>>29698 That may be true for garbage, but in my experience being in a cramped room packed to the cieling with items that have personal value oneself can be great. Consisder the first picture in >>29692. There's no garbage there, only items that would be of interest to an otaku who likes to work with computers. Every breath he takes is saturated with the ripe, salty aroma of his hobbies.
>>31931 >There are any reports of what happens to long term hikkis in japan? Most of them are still living with their now elderly parents or on some kind of welfare, if not wage slavery
>>31938 there's no way the people in these images are hikkineets. the guys with garbage everywhere maybe yeah but not this. in this image alone theres thousands of dollars worth of audio equipment
>>33088 I'm pretty sure that PS2 game is JPN exclusive. Either way being a hikikomori/hoarder isn't exclusive to Japan. Now if you're fucking upset, post your own fucking image
>>33364 >>33365 Yeah it's like a cloistered bunker that keeps you and your stuff protected and isolated but at the same time it's a room of someone who completely lost control of its own mess.
>>29692 it is interesting that he has the talent to draw like that while living in those conditions. usually such people aren't mentally organized enough to be productive, although if the drawing can't be traced to a released work perhaps they never achieved due to their condition
>>32522 Maybe they weren't when this stuff was bought.
I have thousands of dollars worth of audio equipment, but I haven't took a peek outside for six months and I don't depend on anybody else's money. How the hell am I supposed to spend all that money, even after wasting thousands on said audio equipment and such, when I'm alone and I rent cheap shitty apartment, but make (or made, havent worked in 8 months) decent salary?
>>32980 >It's a Japanese thing, they held on to XP and CRT televisions way longer than the rest of the 1st world for whatever reason Why write in past sense; I'll keep using my Eizo T960 as long as it works, alongside my couple Trinitron TV's. I use windows for only couple of games, and the installation hasn't connected to the net once (slipstreamed all hotfixes, so why), but I do use xp-amd64 sp2.
there is something unbelievably comfy about the early to mid 2000s, while it is also ubelievably depressing. I guess it's the feel of things long gone.
>>34911 >>34912 >>34913 Well the acting was horrible, and I might be rather biased to movies with a good soundtrack and depressive story I will admit. What I loved was the messages shown on screen that turned out to be the characters, the discontinuous story, the amateur camera style, and the dread of the characters showing some true despair. It has a glorious atmosphere that wraps the entire thing is this incredible almost apathetic melancholy, which compliments the horrid events taking place on screen.
I'm no movie critic or connoisseur, but I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
>>34914 That was what I took away too. I didn't really care about the characters and couldn't follow the story at all. I took away the atmostphere. The messages were annoying the hell out of me. Didn't read them. I liked the ending
>>34915 >The messages were annoying the hell out of me. Didn't read them What the hell, read them you fool they are important. Also the story isn't continuous, so it might require a rewatch to get everything from it. The act is bad, but the story is pretty dam good in my opinion.
Most Doujins that get printed and distributed at comic events or through an online printing service such as Melon Books never get scanned and released, not even on the Japanese webs
>>34908 "Depressing as hell" doesn't cut it as a term for me but there is a melancholic not-quite-sadness underneath the nostalgia I've developed for it because at the time I thought it sucked, and preferred the mood and aesthetics of the 90s. I remember the moods the 2000s gave me though even if I went back in time there's nothing much I could've done to take full advantage of it.
