fiction and mental health Anonymage 08/16/26 (Sun) 10:38:09 No.309759 [Reply]

i keep wondering if all fiction could be unhealthy for the brain. human life is so short, a day has so few hours. how can you take one or more of these hours and flee to a place that doesn't exist and disconnect from your own reality.

places that don't exist have begun to repell me. my own reality has so many projects i would like to attend to that i feel gridlocked by not knowing what to do first. desire for fiction might be nothing but pure idleness.

i assume i understand the impulse, though i could be mistaken. when i was a child and were forced to attend child prison (school), the idea of no longer being able to explore the world at my own pace and instead had to spend time with the violent conformist was completely depressing. have them judge my intelligence based on how hard i could force myself to care what they thought was important in their desperate attempt to turn me into a mindless soldier and stomp all my dreams and interests in the process.

i'd flee into video games and at least videogames are interactive. in a video game i can make decisions, in school i was but an inmate without agency. but in a movie about a super hero, there is no interaction, the poor fool who watches this is but the passive recipient of centralized propaganda. i don't see how someone would accept this premise and spend time on this.

>why does fiction has to have evil as well

this reminds me of a meme picture i encountered where it was explained that the american version "power rangers" of a japanese show i forgot the name of had these two idiot bullies named "bulk and skulk" added that were not in the original japanese version.

and the meme pointed this out that for the western market they had to add bullies otherwise it wouldn't make sense to the western audience. if i find it later i will attach it and link to this post.

In the pilot, J.D. puts a penny into a door, apparently damaging/breaking it, and the Janitor blames him. That tiny incident becomes the foundation for this absurdly long running grudge.

>That tiny incident becomes the foundation for this absurdly long running grudge.

that's how it ended up unfolding, i imagine the writers of the show sitting around a table saying stuff like "we really need some kind of asshole being mean to the characters" and then the janitor was just the best idea to fill this role. i still think they should have leaned more into comedy but they insisted upon adding all this sobering stuff while life is already plenty sober.

you don't seem to be able to get over the fact that human life is finite, you seem to get hung up on that a lot. maybe you were particularly infantilized by your parents and kept in the dark about mortality too long. some kids believed in santa clauss a little too hard…

Steins gate reboot Anonymage 05/15/26 (Fri) 21:35:56 No.63516 [Reply]

Hello everyone,

I recently started playing the Steins Gate VN, has been an enjoyable mean while, while searching for something related to the series I found out about the reboot. It seems the developers plan to copyright strike anyone who uploads or streams the game.

How do you feel about that

I'm hijacking this thread to share the post credits scene. People are saying this voice is shun from occultic;nine, who's supposed to be one of the main characters in the upcoming steins;???.
I barely remember occultic;nine though, so I don't really know what that means

there's a lot i want to complain about but i'm just tired and lonely, mainly. except now i'm old(ish? i feel so old at 27) and don't even have my youth to rely on anymore. nothing much has changed with me. sure i have a job and a car and i go to work but spiritually i feel the same as i did when i was 16, miserable and lost. i just have some $$$ now but it's all the same as it ever was
and i'm depressed about art, too. i know i've improved but i wonder if this is as good as i can do? surely not, but it's a scary thought
everything is just so scary and uncertain constantly. i'm fantasizing about death again, taking my $$$ and a few credit cards and just going crazy on a final world trip before i end myself

It's interesting, nothing has changed for me either but somehow I feel much better. At your age I felt pretty much like you do, but not long after I turned 30, I just calmed down. It was like I finally just got used to being me. I accepted I am a loser and I'm not going to change. Once I stopped trying to change and be more like the normalfag my parents wanted me to be, it was like a weight lifted off my shoulders. I used to always hear people talk about how great it was to be in their 30s and scoff because I knew it wouldn't happen to me. And it's true, I haven't gotten more money or independence from my parents, and yet somehow it's better.

I think when you're young there is all this pressure on you to become someone other than who you are currently. It's the whole point of growth as a young person. Eventually though that will go away and you can just be. You're doing art now with the feeling that you have to get better and become something. Once you give up all illusions of grandeur you may rediscover your passion for doing it for its own sake and you may end up finding yourself making more progress than you did when you were putting lots of pressure on yourself.

My big takeaway was probably in the water book where he talks about having a commanding gaze. He reccomends keeping your eyes from wandering and trying to survey an entire area without using your eyes. Theres a lot of Buddhist philosophy weaved into the text that sounds interesting at first but is just a bunch of nothing burgers dressed up like poetry that was fun to read too. I definitely wouldn't reccomend this book for someone who isn't in a career that would benefit from seeing life as a series of conflicts. Id like to meet someone who did learn something from this book. For me, I rarely interact with people, and if I do I benefit mostly from just being pleasant towards them. I dont generally have a lot of conflict in my life right now, so there wasn't a lot in this book that was applicable to me.

Skateboarding Anonymage 06/04/26 (Thu) 14:10:20 No.70652 [Reply]

A slightly unusual hobby for a wizardly man, but I've always had an attraction to it.

What I like about it is the extremely large variety of tricks that can be learned. It's like the Path of Exile skill tree in the sense you can pick a direction and learn that way. You can build up your foundations, or you can go the straight and narrow all the way to learning your favorite trick. The large variety of tricks also mean there are a ton of easier ones to learn, and learning these tricks provides such a strong feeling of accomplishment.

Cruising is very nice too, I intent to get a bigger old school board with soft(?) wheels for nice and easy transport.

The art on skateboards is also quite nice, there's something for everyone. Also you can buy blanks and draw on it yourself. I think the level of creativity in all aspects of this hobby is so amazing.

All things skating related welcomed, I'll try my best to answer with great care to everyone.

Thank you for participating

skating has a lot of physical benefits that i had no idea about. had i known the positive impact it would have had, i would have done it in my 20s when i was busy doing dumb shit like going to university or working.

fun fact: after skating for a year or two, when you lose your balance while skating and are about to fall, time literally slows down so you can make a good decision in slow-motion and find out how to fall down in the exact way that hurts you the least.

it attracts a lot of unwanted female attention though so that could be a reason for wizards to be careful with it. while being on the skates i can outmaneuver everyone so it is both difficult to come near me and i can change direction way better then any female on foot. it does give my motions off the skates a certain elegance/grace/experience/refinement/maturity so just when i walk down the street unfortunately females are attracted the same way they would be to an experienced dancer.

it does feel amazing though when i just get to skate without females stalking me or an audience forming or photographers being cancerous. with all the unwanted attention i am getting i keep wondering why those people who want to stare don't live themselves a little instead of wanting to watch the other people live a life…

Excuse me, this is the anime t shirt discussion thread!

The time slowing down is real. Very crazy thing to describe to someone who has never experienced it. Also have you noticed when you slip during walking for example, you can automatically just rebalance yourself far better and very naturally? I can slip and my upper body remains so still. I could hold a glass of water and not spill a single drop.

One thing I'm quite worried about now is injuries. Now the injury itself is bad enough, but the hospitals in my country are a fuckng joke. My coworker was telling me today his brother broke his arm yesterday and had to wait 11 hours before he was treated. This has honestly dampened my interest in skating for the time being.. I can't do double doses of trauma, give me a broken arm sure but I need to be getting operated on within the hour. All that adrenaline and shock isn't gonna last long. That pain and the anxiety of not knowing when you'll be seen would break my mind

yeah i did notice this as well. skating as the art and love of movement. just trying to master some of it trickles into everything even slightly physical and improves it: from getting up off chairs better, to balancing unwieldy stuff with ease, to the way you normally walk on foot, to how it sounds when you type the keyboard, to quick reactions to prevent or reduce accidents in traffic even those you aren't even involved in, to being so mindful around careless people that you can anticipate when they fuck up so you are ready to help because you saw it coming so much earlier then everyone else. an incredible life-affirming chain-reaction concentrated care and attention into movement can start. i do believe normies think skating is vanity for lazy stoners but it is deep immersion into practical physics and so many people could benefit from it.

>I can slip and my upper body remains so still. I could hold a glass of water and not spill a single drop.

nice. you might find this interesting after i went running with my 70 year old father he slipped and broke his arm. he recovered and i taught him how to snakeboard after it and now a few weeks ago (8 years later) he slipped and fell again. this time nothing broke, he even said he felt the time slow down and he did manage to fall way better and distribute the energy of the fall without breaking or seriously hurting anything.

Do you like the setting the most, the characters the most, the lore the most, the music the most, or, like me, do you just idealize the series like I do?

What are you doing right now to enjoy the series?

Tulpamancy Anonymage 03/09/26 (Mon) 14:17:18 No.227891 [Reply]

Why don't you have a tulpa, anon?
You can cheat yourself out of loneliness by fostering a loving relationship with an imaginary friend.

Benefits of a tulpa,
>You can choose any shape or form for her.
>You will never feel alone.
>She will always show unconditional love.
>She will always follow you around.
>You can have sex without losing your virginity powers or contracting STDs.
>Costs absolutely nothing.
>Basically the 'ultimate' form of a waifu.
The only negative is the social stigma, which you can easily avoid by not revealing your powerlevel.

It was the best decision of my life. It feels so good to have someone take care of you, compliment you and physically comfort you.

Interact with a persistent imaginary friend and imagine them next to you at all times.

>Do I just imagine it or there's something more to it.
Most guides are terrible. Just interact with them as normal and impose them into your real world vision with your imagination.

What you put in is what you get out of it.
The more you interact with a tulpa, the more she'll feel like an actual person.

>How close is it to genuine schizophrenia?
Not close, at all. The connection is only brought up because of hallucinations (which is far from sufficient to diagnose schizophrenia).
I'd wager 99% of tulpamancers don't normally hallucinate. This is somewhat of a misconception pushed by early guides.

well, you will never be able to see your tulpa, but maybe you can still interact with her? it would probably be like messages coming from the void.

idk, i wouldn't bother in that case. the best part of tulpamaxxing is being able to see, touch, smell, feel your tulpa. we're working with all senses, but you're just limited to one or maybe zero and it's just an "abstract sense" of something. just stick with waifus and AI chatbots, sorry.

Should I take the Catholic pill?

They seem to genuinely respect Wizards and have a tradition of hermits. Their priests are a celibate ruling class.

I didn't grow up around Christians but it seems like the difference between them and other Christians is that they're the original church together with the lesser known Orthodox Church.

I don't get all the rules they have though. You shall attend Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation and rest from servile labor. You shall confess your sins at least once a year. You shall receive the sacrament of the Eucharist at least during the Easter season. You shall observe the days of fasting and abstinence established by the Church. You shall help to provide for the needs of the Church, each according to his or her own ability.

I'm overwhelmed. I get why people just go with the DIY protestant approach but it seems like if the Catholics are one of the original churches Jesus said was legit then it's a safer bet.

Look I don't get how there can be a miracle like resurrection either and frankly all the Abrahamic religious miracles seem really underwhelming compared to the wild stories of Hindu gods. But so many people believe in Christianity from a Pascal's wager perspective it seems like I might as well consider it.

At least it'll make me feel like I'm less LARPing some fantasy wizard and instead I'll seem like a faithful religious hermit which gets more respect points

I'm an ex catholic (apostated). Grew up in a catholic family, in a catholic country, etc and it's virtually the root of every single mental problem I have.

Catholicism is the worst religion out there (yeah, worse than Islam IMO). I still don't know how people lived under this retarded and outright evil cult for centuries. It's idealized by crabs and zoomers because le aesthetic™ meme but it's complete retardation (like any other organized religion). Also crabs seem to idealize it because they think they'll find le trad qt gf™ in church. Virtually every self proclaimed catholic succubus I've met in my life, including church going ones were all whores

>They seem to genuinely respect Wizards
They don't. Catholicism is obsessed with making children, to keep the brainwashing going on. Becoming a priest is traditionally expected for big families, when at least one male had kids and as such the bloodline was preserved

>Their priests are a celibate ruling class.
They weren't originally and they aren't either nowadays. Leaving the child abuse aside, priests do usually go with prostitutes and stuff like that, it's well known. They're just larpers and liars looking for government money

>it seems like the difference between them and other Christians is that they're the original church together with the lesser known Orthodox Church.
The Ethiopian and Coptic churches are older than the catholic one

>You shall attend Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation and rest from servile labor. You shall confess your sins at least once a year.

Only hardcore catholics in USA follow those things. Most catholics worldwide don't give a shit and will likely see you as a weird creep for doing so. Living a humanly normal life is impossible if you follow all the rules of the church. A lot of the sacraments have no real biblical basis in fact

Kids shows Anonymage 05/03/22 (Tue) 01:54:26 No.38895 [Reply]

I've found myself watching, and this thread is as much of a confession as much as anything, kids shows. It started off due to the threads we've had about Cardcaptor Sakura and Doremy, but then I realized after watching them that I was feeling…oddly good and optimistic about the world in general. It's weird, because on the one hand I hate watching this stuff because, well, it's so fucking stupid and vapid, but on the other hand I love watching it because it's so goddam relaxing and healing to the soul. I find myself questioning whether this entertainment is purposefully made this way, to emotionally manipulate individuals past a certain age into a state of depression.

Uhm, thanks for reading my blogpost? Otherwise, I guess share some younger-demographic anime you might be watching?

What the hell kind of entertainment do you suggest we consume instead then with all the stress and pain from existing weighing down on us? If all you see around you is stress, fear and anxiety over merely trying to survive and get by, what's wrong with trying to get away from it at least by watching cheerful slice of life shows? Or, if what you suggest is manning up and rising against by enlightening yourself and investing into "serious" adult media, how do you figure we'd get the strength for that if everything is already so bleak

these things have their origins in the old insane asylums, which were mostly to keep the insane outside of society, some people suffering from insanity also voluntarily went into there
doctors also marketed and sold all kind of bullshit to the insane, lobotomies, tranquilisers, insulin therapy, electroconvulsive therapy, it's a business to make money

Yeah you're right. I get it, it's scary. Hell, I'd even say it's terrifying. But hey, look, if we do end up making an argument such as that one, wouldn't it also mean that regular doctors that treat diseases of your body aren't to be trusted either? Like, if you claim that modern psychiatry or psychotherapy is detrimental because just 80 years ago they would lobotomize people which is practically torture, doesn't that also mean you shouldn't trust regular doctors because there was a time when doctors would use bloodletting or mercury or radium to treat diseases? And again, don't take this the wrong way, I do realize what you're saying is practically true, but I need to know who out there can help you if you're depressed or have serious emotional pain in your life if this industry is not to be trusted. Are you then simply supposed to heal by finding like-minded people that get you and enjoy spending time with you or is the answer different

It is normal. To take advantage of and to be taken advantage of is akin to inhaling and exhaling. Those who allow themselves only to exhale will be empty and tired. Those who only inhale will be full of hot air. It is important to balance being on the giving and receiving end of advantageous gestures.

Anonymage 08/20/26 (Thu) 07:28:45 No.229651

I don't know if I would call it "taken advantage of", but I feel that there is often times an asymmetrical exchange in terms of effort and expectations in my relationships.
For instance, my mother might want to show me some stupid bullshit she saw on youtube, or rant about something she heard from her ladyfriend, and I'm just supposed to drop everything and listen without getting a word in myself.
Then if I ever want to show my mother something, or tell her something, she can barely be bothered to pay attention and for no longer than a couple minutes.
With my father he might require my help to lift something heavy or help out in the yard (which has taken hours on certain occasions in the past), but when something in my room needs fixing I'm on my own.
I don't have any friends right now, but when I did I feel like it was a similar thing. I'd have a friend call me on Skype (remember skype lol, anyway) and he'd rant for 2 hours about some stupid shit, but if I ever wanted to talk to him he'd always be busy, etc.
The only place where I feel like I got explicitly taken advantage of was at work. I've had several (menial, minimumm-wage type) jobs where I was doing most of the work while my coworkers slacked off or sat in the back talking.
It's like Rodney Dangerfield said: "I get no respect, I tell ya, no respect at all."

Linux yet again Anonymage 09/04/24 (Wed) 20:01:30 No.68063 [Reply]

I always played around with it in a very disengaged, uncommitted manner. Well, on September 2nd, just a few days ago, I decided to really learn Linux to the point I could truthfully add to my resume to help me find a position somewhere. For that reason, I picked Ubuntu, possibly the most popular, all-purpose Linux distribution out there. I began doing the edx's version of the Linux Foundation's Introduction to Linux course because of the bells and whistles they have there in terms of exercises and whatnot. Unfortunately, they peppered the whole course with unbelievably idiotic mini videos geared towards morons. Imagery of douchebags with designer haircuts typing away at a laptop with some coolcorp background and annoying music.

So I said fuck it, and instead I decided to read the Linux Bible. But then I found out there's an Ubuntu Linux Bible by the same author, and so that's what I'm reading now. Straight to the point, concise, has exercises, not as many as I would like, but I can come up with variations on my own. Today is the third day I'm following the book, and I intend to make a daily post, briefly talking about the stuff I've learned on that day.

The first day was pretty much just going through the fluff. What Linux is, history of Linux, Unix, GNU, what open source is, etc. That's the first 20 pages of the book's 718 pages.

The second day I read about the X Window System, desktop environments, GNOME desktop, Nautilus file manager, and ways to run Linux (live medium, permanent install, etc.). The exercises consist of messing around with the GUI pretty much, something you would naturally do in a fresh install of an OS. I also had to install Ubuntu because I was running Windows. I got lucky because Ubuntu 24.04.1 came with some broken packages for Nvidia drives, and that of course fucked my shit up, which was a very excellent opportunity to do some tinkering and learning. I got it to work, it only took me an hour or so. I read people saying this is the most broken Ubuntu update in years, which I take as a good sign for my timing. And then I broke Light Locker while changing to Xfce as my desktop environment.

Anyway, third day, today, I finally reach the meat of the book and begin messing around with the shell, trying different commands, pretty simple stuff, whoami, pwd, ls, cd, command syntax, hyphenated options for command's behavior, locating commands, and really, just getting comfortable to mess around in the termPost too long.

Linux has some intrinsic protections against enshittification. Most packages are licensed under GPL, and GPL is a viral license, anything that incorporates GPL code has to release all of its code under GPL too. That means that you or someone else have the freedom to fork the code and remove the enshittifying bits.

Companies can pay RedHat astronomical prices for enterprise support and regular consumers can always use Fedora Linux. If that goes into the trash someday, there is always Ubuntu/Debian. Then there is NixOS. There will always be another choice. Canonical cannot simply force telemetry and ads on people like Microsoft has done with Windows 11 and expect not to lose all their users to an adjacent Linux distro.

i am not even 10 years in myself. recently i have been solving most linux problems with brave ai, i wish this existed when i started because i have solved dozens of problems and understood stuff i was curios about since the beginning. having a place to turn to with problems like that is really helpful. if i can help let me know though i would assume most of you newcomers are way better at solving stuff like that with ai then i am. what i might be good at is ergonomics. i can make a linux machine feel good and tailor it because i have bothered to look into all the little options in the sub menus.

currently i am playing with bash scripts to automatically create and move text files so i can juggle them around fast.

another thing that i think is really interesting is that there are these lightweight ULTRA PREMIUM BUSINESS CLASS laptops (like the lenovo thinkpad x1 carbon gen6) available on the used market with minimal configuration (8gb ram, 4 cores) for very low prices. they can't be upgraded for the most part but they are a joy to use if you are frugal. similar hard to upgrade ultralight premium models not for laptops but for convertibles finally exist on the used market (like the lenovo thinkpad x1 yoga gen5) and they have a keyboard that can be folded all the way around so it is behind the screen when you are tired of laptop mode, leaving you with a touchscreen that has a garaged little pen so you get the actual touchscreen ant note taking experience in linux on an actual x64 computer that runs all the regular linux packages which i prefer to ARM processors.

As my life is now I could probably rot away years upon years away miserably in the blink of an eye. I already have done nothing for the last decade. I even bought a gun to check out if all hope is lost

I still have a tiny sliver left

What even is your job? You can't bloviate so much about opportunities or doing things unless you're at least upper middle class or something. I am not going to do the wagie dance unless I am getting a lot from it. It's better to die otherwise.

>How do you go about this?
I went in as janitor, showed some interest and knew what I was talking about when computer stuff popped up… was able to transfer over to warehouse/equipment and now clean power supplies and sort cables and stuff… dream job really for our kind. And yes, just put in a request for later shift so there's even less people to deal with so I'm taking the win.

I don't get it, why is it a dream job?

i can see why, cleaning machines and sorting cables beats the humiliation ritual of cleaning shit smears in a greasy bathroom. People probably dont bother wiz either since it's easy to look busy

designing board games Anonymage 07/24/26 (Fri) 04:59:19 No.70926 [Reply]

Has anyone considered designing a board game as a hobby? I have been doing it for over a decade, well even arguably my whole life, even as a child. All I do is formulate rules and people can use equipment they have at home to play. Advantages are.

>anyone who is reasonably intelligent can do it
>you create a whole mathematical universe in a few minutes potentially, making it the greatest payoff/investment ratio of any hobby I would argue
>you can get famous even with a very bad and derivative game (not that we care about that kind of thing)

Feel free to ask me about how to make abstract games, however I only formulate rules, I know nothing about producing components, sorry if that is an area of interest for you

Oh, I thought it was just generally understood that ai can easily cream any human at any board game. I thought what you were saying was people shouldn't bother playing games because ai will beat them. But yeah, I hate to have to say it but no such game exists, mastering strategy games is just the kind of thing ai is best at.

>I don't know what suggested I am "very intelligent" here.
playing board games is always thinking within some fixed rules and if it's something popular like chess there's already a mountain of knowledge and approaches to it
designing board games itself forces you to think how rules themselves come together to create the game, this also requires creativity as you are thinking up new games
I don't think you'll find a lot about how rules come together outside maybe some mathematics papers

like I say, making games is 1% inspiration and 99% pretension. Look at something like Boop. Anyone could have come up with it and its one of the most popular abstract games. I do make it more of a cerebral exercise but its not necessary. Anyway thank you for the kind words.

Chess, but it's cute White angel loli against big boob succubi in black bikinis

you can't avoid thinking on a higher level and there isn't much available already existing work, playing a specific game like chess over and over again you can just learn the already most effective ways of playing and you're always thinking inside the rules of the game

Chess is based, mental hobbies are always superior to physical ones like soccer
