Who is the guy who makes imageboards, shills them heavily on other imageboards, and then shuts them down after less than a week? Desuchannel.site and iwakurachan.website were two of his sites that he heavily spammed on other imageboards before shutting the sites down almost immediately. I honestly think that it's some kind of prank.

I just saw a post on here promoting a new imageboard called neets.moe, so I'm wondering if that site was made by the same guy (in which case, he will shut it down in less than a week like he always does).

Unfortunately, most imageboards are dead as fuck except for the most toxic ones, i.e. 4chan, 4chan's retarded little brother Soyjak Party, and 4chan's German relative Kohlchan.

I love this site, but the total number of posts made here per day is almost always in the low single digits. And this site is actually far *more* active than many altchans, which often go several days with no new posts.

it's funny, when i first made this thread i included a lot of stuff, some of which i don't even want now.
For instance, the steam deck now that i have a couple ThinkPads from both IBM to the IBM Lenovo transition era I'd rather use those instead.
don't want VR only, more video games or a better GPU.
And, i didn't include mini-pcs, of which i have 1 and have ordered another for a server i am crafting, only to realize im gonna need 1 or 2 more.
now im trying to figure out how i can put a GPU in this thing.

Ex-NEET/Hiki general thread, how long has it been since you got out of it? What are you working on right now? Do you feel like going back to that life sometimes?

I got a job and started going outside 6 years ago, after 2 years of being isolated completely, sometimes I feel tempted of just staying at home playing videogames all day, or to stay in bed doing absolutely nothing, I am still depressed, recently something bad happened, and I felt the need of going back to those habits, close my social media and be a full time anon again.

An important part of my recovery was the people around me, and volunteering at hospitals and hostels for the bed, working still feels kind of weird though.

Now I work as a programmer and web designer, not the best job for someone like me, but it's what I learned to do.

It's hard, but like an anon told me here, if I got out of that mentality once, I can do it again, and so can you.

wake up!! we are about to enter tribulation and the Christian church has completely mislead you, you need to repent so God doesn't pour his wrath out on you
we are required to keep the Sabbath (Isaiah 56, acts 13:42-44)
and to abstain from pork shrimp shellfish (Isaiah 66, acts 15)
Paul specified in Galatians 3:19 that sacrificial law ended meaning we are still bound by the holy covenants
we still have to keep the ten commandments Matthew 5:19
in Ephesians 2:12-13 it says we are grafted into Israel meaning the prophecy and covenants given to Israel still apply to us
and Isaiah 11:11-13 says that you are apart of the lost sheep of Israel
christmas easter halloween are unbiblical idolatry, christ wasn't even born in December and these celebrations come from paganism such as yule, saturnalia and ishtar
The trinity is an unbiblical idolatrous doctrine (numbers 23:19, mark 10:18, Matthew 26:39)

Princess Peach was sitting in front of her vanity brushing her gloriously golden hair. No matter how hard she tried or how many times she tried it, she can't seem to get those curls down. However, everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom thought she was beautiful nonetheless.

As she put her hairbrush down, she rested her head on her arms and began contemplating her life so far. Everyone saw her as a perfect (despite how many kidnappings she was subject to), beautiful, and kindhearted princess who was sweet to everyone she met, but deep down, she was just like any other woman; constantly facing turmoil over what she wants in life. All the work she had to go through to keep the Kingdom maintained was exhausting; from the different living situations of her citizens to what should be built and where. On top of that, she knew she would have to get married someday to keep her lineage alive for generations to come. Of course there's only one man this princess would choose to be her spouse, but the question is: does he feel the same way?

Peach picks up a picture from on top of her dresser. This picture was of Peach herself as a baby, being held in her father's arms. She then looks up at a tall mirror on the wall in front of her. The princess was in slight disbelief that the gorgeous woman she was staring at was the same as the adorable baby in the picture.

She puts her hand to her one of her breasts and mutters to herself, "Girls really do grow, don't they?" Peach suddenly gets an idea. She goes over to her desk, grabs a piece of paper, and begins writing…

The next day, Mario was in Peach's Castle, making his way up to the princess' bedroom. Earlier that day, he had received a letter from her asking for his presence. Once he arrives at the bedroom, he knocks on the door.

Peach opens the door and says cheerfully, "Mario, thanks for coming!"

"Sure thing," Mario replied as he entered the princess' bedroom. "So what did you need to see me for?"

"There's just a few things I wanted to get off my chest and I wasn't sure who else to turn to," Peach replied, closing the door behind her. "I'll just get straight to the point. Be honest with me: how do exactly you see me?"

I graduated high school in 2018 and almost immediately became a neet since I didn't really have any plan or goals after high school, only taking a temporary break in the first half of 2021 to study a field I have no interest in but both my parents really insisted I should pursue it. We're not rich and they spent a lot of money, but I never ended up succeeding due to flimsy medical reasons, and thus continued being a neet for the next couple of years.

Just started my very first day at college studying a degree I have no interest in but only pursued because of the ease of landing a job; since I'm a neet with no work experience or skills, even landing a part time job at the shittiest of places is nigh impossible. I haven't really spoken to my high school friends since graduating and almost every single one of them is successful; two even graduated from the same college I'm currently attending (one graduating in 2021 and the other in 2024). It's pretty lonely here since everybody else seems to already have established friend groups, and I hate how all my classes are in the late afternoon.

Seeing the absurd costs for just one year at college is making me think twice about enrolling here due to the student loans and not wanting to financially burden my parents any further. But I know if I quit, then there really isn't future for me other than the rope, so it seems like I'll continue to study at college. The problem is whether I'd be able to successfully study or not, considering that the obscene amounts of studying (about 14 hours per day) that I did during my small break from neetdom I had in 2021 made me constantly day dream about doing a murder-suicide (though not seriously). Fingers crossed I'll be able to pull through these next three to four years by myself.

Nothing worth doing is easy anon, thaf's what makes being a neet so appealing.
I found the best way to meet new people is clubs (like school clubs) and volunteering.

It's going to feel awkward as hell the first time you do it but truat me when I say it gets easier. A little psychology trick here is that people
A.)Love to talk about themselves
B.)Join clubs for things that interest them
C.)are generally very excited when people want to learn about something they're passionate about.
This gets them talking to you and generally makes them predisposed to liking you.

I'd suggest you keep with school for now, even putting
>some higher education but no degree
On a resume is helpful for some jobs. I'm also sure your parents want you to get in a better spot so for god's sake take the help they're offering.

Appreciate the advice anon. On my second week and I'm already exhausted by it, haha. The carpark's always full so I have to park far away from the campus and all my classes, at the very least, end some time in the afternoon so I've been finding it difficult to find a job since all the part-time ones are either way above my league (eg. being an experienced or educated in a field/skill) or clash with my classes. It's also summer right now where I live so making the trek from campus to my car makes it even more exhausting, so I end up coming home too tired to do any homework or any of the required reading. I'm just glad that the workload isn't as bad as I had it in 2021 (at least not right now…)

I was just really bored some random night in September 2016 and decided to go on tvtropes (don't blame me).
I randomly found Yume Nikki, played it, i thought it was too eerie for me and i felt like it was hurting my head and i dropped it. (probably because i was sick at the time)

I also found .flow via tvtropes soon after, installed it and looking at the main character design, the ruined look of her apartment, i decided that i would try and finish it.

After finishing it last month, i was looking up .flow on the internet and i found this lovely place.

They're all from the same building, so it's probably all one person giving different names. That's interesting that the japanese is sketchy, although I'd put that down to the individual being mad rather than non-native. I used to spell "the" as "th", which sounds like a similar problem to writing は as わ. School taught me how to write better, maybe this person didn't go to school.

Illiteracy is practically non-existent in japan, and I'd honestly be impressed if you are able to write kanji, but then consistently make the same mistake of misusing a particle. This is akin to being unable to use tenses in english. Imagine not understanding how to use "will" or "-ed" — something so ubiquitous that it is practically impossible not to get it right (unless you're not a native of the language).

As I mentioned, the only reasons I find plausible regarding why somebody might use わ instead of は and other broken japanese is that they are trying to go for the effect, or they are not a native. Take "生で私わしてほしいの", for example: this doesn't make any sense in japanse, grammatically. If I had to translate the effect of how broken this feels, then it would go something "Raw do me as want", instead of "I want you to do me raw".

I really would like to know what was the original intention of the people who did this.

A couple days ago, I found an old printed copy, all the way back from middle school, of the login info for some online databases. I thought it'd be funny to see how much info they have on nip stuff. Instead it was sort of depressing, but a bit informative. Newer articles seem to focus entirely on live action remakes or whatever's airing on netflix, older ones from the early 2000s have this air of confusion and disbelief that's painful. The few 90's articles seem the most genuine. Here's some choice quotes. This is how it's perceived by outsiders.
TV Overdose for Kids- 2009
>I still get nostalgic whenever I come across kiddie shows on television.For example, I pine for old good carrot-munching Bugs Bunny and perky Woody Woodpecker. The fast-paced Japanese animated shows called Anime, in my book, are too realistic and mere imitation of violent adult action movies.Some of the casualties of modern animation were characters that my generation grew up with.
>harsh-voice Donald Duck, Tom and Jerry and Mickey Mouse with his merry gang of Minnie Mouse, Pluto and hare-brained Goofy, truly kid stuffs. These wholesome shows of my childhood have now been replaced by Astro Boy, Voltes V, Mazinger Z and other androids battling mechanical monsters out to take over the world.As always, the shows always end up with the hero and the villain trying to annihilate each other in a flurry of lights, colors and grating synthesized sounds. Great for kids, but unfortunately, bad for their education.
>Research shows that exposure to this type of programming increases the risk of aggressive behavior and at the same time, desensitizes children to violence. Studies on links between TV overdose and child development and value formation also reveal that these kinds of shows can muddle children’s understanding of the world and get in the way of their learning what’s right and what’s wrong. All this is according to LimiTV, a United States organization that advocates little-to-no TV viewing for children four-and-under.
>TV can also cause depression in a child who eventually feels like a “loser” if he or she does not get to possess the product being advertised.

Anime vs aid - 2015
>Japan has typically seen Africa as a basket of problems to be solved with aid. It should see it as a big media market.
>Japanese culture is a very serious matter when it comes to this passionate group of South Africans, and although the idea of manga fanboys and fangirls in Africa may seem a little incongruous at first, it shouldn't be a surprise at all.
>Tokyo's dominant perception of Africa can arguably be summed up in the words of Makoto Ito, Japan's ambassador to the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD), Japan's central forum for aid to Africa: "Africa faces challenges such as income disparity, overreliance on natural resource trading, infectious diseases, political instability and recurrent conflicts," he said. "International support is essential to tackle these issues."
>But this manic creativity hasn't always sat well with the Japanese government. Throughout most of the 20th century, the Japanese government viewed its pop culture industry as trivial and embarrassing at best. It was only after the end of the bubble economy in the early 1990s that the government grasped its global popularity. Diplomats then had to catch up with foreign fans that knew much more about Japanese works than they did.
>What followed was an uneasy alliance between Japan's creative industries and its government, with the latter trying to use global fandom as a gateway to public diplomacy. This collaboration came to be known as the Cool Japan campaign

>Pity the poor otaku. Obsessive-compulsive recluses, they are the diehard fans of Japan's world-famous subculture hobbies–anime (animated films), manga (cartoons) and videogames. More comfortable in a virtual world than the real one, they are notorious for their lack of social skills and even less fashion sense. The general rule is that otaku can't get dates.

Facet Analysis of Anime Genres: The Challenges of Defining Genre Information for Popular Cultural Objects.- 2018
>Anime, as a growing form of multimedia, needs a better and more thorough organization for its myriad unique terminologies. Existing studies show patrons' desire to search and get recommendations for anime. However, due to inadequate indexing and often con- fusing or inaccurate usage of terms, searching and acquiring recommendations remain challenging. Our research seeks to close the gap and make discovery and recommendations more viable.

AMAZING ANIME MOVIES
>While many librarians are familiar with Japanese anime adaptations from popular manga series, such as "Naruto," this roundup will focus on stand-alone feature-length films. Whether your library is looking to expand its anime selections or trying to start one from scratch, you'll find the titles below useful.
Half of it is Ghibli. Satoshi Kon only gets Tokyo Godfathers. No mention of Ghost in the Shell and that type. Guess i'm not surprised.
Magic, Shōjo, and Metamorphosis: Magical Girl Anime and the Challenges of Changing Gender Identities in Japanese Society.
>It is argued that the genre developed in close connection to the culture of shōjo (female adolescence) as an antithesis to adulthood, in which women are expected to undertake domestic duties. The paper then incorporates contexts for male-oriented fan culture of shōjo and anime aesthetics that emerged in the 1980s. The recent tendencies for gender bending and genre crossing raise critical questions about the spread of the magical girl trope as cute power. It is concluded that the magical girl genre encompasses contesting values of gender, and thus the genre's empowerment fantasy has developed symbiotically with traditional gender norms in society.

Anime's Brave New World

Anime, mon amour.
>The article focuses on "Forget Pokémon," a Japanese animation that explodes with gay, and lesbian themes. The woman who challenged the heroine for the emperor's affection turns out to be a man. A young hero's attempt to impersonate a princess collapses when her female lover climbs into bed with him. In Japan animated features, television shows, and direct-to-video series include every genre and type of character — including gay men, lesbians, and transvestites. Perhaps the oddest use of gay characters in anime is "yaoi" - romances between young gay men that are created by women for female audiences, especially adolescent girls.

The Role Of Visual Novels as a Narrative Medium
https://openaccess.leidenuniv.nl/bitstream/handle/1887/31703/Thesis%20Dennis%20v3.pdf?sequence=1
>New visual novels are released (almost) daily, but often with more than one release per day (with 23 releases on 12-Sep-2014 alone: four in English, nineteen in Japanese). Three out of all 23 were not classified as\ 18+, and reasons for this include sexual content, an area of visual novels I will not be discussing for
several reasons (such as barely any focus on a story at all, but more on that when I briefly discuss ‘eroge’, ‘erotic games’), and other 18+ games include violence and other graphic themes. For example, the first two games discussed this chapter are both rated 16 by PEGI (‘Pan European Game Information’), an official European organisation concerned with games and age rating. Illustrated by the 23 releases on one day: the genre is big, but this includes all visual novels that are made by amateurs or are otherwise poorly developed.

is anyone else here beginning to develop something to the effect of paranoia and delusions after prolonged social isolation? i've been completely alone for over a year now, and even when i was younger i was a social outcast. lately i've begun to have these episodes where i compulsively worry/catastrophize about things like people stalking me, this weird internet conspiracy where people are stalking me and recording everything i do, something to the truman delusion. on top of this i've begun to notice that objects in my room are telepathically communicating with me; it's not like "hearing voices" as the voices are very obviously in my head in the same space as like an internal monolouge, they aren't "diegetic" really, i can tell that they aren't real and are just hallucinations, but it defintiely isn't normal.

is it possible for loneliness and prolonged social isolation to cause psychotic symptoms? am i losing my mind?

something to note in the case of comorbidity; i am diagnosed with major depressive disorder and my psychiatrist seems to believe and wants to investigate the possibility of borderline personality disorder, which may partially be related to my social isolation and why i'm in this situation in the first place. I apologize if this thread comes off as strange or weird question.

Me too OP. Mental health services told me it's an issue with my life instead.

Some suspect I have bpd, I've been having paranoid delusions and also hallucinations worsening a few months ago. My theory is it may be because of a lack of stimulation. Humans aren't supposed to be alone this long

An old RPG Maker game which has been finally translated in 2014.

rpgmaker.net/games/2727/

It can get difficult at times, so be sure to master the combat system. (Uses a field element effect: Can only use certain spells and abilities when a certain element is active.)

Shift opens up a second menu in battle which includes the Escape battle function.

Game also has a Dictionary and Glossary as well as a Destination marker (In case you forgot where you were in the game or what objective you were doing/have not played in a while)
