>I feel like the "no blatant advertising rule" might potentially be strained by such a thread.
Yes, that's why I'm still not sure about the idea of a dedicated thread.
On one hand, this wood provide a kind of containment thread for this type of request (which wood not escape moderation, of course, according to the obvious rules of /comfy/ness). But on the other hand, I fear that this wood have a knock-on effect and that anything wood be posted there, even things that are not comfy at all.
That's why I can't really make up my mind. In general, I delete stupid, hastily posted ads, but I leave those that have made a minimum effort (such as saying “hello /comfy/”) for a little while.

And above all, don't apologize for expressing legitimate concerns about these kinds of issues. You are far from being rude, and as BO, I attach great importance to maintaining a certain standard on this board, so I listen to eberryone's suggestions and do my best to find compromises when I think it's necessary. So thanks for caring anon :)

>>16972
I hope you enjoy your week.  It can be difficult to find the right balance between relaxation and activity. Good luck!

I'm habby for you anon, taking time for yourself is important.
And I think you have the right idea, leisure hobbies are best enjoyed at a spontaneous pace.
Do you have a goal in mind after you understand the fundamentals or is it more for the creative outlet.
Either way I hope you have great week off.

I ended up blowing a bunch of money ordering a new ThinkPad. Maybe it's overkill considering what I'm going to be using it for, but I wasn't really satisfied with a lot of what seems to be on offer as far as used computers go. For what you're paying a lot of them don't seem to be that great relative to what was available back when I bought my last one.

At least this one seems like it could be a decent backup in case anything ever habbens to my desktop computer.

>>16977
The second hand market can be hit or miss, however if you weren't satisfied with what was available the extra money for something that will suit your needs is a good investment.
Congrats on your new thinkpad.

>>16978
I think a lot of it comes down to inflation combined with the rising costs of computer parts. I'm kind of uncomfortable with buying newer laptops though, since I'm more of a beater guy. I don't need anything fancy if I'm just hooking it up to a TV to watch stuff on, and I'd rather have a dusty old machine that I'm less invested in keeping in good condition.

Still, I figured it was worth a try to splurge a bit given that my savings are getting eaten by inflation and that I'll at least have something a bit future proofed. Being around a decade newer, it's a bretty big jump ahead specwise.

I was actually briefly considering getting a mini PC but figured another laptop wood work better for my use case. It's nice to have another screen I can look down at when setting things up. I've still got a mini PC in mind for whenever my desktop starts to get old or unreliable, but luckily it's still bretty new and I'm completely satisfied with it.

>BTW do you have a link to the papercraft waifu creator?
Nope, I pulled it from an almost five year old post of another board.

I wonder how old must the tree in the last photo be. It appears to be more than a century old.

How long do you usually lay in ambush anon?

>>16946
For now, I cleaned it and it's staying on a shelf with other skulls I've found ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>16952
>tree
I wood guess it is around seventy years old, but I'm not an expert.  It's not a huge tree by any means.
>How long do you usually lay in ambush anon?
Of the trees? Not berry long, you can walk right up to them. Typicaly, four to six hours. Potentially, for as long as there is enough light to shoot, so around ten hours in mid November.  I am able to move and navigate at night, so I can arive or leave in complete darkness if I need to.  At times, I will walk around looking for deer in fields or other open areas instead of waiting somewhere.

My mom does this. She has an odd variety of things including a sea turtle's jaw and an elderly pet dog somebody euthanized.

I find the trick to staying in one place for long times is entertaining yourself. I normally listen to music through my hearing protection and, if I know it is going to be dry, I sometimes bring along my Gameboy. I can play turn comfy games without needing to devote much attention to them.

I wood suggest you reflect on whether this stifling comes from the unknown or a unprocessed emotion narrow down the contextualization.
Sometimes overthinking can be paralyzing as well.
Trying to find balance between idealism and self-criticism, however as long as your habby the rest is details. 
Best wishes with your troubles anon

I will be mindful of that. Things habben so quickly somedays it is easy to miss out on them.

Where is that picture from?

Which one?

>>16925
>Where is that picture from?
If you are talking about the subject, it is Anri from Dark Souls 3. Here, Anri is telling the ghost or spirit of his or her (Anri is always the opposite sex of the player) friend, Horace, and some orphan children they grew up with of the success of their lifelong, or perhaps deathlong, mission. Which wood be slaying Aldrich, the corrupt leader of a church who feasted on the flesh of the orphans and many others. Anri and Horace were the only children who escaped. Eventually, Aldrich ate so many people he bloated and ruptured into a mass of slime and rotting remains that the player can help Anri kill.  The art here is not a scene from the game, but the dialog of Anri speaking toward his or her dead companion is. It's a habby picture of a moment of peace for a character who has faced little but suffering. I'm aware that this explanation is 0% /comfy/ and I'm sorry.

As to the artist, I don't member getting it at all, but reverse searching leads me here:

A tale of heroic sacrifice and virtue. It is comfy without a doubt. We
must honor our past to be our comfiest.

May this one be the thread's opening:

  Where The Mind Is Without Fear, by Rabindranath Tagore 
  
  Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
  Where knowledge is free
  Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
  By narrow domestic walls
  Where words come out from the depth of truth
  Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
  Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
  Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
  Where the mind is led forward by thee
  Into ever-widening thought and action
  Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my anons awake.

Kobayashi Issa: A World of Dew

A world of dew,
And within eberry dewdrop
A world of struggle.

~4oz of pork belly sliced 1/8" thick in bite-size lengths 
1 whole medium chayote halved and cut into 1/8" slices
1 small shallot sliced as you please
1 minced clove of garlic
1 oz mirin
1/2 oz arbol/piquin b@sed hot sauce (whichever Mexican style hot sauce you like)
~ 1 tbsp unfortified nutritional yeast
~ 1 tbsp roasted squash seeds
date syrup to taste

I started by browning the pork belly in a skillet over medium-high heat and rendering off most of the fat.  I next removed the meat and then added the sliced chayote and let it cook for about two minutes. At that point, I flipped the slices around and I added in the shallot. I let that cook for a minute or so and then added the garlic.  After another minute or so of cooking, I added in the cooked pork, mirin, hot sauce, and yeast. I stirred eberrything until there were no visible clumps of yeast and moved it to a plate where the squash seeds and date syrup were added on top. This was realy good even if it sounds or looks odd.  I've been experimenting with nutritional yeast recently, and I'm finding it to be an interesting ingredient.  I think it has a lot more to offer than just being a vegan "cheese" flavor people dump on popcorn.

Sounds delicious! Now I wonder if I can find these here in Burgerland.

>>16884
I suppose I find it comical for some silly reason, but I wood have thought it was obvious I'm something of a burger myself. These can be found in a lot of big grocery store chains like Walmart. I'd look at somewhere like that first. A Mexican or some sort of central American grocery store wood be likely to have them as wood a grocer catering to southeast Asians. You might find them being sold under a different name depending on where you are shopping.

>>16884
>>16887
You could also order some from Amazon or whatever, but they wood be much more expensive and fresh food is easily damaged when shipped.
