What could this possibly mean?

It's an imageboard software running with PHP and Javascript. The "Install" is done through PHP once prerequisits are met and is done in order to create the appropriate databases and tie everything together without the operator needing to move things around or manually rename repeating assets when a new board is added.

whats the email for in imageboards?

been there XD

2007 was an interesting year.

(webcomic name: Penny Arcade)

Wait, Team Fortress 2 had a comic with online updates until 2017? And there was supposed to be more but they stopped for some reason?

I want to put my ideas into a webcomic but I don't really see the purpose, instead I play music and imagine the whole series in my head for only me to enjoy. I think it's a pretty good story as well, I'm an amateur at art, been practicing since a youngin' but need improvement to reach the level of true expression or translation from mind to paper and it feels as if I'm never content with the visuals I create on paper. Thus it stays in my head, isn't it funny

Most wholesome robots in fiction, sadly, A society like the comics depic would be a nigthmare

Sequential Art was quite a thing

>what language are you learning
french
>what tools do you use to learn it
netflix,music and google translate
im now b2 and i consider myself pretty fluent this is the easiest and the most enjoyable way to learn languages

read the book, fluent forever by gabriel wyner(sp?) will help a lot.

different language require some different approach, you generally get good return on building vocabulary though.

biggest mistake people do trying to learn a language is they try to learn by latching onto their native language with those ideas, words, thoughts. you need to build an entirely new language from the ground up, that means not associating your new language words to your old language words, you need an intermediary, a translation and interpretation layer far more powerful for the mind, that is imagery and emotion. you need to build your language up from thinking the target language word, and first thing that comes into your mind are images, and not the translated meaning in your native tongue. that is the crux and major stumbling block/paradigm shift required to be proper successful and where most fail with their language learning.

find a movie you know really well, all the dialogue, get the sub and dub for it, play it in background or on another screen. listen to music in that target language, watch videos. have an actual physical good dictionary for that language next to you, do this as a habit you hear a word, you randomly open up and try find it, try find what it means.

language acquisition is making all these little easy habits that add up and require almost no effort, for years, culminating into almost effortless. or you can train hard all out for a couple weeks.months then forget about it and never pick it up again. i tried both, i made the mistakes, and learned, then got better. maybe this can help you if you try it. that book fluent forever check it out.

is the thread alive yet?

I first started by downloading dubs that i watched as a kid since it was the version i was accustomed, then i started watching new stuff with subs in my language until i got tired of being a second class citizen (slower releases, worse quality, shitty servers) so i bit the bullet and switched to en subs and started learning jp. Most series i can understand by ear nowadays

>>69567
When i started it was 480p, nowadays i download 720p since 1080 is just upscaled. I bought a box of those white envelopes for cd/dvds and those cardboard boxes that fit like a 100 of those. I just put the name of the anime and the episode count if it applies, nothing fancy

ooooof!


I still have some DVDRW machines.

I think i should burn some stuff. TY for reminder

>>69571
the nice thing is that for me a normal 4.7 dvd has the right size for either 2x12 or 1x24 episodes anime in h.265, so a normal season (which has around of 25-35 series i end up watching) fits comfortably in 15-20 dvds.

the only downside is the organizing. it's an eternal fight between putting 2 thematically close series that came in the same season in the same disk for then to find out that 2 seasons later the second season came out and now you have them separated.

Sometimes i keep series in my hdd for years because i'm sure a new season is gonna come out sooner or later but it ends up dead, like log horizon, and stuff that has no reason getting a second season comes out of nowhere, like the vending machine one.

>tfw my keyboard is a cheap bluetooth one for tablets
am I missing out?

>>69166
Depends entirely on how much you type/use the keyboard.

Dropping lots of cash on a mech keyboard isn't the correct answer for everyone.

Don't let FOMO rob of you of present satisfaction

>>65757
I have some cheapo GXT mechanical keyboard with red switches. It's great, it works, though I've also had membrane keyboards a decade ago that also felt super nice. As long as they keys aren't those flat laptop style keys I don't really care much. I prefer the feeling of Blue switches but hate the sound. Browns are just a bad compromise.

N00b tier question: what's difference between blue keycaps and red keycaps?

i love america and ive been to 42 states, not sure what part of my post lead you to that belief

What you see as America's positive he sees as America's negative.

another follow up post and this time asking for suggestions this year, there was a motorcycle riding thread I was also in, the guy with the 650cc yamaha. was doing these road trips in a car, but this year i was able to get a good deal to trade my bike up to a 1600cc vulcan, big cruiser bike, so i think this time it will be a late summer early fall motorcycle trip instead of a winter trip still trying to decide where to ride if anyone has any suggestions i'm based out of florida.

bump from last page

Look, I live in a big city

>There is a biking thread and an international travel thread but no road trip thread. Has anyone here gone on a road trip?


I could get a bus to a distant village, probably. Interested?


I cannot use a car (tried, couldn't stand the traffic; maybe, an automatic box would save me from the hassle)

i started learning french in may 2023 with the goal of reading french philosophy and sociology books. i guess i got to the level i wanted to by a year or so later, but i got too lazy with just watching fun stuff on youtube like let's plays (in french) that i'm only just now trying to read actual french philosophy. it's going great, tho. some of it i find tough, but it's because the ideas, concepts, and arguments that i'm finding tough, the language itself isn't giving me any trouble.

i still struggle to understand very casual french, it feels like trying to understand a thick scottish accent as an esl. i could improve in that respect if i engaged a lot with it, but i actually don't care.

i'm also one of those who thinks (or thought) that the language sounds really ugly. but now i honestly can't really remember what it "sounded" like.

Hello fellow wizards. I know you guys have given some resources in this thread, but for a guy who is just learning French alone, what do you guys recommend. Any help would be appreciated, thank you all.

Any suggestions for French songs? Akin to attached?

>What even is this place?
A Halloween store. It's empty except for the month of October, where it gets full of cute succubus outfits for little with succubi, and anime cosplay. After Halloween, all of the employees are ground in to a fine paste and shipped to the shrimp farms as chum.

Only virgins collect this shit.

Yes, and?

I make pocket money by reshipping toys for collectors in the UK like Lego Pirates, Hot Wheels (die-cast model cars more generally), He-Man/MotU, and Transformers.

beast wars neo (japanese cartoon version of beast wars) unicron prototype (possibly will be released soon), and G1 unreleased unicron prototype

Another toy review youtuber I enjoy. Has a detailed interest in opposable figurines.

He has made several threads on /diy/. I don't recall him making a thread here but if he did I hope he doesn't return.

>>69817
what'd he ever do to you? I think what he is creating is grand

>>69822
Look at his /diy/ threads. I think his obsession with his robots is interesting and admire his relentlessness but it is quite clear that he has no idea what he's doing. His arrogance when experienced people point out his ignorance is off-putting. That being said, I do not resent him and wish him all the best but looking at his track record it seems unlikely he'll get even remotely close to success.
