At the time 4taba was practically dying, when the site was only accessible through an IP and not the normal domain, I changed my bookmark to the IP and at some point noticed it too didn't work anymore. I just assumed it was all over and now, over a year later, I look up 4taba again and you're alive. My random thoughts about this turn of events are positive.

Same here, anon.

Somehow I actually quite dislike this. I prefer waking up and seeing that it's dark out, or pre-morning, because it means there will be no noise coming from the outside for at least some hours.

i hate feeling "jealous" when i see someone who's my age (26) look older than me for some reason, i should and sometimes am grateful that i look younger than i should, but i've had this feeling since i was in elementary, could never really shake it off.

There's nothing new under the sun, but there is values in doing old things with your own hands.

I get annoyed when I see teens who think that drawing like oney/psychicpebbles + using ironic memes makes them newgrounds. Maybe it's just me, but the newgrounds I remember was basically an edgier deviantart. 90% of the content on the site was stuff like this:
https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/274161
https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/330445
https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/264921

If those kids saw newgrounds back in its heyday, they'd have called it cringe and left.

I hope the next generation will push cringing at things even further

I don't understand anymore but I'm curious how far it can go

My use of free software is driven less by an ideological conviction about how one should know what code they're running, and more about how locked down software is annoying to use and is needlessly heavy on my hardware. I take FOSS licenses as short hand for "This program's code isn't absurdly heavy and doesn't waste my CPU cycles on phoning home".

The more I look into it, the more I realize that postmodernism is really just a watered down version of egoism, softened up to be palatable to the masses.

Sometimes it seems like this internet has become a gigantic shopping mall. I’ve beem surfing around and found nothing but online shops, and blogs that are primarily trying to sell things.

That's actually what free software has always been about! Have you ever heard the phrase "free as in freedom, not free as in free beer"? The phrase pretty much means exactly that, that the software respects your freedom to do whatever you want with it, but it doesn't explicitly prohibit the creator from making money from it. That is why some people prefer to use the phrase "libre software" instead of "free software".

Recently I had a very very vivid dream that I could basically will myself to float, I guess by just refusing to touch the ground. It felt like I had found like a video game exploit in real life. I would just lift me legs and force myself up.
I miss that dream.

RIP PERFECT
I LOVED YOU LIKE MY SON (I'M SORRY WE NEGLECTED YOU)!

I had one where I could drift around at arbitrary speeds, and another where my body was half-paralyzed but I could flail like a shrimp to move.

Is there a term for good visual memory and recognition? I can recall most places I've been at, even fictional places like levels in video games, so I never really get lost. I also collect a lot of art and can easily recognize duplicates that I've seen before. I wouldn't call this "photographic memory" as I can't really clearly visualize these images in my mind, but whenever I see them again, I instantly recognize them. I'd call it "symbolic memory" or something, but perhaps there's a proper term? It kind of applies to audio too, but for visuals it's more effective.

Despite not having touched a Nintendo console for years now, I find myself happy that Metroid is raising out of the pit of obscurity. It's kind of nice seeing people enjoying a niche thing I do, or did.
Sure, that thing I like gaining mainstream attention can mean compromises in the future, but that ship sailed when Brawl revealed Zero Suit Samus.

I'm sorry for being an asshole
I used to be a very rude anon some years ago, but after Corona-chan I decided to change because I wasn't going anywhere in life acting like that.
I wish you a great year and the best to happen, I'm sorry

>>375
You are forgiven.

I sometimes like to think about a little story I will hopefully be able to properly write someday and one of the characters in it is able to freely materialize themselves anywhere at will. I've started to wonder about what would happen if something like that were to happen in the real world. Let's assume a person, maybe even something big like an anchor, would just suddenly appear out of thin air, how would that realistically affect the scene? Would there be a sound, realistically? Would people nearby experience some sort of shockwave from a mass like that just suddenly materializing in the blink of an eye, maybe even die? Maybe the sudden change in surroundings would screw with people's eardrums?
I'm not experienced with physics at all, but perhaps it's possible to come up with a theoretical answer that is likely to be accurate, according to what we know about the laws of physics so far.

Seeing pine trees grow is kinda cute, the new needles are all a bit lighter than the old ones.

Don't mind me, just dropping an image!

I have never played Yume Nikki.

I have now played Yume Nikki.
It's pretty cool.

>>381 Did you finish it? I always found it quite nice how the game runs at 240p, blank scanlines look beautiful run across it.

my father beating 'model minority' allegations and leftist 'men need love too' propaganda with praxis by being an astonishingly terrible person

>>382
Not yet. It doesn't seem like the kind of game one should rush through.
It finally hit me that I hadn't experienced the game when I played through Electric Highways, which is by the developer of Yume Nikki 3D. It felt odd to play a game heavily inspired by YN and not play the inspiration.

My loneliness is killing me

>>385
Wish I had advice, since I'm in the same position, but all I'm doing is trucking through. Even if you're alone A lot, be sure to take care of yourself.

>>386
Well it's in human nature to take care of ourselves. Be sure I'll somewhat make it through.
But it's a bit sad having no one to tell my dreams about

I want to stuff a girl inside a toy house!

I like to pretend that someday I'll make a webcomic. That's all I have, right now. I don't have any characters, settings, plots, or premises for such a webcomic. I just think about it a lot. Would I post it on Neocities, host my own website, succumb to Twitter? How might I gather an audience, what kind of audience would I like? I guess I'd have to learn to draw, I'd better practice. Some days I practice, most I don't. That is why I only pretend that I will someday make a webcomic.

I haven't even read that many online comics, or any comics really. Isn't that something? It's just all I have, right now.

>>390
Does that exclude webtoons?

>>391
Is there a distinction between a webcomic and a webtoon?

>>392
presentation of panels and length. Comics being a longer story, toons being a few pannels

>>389
In general, I've found that thinking about writing seems to be more entertaining than actually doing it. Something about writing is exhausting beyond belief. I need to think really hard while doing it, and I don't like that! I don't like thinking at all!

The Arch Linux repos finally upgraded the Audacity version they provide from 1.2.4 to 1.3.1. I wonder how they finally decided that it's okay now.

People will complain about the internet destroying their attention span and then proceed to watch a two hours long "video essay" about some obscure media they don't even know. I don't get it.

>>396
That's likely not the only thing they're doing. Long videos like that are often used as background noise, only engaged with occasionally. You could say that their lack of ability to focus may be the main reason such videos are even watched.

>>397
Is it not frustrating to miss something important and have to rewind to find where it was said because you no longer understand what are they talking about? Or are these videos somehow constructed in a way that you can freely skip around without missing anything important?

As long as you say "I'm joking", you never have to take responsibility for anything you say. You don't even have to be funny, being unfunny in fact makes you defense stronger.

Pathetic.

>>398
If a person is only half paying attention, it likely won't bother them too much. People literally use long video as sleep aids, after all.
I do sometimes watch some longform videos myself, and I will find myself occasionally seeking backwards just in case I miss something, but that's usually when the videos actually have some "meat" to them. Believe it or not, there are significant levels of quality when it comes to long form videos about obscure media.

Has anyone seen Alice, I can't find her!

StableDiffusion and other stuff seem like pretty neat and interesting tools, but they seem to only be used for mass troll campaigns whenever I see them either brought up or used. Kind of sad.
