>>11922 >I spent the last 10 years enclosed in my room, and I'd like for me to get some good memories that are not just four walls. >I already got a job so that may be the least of problems for now. But I still live like a neet, never really ever going outside. Lucky I dropped out of high school when I was really young.. I wish I could get a job but it's so hard where I live. I don't know if a GED will be hard. It's hard to make friends now that everyones on their phones, maybe go outside to community places, public transport for example, strike up conversations if you see the same people over and over again, and if they ever invite you somewhere, go there. You could go to a coffee shop and hang out with old people, or to a bar which is a bit less exciting, and keep going there to have fun. I've always been frightened of the gym despite being around 60kg You could always volunteer, which country are you from? You could look at apartment posters, or whatever poster is there in the community. The phone kind of made everyone a NEET in a way, and university is probably the last place to make friends officially. You could check out sites like Tagmap(even if it is dead) with weird anons. Try going to conventions, anything. I've felt that the feeling of being a NEET leaves you once you regularly develop a habit of studying. Good luck hikarin!

This build is on the higher end... https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/kDwrKq CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core Processor (£319.97 @ Amazon UK) CPU Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler (£39.90 @ Amazon UK) Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX ATX AM5 Motherboard (£124.99 @ Amazon UK) Memory: Patriot Viper Venom 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory (£94.99 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Western Digital Black SN770 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive (£109.69 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Seagate IronWolf NAS 4 TB 3.5" 5400 RPM Internal Hard Drive (£106.99 @ Overclockers.co.uk) Video Card: XFX Speedster SWFT 210 Core Radeon RX 7800 XT 16 GB Video Card (£429.98 @ Amazon UK) Case: be quiet!

Also, AM5 type PC builds are more customisable, so if I wanted to change parts later on, it would be a worthwhile investment.

>>1733 here! i love both builds!, imo, if you feel comfortable i cant stress this enough, check ebay or facebook for second hand barely used or new parts, people throw stuff away for insanely cheap! especially right now. if youre worried about money you might be able to pick up a part or two youre interested in that someones throwing away for pennies, only downside is that you may not get warranty, which can be a deal breaker for some. not to blog on but if i used my build for example, brand new would have cost me over 4k AUD, but i bought 3/4 of it off facebook either brand new or barely used and i only spent around 2.3, just food for thought

>>1708 I buy thinkpad G50 from street vendor for 10 eurobuck and it just work, it even upgraded to the max by previous user, even SSD. What more need?

>>11672 Hikarin, have you been playing Civilization VII? Do you know if there are any good mods for Civilization VI? I wonder if it's received updates I learned about the Chaoshan region of China, it had been the origin of a lot of derivatives of it's culture, as it had been home to a lot of migration overseas. It had a lot of impact on Singaporeans, along with Indonesian Chinese, who were often the majority landowners, strangely often. Quite a few people there speak a variety of Mandarin that is the closest to ancient Chinese, and they're often referred to as the Teochew people. They also have a coming of age ceremony. Interesting people. https://www.omniglot.com/chinese/ A useful page for people trying to learning languages, a lot of documentation I'd recommend the movies, „An Elephant Standing Still” and „To Live” on https://kisskh.ws/ which I found a lot of East Asian shows in Also try out https://lightnovelpub.org/ for quite a few webnovels, albeit in English, Qidian would be better for Chinese https://www.konglongmandarin.com/ Another interesting website I came across to learn Mandarin from Peppa Pig

「 衆鳥高飛盡 孤雲獨去閒 相看兩不厭 只有敬亭山 」 「 The birds have vanished down the sky. Now the last cloud drains away. We sit together, the mountain and me, until only the mountain remains. 」 A poem about the Jing-Ting mountain, related to Zazen in Buddhism, which is related to the meditation. It's interesting how Japan diverged from Chinese Buddhism with schools of esoteric Buddhism with skull rituals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachikawa-ryu Chinese esoteric Buddhism never really flourished because of the persecution that arrived shortly after it began to be taught, and the name for it is literally related to the Tang dynasty - 唐密 It seems to be undergoing a small revival, with the designation of these temples by esoteric monks as important sites, because of their cultural influence outside China

>>11918 >if any of you hikarins knows how i could stop thinking like that or some other way to fix my issue, thatd be nice. i dont know why im writing this like im having a tech problem and am asking on reddit well... do you think poems are corny? even if it looks corny, what maters is that you made it, and that you made an experience. think in the flow, the best thought is infact, no thought is your game an rpg? i believe in you hikarin!

After some months, maybe a year, I finally got the real ending from Action Doom 2. It's a first person beat-em-up that takes a few queues from Streets of Rage and other games. The story can be quite nasty however, so if you can stomach the places it could possibly go, it's a really good game. And the real ending is worth it https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/123821-action-doom-2-urban-brawl-reloaded/

>>1756 I'm having quite some fun with it, it still needs more content of course, but it actually exceeded a bit my expectations, I thought it was going to be way more bare bones, almost like a demo, considering how convoluted the development seemed to be, but there's already quite a lot to explore and to do. I've been playing in an anarchy server I found, want to play together some time?

>>1765 >I've been playing in an anarchy server I found, want to play together some time? I might have to consider it honestly, it's hard for me to keep track of online games due to me not playing that much really. It happens with a group of friends I got that they jump from game to game every few weeks and I assume this would be the same really.

about 3 fiddy

>>11909 the weak shall inherit the earth

1 or 2 probably

id probably say 2... i can barely carry a chair for longer than a minute

>>11902 Probably around a 7. I do work out but I do the bare minimum. I can easily move 40 lb bags of salt around so idk

I spent my teenage years working with my dad running around on roofs, though I was mostly doing brainless lifting and not much tool work. But it was a lot of fun. Right now I'm just slowly working on fixing up and maintaining my car and getting tools for that as I need them, which is also a lot of fun.

>>11885 Cna you teach me about how to fix cars I have a drivers test soon

>>11889 you don't need to know how to fix cars to get your license silly hikarin you should learn how to do basic maintenance like change oil, replace air filter, replace tires, maybe change brake pads, etc.

>>11890 wait is changing oil easy can i do it myself i dont know how an air filter looks like....

>>11901 yes, the basic idea is: >put car on jack >unscrew cap under car and drain oil into pan >close cap >replace oil just be sure you are putting the right kind of oil as well as using the recommended amount (don't want to overfill it). most of the time you can just look it up. the air filter usually is just something you simply pull out and slide a new one in. that can also be looked up and easily done.

>>12 How'd you start out with learning music? I wanted to try to read sheet music too, just never got around to it.

>>13 I learned in my highschool choir class, although I don't entirely remember nowadays. I'm sure there are tons of resources online, but I don't know of any off the top of my head to recommend you. You'll have to go search them out yourself.

I think music and language are completely different things. The purpose of a language is to transfer information, the purpose of music is to express your emotions. I don't completely disagree with what the other anon is saying, I just think he's talking about a specific subset of music, the one with rules, as defined by music theory. But I don't think music should have rules, art doesn't have rules. Music is just noise, you can do whatever you want. Here, have some noise

>>28 Has the golden ratio ever been applied to music?

>>28 Art doesn't have rules and because of this contemporary art has become worthless. The idea of art not having rules is romantic but in reality it should still have standards.

>>11788 Reading the source code, sending requests to devs, and youtube tutorials. Documentation still sucks, it's terrible for data packs. Stitching them together along with resource packs brings issues too, we figured it out by disabling the wrong ones, and documenting things in a long procedure. We sometimes asked questions in the dev communities but they rarely got answered.

i got a day off today

>>11892 Saturday is perfect, I have SO much vitriol towards Mondays

Monday because it's the day of NEET dominance Sometimes I'll go get groceries when all the wagies are trying to get home from work, to add to the traffic and slow them down, while appreciating the environment and looking at school girls, because I have all day. It's comfy.

Sunday, because I still have to get busy in school during Saturday.

>>11331 GUILTY! Hang that nyagan now! I got the rope right here

Bit of a late response but how did that case go?

>>11759 No, not done with uni. Still a few years to go, i'm a part time student so it's taking some time. Working on it tho! >Any routines you recommend to get fit? Honestly I have been lifting so long I make my own routine based on what lifts I enjoy. There are plenty of beginner routines online, as long as you're doing compound lifts (aka exercises that hit multiple muscle groups, bench press, leg press, and lat pulldowns for example) and hitting all of your muscle groups (push, pull, legs, core) you'll be off to a great start. >And have money by the end of the year! Don't we all...

>>11766 Sorry hold on I didn't explain that well. Compound exercises hit multiple muscles. Like a pull up targets your back and bicep muscles. Compared to an isolated lift, like a bicep curl, that really only targets the bicep. And you want to work out different muscle groups. Push is chest and triceps, pull is back and bicep, legs and core are self explanatory. In the beginning it is common to do full-body days where you do an exercise that hits every group each day, but later on weightlifters usually switch to doing each group on separate days to hit them more intensely. If I were to create a beginner routine, it would be something real simple like: 3 (sets) x 8 (reps) dumbell chest press 3x8 lateral pulldown or assisted pull-up 3x8 leg press and three sets of however many crunches you can manage. Don't fall for the meme of autistically optimizing your lifts, do whatever you enjoy within reason. Lifting is in art as much as it is a science.

I had a resolution that I was going to keep my room clean. I even did a deep cleaning of my room shortly before new years but I'm already failing at this since my room is already becoming a shithole again. How the fuck do people keep their rooms clean?

>>11834 On the other hand, im wondering how people get it dirty. The worst I have is desk clutter from a lack of room. I put my clothes in my hampers, make my bed every morning (it takes 30 seconds at most). I clean sheets and vacuum maybe... once a month lol. could be better. What the hell are you doing to get it so dirty? Is it like... food dirty? Like plates???

>>11766 >>11767 how much can u do n00bz?

Never been to one. What books did you get?

>>11882 I got Paradise Lost, and How Markets Work for far less than they were worth since I bartered with the shopkeeper, it was fun. I really wanted a manga they had in a shop but was really expensive.

>>1570 i think i would prefer the 16th since i know for sure i will be free. what game should we play?

doesn't seem like there is much of an interest this month. before i try to organize the event, i should probably ask how many are interested in joining? if the interest isn't there then that's fine, i just would like to know so i don't plan for it and nobody show up.

surely next game night is coming back... soon

>>1744 My college term ends the middle of next month. If there's enough interest we can try for either the end of December or January. That is, if people want to restart the game night.

>>11828 What are you testing hikarin

>>1378 tomoko my beloved watamote is one of those mangas that kinda changed my life, somehow i guess.

watamote harem arc isnt real, I refuse to acknowledge the existence of femcel harem

I personally didn't like WataMote, mostly because of it's humor. I felt embarrassed af when she lied about things then it was revealed to others that she lied. I didn't find it funny at all, just embarrassing. But yeah she was really relatable otherwise.

>>249 I used to dream of a lover like Tomoko and thought I'd just kms without her, now Tomoko is a dyke and I'm convinced I'll have to live out my lifespan. Tomoko is best when she is a greasy gremlin

>>1805 She looks like a goblin

>>22 Is entropy randomness? How can I make use of it?

I think people focus on negativity more, which in turn means it spreads faster. Seems like an evolutionary thing. It makes more sense to focus on things that are dangerous as a survival mechanism, but this sense has become something unintended. The same phenomenon has happened with stress. I think a good way to spread positivity is to embody it. People respond to someone with positive attitudes, behaviors, and actions. Putting it simply, the best way to spread positivity is to be positive yourself!

>>24 >The same phenomenon has happened with stress. Can you tell me more about this? I know a lot of people who are unable to be stressed

>>25 What I mean is stress evolved as a survival instinct to help us escape and avoid danger. But it isn't meant to be something you experience often or for long periods. Stress in the modern day comes from long-term issues like financial struggles, overwork, relationship issues, etc instead of like.... running from a bear or something. Stress is the silent killer because it wasn't intended to be experienced how we experience it today.

>>24 I, in fact, do not find anything interesting in positivity.

Man. I thought the links to the torrent would work but what can you expect from an abandoned site.

>>1797 >>1798 >>1799 wait, maybe they could be in a private tracker? not in any myself. good luck! nyaa is the closest i could find... maybe there're raws with better quality? idk

>>1795 If you give me a little bit, later today I can use Jacket to find virtually every torrent of it to find a hq rip

>>1795 after using Jackett, the best i could find was the 44.8 GB DVDrip of the series. Unfortunately that may be the best you can find without private trackers or restoration projects as a Blu Ray release/anything official is probably never going to happen

>>1799 Hey Kujify, I've ended up taking the HD rip with chinese subtitles and adding English subs from an old and defunct translation group (Kiteseekers). Lmk if you'd like me to forward you the series in as high quality as you can get

>>1749 I lvoed it when i played it so long ago i still remember the music it was so good despite being garage band loops

btw a new chapter will be released soon

how does one cuddle? phone, i imagine? i have a body pillow i can hug. this sounds like a must-do, very essential experience that MUST be shared with a fellow boy.

>>388 >I only got 2 GitHub projects i relate to this so so much. do companies usually want 5+?

>>335 My luck was against me when I picked my uni because they never told us we would need to grind certificates or show off some github as portfolio. I never had any well untill I finished my master's

Recently, I started by using the 1.5k Kanji beginner deck. It seems incredibly useful and I've been supplementing it by starting on Wanikani as well as the Tofugu guide for Hiragana

why are you gae

cool

Do you like doing hackthebox and other ctfs? What videogames do you like? Have you tried emulating OSX or windows? Or more obscure systems? Thinking about going back to qubes myself..

>>1811 OP here. specifically on QubesOS gayming is not very good, something to do with the way the system sends input to the VM by default. you can hack it to work (i tried with Minecraft as a test) but it's obviously not the intention. i did not try emulating OSX but i did emulate Windows 7 and it was fine enough, about the same as emulating it on any other OS. >obscure systems i did emulate ReactOS on it, i suppose that counts i actually ended up switching off of it because i decided it was unnecessary for my threat model, and my 8gb laptop frequently ran out of memory during my daily usage.

People have been trying to make stuff like this forever. At the end of the day it's never something new, even live boards follow the same formula. Everytime a new ``next big things" seems to happen, it just remind me of a more creative and thought-through project that never went anywhere.

>>1353 thanks the 11 hours I get is after applying all those optimisations you suggested but as >>1355 Says, enabling amd_pstate driver did yeild better results by utilising the newer hardware powersaving features of my CPU . But I think this applies to my specific machine as opposed to something that would work with a ThinkPad . Using 'indicator cpufreq' to cap the max CPU clock to 500mhz while doing light tasks like reading PDFs also boosts the battery tremendously and make the laptop be comfy enough to used on the lap without getting 3rd degree burns I was basically trying to see if I can outlast MacBooks of my colleagues and not have to carry the 2 kilo brick of a charger ROGs come with

hello this is my desktop

>>11670 Hikarin I will beat you!

Neru is the most beautiful

>>11675 I can't tlel the difference between her and Kagamine Rin

>>11671 good. I live for their 2D tardbrain content

tutte >>11678 ok that's just racist

>>11697 Get some sleep Hikarin! I should take a break too, but NEET life sucks...

>>11697 i feel you hikarin. it's hard to allow myself to just chill out and enjoy doing nothing during my free time. i have a constant drive to be doing something justifiably productive. feels very bad to know i'm just "wasting" time relaxing when i could be doing something productive.

>>11730 i wish i could just go to a park and allow myself to relax but i feel as if i could be doing something else..

Kissu seems to be doing a New Years gikopoipoi meetup. Check it out here: https://kissu.moe/jp/thread/105688 Remember to make plans for New Year's Day/Night as we hang out in Gikopoi again, as is tradition. If you're someone that has plans to try streaming stuff like anime or games or audio, now is the time to do the troubleshooting because it can be very annoying to set it up since you have to convert the mic signal to some sort of emulated audio thing. Anyway, I hope to see you there. Remember to be on your best hikarin behavior because we'll be interacting with other communities! We must ensure a hikarin cultural victory! https://gikopoipoi.net/ Be there and be square.

>>1079 To clarify, this is an image/textboard/IRC-wide event and gikopoi also has its own community that hangs out there daily. It's a good chance to interact with lots of different dorks from different backgrounds (with a general shared interest that you would expect). You may want to go to the website now to make yourself familiar with it, although it's quite simple.

>>9988 I have a NEET job with a high entry barrier. I'm mission essential and just babysit the other crew and make sure pc's work

>>9988 if u can face people for few seconds each time u meet them, then a delivery rider. the comfy depends on weather and orders luck. it's literally the best for people who dislikes coworkers' bullshit for there's none. besides, you are -always- on the move, always kinetic, opposite to sitting in one place which have an effect on other wageslaver's mind (you don't understand it if you haven't done any) if u do not mind messing with your sleep cycle, then a nightshift bodyguard. the downside is this is already very close to police shit (and as we know police are people who sells their souls to whoever in power, so... up to u, depends on your morals and ideology), and there's a small chance of danger with criminals. coworkers' bullshit is also based on luck; if u get the alone one. then there's kurt cobain, worked as school janitor before he got big as a band. i bet that must have a certain solitary comfiness.

>>10498 >>10492 The upside to any security work is cops instantly let you go the moment they find out you work security. Even if they're fucking with you. Even if you happen upon their illegal road blocks while drunk. Even if you're high. They think >he's one of us! and let you go.

>>10491 I heard you needed a license so I stayed away from it >>9988 Maybe.. post office delivery? I can't think of one, exactly. Perhaps a coach at a gym. Maybe, the military or a trade

>>11705 >I heard you needed a license so I stayed away from it That depends on where you live. If you're in the US, that will depend on your state. My state does not require any specific license to be a security guard. I know this because I am an armed guard for state/military sites and did 4 years of unarmed work before this. I agree that being a security guard can be extremely easy and comfy, that's the entire reason I have done it so long. 80% of my job is watching anime or reading or playing vidya, and I have more responsibility now as an armed guard than I did before LOL. I will say though it is very dependent on WHERE you become a guard for. Avoid hospitals, convention centers, and sports arenas like the plague if you want comfy. Night shift is usually even easier and more independent if you want to avoid people.

>>11644 About 130 pages (A4) of scrapbooking this year. I have a lot of spare notebooks from my school days that are falling apart so I'm keeping one on my desk all the time. Physically writing down things as they come up and then processing them later digitally has been very helpful for developing my novels. Writing in the morning helps me set my goals for the day too. I want to get into keeping a proper diary one day though. Something that could last for a long time that I can look back on in 10-15 years.

Writing is nice but my writing form is abysmal. Typing is better but it's difficult to stop as I could type my thoughts forever if I could, probably. I could use to sketch stuff all the time though. I should normalize that since I waste my time daily anyway.

>>11676 Anon get one of these! A5's are always great! https://a.co/d/fqWEZyU >Physically writing down things as they come up and then processing them later digitally has been very helpful for developing my novels. Are they long anon? A diary would help you remember a lot of things too!

>>11691 It's so easy to edit spreadsheets I can't imagine how people'd done it years without Try sketching hikarin! It'll be worth the effort!

I have a txt file where I'll jot down some of my thoughts every now and then. I would love to write more often since I notice I am much more productive in my life when I am, but alas it is way too easy to procrastinate and throw the time away... My handwriting is pretty terrible, for whatever reason I cannot write in a straight line and the ends of my sentences tend to skew downwards
