>WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING?
Mo Dao Zu Shi, it's a chinknime adapted from a novel taking place in a fictional wuxia setting with several clans watching over their respective region to exorcise ghosts and demons that appear because of "resentful energy"
The setting is a bit similar to Naruto since the various clans can attack and conquer each other, and the plot resembles Avatar the Last Airbender in that the most powerful clan wants to bully others around
the story follows Wei Wuxian who is adopted by one of the clan heads because he is the son of the clan head's crush but he had to marry a woman he doesn't love for politics
anyways Wei is a chaotic "free spirit" Black Star/Naruto/Onizuka kind of character but not as goofy, and he contrasts with Lan who is more mature, wise, always disciplined, always calm

I really enjoyed the first season and I'm now binging the second, but it turns out the original novel was a BL story, which doesn't at all transpire through the animated series because based CCP's censorship laws

>WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST?

Actually, the robot torso (Lain's "father") from the lesser-known PlayStation game is lifted directly from Key the Metal Idol, I believe Lain's character designer directly lampshades the fact in one of his artbooks. I've definitely seen crossover fanart of the two shows from around the time the anime came out, on one of those old ".ne.jp" sites, but I can't find it on the boorus and tracking it down on Google is totally out of the question as of two or three years ago.
It makes me a little sad to see all the anime I grew up with become the appropriated "nostalgia" of e-girl poseurs who find reprehensible everything about the original culture surrounding and generating those shows. I would rather old characters be lost to the sands of time rather than be Frankensteinishly revived and kept on life support with TikTok and ugly eating disorder fanarts.

Merry Christmas. I'm an anon from 8chan, and we are organizing our inter-board Christmas event. This project aims to gather around anons from different imageboard and anonymous communities from all around internet during a weekend and celebrate Christmas together. The planned date is December 14 and 15 and it's going to be here https://8chan.moe/christmas you can make your "embassy" thread talking about your IB, its history and local memes.

I hope to see you there. If you have any other questions please make me know, I'll be more than grateful to answer.

It's certainly worse, such as it is. At least it has less influence than 8chan did when it got corrupted by the glownigger, so there's that at least.
Replies: >>2821

>>2820
Nah, it's far better than 8prime, to begin with, the source code is far better, it has better infrastructure and global moderation does care about small boards. And in regards of influence, it's growing slowly, pretty much everybody knows it's just a matter of time before 4chan fucks something up and it gets a migration at the same level of gamergate in 2014.

>Prozac mentioned
It's neat to see him here. Prozac and Nobody are two enigmas that have never been cracked. I remember when Prozac used to cycle what was on the site every few months. I wonder what he's doing nowadays. Somebody on IA posted all of the YouTube season and first season of Nobody, though he's missing the second season and a certain movie. I hope no one on YouTube ever brings eyes on them. Years ago, Prozac and Nobody lashed out at that poo who recently covered /late/.
theres this weird site/artpiece/schizo rambling collection thing called "Spook...."  . i dont think its "real", maybe some sort of early ARG/viral guerrila marketing or just weird art. the way i found it was on an ancient " /x/ creepy stuff iceberg" image, when they used to be good. the guy who did it is this fairly small artist from nyc that has done other art pieces at museums and some stuff online and seems to be active on ig. if you go on it youll understand better but it says that it was started as a project because this guy who ran an artzine back in the late 90s early 00s got a bunch of pings from a military email/ip and decided to track it(? im bad at computers) and it was basically looking at a bunch of schizo conspiracy and alien stuff. mostly alien stuff. it goes seriously deep , you can follow links that go into links for dozens of pages and different sites from back in the old internet. some of the pages are berry shrimple containing just links, some seem to be unrelated govt agencies (like a generic science grant money agency, for example), one page i got had like 20.000 word manifesto of some "alien truth" group called the nexus/nexus 7(???). about 20-25% of the links dont work anymore. artpiece or legitimate, its super creepy/interesting and has a real Deus ex vibe to it. Heres a link to it. browse at your own risk, but i think its safe(?)

I still have it bookmarked, but it doesn't work anymore and I don't think it will come back sadly.

It's in Japanese...you can find some of it archived (for now), but then you'd have to translate it on top of that. I need to learn Japanese.

It seemed like a live chat thingy, I don't know if it was structured around specific topics or what.

Anyway, when I do view the archived version, I see someting that was from the 90's, so I get that melancholic nostaligic whatever you wanna call it feeling.

Man I am so pumped for winter this year. Cant fucking wait, fuck summer, fuck humidity, fuck bugs. I just wanna be bundled up in my cool winter clothes and just be comfy as shit. If none of you have ever been winter camping, its worth it, just make sure you have the proper gear.

Sounds comfy!

Well it's finally tapering off the long stretch of 100-110+ temp days now, and it's pretty comfy-cool at nights. So yeah, nice time of year.
>>2494
>If none of you have ever been winter camping, its worth it
Yeah I've done that many times, it's the best.

>just make sure you have the proper gear.
Ehh, doesn't take much tbh.

*  STAY HYDRATED!111!!ONE!!!  Winter can be exceedingly dry, so you can dehydrate w/o really noticing it -- especially if you're exerting yourself (like climbing up hills).
*  LAYERS  If it's frigid, just bring a bunch of socks, shirts, pants to add more layers.
*  BOOTS  It's very important to keep your feet warm & dry. Have good wool socks on hand. BTW, if you lose feeling in your toes, YOU'RE HAVING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY...
Deal with it immediately!!
*  High-calorie nommies like chocolate trail mix is essential for comfy times in the wilderness.
*  Hot choco or other nice beverages, too (see above).
*  Strictly limit alcohol. None at all is even better.  :)
*  A good hunting knife. Essential for every man anyway, so yeah.

Let's talk about torrenting and such.

I want to start with a question. 
What's your preferred torrent client and why? 
On my end I use QbitTorrent cause i don't know any better.

thepiratebay.org for movies and films is one of the best.

rtorrent which is a terminal client

The worst part about getting sick is how it fucks up your circadian rythm. After being bedridden for a day and a half I need to somehow get back in bed and get enough sleep to make it through work tomorrow. And with my luck going to work on five hours of sleep will just make me get sick again.

Feel better; and I hear ya. 

I usually just try to hide and ride it out on cold meds but that doesn't always work depending on your coworkers and their density. It's rough pretending to care on hangover or sniffles days!

Winter always fucks up my circadian rhythm, then once daylight savings hits, good-night. I'm tired all the time and feel like I'm running a fever.

This is a thread for talking about music. Not necessarily sharing it. I never feel like I have an opportunity to talk about music.

I was listening to Vashti Bunyan in my car the other day, and it didn't sound as good as it usually does through my headphones, and I think it was the acoustics. In David Byrne's book he talks about that music used to be made to be listened to on front porches or in concert halls, then it was made to be listened to on sound systems. He then speculates that it will soon catch up to the present and be made to listen to in the unique acoustic environment of a headphone. I think that already happened by accident. Off the top of my head Vashti Bunyan and Nick Cave come to mind as musicians who flew under the radar until the headphone age, and while certainly the internet has played a major role in that, I think, moreso, it's that their ethereal vocals and strong melodies read with such a beautiful clarity through the acoustics of headphones, when played in a room it sounds muddy.

It likely would have experienced a resurgence with soyjak.party newfags and then Gamergate 2. It would have continued being the big 4chan alternative. Jim would be making money off of it.

All those pipe dreams ITT presupposes that the tech wouldn't crap its pants like a inbred Habsburg attending rave and was actually updated. Remember how shit Infinity became over time? This is why the cripple hired N00l as sole developer of Infinity Never to begin with. I will ignore his actual motive for joining the Infinity dev team of finding out who was talking shit about him on /cow/ so I can rant more about Image board software Therefor I think it is impossible to have any idea how the culture would have changed over the last 5 years, because the the site itself would be different. For starters there might had been a working over board. Do you have any idea what a blessing this would have been? There would be more communities besides /pol/, /cow/ and /v/. Soyack.party newfags would have filled the place with shit that feel edits. What some don't even know that the soyack party itself was a good target for mockery due to its sped admins. Then there are the people involved. You have no idea how Mork and Nepfag would have reacted to a flood of tourists or how CM would have run the place if the cripple didn't sabotaged it by criminial means. Yeah, there is a reason why he is living in California instead of the "best country in the world" right now.

>When a site goes offline, some of the users never come back because they are posting in that forum or imageboard out of habit. And when it disappears, they don't search a new one because they lost interest a long time ago.

The alien thread has gotten me nostalgic for some good old fashioned conspiracy theories. Nowadays it's all just commodotized creepypastas and political shitflinging, which is fucking laaaaame.

What are some of your favorite conspiracy theories of the more obscure or classic varieties? Thought provoking, entertaining, or just weird.

The more schizo, convoluted, detailed, and overcomplicated the better.

I took a look at your book and wrote a longpost but it dead together with expired captcha, so I'll condense it to a sentence and a quesstion.

S: This book isn't about psychology, it is a whistleblower's report about governments being the main source of all crime, which actually is obvious if you give it a thought.
Q: What did you want to say and what exactly I were supposed to learn from this book?

Anime reminds me too much of my teen years. Severely unwell, staying up late watching Adult Swim, emotionally living through cartoons on the screen. If I start to get invested in an anime I can feel my head getting teleported back to that time and it'll mess me up for days. I usually avoid watching any of it now. I'm a grown man with a wife, kids, a career. I have my shit together, but there's something hidden in me I don't really think or talk about that reacts strongly to it. I spent many years getting comfortable in my depression and can feel it calling me to revert back into a type of sadsack that's entirely below me now. Seeing the big, interwoven friendships in anime are the worst part. I always wanted a devoted group of friends when I was growing up and was too isolated to have it. I tried to pull people together, but I was always the "optional" member in those groups throughout gradeschool. By the time I became somebody people flock to, my life was moving too fast to fit in much of anybody outside of my family. I have a beautiful life now with very little to complain about. I'll have my oldest friend over to grill on occasion. I get meaning from mentoring young men who have no idea I'm even capable of feeling this way. I just can't watch Evangelion without feeling like I'm 14 again and nothing has changed.

Interesting case. While I think all male souls have some tendencies in these directions, yours seems a bit extreme IMO. Shouldn't feel surprised though that you feel you 'have little time' now. Kinda obvious effect when you leave behind copious introspection in life.

Glad you've 'found your way' in life. Just don't forget your roots, and remember there's a God above. Cheers, Anon.  :)
