My father died last year so I kind of know what you must be going through.

Unrelated but I spent the last 3 hours searching my room top to bottom looking for my watch. I moved my desk, checked all my pockets, took photos under cabinets to see if it was under there, checked the bins I’d emptied, checked my clothes basket. I checked the entire floor as I’d just brushed it. I give up, I walk downstairs to get a drink, I come up, and my watch is sitting in the middle of the empty floor. I think the fairies are playing with me.

An ok relationship with him, we weren’t like super close so it’s not the same as if my mother died. But I have felt similar feelings around other deaths.

33 today. Slowly ranking up my wizard powers 🧙🏽.

Just dumped 1200€ for a new gaming PC and the exact moment I got it the will of playing disappeared.

I guess this is a classic moment of the actual pleasure is the await itself.

>>2544
I remember doing that with a gaming PC, a playstation, and probably some other things. I guess I got it meaning to play games but actually playing them was too much out of my normal routine so I just didn't. Since you obviously meant to play something when you bought it I recommend trying to just force yourself to play whatever games you had in mind, at least for a couple of hours. Maybe you will warm to it.

This has to be the most relatable thread I've read in the last 3 years. Really reaching the end myself. I wish I could know how OP and every mage who replied is doing. The future is so bleak.

>>2475
I am the OP, and I'm having a hard time believing it's already been over a year since making this thread. I even remember the day of making this thread vividly. I am semi-active in a few old-school style forums, but they're only of interest for those truly knowledgeable. I mostly use the internet for practical, effortposting media discussions, and educational purposes now. Ironically, how I idealized I should have used it back when I was around a decade younger, hikineet, and spent most of the time posting shitposts and smug anime girls.

I guess I did end up "leaving" imageboards for good at least compared to spending the majority of my free time for several years solely on them, also wasting my time watching completely useless slop on youtube. I'll still peek a few places for no more than a few minutes, but it's so infrequent. Would it still be considered lurking?
One thing that really confuses me is how all these "refuges" have slowed or just flat-out kicked the bucket. Data reveals there a lot more isolated and disenfranchised men than there were just a decade ago, so where are they, why aren't they posting in places like these, and why aren't there more sites trying to keep the old spirit web alive.
But I guess there's criticism that can be said about doing that as many "webcore" sites may come across as superficial or trying too hard.

I had the foresight years ago to know if I spent so much time getting most of my social needs fix on imageboards I would likely reach a point where I'd become disillusioned from them and effectively left crippled in aspects such as social skills, life experience, etcetera.
That did end up being my case anyway but I agreed to take a job shortly after making this thread where I worked in front of hundreds and crowds of children and people everyday while Initially being a barely functional depressive wreck, with traces of my formerly severe social phobia.
I ended up being very well-liked, children loved me, and I was tipped more than I ever even imagined possible for someone like be. Just being tipped at all was incomprehensible for the first few months(and still looking back). I am not a good-looking man by any means, but I try to live as having a heart of gold despite having dealt with many, many truly vile people thrPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

One or two I have noticed and can still find have jumped the shark on spiritualism, religon, or even somewhat concerning esotericism, maybe filling a void?
Can you elaborate?

>also wasting my time watching completely useless slop on youtube.
It feels shameful to admit how many hours I've probably lost staring blankly at Youtube videos. I think if Youtube kept track of how many hours you spend on it like Steam does I would smash my computer immediately upon seeing the number of hours I've wasted watching the most disgustingly wretched slop. I imagine I've wasted years of time on that god awful website gaining nothing from it, I don't enjoy my time watching those videos, I don't get any knowledge from it, I am just wasting time watching some guy talk about nonsense that I don't actually care about. It would probably do me a lot of good to completely cut that website out of my life.

I'm deeply mentally ill. I stopped enjoying imageboards years ago but I do it because it's the one way to fulfill my social urges that I can handle. I am too weak to handle real life or real relationships with people. I avoid people whether I want to or not because it has been ingrained into my soul to do so. I hate doing nothing all day, browsing shit websites filled with people I hate every day, but it's all I'm left with because I don't have the energy or drive to do anything else. I want to do something, anything else, I have for years now, but I'm too stuck in the rut. It's funny, wizchan went down so here I am, going down progressively obscure and dead imageboards just because I am addicted. I hope all these sites die and I'm left with nothing so I either change or I bash my head into a wall until all the juice leaks out.

A well done flick, in my opinion. They kept it real simple but did a good job of keeping it interesting, at least to watch until the end.


I wanted to go to sleep at some point because I was feeling tired, but I kept going because I wanted to see the end and it didn't disappoint.


The whole "is it real or is it happening in my head" is well done in my opinion and between its back and forth it lets you wander on a nice trip.

Watch Murder Drones next lol

Not him, but I just watched that.

I don't have good taste, but I liked it. More than a few of the plot points are very normie highschooler experience focused, so I'd think plenty here might hate it though. The animation was pretty darn good for amateur stuff. Same with the voicework. The pacing was refreshingly brisk, with little to no wasted air time. The jokes are rapid-fire so even when they fall flat it's not too bad. Some of the characters, like N, were super "moe", not something I'd usually use to describe western cartoon characters. All in all something I'd consider very watchable.

Watched Beacon 23, sci-fi about a space lighthouse. I didn't think it was too bad, it seemed to have bad ratings because it's a bad book adaption. Pretty much all happens on the "beacon". It's been a while since some new sci-fi. The pacing is a bit strange in how events happen one after the other, but I didn't find it too distracting I just noticed it.
I think it's worth a watch, it's a "big mystery for the whole show" thing that probably won't have a super satisfying conclusion.

A few weeks ago I watched the first two Carnosaur movies for the first time. They're nothing earth-shattering, but I can't deny that they're both quite entertaining.
The first one is probably the most interesting. The plot has several interesting ideas and the director put some effort into shooting some visually entertaining scenes, such as the one that takes place in a dark chicken coop, where you can barely see the feathers of the chickens against the black background. I would have liked the villain's maternal side to have been developed more, and the film loses quite a bit of pace once the protagonist starts interrogating the villain. Either way, it's a fun movie.
The sequel is pretty good too. It's much less original, in fact, it's practically a ripoff of Aliens, but it's full of action and fun characters. The only thing I didn't like about it is the final battle against the tyrannosaurus rex. The main character has no reason to kill the tyrannosaurus and the whole scene lasts more than 15 minutes.

I gave this series a chance. I thought the first episode was terrible, mainly because it tried too hard to be funny. However, I found the plot interesting, so I decided to watch the rest of the episodes and I don't regret it. The plot gets more and more interesting with each episode and the fight scenes are great. I found the characters annoying at times, but I think that's because I'm a bitter old man.

Sorry.

Sorry. I'll try to never again make a post.
There is something inside me, I can be free in a way other people can't imagine, but I have been dragged down my whole life by things that should be unimportant, that shouldn't matter. Something went wrong in my life, I know it's not my fault but that doesn't change the fact I failed. I just wanted to do what I was supposed to do. I can't explain this, it's impossible to communicate, but I can see really, really nice dreams, and I wanted to explore them and show them. I just love dreaming, imagining, creating, thinking, I can do so every moment of my day and every day. This doesn't make any sense, it's the kind of thing that could only make sense through actions and works, but I'll never get to do so, so I have to try explaining it in words, but it's impossible. It's just that there are things I enjoy learning about, and things I wanted to try, but I'll never be allowed to. I wanted to show what I'm like, I wanted to be myself, but I'll never be allowed to. I just wanted to get into math and cs, or drawing, or music, at a very young age and dedicate every instant of my life to that just one thing. I wish I could go back to nursery school and get into mathematics back then. There's something very wrong with my brain, I'm very bad at certain things, but somehow I really enjoy other certain things in a way normal people can't enjoy, so I wanted to be free, and dedicate myself to something important, that only I could do. And even if I'm bad at everything and have no real skills, I still at least enjoy learning and trying, and could keep trying my whole life. But this life was a prison, I just never got to pursue my dreams. It's too late now, I'm not going to make it, I'm stabilizing my mental situation and trying to sort out my life but it's too late, my world is falling apart and there's nothing I can do. I don't know, it hurts, no matter how many times I try, I can't convey this. It's just that I feel I never got to be myself, like I was supposed to show what I really am, but I never got a chance like everyone else. Like something went very wrong. Like God abandoned me. I just wanted to be free, I wanted to try, I wanted to be myself, but everything went wrong, it's like I never existed, as if I was never born in the first place. I just wanted to be free and be myself. I feel like in an invisible cage, hitting my fist on the wall and screaming, but no one can see or hear me. And I feel like if I could break Post too long.

I should say sorry for being unkind to you previously. I'm sorry. I am not good at dealing with the pain of others. I cannot understand your burdens though I can see they are crushing you.

My words mean nothing but I am envious of what you have. There is nothing inside me. I am just a soulless doll. To keep beautiful worlds within oneself, as you do, is something I've always wanted but can never have.

Sorry.

The mind, it always fails.

Felt like it'd be good to post some new stuff since the board is in a new location. To celebrate having a new home or something I guess.
>>2410
Thought I replied earlier but I guess I forgot. The first one is actually digital, If memory serves I used a pencil tool at a bigger size than usual to get the soft lines.
>>2413
I like the little frog guys they're pretty cool. The lizard guy selling tattoos is probably my favorite. All of these are nice.

>>2457
seems like the last image I posted didn't go through.

>>2458
site admin here, it's set to 3 files per post (mostly to prevent spam on other boards). not sure if you can set a higher limit on specific boards

>>2459
I figured it was either that or I just forgot to attach it. Thanks for clarifying though. I don't mind 3 files per post I don't think there's a need to change it for this board now that I know that's the limit

Twenty year anniversary of Bionicle was today, I don't have any builds anywhere near finished to share and I'd rather not show off pictures of a bunch of random arms and guys with no legs, but i did want to make a post at least. Hopefully the games are good when they're done, Masks of Power Legacy was a bit empty feeling and the combat wasn't good but it was cool to just walk around Mata Nui and talk to Tohunga and stuff, even if it is an unfinished version of the game. The new trailer looks good so that's nice, although no gameplay was shown so hopefully it is at least better than the Legacy version when it's complete.

Oh man I remember this thread, I distinctively remember losing my sides at the Woody pictures.

>is it weird to anyone that only water...was female?
>(water being naturally gentle, meaning it suits the ideal female). Sort of like how the earth element was associated with wisdom and knowledge or fire with valor. Pretty much the only element with feminine traits was water so it made sense for it to be the female one.
I don't know much about Bionicle other than once reading about how its inspired by Polynesian religion and folklore, but water has been considered a female element since ancient times, and in many esoteric traditions. Poseidon is the only male deity associated with water that I know of, and even that is not his sole association, he has other aspects to him.

I can't believe it was only two years ago.

r/sexybionicles is good.

I've been messing around in Bricklink Studio a bit. I haven't used Lego Digital Designer in a long time, but I've found Studio to be much more intuitive to use, and the renders you can make with it are really nice.

This board and lizchan were being shilled on 4chad when wizchan went down.

>>1375
lizchan doesn't seem to work right now so this board is all that's left. this is crazy

>>1380
never mind lizchan is working now

>>1216
Finally got around to watching this. God it's so comfy to imagine a peaceful carefree life in that little rural hamlet.

I remember watching the tv series long ago, but I never got around to watching the movie for some reason. I really enjoyed it, I'll probably watch the sequel at some point too. Much more of a serious detective movie tone than the tv series, but it was good at doing that so I enjoyed it. Maybe if I had watched it immediately after watching the tv series I would have been disappointed it didn't have the same tone.

>>2336
I started on another and I guess it's full of mildew because I get allergy symptoms when I open it. Damn. The rest of the box is probably the same.

>>2337
That sounds quite annoying. Only once have I had to deal with a book with those problems, and what I did was to clean it very carefully and try to ventilate it before reading it.

>>2338
It's my own fault for leaving them to rot for years instead of reading them. So I feel kind of guilt if anything. I tried leaving them out but they made my whole room stink. It seems that people are using ozone to disinfect them but I don't have an ozone generator.

>>1287 (OP)
Just finished "The Plague" by Camus, it was ass, I may have skipped a lot. Working on "Priory of the Orange Tree", but I keep putting it down and not picking it back up. Not enough time to read :(

>>2359
>Priory of the Orange Tree
I just did some research on that book, and it looks like it is over 800 pages long. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I can't remember the last time I read something that long. How do you like it so far?

>>1793
I got bux

Guess things only ever get worse

>>2125
I am astonished how true this continues to be. It's only been a little over 3 months since >>1798 commented on the state of things since OP and now there's an escalating war in the 2nd largest country in Europe between European nations.

>>2126
Two years ago I expected basically a stasis on this kind of stuff, with governments just kind of quietly locking things down as economic and social conditions got worse. Instead there was the plague and all that it brought with it, and now a war.
I just hope it doesn't spiral out of control like the plague did, but for all any of us know it might already be unavoidable. This time two years ago the plague was barely a month old and the sharemarkets had collapsed, I guess the war is only a week or so old and anything could happen.

It's fucking 2023. Fuck.
