/late/ - Late Nights

Oh yeah, some guy told me he tried watching Galactic Heroes with his brother and they both laughed at the naval combat in space for some reason. It was enough to make them drop the show.

finished watching the last 20 episodes of LOGH, it ended as i had suspected it would from the beginning, but it didnt make the feels any less intense, it has been a long time since an anime has made be feel genuine emotion, and now that i've finished the series, there is that feeling of loss that always accompanies finishing something truly great

>>3089
iktf. I was going to make a vapid food analogy, but I don't think that does LOGH justice. I don't really know how to put it eloquently that LOGH is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of anime as far as writing is concerned.

>>3084
>required watching
I know this is a must watch but I fail to gather enough motivation to start

>>3095
it is well worth the effort to start

Hello. What's your favorite fantasy series? Mine's Dragonlance's golden six, The Legends are especially good, just a fun quick read without too much noise. The Chronicles are good too, just a bit not so epic.

>>2746
Time is a scary monster.
My daily prayers help me get a grasp on it but as soon as I open a book or start working on something or start thinking time just dips.

>>2679 (OP) 
>What do you guys do before going to bed?
I turn off my PC and take medication. Sometimes, I work out. While in bed, I feel myself dip toward dreams as my mind wanders as a form of hypnagogia, so I try to think about pleasant or interesting things or nothing at all. It doesn't always work, and I have something like Exploding Head Syndrome when I feel myself going into dreams I know will be bad.
>Do you guys sleep well?
I only sleep well when I'm exhausted, drunk, sick, or injured. I think my bed is part of why I have this problem. I haven't had a consistently comfortable bed in years. I would be more comfortable sleeping on the ground or floor. When I wake up, I've forgotten who I am and feel free until I remember my responsibilities. With these responsibilities comes remembrance of who I am and what I have and done, and I'm suddenly pulled by a suffocating weight. At least my dreams are sometimes entertaining.
>I'm just thinking my own thoughts and I can't fall asleep
I have this issue when I'm on my back, yet I sleep best and have the most pleasant dreams when I'm tired enough to sleep that way.

Its March 4th, bros
You know what to do, lads.  :^)

>>3077
have you tried working out in the morning instead ?
this + cold showers substantially increased my sleep quality

>8chan and Voat were killed off at about the same time, but have their sequels in 8moe and poal.
<blacked.gov is the sequel to 8ch
But that's wrong you double-nigger. The WebRing -- not that fed glownigger honeypot -- is the spiritual successor to Freddit's babby.

>>3065
That's what I'm talking about, internet becoem an A.I slop land and dopamine addiction trap, people are too stuck on this addiction to realize how bad it is, and I'm too fighting against it. 

>I call someone a faggot online and now they try to ban or arrest me, instead of laughing it off and moving on with more important things.

That's sad, people are losing their career because of a simple comment or joke, I myself had problems with the law because of a simple joke I made in a chat with a friend. It was really traumatizating.

Internet it's really not the same anymore, I already use firefox and Ublock origin but I will starting using the other tools you mentioned, and yeah, definetly need to delete my social media.

In a way it just became the way real life always has been. You must always be careful and never speak or act "wrong" in public. Internet hasn't so much died as it was remade in the image of real life. Definitely not the best thing since sliced bread.

>>3074
'You must always be careful and never speak or act "wrong" in public.

This is obvious, nobody here is talking about being free to post bad things online. Most of the times you can get in trouble for a bad joke in a private conversation, which is ridiculous because that wouldn't happen in real life It's not normal, A.I slop doesn't happen in real life, it's not normal. Hyper sexualized content wasn't too normal in real life too. You clearly didn't read everything people here are saying.

Anymore I just dial in, get what I need, then log out. Now that everything we post gets slurped up for AI training everywhere - even people I work with are eating this AI nonsense up (and they should know better, they lost thousands on turdcoins last hype cycle). 
But not to be too much of a downer, real life is pretty great so I'll be spending my spring/summer outdoors!
But I do remember BBS access in the early 90's - video games on 386/486 PCs, finding out what anime was (Maison Ikkoku and Kimagure Orange Road), colleges had the goods!
Regular message boards and personal web pages were neat in Web 1.0. My parents made me buy my own dial up account because I was a net junkie and using up all the hours. 
Gnome darts was my favorite flash game, it vanished when Flash cycled out. Foamy / Ill Will Press was my jam for flash animation - they still have it on youtube but the new stuff looks like AI tinkering... plus I'm not in college anymore so it's probably not funny like when I was 21 and drunk. 
I dunno, just glad I checked out on Web 2.0 for the most part - I don't have socials haunting me and the people I did interact with were the real deal. I'd almost argue the Facebook/Instagram era was even worse than the short form video and Discord push right now. I don't envy kids trying to navigate any of it though. It reminds me of when videogames and movies switched to CG 20+ years ago - it was ROUGH for a while there; yikes.

>>2731
the tourists are a problem but i'm a bit thankful, i was on late.city years ago and lost the place but i recognized it in his video and found out we got moved to trashchan, it's good to be back!

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?

SI CREO

todos son unas gonorreas hipocritas perras

I don't believe in all of these, but I think they're interesting:
All of the significant figures of the Civil Rights Era were assassinated as a cleanup operation to move on to cults and serial killers, then religious fundamentalists, then teens. The pattern before this was with Southern revivalists, bandits, and organized criminals, in that order. This may go all the way back to Federalists versus Anti-Federalists or even Patriots versus Loyalists.

Quantum physics is developed and the ideas of alternate dimensions and time travel are propagated as a form of escapism because physics to that point indicated assured outcomes for every event, meaning determinism is correct and free will doesn't exist across time.

"Human" is an umbrella term used to describe chimeras of species of hominids. Some of these chimeras, such as the San, reached dead ends in concepts as simple as self awareness.

The prominence of cancer as a cause of death is due to both environmental pollution and the adoption of sedentary lifestyles, which themselves promote environmental pollution. The roots of cancer causing issues aren't tackled because cancer research is heavily tied to life extension research.

You could give yourself any mental illness. Many of the MK projects were meant to determine how people gained mental illnesses and what was required to induce them. People don't focus on how much worse the MK programs were in Canada after they were revealed in the US and UK.

Francis E. Dec's ramblings about gangster computer gods were banal criticisms against the US government and post-WW2 world order.

Jesus is an amalgam of figures just as Judaism is an amalgam of religions, but the god of both testaments is the same. He was an inevitable figure as Western religions pushed toward centralization, and similar figures existed beforehand but failed to gain wide audiences. Peter and Paul are two figures who were forcibly reconciled to maintain a Christian church.

my dog, i know he would be sad if i was gone

>>2951
Before I had any other reason to keep going, I was in a similay spot, but with a cat not a dog. My cat would wait at my door for me to come home from work and then follow me around the house. If I ever sat down, he would either lay on me or sit on my arm. I thought about eating lead a lot, but stopped because I realized if I died, my cat would be waiting at the door forever.
Please pet your dog for me.

>>2974
>My cat would wait at my door for me to come home from work and then follow me around the house.
ok this is cute
once my neighbour asked me to feed her cat while she was away and all i got for my trouble were scratches and hisses
been convinced that cats are just demons in the flesh ever since

>One that has become extremely common is people from outside the Southern U.S. saying "y'all." I don't know if they're aiming to sound black or more just folksy, but it sounds annoyingly affected coming from a Northerner. It's not like other groups don't have their own vernacular.
This. I literally grew up in the US South, and we used 'yall' frequently when specifying 'us' (or 'me') vs. 'them'. It's simply a language artifact for that part of the world, and isn't really reflective of a low-IQ, black mentality **(though as to the origin of the term 100+ years ago, who knows?)The actually low-intellect among us were fond of "you'uns" instead, which still gives me a chuckle today.

I certainly don't understand the forms & terms of proper English as many others (yourself included), but I can instantly pick up on the affectation you mentioned if it's inauthentic pandering. Can't even explain why really, but that's the case for me.

>>2980
>Don't forget the degenerate mods intentionally making things worse
Yeah, I'm sure they have a hand in it too.
>>2984
>The actually low-intellect among us were fond of "you'uns" instead, which still gives me a chuckle today.
I had an uncle whose family had some Irish ancestry (he had an Irish name and seemed to identify with Ireland, but I don't know how Irish his family tree actually was), and he used to say stuff like "youse guys" sometimes. He's the only person I've ever heard talking like that in real life. I thought it was just a Northeastern thing, but maybe not.

Saying "folks" (or, God forbid, "folx") all the time instead of "people" is another one. It's not really associated with a specific region the way "y'all" is, but it's used in a similar way to sound like one of the lowly commoners. And for a double whammy of inauthentiic signaling, you can use both in the same sentence.

No you're right, that's definitely a Southie (South-Boston, that is) thing. 

>Yall Folks
Heh. I can actually see me saying that (and authentically so) when I was young.

Haven't played it recently, but was reminded of it because I saw it on sale. I played Wild Hearts for free back when some stranger gave me a free game pass code. It's basically Monster Hunter, but you also build contraptions for dealing with enemies. The basic formula is that you build three smaller traps on top of one another and they combine into a larger one depending on what they are and what knowledge you have unlocked (which you get through epiphanies when doing certain actions while fighting large monsters). It also has some rudimentary base building you can do on all the maps to passively farm crafting/cooking materials, which is OK I guess. The weapons' movesets seem to be a lot more shallow than Monster Hunter's which is what the traps are supposed to make up for I guess. The only really fun weapon I played with was some wire-blade thing that made the game feel like Attack on Titan. It was really fun being airborne and orbiting monsters until lunging at them for big combo attacks. The character models have really ugly underwear, which ruins the appeal of the skimpier armor sets. Big shame because some of them looked pretty nice. It's around 10 USD now, but not too sure if I would recommend it.

Been playing unciv. Really not liking it, though I keep playing because I really want to (and because I have no money or computer for the foreseeable future and so free mobile games are really my omly options for a time sink). It's braindead easy unless you play on the higher difficulties and when you do you end up unavoidability behind in the early game since the ai just builds things faster than you. And then you work up to a military twice the size as anyone else and it's just a slog to go around killing every one one at a time since the happiness mechanic forces you to slow down and either. You can have one good big war and then you win, since.the ai is incapable of efficient warfare. Either they overrun you with numbers or you crush them with minima losses. And if you do the latter you almost certainty have an army that all the remaining nations together couldn't beat. I should just stop playing.

>Push the Tempo by Fatboy Slim
LMAO, I doubt I'd have ever seen that if you hadn't posted it here, Anon. Thanks.  :D

>tfw you thought 'Fatboy Slim' was just a euphemism for The Walken.  :^)

>>3038
Yeah I can tell why you feel that way, some MV are dumb. I rarely watch them but some of them are actually good and interesting.

>>3041
yeah, at the moment because that always can change. I remember I made this thread on the old late.city and this one was my favorite one:
https://youtu.be/7iNbnineUCI?si=s2z2yeCBP1WleYGh[Embed]

Still a masterpiece. Or maybe Army of Me by Björk? Don't remember.

And damnnn, I almost forgot about Push the Tempo, it gives me nostalgia. So good.

>>3040
LMAO. This one looks like a fever dream.
