I wonder how many people we have left browsing wizchan and more importantly, what the hell those people are even doing. I've posted extensively about comics, movies, documentaries, TV shows, books, rpgs and even cooking but you never get a response about any of those things. It's pretty much talking to yourself. Even the big two, games and anime don't get much going anymore. I get that when you're depressed or waging there's not much energy left for anything but is that it now for this place? Just the droning shrieks of the sad and miserable?

>>310476I spent upwards of 12 hours a day on interesting games as a young adult. The more I aged, the deeper my depression became and now I no longer feel anything.
I used to get immense joy from exploring game universes, and now it's been 6 years since I even played a game for 15 minutes before realizing how pointless it is.
Really, count yourself lucky if you still get joy from TV shows, movies and games.
I really have no other dopamine sources left except food, despite being normal weight. And it doesn't taste as good as it did as a teen or 20-something, but it still creates happiness for a few hours.

Wizchan or its users aren't dying. All communities of this size go through periods of drought. Seasons, if you will. Things aren't slow; they are as fast as they are and that is how they ought to be. Things are cozy. Exciting posts and fast threads will return when they return.

I have no urge to kill myself or suddenly start chasing succubi (or men), and the thought of leaving the internet makes me shutter.
Hell, I probably will keep coming here in particular since I like the direction the new staff have taken, even if the new mod is a bit of a lush and shitpost when drunk with their tag on sometimes, lol.
All this site needs is a competent dev to fix all the broken shit and it will be a new wizchan golden age.
Not that I can complain much since my knowledge of web-dev is minuscule but I know enough to know how overwhelming it can be when you don't know much.
Anyway, I suspect most wizards sort of get into a comfortable holding patter once they find a equilibrium that works for them.
When you get into the habit of more or less doing the same stuff over and over again what is the point in posting about it? So it's natural to post less when nothing is going on.

>>310585there are some minor upsides to nicotine, that come with taking a short acting stimulant, and you can mitigate the downsides like cancer, by not consuming nicotine, and addiction by using more gradual dosage mechanism like transdermal patches instead of smoking or using snuff. any tobacco use is associate with cancer, while nicotine use is not well studied in non-smokers, it doesn't seem to be carcinogenic in anywhere near the same degree as nicotine.

>>310586nicotine is linked to cancer because stimulate vascularization; the tabacco is fine, as long natural and not in form of cigarette (the main cancerogenic stuff made to addict and kill you), but cigar, pipes or rolling paper. The main issue about smoking is the hot smoke (and hot things in general) which also linked to cancer, but can be avoided smoking with a cold drink, and tar/burning leftovers, which is reduced by using a filter, but isn't 100% and removes the flavor reducing to taaste like smoke, and overall lung health problems which are serious and a big no-no, but true deal breaker for me was erection dysfunctional and penis shrinkage. Few years ago I realized that stoic and calmness from old men were because nicotine and I also confirmed this by my father, which used to be stoic, calm and taciturn, became a man with vagina after quitting smoking and alcohol. So, if you already are smoking and not plan to quit, do yourself a favor and smoke pipes or cigars, your addiction gonna be controlled, much less frequent and cravings at maximum 2 times/week at worse.

Living out of a car for more than a week or two kinda sucks though. It's basically a different rut.
If it's winter for you then I would keep your adventure short, to maybe a few days. Mainly just because car maintenance is a pain in the cold and if something goes wrong it can cause a chain of problems to snowball into more then you can handle.

I had no towing insurance either and got stranded in the middle of nowhere one time and had to pay a bunch for the tow and the repair. Getting your car worked on while you live in the car is always awkward too. Makes you feel homeless because you have no where to go. I have a feeling I got taken advantage of too by basically every mechanic. They can sense weakness. Now I have a car that is still under warranty though. It's smaller without the amenities of an RV but the fuel and maintenance should be much cheaper so I think it will actually be better.

Speaking of Skyrim. I tried modding for the first time and game just won't launch. Turn out you need to install 3rd party software to install and manage the mods or to provide functionalities the mods requires. Fucking dependency hell in my video games. Not in the mood for this shit.
No.310712
>>310711You can still install mods the old ways. The main universal dependencies are:
- A version of the game EXE that isn't the current version
- The Script Extender (All Creation Engine games need one)
- The Archive Invalidator
- Form List distributor or soemthing idk?
Which are one-click installs with the Skyrim-specific or Nexus general managers. They too can be installed the old way but due to different EXE versioning demanding different versions of the SKSE etc, the manager makes sure you're using the correct one. Once the game is in this modable state, ESMs and data folders can be dragged and dropped as usual.
The benefit to using a Mod Manager is that it's non-destructive. In manual mod installation, if you have two non-ESM mods that change the same piece of default content, the latter install will overwrite and break the former by deleting the first instance of that content's filename. With a Mod Manager, you can install both mods and while one the latterly loaded one will work, you can tick it off and the contents of the former will still be intact.
It puts a lot of responsibility on the mod author to define the filepaths appropriately for compatibility while removing the risk for the player to wreck his save or game entirely
No.310713

>>311097Any pics? Vids? Stories of them doing this? I need proof for my research. A hypothosizm I have regarding horse semen is how it could be used for GAINZ. Human testes, when full of semen, continue to produce semen and sperm, absorbing the oldest fluid in the glands and using it to directly and efficiently build testosterone. Of course, semen breaks down in the stomach and gut to the point that when guzzled, all which is left of it after digestion are the radical androgens which, upon being sent to the liver and dermis, become etrogenic by stimulating fat cells. So I was thinking, if horse semen is injected in to the testes directly, could it be absorbed by the organs responsible for breaking it down in to usable testosterone?

It's strange, I can think about these things on my own no problem, but talking about them to another person just opens this floodgate of emotion. I suppose that's the point of therapy, to feel and process your emotions, but I've done it before and it's never really helped, I just cry like a bitch and then nothing ever changes. why can't they just be contented with letting me exist here in the house in peace? We can only get moments of peace before they go back to trying to make me be a normalfag. I basically can't say no considering all they do for me and how desperate they seem, but I know it's never gonna work and I'm never gonna be a normalfag.

Thankfully, I never resorted to any drugs or wasted money on therapy which is a scam that works only for normalfags.
It’s a long journey for things to settle down when you are a wiz, depending on your own particular situation. Sometimes you have to show an effort on your own part for your family to understand you struggle with the life they expect you to have. Getting a job of any kind, preferably a freelancer one, or where you do part time, is a good way to get them off your back, spending less time at home, being more active, not in a social way, but just being outside if possible, where they don’t see you while also having a job to back up that semblance of normalcy all parents desire for their children will help you. Good luck and remember that living on your own can be way much harder and taxing than living with your folks, wizcel friend. Sometimes the best solution is to try and make up with your parents, that's if they care about you, they should understand. And like I said, if you show to them that you can handle yourself at least a bit in life, by doing something they consider good(having a job, helping with the bills, etc.) then that secure good family relations.

what is it like long-term neet?
that is going to depend as you well know on, richfag or poorfag status, and if you have nice people around you that care or on your own, and if you have health issues or fine.
so it's not a neet question it's more about, if your life can be good then it can be good as a neet or no. if it's going to be bad it's going to be bad and there is only neet and no.
>>310416so, well i read that this guy said time is a great healer. not true. time is required for healing, that doesn't make time a healer. time can make things much worse and much more painful.
that expression from the ring, this too shall pass, you entirely missed the meaning and its context as delivered in the story where it came from. literally in the sentence after you said it you went against the meaning of it.
people can spew out anything and not make any sense of it just say things, and then not see other things that are self-evident. just read that post, that is not a person that has healed from anything, that is a really sick individual that is deriving pleasure from the suffering of another, and putting themselves in a position to judge what punishment someone deserves.
you are no wizard, you're not even a sir, you're not even a normal. you're a legit sociopath that is deranged and you must suffer horribly. i will pray for you.
being a neet is going to be a highly personal experience at the end of it all. you can get something out of it, or you can get nothing out of it, it can do good for you or bad for you, for some it will lead them to good path and others bad path.
you all know how to live your life, it's in the choices you make every day down to the smallest one. that guy i quoted is choosing to be evil, he let the evil consume him, and he became even more evil than the guy he's describing. it's really sad.
whatever you do as a neet long term, take this for granted, it's way to easy to get your head stuck up your ass and be in a stupid little echo-chamber because you want to make yourself feel good and you're so important and special. you aren't, learn to control that ego in check and play your part. you don't need to be the mc. humble yourself.
time gives birth to truth, which many are clearly in need of.
you will learn in time, and you will learn what 'this too shall pass' actually means.

i'm glad you don't need it, to say that it's a scam when it's very important for some people and some conditions, especially extreme trauma related, that's a lie.
the drugs part yes in 99% cases going to be a scam and make you worse off but there are 1% applicable cases and here again pareto principle applies and for those 1% its going to be life changing. not everyone is a larp, there are a tiny minority that are legit needing help. if you've never interacted with or seen them on/off medication you don't know anything and your opinion is only puff your breastplate out like a spring chicken. yuck. i've seen then, when they don't get their monthly injectable, they go from living in supported housing quietly, to being huge drain on the system, they run homeless, piss everywhere cause problems in everyday life, waste lots of public resources.
therapy for some things is essential, for other things, it's a surrogate and enabling, however that is really the best some can manage so that too isn't even throw-away. tired of all the failed normals man it really is a bummer, their lack of insights and ignorant takes is so old.

some people need therapy they have no other external support to provide the absolutely essential one on one interaction and communication required to deal with certain conditions and traumas. you internet edgelords shouldn't even be trying to engage me in serious discussion when you have no experience of knowledge of what you're talking about. there are myriad of mental health conditions some of which respond to treatment and many that don't. for those conditions that do respond to treatment and require therapy/counselling, they're very important and useful to make a person functional. a lot of homeless veterans for example, don't need medication, many would do amazing with good therapy, there are few good therapists however and the ones that are good are prohibitively expensive and in high demand.
i'm not talking about the angst-driven nonsense you read on depression, i'm talking about real mental illness, trauma, real stuff. the kinds of things most of you sheltered kids haven't the least notion of nor would you ever want.
pro tip. it's better to not state your opinion, than spew garbage that is nothing. if you do the former you avoid looking stupid, and you help reduce the amount of garbage nonsense on the internet. yes its very cool to say that therapy is about making you into a drone very cool. people that are permanently disabled and will never work again and are not trying to work again in their life, get therapy too and they need it not so they can work but so that they can resemble functional human beings and not shells. something you privileged sheltered failed normans wouldn't know anything about.

There's something quite odd going on with my computer. I have a C drive where windows 10 is and a storage drive, D. When I try to copy files from the C to D the computer crashes and I actually have to remove it from the power socket to make it work again. This only start happening today. The same happens when trying to copy files from D to C, but it doesn't happen if I copy files from C or D to an external hard drive or copy files from it to them. I've never seen this happening before.
I booted Linux Puppy to see if it is a windows problem and the exact same thing happened. As soon as a copy and past a file from C to D or D to C the computer crashes. I wonder if anybody here ever had that problem or perhaps know what it could be.

If you are working and they aren't and they are interfearing with the work being done then management will take action against them to preserve productivity. That highschool bullshit doesn't fly in any workplace that actually is profitable.
And if they don't take action and you are being harassed then document it and then file a lawsuit for the ultimate payday. Then you truly won't have to work ever again because you hit the jackpot and will make tens of thousands, to even millions of dollars if you were legitimately harassed and the company did nothing about it.

IMDB needs a god damn marvel/superhero filter
also something for children's shows/movies
wading through this shit is a god damn task. and the ratings (G, PG, PG-13, etc) don't seem to work at the moment, i can look up a new tv series for example, look at its rating, and then search for that rating and it doesn't appear. so no convenient way to exclude 'G' content which would exclude most kid's shows
and the genre filters are AND modifiers. for clicking both scifi and fantasy search for movies tagged 'scifi AND fantasy'. a way to search using OR would be nice
i can't believe this is the biggest site for searching through movies and so on. it is not good

>>310483I've never really understood how you're supposed to talk about TV. Like other than saying if you liked it, what is there to say? It's just entertainment. Most of the discussion about these topics is extremely shallow and uninteresting. I think that is >>310476's problem. If you want to have an actual discussion about something, you need to get into a hobby in which you can actually do something, not just sit there and consume it. Something like electronics you could talk about endlessly. The deeper the knowledge and technique required to do something, the more you can talk about it with someone. The problem is having hobbies that don't require any knowledge or even require you to actually do anything.
The older I get the more I realize the best hobbies involve some aspect of design or creation that requires research into how to best do it or some mastering of technique. Get into some sort of crafting. Make things you want/need. That provides intrinsic motivation to the hobby. Writing, woodworking, blacksmithing, welding, electronics, coding, 3D modeling, etc. There is a whole world of things out there waiting for you to learn how to do, but people go for the lowest effort, highest reward stuff like watching TV and end up feeling unsatisfied with life.

I was in my uncle house in a family reunion, and my cousin which is almost 20 years older than me appeared with friends, i greeted him because he knows me and i know him so we get along well, but the friends he was with were the classical dark triad sociopath chads, when i was done i gitted out of there.
I assume that my cousin is the same but since he treats me well (i also have another cousin with asperger and those two get along fine) i guess some individuals of that kind of people can be empathic too.
This makes me think that we should have been more sociopathic when we were young.

Look, I'm not saying that there's nothing at all to discuss, but at the end of the day discussing is all you can really do. You're not contributing or creating anything, just interpreting someone else's work. It's passive, not active, that's my problem with it. With other hobbies you have goals and those goals inform what you talk about. If you want to know how to make a chair you can share your thoughts with someone and talk about different joints you could use for example. It is productive. Commenting on media is just worthless because all you can do is refine your interpretation of a work of art. If your end goal in life is to be really good at understanding TV, well I guess you've found your hobby, but it just feels a bit empty to me.
No.311660
>>311659I agree with you.
I especially hate when things are purposefully left open-ended or there are a lot of unresolved narrative arcs; that's just an excuse to make the fandom talk and talk and talk.
After I've consumed the media, that's it. I then prefer to move to a hobby where I actually create something, instead of discussing something that, after all, is merely a story that a dude in the US made up.

I'm a failed cartoonist and pretty used to being rejected by editors and publishers but today takes the cake. I got into contact with an editor a couple days ago and she refused to even look at my work. Usually they'll accept your pages and never contact you again or tell you it's not what they're looking for. It's the first time I was barred from even showing my stuff to someone. They probably looked my name up and upon realizing I have no social media presence whatsoever didn't even bother with the actual work. Not to toot my own horn but at least visually my stuff is better than 90% of the alternative comics they print. Feels pretty miserable to not even get the chance of having your material rejected.
No.311807
>>311805Sounds like job hunting only in this case the rejection is even more personal, which sucks.
Have you tried going independent and building a following that way?
Apparently a lot of cartoonist are turning to twitter and webtoons but I don't understand how they monitizes.
I know most older school cartoonist have their own websites too, but the way the web is now such sites probably get almost no traffic.
I don't really have any real advice, at least none from experience.
I just wish you luck and hope someone that matters sees value in your craft.
No.311809
>>311807Not that poster, but it's clear as crystal it can't be monetized that way. You can't have a twitter or social media following without being published first. It's a catch 22.

>>311838I did have a twitter for 3 years or so and in that time I amassed around 250 followers, about 30 of them obvious bots and who knows how many fake accounts. It's quite a task to churn out content to keep up with your social media shit and like I said I never saw any quantifiable return for it. It feels like chasing a ghost, it's a very elusive process. You get 1k likes in one picture and none in another. Producing content for social media is a scam if you ask me, it's just yet another way to work for free.
>>311819AI is completely irrelevant. Cartooning in this day and age is a personality cult. People purchasing lots of comics are buying it because they like the author (the person, not the work) or believe in whatever they think the author stands for. The quality of the artwork is also mostly irrelevant. Many cartoonists nowadays spend more time in podcasts and talking garbage at snippet interviews on instagram than actually producing content. I've also noticed they got considerably more attractive over the years. There's no way a clunker like Wally Wood would've made it today. In fact many of those older guys are now cancelled for being toxic or whatever.
