yeah. I definitely agree but it's a huge mental hurdle to go from renting to ownership.
I have to take out debt as single sole-proprietor who only recently started making good money. And I poorly timed some other saving aspects.
So I gotta take both the mental hit and some unrealized financial loss to do it.

But the privacy is probably worth it considering the potential damages of a landlord going into your apartment, busting down your locks then potentially getting some sort of eviction or worse.
But maybe they wouldn't care because they just want your money

that's a good boss, maybe even pasted boss

I'm not judging, but what is the appeal of surrounding yourself with softcore porn? Is there anything more to it than just "different tastes for different people"?
I like to put up stuff that I personally perceive as cool, let's say cool-looking mechs for example, and think of anything potentially sexually arousing as not worth it to display. I guess I see it like putting up pictures of a sandwich, or something. Both eating sandwiches and cumming is a good feeling, but you just do it and that's it then, there is no interest to search for sandwich content on the web or hang it up on the wall, for most people at least I'd think. I do like looking at cool robots from time to time, though.
Are these asses and flat chests just your version of my cool and the fap material property just happens to be part of it?

the thrill of doing something that's not acceptable
Women are art. Art that I connect to the artist with

>>160398
>Art that I connect to the artist with
That is actually very eye-opening. People see art in different things, and two people seeing art in the same thing will recognize each other and share some type of connection. I see art in cool robots and recognize a preferred artist feeling the same in exactly how he makes his art, for you it's that artist with a different type of art.

Yeah... I feel a very strong connection with the female aesthetic. Even if it's a trap it's still fine because it has features to it.
Probably it's just rationalization for being a pervert, but it's a pretty core part of my mind that femininity is something everyone should strive for in their representations.

Bought the raws for that one manga we translated (then never did any translations ever again...)

Looking at pretty things does improve the mood.
I remember there was a study that found men became more relaxed and felt better after looking at pictures of breasts.
I certainly feel better looking at digital depictions on a screen, so I imagine the same thing is happening with having it on display. It also feels good to support the artist. Really this isn't much different from ye olden days where people would commission artists for paintings and such.

deep reading... i just like the female figure and it's interesting to build sets out of your wall... like that image that's being discussed right now it's a display of highschool styled exhibitionism. Other walls have different themes.

This sort of thing is impossible in a digital space and much less meaningless if you don't both struggle with the problem of defective reproductions and the mental-puzzle or struggle of how to present the art such that you don't get in trouble when someone sees it who isn't in the know.

like, about 4 in 20 of tapestries you buy will have an issue where there's banding. And because I don't buy these in person and can't do refunds through proxy shoppers you have to live with the idea that you're going to replace the 4/20 until you have a perfect set.

Like you might not see it very well, but the bottom right image has this dark banding.
These details and the vibrancy of the colors isn't properly picked up on camera. You very much need to see it in person to appreciate it and criticize it.

And I'll emphasize one more time... the colors are really vibrant when put onto a suede canvas. There's no better medium to appreciate it than maybe a painting portrait style reproduction in a frame. But you're spending a couple hundred dollars on an A4 sized reproduction when you could get a B2 of it and see far more details

>there was a study that found men became more relaxed and felt better after looking at pictures of breasts.
I realised this fairly recently myself. Clothed breasts are more often just nice to look at rather than sexual. I can always appreciate a patchyboobie whereas patchybutts are purely sexual and I need to be in a certain mood to really appreciate it.

>>160467
Oh wow. Feel kinda dumb. i had another look at it and these aren't defects but rather the fabric is slightly wavey creating dark lines with my room lighting.

If I shone my phone flashlight at it then it looks as it should

>>160465
>more relaxed and felt better after looking at pictures of breasts.
Not really. Something relaxing would be a drawing of a panorama or a cloudy sky or a starry sky or a coastline.
They only feed a flame.

Miko armpit noodle stopper is coming out in february next year.

>>160679
>noodle stopper
Do people actually use them to stop their noodles? I'd keep mine in a vitrine.

>>160686
I doubt it. The heat can't be good on the plastic and there is a chance the figure might drop into the noodles.

What the heck is a noodle stopper?
A strainer? A holder so it dries or cools off? HUH?
How the heck is >>160679 a functional thing in any way? Where do the noodles go?

>>160688
It's just to hold down the lid of an instant noodle container, basically just a way of marketing a paper weight without saying it's a paper weight
Most people just display them

>>160688
The figure sits on top of the cup ramen lid holding it in place, because just using your chopsticks is too dull I guess.

>>160689
>>160690
What the heck? Wow. Buying an expensive superfluous thing for the cheap I-don't-care food?
People are crazy.

>>160686
i like to keep mine sitting on my desk, i never tried with noodles (largely because i never buy the instacup kind)

Noodles need to be stopped and fast.

Bought everything I could (afford to) from https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/358669
Don't know if/when I'll get to reading them, but god do they look beautiful. It's all "forbidden love" themed manga it seems.

Also, bought this London daki cover second hand (unopened) (о´∀`о)
Glad I searched for it when I did, hard to get a hand on any London merch.
Not going to open it up because I don't have a daki to cover with this, but in the future...

There was a good premium daki store.
Wataame is my favorite

Actually i think it was Kumochi.. i can check if it matters

Expensive...
Maybe when I have some 万s to spare in the future.

>>161135
considering the cost of the covers, it's actually cheap..

Ordered this PISS doujin online.

Not a pissu connoisseur but I appreciate the art in it. Nice get.

>>161697
I didn't get it for years, then something just broke.

I bought something through buyee and they included stuff I didn't order that were obviously not complementary goods...

>>162272
Nice. You got someone at the warehouse that stuffed extras into the box because they were too lazy to return them to inventory. Happens all of the time after a long day of packing.

>>162273
Huh. Interesting.

That's absurd. I thought it looked familiar...
That's Nanahira merch

Could have just been an honest mistake too. In a warehouse you have people that are called pickers that pull the actual orders and load them on to carts. Usually the carts have 20-50 slots and each slot is an order. Then these get brought up to a packing station where someone else packs the individual orders into boxes.

Picker might have tossed those in your slot by mistake or the divider came out and the packer wasn't sure which went with which order and guessed. I've also seen a lot of people being actively malicious because both of those jobs suck and management is always slave driving them. So they throw extras into random boxes to screw over the warehouse. A few bucks here and there on each order adds up to thousands over the course of a day sometimes.

There is also the possibility that your order came back to what's called resolutions. Which are there to catch fucked up packages before they go out for delivery. They also end up with all the loose items that somehow got outside of where they're supposed to be. There are huge piles of random items at resolutions that they're supposed to sort and return to the warehouse floor in an attempt to balance inventory. It's also a pretty shit and stressful job and many times you end up with random stuff you can't figure out where it came from or where it's supposed to be returned to. So if you can make it vanish then you can mark it down as a loss or put it off (and blame) the next or prior shift. A lot of that type of stuff goes on.

I've done all three jobs. Picking is by far the least stressful but the most wear and tear on your body. Packing sucks because you're standing in one place all day. Resolutions is the worse because you're basically doing all three jobs at the same time plus providing support for the other two. Then if a lot goes missing it gets blamed on you. I've spent hours walking around looking for thousands of dollars worth of merch some forklift driver misplaced. Or sorting through thousands of small items and running around trying to return them to the proper location in the warehouse before the pickers need them. Or having to dig through massive boxes of loose items to find one little item to complete and order that's got to go out before the end of the shift. Blah blah blah.

Anyway, you shouldn't feel guilty about it or report it. As long as you got the item you originally ordered along with them consider it good luck and keep quiet. If you do alert the company you'll just get whoever did you a solid in trouble.

Guess I'm making onigiri then

i was at a book sale in regional australia and i found lots of touhou books, extremely unexpected but i'm a happy man, even madoka and carnival phantasm production books were there. I wonder what happened to the previous owner.

>>162418
Oh that's a really cool experience, I've never had something like that happen before.
The most surreal buyfag experience I've ever made was finding the Japan-exclusive artbook to one of my favorite shows on our equivalent of Craigslist. Neither the anime, nor the manga have ever gotten a release here and even the US is rarely talking about it anymore, but somehow that one guy from my country was selling the 100+ bucks artbook from 2003 that I've never seen outside of Japan... for under 10 bucks with shipping included.

>>162421
you better have gotten it

>>162422
Thankfully! >>152705
Now I just need to find a collection of imported Touhou games.

Ah, a fine addition to my shab collection.
