPlace.com/tumblr (lain got wiped for a while so some people gone refugee mode here, see that cyberpunk general, and tumblr is full of people praising YN for being "an artistic masterpiece", and i'm sure theres a lot of people that are somewhat depressed and use tumblr) , and i don't really know what is it that's causing this, are people looking UT wiki and finding that Gaster ripped off Uboa?

Anyways, the recent surge in activity is interesting.
Maybe some random dudebro from YT made a video about Yume Nikki that got decent views or something and people looked YN up and reached this place.

Well, /hikki/ is, very ironically, what is killing and keeping ubuu alive at the same time, in my opinion. I mean, Yume Nikki & FG discussion is stale as fuck; and for a good reason, the trend is almost completely dead. Interesting enough, recently there has been more activity there (as you've mentioned), but it's still not the most important center of discussion in this place, as it used to be. That role has been delegated to /hikki/, which is some sort of blogging board, thus placing the main point of our imageboard on something along the lines of the so-called "neet culture", which from my point of view is very stupid.

While I don't really expect a new spark of activity in /yn/ or /fg/ anymore, I wish /og/ was more active, I loved the pandora's box it used to be some years ago, when people would go there and post some rare jewels, and it's sill a board with a lot of potential.

Now, I know I proposed a why to the reason of there being many young people in this place, but I'm also be interested in knowing exactly what were the factors making newcomers discover uboachan. Lainchan sounds very plausible, although I have my doubts about tumblr; most of the site that knows about us despises and spreads bullshit about us being some sort of "bully site".

>Maybe some random dudebro from YT made a video about Yume Nikki that got decent views or something and people looked YN up and reached this place.

I proposed tumblr because i really don't have ANY idea how people are finding this site aside from lainchan.
Some people even found Yume Nikki and by proxy ubuu by TVTropes.

Maybe 8chan or something else? I don't really have anything to confirm it, but for example, that /r/place thread where a guy screenshot'd Mado, mostly everyone was just bitching about reddit or "leddit" which implies they come from some *chan sites. I don't really recall having anything against Reddit, the Yume Nikki subreddit is kinda nice for lurking, albeit deader than ubuu.

Most mega-oldfags that witnessed the 2kki & .flow hypetrains should be in their late 20's - mid 30's by now, and as we know passions with hobbies dies/burns out, so they're all mostly gone.

It's sad that /hikki/ is the center of attention. There are other non-YN (most newcomers to /n/ haven't played YN) boards with interesting content such as /lit/ & /og/ that are dead as well.
/ot/ is still a wild card, but the shitposty-esque discussion has been getting bigger.

I found uboachan through tumblr some ~3-4 years ago. Someone mentioned it while talking about a .flow update that had just been released, and I don't recall any negativity surrounding it. If there was any, I guess I wasn't involved enough in the community to fin it.
No idea what's going on now, I haven't seen uboachan mentioned anywhere on the site.

I never get tired of posting this picture. It's from a survey someone made some years ago in tumblr about the community. Many… "central" figures (meaning: Most active) contributed with their two cents, resulting in what you see.

Long story short, when Middens was posted there was drama. Legit arguments, and trolls. Later, when flux was posted, there was drama. Everybody was mad because there wasn't any material at all despite the author claiming she was being active. Again, legit arguments, and trolls. Later, bleet had the marvelous idea of warning people that uboachan wasn't a good place to post fangames, because "they may be harsh". Tumblr, being the autistic scream-rape-prone piece of shit it is, took it the wrong way and started spreading it like fire about how we were complete shit and the bad guys. Basically because anything that isn't sugarcoated with 40 kg of honey is automatically rape, and no matter how good the critics you give if they don't comply with this, you are obviously a meany and a cunt and a troll who enjoys crushing devs because they don't fit your "standards" (see second pic).

>"semi-hikki" -> that's called "introversion" kid
I'm afraid to inform you that the definition of hikikomori (according to the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) is:
>「仕事や学校に行かず、かつ家族以外の人との交流をほとんどせずに、6か月以上続けて自宅にひきこもっている状態」 時々は買い物などで外出することもあるという場合も「ひきこもり」に含める
"Somebody who doesn't go to school nor work, doesn't interact with people outside the family circle, and hasn't left their home for at least 6 months. Cases such as people under this condition who still leave their home to buy groceries from time to time are also considered 'Hikikomori'".

Correct, no one says "semi-gay", because it's ridiculous, they'd also be "semi-straight", they call themselves "bisexual", for the same reason "semi-hikki" does not exist, you're just introverted.

Maybe you mean "my"? For example, N.E.E.T. is a definition coined by UK's and ever since then everyone has agreed on its meaning and used it the same way UK has been doing since the very start. Because otherwise you'd get things like "semi-neet" being valid because "guess what, I have my right to do whatever i want to it colloquially".
Hikikomori is just a translation of "Social Withdrawal"; you can't be "semi-withdrawal" because that simply doesn't make sense. Why just don't say "asocial" or "introvert" instead of using flashy words?

In hindsight I'm ashamed of my aggressive shitposting.
I personally don't like dealing with the semantics of labels in situations like this because it drives people away from the actual context of the original statement. I just try to take someone saying they are a "semi-hikki" as someone trying to relate their feelings to another persons experience. To me this brings up the question, do people here want to be related to?
I spent over 90% of my year alone in my room so far and even I have difficulty calling myself a hikki but no difficulty calling myself a semi-hikki.

The reason why you do that is because your head has been fucked by the internet. The internet plunged it's genitals straight through your skull and into your brain. It's the same reason why a lot of people on the internet substitute sad for, "feels". Emotional immaturity and stunted development. Maybe you're just too insecure to call yourself a full-blown hikkimori. Not wanting to dip every person on the planet in acid and craving some kind of socializing does not mean that you aren't a hikki. If you really aren't one, then stop being such a weeb and call yourself what you are, a shut-in. Be honest with yourself and stop being so lukewarm.

>he internet plunged it's genitals straight through your skull and into your brain
This is a real problem for many issues in my life I'm sure, I've seen it in others.

also couldn't find a blogpost thread so let me vent for a bit

was in love last year, started a band, everything was going way too smoothly for my standards

now I'm about drop out of uni 2nd year simply because I am too lazy and unmotivated to deal with studying/attending not to say the field is also out of my range of interests

currently the band is the only thing I have going for me until I run out of money next month

only human communication outside band practice I have is talking on Skype with the only guy I would consider a real friend

mental state has been getting progressively worse throughout the past two months, just feel this huge wall in front of me

honestly think I'm just gonna become homeless while playing guitar before offing myself in a few years

bassist is a bragging retard

she doesn't care about me anymore

the only 2 things that actually annoy me, pretty apathetic towards the downward way my life is going otherwise

like I know I can act just fine and have fun with people but uh oh, feel like I've missed opportunity and I'll just close myself from people more, it's extremely difficult to have a meaningful relationship with someone

yea just end me, also sorry if you read this pile of shit, feel free to delete mods

You clearly have some sort of mental affliction. Get help while you still can and candidly talk about it with your parents and anybody who cares. Don't drop out of uni. Switch majors if you have to, but don't let your emotional state get the better of you. What's distracting you most right now? What's preventing you from having enough energy? If it's your laptop, throw it away and use the computer lab/ library as needed.

Just got out from a really bad period of life which lasted for a year. Move out from parents and got a job. A simple one though, a stock associate. Long hours, gruelling work, meagre pay, but honestly, after bumming around for a year, wallowing in my own despair and depression, this job maybe for the best - at least i dont have that much time for a "depressive self-reflection spiral" thing.

The jobs I've had that weren't too bad for that were doing warehouse work (heads up though this is fucking miserable) and medical transportation.

My life is really weird.

On the one hand, I have a decent programmer job, and I there's a couple thas good friends of mine, and allowed me to contact some high up people such as euro-parliamentarians and other influencial people. We are shaking up some things.

Besides those, I spend all my time alone. I had an exgf a few years ago but it went to shit after college. For some reason I don't manage to make any new friends and I don't really care about gfs anymore, so I just kind of live in a void.

I also know way more than I should about meditation, the occult, and other things…

I've had some ridiculous experiences, like chasing a suicidal schizo around a town, along with the police and the taxi company.


All those things may look like my life is fun, but it's actually being alone, browsing niche stuff, meditating and nothing happening until one of these crazy events happen, I'm a magnet for them.

If life were a script, I'd really want to meet the writer, and ask him wtf did he smoke when he wrote mine! Not that I'd complain though, it's not bad, just bizarre. I'm not a NEET, yet normal people feel like aliens to me. The feeling is probably mutual.

I'm lucky because in my country you can do courses to get some money. I would like to buy a house in the future but I am not responsable enough to live alone!

I feel the same as when I turned 19 but I think turning 24 will be the real thing. I know all the normalfags will be married with children around that age

Well, for me things are looking neither particularly bleak nor bright.
I have one irl NEET friend who I can hang around with sometimes, but often he feels really distant. Though we've probably spent a month under the same roof together just this year

27 reporting in, this thread was posted when I was still lurking as an 18 year old, it's kind of sad that I used to be too chronically shy to post even anonymously. Would have been cool to see a time capsule of myself. For my future self's sake though, I think I'll blogpost a bit. Sorry if it comes off as annoying, this thread's neat and I didn't expect uboa to have survived this long. What if it survives for much longer still?
It's funny skimming through the thread, one second you've reached the point you can finally post as haphazardly as you want on any imageboard/site, the next you're basically ancient on the internet. I realize 27 isn't that much still but damn, I used to be the one thinking "omg 20's how oldddd". Things do get better as you get older even if they don't really, and that only makes sense as you develop yourself it turns out. I honestly used to think that thought was just a platitude. I'm learning more about myself every year even if so far nearly 3/4s of my adult life have been eaten up by repeated or long cycles NEETdom. I'm slowly finding my way through things, in and out of society. I can say I feel capable of being more human now, and I've even found a way to start over in a new country (it's not Japan lol) which is a lot for the way I used to be not too long ago. It's going to be so freeing even if I still hate every second that I'm not distracted right now. Real life's not nearly as stressful to interact with as it was when I was 22 and barely starting to do anything, I'm thankful for that. I still wish I had gone to school at all for the experience or something though. Maybe I'll go in my new country once I'm integrated enough and get good enough at the native language.
Maybe I'll also find a way to make a proper life for myself even online still, more social and in a healthier way than I've been before. It almost kind of sucks now being anonymous everywhere I go, it feels like I'm the only person without a proper handle, like I shouldn't exist most of the time; but I'm building up the courage in all facets of myself, and I know one day I'll be able to share what I like to do or my interests and what I make and meet a lot of cool people once I do. I'm excited to see where my life keeps going.

Good luck to you starting 20s. Good luck to you now mid-upper 30s if any of the older anons from back then still check here.
