/kind/ streaming

Heyya,

there is a new iteration of /kind/ again! To celebrate it, its planed to stream some show again. This time, everyone here should vote on what will be streamed. The options are:

- Sōsō no Frieren - Laid-back, but also sad slice of life story about an elf-girl realising she will outlive every human around her.
- Scavengers Reign - SciFi animated show that follow survivors of a space ship wreck that now have to survive on an alien planet and adapt to its unique flora and fauna.
- Hilda - Bluehaired girl lives through various adventures vaguely inspired by Scandinavian lore. Very beautiful.

Just post which show should be watched and if possible also prefered timezone, to make planning a little bit easier.

The first streams should start this weekend so (2024-05-11/12). The exact time will be set on friday, for now its planed to stream each day for one hour.

Welcome back /kind/!

Anti-insanity countermeasures

I am slowly starting to go insane day by day. That's the best way that I can put what has been happening to me. I've been doing and have had things done to me that are unexplainable and basically physically impossible. Things that I would never do, I suddenly start doing for no reason. Over the most trivial and nonsensical things, I start screaming hysterically and mumbling to myself and no matter what I do, I can't stop it. This board is called /kind/ and it says "No Bully! Help Others!". I need help from anyone who has experienced something similar and, if possible, a countermeasure to ward off whatever this is, be insanity or something completely different. I don't even use the internet at all anymore, nor do I have any contact with other people, but I'm running out of ideas. Also, I know how to write Japanese so please talk to me in Japanese if you can, just for fun.

Galatea v3.0.8 (and other robowaifus)

I created the Galatea Multipurpose Companion Maid Robot. It is designed to be an IRL robo-maid girl. Local AI means you can talk with her, and she has actual practical uses. She's also very customizable, you can choose the color, dress, head, hair, and even AI.
I intentionally designed her to be easy to build with the instructions.
I intend this to be the Model T of humanoid robots and robotic companions, while it is not the most complex, it is easy to mass produce and cheap.

Current version as of this post is version 3.0.8

Any job recomendations for a (soon to be former) NEET?

One that requires little to no social interraction. One of those do-nothing jobs like gym receptionist or librarian but actually common and not near-impossible to attain.

I apologize for my ignorance, my knowledge when it comes to real world stuff is akin to that of a toddler since I haven't participated in society for a really long time, I humbly ask that you respond accordingly. Unfortunately, right now, I really need income so I have no choice. Any help is greatly appreciated.

overstimulation

Cyberspace is overstimulating. Internet capable digital devices give us a constant stream of titillating content (music, video, porn, games, chat, news) which overwhelm our brains and deprive us of rest. In this relentless electric environment we always need to watch something, see what others are posting, and have an opinion, otherwise we feel chronically bored and empty. The cognitive overload leaves us to mentally exhausted to enjoy the things we genuinely like. I'm sure everyone knows the feeling of hours aimlessly surfing to try to plug that irritable, bored, empty feeling while not feeling like doing something actually worthwhile.

How to deal with this problem? Cutting out all digital devices is sensible but not practical for most people.

Accomplishments thread

I think it might be nice to make an accomplishments thread, where we can share things we’ve achieved that we’re proud of and give each other congratulations and encouragement. Anything is fine, from the small things to the big. As long as you feel proud and want to let someone know, this thread is for you!

Recently I managed to succeed in achieving a long-held goal of moving to and working in Japan. I Have been studying Japanese for just about 8 years (on and off) and despite some setbacks, I have had the opportunity to move here and secure both a 5 year visa and a decent job at a Japanese company where I get to use the language daily. Feels like everything I’ve worked towards for several years has finally come together and paid off. I know it’s not going to always be easy, and I still feel like I have a long way to go, but I’m quite happy that one of the few things I’ve made any significant commitment of time and energy towards has borne fruit.

Anger issues

How do you deal with anger? I have this bad habit of raging and lashing out at people. Sometimes I don't even know why but other times I'm just frustrated at life. Sometimes I'll be thinking something in the back of my head, a person starts talking to me about something and then I become frustrated, raise my voice and get hostile. I'm not sure what to do about it and most people just tell me to get a grip which isn't helpful.

otaku disillusionment

I feel like I'm loosing interest in otaku related media and culture. I'm just exhausted by everything and rarely find anime I like. At the same time, I've slowly become more and more interested in traditional Japanese and East Asian culture, folklore, and religion. I think I'm burned out and need some recommendations. The problems I'm having are:

1. Repetitive themes, plot structures, and character types. It feels like every genre has been done to death at this point.

2. Lack of artistic skill. A lot of anime looks and feels the same. There's less stylistic diversity, lack of attention to setting the scene, framing shots well, just telling the story visually etc. I don't blame the animators for this. Its the conditions they work under.

3. Immorality and lack of meaning. Now this is a tough one. A lot of anime is like porn that's just meant to titillate you visually or satiate your need for genre slop. Its like a big greasy hamburger and who doesn't want one of those once in a while? But man cannot live on burgs alone, unless he's American. A lot of otaku slop feels spiritually worthless. There's no real reflection on important life themes or cause for reflection or really anything. A lot of anime and games half ass it resulting in neither a sleazy hamburger or a well made nutritious meal but a god awful hybrid.

I need recommendations /kind/.

Is this normal?

Okay, so I was walking around some mall when I saw some ads for lingerie with conventionally hot models. I looked at their legs, boobs, the lace and noticing the structure of her bones and my instant thought was "people like this? her bones look yucky" Then it hit me. I haven't had an irl romantic interest in nearly 3 years and haven't felt sexually attracted to someone irl in more than a year. I don't find 3DPD porn arousing and don't like jerking off either. Obviously it wasn't always this way. Its frustrating because I like my dose romance slop but have stopped getting crushes on irl people years ago. What the hell is happening to me? Why am I loveless/sexless all of a sudden?

Habit Building

Many of us struggle with consistency in our lives, outside of the parts forced on us by obligation, such as work. Self improvement is never easy, but if we focus on small, consistent goals, we can make it.

I personally never really had many healthy habits, some more fundamental than others. I am going to start with a few simple ones, because I know from experience that trying to fix everything at once leads to burnout.
>Dental Hygiene
Simple as it sounds. Brushing and using mouthwash in the morning and evening, and additionally flossing at night. This sounds simple, and that's because it is. Yet I never did it consistently - there have been long stretches where I haven't.
>Reading 10 pages of a (non comic) book.
I spend hours and hours on my computer and phone a day, and it will be difficult to cut that down. But I also recently got an e reader, and I don't read a lot. Even on that device I tend to just read a bunch of manga, and manga's good and all, but I know that consistently reading more traditional books will help me in the long run.
>Listen to a new song a day
This is something that may seem weird, but I don't listen to music much. This comes naturally to many people but I always just spent my time watching youtube videos or doing other actions. I'm no good when people ask me if I know x or y song. Hopefully I can change that. At some point I'd like to progress this from "song" to "album".
>Drink tea/coffee
I am fortunate to have never particularly enjoyed soda, since i really don't like those carbon dioxide burps. But that means I tend to just drink a bunch of water, and there's nothing wrong with water, but I feel like tea could do me a lot of good for relaxing my nerves.
>Talk to someone new in a conversation I initiate
This is the hardest one by far. I really, really hate doing this, but I am also sick of being a wallflower at parties unless I know someone and I tend to get unhealthy attached to people in my life due to my few consistent connections. This even extends to talking on the phone, everything feels so much harder when you can't just backspace and rethink things like on a instant messenger. It doesn't matter how brief the interaction is or if it's "necessary". It's a start.

Post what you're working towards as often as you want - let us know your triumphs, your defeats, but most of all your commitment to improvement. We should all uplift each other.

AI brainrot

I've quickly become addicted to AI chatbots. At first this was because search engines are Hitlar level retarded and I can never find what I'm looking for or get swamped with ads. AI bots seemed to get that done easily. But slowly I also got it to fact check, fix grammar and writing errors, re-writes, help be draft and plan schedules and compile lists for me or help me find music. But things have spiraled out of control. I have rapidly lost confidence in my ability to do anything. I've become dependent on it checking my work or fixing errors. I've lost all confidence in my own abilities now. I'm less creative and more depressed. This shit is killing me. I just want to be free of this curse. This stuff kills the mind.

I always thought this slinding thing is a fucking meme considering it didn't even slided like it was advertised when I first try. I have pour some oil on the mat in order to get rid off all the friction, after then I able to slide.

Now I'm having gay girls thought regarding this stuff.

Filtration failure

Its Sunday evening.. Sazae-san syndrome sets in. I decide to use what little time I have left to enjoy something but what? Endless amount of stuff to watch, endless amount of stuff to see. I play one thing for 10 minutes, get bored. Okay, let's play a game, I trawl through the library and nothing feels appealing, 15 minutes later I feel like I've wasted my time. Endlessly cycling through content, reading news articles, watching random youtube videos. I can stream all the anime I want, but why can't I just pick one? Scrolling, scrolling through an endless sea of content. This is how my last few hours of freedom end. Overloading my brain with more content than it can process leaving me unable to enjoy anything. I know I'm not the only one feeling this. But how do we overcome it?

Post your writen Kanji character with correct stroke order that you like and also write a Japanese word that has that Kanji character. You need to also write their meanings in English. Please avoid writing long words that have more than 3 kanji characters. We'll do this in a rotation mode like for instance, after 20 posts of written kanji have been made here, we'll switch into another Kanji character. You can use a computer drawing application and choose your favorite brush to do your calligraphy or, post your real writing on a piece of paper using whatever writing instrument you like. For your guide on how to write a correct kanji stroke order, browse for that kanji character yourself at jisho.org.

What does it mean to be kind?

The flaw of kindness as a moral principal is that it's voluntary and not rooted in a sense of shared obligations or really sharing in anything. You give out of kindness expecting nothing in return, but there is no obligation to be kind. We can analyze impulses to be kind as either externally or internally motivated. An external motivation could be force, fear of punishment or something less darker like wanting to build a reciprocal relationship. An example of an internal motivation would be Mencius' famous parable of the baby falling into the well. Mencius says that any stranger would be emotionally distressed at seeing a baby about to fall into a well and at least want to stop it. This underlines the Confucian principal of innate human goodness. In today's society, there is no real external or internal demand to intervene. So where does our modern kindness draw its moral force? Nowhere? Society's desire to make everything voluntary, even feeling emotions for others, has only increased social cruelty and the number of forgotten outcasts left to rot.

Maybe genuine kindness isn't possible without care? Like a mother caring for her child, the relationship is two way and built on reciprocity, constantly giving and receiving affection, attention, happy moments. We can't all be mothers and treat everyone else as our children, but we can form bonds based on giving and receiving affection and caring for each other. But how can you care for others on an imageboard? Technology makes it truly hard to relate to others.

Drawfriend : Pixel art progression edition

Alright I am super bored. Looking at so many beginners posting their bad art over and over again on imageboard without a single budge of improvement is making me sad. So here I'm gonna make a draw thread anime style specifically in everyday progression until the artwork is finish. I will do my artwork with a mouse in a rather very orthodox kind of drawing technique. As for why you might ask I'm doing this in pixel art instead of normal drawing? Because I don't like to spend too much time in drawing, and also it could hurt my hand when I try to perform high detail drawing. Hold your butts, I'm gonna do this in a very decent quality pixel art.

Why do people hate that I am carefree?

This is the second time it’s happened and it’s killing my mood. They’re mad at the fact that I am just trusting the process on whether I get hired at this job I applied to. They told me to go apply for other jobs but the thing is I already did and I technically have two more interviews this month.

The year comes to an end

It might suprise ya all, but we are approaching november pretty quickly.

So I thought, some /kind/ new years eve party could be fun. Would be fun.

By pure coincidence I also got my first DJ controller recently ((੭˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)੭₊˚❀༉‧₊˚) and I'm learning quickly how to mix music. Wouldn't it be nice to play a liveset at the hypothetical new years eve party? That way I stay motivated to train on the deck and I could give something unique to /kind/.

Tell me what ya think and also if ya got more ideas for an new years eve party.

Ergonomics

Is your workstation /kind/ to your body?
I've been trying to get serious about good ergonomics, but there's so much information and so many products out there that it's difficult to know what to spend money on and what to do in general. Does /kind/ have an ergonomic set-up? Are there are any ergonomic products you like (or dislike)? Not just for computers, but even things like book stands and ergonomic pens. Are there any stretches you like? Do you do any other activities to help prevent/reduce pain, like grip training?
A lot of people swear by trackballs and mechanical keyboards. Have you ever tried these? Did they work for you?

I've been extremely depressed for a very long time, and the one thing I've found happiness and meaning in has been my friend's little sister. While hanging out with my friend years ago and she joined us and I basically became attached to her from there. I was happier than I'd ever been in my life the day I met her, but I became depressed shortly after, and I'm not sure why.

It's been close to eight years since I've met her, in between that we've shared a lot of great memories and gotten pretty close, but now the depressions worsened and I fear we're sort of drifting away from each other, like now that she's a teenager she's starting to view me as more of a nuisance and is growing out of being around me. My friend and I discussed this, and we thought of all hanging out together and maybe having a chill discussion where i could express some of these feelings and memories we've had, hobbies we share, that sort of thing.

I've long thought that I guess in a way confessing to her and having a heart to heart with her would make us closer and might help me understand why I've been depressed, but it's still something that terrifies me. Bringing the idea up with my friend, who was really supportive was already extremely difficult. I'm hoping things go well. Thanks for reading my vent post I guess.

2HU TOURNAMENT - TOUHOU 12.3 HISOUTENSOKU - AWAKENING

Your board is cordially invited to participate in a SOKU TOURNAMENT. Enter to compete for glory for yourself and your board.

TOURNAMENT STARTS AT MARCH 23RD, 8PM UTC https://time.is/UTChttps://prolikewoah.com/t/20240323T20

MAIN THREAD: https://zzzchan.xyz/japan/thread/11497.html

For those that do not want to register manually, post the name that you are signing up with in the main thread. It will be added to the brackets.

Hisoutensoku is an expansion to Touhou 10.5 SWR and is a multiplayer fighting game made by Tasofro with ZUN's approval. It's easy to learn, hard to master battle system makes for fun and fast paced matches with counterhits often launching girls across the screen. Very fast when played right. As a P2P game, game hosts must forward ports in order to play it or use specific workarounds.

DOWNLOAD LINKS:

Full installation: https://mega.nz/#!ashhnZza!cWdD2mqnQSfpzow5h_LDABQzHOnAiHDL62ceAOF6z9k

Modpack: https://mega.nz/file/m5ghXYLQ#waa_R8bY-JmApb3Xia__6MetYdKddmCk39QwkJEGlGc

Get soku, then extract contents of swrs toys (modpack archive) directly into the same folder.

To host, a hosting player forwards a port (detailed instructions are available on the internet) and provides IP with a port in an IP:Port format, launches the game and uses the Vs Network menu to start the server. Client connects to provided IP and port and plays game. For hosts, please be sure to check the options menu to set a port and disable the "post to bot" checkmark if you don't want random people from the lobby to join instead of people in the thread. If no one's joining in the thread, playing people from the lobby can be a good idea to practice!

Should a port be unable to be forwarded, workarounds exist - Autopunch is installed in a modpack and is used automatically in case of un-forwarded ports. Keep in mind that it can fail on some routers and workplace connections and that ping will likely be less desirable, so please forward your ports.

People are advised to check the main thread for hosted practice games and topical discussion. You never know what you may find!

Tinkering

Anyone here a big tinkerer? Managed to brick my android phone today when I was booted into custom recovery and hit "boot into slot b". Phone's useless now. I tried to use blankflash to fix it but it wasn't available for my phone so I used one for a similar phone and now my partitions are broken. First time I've straight up bricked a phone. I've bricked/broken a few other devices too
>Android tablet (Tried to remove battery that was non removable and in the process it wouldn't work anymore even when the battery was put back
>3DS (flashed new 3DS on old 3DS when I was transferring devices)
>Macintosh CRT (was trying to resolder pins and blew the electron gun)
>More than a few appliances that I took apart and didn't know how to put back together.
And of course I used linux for years, and always struggled. My life got a lot easier when I moved to mac os, but even on my macbook I nearly broke the thing when I removed the keycaps to clean them and realized they weren't really replacable so I had to take apart the whole thing and order a new keyboard and of course the fist one I ordered was for the wrong model so half the keys didn't work and apple puts rivets in their keyboards now so I had to superglue everything and in the process cracked the bottom of the display so now some of the circuit board is showing.
Maybe I should get a dumbphone? I don't know. Being an autist sucks sometimes.

just venting

I can see myself killing myself within the next few years. I know why. I'm afraid I will be all alone for the rest of my life. And if that continues on for the next couple years, I will lose all hope.
I don't know how to make friends, the long lasting kind, the close kind. What I see as what I have right now, and all that I will have in the future, is no close friends, no lover, just surface level relations with people and my lonely self. I wasn't like this before. I didn't care about human relations. I was happy in my room, tapping away at my keys, making stupid niche software that only I needed for my own personal use.
Though, even back then, somewhere in me, I knew I had to stop doing that eventually. My family wasn't so well off that the generational wealth could sustain a hikineet for life. I knew I had to get out into the real world, interact with people, earn income, learn to live on my own. Naively, I figured it wouldn't be so hard. I just need to be welcoming towards strangers and I can get by with my own life without trouble.
About a year ago, I moved to a different state, thought I'd start life anew. But now I feel the loneliness in my ways, and even more so the fear of it going on for the rest of my life.
I think I know what's stopping me from having friends, I don't hang out with people that are around me. I'd rather be in my room, in front of the computer. I don't care about having friends that will make me compromise. That's the other thing, I'm not willing to compromise for people, friends. If they're not "up to my standards", then I don't want to be with them. As simple as that. And I plan to stick with that.






Venting, or expressing your feelings with words, really is a good way to get a proper look at yourself and assess one's current situation. As retarded and annoying as it sounds, I'm just love-struck. I don't care for a single soul in the world, but am unreasonably obsessed with that single soul that my mind has grown attached to. And the fear of not being with them is what's keeping me up all night. Haven't felt this in decades. It was not the fact that I might "not have friends all my life". Fuck close friends that I need to change my ways to be with. I don't want them.
But I guess, it'd be impossible to start interacting with a single person on a deep level, if all your life you've avoided deep interactions with anyone. That's one thing I need to build on. I might not be able to achieve what I want right now, in this stage of my life. But even if I don't get it, I need to have hope that there will be other chances, and learn from my current self, in order to let my future self not miss said chances. That being said, I do not plan on giving up on my current self either. Need to overcome my fear of rejection.
Time to say fuck it and go ball.
This has been a helpful venting session, thank you /kind/.

Off your chest thread

Anything you feel like you need to say? Get it off your chest.

One thing about me is that sadly, I'm very cold by nature. It is extremely difficult for me to get close to people or even speak to them normally. I just feel horrible speaking to most people. But that isn't all; one other problem that arises as a result is that I can never get married or love someone. If I found that girl who was absolutely perfect for me, cute and sweet and likes all the stuff I do, has the same goals in life I do and finds within me someone to spend her life with, I'd be afraid of her. I don't know why; I always thought it was as a result of sexual abuse I sustained as a child causing me to fear intimacy, but honestly I start to wonder if it's even that. Yet I fantasize, I continue to fantasize of us playing video games together, joking around, eating together and sharing joy, and even maybe having children. My existence is a theater of fantasies and dreams that can never be realized because of my inaction and fear.

Hi /kind/!
Thanks for being the best bunch of folks one could find on the IB space. Something I was wondering is if you all wanted a bit more personalization for this board. Obviously wapchan's main theme & banners don't really have much to do with /kind/ itself, so I'd like to restore that feeling of autonomy you've always had. If you all have any suggestions on themes, banners, emotes, or anything else really, let me know.

Stoicism

Stoicism isn't about not having emotions as much as it is about taming them. Accepting your regrets of the past, then letting them go. Being aware of your anxiety for the future but letting things happen as they do. Understanding your anger while not letting it cloud your judgement.

I have been getting better at it, little by little. It's comforting to let go of worrying.

Nichijou!

Let's talk about our lives, anons. I mean, this is what this entire board is about so give us an update. Something small, something big. Just tell us what you're up to even if it's nothing special. Maybe update us every week or something. Don't dox yourself, just give us random insights or whatever.

Hope making a thread that's literally the board subject doesn't detract from this place any, I just wanted to spark some more discussion and thought I'd go the easiest route. I'd say to not talk specifics about anything you're watching/reading/playing (could make a separate thread for those), give us an idea of your life, fears, hopes, dreams etc. Things like that so this thread doesn't detract from the main point of the board too much.

Unfortunately, my life isn't very interesting or eventful at all, haha. I know I'm the one making the thread here but to be honest I spend most of my time playing vidya, watching anime, exercising, losing weight, hanging with friends and taking care of my family which involves shopping daily so everything is stocked up for them.

I've been trying to lose weight since last August since I've been quite overweight since I was around 11 and honestly feel it's been an awful factor of my life, it's been a slow and steady process but I've lost around 60 pounds over the past year and while it's not great progress (could've probably hit my target by now) it's something and it keeps me going. I honestly want to lose weight so I can cosplay characters at cons more than anything.

I've also been trying to find work, looking for jobs that I'm able to do is a difficult process and personally I'm pretty worried I might not be able to find something that pays a decent amount and that I can do. I gotta keep trying though, I
feel as if I have no independence at all and waste time when I should put it towards something even if it's a "soulless" job.

How about you, anons? Tell us about your life and maybe add a cool picture or something to your post, but that's up to you.
