Welcome to the new /late/!

Latestation is BACK: https://letslovela.in/late/


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.

Since the fall of 8chan. Say 8chan did not get taken down and survived into today, how would things be? What would the culture be like in 2024? Would it have grown in more users or bled users?

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. 

It would be way better than the webring.

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.
This strikes a chord, it really does.

i wonder whether the wish is born out of otaku fiction, or the otaku fiction is made to entice our hidden wishes.

I've got a crew. The ship's been dashed upon the rocks and we may never be able to patch it back together again, but we keep in touch. Some more than others. I'm the others, but I've always been a bit of a rogue, and that's how I like it. I've got my own adventures to go on alone.

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.  :)

I'm partial to inca kola myself. My girlfriend got me some for my birthday one year and it's been a staple since. There's nothing else quite like it. Iron Bru has a much stronger and less refreshing taste.

Greetings from the Tahuantinsuyo, I hope you get the Lemon Verbena flavor directly from Peru, as the export plastic Inca Kola doesn't taste nearly as good.

Try Lomo Saltado and Chicha Morada too.

tegaki uses HTML5 Canvas. i assume you're connecting to here through Tor which i believe blocks Canvas by default because it can be exploited as a fingerprinting technique. that's why your tegaki is colorful vertical bars: whenever you see this glitch, it's because of Canvas being blocked. i wonder why. i hope someone smarter than me can explain it.
Replies: >>2742

I confirm it's due to canvas fingerprinting mitigation like Tor uses or if you use an add-on to block it.

The fact that it's still possible to get an e-mail address as easy as 20 years ago is a fact widely *hated* by international governments; at least the parts of those governments which have dedicated countless resources to target our service, our team, our family, and our friends with illegal surveillance, bad-jacketing, organized disinformation, and much worse.

I've gotten started playing classic Doom on PC, and looking for some good wads and maybe mods to try out. Does /late/ have any recommendations?

I just used the FL Studio piano roll when I was on Windows. Now I'm on Linux and trying to get used to LMMS, but that's pretty neutered. There are other programs like Rosegarden and Qtractor, but those on the other hand don't seem as straightforward. Furnace is a really nice tracker for chip music but unfortunately has no MIDI export option, which is a shame because it's simple to learn the basics of and features a pleasantly unobtrusive interface. I think it would be nice for more conventional forms of electronic music if it could export MIDI files to be used with a standard DAW. I haven't gotten around to digging into Renoise yet, but it feels cluttered to me in comparison.

basically all the mods from kombine-kegan https://combine-kegan.itch.io/

their mods have a cool old school nintendo look and the gameplay is more polished than the majority of AAA games

Hey anons, don't know if you ever figured out a solution but for General MIDI a nice option on Linux is MusE (different from MuseScore, which forked from MusE), there's a bit of initial setup with your soundfont and audio outputs but once you have that you can save a template to get up and running quickly. It can export straight to MIDI and has useful features like the ability to directly edit event lists.

I have a huge map of WADs I collected over the years. What is a secure file sharing site I could upload it? Lots of total conversions as well, which are almost like its own thing instead of Doom. Ashes 2063 is amazing for example and probably my favorite.
>>2189
Thank for the recommendation. My dual-booting setup seems to be working pretty well right now, but I just installed it and will keep it in mind as another option.

I often wonder if there are extraterrestrials who are living or working on earth that either look close enough to us that it's hard to notice or are disguised as us? It's an interesting thing that i often think about in my free time, even since i was a kid. There was a guy in my town that lived close to me as a teen who was tall at around 7ft, super skinny and super white with white hair who just looked weird. It was pretty easy to notice him but the way he walked without swinging his arms and despite saying hi to him, he would not even look at us and just carry on walking made me and my friends think he was an alien or just had a problem since his eyes were far enough apart to fly a 737 in between.

But if there was an alien here, how would you notice because surely they wouldn't truly understand our way of life and surely would act, wear clothes and speak differently?

So how would you notice an alien trying to disguise and act as a human? Because if you were an alien that was just dropped off here from across the galaxy then you would obviously make mistakes acting human, even if you looked identical to a human.

There are actually rumors of that kind of thing going on and secret alien-human hybridization programs. It honestly wouldn't surprise me. I don't necessarily think the aliens are extraterrestrials though.
Well i imagine that they would have a weird accent and would eat weird foods. Would never be able to tell because you can't just walk up to people and say "hey, you do weird things and wear weird clothes so are you an alien?" Maybe they are among us but not like the average people would know, maybe not even the governments. Maybe just here to check how we are doing and run some science experiments.

I remember reading otherworldly entities can't eat leavened foods like a bunch of breads, also can't consume salt or at least quantities of it and i think can't digest unstructured water very well.
They're called jews
