EditI was driving to Vegas yesterday which was an around 6 hour trip and on one of the rest stops where I went to the bathroom and then back to my car some white thick-texan accent guy approached my car window asked me to roll it down and told me "Hey we're celebrating this guy winning $250,000 and he's giving everyone $200. Come with me, let's meet this guy" something along those lines. I decided to go since I was bored out of my mind on this trip knowing this is 100% some kind of scam and it was right besides my car (if it was a watermelon addict I would have never opened my car window in the first place). When I approached the location a bunch of people assembled around the guy who supposedly won, who all pretended to meet each other for the first time, greeting each other, asking for names. The guy had a huge wad of cash in his hand that he flayed around. Then the guy who won the $250,000 starts playing some kind of card game of where you have to point you finger at 3 cards that he mixes up at the ground and when you do you and get a joker you win double or nothing but I didn't 100% understand the rules because of these thick-ass accent. We all made a round circle around the cards where I was positioned in front of the guy playing the cards and I stayed quiet for a good 3 minutes or so and wanted to see how this played out but when I realized that no one was playing the game and they were just screaming around as though they were pretending to play and in reality they were ALL waiting for me to point my finger at the cards I quietly left while the original guy following behind me and went inside of the car and just didn't say a thing. Nothing happened after that but I stayed and watched as these guys did the exact same thing to the other people at the rest stop. Does anyone have an idea of what this scam is supposed to be?

from what i see, it looks like they wanted you to bet money, and they'd milk you dry or worse, put you in debt.

Fucking weird and scary. I had a much more benign encounter today. Two koreans tried to explain to me that there is actually both a "father god" and a "mother god", because in the bible verbs referring to god are always in the plural form. After finishing with this absolutely brilliant presentation, made with the aid of several powerpoint slides on a tablet no less, we just stared at each-other for a second or so, then I told them I had to go.
I've been shifting between stainless steel, and cast iron along with glass for cookware, for tools, it's cast cast iron, stainless steel, wood (home made wood tools). I threw away plastic stuff and some of the crock pots i had contained lead and other shit. Only a couple cast iron products i can remember are from the brand lodge, everything else is like made in america, from a farm, from a local blacksmith, (who don't use bullshit like lead as additives) from a person who does woodwork with all natural shit, but most of the others i have no clue about.
I also had to throw away my measuring cups because the fucking red dye they use for the letters contained cadnium. Also fuck teflon.
It's kind of a pain to treat the cast iron but at the same time food kind of tastes better when i use them? Kinda made the switch out of paranoia but i don't have any major regrets since i needed new cookware and my plastic crap cookware was falling apart so it had to go.

This shit looks so ass it makes me wish I could Switch 2 a different console

There's no news about the specs either, i'd laugh hard if its just 1080p.

I don't know if it will be 700 shekels, but it seems like a viable estimate to me, considering the OLED was 300 dispite minimal changes being made.
Also i had a funny thought where what if switch 2 games have the little tabs on it, to prevent the games being played on old consoles, and imagine shaving them off and it plays normally LOL
>>4067
I hope at least the Switch 2 will be backward compatible. The Switch 2 almost feels unreal at the moment because the modern state of gaming hasn't excited me for some time.
>>4068
It says its backwards compatible in the ad.
One of my goals is to find the Tarot of Marseilles, not for divination, but for me to study the archetypes. Speaking of which, something weird is that the joker in the dark night movie, when he gets hung he literally does the hanged man pose although thats probably just a little coincidence.

I actually would have made the switch to PC, the problem is that, i had bought the alan wake collection for pc (actual discs) and when i tried downloading the game the fucker installed steam instead. It wasn't like back in the day when i bought starwars jedi academy for pc and it downloaded the game to my laptop. When i inspected the alan wake package it said nothing about downloading fucking steam, it had the specs and file size. Another so called PC game i found, wreckfest also had this bullshit on the package where it said you had to have steam in order to play the game.
https://jungiancenter.org/books/ Lol, So all of Jung's Collected Works is online. What i found on internet archive was incomplete, so it's nice.
Thank you for that
I went over to a used bookstore and found 10 volumes of fullmetal alchemist for 1 dollar per book, although the first two volumes was missing.
Also found a bunch of classic literature and philosophy books for dirt cheap, the stuff i was looking for, which was nice. Then i traveled to a couple of stores, and i bought skyrim for the PS4 for 5 bucks, and advanced wars for the switch for 10 bucks and the capcom fighting collection for 5 bucks and i'm personally hyperventilating as i'm typing this, HOLY SHIT. I read about advanced wars (for gameboy) in nintendo power magazine but i never got a copy and the price for the switch version was 60 dollars so hell yeah. I love arcade games, and to be honest i only heard of darkstalkers from Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds so like i get to play a bunch of obscure (from my perspective) japanese fighting games for dirt cheap so thats a win in my opinion.
Skyrim, didn't want to play it but 5 bucks is 5 bucks.
>>4183
Probably going to go back soon to buy resident evil village for 10, i felt mixed because to be honest i only played RE4 so i was kind of out of the loop but fuck it, sounds pretty metal of a story.
I am sick of the readings for my courses not having anything to do with what we are going to be talking about in class.
>>4197
Why do they do it?
>>4197
That happened so many times in High school and University. It is almost as if the teacher acts as if they are the most important class. When the homework they give is useless I try to find workarounds because a lot of teachers think they have more important classes.

Ever since thriller bark the quality of one piece went down hill, Just the typical shit you'd see in any shonen anime, which sucked because it actually had fucking potential. It makes me wonder about what's going on with the authors headspace considering the tonal shift. I liked the bit about
Sabaody Archipelago and slavery and the over all super fucking dark tone but god damn, then theres an episode or two or three or just stupid shit like fan service thrown in there and its just another blemish.
And i heard too that after the timeskip shit was supposed to be DARKER, but for the sake of what? shit writing?
Maybe it's just me but i'm reminded of
Berserk where it's super fucking massive and the first couple story arcs up to golden age are fucking outstanding then after it kind of just melts into typical shonen shit, what the hell happened there?
I feel like i'm having some type of mental breakdown in a good way, i mean that i'm doing too much research and i'm getting flashbacks so now what's fucking with me is evangelion.
So basically asuka has the jungian electra complex, (you can say the same with ritsuko) rei has the freudian death drive, (also a representation of shinji's unconscious in the jungian sense) you can say that shinji has the oedipus complex, he also seems to have a libido-destrudo complex. Without a doubt kaworu is his jungian shadow. Although freud has more of an obvious hold over evangelion especially by episode titles like "oral stage", jung stated that the collective unconscious can be symbolised by water. (lcl fluid) In a way in the jungian sense too, evangelion is a "myth" of the author, with every character being an aspect of himself, (a persona if you will) the creator even stating as such.
>>4223
But also unit-01 contained the conscious of his mom, so by entering it, it's like the freudian "return to the womb" but to make matters worse the plug is like a phallic symbol so he's also fucking his mom.....
>>4224
>hedgehog's dilemma
Looks like i need to read Schopenhauer, more rabbitholes to chase.
>>4223
Also i feel like it's dubious that the people behind evangelion only used religious stuff "because it looks cool" due to how things played out and how various religious icons symbols was used, too much shit from the zohar that works in such a way to be more then just mere empty symbolism but i could very well be schizophrenic at this point. It's just that the task of man in the kaballah is restoring union to the male and female divine manifestation, and it leads to ein sof
>Ein Sof is a place to which forgetting and oblivion pertain. Why? Because concerning all the sefirot, one can search out their reality from the depth of supernal wisdom. From there it is possible to understand one thing from another.
Which is kinda is what happened at the end of the story in like episode 25-26
>>4223
I think you're missing the point a little bit, Evangelion is actually about deciding which emotionally vulnerable 14 year old you want to fuck and have sex with
Why didn't you guys tell me about Nyaight of the Living Cat? I just saw the trailer for the new anime https://youtube.com/watch?v=BJF5OMXD7xI [Play] So i started reading the manga, so far its fun. I think it also says alot about our society.

those CGI cats look fucking terrible
Been keeping an eye out for games that i haven't played before, been stuck on first person shooters and basic bitch games for so long so i feel like i've missed out on stuff. Like, made plenty of mistakes like selling games i shouldn't have and gaming systems i haven't been able to recover. What i've been looking for? Some old games like silent hill, arcade games and JRPGs or like games specifically with a very unique story or shit i always wanted to play like Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.
>what i bought recently
Street fighter V: champion edition
(trying to play the games in chronological order so i can't say much although i heard that the game was shit during launch but got better
Infinte undiscovery
Would have passed it back in the day but fuck it, story sounds like something, retard with a flute gets mistaken for some ultimate hero and is forced to kill a guy trying to drop the moon from where it hangs in the sky
Might be shit, might be good. I'll see soon enough.

God i like the fucking manga but an anime adaption? I don't know, maybe something about the visuals feels icky to me
>warner bros japan
Just, warner bros japan alone makes me wonder if they'll fuck it up.
I just bought pokemon ultramoon on a whim, it was 20 bucks.
Haven't played pokemon since pokemon Y came out. Have no clue about the current era of pokemon or if it's any good.
Me? Been thinking about the time i was 5 and my mom bought me a copy of pokemon yellow at goodwill, to play with my secondhand gameboy console that she bought at a yardsale. Like a typical retard i had no fucking clue what i was doing, spammed attacks, didn't debuff, released pokemon i shouldn't have but it was a hell of a time. Thought lavendertown was spooky as fuck, still remember the theme to this day and i also remember fighting against mewtwo.
Looking back, part of the stuff i like about pokemon was the edgy shit, the fact that team rocket killed pokemon, that one retard who was transformed into a pokemon by accident, the mew two story, later happenings like that one haunted house in pokemon pearl i think, besides edgy shit there was some great story elements and cool stuff like red returning in soulsilver/heartgold. Going to gamestop to get rare pokemon was fucking EPIC, generally exploring at most times wasn't a slog and there's something about getting lost in an unknown area as a kid that had a sense of wonder to it.
I don't know what to expect with the new game. I stopped playing Y out of boredom, i hope i'll enjoy the new game.
Also before i forget there was a pokemon cartoon in cartoon network that was closer to the original vision to what pokemon was supposed to be and there was gore and a bit of edge to it, might see if i can find that.
>>4290
Oh speaking of soulsilver the pokewalker thing was cool as fuck, i still own mine.
>>4291
I remember using it in Washington DC back in the day. I ended up losing the Pokewalker. Wished I didn't lose it because it was fun.
>>4290
For those who buy a used pokemon game, DO NOT WIPE IT, check the PC first to see what pokemon the previous owner has, you can get rare, exclusive or hacked shit you can't find anywhere else, as an example the previous owner had had a shiny fucking mewtwo.
Found a guy irl who has a copy of ultrasun and we decided to make a deal where i'll give him some shit i found and i didn't need or are only exclusive to my game and in exchange i'll get the other pokemon on this pc that i'll get after i wipe my game and start fresh, although it's a long fucking wait to reach a point where i'll reach a point in game to where i can get access to a pc.
Would have did it myself but i'm not seriously paying for a copy of ultrasun.
Back in my day i'd buy pokemon games with super rare pokemon and transfer em over since i had copies of games and a second system lol. On my old pokemon platnum i saved a mewtwo who was shiny, and with maxed out stats lol, think he was hacked and i transfered him over to soulsilver.

That thread felt weird to me, i mean it was on sewers for one thing, (everyone and their mother knows that its the "not serious" board.) and the posts felt, automated. Especially the weird ass emojis kinda raised my hackels, its like a few people who didn't post there before made a thread for a specific purpose? Wouldn't you see more emojis on other threads, and express a similar vernacular? Not only that but why THAT thread? There's plenty of other threads to choose from, hell there are plenty of other threads that would have plenty of content to turn in to videos but he chose a super new thread to make into a video?
Maybe i'm a retard but is it possible he had made the thread on purpose to set it up for a youtube video, or is it just me being an armchair detective?

This is so stupid lol, what would you even do if there was no internet? Your 90 dollar game would be even more useless because it's not even functional as a paperweight.
>>4365
Now there is no reason to not PC game.

When i say 90 dollar game i'm not joking, 80 dollars for the new switch 2 mariokart game lol
https://insider-gaming.com/nintendo-switch-2-games-will-cost-80-for-digital-90-for-physical/
I wonder what their deal is?
Didn't game systems used to cost 200, and games roughly 20 to 40 dollars?
I've been reading the promised neverland and i'm shocked, it's really fucking good, for something from shonen jump. I'm like 128 chapters in and there aren't any lowpoints i can think of, although i heard that around 170 chapters in there's a dip in quality because of the covid pandemic getting in the way but i guess i'll see when i get there.
>>4369
It feels like Nintendo is being cocky as if the Wii U or the 3ds (prior to the price) didn't happen. It is almost like Nintendo is allergic to making logical decisions when they get some success.
>>4370
Sneaky motherfucker snuck in the "we need to globalise" bit.
170 cut all the lose ends off, nothing too bad but then there's an image of shit that basically says "cant we all get along" and its gay and then chapter 179 happens and its literally globohomo MUH CLIMATE CHANGE, MUH COVID, MUH WORLD WAR "national borders where abolished and the world became one large nation by 2047" fuck you lol i'll be 47 and that shit won't happen.
Pissed because it was a fucking good manga unironically besides that one panel and that one chapter.
>>4375
Here's another thing that pisses me off in a sense, it was something i subconsciously picked up so i very well could be wrong.
I like japanese anime and manga, made for japanese people.
I don't honestly want to see western values, philosophy, content and so on. I want to be thrown headfirst into a diffrent world with diffrent values and ideals and perspectives (and artstyles)
I thought it was fucking neat when a character in Back when you called us devils mentioned a story from the shinto text Kojiki, specifically the one about Izanagi and Yomi in World of Darkness. I'm sure if i was a japanese person, reading an old western comic book they probably would want the classic experience and any japanese manga shit thrown in would probably be gay looking to them
If i wanted to read a western comic book i fucking would, i don't want to see that shit in a manga. I don't want to see japanese adaptions of western IPs and so forth,
The manga felt off to me, because it felt like the author went put of his way to be mr globohomo, like the visual artstyle felt, western to me, and only way later on there was some japanese references, hell the cast of the story was multiracial, clean, i understand it fits in well with the context of the story but fuck, thats not the point, to me it felt like the author was trying to hard, also it felt like a western graphic novel written by a japanese man, trying to appeal to a global audience. It's weird to me. It's like several times where like in western comics where the artist/writer tries to emulate anime and manga but fucks up real bad and looks strange. The western artist does it as a joke or out of respect, but in a way it shows a fundemental misunderstanding for the artform and distrespects it, in a way tainting it, as for the japanese artist, i can't even discribe how i feel besides it kinda feels like their selling out? like selling their soul for the sake of money?
Fuck if i know, it just felt kind of off to me while i was reading the manga.
Also i kina didn't like the early monster reveal and i would have liked if they did something sneaky like maybe keep him obscured by shadows, or even mentally blocked out, or even obscured by something. Also i felt like the they should have stayed in the orphanage a bit longer, maybe even something bad happening during their escape like maybe a trap or something gets a kid or two killed to show that escaping will come at a cost instead of being so easy.
>>4375
Hahahaha what the fuck? I remember reading it pretty far and it already felt like the quality dropped by the time they escaped the meat factory and had that fight in the village but I never got that far about the things you are talking about. Is this seriously what this was all about from begin with? This is straight up the same thing what happened with AoT where suddenly the story reveals to be about the holocaust and jewish persecution. How does this even happen? Does some rabbi pick up his favorite manga before its finished and uses his connections for them to change the story into something else?
>>4377
They basically went down the route of "the demons are a reflection of human beings" "look at those poor jews getting killed by those muslums"
The fat cat demons at the top used human flesh to retain their humanoid form and intelligence, a special demon family existed who had the ability to still be humanoid because special blood so the fat cats where like "lol, no" because they wanted to use human flesh as a means of controling the masses, so they killed and ate damn near all the special demons besides one
This is all fine and dandy and actually kinda cool untill the author decides to pull the "just like human capitalists" card and then also have characters who "hate the demons" because racism SEE SO DEMONS ARE PEOPLE TOO
>had that fight in the village
Remember the super cool pimp demon in the hat with the lemur? Nigger died after the arc but at the end of the fucking story he fucking revived from the dead and dispite being a total bitch previously he was like "BEHOLD YOU ALL ARE OPPRESSED BY THE FATCAT DEMONS AND DISPITE EATING HUMAN FLESH MYSELF EATING FLESH IS TOTALLY BAD"
So yeah, massive fucking rugpull, Not really obvious as you read normaply but then it fucking hits like a migrane.
I want to check out psycho pass, sounds really interesting. Anything psychological horror is like crack cocaine to me so i throw myself at it, and it's always a hit or miss like madoka magica was fucking good, probably will rewatch that soon.
>>4065
>>4067
You guys were wrong, it supports 4k at 60 fps and it costs 450 dollars (for now before the tariffs at least). Switch 2 will be great.
>>4291
I still have the SoulSilver pokewalker but I lost my HeartGold one 15 years ago. It was one of the most soul crushing moments of my life.
>>4385
NTA, but the Switch 2 is already upsetting me with how confusing owning physical games will be.
For one thing, many "Switch 2 Edition" of games such as Metroid Prime 4 will come with Switch 1 carts, with a voucher to upgrade to the Switch 2 version digitally.
I wonder why not just take the Microsoft route: ship the game with the high quality assets already in place, detect which console SKU you're running, and automatically configure the video and audio settings based on that SKU.
It seems like owning physical Switch 2 copies of dual-platform games will be expensive paperweights. You might as well just buy used or discounted new copies of the Switch 1 version and then pay the fee on the Switch 2 online store, if you want the upgrade. I'm not gonna gamble buying physical Switch 2 games that are on Switch 1 and see there either is no voucher code or it has already been redeemed by its previous player. I sure hope the reason Nintendo did this was because of some stupid software patent, because this is ridiculous.
>>4386
Actually want to correct myself for the record. I just realize that Xbox games that have Smart Delivery discs are literally just Xbox One games, so it works exactly the same way. The major difference, in many cases, is that Xbox usually does it for free for all games with Smart Delivery; while Nintendo may charge for some of the upgrade packs, and not doing it for others.
So they are both kind of similar in both ways in that, if Nintendo or Microsoft's servers goes offline, there is no way you can download and install the superior version of the game if they discontinue service.
Oh my lord, we are doomed to a digital-only future.
>>4386
>>4387
So just for the record, I was being stupid, I thought Microsoft actually solved it by just loading in configurations based on the console SKU that is being used, kind of like a pre-configured PC game with stringent specs, but wow, I can't believe Microsoft botched that with making it a digital delivery service. Now owning any and all 9th generation console physical games are doomed to be expensive paperweights, unless you get a final "GOTY/complete" edition when all support and content additions have ended (as well as the game not being cross-gen).
>>4387
This is why i'm going fucking retro and buying old systems and games, I can see how sometimes it's overpriced but at flea markets and yardsales people will literally throw away stuff for cheap sometimes, when i was 16 i was at a yardsale and this 90 year old woman was like "my kids moved out so im selling their stuff" and it was a fucking gamecube with 60 games for 20 bucks, (majoras mask gamecube port ftw) my next goal is an old xbox system (backwards compatibility is a joke), and a ps3
>>4391
Not bad choices, especially given how RPCS3 and Xbox emulators are still not ready for most games. I have an RGH'd Xbox 360, but I still have yet to figure out why my OG Xbox games keeps black screening when running. I might as well just play them on my Xbox One S while the service is still running.
I'm reading this manga called "manhole" and it's actually pretty great, although now i'm all itchy as fuck and nervous about mosquitos
>>4396
let me get this straight, so you think that "manholes" are "actually pretty great"
>>4397
Well i can appreciate the 3 inch slab of steel circles so far that they'll keep people from falling down to the sewers, and the bad smells away although i'm not so much of a fan so far that they'll keep the gators from coming out to explore. On the otherhand the manga, Manhole by Tetsuya Tsutsui is pretty rock solid in my opinion, people didn't like it because the buddy cop dynamic must have felt generic but to be fair i haven't read so many manga featuring those types of characters so it didn't bother me. Reminded me of a good tv show but in manga format.

Ever get the urge to strangle someone? (in minecraft ofc)
Honestly what the fuck are they doing with minecraft, are they trying to cater to the lowest possible denominator?
Speaking of strangling someone i'm wondering what the fuck happened to a manga i was reading, Thou shalt not die. It started off decent, very novel ideas of child soldiers, shit like the stargate program and ESP research, and then it went downhill to literal trash, as if they stopped trying. It's like they where working hard till they got the news that they where getting an anime adaption and then they decided to do fuck all like some pump and dump scheme. I don't get it, it actually doesn't make sense in my eyes how it transitioned to total dogshit, characters stopped making sense and the story lost it narritive weight. I'm utterly confounded, Maybe i should have lowered my standards, after all it's Seinen but i've read that kind of stuff before that wasn't retarded and typical of its kind. It's just i like the concept and some of the characters, like the hypnotist guy, and the other one with alzheimers. Just felt like a waste of a good idea and characters. Also, i read this manga called Biomega, from the same author that made Blame!, It felt off to me. Latter half of the manga felt rushed, some of the art felt kind of derivative of Blame!
Kind of enjoyed it but it didn't sit right with me for some reason.
>>4408
If i haven't mentioned it before blame is very fucking good and also hardcore, i like how there's little dialoge, of exposition and your thrown headfirst into it and left to think for yourself what's the story about. Good art too, think he was inspired by H.R giger.

I think 4chan is quite irreplaceable due to its sheer size and recognition, yes you can get anonymous discussion on plenty of altchans including this one, but they're so decentralized the chance of finding someone knowledgeable about a particular not in vogue topic in one of them is very slim, so you gotta either find a very specialized place that already caters to you, try to make something in a half popular place for the best chances of finding people like you or going through wringer that is finding a place in regular social media which I've been avoiding for over a decade and I don't plan to start any time soon.
It's the end of an era definitely, 4chan has been this infamous bogeyman of a site for normalfags for over a decade and it died just like that to a random teen due to crippling security issues literally no one gave a shit about until a day ago. I loved my first years on 4chan even if it was already objectively garbage due to the cool stuff I experienced there occasionally coupled with my newfag euphoria, I learned a lot of stuff and I even met some nice people there as rare as that was.
I believe that the biggest victims in all of this are the previously mentioned anons with niche interests that only got fulfilled in 4chan while being super dead everywhere else, sure they may eventually centralize a bit again over time but a lot of people will lose interest due to this. The doxxed jannies and mods are anything but victims, fuck every single one of them to hell and back, I hope they get hunted like the rabid dogs they are even if I know there's a high chance of nothing happening to most.
It'd definitively be cool if this site got some tourists that eventually integrate and become posters, seems to be the perfect situation for shilling even if the chances are slim.
This makes me think of the situation of imageboards in general too. While 4chan had a lot of traffic in the faster boards they're definitely not the kind of people you'd want around, and most of them were normalfags who weren't really into imageboards in general and used 4chan out of recognition and popularity instead of genuine interest with the convenience of its traffic only being a plus. Some other altchans are getting lots of immigrants already but I doubt most will stick around there after the panic like >>4428 said, so it's probable most traditional altchans will remain more or less the same save for a little extra activity bump that if not exploited will fall back to the regular numbers, with a big chance of one of them stepping up to try to be 4chan 2.0 and inevitably failing.
People will say "Why use 4chan when you can use x or y" but they'll never replicate what it was and the way it worked, and if they do it'll just be a small specific part of it and not the whole that still made it attractive, from its convenience to its history and reach; keep in mind that I'm not saying altchans are futile but that even in death they'll never be what 4chan once was. This isn't bad, however, of course a site should have its own culture instead of desperately trying to fill the shoes of the biggest one in history.
This reminds me of that thing moot said about altchans failing because they strive to be "4chan but better", which I'm sure it's one of the reasons soiniggers were such a boom, they hold extreme, rent-free levels of disdain for 4chan and thus they ended up creating an imageboard that's completely unhinged and unique due to its culture being based exclusively on shitposting and raiding, the irony and post-irony heavy style of posting resonating a lot with normalfags which only helps to propagate them and their culture even more, well, now 4chan is not there anymore so it'll either get mostly replaced by whichever is the second most popular, all imageboards will get a small increase in average users or it'll change nothing much and imageboards will continue to be the dying medium we've known they are for a while. If you're hopeful (or copeful) you could also see it as a preamble of a new golden age for imageboards somehow since this would hypothetically raise competitiveness and cooperation among altchans to reach a high amount of imageboard lurkers that'll find their favorite sites for specific purposes, but even then it's a fat chance.
Of course, the site could come back in like a couple months or years, regain its entire userbase of ritualistic autists and back to the usual programming, but for the time being these are my thoughts on the whole situation. At times like these one can't help but wonder... What would Brian Boitano do?
>>4429
My thoughts roughly exactly. It is however true that 4chan's disappearance has left a vacuum of power and population. Most of the users there immediately left to take up accounts at Kiwifarms and there are a few places like 8chan.moe, 8kun, or zzzchan, but beyond those examples people are largely left without any good alternatives.
There is a swathe of content, interests, ideas, entire worlds and cultures that have been wiped away in an instant from this. Assuming it's permanent, which it very possibly could be-- that vacuum needs to be filled somehow.
I only wonder who will take up the plate and actually succeed. Twitter and Reddit will take their shares, Kiwifarms will be affected heavily, and a few small places might get 1 or 2 new regular users, but 4chan was a lot more than just that. These people can't just subsist off of the slim pickings they've been given.
>>4430
in my opinion I think this is good. I feel that there are just too many sites with an overpopulated user base. They get harder to moderate and the risk of infighting increase. I don't think websites were ever meant to be as large as many have become.
but only time will tell what will really happen after the dust settles.
I don't understand why people think that 4chan is going to go down permanently. The code being leaked doesn't really have any consequences, it's not like access to code puts a site at risk, there is plenty of open source imageboards. The janitor emails being leaked is not the end of the world either, I mean, what's the worst that could happen? Them getting spammed? A couple jannies getting doxxed? So what?
They are going to fix whatever vulnerability caused this hack and then bring 4chan back.
As other people said, this will bring some new people (and bring back some old people) to altchans for a while, but it's unclear whether they'll stick around. Overall, definitively a good thing.
>>4432
i really dont think this is the case, it cant go away forever~ ukno? :s way too big of a returning userbase for that to be the case. still fun to revisit my old lurking spots!

Its only the end of the world if the jannies in question were being unprofessional uses of the jannies' mail listings for personal/non-4chan related conversations.
Although, that can be very slim, given we're in the age of instant messaging, unless you're a Gen Xer or older, I don't expect people using mailing lists for their own unprofessional conversations.
>>4437
It's because the code itself is more than a decade old and is filled with more holes than something with a lot of holes in it. 4chan couldn't go back up any time soon without a full reinstall of its firmware and updating of its software, which literally hasn't changed since Moot left.
Not only that, but if the site comes back, the moderation is going to need to be present to keep everything in check. The shitposting is going to be off the charts if that happens, since it's been confirmed that jannies do indeed equal trannies, and pretty much every negative suspicion that the users have had about the modbase ended up being true.
That wouldn't matter if, of course, the entire staff didn't end up getting doxxed; which they did. So good luck getting a walking corpse of a decade old site back up and running without its walker or any help from a scattered and likely panicked janny team that's probably going to disappear permanently.
Fuck it, i decided to read legends of the galactic heros manga, i remember it being mentioned on the old site and also i remember it was mentioned in the three body problem book. Hope it'll be fun!

The anime of this is the most BORING piece of media I have ever forced myself to sit through. They basically kill off one of the main characters just because he ran out of screen time and they needed someone else to take over. Every political decision in this show is the most nonsensical BULLSHIT I've ever seen in anything that tries to be political media. The only way I can describe it is that the entire fucking thing is basically a big fucking nothing burger. I actually felt like I wasted my time watching this by the end of it as every episode I just kept questioning the decisions that were being made and one of the most retarded descriptions of "democracy" ever imaginable.
I hope it stays down for a few more weeks and comes back. There are still some good boards left, even if the quality is not what it used to be. But hey, I have been on 4chan for almost 20 years. It was probably more important to my life than I'd like to admit. But a spread of users to other boards and sites might be a good thing. Last time I posted here was over a year ago. Not that I dislike 22chan, but it is just a bit to slow to lurk on here for my taste. Hope places like this can grow from this without drowning in shitposting.
>>4470
If i have to say anything about the original manga adaption, part of the glaring problem is the staleness of fights, you have stock figures yelling gibberish as if it's important, no psychological drama or even real action like showing the SCALE of the battles, the weight of the lives lost, even the original 60's star trek got it right kind of. Politics? Very minor, i can't complain yet because the die is cast, character are introduced and chess pieces are being moved. Some political discussions are kind of visualised so even a child can understand it although i thought it novel. A lot of funny humor and interesting characters. One example was this fat beurocrat retard acting like a child, that he wanted to only use railguns because the motherfucker thought it was cool or something, not that it had tactical advantage. Good art too. Apparantly the OG manga was well liked because it sticked close to rhe original novel series.
I hope that the new users joining the site like Tabletop Role-Playing Games. There is a disappointing lack of conversation about the topic and hobby on non-Reddit style sites and forums. Would somebody here be interested in a thread about it?

Not sure where to post about it but Garuna apparently remastered one of his popular VOCALOID songs that gave him the nickname of OwataP (It's over (P->Producer)) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgCEzzF7AZo [Play] The original if you have not seen is https://youtu.be/qMgZ3bmVObk [Play] This would probably be more fitting in a /yu/ thread.

It's not that. Their main current problem is that 19 jans and 1mod left, due to the personal info leaks.
And they can't relaunch the site if they don't have enough staff to keep an eye on all boards. They had millions of posts per month, afaik, on some boards there are thousands of posts per hour. It's a very high throughput workload for which you need tens of jans and mods.
I don't think the code is the problem, they could relaunch it as it was and just disable uploading PDFs (which was the claimed exploit). And then they could gradually update the server and backend to bring it closer to current day. But they can't afford to relaunch without enough staff.
>>4430
True. The sheer magnitude of the site was incredible for the absolute terrible server infrastructure on which it was running. They were a major internet venue in which multiple cultures converged and found a space to manifest themselves.
Too bad this place is owned by some unscrupulous passive income exploiter like Hiro who lives in Paris with his wife and didn't invest any money in updating or improving the site infra. He just paid one guy (GRapeApe) to find advertising clients so he could have something to milk. Sad fate for such a culturally significant internet place.

No one told me cats can doge fucking snakes.
>>4079
Honestly i appreciate this.
>>4567
The real question should be has a cat ever been bitten by a snake?
>>4568
Wouldn't be shocked, especially if the cat was caught off guard, but i was reading that cats can actually react between 20-70 milliseconds and a snakes reaction speed is much slower. The cat lore grows deeper and i just feel like its insane.
For the first time i'm working on fixing a few old DS systems, replacing broken plastic and shit. Will be interesting.
>>4592
One of them was actually super easy to where a child can do it, the outer casing was cracked but everything was clean, just a super simole swap out. It does take time, and i would like to note that you have to be gentle with the ribbon cable. Thankfully there's no soldering. The other system? a real fucking mess, and its missing a hinge so that means i have to find and order one, whatever.
>>4594
Interesting thing to note is, that the Phat OG DS uses the same exact speaker as the DS Lite. Maybe to cut costs?

Do you think niniba would visit her big sister in the hospital
>>4612
I have this stupid melodrama sequence running in my head:
Yotsuba: "You always joked about being cancer free... I guess you where right...."
Niniba: "Big sister, d-don't say that... It was a dumb joke i didn't mean-"
Yotsuba: "Shh. It's fine."
Niniba: *mutters* "it's hiros fault, isn't it"
Yotsuba: "What?"
Niniba: "I told you to stay away from him after what he did to mother futaba!"
Yotsuba: "Hey, listen here-"
Niniba: "NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF IT WASN'T FOR HIM!"
Yotsuba: "HE did the best he could to- ESPECIALLY after moot-"
Niniba: "He should have taken care of you!"
Yotsuba: "SAYS THE UNWANTED STEPCHILD OF AN UNSTABLE CREATOR!"
Both girls remain silent, tears well up in ninibas eyes, yotsuba looks exausted, her skin pales, her heart beats fast. "it can't end like this..." niniba thought.
Yotsuba: "I-it's my fault.. Really." "I wasn't being careful, and i drank something i wasn't supposed to, and then they hurt me.."
Niniba: "imsosorry.."
Yotsuba: "Don't be sad little sister..." "I'll get better soon, you'll see!"
Yotsuba grinned meakly.
Niniba: "I NEVER HATED YOU!"
Yotsuba: ....
Niniba: "I felt jealous about you..." "Died my hair the same color..." "i tried even to match outfits..."
"but i also wanted to do my own thing... be my own girl!"
In a flash, niniba sees a vision of her past, She's one year old. In one hand, it's Big sister yotsuba, smiling back at her. On the other hand, it's Big brother 8Chan, looking rather stern and away at something.
Niniba: "SOMETHING YOU CAN BE PROUD OF!"
Yotsuba: "After all these years, you've grown so much..." "Made it so far..."
Yotsuba smiles warmly at niniba, her face seems slightly less pale.
Tears streams down ninibas face.
Niniba: "I LOVE YOU!" "I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU!"
There's a long pause. Both girls are looking down, as if ashamed by something. They look forlorn.
Yotsuba: "Did you ever wonder why you got activity recently?"
Niniba looked at her, confused.
Niniba: "?"
Yotsuba: "After i got sick, people started leaving me..." "And you where so sad as of late.." "I think they found you, like if they knew you needed friends." "And they stayed too, because they liked you, because they chose you.." "You should be proud of your accomplishments..."
The EKG machine besides yotsuba beeps slowly
Yotsuba: "I know i am."
Yotsuba's eyes fades as if it was glass, niniba looks on in horror as the machine flatlines
Niniba: "nonono..."
4Chan staff rapidly enters the room, they throw niniba out as they get to work on saving yotsubas life.
Hours later.
Niniba is sitting in the reception office, eating Edy™'s Dibs™ Frozen Dairy Dessert Crunch™ waiting, desperate for news.
A 4chan staff member approaches her.
Niniba: "Please tell me!" "What's my sisters current condition!" "Is she ok?"
niniba mutters
Niniba: "is she alive?"
4chan staff: We had to place her in a medically induced coma, There's no telling how long it will take for her to recover."
"It could be in a matter of weeks," "or she could die."
At this statment, niniba looked in horror.
4chan staff: "And if she does recover..." "She might be the same"
Niniba: "Big sister..." "nooo"
Niniba was forced to leave, she felt hollow. Thinking about her sister, niniba looked back and said "See you, space cowboy..."
The end.
>>4616
>Niniba: "I told you to stay away from him after what he did to mother futaba!"
Hiroyuki was the guy who made 2channel not 2chan (futaba channel). >>4004 >>4001 The administrator of 2chan as far as I know is still unknown. Also maybe take into account that 4chan copied Futaba★channel.
>On the other hand, it's Big brother 8Chan, looking rather stern and away at something.
What is this referencing? >>4461 ?
>Yotsuba: "Did you ever wonder why you got activity recently?"
I don't know this "activity" is extremely insignificant to some other places but it is some activity nonetheless.
>The EKG machine besides yotsuba beeps slowly
to the tune of the Wind Scene BGM from Chrono Trigger. (I don't know...)
>Niniba is sitting in the reception office, eating Edy™'s Dibs™ Frozen Dairy Dessert Crunch™ waiting, desperate for news.
With a bunch of random flavor energy drinks besides her.
>>4618
>to the tune of the Wind Scene BGM from Chrono Trigger.
And then both Yotsuba and Niniba look at the EKG machine with a moment of disbelief and look back at each other and Niniba goes "uhhh... yeah." while scratching her head. (The entire scene of course continues under this tune with both of them paying no attention. Maybe then have the last note of the song going like beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.) Thanks for reading my autism.
