Hobbies that don't deserve their own thread Anonymage 02/17/18 (Sat) 19:55:05 No.41994[Reply][Last 50 Posts]

Every other board has their own /general/ and it might be better to post about little known hobbies here, rather than have a new thread that gets 2 replies.

How about horseback riding?

yugioh Anonymage 08/19/19 (Mon) 00:45:58 No.49308 [Reply]

Any wizards play yugioh?

I collect the cards, though I don't really play the game. I'm 26 and still live with my parents as a hikki, so my parents are trying to force me to get a hobby to get me out of the house so I"m thinking of playing the game at my local card shop

It really is quite slow. On one hand it's good since it feels more grounded and we get a bigger sense of community compared to bigger imageboards, on the other hand sometimes it's a bit… too slow, like things never pick up a proper pace with the exception of a few boards and/or threads. I personally love it here, but not as my main imageboard, I prefer the pace of something like the slower 4chan boards, slow enough for it to not be overwhelming, fast enough for things to actually get somewhere more often too.

It's one of my only vices. The complexity and the "lawyer game"isms are addicting.
I think newcomers are so frequently repulsed by their expectations rather than the (modern) game itself. I'd describe it thusly:
There are two roles, the unmovable object (1st turn player), and the unstoppable force (2nd turn player). Your deck will be optimized to fulfill one of these roles, to an extent unlike any other card available, like a well oiled machine.
I like to visualize duels as two great kingdoms at total war readying their forces for a single decisive battle, rather than the gradual, drawn out conflicts seen in games like magic

I finished playing Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters II: Dark Duel Stories on GBC. I love the simplicity in its structure and rules, and the artwork is stunning! I recommend it to any fan of the IP, especially those that prefer the classic stuff, shorter turns, and Duelist Kingdom styled rules, it's fantastic.

I frequently notice things repeating every 12 years way better than our horoscope which always seemed like nonsense to me, but I have this obsession with noticing the 12 year cycle, it's fun.

Anonymage 03/24/26 (Tue) 16:06:13 No.70445

I used to be interested in this kind of stuff. It all starts falling apart when you start looking for something tangible, like a hard prediction. Or some real information about people's personalities. Then you notice they start coping with ascendant signs to explain why the virgo behaves like a sagitarius or moon signs when 2 people befriend each other but there signs shouldnt like each other.
It is just endless cope and fitting predictions. The personalities described are also so vague, I think you could see yourself in several signs. It is just a huge scam which has been going on since antiquity, I was once reading some texts from the 5th century warning about astrologers being a scam and a waste of money. I guess it is still cool to learn about the stars and the constellations and their terminology, but this would be called amateur astronomy.

Genocide Studies Anonymage 01/01/25 (Wed) 10:16:32 No.68481 [Reply]

One thing that completely captivates my interest and imagination is reading about genocides. Some might perceive it as an immature morbid fascination, but for me I think genocide connects aspects of history, politics and human psychology I find interesting.

I collect certain things related to genocide. I have a ‘srbosjek’ - a Serb cutter. The hand knife was used to cut the throats of Serbs during the genocide by the Croatian Ustasze.

I have always thought that beneath the veneer of human civility and empathy, most humans are under certain conditions capable of psychopathic acts of cruelty. Humans bend to social pressure with ease and our empathy is not as strong as it is performed. Lord of the Flies is an understatement.

I visited Cambodia and was really blown away by the history there. The ideology of the Khmer Rouge was fascinating. The number of people that took part in the genocide and only 3 were prosecuted.

War. War never changes.
It's the same theme of Fallout games though this book has a strong Christian message in it too. Rachel is supposed to be Jesus I think and is supposed to give a vindication to the abbot for staying true to God even with so much suffering in the world. He believes that God doesn't give a burden that they cannot bear and if you just remain steadfast there'll be a reward. The euthanasia in the last chapter seems to represent the opposite view of giving in to suffering and nihilism, the ethics of killing part is less important.

The last monk, upon entering, paused in the lock. He stood in the open hatchway and took off his sandals. "Sic transit mundus," he murmured, looking back at the glow. He slapped the soles of his sandals together, beating the dirt out of them The glow was engulfing a third of the heavens. He scratched his beard, took one last look at the ocean, then stepped back and closed the hatch.

That's a suitable ending for a novel expressing cycle. Good point to wrap things up. Overall I enjoyed it. It didn't wowed me to be honest. The central idea, rise and fall of civilizations, is common currency in fiction. The first part is where it shines in my opinion, and then it was a slow descent towards the end. Still, pretty good, and it's a classic science fiction novel, definitely a must-read if you want to be well read in the genre.

>How did you like the novel?
It's the first novel I've read in a long time. There is more symbolism than I am used to but I seem to understand most of it. I think it may be a bit heavy handed with the moralizing but maybe back in 50s it was pushing new ideas. WW2 was still fresh in memory after all so people could appreciate anti war messaging more. This kind of non-partisan government-critical pacifism probably contributed to the hippie movement later. In any case, I think it was interesting.

Read The 400-Pound CEO. The only downside was that it was so short. What a brilliant thing. Other /r9k/ tier books like Whatever or Mars are more depressing, but really, they didn't speak to me like this one did.
It's not about wallowing in one's own misery, and it has some humor in it, but damn, I was really sad by the end. The main character is really pathetic, and it's crazy how Saunders aptly described such a kind of man. Maybe it was too on the nose in a few places, though.
I will read the rest of CivilWarLand collection now.

Had a dream

one of the picrelated kept looking at me with her signature look - "cold, piercing, but if you get to know her you'll know its not coldness at all".

She said something "normal", small-talky to me, but I didn't rush to a notebook to write it down so now… I have to say - I don't remember.

Any notable dreams from childhood? I probably had this dream when I was around 4.

I was alone on this deserted island made out of ice/snow. It wasn't cold, and I wasn't worried. I was alone which I loved. It started raining toys, and at the time I was extremely into my matchbox and hotwheels cars, also had water guns falling from the sky. Had to have been the best dream I've ever had

Nightmare. Cute 2d happy succubus was dancing some classic dance solo at the stage. I was looking from the crowd. She looked like Saber (not exact). The crowd was cheering. It looked like she won something. Then a sofa appeared, it was there unnoticed. A man who looked like a pirate or some filthy baron from France of some past century with dark hair and maybe whiskers with a boner sat there and said something about liking her. Next I saw her standing bended over with her arms in the air incapacitated by a rope or something. She's crying in the dark near a window or a hole for a window while it's implied that's she's getting raped. Her first time too. It was gut-wrenching and painful to watch so I woke up.

I had this weird dream years ago where I was in this large pit kind of area, I was looking for a way out. The sky was red above, everything was basked in this dysty red glow. There was a dog with me that had a shiny mirror like coat of fur, i felt glad that he was there, he told me his name was 'murky' and it seemed important to remember his same for some reason

I think he talked to me telepathically but he was able to alter reality in the dream and I was able to escape thanks to that

Driving Anonymage 08/14/24 (Wed) 22:29:04 No.68029 [Reply]

Do you have a driver's licence? If so, how did you managed to obtain it? In Eastern Europe, it's pretty hard to get one, a long and painful journey.

It took me almost 1.5 years (including the COVID shutdowns) to get one. I also had to wageslave to be able to pay for the training, it's not cheap around here.

My motivation was that I live in a remote, hilly part of a small town, right next to a forest and there is no public transportation here. I was hold hostage up here, totally isolated. Sound good, but I was totally dependant on my parents to get into the town. I couldn't just go to the groceries, that would be a 2+ hour journey.

It's my single greatest achievement and I'm pretty proud of it. Driving is very useful skill, and one that is realistic and obtainable for NEETs, wizards. A way to make yourself more independent from your parents, others.

What are your thoughts?

US has 14.2 traffic fatalities per 100k. China has 17.4. For reference Sweden is the lowest major country with 2.1 and Zimbabwe is the highest at 41.2. So there's not really much difference between the US and China. China has actually implemented stronger standards recently too and competition in the marketplace is such that unsafe cars don't sell well.

Maybe bacause the feeling of that anyone get how you feel is in the entire film, all are assholes to protagonist and all put moralistic tags or bullshit on them. The protagonist feels lonely in a lot of ways, everyone feel distant to them in a not forced acting way.
There're some escenes that the dude and same the succubus turn full anxiety and i suffered that shit, i feel empathy for the protagonists so that maybe is a good camera and acting job.

I watched "Redux Redux" two days ago. It wasn't terrible— just kind of a turn-your-brain-off movie. You throw it on, kick back, and let it wash over you. It's about a succubus with a time machine who keeps jumping between parallel universes to track down the guy who took her daughter away, over and over.
