daydreaming about gensokyo gets me comfy

A wasteland cave.

a friday night without something nice to eat is terrible, just having something to snack on makes everything so much better. Its as much as the ritual of doing it as eating it. I fit right into you description. I love everything with salt, like potato chips. Its absolut comfy spot.

>>250985
That's exactly it, the ritual plays a massive role in it. I love just going to the store with an empty stomach and a bit of money and buying a load of food to eat. Nothing beats it. And yeah you're right, without some nice food it just feels empty.

Suggestions for comfy video games/TV series?

>>251491
Try Harvest Moon, Rune Factory, Animal Crossing, or Stardew valley for a relaxing game experience

nothing really, except I just remembered my slim PS2 and felt an emotional wave of comfy and nostalgia, playing that on my trusty old CRT tv is always a relaxing trip, especially considering its meaning to me, it was my first console mod

I found it donated in a wet box outside a value village at night with a broken disc drive, I gave it a used $5 hard drive and filled it with all the games I could never hope to play back it in the PS2 days, it was also my first time doing tiny smd soldering and was a smashing success

I really should dust it off and plug it back together soon, shitposting on this site is not comfy anymore … watching bad modern anime is not comfy, all my modern games suck

the future sucks

>>252366
Are there any copes left for us??
And i meant real ones that last

>>252380
shut up mod-kun

i'm not a mod you emptybrain

>comfy TV series
I liked Detectorists, it's about a group of guys that like going in English fields with metal detectors searching for old trinkets. there's some romance stuff but that's pretty much unavoidable with tv series.

Let me guess, racemixing and/or homosex?

>>252399
Stop talking about racemixing!! You know not the struggles we encounter in life!!

>>252399
As far as I remember both main characters are straight and their the couples are white.

>>252410
Amazing. I did not believe that such a thing was possible on the BBC.

being in my room with retrowave music drowning out the normies, getting fried on some instant coffee and reading hobby stuff online, then maybe re-sharpen a knife and smoke a cigarette

basically hanging out in my room I guess

Junk food used to be that for me, but now I feel too guilty about spending money on unnecessary food and feeling sick afterwards. Making pizza is pretty comfy and fills that void, but it takes days of waiting. Playing through dmc1 on higher difficulties for ranks is very nice at night. It makes me remember simpler times and forget about life's work. It's an all-in-one theme park of a time in games that's never coming back. Spending all day on the floor is very comfy, too bad it's already getting too cold for that. Reminds me of playing on consoles on the floor 15 years ago to be as close to the tv as possible. Still the same principle with being close to the monitor for maximum immersion. Comfort is quite rare these days, gotta experiment for new ways to get immersed in a pleasant flow. The darker the room, the easier it is to relax usually.

Just not working is glorious. Whenever I have an extended period of time where I don't have to work, I'm happy.

I would sell my fucking soul if it meant I never had to work again. I'm 24 now, I genuinely, honestly would die at 30 if it meant I didn't ever have to wageslave, and I'm not even depressed. I just hate working THAT much.

>>257175
> honestly would die at 30 if it meant I didn't ever have to wageslave


30 is too young for me, considering that you went to school, which is like been imprisoned with niggers for 10 or 12 years, depending where you live. That's because you need at least 5 or 6 years to recover from the PTSD caused by been at school and exposed to niggers and nigger brainwashing since you were a kid, so I'd say 40 is a good age to die as a wiz. You get to experience the joy of freedom only possible after you are healthy from nigger memories and nigger influence for 17 years. Hermit reclusive like life with escapism and good hobbies, away from normalniggers, that's the wiz life for me.

>>257176
Seems like you're traumatized by some niggers and haven't recovered. Poor wizzie

>>253979
You didnt even mention food but that sounds really nice.

My comfort food is soups, specifically ramen/pho/chicken noodle. I love the way they warm me up and make me want to go to sleep.

>>250975
Anything that helps me escape into a world of fantasy and not remind me of real life and stupid people. World-building, pre-2008 games, pre-2008 movies, classic books, manga, etc, especially fantasy and isekai. I prefer older stuff as I find most modern stuff is just too vulgar and degenerate. With world-building, I can spend hours in pure bliss just in my own little fantasy world, creating new stories or researching things to add to my world. I usually cycle through different media, so I'm not bored of one thing and can constantly stay comfy. Right now, I'm going through a manga binge. I do have comfy days or routines for different times of the year. For example, I have a LotR EE marathon every Christmas, I find myself playing strategy games like Anno 1404 a lot more during winter as well.

I also love gardening, it helps me feel like I at least have a little bit of control over something and mould a little part of the real world to my liking. Plus, it is so rewarding to actually put effort into something and actually gain from it, not like the drudgery of a dead-end job. I know it's cliche, but there is honestly something about sitting down in the garden on a quiet hot summers day, putting on some classic music (imagine Joe Hisaishi's One Summer's Day), glass of cold juice in hand, and being surrounded by your growing flowers and vegetables, with butterflies fluttering around and the scent of cut grass. I am already planning next year's garden, building raised beds to make it easier to weed and harvest, as well as planting a dwarf sweet cherry tree so I can have free fresh fruit in a few years.

I love walking, going through country and forest parks, or up into the mountains, or along quiet coastal paths. Especially during weekdays when there are hardly anyone about. Get a good day, even in winter, with fresh air and a comfortable pace, just re-energises me and helps me snap out of any spiral I'm going though. It also allows me to immerse in my own little world, like "here I am, a medieval monk going on my pilgrimage to the top of this Holy Mountain". Gives me ideas for my world-building and helps me put some parts of it into perspective to make it a bit more realistic. I'm not particularly fussed about my health, but another good thing about spending a day walking is I've exercised! Like gardening, after a long day walking, sitting down on an isolated bench with some picnic or takeaway fish and chips and watching the sun set over the harbour and beach is very comfy and rewarding.

Food is indeed another great comfort. I've found that an all-greasy/sweet meal just makes me feel worse after a while, so I like to have a nice balanced meal. And by balanced, I don't mean nutritionally balanced, I'm still going to enjoy "unhealthy" food, but it's going to be a bit more varied than just processed fat and sugar. Like having a good mash and steak, or a cheeseburger and fries, or spaghetti and meatballs smothered in cheese, followed by brownie and ice cream or cheesecake or apple tart, rather than just stuffing myself full of doritos and mountain dew. I don't drink alcohol, too poor and too afraid of becoming an alcoholic, but I do indulge in flavourful drinks like a malt milkshakes and fruit smoothies. Takeaway is fine once in a while, but I prefer to make my own food. Not only does it reassure me of the ingredients, but I think putting a little bit of effort in makes the food all the more satisfying.

So I do a lot of comfy things. I need a lot of comfy things to get me through this life. Best thing about these hobbies is that they are relatively cheap and you can spend hours on them at a time if you want.

what can i spend my bux on to make my life comfier?

>>257204
Unironically buy a dakimakura of your waifu if you have one but aside from that and art of your waifu you should only spend money on drugs or a method of suicide.

>>257206
i don’t have a waifu but i do have a plain daki
i was thinking about buying a better, memory foam body pillow

>>257217
You need to do a bit of research before buying a dakimakura to make sure you get a good one and cheap as possible.
Ask an otaku.
>buying memory foam body pillow
>not importing the best dakimakura pillow from japan
It is simply nice to have a daki with animoo gurl on it.
I have a cute anime succubus right next to me right now I can cuddle.

>>250975

Last time I had brownies was when I got my ice cream maker. Make some vanilla ice cream and fudge brownies. It was so comfy.

I think I am going to make some chocolate cookies and drink it with some milk.

>>257187
Nice post, I enjoyed reading it. I can relate to the daydreaming and fantasy world stuff.

>>250975
What I'm having right now: comfy warm fire, comfy twinkling Christmas tree, comfy brownie in custard and comfy lord of the rings on TV.

Merry Christmas gentlemen.

Bout 8 shots of vodka gets me feeling nice and comfy

>>257187
I envy you.
Cheers!

Sitting in bed watching media and snacking on chocolates or lollies while also browsing image boards in alt tab.

>What hits the spot for you?
Cold weather, laying in bed watching anime on a tablet, coffee. Having a drink on a Saturday after a shitty week.

I hate most new stuff with a hot burning passion, especially music. 80s cartoons and the like does it for me, especially commentary from the people who made it.

>>250975
i absolutely love to just sit down at my computer and have a hot cup of black coffee and a few cigarettes. its just warms my soul. especially late at night when i know the whole town is asleep.

honestly don’t even know anymore. Used to be playing games but I struggle trying to balance video games and work to the point where I have to completely cut out of video games because I will quit my work and play 15 hours a day non-stop (single player games like rpgs). I do partake in maladaptive daydreaming about characters I like and it does help calm me down.

Incoming summer storms. When you can start smelling it and the wind starts picking up coupled with massive anvil clouds and lightning. It's incredibly mesmerizing to me.

>>262067
When the sky becomes orange right before a thunderstorm is probably my favorite type of weather. That and thick fog.

>>262067
Happening here right now.
Yesterday was an awful day, over 35ºC and it didn't decrease much at night. Went to sleep with the fan on and the bedsheets felt sticky and itchy. Early this morning, wind from the south started blowing (I live in southern hemisphere so south winds=cold winds). Temperature already dropped like 10º compared to yesterday and the storm hasn't even started. As much as I hate summer, this is one of the best feelings in the world.

spring
after 6 months of winter, the sights, dry streets, warmth and most of all the fragrances of spring, no mosquitoes yet and having long walks

except when walking past a stench cloud of 6 months worth of melting dog shit on almost every sidewalk, that part's gross

How can I spend my money to be as comfy as possible?

It's around the transition to the next month as it happened recently:
Got my NEET bux, which eases my mind, because I just need some essential things to get comfy.

Of course, the yummy junk food - but also good coffee, sparkling mineral water, calming and warming herbal teas as an addition to my benzo medication - which isn't exactly cheap, because the insurance only pays for some weeks, after that you have to pay much more. And no, this isn't creating a fluffy dream world, it just works out for the basics - little anxiety / mind fucks; good sleep when I want to.
Also a good book and a last tea, before the pill kicks in.

Then, aside that, the setting is mostly a good TV show, [Anime, movie] from before ~2010, (I seem to have that in common with others here) …
Or coffee and cigarette and some metal music to play an oldschool shooter.
But sometimes I go hard and drink myself to hell, with nostalgic music.
Only comfy if enough benzos to bear the next day.

I also experienced that long walks ease the mind and make better sleep and the usual computer thing more enjoyable.

My first directive is that it hasn't to be perfect - just as little as possible obligations and being able to laze around, living out the years without too much "excitement".

>>262108
Late spring and early fall are equally comfy. Winter, summer, and early spring and late fall are gross. At least in my wizziehood

>>262109
A good chair is fundamental, some nice noise cancelling headphones, a coffee grinder to make good fresh coffee, books. Kinda depends on what you like doing, wiz.

Rain.

sitting alone in my room, full of coffee, holding my warhammer and thinking about the good times

>assemble a PC with cheap used hardware
>throw in an SSD
>see it working perfectly fine
Oh, pure bliss.

Speaking of comfy, did any of you used to visit the comfy board in anon.cafe? Do you know what happened to it? It has been down since at least monday, I really miss it…

>>262841
I use NEET.moe sometimes but it is godawfully slow.

>>262843
That place is full of crabs. Most of the neet sites seem to be empty or slow anyway. The neet thread here in /lounge/ hardly gets any new posts. I guess there are more wage slaves on the internet now than there used to be.

>>262844
Wait I was thinking about neets.me

>>262843
>I use NEET.moe
Seems like a nice place, I see some posts that were made on comfy as well, so I'm assuming there's some overlap.
>godawfully slow
That's just part of the experience

The problem is, I'm not really neet as I have a job, so I feel like I shouldn't be posting there at least until I get fired.

>>262844
>The neet thread here in /lounge/ hardly gets any new posts.
What am i supposed to be posting there? "Hi, i'm a NEET, having a NEAT day here"

>>262854
>cat snoring in the next room
What a behemoth you got there

Does anyone enjoy the smell of brand new tires? This is something that would weird out my family whenever we went to hardware stores and I would point out how much I liked that, ever since I was a small child.

>>262856
I enjoy the smell of treated sewerage I think the shit ponds smell nice they are treated anyway I do not see the issue.

>>262856
>>262861
I LOVE the smell of chlorinated swimming pools.

>>262855
Not him but snorring cats be pretty loud

>>262868
>>262855
interesting, just yesterday I watched a vid of a cat whose purring was the loudest and so that won him a Guinness world record

>>262871
>Merlin
>confirmed wizcat
That's probably his way of screaming from anhedonia.

This week has been a comfy week. A sweet spot where the weather is nice, but not too hot. And it is a normal moth before the school holidays, so I went walking along the beach and in the park with barely a normie in sight.

>>262856
I like the smell of gasoline

>>267611
It smells like VICTORY.

Things used to be much comfier before the internet took over my life. There used to be good shows on TV to watch. I had fun games to play on my Windows 95 PC and on my PlayStation and Gameboy. The TV was a modestly-sized Sony Trinitron that sat on a coffee table so the optimal viewing position was sitting on the floor. There used to be a video rental store a block away from home with 99-cent movies and candy and a frozen yogurt shop next door. I used to have no problem reading a book or drawing.

Now, all I do is use the internet. It's like I have no control over my actions. No matter how much I might want to do something else, I cannot. I think I may have died and gone to Hell and this is all a form of ironic punishment for being an internet troll when I was alive.

>>271213
I have similar memories to yours. I wonder what it's like for younger people today who grew up completely absorbed in the internet from childhood, who don't even have the memory of something different.

I like waking up in the early morning, when everything is still and everyone is asleep, and taking a shower and drinking tea. It reminds me of when I was a school student waking up at 6:30 and it also reminds me of going on planes.

>>271212
I see a fellow with a good music taste

For me it's just looking at interesting artwork without any character in focus and creating by own story of it.

>>271229
I feel like some of these experiences could be recaptured if I could just make myself spend some of my money on movies or books that I actually enjoy. I have a pathological aversion to spending money as if I will someday come to regret even the smallest unnecessary purchase. I have a developed a sort of self-consciousness as well where I find it troubling to watch a movie or play a game if anyone else at all might be listening or watching so I hide in my room with headphones on. I fantasize about using my savings to build a large shed in my parents' yard and have it converted into a guest house so I can put a couch and a TV in it and watch my shows and play vidya in solitude. I could even find a CRT if I really fancied having one. Maybe I could install a vending machine with snacks in it. I doubt these things could really pry me away from the internet or foster a sense of comfort.

>>271234
whoops, meant to reply to >>271223

>>271235
It's OK wiz

Tabletop games are comfy

>>271232
Extra nice.

>>250975
Hate sweet; prefer salty.

>>262743
that's pretty cool, dude.

>>262845
Please don't link that disgusting site of zoomer fakecels and fakeneets, it's repulsive.

>>274393
Did you cook that salmon, mussels and potato chips meal yourself?

Looks absolutely delicious. I assume the drink is white wine.
