I've started trying to write a fantasy novel. It's hard to write though. I knew it would be since I'm brand new at it and you can't expect to be good at something you are just starting out at, but it's still a frustrating feeling to realize everything I'm writing is shit and yet I still have to keep crapping it out anyway.

I've realized I'm overly verbose. Has always been a problem of mine and it's becoming a problem for the narration of the story. I think I can probably cut a lot of fat in my next draft and hopefully I should be able to improve some.

I can relate to this a lot. My writing is total garbage, and it would be a miracle in itself if someone cared to take a look at my short stories.

However, I can't write a book because I get so bored with my own texts. And I haven't taken any writing classes whatsoever.

it's definitely a means to an end. cats like to snuggle up to you and you think "oh she luvs me" but in reality you're just a warm place that consistently generates food and stimulating scratches. animals are not capable of "love" in the same way, but the reactions they give to petting and feeding them is its own reward. they seem happy and that makes you happy in return. maybe its the same way with humans, you act affectionate towards someone because you know it makes them feel good (or at least you imagine that's the case), so making someone else feel good makes you feel good. its a very core circuit, you can't just shut it off or break it.

>>309189
it's unlikely it's broken, just suppressed or under-activated. i got emotional because it was probably several years since i just played with a cute animal and her cute reaction caught me by surprise, just activated something inside me that i thought i lost. usually i'm hikkimaxxing and when i'm walking outside i'm just looking to get home as fast as possible. i sort of understand why lonely people have pets because the touch starvation is probably the worst part, novelty and gossip you can always get on the internet.

I'd like to keep goats some day, they're actually very affectionate animals and not predatory, I became a vegetarian about 5 years ago so I feel somewhat incompatible at this point with predatory animals, obviously you need money for that though and lots of space.

also there's a beneficial thing happening internally when you are caring for another creature. Esp being kind/patient to a disobedient dog, or tolerating a cat's moodiness and still lovin' them. It's good practice cus it's easy to do for an animal. But that same circuit can apply to the self, or to other people.

Like it's easy to feed your pet. Why does it sometimes feel impossible to feed your self? We need to tend for our own needs too and be our own caretakers.

im so fucking depressed i cant stand it. i always said id never take antidepressants, and i wont, but i can see why people do. i used to actually feel better going to work because i have an easy part-time job and i would feel good talking to people sometimes, now i cant even have that. i cant put up a front anymore that everything is fine. talking to colleagues is like putting coins in a vending machine that has no merchandise. im wasting my energy for no reward. i feel like i need to pack my belongings in a little table cloth on a stick like in those old movies when a guy leaves to go on a journey to find himself across the frontier, but i cant do that. i dont even know where id go. i need to completely 180 everything in my life but i never developed any agency or belief in myself or my ability to do that. i feel absolutely nothing towards anyone anymore, just tedium. even the people i like ive pushed away with my terrible attitude. or did i even really like them or were they just kind to me? i couldnt repay the kindness, im a piece of shit. im just a catatonic energy vampire. im sorry everyone, you shouldve never tried to help me, im a sentimental idiot who holds himself back. i hate everything but most of all i hate myself. i hate the sun. i hate seeing people. i hate everything antithetical to my bottomless misery which is everything. im in hell and have nobody to blame but myself. im sorry.

Turned 30 recently and was reflecting on what I've been doing this entire time, and it turns out that I don't even really remember. There's not a single significant event, experience or achievement worthy of note that I can recall from neither childhood nor adulthood. I never took risks, never had a passion for anything, never dreamt of becoming or doing anything. I never even failed at anything since I never dared to do anything that could result in failure. I just lived a static existence of dopamine dependency, slowly withering away and feeling less human as the years passed me by.
I distinctly remember making a promise to myself when I turned 20 that I would commit suicide if I turned 30 without having done anything with my life. Now that the day came and went, I'm mostly just left with emptiness. I lack even the motivation to take my own life since I never really felt alive in the first place. The only thing I've ever wanted in life is to have a passion or a goal in life, but I never did. I was always just a prey animal, meant to be chewed up and spit out by the world and then fade away without a single good memory of being in this world.
What a pathetic, miserable and disappointing life I've lived, if you can even call it that.

I think that today, autistic and witchy people have a huge advantage over neurotypical people. We have extensive knowledge on a wide variety of subjects, we are determined in the face of adversity, and even if we are socially awkward or find it difficult to talk to people (this is my case, I am socially isolated) we can come together in these spaces and stop forcing social contact with neighbors or parents who ask us for the umpteenth time why we still don't have any friends or a girlfriend. Personally, I'd rather go online to investigate the Epstein case than have friends, and I think that's the case for many of you here. The others are completely ridiculous with their social codes to follow. They restrict themselves in terms of intellectual capacity in a completely stupid way to appear socially acceptable because the norm prefers a dumb athlete to a brilliant intellectual. That's why most people prefer athletes like soccer players or basketball players to Gregori Perelman, who solved Poincaré's conjecture. This whole circus is completely ridiculous. People make fun of their neighbors when they themselves are stupid, but to reassure themselves, they say that others are stupid and criticize us because we are not “within the norm.” We do not accept the social contract imposed by popular dogma, which wants us to we criticize to reassure ourselves without accumulating knowledge. Also, do people really compare their time spent on TikTok or Instagram to the knowledge in books, articles, and other sources before criticizing others? Maybe we should look in the mirror and accept that we are trash in order to change and follow a virtuous path that respects others. That's why we're here discussing this: we need to create a close-knit community and distance ourselves from the idiots who criticize us, keeping only those who understand us.And besides, it's not AI that's going to save these idiots. They need to rediscover what it means to read books, to dream, and to use their brains.

I think some people just strive for simplicity. The thing that offends them is having the taxonomy complicated "unnecessarily" in their view. Any time you see these schizo skeptics attack ideas they always attack it on the principle that it is too complicated and we should go with simpler ideas instead. Flat earthers say it's easier to just look for yourself at how the ground appears to be rather than think about it deeply and understand why the earth isn't flat. Here we have them complaining that we've taken the nice simple concept of just calling people weird and gone around classifying them into medical syndromes. He just won't stand for that additional complexity! He won't even entertain it or look at evidence that supports that world view because it threatens the simplicity that he derives some sort of psychological comfort from.

 No.229318

Pigeonholing abnormal people into contrived psych disorders is less complex than acknowledging their individuality. It encourages a stereotyped view of "disorder" among people who don't behave according to societal norms. Labeling weird people with these disorders provides people with psychological comfort due to establishing normative human behavior as healthy and deviations as disordered. Who is a psychiatrist to label me with "autism spectrum disorder" for being asocial and focused on my interests? It's just contrived nonsense to pathologize abnormality.

 No.229319

>>229318
So if I call your hair curly, I guess it means I must be not properly acknowledging your individuality. How dare I? You just are acting like this because the things we are observing are psychological instead of physical, but there's no difference. If you can see something that can be defined, why not do it? You're quibbling over the definition as if a broader and vaguer definition is better. It's not.

 No.229320

>>229319
A person's psychological makeup is too complex to be defined by these disorders. Labeling people with these encourages a restrictive, stereotyped, pathologized view of complex human behavior. It is nothing like simply describing a physical trait. Moreover, why should people who do not behave according to societal norms be pathologized? I do not accept societally normal behavior as healthy and abnormal behavior as disordered.

Expanded Akkadia just a slight more–with Yozgat, Corum and Sinop
Akkadia can access the black sea, Mediterranean, Persian Gulf, plus the red sea.
Akkadia would have complete leverage over every other 'superpower' just based on its geography, and would hold the water lifeline of Arabia and so forth.
Naturally, Akkadia is Israel, which is Babylon the Whore, and present day Israel is Jerusalem. This makes them pretty damn capable now. Plus they've unified all the Kurds as well, together with various Syrian ethnic groups…

So the 7 combatants–Russia, Akkadia, Khorasan, Europa, Egypt, Kharthage, the Israel 'inside' Akkadia, are all being observed by the 'spectators' of America, Andesia and Auzieland.

7 World Kings participate in this game each in charge of one of the 7 contestants, with the Game Master himself being an active participant, coordinating from Akkadia.

The rest of the world exists to work in super urban countries in order that they may generate wealth to merrily sustain the speculators and combatants.
Guiding these (office) workers are China, Japan, Korea and… Madagascar.

Uh… hey.

I'm Kode. I don't really post much here, but I figured I'd share something I've been working on.

This is my first real attempt at making an operating system called NEKO KERNEL. And yeah… I mean *attempt*. It's still early, things break, and half the time I fix one bug just to discover three more.

There's a video here of it actually booting and running. Surprisingly, it works more often than it doesn't, so I'll take that as a win.

It's 32-bit, which probably raises more questions than answers, but I wanted to start with something I could actually understand before making my life even harder.

Right now there's not a lot to do. It's mostly just me figuring things out, writing code, breaking everything, rewriting it, and repeating the process until something finally works.

I'm putting together a website soon so anyone who's interested can download it, test it, and tell me exactly what I managed to break.

So yeah… that's NEKO KERNEL.

Hopefully you like it.

And if it randomly crashes… just pretend it's a benchmark.

I'm curious what the covid-19 vaccination rate is like among wizards.

Personally, I was the only one in my immediate and extended family to not get the vaccine or boosters. No doubt influenced by the normie propaganda, I faced a lot of harassement and pressure from my mother.

Knowing my family, I would also probably have been uninvited from family gathering for not having the vaccine but since I stopped seeing them 2 decades ago, it was a moot point.

The picture related sums it up perfectly. Somehow all the pain and suffering we endure has to be explained. I also thought that the so called creator could be someone who simply laid down to rules and left it going. Like how some people put water in a glass jar, close it and let life flourish. But to think God is kind or positive, anything better than neutral is foolish. They often come from a place where they haven't seen any major problems and don't think much. Even if you haven't seen the worse side of humanity it is easy to think about how many animals and lives have to suffer for that one individual to have a good life. So it is really a choice between a non caring creator or a non existing one. If we are more positive, it is safe to go with a non existing one. Meaning no God is responsible for anything bad.

I come to a serious doubt if the cat cry bacause he have a trauma around meat based in the monks or bacause there's a posibility of reincarnation… i know the history its the cat is vegetarian but i doubt this is a natural thing, something feels off when the cat cry… in any case this can be a serious anti-dharma thing to buddhists core ideas.

Do you think suicide hotlines are helpful? I have been calling them almost everyday without anything improving.
Is there a better alternative?

Any of you guys wargame? I've tried getting into old school ASL recently and am finding the pure infantry combat of early starter kits pretty underwhelming without the artillery and armor expansions

I collect and paint models. Never played the games though, not sure if I'd really enjoy that environment as a wizard. My parents are from the era of board games, but would refuse to play anything more complex than monopoly.

I'll post a photo of 2 of the recent minis I've done, and compare them to ones I painted 10+(or whenever 5th edition first came out for 40k) years prior, It's funny how much better they look when you follow some basic instructions like thinning your paints lol. Also it helps that I have a real paintbrush now, back then I would chew a toothpick and use that to paint.

I'm bidding on a box of Hero quest, seems like an old one. Currently it's only at 2 dollars, hopefully I can get it for a steal.

thank you very much, the leather effects were an accident and I dont think I could replicate it again. Also I think the wash is doing a lot of work, also thinning paints. I did spend about 10 hours painting at least, which im told is very slow and it's still needing about 5 hours work

Most practical way would be to find a bunch of other neets and pool your bux to rent a house. With enough people the individual rent would be low. If you really live in some third world country there won't be as many regulations prohibiting stuff like this.

Any wizards playing Dwarf Fortress? In spite of being an unofficial /wiz/ game (being on at least three banners) I haven't seen it being mentioned here.
Do you play Legacy or Steam version?
Since when?
Do you prefer to play Fortress or Adventure?
Do you have one main world you play, or do you just make a new one after being bored with your current fort?

Being in control of a whole colony stresses me. I'm ashamed of my failure.

It's been many years since I played. The last big update I remember is the addition of taverns, guilds and music instruments.

Started playing it recently after it was on sale. Seems cool. Steam version, only fortress so far. Still trying to figure things out. At some point I had wild boars appear in my fort, which started fighting with the dogs there, causing there to be blood and boar corpses all over. Then the corpses started to decay and leak miasma (because I didn't know how to designate a trash area for corpses) which made everyone sick and vomit everywhere in addition to the blood and corpses. Seems like a game I can sink a lot of hours into, lots of depth and weird little niche mechanics you will only find by accident.

in 2009 DF was significantly responsible for me having to repeat one course for my final year of study, and the only game I have ever played 28 hours without interruption.

Sadly that world lost compatibility several updates ago and I lost the attachment to the game I once had.

Fun :tm: things i've done:

100 z layer tower built up from a 30z level map wide aquifer
Tropical island using a water elevator to cap off a volcano and build out stilted houses
Polar Bear based economy in the frozen biome with no stone

Factorio took over that particular brain bee for me, but DF was fun to be in for a long long time.

 No.63622

interesting repplies. For me DF was boring from the moment I found out that you could just make a bridge and it would stop literally every enemy. theres no challenge whatsoever, buring dwarfs manually is annoying, the building and designing a base is boring and ugly, you can make perpetuum mobile from the watermills or whatever. So I dont like it.

If you don't need money, then get friends is not a need. I've tried being friendly and nice with people but always think that being a good guy to them is being weak so they surprise when I don't tolerate their injustices over me and automatically they consider me a threat to their environment so unless that I need money or stuff like that, I don't have any interest to know new people. At least until I get a friend that don't want to use my kindness to mock me around or use me.

It took me awhile to find friends on discord. If you play video games you gotta find them in the games you like. Popular games are easier to find people but not high quality, high quality meaning good match for you. I found a friend while i was living in a hotel playing dark souls remastered on switch like 5 years ago and still play with him to this day. He found more people and they became my friends too. I also found friends playing pubg. I think for men and especially autistic men which i was very autistic before, it’s better to have a shared goal or objectives and the small talk is just a ctach up or time occupier inbetween gameplay. This could also be applied to a mens shed or something where you go to build objects or whatever else. When you’re socially awkward it’s better to have something to focus on objectively until you gain enough levels to tolerate and then later enjoy small talk. It took me years but now i enjoy myself with random people from good discord groups. I count myself lucky. I could have easily never recovered.

Also, bump.

Yesterday, a simple question of what to eat for the next dinner / breakfast was turned into a heated negotiation with various rhetoric tricks. Old good tactic - put your terms as "suggestion" and proceed to manipulate your opponent of a family member into agreeing with you. If the opponent proposes something else - proceed to ask dumb questions, suggest new ideas, rephrase your opponent's idea in the wrong way and so on. I am stuck with this faux-retarded highly educated person and my only way out is to abandon my decent job. Ugh. And the worst thing is, I actually do care about them so just grabbing my laptop and HDDs, some bags of clothing, and going away from them to a small rented apartment on a taxi is not for me

P.S.

No matter how I tried, instead of finding people like myself, I would be greeted with… well, enough negativity against my "attempts to look bigger than I am", as they used to put it.

Maybe this belongs more on /hob/ and if the mods agree I would hold no ill will for them for moving or deleting it but I recently got around to watching Serial Experiments Lain and wanted to find some other wizzards with good reccomendations for /dep/ anime. The ones of course given are succubi last tour and Lain. I would personally not count Watamote as it seems quite shallow and everything turns out fine in the end and whatnot. So what are some other anime, manga or light novels dealing with actual depression or schizophrenia and not in the mainstream boohoo am so sad way.

Hold on but what about anime and manga that aren't just depressing but also try to convey something important? I mean, lain isn't pure depression, it's also trying to relay some ideas to you. Granted, I may still have no frickin clue whatsoever what the hell it is that it's trying to tell you, but there's definitely a message in there.
So yeah, what about anime or manga that both fits the atmosphere and the symbolism?

For me, Lain's story was a bit "too normal" to treat it as a proper existential horror movie.

The guy in VR helmet from layer 07 was spooky, though. Hadn't it been for him, i would have forgotten the very fact I, in fact, did watch some pieces of S.E.Lain back in late 2000s.
