Hi anon, I'm a refugee from /kind/ and just wanted to say a big thank you for the kind welcome over here on wapchan!

my dance is too dense4u ;p

Dammit, I (OP) got myself.

>>111 Damn, I got myself again.

I'll start off by saying that I have a pretty substantial collection, but I'm really fond of the Yamaha FB-01. It's not the crown jewel of my collection or anything, but I think I only paid somewhere around $60 for it and it was well worth the price. The synth features a Yamaha YM2164 chip that gives you that late-'80s-arcade-game sound. There's no editing it from the front panel, but I have Patch Base on an iPad I use exclusively for editing old synths. It also distorts really easily, so you have to take that into account when you're making sounds. But with that in mind, it was a steal considering what I paid for it. I made some DX7 sounds trying to get close to the FM sounds you heard in video games from that time period, but the FB-01 gives you that sound right off the bat. Although it lacks the versatility of the DX7, I find the sound much less harsh in comparison.

>>98 >As time goes on, it seems like people's interests get further and further from my own. Most zoomers feel downright alien to me. i get this a ton because *i’m* a zoomer (b. 2004)… i got into anime because my dad owned it on vhs and stuff. it feels like so many people just kind of move with the current trend waves (especially in bigger cities) and it becomes so much harder to find friends with similar interests. usually the only people who like the same stuff i do usually have autism which makes them antisocial and stuff so it’s just a very self destructive cycle :-C but i’m still gonna try there’s a model toy store in chinatown so maybe i’ll check that out. or more comic/hobby stores. i don’t think it’s over just yet but i don’t really know what to do otherwise. it’s pretty distressing not having any friends because i’m not antisocial or anything, just forgettable i guess. but these are fixable issues…

I'm over a decade older than you, but I've always found it hard enough to deal with people my own age. My case is similar to yours where I grew up with stuff from before my time, but at least back in the '90s and early 2000s a lot of those things hadn't been seen as niche interests or memoryholed yet. I feel more close culturally to Gen-Xers and early Millennials, but even most of them seem to cling to the latest fads in the way that you mention. As far as things like music, movies, TV, and video games go, most of the stuff I really like is decades old. Some of the stuff I'm into my grandparents would consider old hat. >there’s a model toy store in chinatown so maybe i’ll check that out. or more comic/hobby stores. i don’t think it’s over just yet but i don’t really know what to do otherwise. it’s pretty distressing not having any friends because i’m not antisocial or anything, just forgettable i guess. but these are fixable issues… I have the same problems that you mention but am also enough of an asocial autist that I have problems maintaining relationships. If it wasn't for my family, I don't know what I'd do.

>>97 Hey, I'm also in Seattle and like 60-80s anime. What do you want to talk about? As for making friends in real life...I also do yarn crafts, so I started going to a weekly knitting circle, but I'm not friends with the other people there. It is nice to hang out and socialize IRL every so often, though. I've met up with some other yarn craft people, but the problem is that we'll both have life things and next thin you know six months have passed and it feels weird to always be the one reaching out. I don't have a solution there, past "keep reaching out", maybe "set up a scheduled time to hang out once a month so you're both committed", but that's once you already have a relationship.

Have you had any luck yet, OP?

>>95 That's a pretty tough hobby you've got there, OP? I'm pretty big on anime myself and if all you wanted to talk about was stuff from the 60-80s we'd probably have nothing to talk about after an hour, haha. Ever thought about branching out your interests? Music, Movies, Board Games, Books, Dancing, Yoga, Martial Arts, Arts and Crafts, Drawing, Woodwork etc? >>100 You're pretty young still, have you tried checking out local university societies (if you even go to university)? I was able to make my entire current irl friend group from going to the vidya/anime society they had there and discovered a lot of those guys loved retro gaming and anime and I talked about it with them all the time. It's my go to for younger anons and even freshers at uni, uni soc's are some of the best places to meet like minded people. Check out the community centers and stuff around your area too, might be a good shout if you're looking for friends. I'd also say that comic cons can be great places to meet people, if you see someone cosplaying a character you like you can usually run up to them and just be like "woah cool cosplay" and get a conversation going, in some cases you can add their contact info and become friends with them. Meetups are good for this especially if you can cosplay a character from that, I went to an Ace Attorney meetup a few years back and joined a discord full of AA fans and while I'm not super active there anymore, it seems like it's full of like minded people that just wanna be friends and have a fun time over a shared interest. Hope I helped you man.

Its unbelievable this guy exists. He's like a character from a TV show. He's almost like 'Amir' from 'Jake and Amir'.

>>107 yeah, the ‘tism will do that

>>106 I only got into him right before the Tomgirl Saga started, but I miss the old Chris-Chan. >>107 He does seem more like a fictional character than a real person. He has the goofy quality of an Ignatius J. Reilly or someone like that.

>>108 I have the 'tism and I'm nowhere near as interesting or entertaining as Chris. >>109 Chris just got more and more entertaining as he approached 2011, then BAM halfway through he just becomes pityful and sad. When he stopped wearing the striped shirt is when everything went bad.

>>79 What happened to 04.sbs? the link I have doesn't seem to work anymore, did it get shutdown as well?

>>80 That site is still around, but purely on HTTP (if you try to access it over HTTPS it won't work). http://04.sbs

reply test

>>79 I remember some hikari3.ch anon.cafe/comfy/ junkuchan.org/whitelist/

>>81 Oh I'm sorry, I was worried for it since the link hasn't been working for a while and couldn't find anything about it. Good thing it's still online, I love its new design! >>79 I found a snapshot of the imageboard, it has the friendlist in it, you might have already found the sites but I'm posting this here anyways in case someone else is curious. 1.
