being in the snow and taking it easy
>>79965644i seewell i hope they call u up soon so that u can start making sum good moneys!i don't member if I asked uwhat have u done 4 the new years?>>79965832Man I feel like my brain is bwokenhow do u remember all this stuff?
>>79970044What's snow like? I usually hear negative things in relation to it from people.>>79970084Don't worry, it's all dealing with stuff outside of what you're familiar with so it can seem more complicated than it is. People seem to seize up when given unknowns like that.>how do u remember all this stuff?My guess is by forgetting the vast majority of my life B^). I value this data far more, if I'm honest. Childhood memories were never really that pleasant for me.Have a creeping comb jelly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coeloplana_astericolaThey're part of a group of benthic comb jellies, a group that's normally planktonic. They share the proper feeding tentacles of their group but utilize them by throwing them up and out into the current. These guys also like to cling onto starfish of all things.
>>79970044\Is it snowing there currently?
Will we ever find love? If someone asked me out I'd probably reject them because I've been alone for so long that changing that is risky and uncharted territory and I'm also laying in bed, hungover and taking it easy today.
>>79971133Frozen tears doesn't sound too pleasant for most, but I'd love to see it someday.>>79971146It'd depend on the person for me. If I really like them then I wouldn't reject them, I'd be pretty happy. Even if it's a big change and all.An infectious fungus for everyone as a gift while I go to bed. It makes these odd flowers from the relatives of blueberry plants it infects. I figure it forms those pseudoflowers to help distribute the spores thanks to confused bees or flies. They do form spore structures, so it would make sense.
>>79971146I ask the same question every day...>I'm also laying in bed, hungover and taking it easy today.hungover from a nice night out or from a night drinking alone?>>79970694yeah it is. I came back home all white!>>79970132>What's snow like? I usually hear negative things in relation to it from people.It's cold and wet and a hindrance really. I would really prefer if I could cycle to college but I can't now due 2 snow>Don't worry, it's all dealing with stuff outside of what you're familiar with so it can seem more complicated than it is. People seem to seize up when given unknowns like that.it's not the complexity, it's the amount of info. I could never recall that much info on any subject!>My guess is by forgetting the vast majority of my life B^). I value this data far more, if I'm honest. Childhood memories were never really that pleasant for me.but if u know that that means that u still member them, don't u?
Taking it so easy that I wake up at midnight>>79970044It's snowing at home but it's so hot here that I had to take my hoodie off when I left the house today.>>79971146I like solitude so much that I'd probably hate living with another person. I'm so accustomed to being alone now that adding another person to my life would just be a huge stressor. Can't take it easy like that.
>>79971203Ahh hopefully one day anon, you seem nice you're the one with the salamanders rights?>>79971676>hungover from a nice night out or from a night drinking alone?Drinking alone and playing vidya, I try not to since I'm an alchy.. super hungover it's not worth it honestly agh.>>79971717Yah I feel the exact same, even thinking about it is stressful. Idunno people seem so happy in relationships for the most part. Personally, I think buying a bunch of cats is a better alternative
>>79971773I think I could just about manage a dog now. They're not low-maintenance, but they're so much less stressful than another person, with the bonus that they love you unconditionally.Cats are pretty good too. My grandmother loved hers.
>>79971836Cats make the best pets!
Justin Trudeau finally resigned, thank God. Now my canadian bros can be free from him.>>79971146I already found love and his name is Randal.
>>79972411I've looked after cats, dogs, and fish. They're all pretty good but it depends what you want out of them.Cats are by far the lowest maintenance of the three.
>>79971146>Will we ever find love?The prospect of living 50more years completely lonely makes me want to kill myself and I'm "just" almost 26yo.>If someone asked me out I'd probably reject them because I've been alone for so long that changing that is risky and uncharted territoryIsn't it the same for us all anyway? Especially at this day.
>>79971836A dog would be amazing ngl, I used to be prejudiced against them cos I grew up around my grams shitty, mean dogs but I've since come around. The unconditional love aspect is amazing, I just prefer cats predesposed independence I suppose, plus they purr>>79972411>Cats make the best pets!I could not agree more baha, I love cats so much >>7997330750 years is a long time anything could happen but I guess we both know better to huff the copium >Isn't it the same for us all anyway? Yah almost almost a self fulfilling prophecy, 5 more years and you'll be completely used to it I suppose
>>79973307>The prospect of living 50more years completely lonely makes me want to kill myself and I'm "just" almost 26yo.Sometimes this bothers me, but I have to reflect on whether or not I actually want company. Hugs would be nice, yes, but you have to deal with everything that comes with them, and I think that would just do the opposite of making me happy.Of course, that assumes we're quite similar. If it's tearing you up, you probably shouldn't try to rationalise it like that.>>79973715>I've since come around. The unconditional love aspect is amazingUntil I my family got one I had no idea how much joy they could bring.>I just prefer cats predesposed independence I supposeThat's definitely a plus. They're a lot less needy.>plus they purrMy dog kind of did that. When she was happy she'd make an "mmmmm" sound, I think because she had a messed up nose.
baka finally lifted again after a month long break>>79971717where did u go 2day?>>79971773>Drinking alone and playing vidya, I try not to since I'm an alchy.. super hungover it's not worth it honestly agh.what vidya did u play?
>break's about to be over and archive is still down so i can't check yesterday's threadmany such cases...>>79970044you better be keeping warm during these cold days. you'll get sick otherwise!
>>79974195>many such cases...just use the 4chan archive! The thread should still be up there!>you better be keeping warm during these cold days. you'll get sick otherwise!I'm keeping my room warm. It's like 23 degrees in there. I'm also drinkin teahow much longer r u gonna work 4?
>>79974172>where did u go 2day?The post office to pick up some boxes. Then I'm mailing them off tomorrow.I went to the main post office so I did a tiny amount of exploring near Central after getting lost a few times trying to find the shop entrance. The station is really busy and I must have seen a tens of thousands of people in the space ~10 minutes, and about yuppie in the country as I was walking to the post office. One of the few times I've overheard an English conversation.Also there's a little museum at the post office with some pre-handover stuff.
>>79974268>4chan archive!feeling baka rnit's too late to make a long reply now anyhow>I'm keeping my room warm.>I'm also drinkin tea lovely! earl gray i presume? how much tea do you usually have in a day >how much longer r u gonna work 4?i still have like 4 hours left. i hope they go by fast! after work i think ill go grocery shopping
>>79973715>50 years is a long time anything could happen but I guess we both know better to huff the copium...>Yah almost almost a self fulfilling prophecy, 5 more years and you'll be completely used to it I supposeI feel it's just being jaded, what I meant is what you describe is something everyone feels about relationships or so I guess. In the sense that not everyone is immediately adjusted to relationships, it's something we learn.>>79974046>Hugs would be nice, yes, but you have to deal with everything that comes with them, and I think that would just do the opposite of making me happy.Subjectivity aside, relationships are actually messy and especially these years people want the perfect ones. They want people already healed, already capable of dealing with stuff and all... They don't want to grow together, which I think is how you bond with your partner.>If it's tearing you up, you probably shouldn't try to rationalise it like that.That's just impossible, my nature is overthinking.Thought about whether or not I wanted to avatarpost then decided against it.
>>79974368what r u mailing?>I went to the main post office so I did a tiny amount of exploring near Central after getting lost a few times trying to find the shop entrance.did u see anything kewl?>One of the few times I've overheard an English conversation.what were they talking about?>Also there's a little museum at the post office with some pre-handover stuff.did u visit it?>>79974419that's fine the thread won't go anywhere for a while!>lovely! earl gray i presume? how much tea do you usually have in a dayyeah! I usually drink around 2-4 cups per day>i still have like 4 hours left. i hope they go by fast! after work i think ill go grocery shoppingwhat will u buy?
>>79974500>these years people want the perfect ones. They want people already healed, already capable of dealing with stuff and allIt upsets me knowing that I'll never be able to meet whatever expectations someone has for me. Not just in terms of relationships, but in general. I try to not let it bother me but I think only leaving my bedroom a few times a month might be a response to that in some way.>>79974597>what r u mailing?Cards and snacks>did u see anything kewl?Some of the bank skyscrapers>what were they talking about?Work stuff>did u visit it?Yes, by little I mean it was a small corner of the building.
>>79974046>My dog kind of did that. When she was happy she'd make an "mmmmm" sound, I think because she had a messed up nose.That sounds incredibly adorable just imagining it! Noticed you're using past tense for her tho ;~; was thinking of getting a kitten but I wouldn't mind a dog either these days>>79974172>what vidya did u play?I've been playing fallout new vegas these past couple weeks, I love it to bits! Have you been playing any vidya recently too?>>79974500>...Ahaha yaa maybe abit too pessimistic, I blame le hangover >what I meant is what you describe is something everyone feels about relationships or so I guess.Ahh ya makes sense, they'd definitely have to be really patient with me i suppose, plus I dislike change in general desu
Can someone explain the lore of "taking it easy" threads? Who is posting here? Trans? Women? Robots? And how did it start?
>>79974848Idk, I'm just here to chat and be autistic about a certain canadian cryptid when the waifu thread is down.
>>79974844>That sounds incredibly adorable just imagining it!It was really cute. She'd make the same sort of noise when she was walking around too.>Noticed you're using past tense for her tho ;~;She passed away on Christmas eve. It all happened very suddenly and I was heartbroken since I was going to fly home and see her in in a few weeks. >was thinking of getting a kitten but I wouldn't mind a dog either these daysI would advocate that all robots get a pet if they have the means and the capability to look after one. They'll be there for you in your darkest moments and they won't judge you. Once I move to my next apartment I'll try and get my own dog.>>79974848It was recently revealed that the thread has a loremaster, so they can probably answer it better. These threads have been going on since at least last April and serve as a comfy place to talk about whatever. As far as I know we're all men. I think everyone here has some kind of mental disorder.
>>79974739>Cards and snacks2 ur frens overseas?>Yes, by little I mean it was a small corner of the building.did u see anything kewl there?Wut will u do once ur back home?>>79974844>I've been playing fallout new vegas these past couple weeks, I love it to bits!I'd love 2 try that some day> Have you been playing any vidya recently too?just got off an eu4 session. Played as Germany into European Union (modded of course)Currently in the process of uniting europe under the 4th reich!I also play some mmos as well, like ESO or guild wars. Been playing sum warframe 2 recently>>79974848it started off as me schizoposting and evolved into gomfy threads where u can talk about whatever
>>79975071>I think everyone here has some kind of mental disorder.My mom told me a couple years ago that when I was 3 years old I was zooming around outside and rammed myself head first into a tree stump and that I still have a scar from that event on my forehead. So I might be brain-damaged as well. Just like Postal Dude lol
>I think everyone here has some kind of mental disorder.>>79975071>>79975147>>79975151What's yours?
>>79975202>Brain damageDefinitely.>Schizo and autism personality disordersProbably, I'm not going to let anybody stick their fingers in my head so best I have are online tests.
Postal Dude is so cool, if I didn't meet Randal I would probably post him because he's so freaking cool.Also, Hatred fucking sucks, you can't even do a pacifist run in it.
>>79975147>2 ur frens overseas?Late christmas cards for a secret Santa. The delays is the Canadian postal service's fault but I figured I should send some snacks to make up for the huge delay.>did u see anything kewl there?Just some old post boxes and an old stamp dispenser>Wut will u do once ur back home?I'm not really sure. I might try to visit Buxton again. But I imagine a lot of it will be at home with my family, not really doing anything. I'm mostly visiting for their sake.
>>79975202I've been diagnosed with schizotypal personality disorder>>79975331y do u like postal dude so much?>>79975431did u send them out alright?>I'm not really sure. I might try to visit Buxton again. But I imagine a lot of it will be at home with my family, not really doing anything. I'm mostly visiting for their sake.is that the city where u coached the boating team?
>>79975664The post office isn't open for another 30 minutes, but I'll start making my way down soon.>is that the city where u coached the boating team?No, it's somewhere we used to visit a lot when I was a kid. Very nice place. Pic related.Boating stuff was in Cambridge but the train there takes a few hours, so I might not be able to visit.
>>79971676I see. Do you wish you lived somewhere warmer? Snow always looks so nice in photos.>it's not the complexity, it's the amount of info. I could never recall that much info on any subject!I see, not even with chemistry? Or how about history stuff? I imagine you'd be far better at recalling info with all of that. Make sure you're getting your vitamin D and B vitamins too. Don't want memory problems.>but if u know that that means that u still member them, don't u?Kind of. I remember details about my life but I've forgotten the actual events. Like I've written down notes in my head but when I try to remember the actual thing that happened, nothing. My mom also gets upset whenever she talks about someone I knew as a kid or had some interaction with and I have no idea what she's talking about.>>79971773I do post salamanders and stuff sometimes too, yeah. I've got a big folder of them and isopods and some frogs as well. People usually just call me animal anon though. I hope your day has gone well too while I was asleep.>>79971717Nighttime is the best time B^).>>79972411I'm sadly allergic to them. They are quite cute though.>>79972961The future still isn't very bright for the Canucks. They should just be annexed into the US, honestly.
>>79974848Like has been said, we're all men. As far as who is a or isn't a robot, depends on your definition. If your definition is a NEET shut-in, then I think I'm the only one here that comes close. If your definition is a lonely man, then just about everyone here would fall under that.>>79975331Never played Postal. I hear it's fun, is it one of your favorite games?>Hatred fucking sucks, you can't even do a pacifist run in it.It is a game about hatred and murder B^).
lurking again and taking it easytoday an angry spirit came around my place and slammed doors around, also threw an empty cracker bag on me that was sitting on top of my desksince i was still half awake, i grabbed them by the neck and slammed them on the floor, saying "don't do that shit" and they fled through the window, i thinkonce i opened my eyes, things calmed down, no more doors being slammed, no more things falling on mewhat a weird moment>>79974848is there any lore to be had in the first place?some bakanon started posting them once upon a time and shit didn't make much sense at first, but then it eventually evolved into comfy threads and more people came aroundme i'm just here mostly to lurk or to blog about my sleep schedule nowadays, i guessa miko brought me here but she seems long gone, for better or worse
>>79974739>It upsets me knowing that I'll never be able to meet whatever expectations someone has for me. Not just in terms of relationships, but in general.Don't know if it helps, sometimes it does for me sometimes not, you can't make everyone happy. That's just statistically impossible, for anyone too.Personally speaking, for how stupidly high standards seem to be, unless I maybe read this board too much over the years, I don't even want a perfect girl.>>79974844>Ahaha yaa maybe abit too pessimistic, I blame le hangoverNo it's fine, it's just my own sorrow.>they'd definitely have to be really patient with me i supposeSame goes for me, I think I might be pretty messed up for a relationship but I don't really want to sink down 'that path'.>plus I dislike change in general desuIt just makes me apprehensive because I tend to stick to my comfort zone, risk aversion I think.

EUGH....>I see, not even with chemistry? Or how about history stuff? I imagine you'd be far better at recalling info with all of that. Make sure you're getting your vitamin D and B vitamins too. Don't want memory problems.my brain is built different. When trying 2 learn shit i look 4 laws and principles that could help me member shit better. Logical thinking helps with that, but it doesn't help with learning pure data. It helped in organic chemistry a lot. I even was able 2 snatch a question from a college during an exam that wayas for history, i know way too little than I would like to. I remember certain important dates, but u could count them on 2 hands probably.>>79975972hello junasdid u try punching the evil spirit?do u get attacked by evil spirits often?
Also >>79974848It's all guys posting stuff they like and cut a more comfy corner from the rest of the board, started randomly and most stuck around since. That's about it.
>>79975989no, whenever i'm out of it like half asleep or in dreams, i reach for things with invisible armsbeing temporarily our of your body has its perks, it's just your consciousness and you're able to spawn as many arms as you wantit didn't see me until i grabbed it, lol>do u get attacked by evil spirits often?not really, first time this happened i thinknot the first time i've seen this angry spirit around here but the first time it woke me upi hate being woken up without a good reason
>>79975891>Nighttime is the best time B^).It is. That's why I sleep through the day!>>79975976>you can't make everyone happy. That's just statistically impossible, for anyone too.That's true. I still try my best to leave a good impression on people but it can be exhausting. In a way it's become a bit easier since moving, since I know that peoples views of me will be informed by stereotypes, as opposed to my words and actions.>unless I maybe read this board too much over the years, I don't even want a perfect girl.Best of luck on your love quest, anon. Hopefully people return to their senses sooner than later.>>79975989>go get a delicious meal!I think the only food place open that early is McDonalds. But if you insist...>did u make that image?I did. I took the picture when I visited a few months ago.>u worked at a pretty prestigious university i see...I did my master's there. They didn't offer me a spot on the PhD, unfortunately. Or that job as an RA... The other place offered me an unfunded PhD but money talks so I live on the other side of the world now.
>>79975972Make sure you lay some blessed salt down and pray. Keep those bad spirits away. Pour some gin too (:.>>79975989True. I sometimes get pelted by moths when I walk outside at night. Very unpleasant. The mosquitos are no fun either.>my brain is built different. When trying 2 learn shit i look 4 laws and principles that could help me member shit better. Logical thinking helps with that, but it doesn't help with learning pure data.We're kind of alike in that, on my part I remember animals based on their niches(the function they play in an ecosystem) and their taxonomic relationship(the changes they've had compared to their ancestral form). That helps a lot.>I even was able 2 snatch a question from a college during an exam that wayVery nice B^). You know if you became more familiar with microbes you could put that organic chemistry knowledge to good use. There are even livestreams of people editting DNA on YouTube for things like yeast to make various things, or editting tomatoes to make them spicy. Here's one such livestream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-638xx7XeIThe bottleneck is buying the supplies and trying to get the genes to take in their new home. That takes a bit of time and effort, but using well-known procedures from various papers will make things work most of the time(from what I've heard, it sometimes can just go "fuck you" and not work at all for no discernable reason).>as for history, i know way too little than I would like to. I remember certain important dates, but u could count them on 2 hands probably.I forget dates all of the time, which is funny since I'm a diagnosed sperg. I tend to just remember principles and some events that changed the course of a civilization. Also, it helps to view civilizations in the context of human evolution too. Civilizations have this tendency to make people much smarter at first(when conditions are harsher) and then dumber(as conditions get very easy and things are bountiful).1/2
>>79976093Very good tastes there, if I may be so biased B^).Mayflies come from a very early branch in the insect family tree and at least some of them possess the odd ability to molt after they've formed wings to reform new wings. I want their secrets for pet moths and butterflies that could live in their adult forms and regenerate their wings.Also they're related to dragonflies and similarly have an aquatic stage of life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayfly2/2
>Get up at 7 for the first time in months>Get my workout done in the morning>Log in to work feeling refreshed and accomplished>Everything on work is on fire>Got too cocky on Friday and assumed it wasn't my problem>We discover today that it is my problem>Getting grilled all day about the system while trying to help more senior people figure shit out>Had to skip all my meals to make sure stuff gets done>Only meal I've had consisted of a coke, croissant, and a banana>Fuck off at 5 even though people are still messaging me>Finally home>Brain is boom>Order mac and cheese>Guy working the counter there recognizes me when I go to pick it up>He gives me a free brownyI think this balances out to an okay day.Now I'm eating my mac and cheesy and taking it easy peazy.
>>79976364rip, at least you're able to enjoy the cheesy meal and take it easy. Also is the brownie good too? Have a manatee orgy.
>>79976283one of my relatives already does that, but it doesn't matter muchthe guy who lives down below seems too cursed for that, every night i can feel a stream of god-awful energy coming from down therei'm sure i sound like a schizo but i don't know, it feels wrongalso i never tried gin, i don't think i'll like it
>>79976410I won't judge you for how odd or supernatural it is, don't worry. Sadly, I lack any occult knowledge to help set you at ease. I can however give you a cute cat video. Also I forget if gin or if some other booze was meant to help ward off "bad spirits" or if the spirits part of booze was related to something else. It's been a long time. Gin isn't that pleasant either though.
>>79976396I haven't even eaten half of it and I'm already kinda full. Brownie will probably wait until another day. Maybe that guy who told me to fast was on to something. If I keep this up, maybe I can get down to a single grain of rice a day.
>>79976464>Maybe that guy who told me to fast was on to something.Moshi moshi B^).I wouldn't try to starve yourself entirely though, you should eat a normal amount on the days you don't fast. Maybe even a little bit extra to avoid losing weight(unless you want to). You don't want to be anorexic, right? Hope you'll enjoy the brownie once you get to it too.
>>79976446thanks, anoni'll stay away from the booze for now, i really hate alcoholbut it's fine, i've lived with it for a year or two nowthe funny thing is, he lives at the house i was born in, lived there until i was 1 or 2, then i moved for a bit over 20 years and moved to the house above it with my relativesit's sad to see my first house being cursed this badly, i'm sure part of it is spilling over to me as a result
>>79976589Well, at the very least you should make sure that you're healthy if anything bad happens. A lot of people on this board don't get enough B vitamins(you get them from animal products largely but nutritional yeast is rich in them too) or vitamin D. Not getting enough of those vitamins will make you weaker, have less energy and be more prone to depression. Gotta be your best just in case bad stuff happens.Zinc is also vital too. Have a tiny greenhouse frog. This one is a baby but they don't get much bigger than that.
>>79976672i take a supplements pill everyday, has all of that stuff and morei'll be fine, when the year turned, i had my 4 curses converted into blessings instead, one of them being evil repulsioni worry mostly about my relatives, i'm a tough nut to crack but them... not so muchthe sad part is, the guy's not even a bad person, he's just a good guy but deeply troubled and neck deep in vicesit sucks seeing bad things happen to good people
>>79975071Ah I'm really sorry about your dog anon she sounded adorable ;c that was pretty recent too hope you're healing well. It always hurts so much when pets pass away..>I would advocate that all robots get a pet if they have the means and the capability to look after one.Oh yah huge agree, it does so much for mental health its incredible. At one point my cat completely replaced the need for normal social interaction >>79975147>just got off an eu4 sessionFunfun! That's one of the strategy games ya?>Currently in the process of uniting europe under the 4th reich!Extremely based>mmosFun as fuck too! I tried guild wars but had a hard time keeping up with the story, was awhile ago tho. Only mmos I play is mostly wow private servers>>79975891Ah word love to see them baha, could you pinpoint your favorite animal? Had a great day ya hope you did too!>>79975976>No it's fine, it's just my own sorrow.Bahaha ya I feel that on a spiritual level, agh.>Same goes for me, I think I might be pretty messed up for a relationship but I don't really want to sink down 'that path'.They say there's someone for everybody but for robots that person would have to be an actual angel, or saint or something I suppose. Plenty of other broken people tho I suppose>It just makes me apprehensive because I tend to stick to my comfort zone, risk aversion I think.Same it just feels better this way, change is usually for the worst anyways atleast for me, don't need anymore trouble
>>79976746Maybe with some well wishes he'll start to see some good in his life. Good to hear that you're taking supplements and that you're resistant to those dark forces too. >>79976776Outside of yesterday, it's been a while since I posted tons of salamanders. Do you remember me from before then? I'm glad someone loves the salamanders I post regardless B^). Yesterday was nice, but today has only really started for me.>could you pinpoint your favorite animal?That's hard. I've never really been able to pick a favorite, usually I'm just really interested in one animal that I found out something cool with it and then move on. I do tend to love a lot of prehistoric animals though, that and invertebrates. What about you? What's your favorite animal?
>>79970044Watching AGDQ and taking it easy.I got cuphead's platinum trophy a couple days ago and now I am trying to get the plat for Slay the Spire and Mighty number 9.
>>79976833i really wish i could agree with you there, but he seems so far gone already that i don't think he's getting out of it any other way than 6 feet underi really really wish he'd turn his life around, but... yeah
>>79976885Nice. Would you recommend Slay the Spire? I've heard good things about it before but I'm not too familiar with it.>>79976889Well, that's sad to hear. Is he all alone? No family in his life or friends? I'd say maybe him being introduced to a church community or something like that could help him out if he wasn't already in one. I doubt it'd be easy to reach out to him if he's gripped by what you've said he is though.
>>79976940worse, he's in bad companyall the people he ever brings here have a sound of "criminals" to them, and i'm quite sure one of them is his weed dealerif i'm being completely honest with you... the most likely future i see is this house becoming abandoned once one of my relatives passes away (they're mother and son and i'm quite sure the son will want to move the fuck away once she's gone)and when that happens, his situation will deteriorate rapidly until he either dies of some health condition from smoking like a locomotive, or he'll commit suicidei frankly don't see a good future ahead of him, only disasters and death, unless he's willing to walk through a mile of broken glass to try and salvage what little is left of his life
>>79976940>Would you recommend Slay the Spire?100%, it is a great and fun game and Slay the Spire 2 was announced a few days ago at the Game Awards. I don't like card games in general but Slay the Spire and Inscryption are awesome fun games, Inscryption in particular is very unique because it is a horror, roguelike card game.Slay the Spire is a somewhat hard roguelike card game, which means you play card to defeat enemies and if you lose you have to restart the game all over. You can make some crazy combinations with the cards even being able to do infinite damage, it is crazy fun, hope you enjoy.
>>79977011Well, if he's taking tons of drugs then I doubt he'll want to do anything too difficult. People grow dependent on those substances too. The brain adjusts in response to whatever substances we try to affect it with so that it can reach a healthy balance. This is why alcoholics and have some really gnarly withdrawal symptoms, like seizures. Alcohol, being a depressant, makes the brain adapt to try and reach its desired equilibrium and if you suddenly take the weight off of one side of the scale then it'll fling down the other side. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_withdrawal_syndrome>>79977061I'll have to look into Inscryption later too then. I might grab Slay the Spire later tonight, I need a new thing to grind out since I've run out of stuff to look into )^:. Also, I do love my roguelikes, I'm very familiar with them. RoR2 is one of my favorites.Also, this is the spotted salamander. Its egg and tadpole stage of life makes use of endosymbiotic algae who photosynthesize and feed them. It seems that the adults may retain the algae and give them to their young, meaning that these little guys could be on the road to developing really well adapted photosynthetic endosymbionts that might even be useful in adulthood(if the conditions to allow them to do such occur). I want them, very badly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_salamander>"the only known example of vertebrate cells hosting an endosymbiont microbe (unless mitochondria are considered)."Also the endosymbiont in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorococcum_amblystomatis>"This symbiosis between C. amblystomatis and the salamander may exist beyond the oocyte and early embryonic stage. Chlorophyll autofluorescence observation and ribosomal DNA analysis suggest that this algal species has invaded embryonic salamander tissues and cells during development and may even be transmitted to the next generation."I would make solar salamanders if I had the chance to.
>>79976833>Do you remember me from before then?Oh ya thats was me we were chatting yesterday about those water salamanders and living off the land ahaha, prolly more don't remember much was my sneaky alcohol day>That's hard. I've never really been able to pick a favoriteYa i understand and prehistoric animals are just so fucking cool I've always loved them. Used to always imagine how society would work if dinosaurs existed lmaoo>What about you? What's your favorite animal?Probably house cats for the most part but I love cats in general, especially the big ass ones. If i was a richfag I'd def have like a siberian lynx or sum
>>79977131I see, I see. The liquid CO2 turbine and NEET life stuff, right? Potatoes would also be very easy to grow if you ever wanted to cut down on food costs. Sweet potatoes too, you can make them into a kind of dessert with sugar, cinnamon and salt sprinkled onto sweet potato fries. I highly recommend them.>Ya i understand and prehistoric animals are just so fucking cool I've always loved them. Used to always imagine how society would work if dinosaurs existed lmaooThey've actually found some of the genes necessary to revert birds to be more like their ancestors B^). Pic related is from one embryological study(iirc) that found a gene that could stop birds from developing their beaks and instead developing a more dinosaurian snout, with their closest living relatives(the crocodilians) being compared to them. There was another gene for giving back their teeth too iirc, but the main hurdles left were giving them back their tail(which is necessary for them to get to massive sizes like T-rex) and fixing their arms to give them claws and such. The Hoatzin though does have claws. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HoatzinHouse cats are really cute. Also if you ever do end up as a richfag, you could go for cheetahs too B^). Cheetahs are very cute and can be very relaxed around people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJNyXjbmQygThere may be some possibility for hybridizing cheetahs and house cats too. I know I've talked about it on /an/ before, but they're not too distantly related(I think they separated lineages with house cats about 6 mya iirc, which is close to us and chimps) and they have the same number of chromosomes. There's also somatic fusion to force two eggs to combine into one nucleus which can then be used for cloning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_fusion

We're not sure what her past was like because we got her from a shelter who'd take in dogs from shady breeders so they weren't just killed. But we tried to give her a good life for the ~8 years we had her.>It always hurts so much when pets pass away..Outliving pets is one of the great tragedies of life.

>>79977364>That sounds quite handy. I'm surprised more insects don't do that.It may be because for a lot of insects the final stage is meant to be short, like with mayflies. Additionally a lot of flying insects seem to stop all growth when they hit their adult stage and don't molt at all after that. I forget the hormone involved, but some parabiosis(joining two separate animals) experiments done on moths showed how an adult moth could be used to stop a pupa from finally molting into its adult form when they combined.

>>79977598If you get some spices and an aquarium then you can have their roots growing in the aquarium water too. I've been growing pothos in our aquarium in the kitchen(and it's fucking massive now, with some vines being over 12 feet long after we trimmed it like 4 months ago when they were also 12 feet long then too). Aquarium heater to keep the water warm and the plants take out the nitrates and phosphates from the water so ideally you don't have to do any water changes(we don't). You just have to add new water in from what evaporates or is sucked up. We're gonna rehandle things and plant the pothos outside and move spice plants(basil and thyme for now) into the aquarium after I move things around. I've grown basil in there before too actually. It grew really well.>That's amazing wonder if they can pull off even a smaller Dino using that tech, maybe even in our lifetimes o-oThey are going for a dinochicken project, actually.

>>79977903>I guess I never thought about it like that, since you usually only seem them in that form.Yeah, that's the best way for them to disperse and move around so it's when they're the most visible. Also they take up completely different food sources when they metamorphose like that. Nectar over leaves for the moths and butterflies(unless you include the blood sucking and fruit piercing moths). Pic related drinks blood for some protein and sodium, iirc. They could certainly adapt to be pure bloodsuckers in the right context, but they're from the fruit piercing moths who drink fruit juices. They've exapted for the vampire life (:.

>>79978490>I wish animals wouldn't do that...But blood is delicious (:. I love blood. It's full of protein and fats and a nice blend of salts. What's good for the cells of your body is good for the cells of another. Butterflies like blood too but don't tend to steal it from us. The whole reason butterflies are called butterflies may be because of their mudpuddling/lust for sodium, protein and fats. They're named as they are because they were often seen in the past drinking butter. If I had to guess, salted butter mainly. Pic related is what butterflies may do to a corpse though. Others like to drink tears(lacryphagy - lacry for tear, phagy to consume) and of course moths join them in that.>>79978524Here's hoping, anon. Don't let yourself be too upset if it doesn't work out for him though.>>79978526What all do you have to get caught up on? I might be able to offer some tips or advice, depending on what it is and if you're comfortable disclosing it. Be careful also to not let your ambitions crush you.

But peace without meaning doesn't even feel as such, if it even makes sense; what of life does anyway? And here I go on a train of thoughts, odd and incoherent.
>>79978651The turtle might eat the guppies, yeah. I could get different kinds of fish that would be safe, but I'unno.

Not the brightest but they warm up to you if you spend a lot of time around them. They like to graze around me when I'm out there and get scared if I'm not around. I handfed them as chicks too.>Ahh cats just having a bad day i suppose. I can 100% see them holding grudges i know my cat did lmaooWhat'd your cat have a grudge on?

That seems to be a job a lot of people on this site end up doing for some reason.I don't think I could manage a customer-facing job because of how awful people can be.

>>79978841>Isn't that how we get prion diseases?I imagine you could get some that way, but it's usually through infected brain and meat tissue being consumed. I'll be fine if I'm drinking my own blood, can't infect myself with something I don't already have that way (:.

>>79979044I dunno if I'm taking it ez. I should, shouldn't I.>>79979058>>79979069Uhh let's see. It was cold. I showered. I played minecraft with frens. I worked. I think it'd be nice if I played more games with more friends but I don't know where to meet more people except here, and I'm pretty paranoid adding most people off of here to be honest. One girl who I like a lot (as a friend) hasn't responded to me for days now. I miss her. I know I like her more than she likes me sadly. I wish I had more friends to talk to daily, especially more female friends. Thanks for asking. You can tell me about your days too if you'd like... (I don't know if you already have yet in this thread sorri)
>>79979086Cute comfy moosics.>>79979106I think daily talking friends are a little overrated but that's just my lonely tendencies talking. And it is better to have someone to chat to every day than not.I don't think I want to talk about my day too much, I am tired now.Forgive me for getting sappy, but I am feeling lonelier than ever. How much I need a gentle embrace when I feel so tired and alone. I feel for anons suffering alone without anyone to comfort them. (So I will put on the ASMR and hug my pillow in a little bit.)
>>79979064You'll greatly increase your likelihood of psychosis occurring. From what I remember in people who were suffering from psychosis one of the trends was that they were far more likely to be deficient in B & D vitamins and certain minerals. The other risk factor seemed to be living in a city as that seemed to double the likelihood to develop psychosis. Or rather, the per capita rate of psychosis was something like 2x as high in cities according to one study. It's been a while since I've indulged in it all though.B & D vitamins are especially important not just for your bodily health but also your mental health. Deficiencies in them will make you weaker, more prone to depression and in severe cases can cause permanent nerve and brain damage(but we're talkin' real severe, like you only eat potatoes and never see sunlight).>>79979086>woe is me, more cool animal factsThat's it, you asked for it B^).>quite the interesting idea. i assume this is something that hasnt been done beforeAs far as I know, you're correct, yeah. I was thinking on it recently too and there's a kind of mystery with elephant seals. From what I remember their ability to dive for so long seems to defy what should be expected, but I can't help but wonder if they're not using lactic acid metabolism(the response we use in anoxic conditions) but instead a different kind of redox(reductive oxidation, basically what we do with sugar and oxygen but replace the oxygen with something else). Would be neat to see if their mitochondrial genomes have any weird genes.>dang! just how many do you havePic related is just dedicated to Youtube video ideas) Each file in there is a .txt file with a bunch of bulletin points or just the basis of an idea.Also, it's fine. One day, for sure.>>79979106You should take it ez, of course. Also, sorry to hear about your friend but sometimes people vanish for a while but they intend to come back.

I'm not gay, *proceeds to say something completely unrelated*.>>79975664>y do u like postal dude so much?Cause he's so cool and the games are so unhindged you can't take them seriously and it's amazing. Here's a fanart that in particular reminds me of Randal. Would Randal in his 30's-40's look like PD? That would be awesome.>>79975909One of the, yes. Postal 2 and Corkscrew Rules in particular.>spoilerYeah and that's a problem, Shadow the Edgehog was less edgy than this polish trashfire of a game.
>>79979246>should I take supplements then?Yeah, if you don't get a varied diet with a good amount of animal products and a good amount of sunlight then it's safer that way. I take supplements anyhow even though I should be good on the food front(not the sun part though B^) ).>>79979354Didn't they release a Postal boomer shooter not too long ago? Also I take it that you don't like hurting things? Or is it that you want more variety in your games? More options to deal with things.Pic related is a mangrove tree crab, they're a crab that largely lives in mangrove trees and eats mangrove leaves. They do still need to go to the water to rehydrate a bit and to spawn, but are otherwise totally arboreal(living in trees). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aratus_pisoniiI'd love to have them as pets at some point and to breed them. Also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrK8eugKRqgThey do live in my state and I know how people breed hermit crabs, so that ought to work for these mangrove tree crabs too. I just need a good arboreal enclosure, like the kind they make for tree pythons.
Had a dream today after waking up and falling back asleep numerous times that Howdie posted more personal info and apparentaly he was 169 cm tall but only 42 kilograms heavy.>>79979379>Didn't they release a Postal boomer shooter not too long ago?Poo Stall? Or Brain-Damaged? RWS is still working on Postal 4 if I remember correctly.>Also I take it that you don't like hurting things? Or is it that you want more variety in your games? More options to deal with things.Well, hurting things is fun sure, and being a complete maniac is fun too, but it gets boring after a couple time. Plus, the storyline of pacifist run feels different, as one youtube commenter put it "The whole town going insane while Dude just tries to live his life" and personally I like it better.>picrelNot the crabs that devoured Amelia Earhart but still nice.
>>79979608Brain damaged it the one I'm thinking of, yeah.>Plus, the storyline of pacifist run feels different, as one youtube commenter put it "The whole town going insane while Dude just tries to live his life" and personally I like it better.I see. Makes sense. Hatred as far as I know wasn't ever really that complex and seemed overpriced. It's just a top down shooter. It was definitely meant to rake money in from Columbine fanboys/girls and the kinds of people who dream about school shootings.>Not the crabs that devoured Amelia Earhart but still nice.They're small, cute and almost entirely herbivorous (:. Imagine they were bred to be larger. If they were bred to skip their aquatic lifestage. A new source of easy to grow crab meat. Just look at those eyes too.

How do u portion the ingredients? i have been cooking for two for a long time so i have it down by now. my family consists of just me and my dad and my dad is a bit of a bad/clumsy cook.so i have been cooking for us since an early age haha. i don't really eat too much and i know about how much he does so i can accurately predict what i need and how much of it. besides, if there's extra it can always be leftovers for the next day or something. usually you want more than what you need >Do u just improvise and see how much will that give u?when im doing dishes i haven't done before, yes!how often do you cook? do you grocery shop?1/2
>>79979246>also tell me about the manga u've been reading! im reading chobits. i found the hard cover omnibuses of it in a used books store! i purchased them immediately, they look so nice. im still missing the last one though. this series has been in my backlog for a long time, im enjoying it so far! have you read it before? or seen it? i know it was an anime but i prefer to read. no spoilers plsare you reading any manga currently?>>79979140>Would be neat to see if their mitochondrial genomes have any weird genes.thanks for the parentheses with explanations, id be lost otherwise. that would be a cool thing to look into. i wonder why no one has done so yet>Pic related is just dedicated to Youtube video ideas) i didn't know you had a youtube channel. that's super cool. how many of your video ideas have you done?>>799797482/2
>>79979778I imagine if it hasn't been done yet then it's because it's not something that people usually look into. The standard is to look at the animal's genome as that's what's presumed to have the most adaptations to the environment. Mitochondrial DNA is usually looked at to see the relatedness between organisms and in that way when it's applied to humans(outside of screening for mitochondrial related diseases) it's to find out our maternal haplogroup. I don't think I've really heard of any animal being found to have really interesting mitochondria, but now I should probably look into it.>i didn't know you had a youtube channel. that's super cool. how many of your video ideas have you done?A whole two videos B^) each over an hour long and with under 10 views. Just ranting stuff, largely. I need to record a third, shorter video and then work on a bigger one soon. Have some freshwater stingrays. People breed these and keep them in aquariums and apparently they can get very friendly with their owners.
Death Grips - Year of the Stinch (Full EP).>>79979657The whole thing about shilling serial killers/mass shooters has always been weird to me honestly, I understand that TCC exists for a reason but still.
>>79980740I'm not actually familiar with TCC. Business men will always find something to try and exploit though and there's no shortage of antisocial people these days. All of the coverage on school shooters only focuses the attention to that kind of thing too. Have some zebra isopods. I want to get some some day. They're easy to keep and cute.
Morning easy anons probably gunna be another sleepy day today. Crazy how the weather makes it incredibly hard to leave the bed without a proper reason

It has imitation crab and is fried with panko on the outside. Really good.>and making rice is ez pzYe i suppose it is. It just takes a while with all the washing and waiting 4 it too soak up the water and stuff. And u gotta be careful not to put in too much or too little rice vinegar...>hmmm maybe ill look into recipes for it then and give it a shot myself sometime sooni suppose the trickies part is heating it up if u don't have an electric grill, because u can easily burn it>>79979748>i have been cooking for two for a long time so i have it down by now. my family consists of just me and my dad and my dad is a bit of a bad/clumsy cook.it's the opposite 4 me.

>>79981051I had my snooze in the morning! Yeah I agree, the weather really does make one sleepy. Just makes u wanna cover up and drink something warm!
>>79981329Warm drinks on cold days are the best.. what is everyone's preferred drink of choice?
>>79981329Ahh nice! Do you sleep alot? I'm prolly gunna go back to sleep when i get back home I suppose.. it really does it's so incredibly cold agh. Goes right through warm clothing>>79981709Probably coffee i suppose although I'd love some hot cocoa, haven't had any for an incredibly long time tho. Besides coffee and cocoa i can't think of anything else good to drink in cold weather I suppose
These 8 hour naps are good. I should do them more often.>>79978855I suppose the problem is you wouldn't know which animals are infected just by looking, especially if you're another animal. I think that's how BSE (and subsequently vCJD) came about.>>79978993> they do recycle them but redesign them to fit in with whatever generation they're going intoI didn't know that. I need to pay more attention whenever stuff gets leaked.>needless to say, i won't be buying an original cart anytime soonI've been trying to get a copy of Crystal for a while but I just can't find any that are reasonably priced.>makes me wish i was born earlier when all of these things were accessable and fairly priced lmaoIt's a shame that people have cottoned onto this, so you can't even benefit from it now. That and there's less demand for the new stuff. You can get a sealed copy of Moon for less than it cost when it came out.>im telling nintendo on you!They can't touch me! The limitation period is 6 years Christ, it doesn't feel like it came out 8 years ago.>i think pokemon sun was the first game that made me feel like i wasted my money/timeThat was probably some crappy shovelware game I got as a kid, but I would have been pretty upset if I paid for Moon.>im honestly appalled that sv didn't do poorly with the way they look and all the glitches it hadA rational consumer wouldn't buy it, but most people aren't rational. The fact that they're the third best selling Pokemon games is astonishing and gives me absolutely no hope for the series. My disappointment with the DP remakes is immeasurable. When HGSS came out, I figured the improvements made to the series in ~10 years would be amazing and the DP remakes would be the best thing ever made...>second only to eterna forestThat one is great too. Makes me remember staying up to catch Rotom.
>>79978993>admittedly pokemon is one of those series that i always watch in englishYou aren't missing much but some of the songs are nice. 5's ED fits really well, I think.>i wish they did that with more of the moviesThe thing I don't understand is that the staff is the same for almost all of the movies, but the quality is all over the place. I don't think it's a budget thing either. It can't cost that much to draw Brock hugging his pillow when he sleeps...I think about this a lot.> i wonder how they'll handle the moviesI think they've just given up on making them. I don't think there's been any news yet about a 23rd movie, and it's been a couple of years now.>good or bad realization? i for one am aware how much i like pokemon lol.Good, I think. It's important to remember things you actually like.>/vp/ is my home boardI feel like I should browse it more. Especially between games when the board is at its most weird.>>79979058>wut does 2:1 mean?My degree classification. I think it's equivalent to a B or a 3.3 GPA.

>>79985377being more "open minded" didn't do me any good, anondon't get me wrong, it's not like i think you're bad company or anything, just that i don't want people bailing on me againif i'm to play on my own then i'll at least skip the bullshit and store my own world right here, where i can load it anytime i want, with no lag to account for and being able to pause whenever i feel like
>>79985377>where r u gonna go with it?probably to short places, i live more at home and i don't go out much, but having this special bilhete unico helps a lot
Why is tea seen as relaxing and coffee as productive? They both have caffeine
>>79985999nice digitscalming tea exists (lemongrass, passionfruit, etc.), but calming coffee doesn'tnot all teas contain caffeine
>>79985999Maybe tea has some other relaxing chemicals and proper-teas.
>>79986248I forgot herbal tea exists.>>79986449>proper-teasLel.

>>79986248What about decaffeinated coffee?
>>79970044Thinking about what sex is like and taking it easy
I'm trying to play video games to distract myself but I don't know if it's working. When I feel neurotic I think it's best to always do something that will distract me but it doesn't always work and I don't know what else to do. I'm desperate for escapism.
>>79981213Gotta keep it on your desk so you can do it as soon as you wake up or before getting off like I do B^). I made a habit out of having to take my synthroid and I never forget it, once it's a habit it's hard to forget.>>79981279Much sleep and that squid is a kind of glass squid, or a relative of them iirc. It'd be a not too distant relative to the colossal squid down around Antarctica.>>79982878>I might be just fat but they look delicious.They do have that glossy look of good chocolates. Apparently woodlice taste kind of like shrimp when cooked, so there is that if you'd want to try it.A not so dangerous spider, a giant sea spiders. Sea spiders lack any kind of venom(although I figure some might be poisonous or toxic as a defense if I had to guess. Don't know if any genuinely are though) and are very distant relatives of actual spiders. Scorpions are far more closely related to real spiders than real spiders are to the sea spiders, which is very evident when you hear about how sea spiders have their intestines going into their legs. This allows them to actually help pump their blood through the motion of their intestines(peristaltic motion). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejayKNhfudE>>79988042It's a mystery to many, myself included.
>>79988074Music and pacing around helps me. I try to think of fantasy worlds when I do so. What kind of games do you like? I might be able to offer some suggestions. What about anime?
>>79987590i don't think that has a calming effect either, anonit may not make most people hyper (or it may, i have no info on this), but it doesn't really have a calming effect either
>>79988074Maybe try writing a happy short story! Stories are nice and get your imagination going. It is it's own form of escapism.
>>79988083Hmmm I tend to only listen to music whilst emotional or when I want to escape into my imaginary world. I find that music only makes me feel better when I'm angry. Like head banging alone to metal in my room like a loser sort of thing. I think when I feel like this it wouldn't make me feel that much better, but I thank you for the suggestion.>What kind of games do you like? Ones with great stories and characters that truly make me feel immersed into another world. Preferably something I could play on switch, 3ds or phone since I'd like to play in bed. My like of thinking is that if a game world truly truly immerses me then for at least a short time I can lose myself in it and forget the problems I have in the real world. Thank you for wanting to help, anon. You have always been kind to me here. You may make me cry!>>79988100>Maybe try writing a happy short story!Hmmm... is Mio your waifu? I could try and write (you) a short story of a cute, married domestic life with her or something like that?
>>79988151What kind of fantasy worlds do you live in?Hmmm, you do not have to write a story of Mio and I, but maybe it would be nice to see a random slice-of life story about her. Some facts about Mio so you can get a feel for what she is like:>She is a prototype android living on a comfy island.>She likes tending to the farm.>She likes lazing around at home when she doesn't have to laze at the farm. >She lives with some friends in her cozy little home. >She has combat functions with her mech augments. Azur Lane comes to mind as a comparison.l for what that might look like.Sorry, I don't know too much about the Mio lore since I can't read Japanese.
>>79988151https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxdYQvLeBKk this album cheers me up every time I listen to it. I think it has some kind of healing effect. You might not find it useful but I figured I'd recommend it anyway.>Ones with great stories and characters that truly make me feel immersed into another world. Preferably something I could play on switch, 3ds or phone since I'd like to play in bed.Pentiment has a Switch port if I'm remembering right. It's a medieval murder-mystery VN-ish game. You might enjoy that. I got really into it when I played a few months ago.
>>79988151I see. Well, I may have some bits of metal music for when you're all angry at a later date. This was inspired by Mick Gordon's Doom music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8GHcoiOSLQThen some 40k inspired stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBioZdWX-dcUsually I listen to weebier stuff, things that are rather upbeat or weird.>Ones with great stories and characters that truly make me feel immersed into another world.I remember really enjoying OneShot, although that was a bittersweet story. Unfortunately that isn't on mobile or 3DS though. I'm actually very unfamiliar with either mobile or 3DS stuff though since I've just been on PC for so long.>My like of thinking is that if a game world truly truly immerses me then for at least a short time I can lose myself in it and forget the problems I have in the real world.I can be like that with games that have a lot of stuff to challenge me, I get focused on wanting to collect things too and I can spend an unhealthy amount of time playing something. Underrail might work also, it's an RPG and I think it maybe has an android port? Not sure. It's a good RPG if you get the chance to pick it up, I don't know how well it might immerse you though.>You have always been kind to me here. You may make me cry!Of course, I'm always happy to help B^) but it'd be counterintuitive if I made you cry by doing that. Gotta keep those spirits up.Have a cool and beautiful butterfly, the green dragontail butterfly. One of the most interesting ones in my opinion although I'm learning about skipper butterflies now and they're also cool. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamproptera_megeshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LCJNBn3qTwAlthough, I'm not sure if I've shared this with you before -- I know I have shared them in the thread before.
>>79988204>What kind of fantasy worlds do you live in?Depends on the song I'm listening to. Often times it's me being super cool, strong, powerful, smart, reliable and level-headed. In some sort of JRPG-like setting where I'll have a bunch of friends and party members. I save them sometimes and they save me some other times. I'll be with fictional characters or real people I like sometimes. Basically just imagining myself in games/settings I enjoy. How about you?Hmmm thinking. A story of Mio perhaps finding a wounded cat out in the farm and tending to it's wounds. Learning how it feels to care for another living being?>>79988243Thank you for the rec, I'll check it out. Do you like VNs?>>79988327PC is of course the best. I just enjoy rotting in my bed. The comfort of blankies. You are kind for always being happy to help! It's probably basic, but I like morphos. Very beautiful butterflies. Striking really.
>>79988461The PC master race B^). The talk of comfy blankies makes me want to go lay down wrapped up in some, but it's so hard to play and be cozy like that. That one image of the guy with the CRT monitor being kept up by two tables is very enticing right now.>You are kind for always being happy to help!The kinder we all are, the better it is for everyone of course.>It's probably basic, but I like morphos. Very beautiful butterflies. Striking really.Sometimes the really popular things are great for a good reason B^), the blue morphos and their color is structural too which is the same sort of thing opals have to give them their play of color or how oil can seem to shift colors on the surface of a puddle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_colorationMost animals that have blue coloration actually have to rely on structural color to make it blue -- including us humans. We have no blue pigments for our eyes, the blue comes from the structure of collagen within our eyes and the lack of any other pigment. When you have the genes for blue eyes and yellow pigment then you'll get green eyes too, like mine B^). Have a picture of a nice, synthetic opal.Also Slay The Spire is very addictive. I've been playing a lot of it.
>>79988461>How about you?Closest thing I had to a fantasy world in my head were the fun scenarios I imagined with my tulpas. (Yes I did dabble in tulpamancy for a few years.) Oh, that just reminded me. Some of my old fantasy worlds culminated in me writing short stories about them, but they are stuck on some old hard drive that I'm too lazy to set up. Oh well... maybe I should buy a hard drive reader.>Hmmm thinking. A story of Mio perhaps finding a wounded cat out in the farm and tending to it's wounds. Learning how it feels to care for another living being?Oh, that would be wonderful! I think that's a sweet idea.
>>79988461>Do you like VNs?I do but I need to play more of them. The last one I played was Clannad and I enjoyed that a lot but I still need to finish it.Pentiment is closer to Professor Layton or a LucasArts adventure game than a typical VN. I tend to prefer those.
>>79988461>Do you like VNs?Not meant for me, but I do! I am currently reading Aokana and ChronoClock but progress is slow because I get bored easily. Atri is my favorite VN! I watched the anime adaptation recently and it was wonderful.
I feel better now wahoo thank you everyone>>79988511You should definitely get some blankies. I love them and they're cute but I was never one for hugging plushies much. Blankies are far more comfortable. >The kinder we all are, the better it is for everyone of course.Yep yep that is true!I have green eyes too, aren't we so special? Thanks for telling me your facts.>>79988528I could never get into tulpas... I wish I could, and sometimes I wish I was more delusional. I think writing stories is nice and good. I only write fanfiction honestly. >>79988531I love Clannad a lot. I also love Professor Layton a lot. I know you haven't finished Clannad yet but please allow me to shill my favourite story ever: The House in Fata Morgana. Specifically A Requiem for Innocence, which is the prequel but you're not supposed to read it until you've finished the main story. I adore that story with all of my heart. I think about it daily. I could sperg about it endlessly.
>>79989040Hard to make use of blankets most of the year here, I'm afraid. I do have this kind of worn out blanket that's definitely older than me. It even has some holes in it (:. Usually I just have a sheet to sleep with, thin and I don't get too hot at night since it can easily be in the upper 80s to low 90s for some summer nights here.>I have green eyes too, aren't we so special? Thanks for telling me your facts.Happy to share B^), also if I remember correctly green eyes are either the rarest or one of the rarest eye colors. Rarer than blue eyes, so in a sense we are special.Have some fuzzy wasps that are called ants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet_antTheir stings are quite powerful, they have a nickname in the Southwestern US of "cowkiller". If I had to guess that nickname came from cows maybe freaking out from the pain and hurting themselves. Despite the terrifying sting they're actually quite docile and people like to keep them as pets.

B^) don't expect much quality with my videos though.>they look like they're glowing! i didn't know there were freshwater versions of stingraysThey're really pretty and oh yeah! There's two main groupings of them iirc. One group is in southeast asia and actually has a massive species, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_freshwater_stingrayI remember finding out about them as a kid with river monsters. Iirc in that episode they dealt with one getting ready to give birth too. They're one of many kinds of fishes that give live birth.The other group is in South America, and I imagine they became freshwater during the same time it seems their river dolphins and the Amazonian manatee did. PBS eons recently did an amazing episode covering the period of time when water flowed inland from the sea in South America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul8UhpNzFcM>are they dangerous?Shouldn't be, but the sting is gonna be painful if you do get stung. Most stingray stings aren't dangerous and I think some you can actually inactivate the venom with vinegar too -- but I might be thinking of box jellyfish stinger cells with that.>>79989173rip.

But that might have been a previous leak.>but here's concept art of cacturne that came from itI think Cacturne was my first pokemon by one metric. When I was a kid they sold these things called Waps, which were just stackable plastic squares.

If it's wired (fibre or copper), 20 or 30mbps is probably fine. Cellular is probably fine as well but less reliable. Satellite internet tends to be quite bad but I've heard good things about Starlink and the speeds offered with that can get pretty high. It might be worth exploring if that works out any cheaper.
You can't make fall in love with in a woman unless it's Randal Vi Ivory in drag.
>>79994633>>79994720Thank you for the responses bros
I slept better yesterday so I was not as cranky today. It really does pay dividends to have a good sleep schedule. I hope you are maintaining yours.
>>79995580>I hope you are maintaining yours.Not at all. It's all over the place at the moment but I'm not feeling too bad about it.
Why don't you anons have gfs? Don't you know JBW is law?

>>79996361>hey EikiHello>how is ur paper going?I'm very lazy and haven't written much. But I have planned out the structure of it.I read somewhere that my office is open 24 hours so I'm thinking about going to it in the evenings to try and get some work done.
>>79996551How many words do you need to write?
>>79997096There isn't really a set length for it and it depends what kind of journals my supervisor wants to send it to. Generally these things tend to be 10,000-20,000 words long or 30+ pages. I'm a long way from that.
>>79994356>spoilerWell, if you're autistic that can explain it. Most autists either have next to no libido or a very high one. It's very polarized for us.>Yeah, those funny guys.Well, I got to learn that they're hermaphrodites yesterday thanks to you bringing them up B^).>Well, it's hard to say. I'm a kind of person who falls in love randomly but I do have a likeness for silly chaotic characters such as him. The fact that he's completely unhinged also plays a role. Also cute glasses cute long ginger hair and gakuran.I had to look up what a gakuran is, and now I'm ashamed that my weeb knowledge did not extend that far. Are there any other characters that you like even if not as strongly as Randal?>>79994597A streamer I watch uses Starlink, but I don't know if he uses a business connection or not from them. It worked out pretty well for him but he did lose connection a few times(he was using it in a country that didn't have it available too, Serbia).>>79995224What if Randal was turned into a woman?

I have realised recently that I've felt misunderstood a lot of my life. I hate misunderstandings and I also simply like reading and writing, so that's made me become quite a rambly and verbose person through text. I feel like I have to explain myself often. This worries me slightly as whilst not a problem here on 4chan, I realise I can't just send paragraphs to everyone and expect them to read it all and still want to talk to me. At the same time I enjoy having more "live-chats" (not sure how to describe?) rather than more pen-pal type things where we both write a lot to each other but because of that also take a while to respond. I don't want to overwhelm people and send too much. >>79989138Yep, green eyes are the rarest! I always get compliments on mine so I'm grateful. Those ants look cool.>>79989167Fanficiton can be nice. There's honestly lot of good writers on shit like AO3, but they're not taken seriously because it's just fanfic. >>79991854>Should I get it on the switch so I can play in bed?Yes. The switch version comes with almost everything, so it includes Requiem and some short stories. If you do end up read it I beg of you to talk about it with me. I love it so much. I'm obsessed.>>79992124That sounds cool anon.>>79996413I want friends first too. What are you like anon?
>>79998382>I have realised recently that I've felt misunderstood a lot of my life. I hate misunderstandings and I also simply like reading and writing, so that's made me become quite a rambly and verbose person through text.that's nicebeing verbose is a great talent 2 havei wish i were more verbose 2, but my style has evolved 2 b short concise and.>I realise I can't just send paragraphs to everyone and expect them to read it all and still want to talk to me.How well can u yap verbally?>At the same time I enjoy having more "live-chats" wut do u mean by "Live chats"? Stuff like instant messaging?
>>79998459>being verbose is a great talent 2 haveIs it? I think it's sorta a bad thing. I'm bad at summarising because of the aforementioned fear of misunderstandings. I feel like people are becoming more and more low attention span (especially people around my age I'm 21) so I worry no one is gonna pay attention to me or something like I guess. Why do you wanna be more verbose?Also damn that's a pretty Kaguya.>How well can u yap verbally?Uhhh probably not that well, I dunno. I'm generally pretty quiet irl. When I do talk I think I'm just normal.>Stuff like instant messaging?Yeah I guess. So it feels more like we're there at the same time and I'm not waiting, something like that.
>>79998382How have you felt misunderstood? Reading and writing is also pretty nice, I've thought about writing books and I actually have a whole folder of story ideas that I haven't actualized any of. As for the rambly and verbosity, as long as you know when to just lighten up in a conversation then it doesn't need to be so bad. If you're talking to people instead of writing too then it's a lot easier, although I haven't been in a voice call in months.>I realise I can't just send paragraphs to everyone and expect them to read it all and still want to talk to me.I send Eiki anon walls of text every now and then about rant shit and he doesn't seem to mind so much B^).In a good conversation with someone though you'll find that people who're interested in what you're talking about will be fine with the ranting. Just be ready for them to not have the most engaged response otherwise.>Yep, green eyes are the rarest! I always get compliments on mine so I'm grateful. I've gotten a few compliments on mine but I rarely go out and they're unfortunately a dark green. In bright light though I've been told my eyes look really nice but I hate bright lights B^)>Those ants look cool.They're wasps who lost their wings, which is pretty much what ants did. You should see the blue death feigning beetles(who I've seen housed with velvet ants before peacefully).
>>79998265>other creative hobbiesi have, they're not really for mei can't draw for my damn life, always too broke to learn anything music related, and i'm too clueless to learn other creative shitbest i can do is conjure up dreams and write them down, poorly i might add, lol>>79998382>What are you like anon?lol, that's such a broad questionin a friendship context, i'm usually cautious at first and i don't give chase, but i appreciate when others reach out, i tend to do my best to keep talks goingi tend to get attached too quickly so i also do my best to hold my horses on that endonce i forge a bond with someone though (it usually takes a few years at least), it lasts foreverwhoever makes friends with me will always have a place in my heart, as past friends do, as my current (and only) friend doesi'll strive to empower my friends but i do banter a lot and can be a dickhead about a lot of things, lolalso do expect some raw honesty from me, i don't mince words usually and see no reason to lieuh, i hope that's what you meant, lolif not then please do clarify
>>79998503>Why do you wanna be more verbose?i feel like i come off as uninterested when I respond with short sentencesalso people misunderstand me all the time as well. but it's not because of summaries, but because my vocabulary is lacking and because my speech is usually rather unclear...>Uhhh probably not that well, I dunno. I'm generally pretty quiet irl. When I do talk I think I'm just normal.why do u think u r unable 2 apply what u can do in text verbally?>Yeah I guess. So it feels more like we're there at the same time and I'm not waiting, something like that.stuff like discord, yeah?>>79998535u could give music another go once u have the money!
>>79998709>another goanon i never even tried, lolbut i mean i guess i could, maybe i'll learn bassalways wanted to play the bassfor now i'll stick to writing though, but how about you, do you have any creative hobbies like that?
>>79998509>How have you felt misunderstood?Ahh in so many ways. It's hard to give concrete examples though. I don't want to sound like I'm oh so special and unique, but I feel like I am generally unrelatable to most people and that most people (especially my peers and grils) view me as weird. I don't like it. It makes me feel alone.I think you should write books anon. Just make it exist first, you can make it good later.>you'll find that people who're interested in what you're talking about will be fine with the ranting.Maybe you're right. I can't help but worry though. "Am I bothering them?" "Are they getting bored of me?" "Did I sperg too much" etc are thoughts I have often. >unfortunately a dark greenThat's not unfortunate, I'm sure they're pretty. Mine are light green and well you know eyes reflect light and stuff so sometimes they look blue, other times gray etc. I hate bright lights too. I love darkness. In my old apartment my old boss had to visit one time and he saw that I had zero lights (because that's my preference) but he was so worried about me that he even gave me one of his old lights, lol. Kind of him to do but I just honestly like living in darkness. I must be a vampire. Also I don't know if you know this but light eyes do actually see worse in brightness and better in the dark. The sun easily blinds me to the point where it can be dangerous.>blue death feigning beetlesI assume that's what you posted a picture of. It's cool lookin. >>79998535Yeah, I tend to get attached quickly too. You say lol a lot, lol. What are your interests?
>>79998709Yeah to be honest I do assume someone is uninterested when they respond with short sentences. But if you reassure them that you are interested, read everything, want them to keep going etc I'm sure it'll be fine. Maybe reading more could help you, I dunno. I read a lot. Not books though. I should read more books.>why do u think u r unable 2 apply what u can do in text verbally?Hmm well in text I can think out exactly what I want to say. With voice you respond asap kinda thing. It's more quick overall?>stuff like discord, yeah?Yeah I guess. Us both being active at the same time and responding at the same time.
>>79998869I can relate, I've never fit in but I am also a sperg and my interests are often very divorced from what everyone else cares about too. Girls aren't too interested in nerdy guys either, so I can definitely relate on that front. If a girl wants a nerdy guy then what I've found is what they want is a guy with a lot of accolades. They don't care for who he is, as they really don't care about what he has to say(or talk about in relation to his interests), they just want someone with status. I've gotten pretty used to being alone though, it's become comforting.>I think you should write books anon. Just make it exist first, you can make it good later.I should but I also have so much other stuff I have for making stuff B^). Videos, games, science projects, etc..>Maybe you're right. I can't help but worry though. "Am I bothering them?" "Are they getting bored of me?" "Did I sperg too much" etc are thoughts I have often.All too relatable.For me, my eyes will look yellow in a bright light. Probably for the same reason they're such a dark green color, so much of the yellow pigment is in them. Also that's a cute story with your boss. I do wish vampires were real though, I'd fit right in B^).>I assume that's what you posted a picture of. It's cool lookin.Yup! That blue stuff is a wax actually to help keep them from drying out, so it can rub off. They'll make new wax if you do that though but it's not recommended as they are a desert species. Very docile beetles too.Also on story ideas, let me know what you think of the concept of a "disguised alien hitchhiker" story. (^:
>>79998869>You say lol a lot, lol.yeah, by now it's like a chuckle or somethingfeels more natural than saying "haha" i guess, keeps things lighter>What are your interests?the usual bullshit like games, anime/manga (though not as much nowadays, i guess), technology, and some more normie shit like cooking and cycling (and maintaining the bicycle)i also like to waste my life in this site having a nice chat with people as i'm usually fairly lonelyhow about you, what are you like?p.s. i also have trouble with being misunderstood, had it for a long timeit's why i often write a lot, i usually hate leaving things open to interpretation because often times, that doesn't end wellside effect is that i enjoy writing nowalso...>I can't help but worry though. "Am I bothering them?" "Are they getting bored of me?" "Did I sperg too much" etc are thoughts I have often.have you tried asking people when those thoughts come up?
I had a rest and woke up about 10 hours earlier than usual. Hopefully I can be productive again. I've not even been slacking off right for the last week or so.>>79998265>how many chapters will it have?No chapters, but four sections not including the introduction and conclusion.>>79998382>If you do end up read it I beg of you to talk about it with me.Will do. Seems like it's a little more expensive on the Switch than on Steam so I'll keep an eye out for a sale.
There's only one image left for this thread (I think) who's gonna claim it oh my gah not me>>79998942I'd be surprised if anyone here on r9k couldn't somewhat relate. I know you're interested in bugs and stuff, what else? >I've gotten pretty used to being alone thoughI wish that was me. To an extent almost everyone needs people, it's human nature, but I feel like I need people more than others. I guess I couldn't blame it all on my family and my upbringing, heh. Sounds immature to do but ultimately that's what it all comes down to, right? I've tried isolating myself and trying to be a cool, stoic, independent person who enjoys being alone and that's just not me. It's not in my heart. >I also have so much other stuff I have for making stuff B^)Yeah... that's the problem isn't it. For that reason I try to just stick to drawing myself. I'd rather be good at one particular thing than be okay at a ton of different stuff. But then I look at (mainly Japanese) people who make their own music, draw their own stuff, write their own stories and I'm just like... how!? It puts me in awe. >science projectsSuch as?>All too relatable.Well if it means anything to you, I haven't thought any of those things about you.>I do wish vampires were real thoughThey are... >:). Yer making me curious about what your eyes look like anon, but I'm not gonna ask you to doxx yourself to satiate my curiosity.>is a waxOh that makes sense.As for that concept, I dunno sorry, I'd need more details.
>>79998956>feels more natural than saying "haha"Kek I say haha through text lol.What games and animus do you like? Cooking is a good thing to enjoy. I like chatting with anons here too. It's what keeps me coming back. And damn do I want to talk a LOT recently.As for me I'm uhhh lonely sperg weirdo. I like VNs and engaging in stories. I like vocaloid. Otaku. I don't know, what else do I say about myself? I ask other people what they're like all the time but when I myself am asked I'm like "wait, who the FUCK am I?". I find it difficult to have an objective view of myself I guess.And yeah, I can relate to you in that regard with what you said. I think we may have talked before in the attachment styles thread...>have you tried asking people when those thoughts come up?I'm too scared to... >>79999045>I'll keep an eye out for a sale.It's on sale often. You can install the "Remaid" patch for the steam version to get all content but I don't know much about that as I played on switch. When it is next on sale I WILL be shilling it on this thread. Pinnacle of fiction. Ficiton's greatest. Peak of all time. I mean I'm mostly exaggerating for the keks but... that's how I feel about it.
>>79999234I'm interested in tons of stuff relating to biology and STEM in general. Some art stuff and vidya development too. I've had ideas about making cool jewelry and art pieces too. How about you?Family and upbringing can influence it, but ultimately a part of you will always come out over time the longer you're away from those influences. I've found that I became much more like I was personality wise as a little kid the longer I spent away from others. Independent, overly curious, dreaming about stuff all of the time and so on. Do you wish you had a lot of friends, anon? Or just some that understand you better?>drawingI wish I had some talent for that. Sadly my hands aren't the best for fine details. As for those people who do so much, it's all about dedicating themselves to it and getting lost in it. I think only something like 200 hours is needed to be alright at something, 10k hours is the mark that people tend to master a thing. If you draw your own stuff and want to write though then you could definitely make your own VN B^).>Such as?Well, one that I'm going to be doing somewhat soon is breeding my micro bladder snails(which I inadvertently selective bred trying to kill them to be super small) to deal with super saline and acidic conditions. Other things go from nuclear power, super intelligent small animals, working on regenerative medicine and so on. Do you have a lot of dream projects, fren?>Well if it means anything to you, I haven't thought any of those things about you.B^) hell yeah, you're pretty relatable too.>They are... >:). Yer making me curious about what your eyes look like anon, but I'm not gonna ask you to doxx yourself to satiate my curiosity.wew, I hate taking pictures of myself too and I haven't seen my phone in months.>As for that concept, I dunno sorry, I'd need more details.Basically an ayy lmao comes down, with a very good kind of holographic disguise and hitchhikes in the desert. 1/2
>>79999258>I say haha through textnothing against that, i just don't really say it myselfyou're good>What games and animus do you like?hmm... hard to say on anime/manga because it's been a whilesome of my favorites include gurren lagann, hellsing, bleach, recently been following chainsaw man and enjoyed dandadanon games, i like base building/automation stuff, like factorio, satisfactory, oxygen not included, as well as some rpgs too, like god of war, the witcher series, deus ex, hollow knight, ender lilies, oneshot (recently became a favorite) etc.i also enjoy mixes of those, like terraria, core keeper, necesse too>Cooking is a good thing to enjoy.indeed, i should be trying a new recipe in a couple days toopretty excited for that>And damn do I want to talk a LOT recently.well i'll be here, as well as other anons, you're in good company in these threads>lonely sperg weirdo.lovely, now we're talking>VNs and engaging in stories.that's why you posted hisui then, huh?i'm yet to play the remake but i played the og tsukihime a long time agoit was pretty good>I find it difficult to have an objective view of myselfit is a broad question after all, i threw it back at you because i was curious what you'd say, lolinteresting response>I think we may have talked before in the attachment styles thread...if that was you then i'll reinforce my wishes that you find someone who cherishes your company>I'm too scared to... trust me, it's better to take the plunge than beat yourself up over it, the harm can result in you pushing them away and draining your moodnot worth it, muster up the courage and ask
>>799992342/2The POV is from the driver and his friends in the car and they talk for a while with the strange person who asks them all kinds of weird questions. After they drop him off, the disguise glitches for a second and freaks them out. Not too scary of a story, but one that could be made to be on a place like /x/ as realistic(kind of) fiction.

Switch sales are a little less obvious so I will appreciate it when you let me know.>>79999487>have u written the introduction yet?Some of it.

Right now the top 3 are Zera from LHC, Shingo Umoregi from Akuma-kun and Bridget from Guilty Gear.>What if Randal was turned into a woman? Would all of the appeal be lost?To me personally? Probably not, Randal is a kind of character who is really hard to hate, unless he's so mischaractarized that he no longer resembles himself. There's plenty of people in the western part of Ranfren fandom who believe he's a transman for whatever reason. I've once seen a fanart where he's an adult with metoidoplasty (i.e. clitoris enlargement to make it resemble a dick). Gross stuff.
