Before TV, there was radio. Quite a lost art and what makes things great is that it's all FREE without copyright so you can legally share and download them. Audio quality varies since only a few master tapes were saved, while the rest were either thrown out or re-used during war times so copies were preserved second and third-hand. (Certain universities kept high qualities for educational reasons!) Some people digitally re-master and restored the audio and some were found in great condition. Some radio shows are VERY fucking good, with better writing than most tv shows! but it doesn't mean you'll won't stumble onto filler garbage.
Gonna link to a YouTube channel that has some radio plays with decent audio quality. (If you gentlemen know of others don't be afraid to share)

I was trying to find a spooky radio drama i listened to as a kid and i couldn't find it, but i found this which has a similar vibe. To me the horror of what was really going on which was revealed at the last second was great. I mean, they did hint at it but i was always kept guessing if the atronauts really did meet all their loved ones or not. The range of voice acting was nice too.

Raised the hairs on the back of my neck. I think it's a good listen for halloween.

It was hilarous to know that the author of the book voiced the AI, And that in real life the author is basically a dick to everyone, Much like the AI in the story. I found the ending to be silly, Besides that, The story was extremely disturbing.
The 5 people left basically became degenerates and fucked, and mentally regressed to children in a way. The AI put them through hell both psychological and real. If AM really wanted a body why didn't he make himself one? Perhaps this wasn't thought of since the original story was written in the 60's. Another thing is why did he just stick to 5 people? why not either make, or breed more?

i was listening to "the whistler" and to be honest the few episodes i heard where shit.
i decided to check out x minus one and the selection was much better. universe is a damn good episode.
also, moon be still as bright, mars is heaven and green hills of earth.
no contact felt sub par and the man in the moon was good at first but i dunno it feels like maybe it could have been better.

Yeah, people who wants 4chan to change while being influenced completely by 4chan aka OP. OP is a faggot.
>>2626
i only got into 4chan a couple years ago (i liked IBs before becoming familiar with 4chan). i'm not sure how to describe it but my likening towards 4chan dissipated when it started to feel more like i was surrounded by assholes rather than people pretending to be assholes. does that make sense to anyone? im slowly starting to use it less.
>>2631
i mean, people talk about reddit and other social media even after they stop using it. it's more like a "what went wrong" kind of thing.
>>2685
>it started to feel more like i was surrounded by assholes rather than people pretending to be assholes
I started to feel the same way, but I think it was more of a personal development than a change with 4chan. Realized just how little difference there is, pragmatically speaking, between acting like an asshole and being an asshole. Particularly when things get simplified into so much text. Besides, when's the last time you heard of a good person pretending to be an asshole for a laugh? However it douches itself for the public, an asshole's gotta shit somewhere.
Here's how I look back on 4chan. It's like when you're a child and there's this older kid that always hangs out with your bunch. He talks like a pervert and plays rough, but he's cool because he's older. Then one day you're grown and you happen to remember him, and realize that he wasn't actually all that cool. Just another kid with his own problems, nursing his ego by hanging around a smaller pond. Hindsight shifts perspective. Suddenly all the times he put you in a headlock or called you stupid don't make him look any cooler.
>>2687
yeah, i admit a lot of the reason i gravitated towards 4chan in the first place is cause it was "edgy." it didn't really occur to me that edginess isn't just this thing that exists in a vacuum. it wasn't until i started seeing actual harmful irl behavior from users that i realized, "oh. it's not just people saying dumb things on the internet." and i realized i honestly contributed to that type of behavior by saying some really messed up and inflammatory stuff. sometimes because i thought it was fun, other times because i wanted to let off steam by being an asshole.
just saying the messed up things i did probably pushed other people to actually *act* like assholes, even if it's just text.

Instead of drinking Gatorade, consider drinking flavorless Pedialyte. another alternative is pickles and pickle juice, which also helps with heatstroke and cramping muscles. Gatorade is kinda gay because the sugar tends to slow you down. Like the aftereffects of drinking coffee where you crash after the caffeine high.
I gained some weight, and to be honest it won't be too hard to lose weight because it will only take time to count calories. Previously, I would have been very demoralized by the prospect of losing weight.
I played some tennis and I lost every match. It was fun still, mainly because I am rusty at the sport. I suppose I'll get better with more playing.
There was this thing i bought at a yard sale called the "perfect pull-up bar" and i have to say it works pretty damn good. It goes in between a doorframe and you can do several diffrent workouts but pullups are the primary reason to use it. It took a few weeks but i started feeling results. It was nice to have the ability to climb stuff and do more yardwork without burnint out faster.

I have a pull-up bar somewhere in my room but I've failed to set up the bar properly. It has escaped me why I never went through with finishing it but I never did.

Twoot abandoned us.
We were left in the bunker for more than a year.
The radiation faded and we were finally able to leave our bunker and create a new home. A new frontier, made entirely by us and for us.
It's been pretty darn cool.

itt: we share, discuss, and track projects in development hell
>Development hell, also known as development purgatory or development limbo, is media and software industry jargon for a project, concept, or idea that remains in a stage of early development for a long time because of legal, technical, or artistic challenges (Wikipedia). The term Vaporware may alternatively be used for software and video games.
Here's 3 projects that I check in on every now and then:
>Despera
Anime written by Chiaki J. Konaka with designs from Yoshitoshi ABe, the duo that brought you Texhnolyze and Serial Experiments Lain. First announced in 2009. Despera was to be directed by Ryutaro Nakamura, also of Serial Experiments Lain, before his death in 2013. Konaka is still invested in the project, giving brief updates on Twitter every couple years. The most recent piece of info I could find is from March 2021, just saying the project was delayed for a year due to the pandemic but has never been abandoned. The protagonist of Despera is Ain, a young girl in Taisho-era Tokyo one year prior to the Great Kanto Earthquake. She is an inventor of some description, who miraculously builds devices with no prior technical knowledge. It seems she'll be very similar to a certain other technophile protagonist. The setting seems very interesting. It is very well researched and historically dense. There's an art book out containing illustrations and a short story written in period accurate Japanese:

>At the Mountains of Madness
A film adaptation of the best (don't try and deny it) Lovecraft story by Guillermo del Toro that he's been trying to get going since 2006. His main battle has been getting a studio to pick it up. He's been through Warner Brothers and Universal. Del Toro wanted a weird, horrifying film true to the Lovecraft novella, studios kept trying to shoot the idea down for being too scary and R Rated and not having a typical hollywood love story and not having a happy ending and other such bullshit. A brief VFX test and screenplay script from 2013 were recently dropped, but since then Guillermo del Toro has retooled into making a shorter/weirder film with Netflix and having it be in stop motion, both fantastic decisions in my book.

>The Bob and Larry Movie
This one treads the line between development hell and lost media. A VeggieTales origin movie that's been struggling since 2003. It covered it all; where the talking vegetables came from, how they influenced world events. It would have had humans in it, and veggie-human interaction. It would have revealed how Bob and Larry met, and what they did before they got their jobs on the VeggieTales show. All the deep lore, finally out in the open. Unfortunately this piece of cinematic history was strangled in the cradle. Big Idea's 2003 bankruptcy following the HiT suit, the abject failure of Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie and the In the House series, the acquisition by Universal and subsequent firing of all 10 members of the VT creative team. But, wouldn't that just make this film a failed endeavor? That's not development hell! What am I trying to pull here? Well, let me tell you: the film is out there. The series creator, Phil Vischer, claims to have a copy of the film stowed on his laptop. Furthermore, he is willing to share it with the hungry public. The only obstacle is Universal and Dreamworks' claims to the IP. These are difficult times, but we must be patient. The day will come.
i can only imagine a mountains of madness movie with del torro especially since his deal is bringing creatures to life with practical effects
i think though the sheer length of the flick would be like 4 hours long and i'm sure the price would be high but damn would it be interesting to see brought to life.

This thread is for the comic I've begun working on, "A Polaroid Video of Folding Space". All posts about the comic should be in this thread. All updates will also be in this thread.
It's an anonymous comic I'm working on for free, and the cats here seem to be excited for it, so I will be uploading all 11 pages ITT.
>What is this about?
Something happened to Percinnius. An ancient ghost with a visage of diamonds and wrapped in reflective shadows was born into the world, doomed to forever be hunted by the praeternatural manifestation of opposition itself and eternally shunned by the worlds he is a part of. His goal; to reveal the secrets of life and death, so that he may return to the land of the living and experience true warmth once again.

This is just a silly way I came up with to define God, which makes some sense (to me) and is loosely compliant with the attributes commonly associated with God.
Let's define God as any "thing" that is all-knowing, all-powerful and omnipresent, and humanity as all of the humans that ever existed and will exist, their actions and their experiences.
We can notice than that:
- Humanity is all-knowing, because there will never be anything that a human will know that will not be known by humanity (since that human is part of it)
- Humanity is all-powerful, because no human will ever be capable of something that humanity isn't (since that human is part of it)
- Humanity is omnipresent, because no human will ever be in a place not reached by humanity (since that human is part of it)
Therefore, humanity is God.
You're probably disappointed. Firstly, this is captain obvious-tier logic: of course no human is better than the best of all humans that ever existed (at the very least because no human is better than himself). But thing is I'm not trying to reveal some deep insight here; this is just a definition, as arbitrary as all are.
Secondly, you might be thinking: "what kind of lame all-knowledge/all-power/omnipresence is that? It shouldn't be so relative to humans! At the very least, God should be better than humans!". Well, if you insist that God must be absolute, then my definition sucks, case closed. But before you refuse to compromise on that, consider how human-like God is in most religions. According to Christianity, humans were created "in the image of God"; but if we resemble God, then God must resemble us. In general, there is much human character to the Gods of every religion. But if you think about it, just like the earth is not the center the solar system and the sun is an average star in the galaxy, it's quite unlikely that there's anything "central" or "absolute" about humans. So in my opinion, a truly absolute God of the universe wouldn't be similar to us.
At the end of the day what I'm doing is, between the two contradictory ideas about God being "similar to humans" vs "absolute", choosing the former. I find this amusing because it seems like everybody else would rather choose the latter.
So, what do you think? Is this lame or neat? Do you find thinking about words this way to be sterile? Or perhaps if you have your own silly definition of God, I'd like to hear it!
