Find it interesting how people itt think frontpage culture is a thing.

4chan has been a thread-level platform for almost 10 years now. Moderation doesn't go that deep yeah, but there's practically no board out there that isn't a collection of microcommunities that hang around one or maybe two threads.

I like this aprils fools, the shakeup makes all these communities mix up and I enjoy seeing them discover places of 4chan they didn't know existed. Many a crossposter will be born this day.

I didn’t realize how intensive it is to cut down trees with an axe. Was doing it on a small dead one out in the yard and whacked it until I tired myself out and was only halfway through. Old lumberjack’s must’ve been fucking ripped to do this on multiple large trees back in the day.

 No.141436

>>141428
I guess it depends on the tree and how well maintained your axe is. Something like pine is easier vs a hardwood tree. There's probably also some technique involved with how you swing, I imagine cutting with a slight angle down to engage with the grains is a lot better at removing material than chopping straight on.

I've been quite bored recently and would like to play through some classic games that I haven't tried, with Final Fantasy being the first. However there are many games and I don't know where to start. I recieved some advice last year which suggested starting with 1, 5 or 10 - but 5 is apparently offputting due to being too lighthearted - and focusing on 6, 7 and 10 apart from that. 8 is also apparently quite good but very weird.

 No.141397

>>141394
Story-wise they're all isolated from each other, so that's not an issue. You should probably see if you can "tolerate" something like Final Fantasy 4 with its pixel graphics. If you can't, then move on to 7. If you can, but you find the story uninteresting, then try 6.
Never played the NES stuff apart from 1 very briefly.

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!

But in the context of NHK where the protagonist collects cash from his parents and watches all of his friend circle and their dreams fall apart... the idea is that having their financial needs fulfilled doesn't mean that things are solved.

 No.141346

actually, the more I think about it. NHKs message is that people's fulfillment isn't tied to their ability to earn money. The pyramid scheme arc reminds me of this messaging. You can debate if the arc was a happy end or not, but what I agree with from the author is that the happy end was not about the money

Went out and got myself a nice splitting log for the wood. Now all that’s left is for it to dry. In the meantime asked a landscaping friend of my father about some dead trees on a property they have. So should still be able to use it this year.

Feels kinda nice getting materials for my own BBQ. Though not sure I’ll go the extra mile to get a cow to butcher because I’m not too into killing animals. Would rather just get my meat from a butcher.

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.

Going to Japan this summer, and I really want to avoid sticking out as some obnoxious foreigner. I was wondering if there's any helpful tips for how to conduct oneself or what'd really stick out to wear around so I can avoid packing it. It seems like a country that's pretty tolerant so it's not like I'll get beat up for just being a normal tourist, but I also don't want to come off as some unkempt freak who gets judged everywhere I go. To maximize my enjoyment of the trip I've been looking to find out what is and isn't acceptable and what's social faux pas or things to avoid.

For example, I was reading up on Japanese law recently and learned that under Act No. 52 of 1999 it's actually illegal to buy JCs off the streets. Which is just an important reminder to /qajp/ that you should always check the laws of where you're going to!

Sounds like some sort of super ticket thing?
Convenience and peace of mind. If there's one super ticket you can buy to ensure a safe, uneventful trip then I can see people jumping on it instead of dealing with a dozen different tickets with a dozen different points of failure in a country of strangers where there is very likely a language barrier. Vacations are luxuries after all, so removing a point of potentially mind-breaking stress is something I would personally buy if I ever found myself in such a position. Although I don't think people with that level of anxiety would travel, so who knows. Just convenience for retirees and stuff then?

we're talking like 25k¥ vs 50k¥ though. The values I posted of 585$ were if I also included occasional VIP travel. I guess it's good to not have to use the machines though or figure that stuff out. I guess it's a cheaper alternative to having to work the ticket machines and hope they have an english language button(seems like most do)

This video was cool. It's interesting to see that performance gap between stone and wooden tools and metal tools isn't as big as media makes it out to be. There's also a surprising level of craftsmanship and technical knowledge going into making these tools, like spears using the trunk end of a tree as the main point as the wood there is harder, or knapping techniques to strike off the exact shapes they need.

I've gotten into collecting encyclopedias and reference sets. With how suggestible LLMs are, I'm wary of the truth of things becoming increasingly murky and want to have something I can rely on as being authoritative and truthful. I've gotten quite a few so far. The plan is to digitize all of them into searchable PDFs so that I can essentially have one big reference set, encompassing multiple viewpoints. Having one of those RAG LLMs that can only pull info from files might also be neat.

My collection currently consists of:
- Encyclopedia Britannica (1989)
- Collier's Encyclopedia (1965)
- Funk & Wagnall's Encyclopedia (1989)
- The Volume Library (1911)
- World Book Encyclopedia (1963)
- World Book Encyclopedia (1976)

I'd like to be able to get a few more. The one's I'm looking at adding to the collection are:
- The Volume Library (~1960 - 2010)
- The Young Students Encyclopedia (1985)
- World Book Encyclopedia (1940)
- World Book Encyclopedia (2017)

hmmm well one problem with this is that you'll have a lot of decades-old outdated information
in particular one topic i'm investigating was famously covered quite badly by encyclopedias in the past, and tons of books and papers from the last thirty years have had to argue against the popular conception that's come down from 18th-19th century myths which are still treated as fact outside of specialized literature
i think it's a solid idea but you should definitely watch out, especially with those that are more than 4-5 decades old

>you'll have a lot of decades-old outdated information
That's certainly true, but it's also desirable in some circumstances. For example, an encyclopedia from 1989 is in theory going to have more information on the Soviet Union than an encyclopedia from the last 20 years simply by virtue of the Soviet Union being extant at the time of writing. I also think it's desirable to have viewpoints across time as a reference for how understandings may have changed.

Japan's been going through a sorta mini-remake era, but they're not really all that popular compared to what's actually mainstream so I think it's sorta fine. Only issue is when you stop with new ideas completely like Hollywood sorta did, but with the LN and manga industry still going strong Japan probably won't suffer the same fate.

Although I have to say it's a bit disappointing that none of the remakes that I've seen so far have really completely transformed their initial iteration. Mostly just shiny coats of paint on an old IP. Which I guess is better than bastardization but wouldn't be bad to have a The Thing or two.

BYE BYE EARTH SEASON TWO, BABY! I wonder if it will have more than 10 episodes this time. First season was great. Unique show with fantastic style and one of the best soundtracks of recent memory.

Ohhh, Kevin Penken the MiA guy did the soundtrack. Now it makes sense.
Just downloaded the BD and it's working in surround and it's very good! Practically orgasmic when the songs climax. Such atmospheric music really immerses you in the moment and I hope kissu people give it a chance if you didn't when it aired! Go download and binge it before S2 starts!
Or if you won't, at least give this clip a chance to hear the sound design. It's just episode 1 so not a major spoiler. There's so many fantastic songs that give the show such an ethereal feel, it's truly something that everyone should hear.
It's a show with a heavy emphasis on music in the story and I suppose it makes sense to go the extra mile (or dozen) for it.
