So here I am, foolish enough to try again. Now with less strict rules, so most people on this board should be able to post, r-right?
Optional questions:
>how much can you tolerate normalfags online and irl?
>what's the first thing you feel when normalfags invade your space?
>what are some red flags that make you want to avoid a normalfag at all costs?

>>79457772
Omg hai! I've been waiting for this thread for ages. I'm glad you decided to try again, it would be a shame for these threads to go away.

>>79457810
>how much can you tolerate normalfags online and irl?
Used to be a fair bit, these days I get tired of them quickly.
>what's the first thing you feel when normalfags invade your space?
Upset and frustrated I guess, and then exhausted.
>what are some red flags that make you want to avoid a normalfag at all costs?
A lot of things, probably. What comes to mind first is when they gossip or talk badly about someone behind their back. I know they're going to do the same thing to me so I'd rather avoid interacting with them at all.

Hey anon! Sorry about that... I've been feeling increasingly reluctant to bake or even use r9k at all. Don't let that stop you from baking your own /rg/ though, I shouldn't be the only OP.

Do you feel that way towards normalfags online too? I don't really mind normalfags irl, it's their natural environment after all, but online it's a different story depending on where I encounter them. Seeing them use this board upsets me because they could go literally anywhere on the internet and yet they choose to come here.
>when they gossip or talk badly about someone behind their back
They'll do that whether you interact with them or not...

I'm actually kinda happy with my life. I just need to find full time work and actually get my driver's license.
I get enough socialization from talking with my coworkers and my brother's friends. I don't really hang out with people, but that's probably because of my poverty mindset.
On virginity, I don't really care about losing mine. Sex is dangerous and expensive. I don't really have a good reason to seek it out when porn is so good.

Understandable, feels like this board is even more dead than before somehow. You used to be able to find okay threads if you sifted through the garbage, but now it's just garbage and that's it.

>Don't let that stop you from baking your own /rg/ though, I shouldn't be the only OP.
I did think about that but it doesn't feel right to make a thread and then not reply to anyone (and I probably wouldn't feel like doing that, so...)

>Do you feel that way towards normalfags online too?
Yeah, I was mostly thinking of online when answering that question since it's not like I've had any interactions with normalfags or otherwise IRL in the past 10 years.

Hello Sagiri anon! How have you been?
I have the same attitude towards normalfags. I think some can be alright, and I've had multiple chances to be friends with them, it's just that I quickly lose interest and confidence because I know I could never keep up with them.

You don't have to do that, generals aren't supposed to be like that, at least outside of /r9k/...

It's been a while for me as well since I've had any meaningful interactions with normalfags irl. I wish I could be more tolerant though, it's really tiresome to be around them.

1. Decently well for the most part. I don't see them or interact with them often. I mostly draw, watch anime, or play fighting games.
2. Anger, Annoyance, and Disappointment. Ever since Covid, Normies have invaded alt Spaces and essentially gentrifying them. Like Nu-Anime Fans complaining about Lolis and Fanservice. For example, the most recent installment of my main fighting game was niche/small before it retconned/redesigned multiple characters and altered the gameplay. Now it's filled with Normies and Unfunny Troons.
3. Boring NPC Behavior. Having Netflix as a hobby. Listening to Imagine Dragons and other Radio Slop. These people lack flavor. Even Vanilla is a flavor. These type of people lack any.

>>79460599
>Do you think normalfags tend to be more dangerous and exploitative?
I've never really thought about that. Most mental illnesses tend to make you vulnerable rather then more dangerous, so normal people are likely more dangerous. It really depends on what you mean by normal too.
Either way, I know there are people out there that want to abuse me. It would be better to be cautious.

Yeah, I suppose there are the take it easy threads, which have nice discussions sometimes. Other than that there are occasionally some not-awful but also not-interesting-enough-to-click threads. Hmm.. maybe it's not that the board got worse, maybe I just became even more depressed and apathetic.

>You don't have to do that, generals aren't supposed to be like that, at least outside of /r9k/...
That's true, but I think that mostly applies to established generals. When you're just starting out with one you kind of have to invest in it by promoting discussion with the hope that it will eventually be able to survive on its own. Or so I imagine.

>>79461638
No, it's actually better being a man. Many men's desires to switch teams to being a woman (including trannies) is because of the perception that they have an easier time, but it's honestly not the case. You're thinking of the hot ones, but hot guys are even more desirable compared to hot women and get way more benefits, the downsides of being a woman are also massive. Being a man may be a harder start but it gains value over time with no upper limit instead of being born with a fixed value that is constantly decaying.

tl;dr you would still be a loser as a woman

>>79457810
>how much can you tolerate normalfags online and irl?
I have no problem tolerating them as long as they stay in their spaces or accept the culture of the spaces they enter.
>what's the first thing you feel when normalfags invade your space?
Depends on what you mean by "my" space and what you mean by "invade", my reaction may be either: indifference, caution, annoyance or a combination of them.

Some progressives take pride in how open minded they are but are absolutely intolerant of any conservative idea. I would say i am pretty open minded in comparison as there isn't a single idea that i have completely discarded, even if i only keep some of them in the very back of my mind.

>Mum getting sick of me not working, says I can't stay here
always thought I'd anhero over being homeless in this situation but for some reason I feel an aversion to dying. This is strange because I made a genuine attempt a while ago when I was in an objectively better situation.

>>79457810
>how much can you tolerate normalfags online and irl?
>what are some red flags that make you want to avoid a normalfag at all costs?
I hate them. They enjoy sadism/bullying/putting-down people and groups in general. Therefore they will jump at a socially acceptable chance to do so, (since they're goyim conformist pussies); which often involves picking on the "creepy"/"weird" (different/better). The reason they are less actively venomous and cruel as they get older, the reason why children seem more narcisstic and psychopathic; is simply cos it benefits the normal to be more social/"moral" as they get older- they can always excuse their past behaviour as immaturity. They aren't moral ofc, they get their morals from others and simply choose the most beneficial action, justifying it as moral after the fact. And even in adulthood, their nature always remains; they experience something positive when causing other(s) to experience something negative. So they will always jump at that chance to torment spergs/neuroatypicals. We're set up to fail from the start, and this makes the wagecuckolding normalniggers feel better about their empty and torturous existence.

It seems you'll have to find a job soon as well... Being homeless really sucks. Let's try not to make an hero'ing the only option.
>How are your diets?
I try to keep mine varied with vegetables, meat, fish, etc. Mostly homemade food, sometimes frozen food. It involves some cooking, my mom has been teaching me a little.

Normalfags work together like cattle, so everything they do is for conformity and validation. It's something I really can't stand either, especially when their actions turn out to be hypocritical.

Also, what stuff do you draw?

Partially. They retconned a popular femboy character (who legit revived the shota scene in the early 2000s and inspired the legendary Boku No Pico) into a Trans Woman. Another character was said to NB, but that situation was always ambiguous and actually does check out lore wise. The biggest problem with the newest installment is the neutered gameplay. At least I always have BB and Melty.

I mostly draw furries. Started of as a Sonicfag, and eventually got a PC and Tablet. Good enough to get occasional commissions. No, I won't post my work or a link.

the game is heavily marketed towards american audiences, im not sure if the character is even trans in the japanese version, the game feels very slow though and it's not very fun anyway

if your vpn disconnects your isp will get mad and if they get mad 7 times theyll terminate your internet forever
so you just bind the torrent thing to your vpn or whatever so that it only works through the vpn

> I keep hitting snooze on my alarm
Huh, you use an alarm? Why not just sleep in since you have no job to worry about? I find sleeping 5 hours and waking up naturally can often be more restful than 8-9 hours and waking up to an alarm, since it will often wake you in the middle of a sleep cycle.

>>79469308
>Do you not post often?
First post in months. I can count the times I've actually posted something on my fingers.
>What kind of unusual perspectives do you have?
A core one is that the continuity of the self is an illusion.
Another one is that, assuming a continuous self, it is not bound to time and space, which means, depending on physics, a new matching continuation of the self will always exist.

I now realized what I should have said is beliefs instead of perspectives. Anyway, I'll list a few more.

Humans by nature chase more.
It is impossible to know anything for certain.
Anything being true or false depends on the framework. (Same concept applies to good or bad)
Physiological age can be disconnected from chronological age.
Causality is a simplification and possibly an illusion.
There is no inherent value to something being real outside of pragmatic considerations.

>>79471359
>If you wanted to draw you'd be doing it. Have you tried forcing yourself for a bit? That should help you decide if it's for you.
ive tried copying some stuff and i enjoy it but its very exhausting, i had to sleep afterwards because it took so much energy out of me, it is definitely very satisfying though in a way not much else is

>>79472107
Maybe you should try highlighting instead of filtering if you're using 4chanX. I found that to be kinda annoying too though so I stopped using it.

Well I usually do wake up before my alarm unless I stay up too late, then I grab my phone and keep it close to me so I can hit snooze while I nap for a little longer. Are you sure 5 hours is enough for you? I need at least 7 to not feel like a zombie...

>>79476643
>Become a wagie for life
Do you think you can do it?
I can barely see myself continue waging for 5 more years, let alone start waging at 40 when I've done nothing but eat and sleep before.

It keeps a lot of energy to keep myself from becoming a neet. The only motivator is fear of never being able to hold a job if I experience the freedom neetdom brings

I see, in that case it's not bad. 5 hours definitely isn't enough for me, even 8 isn't, I think I'm one of the unlucky people that needs 9 at least, but I slept about 5.5 hours last night and I feel better right now than I did yesterday when I slept 8.5 hours, because yesterday I was woken by my alarm and today I woke up before it.

You can safely ignore 90% of the options in 4chanX since the default ones are already optimal

We need alarms that don't wake you up during deep sleep... I wonder if anyone has made one yet

>>79478939
>the default ones are already optimal
That jogged my memory actually, I think the issue was that some default option messed something up or changed something in a way that I didn't like and I couldn't figure out how to get it back to the way it was because there's so many options

>We need alarms that don't wake you up during deep sleep...
I've been thinking about buying one of those timers that plug into an outlet and can turn on a light at whatever time you program them to. That seems like it would basically simulate a sunrise and might work as a sort of soft alarm.

>>79478939
>How often do you ponder your sense of self?
Mostly just when I have a reason to. It can be quite helpful. Both perspectives of the self help a lot to deal with the concept of death. I think they complement each other extremely well. Struggling with existential dread is probably what got me to think of these ideas to begin with. Or at the very least to remember them. I just now recalled some really closely related thought experiments that lead me in that direction.

I didn't appreciate that anon :c

>>79480628
>How does it help you cope with the dread?
I don't get it anymore. Sure, there are probably other factors that also changed, but I haven't been overwhelmed by feelings of meaninglessness ever since integrating these beliefs.
I'm pretty sure they played a big role.
That was when I was around 15 years old (turned 21 yesterday), so it's probably holding up pretty well.
I used to feel a certain amount of existential dread thinking about some ideas. That doesn't happen anymore.
>What thought experiments did you have in mind?
Could you tell if you were placed into existence right this moment?
Is your past self alive?
>>79481406
That's a good perspective. More or less the typical atheist view. I think it's just somewhat hard to integrate. It never happened within your lifetime. I'm also pretty sure easy acceptance of this can be a sign of passive suicidality. (Aka, if you could choose to cease experiencing starting tomorrow, you would pick that)

>>79481448
>>79481549
lmao

>>79481567
>over-easy acceptance
yeah I am definitely ok with this due to a lack of care about my life. I've realised over time that I feel most content in a state closest to not existing. Therefore the idea of ceasing to exist makes me feel relieved. I suppose it's no different than a godfag's belief in heaven in that sense

Maybe, but I don't think it would matter since we experience the flow of time in one direction.
I still don't get how you got over the existential dread, but it's a nice thing, I wish I could do it too. Also, happy birthday!

i guess i like dreaming, my dreams are always full of many things to do, i played a strange game of chess where you could move beyond the board, and maybe other things happened as well, they are always so vivid its like im experiencing the life ill never have, which is partially the reason id like to draw i guess

I have a cheap smart lightbulb and a cheap lamp that I clipped on my headboard similar to picrel. I had it programmed to turn on and shine in my face for a while. They do work, but you'll wake up in a range so they're not great for wagies unless they'll be happy waking up a couple of hours before work with an alarm as a backstop. Great for neets who want to wake up around a certain time without being startled.

>There is nothing we can tell outside of our conscious experience
Yeah, that's a statement. I assume you've been aware of that for a while?
That's basically the elementary concept I'm working with here.
>I still don't get how you got over the existential dread
Makes sense. It's more effort than just thinking about two questions.
Also, the second one was a bad choice. "Does your past self exist right now?" Might have been a better one.
No crazy metaphysics needed for this thinking. This is based purely on perception. It's about feeling about what happens to the self of the past and the future.

Before I explain my experience, I want to mention that it was probably important for me to form my own ideas.
That's because it means that they have a solid foundation in my neural network.
So, if you want just ignore the following rambling.

This is how I look at these things:
You can only experience what you're experiencing right now. If you look at what the "self" stands for, it is only that.
I've interpreted the statement you made as meaning that each consciousness is bound to the self. You can basically see yourself as a random sample from a pool of consciousnesses. (limitations apply)
You're that and nothing else.
At some point I thought about death and imagined what I would do if heaven was real and could do anything I want.
I imagined basically playing games like Minecraft forever. But when I was thinking about skipping forward to that point in time, I had to tell myself to ignore that I actually wouldn't want to do these things at the age I imagined myself dying.
When I discovered the concept I'm writing about, I thought back about that time and realized I had noticed, that I had already died.

I am on a severe mental decline.
Im revisiting old animes and tv shows I used to watch.

Porn, video games, or jacking off does nothing for me.

The one we are playing rn has statues we respawn at and keep inventory seems to be on as well.

I'm currently rocking a dodge/speed set while my friend is a slow tank that hits like a truck.

>>79484246
Your thought process requires to have different beliefs, that's why I can't really follow it, for example:
>pool of consciousnesses
I see consciousness as a (bad) consequence of evolution, not as something that already exists. You could arrive to the conclusion that consciousness is an illusion, or maybe a manifestation of the universe's intent to understand itself. But like you said earlier, nothing can be known for certain, and for me that alone is enough to give me dread, because things could be way worse than they appear to be.

Ahhh I've miss my DS so much too, pretty sure mine was stolen. Just flippin disappeared.. what happened to yours, broken?
I deff recommend pokemon renegade platinum, there's a patch that makes it so.you have following pokemon in platinum like hgss, it's easy to patch and the pokemon fit in seemlessly~
For GBA tho there's a bunch of winners like pokemon unbound, Gaia, radical red, and pokemon glazed, glazed kinda bored me to death tho eventually

Just because all of the added qol improvements, like reusable tms, reduced need for hms so don't need hm slaves, and they have ev/iv trainers so you don't need to.spend forever grinding! But don't really need to grind all that much the games aren't too too hard. Plus platinum has an amazing soundtrack i love it

>Your thought process requires to have different beliefs
I see beliefs like tools. Although there's always some "dominant" beliefs you naturally gravitate towards, those can change, and you can learn to switch depending on what you need.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating for trying to think something you know can't be true. It seems to me that there is a lot of room of choice within what we think to be sure about. Especially because humans think in abstractions, schemas, which can be chosen differently and still match the underlying systems.
>I see consciousness as a (bad) consequence of evolution, not as something that already exists.
As for the pool of consciousness, that was a bit of a tangent. It's a way to view consciousness, whether it comes from evolution or elsewhere. It's not really part of my strategy to eliminate existential dread.
>You could arrive to the conclusion that consciousness is an illusion, or maybe a manifestation of the universe's intent to understand itself.
Consciousness precedes illusion. From what I can tell.
>nothing can be known for certain, and for me that alone is enough to give me dread, because things could be way worse than they appear to be.
My intuitive response to that is that the chances equal out.
You mentioned:
>maybe your lifestyle needs some improvement
I think, as with so many things, I'm just telling you things you already know, but the bidirectional influence between lifestyle and depression applies to thoughts and feelings.
Thoughts only gain emotional relevance through association.
Tying existential thought to positive emotions and accomplishment is probably a big part of the equasion.

>double screen can only work well on somany displays
There are some pretty cool shaders that try to simulate different kinds of displays. I was messing around with a mega bezel ds preset (picrel), I think it looks pretty legit. The downside is that for this one you need a 4k display to have the lcd grid be properly laid out, and for some reason it's also raping my gpu...

I don't know if I patched it properly but I got a Renegade Platinum rom ready, might play it sometime.
>>79488369
Your imouto's maybe?
>>79489284
In a way it's nice that anyone can come up with their own beliefs or choose to follow existing ones, and still nobody would know who's on the right path because it's impossible to know the truth. Maybe your thought process is more accurate, maybe it's fundamentally the same as mine, but in the end it doesn't really matter. What matters is that you can convince yourself that the life death cycle isn't a horrifying nightmare, so you can have peace of mind and stop thinking about what happens once your brain is gone, making life overall more enjoyable for yourself.
>Tying existential thought to positive emotions and accomplishment is probably a big part of the equasion
Not sure I follow you here, I was just speaking from experience since I've been in situations where I had absolutely no motivation to do anything, but my overall mood was indirectly affected by some lifestyle changes and it gradually got better.

>>79486562

Your mindset should be "I'm in no condition to do anything until I recover", then you focus on your recovery phase starting from very basic things, like brushing your teeth.

that's actually a characteristic of a normal fag.

35 years of virginity and solitude have not made me into a nice person. I'm surrounded by people I have nothing in common with. I am so encased in fakeness that my inner self does not truly emerge until hours after I get home from work, after drinking whiskey. All the bile and rage I am forced to contain seeps out, and you guys have to deal with it. I'm sorry for that. Not really, but I should be.

The people who deserve it are the people I'm forced to be nice to. I feel like my life is a count down to my inevitable shooting spree. The only miracle is that it didn't happen 10 years ago.

>Not sure I follow you here, I was just speaking from experience since I've been in situations where I had absolutely no motivation to do anything, but my overall mood was indirectly affected by some lifestyle changes and it gradually got better.
I'll expand on what I wrote - will probably repeat a little.
Lifestyle and depression influence each other in both directions, right? It's the same with thoughts and feelings. Probably even more so.
When you're feeling bad, usually a lot of bad thoughts come with that. But just from thinking positive thoughts, these feelings won't go away that easily.
The same applies to positive feelings. If you're feeling good, you're more likely to think positive thoughts.
And when you're feeling one type of way, thoughts in the other direction carry less weight. You'll still feel around the same, maybe slightly better or worse.
Note that the same thought can be perceived as positive or negative. Thoughts carry emotion by association.
e.g.: "I'm leaving Rome" was it good there -> sadness; was it bad -> relief
To me, it seems existential dread always involves both thoughts and emotions spiraling out of control together.
This means that by gradually breaking down and working on existential thoughts in a state of well-being, you can break the cycle.

I didn't get a job until I was 27. This is because I spent my early 20s having to learn how to socialize the way normalgs did while they were in kindergarten. My public school years were a veritable hell of being bullied and ostracized by teachers and students alike. Because I foolishly believed that horseshit about "just be yourself!" like it applied to people like me.

The only reason I succeeded in learning to imitate normalfags is becasue I have a supportive mother. It made me realize also that my previous assumption that friends and family were burdens, was wrong. They are your support for when you have nothing else. Without my mother's continued support I would have been homeless and probably dead by now. I realized I had to strengthen those few bonds I still had, not neglect them. Even though I HATE socializing. I never know what to say, I always just end up in a corner of the room with nothing to do because I don't have anything in common with these normalfags and nothing they say is interesting to me. But I still go to those family dinners and friend meet ups because it maintains the bonds that support me.

Literally the only reason I have a job, own a car, am financially stable is because I worked on maintaining those bonds against all my natural inclination to become a shut-in who never sees anyone.

>what's the latest games it can handle
It can still handle most modern stuff if I play at 1080p 30fps. Your gpu can handle Switch emulation for sure, unless your cpu is bad. Have you tried using the latest Ryujinx build before they took it down? You can still find it if you look it up.

I think it depends on what earplugs you use. Some are made specifically for sleeping and don't make you sweat. If you wake up with sweaty ears then it's not good.

Why not just use old stuff on your modern computer? Old computers are comfy though, especially if you still have a CRT.

If you already have an xbox controller it's probably not worth getting a ps controller, I prefer it because I find the d-pad more comfortable. If I had to buy a new controller for retro gaming I'd go with an 8bitdo though.

It's not as bad as I was expecting, comfy even.

What's the benefit of having asymmetrical analog stick placement? One I can think of is that the d-pad is less used in modern games, so it makes sense to swap it with the analog.
>got any DS playthroughs going yet?
Not really, I spent a whole day tweaking my CRT shader (again) so that it smoothly blends dithered patterns like old TVs used to do... Picrel has been giving me some trouble.
Maybe amd cards will be somewhat affordable on black friday, I'm waiting to see.

Oh I see, it was the opposite for me, grew up with ps1 and ps2, never owned an Xbox. The original controller looked so chunky, I'd like to own one.
>crt shader is a vibe tho
It really is, and if you care about accuracy there are shaders that can simulate analog signals to make the image more (less) accurate since some old games took advantage of that. The waterfall in the first Sonic game is a popular example, without shaders it looks really ugly.

Modern consoles suck imo, and you're better off just emulating old ones unless you already have them. You can still get a decent retro gaming setup with modern tech without sacrificing too much. CRTs can still be found, maybe not new but there are a lot of people who are selling their old ones.

I'd say not yet because games have stayed the same ever since. The ps3/360 era was when everything started to go downhill, with big companies only focusing on getting closer to realism while gameplay hasn't seen any innovation in decades.

Ya hardly saw any innovation i suppose. I agree completely that gameplay has barely evolved since that time. Jeez they can't hardly even improve the graphic realism anyways. Most games I see have a hard time looking as nice as RDR2 even tho they're 'new' i know a lot of work went into rdr2 but still.. ugh. How would you go about changing up and innovating the same gameplay loops we have now? Open world crime sim, first person military shooters and blahblah.

You have to look at indie devs and smaller studios for innovation, they're the ones who carry the gaming industry. Most AAA stuff that gets released nowadays is just money-milking slop and the exceptions keep getting rarer. And I mean, it's not that we need constant innovation, but maybe they could stop being greedy pussies and try to bring back what used to be fun instead of using the same formula ad infinitum because "it's what everyone does so it must mean better sales".

Have no real issue speaking my mind bluntly but I very often see it as pointless because the world keeps spinning regardless of what I do.

My schedule:
>Wake at 6am to get to work
>Work from 7:30 to 3:00
>Fuck around until 3:30 because they get anal if I leave early despite finishing my work (I have argued this often and despite my manager agreeing he says office politics tie his hands)
>Get home by 4:30
>Vidya until midnight
>Repeat

That's it. On weekends its just vidya all day/some monthly meetups with friends. Which I don't dislike, they're good lads. I gave up with the gym because I don't see a future worth fighting for. Might change my tume with societal collapse, I think that would genuinely be fun and filled with adrenaline.

Modern life is just super fucking pointless. Its all peacocking for nothing. Nothing matters when you cannot have total control over an area around you (ie; governmental influence and the long arm of the law getting in your way if you beat the shit out of a smarmy fuck who thrives on the fact that he is protected like a pussy)

Anyone else feel similar? No doubt someone gets it.

Anon, I don't have the IQ or zeal for anything STEM related. I was thinking of getting into trade school and working with cars though?

i feel like it's not that stem stuff is super difficult but that everyone kind of expects you to be autistic and devote yourself completely to everythin related to stem
to even get a job im pretty sure you have to memorize like hundreds of pop quiz job interview problems or something even if it's not relevant to your job whatsoever
i dont think i have the brains for much in life, i like creative stuff even if im too depressed to do any of it but that's not really a thing you can do, and if i tried id just end up homeless with no success or anything or work a dead end soulless job and have anything imaginative or creative in me squeezed out and replaced with dull unfeeling nothingness, but no one really cares about that since it's somehow morally right to wage away at some dead end job that doesn't pay the bills according to most normalfags
itd be nice to be on disability but in truth i dont think im autistic or anything in the slightest, if i was id probably be more into CS
in an ideal world i think itd be good for someone like me to cook, clean, fix and make clothes, garden a bit, and raise children but that's impossible in this day and age and it'd be impossible for me at any point in history as well

What do you usually play at home? I haven't played AAA slop in a while, except maybe the SH2 remake but I don't know if that even counts. Most of the time I'm playing games from smaller studios or retro stuff. Recently finished Crow Country (the retro style horror game), it was pretty neat. Two other similar games I can recommend if you haven't played them are Signalis and Tormented Souls, the latter being pretty much a RE clone.

it definitely counts, that game is supposed to be like 8 hours and they padded it out with random shit to like 40 hours and slapped a $70 price tag on it
nothing they added adds to the story in a meaningful way at all
they completely misunderstood the art direction that made the original silent hill one of the best games of all time, butchered the voice acting, gave it a shitty over the shoulder resident evil style camera, made james into leon even though he's supposed to be an average guy, ruined angela's look by making her look and talk like a random 19 year old instead of a broken lifelong abuse victim, etc
i could go on but you get the point, i really hate the remake of silent hill 2, it's probably the remake i hate most out of any of them

Life wasn't pointless when we were struggling to live until 30. I know it sounds insane, that is the curse of a living organism. If you are not fighting tooth and nail to survive, you get what we have now - no purpose and suicidal idealations, because we have food and shelter freely available. Even as a bum. Or else they would be out in the woods spearing squirrels. I'm not bored of games particularly either, my main issue is the lack of meaning in anything. Games are entetainment and time sinks, they do their part well.

I feel lonely, but don't want to talk to anyone... I wish I just had someone whom I could cuddle with and cry into their chest...

Oh I agree, it's your average demake with contemporary slop and woke propaganda shoved in it. I wouldn't say I hated it, just a few things that really bothered me like Maria's manface and censored outfit, some dialogue changes and a few other things like that, but I appreciated most things about it. The camera change was disappointing but not surprising. Boss fights were more enjoyable, I liked how they made the last boss have multiple phases, and how they added some sections that weren't in the original. The otherworld looks a lot rustier, more like you'd see in other games, which I appreciated too. A lot of the charm was taken away by the exaggerated amount of enemies and the OTS camera. It's so overdone that it isn't even scary anymore.

I'm aware of the 1st worlder's paradox... When you have everything, life gets kinda dull. But I think it's more of an issue with not knowing what to do with your wealth. You could learn new skills, build stuff, take on challenging projects, things you couldn't do without money. Games are a good time sink but that's about it. If it's the only thing you spend your time on it gets dull quickly.

Are you sure you're lonely? Maybe it's just a craving you have

>What do you usually play at home?
Before I went inside I was mostly just building settlements in fallout 4 for hour hours on end, or playing halo multiplayer. I'd pick one teammate per game to betray, could be for any reason I suppose.
>Recently finished Crow Country
Oh ya retro amusement park! How scary was it? I'll scariest can be subjective but jumpscares are usually one trick ponys. Been playing pokemon emerald seaglass which is pretty retro, has gen2 S/G/C vibes c:
>Signalis and Tormented Souls
>all survival horror
Ahhh my favorite genre! Juss peeped them both real quick, adding to the neet list~
>SH2
Oh and how'd you like that one? Still need to play 1-4 in order, prolly gunna skip the remake till I'm caught up but was wondering

>Are you sure you're lonely? Maybe it's just a craving you have
A craving? I don't really know what you mean by that. I suppose it's not just loneliness though, the loneliness comes from not having anyone to share my anxieties and worries with.

Oh nvm SH2 question answered lmao

>Is masturbating not enough for you?
It is so much not enough for me that I basically stopped doing it entirely. I even entirely lost interest in watching porn, all it does is remind me that I will never get the real thing and make me suicidal

>>79515605
>with contemporary slop and woke propaganda shoved in it
is it really? just seems like they got a different actor for maria since im pretty sure they model the character after the actor
i kind of dont like the overworld looking rustier, since it's supposed to be like super personal to the character and james is supposed to have this really diseased, falling apart and empty sort of town whereas angela's is on fire and burning all the time to reflect their mental states
i think in sh2 they pretty much just did something almost completely different from the 1st game and linking them together is just silly, there's no cult or anything
a silent hill 2 remake couldve been amazing if they'd been allowed the same freedom they were when they were making the 2nd game, but its fucking bloober team so even if you told them to do whatever they wanted theyd only be able to spit out references to other games and horror media

you probably arent going to have much success if you're that obsessed with it

I'm not a virgin but I am also not dating.
Can I still pay the toll with lolis?

>you probably arent going to have much success if you're that obsessed with it
Being "obsessed" with it isn't doing shit. I have never gotten any sort of female attention in my entire life (except for one foid who was just playing games to get attention and wasn't actually interested), instead all I've met is harassment and being made fun of over my looks

do you really look that bad? german culture isnt really like american stuff idk

Jobmaxxers completely vacant from these threads. All I have is the 30+ generals

>>79515944
>do you really look that bad?
Evidently yes, women here aren't nearly as delusional as American foids (not yet, give it 1-2 maybe 3 more years) but that doesn't change the fact that human biology / attraction still does its thing. Even my own friends who I've asked for honest thoughts said I'm like a 3 at best.

>>79516030
ah, i see
i cant really relate even though im also kind of unsexable, i guess ive just accepted it and dont really care anymore

Fallout is nice, but I didn't really enjoy 4 for some reason. 3 and New Vegas were better for me. Which one is your favorite?
>How scary was it?
I'm not sure since I rarely find horror games scary, and there weren't many jumpscares, if not any. It's more like a RE game where you enter a room and find monsters in it.
>pokemon emerald seaglass
It has a pretty nice color palette, did they redo all the graphics? Every single pokemon?
>Oh and how'd you like that one?
Yeah like I posted above I didn't dislike it. I wouldn't buy it at full price though, they don't deserve it.

A craving for physical touch, since you made it sound like it was the only thing you needed. How are you gonna find someone if you don't talk to people?
>>79515828
Doesn't abstaining make you more frustrated? Maybe you should do it to things that don't remind you of real sex...
>>79515866
They had no concrete reason to make Maria so much uglier, it was confirmed from the start that they had to deal with DEI guidelines.
You're right about the world, I suppose. Every SH game has its own unique atmosphere, while the remake felt more like playing Homocoming than SH2 sometimes. Still, I wasn't expecting so much from nu-Konami since they've been sucking dick for 2 decades, so this remake was pretty good all things considered.
