In this thread, we will discuss experiences we have outside. Today I was getting time outside because it feels like a healthy thing to do, and I saw four deer. Three of them were watching me while I was outside, and one of them was uninterested in me and walked off. One of the deers was sniffing the other one. Unfortunately, I didn't have a good camera to take a photo.209 replies (and 37 file replies) omitted. Click here to view.

That is a great picture. When I experience nature vividly I lose track of time because I am not stressed out. I hope you enjoyed your trip, anon and please share more awesome pictures with us.

>When I experience nature vividly I lose track of time because I am not stressed out.
Being in nature is good for the mind. There was a German study that found being amongst trees was best, tall trees better.
>>3617
how was the trip so far? did you see anything interesting?
>>3639
i miss my trees in my local area, all of them got trashed by a storm and now the weathers hotter, less animals appear, and people are acting more erratic.

>now the weathers hotter, less animals appear, and people are acting more erratic
I know what you mean. Shade and beauty from trees matter.
You need a hardwood tree with deep roots and medium-dark leaves. Perfectly straight with a high crown.

Hot weather I am more agitated so it makes sense the normalfag don't consider other people's feelings.
ITT: Books, Novels Short stories and anything related.
I was reading Killers of the flower moon recently and it was a good historical book. Secretly it was also a western thriller. (dispite it being nonfiction) It flipped perspectives to diffrent people which made it almost an anthology of sorts, and it was pretty refreshing to hear diffrent stories from diffrent people instead of a one sided narritive.
Another book i read was the irl adventures of a man exploring the wastes of chernobyle although i forgot the name it was a fun read, he was basically homeless and somewhat suffering but his willpower and attraction to the disaster is what kept him coming back over and over.32 replies (and 4 file replies) omitted.

Then GILBERT gave the signal to his fierce Mongolian horde; With a frightful burst of fireworks the Chinks they swarmed aboard. Abandoning their sampans, and their pullaways and junks, They battened down the hatches on the crew within their bunks.
at first i was confused by this passage but then i realise that the chink cat was a siamese, if you please.

I book i suggest would be the three body problem series by liu cixin. its long as fuck but a quality read. the netflix show is of lesser substance then the book series.
i finished reading cats cradle. i had learned about the book from a visual novel called 9 hours 9 persons 9 doors.
i appreciate the short length, it's easy to knock out 300 pages in one sitting. the writing is also fun. i almost feel like it's an analogy of the cold war with the atom bomb being ice nine and hoenikker's children being the world super powers.
i think also a state invented religion to control the masses was an interesting concept.
>>3630
there was also some interesting stories and qoutes like the story about shaking the jar which i'm sure jusn't apply to ants, and the bokon qoute about drug stores
On the day they dropped the bomb Frank had a tablespoon and a Mason jar. What he was doing was spooning different kinds of bugs into the jar and making them fight....I can remember other bug fights we staged later on...They won't fight unless you keep shaking the jar.
The hand that stocks the drug stores rules the world.
Let us start our Republic with a chain of drug stores, a chain of grocery stores, a chain of gas chambers, and a national game. After that we can write our Constitution.
I read the short story, "The man who laughs" by Salinger. Personally i liked it, i like how the laughing man serial changed with the mental state of the storyteller, I like how elements was borrowed by Victor Hugos "The man who laughs" (which i'm still reading lol)
I've been letting my hair grow for the first time in my life recently. It was great on winter and early spring but now it's getting hot as hell over here and my hair gets damp with sweat very easily. Does anyone here know what to do about this? Cutting it isn't an option6 replies omitted. Click here to view.

Put it in a ponytail. When I had long hair, that was always my go to. Depending on your face and phenotype, a ponytail can look badass on a dude. Other than that, you're sort of out of options
>>900
Depending on how thick your hair is, sweat can either drip down or linger in your hair. It doesn't matter how long your hair is; you will still sweat a lot if you are active. My best advice is if there is any way to concentrate your hair in one area, do that so that only one area sweats and gives yourself time to relax.
Growing my hair out as a teenager is one of my fondest memories. I'm going to do it again soon, once I get my own place. I like tying a handkerchief around my forehead, it kept the hair back and soaked up sweat pretty good.
Long hair is nice. Wear a cotton Bandana?

Hair grows faster in warm weather.

Old yet important cat poem.
1. I and Pangur Bán, my cat,
'Tis a like task we are at;
Hunting mice is his delight,
Hunting words I sit all night.
2. Better far than praise of men
'Tis to sit with book and pen;
Pangur bears me no ill-will,
He, too, plies his simple skill.
3. 'Tis a merry thing to see
At our tasks how glad are we,
When at home we sit and find
Entertainment to our mind.
4. Oftentimes a mouse will stray
In the hero Pangur's way;
Oftentimes my keen thought set
Takes a meaning in its net.
5. 'Gainst the wall he sets his eye
Full and fierce and sharp and sly;
'Gainst the wall of knowledge I
All my little wisdom try.
6. When a mouse darts from its den,
O! how glad is Pangur then;
O! what gladness do I prove
When I solve the doubts I love.
7. So in peace our task we ply,
Pangur Bán, my cat, and I;
In our arts we find our bliss,
I have mine, and he has his.
8. Practice every day has made
Pangur perfect in his trade;
I get wisdom day and night,
Turning darkness into light.
Today, my cats were pretty friendly with each other. Usually, the two boys like to play fight each other, but today they did stuff together. They sleep next to each other, and they explored the garage when I was doing a walk in the garage. It is nice to see cats having dynamic friendships.
>>3549
do they talk to eachother?
>>3552
Yeah, the majority of meows from the younger cat is to the older cat.
met two farmcats the other day. both let me pet them and one of them was shy. their names? corncob and cornpop. corncob was a brown tabby and she was pregnant. she rubbed against me. cornpop was a tuxedo cat who was shy, meowed at me and then let me pet him. good cats overall.
This thread exists to explain to the anons browsing twentytwo on how to use the Japanese otaku video-sharing website Nico Nico Douga (Smile Video). So by the end of this I am hoping you will be able to upload videos, create mylists, and search for videos properly.
Nico Nico Douga's English variation platform was abolished recently although it wasn't really usable to begin with given how poorly it was maintained and nothing was explained to the user in the end.
I will also mention that the website best works with chromium based browser (I recommend ungoogled chromium, free of spyware) with Firefox there is tons of stuttering and slow loading times making it really unusable a lot of the times.

An NG (no-go) word list was found, and it became a topic of conversation that "interesting" was included as an NG word.
大体こんな感じの流れ
That's roughly the flow of events.
Nico Nico Douga is finally coming back tomorrow after the ransomware attack. I tried to convince myself that maybe this was a blessing in disguise thinking that the staff at Nico Nico Douga were taking this opportunity to completely overhaul the site, considering how awful it has become over the years since the disaster that was Nico Nico Zero in 2012 (with its resource-intensive video player, confusing layout, high system requirements, ignored user feedback, etc.). I had hoped they might return to their roots, refocusing on the otaku community, fixing all of the playback issues between different browsers, and easing up on the restrictions between premium and non-premium users.
But how naive was I? It's always been clear that the current corporate staff at Dwango have forgotten the website's BBS origins of being a platform for otakus to share videos with other otakus, and taken to heart the misguided notion from clueless foreigners that Nico Nico is just "Japanese YouTube." This is god damn awful, you can't discern this from any other video website.
NicovideoDL is a web-based method used to download niconico video content, without having to futz with GUI and terminal-based programs, and also the headaches of attaching premium login cookies to your downloader.
As of the relaunch of Nico Nico Douga, you can insert the two letters "dl" after "nicovideo" on your current sm id URL. A message, like the first image attached, should appear, and it will refresh every 5 seconds. Once the video is ready to download, a blue hyperlink appears; simply just click and download the contents to your local filesystem, and you're done! The attached video is an example of the output of nicovideodl.
As of posting, the team is working on guaranteeing premium quality output using this method once those services are fully restored on DWANGO's end. Until then, this is a useful method to bypass content loading errors that might occur, and you simply just want to view and/or save the video locally for backup/safekeeping. (especially if another incident like this happens again!)
Holy fucking shit I thought that the past logs feature on nico nico douga to view old comments was gone for good but lurking this thread here: https://itest.5ch.net/egg/test/read.cgi/software/1716314151 someone managed to implement it here: https://github.com/darthlain/nicodl_release The output will be a .xml file which you can put into something like https://air.fem.jp/ (commeon) along side the video and it will display all of the comments. commeon by itself should be able to fetch past logs but I keep getting a bad request for some unknown reason.
Anyways the nicodl_option.json should look something like this:
{
"dl_dir": "", (put in the url where to save video, MAKE SURE IT IS DOUBLE BACKSLAHES \\)
"yt_dlp_path": (put in the url where yt-dlp.exe is located, MAKE SURE IT IS DOUBLE BACKSLAHES \\)
"comment_mail": "",
"comment_pass": "",
"user_session": "", (Press F12 in chrome and go to application and go to cookies and find the value of user_session.)
"is_video": "true",
"is_comment": "true",
"is_kakolog": "true", (make sure this is set to true to download past comments)
"is_kantan": "",
"comment_fileformat": "",
"end_presswait": "true" (press enter on finish)
}
then when this configuration is correct open nicodl.exe and press the "a" key put in a URL and then write "nico" to start downloading.
As of October 30th, 2024 (Unknown Time, JST), access to niconico content flagged as sensitive and explicit are geo-restricted if you are detected as a user (registered or not) outside of Japan. Attached to this post are two images: first is the restricted results, even with sensitive content displayed turned on in user settings; second image displays what it is like with a Japanese non-residential IP. The final image is a message when attempting to access flagged-as-explicit content as a non-Japanese IP. Side note: it's really interesting seeing the nicopedia content preview hidden when looking up tags as well under a foreign IP.
This thread will feature videos from the 歌ってみた (I tried to sing) tag from Nico Nico Douga: https://www.nicovideo.jp/tag/歌ってみた
https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/歌ってみた
The tag is attached to videos where users on Nico Nico Douga record themselves singing and is one of the much more popular tags on there. The tag includes videos in various forms like singing over karaoke tracks, adding vocals to instrumental music, preparing your accompaniment, and creating completely original songs.
I want to start off this thread with one of Hyadain's I tried to sing videos. https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm8887200 [Play] I found it initially while working for working on another project for the Medley thread. This is basically a remix of BATTLE2 from Romancing SaGa. This is actually his 44th work as mentioned in the description and it features a guest singer RIKO-san who sings the part of Sif.
I'll be honest I never played any of the Romancing SaGa games, but man... While translating this and listening to the song over and over again I actually began feeling something for the characters due to the seriously well composed lyrics. I think the part that got me the most was Sif's mention of throwing away her dreams as bridal life and throwing an axe instead of a banquet. Fucking amazing. I will follow up this thread later with another entry into Romancing SaGa that I found.
If you don't know about Hyadain (Kenichi Maeyamada) early on he used to mainly sing songs of old game BGMs where he would rearrange them and make up his own lyrics. He is known for an outstanding arrangement sense, the humor he incorporated into his works, being able to change of his voice (the female parts are usually all sung by him) and for a extraordinarily high pace of releasing new songs. He is probably the most popular I tried to sing singers on Nico Nico Douga who is also partly responsible for Nico Nico Douga's growth as a community.
He revelead back in 2010 on his blog that his real name was actually Kenichi Maeyamada who is responsible for composing J-POP and anime songs. His major debut... well... you probably know the anime Nichijou, right? He made the opening theme Hyadain no Kakakata☆Kataomoi-C: https://youtu.be/osWXbe7MbGE [Play] and https://youtu.be/1Xxnp0Q1GYQ [Play]
Isn't it fascinating to contemplate the hidden contributors behind the growth of the Nico Nico Douga community? Like I think it's quite amusing to imagine some prominent individuals like this secretly crafting anonymous accounts and creating MAD videos for tags like Gachimuchi Pants Wrestling...

I also want to bring up something even more intriguing: back then, when Nico Nico Douga wasn't a corporate shit hole and cared about its userbase, when the "I tried to sing" tag exploded on Nico Nico Douga, it led to the realization of a unique concept: gathering several more prominent singers from Nico Nico Douga to produce a "歌ってみた" CD available for purchase. This project was directed by Shigeru Saito who was associated with Lantis, he is known for handling music production for popular anime series like "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya," "Lucky☆Star," "D.C.Ⅱ," character songs, and radio programs. Interestingly, Saito was also a fan of Nico Nico Douga. Despite all of the copyright infringements of the song selections, they managed to release it. Initially, though, it was criticized for its poor song selection, but the evaluation improved over time.
The CDs released are as follows:

https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm17663034 [Play] Introducing singers who deserve more recognition but weren't invited to Nico Nico Chokaigi
I’m not sure if the video title is being serious, but it’s kinda extremely funny to think about how much talent Nico Nico actually started, with people who made what were often seen as joke videos going on to become professional singers, musicians, etc.
If you’re wondering what Nico Nico Chokaigi is: https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/ニコニコ超会議 It's basically a real life event held by Nico Nico where the community comes together to recreate Nico Nico Douga in the real world: https://youtu.be/BbqT4wNKCs0 [Play].
That being said, you have to ask why the management decided to dump so many resources into these large-scale events like Nico Nico Chokaigi and Nico Nico Taikai, while the site itself was barely functioning, even for premium users...
https://dic.nicovideo.jp/b/a/ニコニコ大惨事 (Nico Nico Disaster)
Going through the comments on this trainwreck is just brutal because it's obvious they were intentionally cutting costs to make Nico Nico barely profitable at the expense of a functional website. All while pushing these events (and even planning overseas expansions) without even securing a solid footing in Japan.

The "Spirit of the Engineers" who power Nico Nico Douga at Dwango.
http://rikunabi-next.yahoo.co.jp/tech/docs/ct_s03600.jsp?p=001878
It sounds like they're looking for highly skilled engineers based on this article created on 2011/02/24, but after reading this article from 2011/02/18, I'm left speechless.
Takeshi Natsuno’s next strategy for Nico Nico Douga:
http://rikunabi-next.yahoo.co.jp/tech/docs/ct_s03600.jsp?p=001867
"But we are not resting on our laurels. We're aiming for the future. We have two directions: one is entertainment. We're moving beyond video towards live entertainment like concerts and musicals. We already have a world where 10,000 people will pay 2,000 yen just to watch an artist's live show on the internet."
"The second direction is overseas expansion. We’re not necessarily imagining physically expanding abroad since we can easily cross borders online in today’s world. We’re developing a business model that doesn't rely solely on Japan or cater only to Japanese users."
The "disaster" article mainly talks about what happened on February 5, 2011, during the the final event of the Nico Nico Taikai when a major issue hit Nico Nico Douga and both free and premium members couldn’t watch videos. It was probably one of the first big signs of Nico Nico starting to lose its userbase because of poor management decisions. I went through some of the 1500+ comments posted a few months after that, and honestly, it’s insane how much regular and premium users suffered because of their greed...
When Hiroyuki was still there, he famously said during the disaster:
"Did you know that, even though this is Nico Nico Douga, a video site, people can’t watch videos today due to a problem? I think it’s wrong to ignore our core business and do events like this."
Anyways I think it's almost impossible not to rant about the management in every post if you have to explain the things that make up nico nico so please enjoy that video lol.

A problem with this, thought the neck was like a normal ball joint but its actually super retarded, like a super thin double ball joint. also the head and neck are connected and looks super THICK. if you take the fig oug of the box and try to move the head WATCH out because if its stiff then either lube it or leave it be because it'll break, saw it happen to a toy reviewer and man was it tragic. Also the trunks are retarded because it limits the articulation by the leg area, lets say you make the figure sit or make it do a kicking pose, the part where the leg connects uses a thin rubbery plastic that cracks super easily for SOME REASON which is just gay...
I bought the last first appearance spidey figure they had in store. The package was damaged so i had to take the figure out. I like how they are making the figures without visible pins. I noticed parts of the figure was miscolored, and i had to remove some plastic that kind of stuck out funny but it doesn't matter. No matter what i like it.

I'm actually sure it looks like a MS-09R-2 Rick Dom II, yes its missing parts that a rick dom specifically has but i dunno like the arms and some of the parts like the hands stick out to me. Also some of the joint parts was borrowed from the dwage. Still like it and gonna build it but if i see a hguc revive version i'll snag it for anime accuracy.
i forgot to post a pic of the sinanju and the 1.5 gundam.
i learned something recently with the sinanju, where the waist peg is prone to breaking, they changed the plastic to make it less fragle, but it still breaks on people BUT, they sell brass pegs online for 10 bucks so its actually no big deal. also they sell the inner frame, but made of metal which i will totally buy in the future lol.
made some progress with the entry grade nu gundam, new nippers cut cleaner then old,but i still need to be careful.
Post and discuss any 22chan characters you made or know here.
I'm reviving this thread in the hopes of getting a more detailed discussion going about the universe 22chan takes place in and all of its characters.
