Have you done anything to change your hikikomori ways recently?
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.Favorite RPG Roles

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?chinese media/sino/中国万岁

What are some essentials we'd need to make the /qa/ mansion? Personally, I'm leaning towards a farm plot at the very least for self-sufficiency. With a chicken pen too and maybe more animals but definitely chickens because we ALL need eggs. Maybe some moo cows too for milk. But above all, we need very fluffy and soft beds for good sleep everynight./qa/ music creation thread
i've seen dedicated drawthreads and writethreads here, but never once saw a music creation thread. considering you can post sound files here i wonder why it happens, because i did see several posters here said they made music. is it because many consider the stuffs they make have no merit to be posted? or because many have some musician profiles that they want no connection to this place...?Kissu and Hikari3 friendship!

I don't know if this really can develop into a full thread, but I wanted to share the secret to great stream popcorn that I found recently and didn't really think it fit any thread. I got pure coconut oil with beta carotine and some flavacol melted and mixed into a kettle/pan and I add some popcorn kernels then heat it up. Produces a shitload of movie theater quality or better popcorn for less than it'd cost you to get a microwave pack. Absolutely love it and recommend anyone who likes popcorn try it out too.Altchan Infographic
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.Kissu Shops & Thrifts

When you don't go outside it's easy to forget the basic hygiene you practice since much of the motivation for taking care of yourself can be perceived as a social thing. However some things are important to do even if you're not going outside for the sake of your long term health! Like brushing your teeth and flossing to keep them clean of plaque leads to healthier gums and reduced risk of brain disease! If you haven't brushed yet go do it!Media News Thread

How would you rate each game based purely on their music? Side-games included. Personally, I'm of the opinion that there's not a truly "bad" soundtrack out of the lot, only mediocre ones at worst. I'd say my only particularly controversial takes are not rating EoSD and MS that highly, and putting DDC and LoLK near the top. Also, I wouldn't call myself a "Touhou is reclining" doomer, but I do think the two latest releases were disappointing on most levels, including music. Still hopeful for TH20 though!....zenless zone?

Names are a funny thing. They’re just words, sometimes with no meaning behind them, yet convey so much importance in how we refer to ourselves and others. In fact remembering them is oftentimes seen as common decency. Or in the case of referencing media, crucial towards singling out characters.A David Lynch Retrospective Stream
Since someone posed the idea to me after the Lost Highway stream, and I liked the idea myself, I'll be holding more streams on the rest of David Lynch's films until we've made it through them all. I've got no set time for any of this and when I start will be based on a whim, but I'll make sure to give at least 2 days notice for anything I do decide to stream.streaming karekano april 6th
A clip got recommended to me on youtube and reminded me that I absolutely love this anime. In terms of the typical shoujo today despite its influence I'd say it still stands out, and Anno's influence on the presentation through his direction (before the budget kinda goes kaput like EVA near the end) is strikingly impactful in conveying the mood of each scene and allowing the highs to reach further than manga ever could. Miyazawa's probably still my favorite Shoujo protagonist of any romance series, her smarts and unbreakable character make her extremely endearing to watch as situations arise throughout her and Arima's school life as a result of their relationship. It's a great exploration of two quite different characters who take interest with and build each other up as they go about life and maturing.Medalist Subtitles Project

I thought you were meant to look down on long-term lurkers for being pathetic cowards and freeloaders, but as the “lurk moar” meme has been taken more and more seriously, it seems people have come to see lurking for months or even years before posting anything as an integral part of board culture. I couldn't disagree with that idea more. It goes against the spontaneity that makes the internet fun. For most communities, if you can't get along with it after a few days using it, you should just leave it alone, rather than stalking it until you can pretend to fit in. And I enjoy seeing people share their first reactions to a forum or board, before gradually becoming more seasoned posters over time. It's refreshing.Tomorrow Resolutions

Words of "native" or "germanic" origin in Modern English that start with a "g" all use the hard-g sound as in "gift". While "foreign" words of "latin" origin use the soft-g as in "giraffe". The debate between "gif" or "jif" should be seen as an extension of the French linguistic imperialism, imposed upon the common English people since 1066.KISSU SEASONAL STREAM 2025

Which side does /qa/ take? Obviously pixiv would probably be better for searching (although boorus are even more preferable for that) and viewing a long list of art at once. However, in recent days I've been using twitter's feed more and I think that in terms of discovering new artists and likewise finding interesting stuff from people you haven't already followed it's a lot more convenient. Also the previews are a lot easier to see. So in terms of finding content, which do you think makes for the better go-to feed?US Doujin Site Seized by Feds

From pointy sticks to plasma cannons, what are you favorite weapons in real life or fantasy? Weapons are more than just implements of destruction, they represent the culture and time period around them, and many cultures find certain types to be sacred or at least ceremonial. In fantasy they can similarly be an important part of worldbuilding, or more importantly just be really cool. Even wizards often need a good item in their hand to cast their magic.Anime Streaming Sites and C&D
Aniwave, formerly 9anime, is dead among many others killed by a big C&D wave by corporate media fags who have been getting really aggressive with their attacks recently. It's causing a lot of paranoia. Sucks since they had a really nice UI and I liked episode comments.Lazy Food Procuring
This year was the first time I ordered groceries online and had it delivered to the door. It's really weird and feels futuristic. It's not good for everything, such as wanting to actually look at raw vegetables or just browsing, but it's really nice. I even ordered some frozen yogurt to see what would happen and it came in some layered cardboard pouch thing that did a great job of keeping it cool. There's also subscription options so it happens automatically, but I think I'm going to hold off on doing that for now. I've also started ordering some bulk cereal and protein bars on amazon and it seems pretty efficient. I think I'm going to look up to see if Costco supports this stuff.Kaiji Stream

I think in comparison to the upcoming Factorio expansion it should be a nice relaxing intermission people will enjoy. Also it's on sale right now so if anyone's interested I can buy it for them ( https://steamcommunity.com/chat/invite/NUIbnP7U )Horror of the Incomprehensible
Watching the most recent episode of Madome and within it there was a botched demon summoning that took place. Unlike the typical fantasy demons though the world in this treats them as beings on the opposite spectrum of gods, so for the MC being faced with just a botched fragment of the insurmountable being felt completely hopeless. Though a convenient plot thing happened that allowed the issue to go away, it did well at showing the sheer scale of power displayed by the demon fragment. It got me wondering, what are some good examples of media /qa/ knows that tackle this lovecraftian feel properly? It seems difficult for most authors to really present to their audience creatures whose scale is just infinitely above what can possibly be defeated in traditional manners.The problem with imageboard culture
Is that you aren't encouraged to contribute and make well written posts on the ones that move too fast. It's easier to just be a shitposting moron since it might feel like trying to contribute doesn't pay off due to everything archiving quickly. This is why 4chan is so low quality in general, and this is exacerbated even more by the fact that everyone sees it as a site where you can be retarded/controversial without any repercussions due to anonymity. The result is a very negative and 'toxic' environment which is likely bad for your mental health. However, 4/qa/ during our time went against this culture. If your thread was good we would try to keep it alive as long as possible through constant bumps and bumpbots. This in turn encouraged users to be less negative and try to contribute more towards its culture. 4/qa/ as its 2D/Random incarnation was really a community effort unlike anything ever seen on 4chan before. We did not rely on the staff to do anything for ourselves, we self-moderated. But of course, good things aren't allowed to exist on modern 4chan, so they were against this concept and tried to impose as many restrictions on the board as possible to counter that until everyone got fed up and left. I bet they weren't expecting for something even worse to take our place though.Counting!
The most fundamental and useful math skill know, we do it every day (Hopefully)! /qa/ does know how to count, right? What about efficiently? Is there any base that /qa/ is particularly fond of counting in?Emotes and Streams
Are emotes a good form of casual engagement for streams that can quickly convey an emotion like a 'heh' or similar while also being visually witty and somewhat encompassing the history of the stream as well in what content it shows? I think they probably are more a benefit than a drain like people commonly think them to be on a stream's atmosphere but that's assuming a culture where they're used in conjunction with regular posts and not just the entirety of all posts. Do you agree and what kind of emotes could we potentially add to the kissu stream if so? I think that probably a good way to start would be maybe a site like banners, where the emote size has to fit within a certain limit because all the cytube streams I've seen where you have stuff taking up over half the screen is pretty annoying.Best time to build a PC?
