Anyone feeling different after a week without 4chan? I kinda feel a lot less stressed and aggravated and I notice myself actually wanting to do stuff.

>I feel like I'm getting out of touch with gaming news
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. Quality discussion, though, well that happens in some niches.

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. I actually believe /v/ is full of marketers now

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.

Has Kissu found any interesting stores or picked anything up recently?

If not, I highly recommend you explore your local area! I especially recommend checking out non-chain thrift stores; they often have things you won't find elsewhere because they're not as picked over. If you need to get out of the house, it can also be fun to hit up chain thrift stores -- if you go regularly, you'll eventually come across something unique or rare that catches your interest.

Comic book stores, used bookstores, and foreign retailers are also great places to visit!

If you found something you want to share that you found or purchased online, go ahead!

Estate sales let you take out the middleman. It's how my sister furnished her apartment with real furniture instead of cheap plastic crap. The main issue is that you need to be ready to hit them at any moment, including at 6AM or the very second you hear of it so it's a very hectic way of doing things.

It’s pretty much furniture stores when I look those up. I know stores that sell anime figures in my area, but I tend to find them overpriced. The only thing I would consider buying from those are anime keychains and acrylic stands since it’s not worth the price to import those. But then again, I did spend like 60 to import a coaster and 80 for a Dark Magician Girl card. The only thrift stores I shop at are book stores.

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.

Sometimes it’s beneficial to be able to come out and communicate a bit. For example, just today I held back vomiting when approaching a neighbor about picking up some brush on her curb. And she said it was fine to take! So I got myself a shitload of good firewood for no cost at all.

Now you may be thinking to yourself, “That’s impossible! I can’t do that!”, but trust me, you can. It’s pretty easy too, only took me a bit over a month to work up the resolve to ask!

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.

Public transport in Hong Kong is really good, so I'd like to talk about it!

The primary way of getting around is the MTR, which is our metro/subway system. Stations are dotted around the city and that makes getting around really fast (assuming where you want is near a station). The MTR Corporation owns a lot of the land around their stations, which means they make money from renting out places and that keeps the cost of tickets down.
It doesn't serve the entire city, but if you're on the north part of Hong Kong island, most of Kowloon, and certain areas of the New Territories, there should be a station not too far away. Most trips will be <$15 (about $1.90 in US dollars), if that.

Busses are a good alternative if your departure/destination isn't served by the MTR, and sometimes they can be more convenient for some trips. They're double-deckers and air conditioned, and usually arrive every 5 or 10 minutes. In rush hour, if they're full they will just skip your stop... Busses have a flat fee, depending on the route. I think I pay around $8 or $12 usually.
There are also the green minibuses, which serve even more niche areas. The drivers go really fast and play fast and loose with the stops. You need to yell in Cantonese for them to stop. I'm too afraid to use them.

The northern part of Hong Kong Island is served by the Hong Kong Tramway, which is an old-timey double-decker tram. It's pretty slow but it's only $3 ($2 if you pay with a Visa card). Great if you're not in a hurry and it serves some destinations better. It's also fun to ride and take in the views.

There are also some ferry services, which serve the outlying islands and let you cross Victoria Harbour. The Star Ferry is the most famous

You can pay for everything using an Octopus Card, which is a contactless smart card that you use to pay for basically everything here.

I used to live in a small city in England served by a really crappy, expensive bus network so experiencing the polar opposite after moving has been Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

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.
>>149909
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. If HKer didn't rightfully give up after '97 it would not be cannibalized by unreliable QR code reliant, slow network chink network payment system for over nearly three decade.

Shuffle! is the only one I've seen that surpasses its source material.
The Galaxy Angel anime is great too but it's so different from the VN that it barely counts.

I didn't read a lot of VNs but anime adaptations never appealed to me. The only one I watched until the end was the Planetarian one. It was fine but I still preferred the VN.

There's just too much lost in adaptation. They're better watched after reading the source material.

Amagami and Clannad work well in my opinion for adaptations of route based VNs and they both do it in the exact opposite ways. Amagami uses about 4 episodes for each girl's route, and Clannad mainly uses Nagisa's route as the through line for the entire show with plot points taken from the other routes and adapted into the story. The pros of the Amagami style is allowing each girl their own time to shine with the MC within their own episodes and their own conclusions. With Clannad we get the experience the main ideas and themes wrapped around one romance, but still get the experiences of the other routes without disrupting that.
