only good for high schoolers in high school environmebt as some kind of "club" since adult blokes live a house-commute-job-commute-house-commute-job-commute trap…


..to DEDICATE time, one has enjoy day-offs.

Say, we could use a DnD which involves Genshin Impact-like mechanics of swapping characters right at the combat. Why? To swap party members IRL!

For uber-long parties like DnD, board games are only good for high schoolers in high school environmebt as some kind of "club" since adult blokes live a house-commute-job-commute-house-commute-job-commute trap to DEDICATE time.

Although, playing a DnD with an AI m8 to sit instead of you would be based.

>I really don't understand how people think 2049 is better than the original Blade Runner
it's a philistine opinion. The original Blade Runner has superior visuals, music, scripting, casting and pacing

2049 is popular because it has the AI girlfriend and Ryan Gosling looking sad and lonely

I don't know if this is well known and I don't need to explain this or not, and I thought this was common knowledge, but just in the 1% case not, here goes…
There are multiple versions of the original Bladerunner. One has this really hammy voiceover that ruins half of the film(*). The other knows what it's doing and let you _watch_ the film (and has the famous origami unicorn with a lot of meaning). People just getting into Bladerunner are basically at a coin flip about what they see, and many, many people think "Oh, theatrical cut, that must be the good one, it's 'theatrical' or 'more original' so that must be 'authentic!'" and it's definitely not.
(*)It's theoretically not that much voiceover, but half of what makes Bladerunner great is that it's one of the few movies that has silence and ambiance. So it doesn't take a lot to absolutely crush what is the soul of the film. And once it's destroyed once, it's kind of just destroyed from that point onwards.

sorry.

the oldest: some Charlie Chaplin's skits, I suppose.
the last movie I watched: latepy, I finally watched that 2002 "Identifying Bourne" movie.

And frankly, the 1960s Mini Cooper outmaneuvring French police was cool to watch

I will share my personal milestones here.

(I say milestones, but this doesn't mean the list is in a chronological order. I ordered it in a way I felt it would make sense. I think part 1, sharp knives, and 4, how to salt, are the most important parts, but I personally take great pride in becoming proficient in how to use a stainless steel pan without food sticking to it and burning)

1. Sharp Knives will make cooking 10 times more enjoyable, and the result is much better too, because you will not squeeze/damage the food. Put your knife on a fresh tomato and pull the knife without ANY pressure. If it doesn't cut the tomato, your knife is dull.

2. Get a wooden board. Don't get bamboo. It has lots of glue in it, and I heard the surface is a bit too hard and will ruin blades. Don't get a small one, otherwise you have to put things in different bowls constantly. You can get rid of discoloration (green from herbs, red from paprika) and black spots (because you left vegetable pieces on it over night) with vinegar like MAGIC (I heard acid makes the wood brighter and bases make it darker)

3. If you learn to master stainless steel, you don't have to put up with any weird stuff they put on pans nowadays (If done right, a 'sunny side up' egg will float around in the stainless steel pan like if its ice skating, and if preferred can even stay totally white on the bottom side)

4. buy natural salts without funny stuff in it, and learn how to season with it. salt early, so that the salt gets into the food while it cooks, when it's done, you can salt it to taste again. Don't be scared of salt, salt is magic, salt is life. You will learn to taste it if there is not enough salt in it. And you absolutely will taste it if there is too much salt in iPost too long.

I never cook. I only eat out. Like the Ancient Romans. If you eat at home just for the peace and quiet, know you can call all ahead before dining and say: 'I have a hearing disability that causes extreme sensitivity to sound. Could you please turn off the music during my visit?' If they refuse, politely but firmly explain that under disability discrimination laws, they are required to make reasonable adjustments

>politely but firmly explain that under disability discrimination laws, they are required to make reasonable adjustments
Where on Earth? Los Angeles? No business will fall for this lie. If someone is extremely sensitive to sound, their options are to either go out with hearing dampeners or just stay at home. Don't Jew out and try to shape the world to accommodate your mental illness.

cars are complex machines that just breakdown for no reason

>>69910
Nothing breaks down for no reason. Looking under the hood and just listening to the engine can give any guy enough information about what is failing. He can either fix it before hand or after wards. You're no different. Just evaluate your vehicle's status and pack some tools and parts for what you suspect may break. If not, keep enough cash hidden in the vehicle for a tow or fuel-up.

>>69910
true for fancy cars like modern Benz or Bimmer, maybe true for Xiaomi and such - complex cars full of extra mechanisms.


cheap cars, however, are reliable thanks to being simple enough to rattle, to make noises before breaking down to a halt

I recently wanted to buy either an MX-5 or MR2 but I've just learned they are top priority targets to be stolen and stripped for parts to sell. Same with most cool cars these days. Can't have shit anymore

>>70100
Put in some GPS trackers.

Bonus points for restoring an MR2 and inserting some GPS trackers right into the plastic.
You can also plaster "GPS" stickers along some Y2K stickers, haha

The same goes to owning a Mustang Foxbody or Pontiac Fiero.

Also. AFAIK, Dodge Challengers are way worse in this regard, since Challengers come with a built-in latch that unlocks the car's something to make repo-ing easier.

>>70095
Same. I don't care about being "productive", but what I loathe the most is that all my time feels like it evaporates into thin air. When I try to recall what I did in a week it's a blend of rotting on my bed with the occasional odyssey being made to sustain my existence. I can may be able to recall watching a video about assembly programming or lore of a game I have never and will never play, but that too will probably fade soon enough.

I've got a few books laying around that I ought to have read months ago, but serve as decoration for my shelf.

Unfortunately, I also don't have a gracious way to end my post. I'm just another soul stuck in this mental prison.

We can make it out if we try, wizbros…

We waste time on the internet instead of reading literature because it gives faster dopamine at the expense of meaning.

Thanks for the recommendation. But I suck at digital drawing lol, I will still try it though.
>>69955
>drawing something from reference is easy sure but that's obviously not what I want
Yeah, drawing without the need of using references is also one of my goals.
I actually tried to draw something a few days ago just using my imagination.
It looks wonky as hell and it took me like 6 hours lmao. https://files.catbox.moe/c65f3r.jpg

Oh also, I failed that. Only made it till day 10 kek.

i have been drawing kemonololi

>>70091
damn your artstyle is good, draw something else like miranda from wakfu

>>70091
that was small paper, I have found big paper
>>70092
Thank you, I may draw her feeling soft in the chest, some day when I am done waging

>>68877
I'm not sure if this is good advice, but if you're like me and want to draw, but often feel lazy and struggle to find the motivation to do anything because of depression and work draining you out… start a few projects at the same time, I preferred to go from one project to the next only when I finished it, but now being able to go back and forth between different artworks depending on how I feel, and what I feel like drawing, makes it easier, and overall I feel it can be a demotivating factor to stare at a blank canvas, so I use the moments I'm more inspired to put a rough sketch down, and whenever I'm not too inspired I just pick it up from where I left of.

Qxir has this "for hikkis"

FascinatingHorror has a bunch of slow and cold descriptions of horrific fires (explosions sometimes); only a cool /wiz/ could handle this as some popcorn feed

reddevils500a / reddevils500b channel was ebin in terms of anime hikki NEET stuff

That's a shame. What type of thing was on there, or do you have archives? Sounds like I would have liked him.

Succubus.

Depends on your goals and proclivities.

Like I workout to make myself better at my hobbies and make my work feel easier.
I don't need to be the biggest most strongest in the whole world for it to be worth my time.

>Does anyone also have tips on how to feel full and not feel the need to eat food?
>drink lots of water
>compensate lack of carbs with fiber and lean(ish) protein
>consume only good fat, no vegetable oil at all
>take most of the carbs of your day in the pre-workout meal (if a full meal, eat 2 hours before training), so you feel energized in your training session and to use the consumed energy effectively
>cut off stupid "food" like candy and soda, use your sugars strategically

A useful diet tidbit. If you're a food enthusiast, transform your meal into a delish by using different seasoning and adapting existent recipes to your goals. For example, I make yakisoba with extra meat and vegetables and less noodles.
A huge beef or chicken thigh with great seasoning and some BBQ sauce (here's your strategic sugar) as a full meal, for instance. If you think the sodium is too much, chug down your water. Impossible to feel empty. And an idea for a snack:
>ground lean meat (80%)
>oat powder (20%)
Make meatballs with those ingredients, go light on the seasoning and store them in the freezer. Whenever you crave for crap food, shove some of these bad boys in an air fryer and you're good to go.

>>51836
I don't deadlift because I am too tall and have slipped discs in my back. Wish I could tho.

I wont be reading all the replies but I am also addicted to eating and how I go about not eating all day is drinking a lot of water and tea. Makes me feel full and drinking a cup of tea almost gives me the same feeling as snacking. And if you really want something to eat just eat rice cakes, celery and stuff like that

>>51836

>Right now I'm 80 lbs overweight and need to stop eating so much food. The problem is I'm addicted to food and since I'm a 28 year old virgin, it's not like I have much else to do

Random, VERY RANDOM piece of advice from a 30-something fatty who gets his food from a bakery/from his mum



If you're like me - as in not designed for high education - you really, REALLY ought to try to upgrade yourself to a cook, who *professes* at spending his time to process fine stock into fine food.

I mean, a proper *trades school* cook - if you are a NEET - would give a job that allows you both a earn $$ salary (not $ poor, not $$$ rich, but have some room for fun) AND you'll probably get a chance to recycle undemanded food as your extra calorie supply, kekw.

Your opinion on "digital photoframes"?

I may or may not.
Magic and the occult aren't especially strange, but being this dedicated to it usually is.
And playing Dungeons And Dragons nonstop for years, same game, strange when compared to usual stuff people do.
Got a few others, as well.

Oh, and creating God and gods, is strange hobby and interest, to be so involved in.

I collect pics and vids on internet, is that weird?

The internet was invented to share pictures and vidtures.
