/hob/ - Hobbies

>>69405
all same as you, are you me?
I look up real estate and day dream about living there and how I can fill the rooms, sometimes its comfy

>>69408
Right. The idea that these lifestyles are truly accessible to us is a false one. To truly make it work, you need to be wealthy, not just rich. Not 7 figures, but 8 figures or more. Need to have people working for you and taking care of all that maintenance and hassle.
Otherwise, you'll be paying the difference with time and stress.

Hobnestly, I daydream about a day when a bunch of tower blocks will be repurposed into building for solo wizards - a 500sqft apartment is kinda enough to host a bunch of cool stuff like a CRT telly, two CRT screens on a desk, a funny old Kraftway keyboard, a bunch of oldschool books, a couple of wardrobes holding towes and tees… and other personal rags…


…


and, a large wooden bunk bed with the upper bunk not being really meant to be used - just to hold a different sleep setup (thinner blanket and such) if it feels too cold to sleep in your normal bunk.


I mean, seriously, tThe Man keeps building "cheap and affordable" tower blocks for people who tend to shit on each other floors and create traffic jams and overall feel out of place in da overcrowded city.

>>69766
Sorry.

My thesis was - in big cities, UTILITIES are more of a problem than BUILDING ROOMS

and repurposing old cranky buildings to "host" people like us would probably fix a lot of problems like traffic jams…

>>69435
No

I had thought about getting back into comics for the last few weeks, and started watching some youtube reviewers and channels to see if I felt interest rising to the point where I would spend money on the hobby.

That lead me to learning of the existence of this thing.

I will not be spending money on comics this year, nor next.

>>69967
The right way would be going to GetComics and reading whatever catches your attention, and if you find you really like, you buy it to support the creators behind it. Actually read some comics instead of watching YouTube and look for things that you don't like and you're not the target audience for.

I read over 800 single issues this year so far from different publishers in many different genres. If you tell me what you're looking or what you used to like, I can probably recommend a couple of things for you to try. DC and Marvel are far from being the only thing available in comics nowadays. Independents are growing at a fast pace and there's a lot of different stuff for you to try out there.

>>69969
I think the thing I used to enjoy that I had wanted to recapture was the Giffen and DeMatteis "Justice League International" vibe. This is the reason I was leaning towards irreverant, humor-oriented comics within established properties. I wasn't looking specifically for a thing to be mad about, and I do wonder if it's just that I do not really like that kind of thing anymore rather than that that thing has been degraded. It doesn't really affect my own decision to not purchase a thing if the aspect that changed is my own taste rather than the thing itself, but it would make asking for recommendations very difficult and likely counterproductive.

>>69970
I gotcha. I'm very fond of Giffen's Justice League myself. Just you mentioning it makes me want to go back and read it again. Right now, I'm going through the original Justice League run, so it's a nice coincidence you brought it up. Anyway, check out Ahoy Comics stuff. It's basically a group of former DC employees who wanted to take things in a more irreverent, 80s-style direction. Many of their titles parody DC stuff in a very good way. It might be exactly what you're looking for. Humorous, but with actual plot. Try The Wrong Earth, My Bad, Dragonfly and Dragonflyman, and maybe Babs as well.

Covid was dangerous to anyone under the age of 70?

It's disgusting that they plastered little skimpy whores on panzers

How come full auto rifles are so good in games but suck IRL?

>>69944
Assault rifle - a nice balance between recoil, weight, size, and the cartridge power


Battle rifle - 7.62x51 has ridiculous recoil. Reducing it means destroying user's ears. Good luck upgrading my ears to the point I could full-auto a G3/M14/FN FAL with a massive muzzle compensator

>>67877
I agree.

but!

you can tailor oversized items into fit items!

Bump! Back in 2010s, eBay buyers would abuse "fat fingers" app to track stuff on eBay listed with typos (hence with low views and bids)

I like bargains, savings, good deals. It's like a game in itself.

>>69925
Same.

t. spent thousands of dollars on home improvements instead of splurging even bigger sums for huge repairs.

>>67877
You can make it work. When I buy hoodies and sweatpants from temu I get them in XXL or bigger. I'm not fat but it's better to be safe than sorry. Usually they aren't too big but if they are then at best I have a cool cloak version of a hoodie and at worst I'll look like a wigger from 2004.

>>69591
How expensive are dolls like this?

>>69900
If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

>>69900
About $1,800 for a 4'9" - 5'2" TPE body+standard head. Add $800 to upgrade to silicone. A custom made head of your specific wife can set you back about $300.

>>69912
WHAT ABOUT 7 feet tall "orc gits"?

>>69917
No orcs yet. Tallest silicone succubus I could find is 5'9". There are mini goblins though, maybe you can stack them

one thing i realized about "learning" is that it's not a simple linear process and usually the most mainstream "common sense" approach is always misguided in some way and you have to tinker and experiment and dig deep into successful people's descriptions of what they did in order to find what exactly got them to that point. the reason people fail to learn is because the instructions are generally bad, they're based on some idea of how things are supposed to be learned. you sit down, open a textbook or go to class and then you learn, but it's never as simple as that. to learn math, you need to go beyond the textbook and really gain an intuition of the objects themselves and then, if you're successful, the formal crap takes care of itself because it flows downstream from a good intuitive understanding. if you want to learn how to play an instrument, you don't start by memorizing a bunch of music theory, you have to ultimately tinker until you find a feedback loop that actually works and lets you improve. if you want to learn a language, you don't study grammar, you gradually build an intuitive understanding by exposing yourself to simple sentences and working your way up to more and more complex language until you acquire it subconsciously. that's the kind of shit that you only figure out through trial-and-error and experience.

which leads me back to focus and discipline, things that people try to brute-force even though a lack of focus and discipline just means that your "learning" method is frustrating and isn't bringing you tangible results. once you find the right method, the work becomes natural and compelling, no need to fight yourself and keep hitting your head against the wall. when things work, it's easy. when things do not work, change your approach until it's easy.

>>68096
I dunno setting concrete goals only makes me less motivated generally. I will just look at it and think "woah I have to do that much?" and lose heart. If I just keep it vague I will feel okay as long as I make any sort of progress, instead of comparing with the specific end goal.

>>68696
This is so helpful and a wake up to me, I've had horrible focus since my brain gets scrambled with so many miscellaneous thoughts, when I work I'm always half there, with my other half in my imagination somewhere. I need to dedicate a specific time and be deep into it.

>>68699
relateable

If you can't focus on something you probably don't find it interesting and you're just kidding yourself.

i had a grey and silverish shiny rock as a kid, that i called my moon rock and thought came from space, and would use as kryptonite for my superman toy

>>69869
you don't have it anymore?

Back in mah day, "I N G R E S S" was a game with a hint of "extreme"-ish adrenaline.


Some "portals" would be located in gated areas.

In fact, at some point, I convinced a guard to only merely let me in for several meters "because I have a bet with my friends to check in here, not a real need to get inside"

Guard was like "oh, ok, nice water tower, happy photoshoot"

>>68506
U know when u get up in the middle of the night to go pizz and you stub your toe on something and it really hurts but you know you need to keep quiet because it's night time and people are sleeping but it hurts REAL badly so you go "ARGGGG!!"

>>68497
Would this come under anything that is seeking a thrill that goes against conformity ?

Well i watched a doc on gooner in the 763 cult I think it was I guess you could make something like that but instead it could be a arg ?

>>69586
thx for the reminder

>>67655
oh wait, I see it's a game, nevermind

>install
>i can only assume these two things going together means some sort of pedo shit going on
What could this possibly mean?
>>67657
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

Sequential Art was quite a thing
