That's certainly a way to look at it. When you go NEET, if you didn't make it with crypto or possess a large inheritance then you're at the mercy of welfare/your parents and you'll only be able to live like that as long as your parents can put up with you or your NEETbux don't get removed for any reason. However, you can also look at it as achieving complete control over every small thing in your life along with completely controlling of managing your day, hygiene, appearance and such. This seems like something basic to most but others simply lack the incentive to do stuff like this without external pressure.
Almost everything you do in this state will be your very own responsibility, so if you just rot away day by day doing nothing you'll have no one to blame but yourself and this can make you feel and get even worse. Pursuing a "constructive" hobby of your preference can be a way to not feel like you're just rotting away doing the same mundane things every day and it can even serve as a way to get money if you get good enough at it. This works for terminal wagies too because I'm sure they need anything to keep their minds off their shitty job and in most cases dim future, but in their case they lack much more free time than a NEET so if it goes wrong they'll probably drop it due to stress.

Do you feel in control of your life anon?
Yes, and it pains me because while I can do anything with my day, I can't stop myself from doing the same over and over, every small improvement quickly regressing to my usual status quo which I'm way too comfortable with despite knowing it will end horribly if I just keep going at it. I don't know if this is just a part of getting older, something relating to NEETdom or both but my perception of time is way too fast. An entire day feels like what an afternoon felt like before going NEET, which leads me to accomplish even less than I would because what I think is just "15 minute break before I do [thing]" rapidly turns into 3 hours and I think the classic "Well, I guess I'll do it tomorrow" despite the day having so much of it left.

Also, something that has always been a bit scary to me about being confined most of the time is "How you think the world works vs How it actually works". Having a warped perception of reality can be absolutely brutal, especially if you never have a chance to realize it. I don't really think I've suffered from this but I fear it might happen while I have no idea it has.

Only a punishment if you're prone to guilt, can't mentally handle large periods of solitude or prone to addictions. It's almost like a filter in a way

My Life as a NEET.

Being a NEET is mid. It's alright for me being a NEET. How did I become a NEET in the first place? I'm glad you asked, I decided to be in Hikikomori mode because I was struggling with societal pressures and family dynamics. I express a deep hatred, fear and distrust against society (Family, friends, etc), law and the government. That's why I prefer initiating a severe social withdrawal. I'm much of a doomer/Hikikomori/NEET kind of individual.

>>2294
Do you see yourself ever wagecucking? This can go for anyone who is a neet.

When I first heard this years ago, I thought he was just babbling nonsense. Yet it stuck with me and over time I came to understand just how entitled the boomer generation actually is so it probably isn't too far from the truth. NEET, do you think your parents might have a life insurance policy on you and are just waiting for you to croak?━━━＼(＾o＾)／━━━

>>3558
i hate his tone, although in a sense i understand what he is saying. (he's still a bitch though) instead of having a life insurance policy its medical insurance and i'm told its expensive as fuck and if the job i am training for doesn't work out then i'll have to work a retail job or go homeless

>>3544
some people want a specific topic to discuss that you can't normally find on other sites. some people hate the state of "insert site here" and want to create an alternatve. some people want to know what it feels like to run 4chan (or insert site here). some people want to test their skills so they make an IB to test shit out, some are super fucking jewish so they make IBs to steal peoples data, to steal from other communities, give infomation to feds, or for shady reasons that can't be understood.

>for shady reasons that can't be understood.
like what? people need to realize that just because you don't understand something doesn't mean they have bad intentions.

>>3546
imagine making an altchan to fuck with specific people, or better yet weird generic altchan out of bare bones code with genric run of the mill names with zero moderation that is then shilled on thousands of sites and altchans only for it to be deleted a day later.

>>3548
imagine not being a useful idiot.

I've never really felt like I wanted to create an imageboard myself, but if I were to guess, I'd say it's probably gratifying when other people engage with something you've made/control. This is a very human feeling that also motivates artists (and many others too I bet). Additionally, creating a small community allows you to make it exactly how you like and to experiment with new ideas. I also suspect that some people enjoy the feeling of power and importance they get by being *the* site owner.

Personally, I've fantasized about making a website where people can spontaneously collaborate on projects. Like for example, someone records a guitar riff and uploads it, then another user adds a bass line, and then someone else adds drums or sings on top, until the song is complete. I've seen stuff like this happen on 4chan, but having a website specifically dedicated to this would be pretty cool. But I don't think I'll ever bother with it.

to be honest i'm pissed at myself for not saving the original fucking thread. it was a pain in the ass to even find an original screencap but it was on 4plebs. also this other thread was a fun read.

why not just torrent? you won't get viruses or whatever, that's just propaganda spread around by hollywood. but stay away from the pirate bay. their website has some malicious javascript on it. use 1337x.to or torrentgalaxy intead.

use a vpn if you live in usa but if you live anywhere else then you probably don't need one. make sure to use a paid vpn. don't use free vpns, they collect and sell all your data. that's how they can afford to be free. also it'll probably be using most of your CPU's processing power to mine some cryptocoin every time you have your computer on, vpn switched on or not. avoid free vpns like the plague.

oh and one last thing: use a good torrent client. I recommend either qbittorrent or transmission. deluge is also ok but qbittorrent and transmission are better. don't use utorrent, it contains a litecoin miner.

been talking to cats by attempting to imitate their voices

>>3027
I do that, but when I do my cats look like they are judging me.

I like hitting excess Ice in a freezer with a hammer and feeding plants the ice shards.

I fap nearly every day but haven't watched porn in years. Just think about women that I know instead. In todays world, not watching porn when you fap is probably a bizarre habit.

I stopped watching porn years ago when it occurred to me one day: when you watch porn and fap at the same time, you're basically getting cucked right? Even though you're separated by both time and space, you're still fapping while watching another dude have sex with a girl that you're not having sex with. That means you're getting cucked.

>>3523
but its also faggotry if you think about it further. your a man, who is grabbing your own penis to pleasure yourself, if grabbing the penis of and pleasuring another man is homosexual, then the same also applies to a singular man, pleasuring himself.

I watched a British movie today, and I fucking loved it so much that I tried to edit it to one of my childhood songs (even though the song has kind of aged badly listening to it now). Not sure if I'll continue making it, but if I get enough feedback, I'll maybe consider.

Minor spoilers for Hot Fuzz (2007).

The frame rate at the start of the clip is a bit too low maybe try and see if you can place a clip before it that fits so you don't stretch it as much, but if that doesn't work if you are using AE I think there might be plugins to make it look a bit more smooth.
At 0:23 that scene for the stick click fits very well but the clip after it is just very anti climatic. I would personally put a completely different scene after that.
You could also check out and learn from the 映画MAD (Movie MAD) tag on Nico Nico. Sort by highest popularity (再生数が多い順) or by oldest (投稿日時が古い順), or try looking up a movie name in Japanese and add MAD to see what comes up. I'd suggest going with that last option, as a lot of the stuff in 映画MAD is, well... not that great.

I'll see about finding ways to make the framerate on the introduction smoother/interpolate it, there was a part I had to cut where he was saying "'scuse me" or something to that affect, but it looked strange when its atop the instrumental portion of the song and he's not really saying anything (not trying to go for a silent film effect for a song of this vibe).
Also, I don't use After Effects for basic editing, except if I'm trying to animate or compose effects that's way too complicated for a video editor to handle. I do have some idea of how to smooth it out from some experiments I did in my media class and in my personal time. (Mainly using free software solutions, but it actually looks decent, and I'll try not to look like one of those unnecessarily interpolated movies, like The Hobbit in 48fps.)
As for the anti-climatic scene, I do plan on having a montage atop, and not just use that one elongated clip throughout ~0:23.
I also have an idea of adding an animated title composition atop that montage, but I don't want to get too ahead of myself and will just opt to put notes/placeholders on the timeline, until I get the basic structure of the edit to a satisfactory level.
Need to make sure the whole baseline vibe and feel is accomplished before adding atop it. Got to start small and then build on top of it, you know?
Also I'll try to look over some of these movie MADs you shared, and see what comes up. Best not to look at too many though, because I'm keen on doing my own thing, and not really copy other people explicitly.

Specifically for MAD editing if you are not using it yet I would recommend Reaper (fake trial) and then for any special effects I would apply them to the rendered output from Reaper in After Effects. In Reaper make sure to adjust the BGM to the BPM of the song so that any clips you put in are placed on the beat. You can look in this thread here >>>/vg/204 and go to the rentry.org link which will show you also how to set up Reaper correctly and additionally how to easily find out the BPM of the song you are using (You can ignore the rest since you are doing a regular MAD).
Here's some recent video I was making in Reaper for the Chibi Maruko-chan thread with the American Psycho source pack until I got a bit bored with it.

just to throw out a movie i had no clue existed and watched recently, its called Experimenter. i almost feel like its important in a sense due to how the experiment relates to our daily lives.

>>2311
Hard to specify, because I'm not sure how to call it in English. In German we say "Mürbteig" (shortcrust?), but the dough I made was actually slightly different and more sticky.
Let's just agree it was a simple cookie. :D

I made this cake the other day. It was fantastic! Make sure to be wary with the amount of sugar you use to make the peanut butter frosting because you can put yourself into sugar coma. I had to make a second batch where i had to taste test it with every spoonful of powdered sugar.

I also made the ""mistake"" of using jam instead of jelly but it doesn't matter.
