Whenever radio anon gets around to it, really. He's a busy man, so who knows. If all else fails, figure out how to host it yourself.

>it's still ded
if you want to spend $5 on a VPS and 20 minutes setting it up it shouldn't be that hard. i'm a cheap bastard though

>of retards as they have pronouns with Discord.

I agree with that a lot, I hate the discord culture but I wanted to do something there since it's an active place and for its convenience, but you're right. It sucks.

>>Why not just stay on the Internets (ie, places like here on the Webring)?

Because I thought those places were dead, most of the image boards i used to visit are gone, so I figured the only way to find like-minded people now would be through discord, which isn’t easy of course since everyone there seems to have a huge ego and obsession over their roles and stupid drama.

But I think I'm just not searching enough, I will stick to trashcan and other image boards that are still alive.

Thanks for all the information, tho.

>>3171
I understand the harsh, it was kinda rude of me to post it here too (already closed the link) 

And you're pointing out something real, things that were once open and reachable have gone locked away in servers and private chats so Discord isn't really a good idea if you want to build anything.

http://toastytech.com/ is one of the first sites I remember visiting that are still up. I'm not sure how I found it, maybe I was googling around for different computer-related topics since I was heavily into that, but I loved the GUI gallery and IE is Evil. Also Mars War is a pretty nice Doom wad. It even got me into Firefox before the other nerds at school did.

It still sees an update roughly once or twice a year, but it's usually just a small addition to IE is Evil's rant page. Part of me hoped that he'd keep the GUI gallery up to date with different X11 WMs and Wayland compositors, but I guess he's busy with life these days. Or just tired of maintaining a decades-old personal site, in an era when personal sites barely exist outside of teenagers making stereotypical gif-laden "old web" pages on Neocities.

Pic used to be what the rant page looked like back in the early-mid 00s. He's since toned it down, but he's kept the yellow text and Doom texture background to make it hard to read on purpose.

You're very welcome, Mate! What kind of turned things around for me personally was just this realization:
Be the future you want to see!

Everything else pretty much flowed out of that one personal determination. Good luck with your search.

way i do it i try to be more social which taught me to be more outgoing but forced me to be more selective at the same time, so now i regularly chad with old neighbors, or relatives on the phone
i also took time to think about what i would enjoy reading or watching (old media), and always try to set up a comfy environment so that i don't want to get up and check my phone
this in turn inspired me to start writing to prepare some pathfinder campaigns im planning to try this summer

what helped me the most was mentally preparing myself to not be available for x time, like
>after dinner im reading for 1 hour then off to bed
>tonight ill sleep early so that tomorrow morning ill spend 2 hours sunbathing
>saturday morning i have to try out this new romhack i downloaded
always telling myself that after im done i can check my phone and whatnot, this reduced my smartphone usage so much i only have to charge it once a week now kek

>>3246
This sounds like some real wisdom. I hope I can manage something similar for my computer usage now.

>this reduced my smartphone usage so much i only have to charge it once a week now kek

Actually scratch that. I live my life in computers, where I go by the hacker alias Not-4chan, and am guilty of practically every computer thingy there's a software driver for...

The problem is me wasting time with my old ways...instead of focusing on the far-brighter future coming down the pike very soon! They tell me 'old habits are hard to break'. I think I can break free from the dreamworld though!!  :DD

>>3243
It's a little scary to me how addicted people are.

>You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it.

How do we go back?  Top heh.  The problem is much bigger than the black mirrors: it's 21 years' worth of accumulated brain damage from addiction to socmed, etc.  It's normies in general being no smarter or wiser or moral than the dirt-farming peasants they've been for thousands of years— now networked and equipped with cameras so that the world can have non-stop feeds of public displays of baboonery.

The better question is of how things can ever get better, because going back simply isn't an option, and the answer is probably something spergy like "a natural aristocracy arises and forms parallel institutions which gradually replace the current decrepit, corrupt institutions."

That, or a giant solar flare EMPs the whole planet back to the 1930s.  People won't be getting any wiser, but circumstances can still take the attractive nuisances from their hands.

The thrice damnedable green-eyed glipus (plural: glipee) averages about 1.5 feet tall, with size 11 trotters it loves to stamp around with in crawl spaces, attics, and basements. They're quite fond of kicking door jams and appliances if they find their way in your home, as it's the only way they can get out their aggressive streak since they are deathly afraid of anything living and will flee at the first sign of life. This makes mating rather difficult and consequently the glipus is considered endangered. The glipus has a special pheromone designed to attract a mate and overcome their cowardly nature. Unfortunately, it smells just like burning electrical wires leading to many glipus getting zapped by stray wiring, and many homeowners suffering from low quality sleep due to the pheromone's odor causing a concern of fire. Glipee eat mostly much, sticks, and twigs. Their bodies aren't designed to digest such things, so they make a terribly unnutritious food source for them, but good luck of convincing a glipus that.

A nocturnal and distant half-mutant cousin of the orangutan, the slugbellied saunterer has an incredible ability. It can form a vacuum with it's suction cup like mouth and blow so hard, with aid of it's tongue, it can unlock almost any door. If the door squeaks as they open it, they'll close it back right away and move along. The slug bellied saunterer is nothing if not considerate and will leave any lock it tampers with restored to the state in which it found it, by using it's powerful lungs to suck the lock back locked. The most obvious sign a slug bellied saunterer has been around is a sticky spitty door knob.
These 7 foot tall apeoids find sleeping creatures, man and animal, irresistibly adorable and will stand in the shadows watching them for hours, but their main cause for breaking and entering is to eat. They love anything spoiled, stale, or neglected to the back of the fridge or pantry.
Often putting any wrappers or containers back where they found them. If they can find something to poke a discreet hole with, they have been known to pierce fruits and use their mouths to suck all the juice out of them. Leaving a mostly normal looking but disappointingly dry fruit in its place.
During the day it is believed they stay in the houses of unobservant people, standing perfectly still in a corner or closet.

I was walking outside at night and heard what sounded like a chicken that kept screeching in the distance in a forest. I've heard other odd things come out from that forest...

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.

can  you tell me what you like about them ?
im not an avid reader so i just stick with tolkien, i love how heavy it is on the world building, it got several cool ages all in the same world

also every character seems to be written as an archetype that needs to mature and overcome some flaw
>bilbo needs to overcome fear in the hobbit, then greed in lotr
>merry needs to mature and learn to face consequence
>boromir needs to be in control of his unyellding loyalty to gondor so it doesn't tempt him to take the ring
>faramir needs to grow out of his brother's shadow by fighting a temptation that got the better of boromir
>elrond needs to accept change and be more trusting towards men
etc etc
it is so densely packed with symbolism and morality

When I was little bugs freaked me out so bad, so my mom got me to learn a bunch about insects and arachnids, and eventually the fear was replaced by curiosity and admiration.

>>2268
I remember my brother chasing me around the house with a toy spider when I was pretty young and being freaked out. That was the first time I ever recall being scared of them. Even though he was doing it to frighten me and had no problem with them at the time, he soon developed a fear of bugs too. It's really weird.

You need to learn to casually socialize. No drink, that's cheating.
In the beginning just learn to strike up conversations at the park, in the bus, at the shop. This is something every child should learn, but schools and spoiled children permanently ruin it for some kids.
Not everyone will like you, and you need to learn to accept it. Some people won't have the time, some are autistic, but sometimes a quick casual interaction can make someone's day, at virtually no cost if you learn to make your peace with the fact that everyone in the world will want to befriend you.

Have you considered going to church ? To a library ?
A girl I knew in hs used to go to a shelter and volunteer to walk the dogs. The idea sounds unpleasant to me but it may suit you.

Well I caved and installed counterside. Mixed feelings about it so far but it does seem to be what I'm looking for, with my coplaints mainly being things inherent to gacha. Plus I've head its one of the most free to play riendly gachas, and I don't think I'll mind grinding it out with out relying on rare units. Time will tell though, might drop it still.

I'm thinking about getting back into SNES games again. I used to play a lot of them on my laptop in high school but kind of stopped over time. Last thing I played was Chrono Trigger. If anyone has any obscure SNES RPGs worth suggesting I'm all ears :)
