There's a lot of people here from 4chan, so I figured it would be good to have a thread to inform them about aspects of the site, both as a format and as a culture, that they might not be aware of. Some of these are going to be useful tips, others are just fun bits of trivia. If you have any of these of your own, please feel free to contribute.

Did some basic calculations and realized if I ever wanted to switch to an image tagging software I'd need to spend around half a year tagging if I wanted to go through all my various strewn about images...

How do people use that software, or did you guys all just start using it before your collection grew too big?

I use this model when doing AI tagging stuff to test out prompts. It's quite remarkable as it even does a pretty strong job of identifying popular characters. I think it's probably overboard when it comes to how many tags it can produce, however, as I'm not sure how often people specifically want to categorize something like "collarbone".

Why is it that every service experiences activity drops at night?
China, India and Indonesia are all in Asian time zones when North America and EU are mostly asleep. Yet Steam, a largely international platform experiences usercount drops when these high-population countries are awake?

OP, i think you got this entirely backwards.

You're looking at 04:00 UTC, but in china, indonesia, and india, this would be around 09:30 - 12:00 local time, a time when most of these would be at work or on other day activities.
A more correct time to look at would be when these groups are actually free and at home, I.E. in the afternoon/evening in their own timezone. And 13:00 UTC would be around 18:30 - 21:00 in their local time, a time when most of these groups have probably gotten home and able to play games.
13:00 UTC is also about 08:00 in CST, a time when most americans have just woken up for work, and 14:00 in CET, and time when europeans are still at work. Few of which that are probably playing games on steam.
Yet, guess when peak steam player count happens (in UTC)?

I've taken notice of my poor health and mental faculties and I think that my diagnosis is I need more sleep. The issue with this is that I don't know how to sleep early or long and my brain resists the urge to give up precious time to be doing other things besides lying still. How do you convince yourself to sleep?

How is your sleep hygiene?
https://www.checkli.com/checklists/guest_view/681b63c171238
My score is at 14/20.
I think I usually sleep pretty well, just at the wrong times.
What helped me most with my sleep was getting proper sun-blocking window covering. Without them, my room gets extremely bright sunlight in the early morning. It was kinda apparent when I noticed that I only ever slept really well in winter after I moved to this room. I'm still bad at going to bed early though...
I've recently started watching Call of the Night. Rather than encouraging me to sleep early, I now feel like going out at night... Still seems like a fun show though.

What >>153917 said.
Bedtime is the easiest time to get random intrusive or stressful thoughts. You're not preoccupied with anything so your mind wanders, and if you're stressed or worried you could easily start fixating on them. If the problem has ways of being solved, like a "social safety net" then you don't worry about it. It's just a peace of mind thing.

This Friday, May 2nd, I plan on hosting Left 4 Dead 2 for kissu, at around 7 PM EST, give or take 30 minutes. On my server there is a special plugin that lets you choose your own player model, similiar to other games such as Sven, and there are many different Touhou models to choose from. The player limit is at the maximum of 31. The server is also on an older version of L4D2, and it will be (almost) required that you use the special client that I provide (unless you absolutely know what you are doing). The client will use a revemu crack so that you don't need to own the game or have Steam or anything to play, so it is completely standalone. The links for the game download and any optional mods will be posted later as I have yet to prepare a fresh download link. I have not decided on any campaigns to do, but I may just host all the vanilla campaigns in a marathon.
This has been hosted on 4/jp/ before as well, and I may advertise it there one last time to catch any stragglers before future hosts are permanently moved.

this thread is for chinese media, entertainment, 2d cultural stuff and probably information regarding the language.

a goal is to spread interest in chinese culture and media similar to how /jp/a/ and 4chan spread interest in otaku culture. i'm pretty much the only person on earth who wants this so we'll play it by ear and see what interest others have in it.

post questions or other feelings if you feel like it. i'd prefer to not have political stuff instead focus on the 2d cultural stuff so music, donghua(anime), manhua(manga), and webnovels. other chinese stuff welcome too i guess.

How would you even decide the way you'd want to represent a well thought-out fictional world, given today's trends in how people enjoy media?
Assuming one would be willing to go as far as to make a whole videogame or some other multimedia project for it to include all kinds of visions one has for the exposition and the like, there has to be some starting point that you can put effort into the project in such a way where you'd be okay whether it'll end up as a successful blooming dark horse or some poor peculiarity that fades into obscurity as soon as it had appeared.

What would it be for a team of a single man?
Web novels, light novels, manga allow for plays of words and illustrations, but animation and sound are off limits.
Anime, VNs, and full-fledged complex games involve lots of commitment both from the creator and the connoisseur; it's generally more concentrated on binary fate of hit-or-miss and needs either crowdfunding or marketing probing to get certainty that the effortful passions and ideas will reach the people on launch.

Is the answer - a series of simpler web browser games?
A twitter account where you gradually give more and more exposition, including up to as much point as animations with sound?
A combination of the two?
I'd love to see anon's brainstorming on the matter.

Just don't suggest tiktok or youtube shorts formats; I'd genuinely rather cosplay and give pamphlet and booklet forms of works to strangers on the street instead.

I think the easiest way to start, and it's something I'm just now starting (although I'm keeping it private) is to create a glossary of characters/locations/species/etc. Before creating a physical representation of the world I think it's better to create the concept of it first. You can change and move things around while it's still in the idea phase without much effort.
It's fun to read through the glossaries of old games when they used to put a lot of time into this sort of thing.

I've done that too, but I found it easier to just go for it and start with a draft.
I fall more on the spectrum of pantser when it comes to my writing though and I don't mind writing out of order to stitch my frankendraft together at the end.
What helped me most was to just write summaries for scenes I didn't care about and found that more often than not, you can really just briefly summarise what isn't important to you and you'll naturally go into detail for what you actually care about.
At least that's how I approach drafts in plain writing, I haven't really worked much with other types of media.

I guess I'd be a Chaotic Pantser. I think it's far easier to write what you're interested in at the moment instead of forcefully working in order. I guess there could be a problem with having a growing hole in the story/world somewhere, but that might be easier to work with once you have so much else built up. Writing in chronological order seems so exhausting and what if you decide to change something? You'd have to re-write so many things and probably forget other stuff.

I had read all the suggestions, but I don't have anything in particular to answer with for now, other than thanks!
For now, I have concluded that, for core content, spreading it over self-contained mobile-compatible free browser games hosted on itch.io has the most of potential. Posting on Twitter would be mostly for side fluff and sustained activity advertising. Some custom site would be more of an additional accessible structured presentation between the two extremes.

>>152856
Chaotic planster is me... Specific scenes are the core data points I ended up with after daydreaming about my stuff, the .zip archive kind that I can easily extrapolate back from whenever I need.
I love your image, because it gives good approaches I wouldn't really think about.

>>152822
I'd probably make an encyclopedia of entries with reference sheets, because I don't invent stuff that'd be easy to contain in words. Good idea nevertheless!

>>152219
I had read The War of Art recently, and, while don't agree fully with the book handles itself, it had an important point that you either commit yourself to out-pro'ing the pros, or you risk staying behind with what's both out of touch with yourself and other people. It helps that I enjoy competition over the things I like, or at least I love-hate it.
