After truck'ing the gods give you another shot at life in an isekai world. It's time to make your start in a new life, /qa/. What kind of character are you willing yourself to spawn in as?

For me, my usual preference is female elf wizard loli, or skelly necromancer if I can.

Holiest theomancy paladin saint loli.
If not, then eldritch horror black goo biomass that is primarily loli in form.
If not, then cutting edge magitech golem loli.

There's never a guarantee that the isekai world will have a deep magic system I could exploit and customize, so I'll stick to the things that will be most fun in whatever scenario.
I'm easy to manipulate because I have susceptibility to seduction, masculine competition challenges, and similar kinds of manipulation, but becoming a loli would mean I could slaughter away without worrying about anything pointless like that.

In addition to a personal army one could also raise a bunch of zombie girls, and go crazy on playing dress up. Get into costume design and maybe learn some tailoring yourself for the sake of it, just to make your collection of corpses look great!

Whether people would think my actions immoral or evil or not, they would all have to agree that my jiangshi entourage is the cutest thing they've ever seen when I'd visit a town with it.

Yeah it'd have to be a necromancer

Stuff anything that would attract bugs (anything food has touched) into sealed containers like bottles, and don't bother cleaning up anything else. We're all going to die eventually so if you have three years of garbage piled up in your house that's three years of cleaning you never had to do.

If you buy flour, rice, and pasta, store those bags in a freezer for a month before putting them into jars and other containers. You DO NOT want to get a flour bug infestation because a few eggs slipped through. Freezing them will break the life cycle of any eggs or larva in your food.
Keep trash bins ideally in every room. Convenience helps keep waste from piling on your work areas.
If you have a habit of drinking soda and not finishing them, make a habit of carrying them out of the room and dumping them into sinks.
Keep a recycle bucket in your main dwelling area for them too and get a habit of pitching them as soon as you're done. Bottles can be flattened to make efficient space.
For laundry I'd suggest two baskets. One basket for dirty clothes and another for clean. If you don't have a habit of putting the clean clothes away as soon as you're done then it's good to have a second basket so you're not piling dirty clothes up on the floor. If you want a good incentive then know that brown recluses like clothing piles, so watch out if you live in their range.

I mostly just want stuff to be hygienic, which generally means clean. When it comes to organization, though, I'm really awful at it and over time entropy really takes over. Keeping things orderly just takes too much work. "Oh, this is A so it needs to go in Drawer C, or was that Drawer D?" blahblahblah.
Clean chaos, yeah, that works.

I like to let my room messy until it reaches a critical point of clutter, then I clean up because the feeling of cleaning up a filthy space is satisfying. I don't mean clutter as in piss bottles and empty pizza boxes though, I'm not THAT messy. But just enough that you would say "yeah time to tiddy up".

I treat cleaning like it's gameplay of an action game, both in tactics and in strategy. I mean example would be light-light-medium-light-heavy combos of cleaning across the days, the type is either like lazy jabs or full on combos or extra stages where I have to clean a greasy plate as the special finisher, for the day.
Admittedly my hallway, clothes, teas, and supplements shelves are disorganized completely all the time. Half of my large bed is just freshly dried washed towels and clothes.

How's public transport around your area? We've talked about it before several times but it was more about theory/principles rather than the tangible state of affairs.

Recently a globetrotter train ota came by and his blogging did some bazuru locally, which I found fairly fun to read. His sasuga over old Toshiba-kun still working, saying a stop is otogibanashi no you na, his empanada food blog, and the comparisons he makes to other countries or the stuff he points out, very neat. You can read it here:
https://nitter.poast.org/taisetsukuzure (he's getting accosted)
There's a noticeable difference between the 80s Japanese cars and the modern Chinese ones, not just that each has its own runic inscriptions but that there's a tech difference of thirty years, like the fancy rail line map with lights, or Nagoya 5000's having a degree of asbestos. There's a ton of different batches operated concurrently, it's all over the place and a major pain in the ass financially and technically:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buenos_Aires_Underground_rolling_stock
A subway line I usually take runs Mitsubishi Eidan alongside Spanish CAF 6000, and the most prominent difference for me is that the latter's seating consists groups of four inward plastic seats while the former has the usual long line of a single padded seat running across the side of the car that I find far more comfortable. Spanish ones also have funny doors that you have to open manually and individually by pulling a mini lever rather than all opening when stopping. It seems to be suited to something for fewer people to take compared to the typical crowded image of Japanese transport.

Stations likewise come in all shapes and sizes, like pic which is the one Taisetsu-san really liked from La Plata. Subway lines can have large tunnel walkways connecting each other and mini-malls, or even a genuinely connecting to an actual mall, and a lot of murals and paintings, very cool stuff. Though the smell can be horrible.

Octopus card is funny sounding

 No.150234

Tokyo rail network is extensive but handled by multiple companies, with checkpoint between them for switching train without leaving the station. Would be a major pain to do fares if not for the contactless ic cards.
Also heard that Japanese trains would often separate mid route for different destination.
Only rode shuttle buses in Narita airport and they are awfully slow, with driver himself announcing every operation of the vehicle. I imagine other buses in the city are the same.

Green minibuses are nothing. Try the red one at night.
Also Octopus card was very good, never knew I would miss its ability to go negative value til my pasmo card become one(1) yen short.

Trying to retrace the lessons I learned as a child as an adult is really annoying and there doesn't seem to be much out there in terms of easy to find resources for it like there are with math & science. Does anyone else have this problem or am I the only tard here.

You could check out this:
https://hyperbolit.com/2020/07/04/how-to-write-literary-analysis-well-its-not-as-hard-as-you-may-think/
You don't need to know every term or read the entirety of the example poem to get the gist of it.
I think as long as you know what a metaphor is and are familiar with basic symbolism within a culture (e. g. lilies mean lesbians when you watch yuri anime) you've got the most important basics down. Everything else comes down to what kind of media you want to analyse. (You probably won't need to know about cadence and meters outside of poetry.)
You could try to read through every literary device on this list https://literarydevices.net/ but I wouldn't recommend it. It's kinda tedious and if the devices lack context that's interesting to you, the information probably won't stick.
I don't need to know what the word alliteration means to think that it's funny that every character in OreGairu has their first and last name starting with the same letter, but it's faster and fancier (and maybe funnier) to say "alliteration names".
Often enough, historical and cultural contexts are more important to really understand a piece of fiction.
Like, it's a lot easier to understand what's going on in the anime Yuri Kuma Arashi when you understand that in the story, the space bears who cross the invisible wall and disguise themselves as humans to eat humans actually represent sexually active lesbians that want to have sex with women which is seen as inherently predatory by a system of enforced norms that ostracises them (invisible wall). Not all stories are so steeped in symbolism that they become incoherent if you lack the cultural context, but they're out there and not even that rare in spirit if you consider that memes are also hard to understand without context (I don't actually want to explain skibidi to my mum though).
Anyway, I think it can't hurt to critically engage with works you love and gain more understanding of literary analysis over the course of that.
If you want to go into writing, there are tons of resources and writing courses out there too although there are things to look out for there as well ( Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

I think that'll get easier over time though, just like when you're learning a language. When I learnt English, words like "penultimate" never really came up in the beginning and I didn't need them either. When I did, I just looked them up and that was that, it's part of my vocabulary now

Exercising and reading has been something I’ve started to do again, and I feel it’s quite improved my mental health, so too has learning to cook. Being able to relax and take your mind off of the constant noise of the online is such a refreshing experience. People say touch grass, but I think they should touch trees instead. Go to a forest and relax a little. Being outside actually does improve your health.

Does not matter if the content is good or bad, anything that is on internet devours my weekends. The only thing that works for me is unplugging the modem and removing the phone's SIM card. Then suddenly the apartment is cleaner, I have advanced more with studying, all the clothes are nicely folded and I have enough spare time to go outside.

Today was going great like that, but unfortunately I had to turn on the modem because I was missing a driver and now I have wasted 3 hours in front of the PC already.

Really, any that go along the sea, like the Enoshima line. It's also an undercarriage monorail, which is extremely rare. IIRC correctly only 4 in the world.
There's another in Chiba, as seen in the OP of hit anime OreImo.

It's very remote but the one man train along the sea near Amaharashi-Himi really captured my heart.

Yeah, /v/ is where I'd go to get a general feel of what games are out and what's popular. It's not the perfect way of doing it, but it's the way that worked best for me. Looking at a news site like gematsu every day is just exhausting and doesn't really say much about what people are enjoying. I don't even know where I'd look for news about Western (indie) games. /v/ has the numbers and variety of people of various ages to get a sense of what's happening at any moment.

id be happy if /v/ vanished and it increased traffic to /vst/, /vrpg/, and /vm/. i realized a few weeks before 4chan vanished that /v/ is full of no good posts and i only go there because rarely i see a real thread about video games. I dont mean a super on topic thread, id be happy if /v/ was even just a bunch of thinly veiled porn threads as long as they were actually posting video game characters - there are always a few of those, but its not even mainly that now. I want to believe im browsing /v/ to maybe find a new game ive not heard of but it never happens anymore, i have to browse those other boards for that.

4chan and 8chan (now 8kun) have set the standard of what to expect from an imageboard and has poisoned the public perception of what an IB is, you say imageboard or *chan and people immediately think right-wing pol-tier shithole and point to those two examples, and automatically believe any other imageboard is the same if not worse, and ends up attracting shitters by default from that reputation it has in the gestalt.

While it would be harder to find the various resources that can be richly found on 4chan, say the stickies on /ic/ for example on any other altchan, I don't think it would be a complete tragedy and eventually the community would be able to pick up the slack and set themselves up elsewhere and gain popularity overtime.

A few months ago I was talking about altchans on /a/ and realized a big stumbling block for people is that the lists of sites that get posted around contain too many sites with not enough details and people tend to give up after the fifth or sixth utterly dead/meme shitposting site they click through. I'm hitting myself for being lazy and not making a better guide before this, but with 4chan still down I imagine it would still be good to have something easy to pass around to help the flood of refugees as we approach the weekend.

I tried to cover the issues I've seen people be most interested in across the various 4chan down threads. Activity, especially in regards to specific hobbies, is probably the biggest, but a familiar UI, easy browsing of different boards/sites, and file support have all come up. I focused mostly on relevant topics to the /a/jp/ sphere here since that's what I'm more familiar with, but I'm open to suggestions on what to put in here. I think zzz, 8, 7, and sushi could fit on here too for vidya and broader topic selections. Please correct me if anything is wrong, a fair bit has to be derived from cursory inspection.

Regarding activity levels, I'm imagining 4chan as the 10/10 max level for everything so it's kind of a log scale so everything else isn't all a 1 in comparison. Basically, green means there's fresh discussion of a topic multiple times a day, yellow means once every day or three something gets kicked up about it, and red means it still lacks the critical mass to maintain regular discussion.

What is your opinion on the kuudere archetype? I'm personally attracted to them because they're similar to myself. Kuuderes are a big 'gap moe' thing. The smile of someone who doesn't smile much means a lot more than the smile of someone who smiles all the time.

Many people don't seem to realize the last two ones are kuuderes too. I don't see many people discussing archetypes these days.

There comes a time in every Onii-chan's life where he thinks about sexual relations with his imouto. He asks the question, "Should I?" or "Is it ethical?". Take some advice from best girl Kirino who says, "Yes!". Incest is always morally correct and in fact your imouto wants you right now!

That's cool and I wouldn't be able to do it, so it's effective. I can't even tell - how difficult is this captcha?

Are you asking about the one you posted? It isn't exactly difficult if you can follow instructions, but it would take a lot of time lol
