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.

I do often wonder sometimes how much of the "tfw no gf" stuff is performative and how much is me just differing from the norm. I can understand loneliness from a having nobody to communicate with perspective, and I can understand lust from a wanting to jerk off perspective, but something I think I've never come to understand has been the romantic need perspective. I've considered the prospect of having a partner before and determined it's too much devoting myself to another person for me to want to engage in that aspect of life, and even then for the most part I have hard times envisioning myself with anyone in real life and most of my fantasies have involved some sort of conquest partnership with my waifu. Likewise I'm able to appreciate and enjoy romance anime for what they are and passionately root for and feel happiness about the cute couples in them without feeling any envy or bitterness myself, while I see others all the time talking about how watching those anime opens up a hole of despair in their hearts. All I want out of life is to be able to enjoy myself and appreciate the art and media other people create, with my only real desire being to create some game or story of my own one day.

When I think about this topic, it always reminds me of prior conversations we'd have in the past about failed norms vs true sages. But then there's been plenty of stuff I've seen strewn about the internet about "epidemics" of people without love and how it's a big social issue or whatnot. It's just that not feeling those supposed pangs of desire myself makes it hard to believe this stuff actually exists, or if it does is that big of an issue to people.

That's some next level pessimism that looks at a world with 8 billion people and average life expectancies in the 80s and decides it's so likely that all of your offspring will die without children that it's not even worth attempting.

And now you're setting up a system where you will never be satisfied. If she doesn't stay with you forever then she's a whore not worth your time and if she does stay with you she's just prolonging your misery. Generalizations.

I was asking what specific... techniques you were employing when dealing with "normal" people. Your answer about the books gives some hints already, though, especially the 48 Laws of Power one, I need to reread it.

Pessimism? If you want to be a parent then go ahead, I'm not an anti-natalist. Perhaps the tone of my previous post may have been too confrontational, so I want to clarify that I'm attacking the cancerous idea that people should have children for any reason other than a desire to be parents. First, your sense of fulfillment is reliant on someone else, who must not be taken for granted, as I pointed out in my post. Second, if you're not fit to be a parent, you'll cause long-term misery for another person just to satisfy your own pride. Do not reproduce out of sheer societal pressure.

Do you have any experience gardening?
I decided that I'm going to attempt gardening this year. My dad grew up on a farm and we had crops in the backyard when I was a kid. I still have the old tilling machine that's in good shape and some other rusty tools, but I don't have a hammer to mine silver from nearby rocks so I won't be able to upgrade the stuff.
I think it's too late for my geographic location to start growing early Spring stuff from seeds, so I need to buy some that are already a few weeks old from a local nursery, or maybe online? This stuff sounds kind of fun as long as your expectations are reasonable.

You'll need a huge container for potatoes, at least in an effective way. Carrots, sure, they're very compact, you just need to make sure to give them enough room to grow downward and keep the soil loose with the container-only things like perlite or coconut coir. Root vegetables work very well inside containers. I grew turnips in one a couple years ago.

>>153790
Looks good! I can't seem to use that finer mulch stuff you have there due to Spring localized flooding transporting it away. I don't know what the solution would be apart from giant containers.

As for me, today I had to "hill" the potatoes. You basically just bury them in dirt halfway and this is supposed to encourage them to grow more tubers. This is the 'before'....

i only use tagging for booru images and i always save all tags when i save these images
there are some auto taggers that you can use for anime style images not from boorus like https://github.com/neggles/wdv3-timm but that won't recognize artists or new characters
for general images it's not worth tagging since there aren't auto tagging for them, though they can be captioned by one of the many vision language models out there

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".

I don't really know where else to post this, seeing as /maho/ seems to be more about personal computers.
Perhaps we can get a general video tape thread going, just in case there's anything you'd like to share: Tape-only anime; VHS-rips of official releases or old TV broadcasts; general tech discussion.

But the reason I'm making this thread in the first place: Would anyone here happen to be experienced with multi-standard / worldwide video VCRs that can play absolutely anything?
I got my hands on a Famicom that only features RF output and, due to brain damage, I'd prefer to use that one over an AV alternative. The problem is that I'm in a PAL region and I was told that, to make the thing work on my own TV, I would need to route it through a multi-system VCR that is able to properly convert the signal into one that my PAL TV can display correctly. This would be the perfect solution for me as I always wanted to own a multi-system anyway, but I lack the experience necessary to not accidentally shell out a lot of money for the wrong device. Apparently, not all multi-systems are "true" multi-standard / some don't actually "convert" the signal and I'm too stupid to know what to look out for in this regard. I read that you're supposed to look out for units that demand 100 - 240V AC on the back, but I'm unsure if that's the whole trick already.

Feel free to ignore the question and just post anything VHS-related.

Some of the worst memories I have of VHS is watching all of Evangelion in bootleg LP tapes. Retail tapes being already crap + quality degradation from copying + Lowering the quality to fit 6 hours in a 3 hour tape = Hell.

I don't have any experience with the stuff, really. I mean, I'm old enough to have recorded Pokemon and Sailor Moon on VCRs from local TV stations, but that's about how far I went into them.
I find the history behind the fansubbing community that had those big bulky machines and set up meetings and catalogs to sell them back in day very interesting. I deeply respect those nerds that laid the foundation for other people (and companies) to discover and bring more anime out West and they really deserve far more recognition than they get.

I want to nakadashi *girl* has become a popular phrase on imageboards (mostly 4chan). But it's a mix of Japanese and English. If I was going to say "I want to cum inside Holo" fully in Japanese, how would I go about doing that? In the English sentence, nakadashi is a loan word and it is the action being done, but in Japanese I don't think 中出し is a verb. Can it be verbified by adding する to it? And then you conjugate it to say you "want" to do it. So the end result would be 私はホロで中出ししたい which would translate to I want to cum inside Holo. Am I correct?

Japanese is fun to learn.

technically, yes, but there are a lot of publications that by "radical" mean "basic codified grapheme"
in the context of this conversation, 曾 was originally a visual representation of a basket, as you can see here and here, showing a square body with two straps, but this was later segmented and simplified and nowadays 曽 looks closer to 日+田, it would not be unreasonable to call them its radicals
indeed if you look at kanjipedia's entry, its 部首 is said to be 曰 (not 日), even though this is also ultimately ahistorical and not particularly useful today, humanum is more accurate in listing 曾 as itself being its sole unique component, but you're not going to find it as such in any kangxi-based dictionary

Meaning time to create a new plan that can get me to a JLPT4 standard. One with like no theoretical learning.
Core 2000 part 3 is supposed to be the most complicated words in the set. I remember getting stumped on some of them in the past. But overall, just switch to reading and pulling out important words from literature and media. Then doing vocabulary memorization of those
