a dakimakura? i see, that would make sense

Zelda is so racist. The good guys are all white blond-haired Aryan types, and the bad guy is a brown-skinned man with a pronounced nose.

Other races like gorons and zora are considered "good" because they submit to the Hylians.

Not the gerudo, though. Nope. They want to be independent and refuse to be dominated, therefore they are "evil."

Say, doesn't Hylian kinda sound like Aryan?

Ganon wants to create "a world of darkness," because obviously a world not ruled by white people = darkness and chaos amirite?

Link is the chosen hero because he has the blood of ancient Hylian warriors. He's a hero because of his blood? In other words, he's automatically the hero because his ancestors are white?

Master Sword, huh? Is that like the master race?

The Triforce is a KKK symbol.

The final boss of Zelda 2 is Shadow Link, who is exactly like Link except he is black.

Nice pointy hat, Link. Was KKK-mart having a sale?

Captain: Our king is the god of war. He always stands on the frontline and does not know defeat.
Soldier 1: She, Sir.
Captain: What was that?
Soldier 1: Our king is a woman, sir.
Soldier 2: And quite a looker at that.
Captain: He always stands on the frontline and does not know defeat! No one can stand in the way of-
Soldier 1: Forgive me for speaking out of turn, Captain, but that's definitely a woman.

Captain: His chest! Look! Our king's dauntless figure has not changed since he-
Soldier 1: She, Sir.
Captain: QUIET! Our king has not changed since he pulled out the sword of selection! The king does not age, and he certainly does not walk around with coconuts pressed to his chest!
Soldier 3: So our king is a woman.
Soldier 2: And quite a looker at that!
Soldier 1: I'm so glad that I'm not the only one here that can see the blooming obvious!
Captain: Stop speaking of our king as if he were some common two-pence tramp! He, and I do mean he, is the incarnation of a dragon! He will lead us to victory against-
Soldier 1: She, Sir!
Captain: I've had enough out of you!
Soldier 1: With all due respect, Captain, you're a bloody loony! I am loyal to the king, but the king is a woman!
Soldier 2: And quite a looker at that!
Soldier 3: I wouldn't mind having a quickie with her, if you know what I mean!
Captain: ENOUGH! Our king is the blooming god of war! He does not walk around with coconuts in his chest, he is not quite a looker, and there will be no having quickies with our king!
Saber: Is there a problem, Captain?
Captain: Your majesty, I-
Soldier 1: Your majesty, you're a woman, right?
Saber: Gender is meaningless. I am the wielder of Excalibur and the King of Britain.
Soldier 3: She's a hermaphrodite?

I believe you shouldn't underestimate Aikido. Now I know you may be thinking, "Why take a weakling martial art like Aikido seriously when I am learning Kendo?" I can see why you would think that, how can a peaceful martial arts like Aikido beat a powerful one like Kendo?

Well, I have a story to share with you.

Years ago, I was a Kendoka, I thought I was the toughest kid in high school, I would pick fights, and kick ass. I was full of hate, until I picked a fight with the wrong dude. He was a Japanese exchange student, I still remember his name, Noboru Takeda.

I picked on him because of his hilarious and thick Japanese accent. I told him I was going to beat him so hard, he would go back to China(Yeah, I was a little racist prick.), he never said anything back, made me wanted to kick his ass even harder.

Well, here comes the fight. I threw men and do strikes, he dodged them like I was a mere white belt. I was tiring out and he knew, I saw the smirk on his face that made me raged hard. I put all my strength in one amazing tsuki, and he grabbed past it to my wrist and threw me over. My back smacked on the hard cement ground, and I was knocked out for who knows how long.

When I woke up I was in the school infirmary, I asked the nurse who brought me here, and you guessed it, Noboru Takeda. The next day, he wasn't at school, he was back in Japan, and I never got to thank him, for saving my life and showing me the light. I soon learned that he was an Aikidoka and have been practicing Aikido ever since to show my thanks to him.

i'm not even that guy, just tried to inquire the truth about pillowtrolling

one might call me a truth-seeker

still at it? your autism is showing, bro

Picture yourself, in every moment of your life, passing from place to place and time to time. Picture those places and times and picture what happened to them. Has the past gone away when you left it? Is this true, can you not go back? If so, surely this can be the same way for places as it is for time. Imagine that when you leave a room, or simply turn away, a multitude of tiny organisms deconstruct the reality you can't see, and it ceases to exist. At the same time, the organisms weave together a new world wherever you go and for whatever you look at out of the material of that dead reality. This of course implies the back of your head does not exist either. So how does it seem familiar? Because when the back of your head does not exist, these organisms may restructure your brain directly in order to create the feeling of familiarity and of memory.
They do all this, without ever ceasing, out of knowledge passed down by instinct that when you cease to acknowledge reality, they as a whole will cease to exist, because reality is the knowing and they are the unknowing, both in mutual interdependence. In time they may attempt to rewire your brain or body to ensure this does not happen, but it is far more likely just one of them will realize that your brain is just a construct of your thought... and since thought is a product of your brain, that single organism, one of an infinite number of organisms will know it's true purpose is not in line with it's kind.

It's purpose is tanasinn.

“Thanks for stopping by The Route 66 Refreshments!” Tenshi announced to her customer, leaving with one of her famed corn dogs. The Arizona sun crept over the desert, heralding Tenshi’s nightly cooking ritual. When the last customer was out of earshot, she closed the front door to her Frankfurter stand and flipped on the radio. “Route 66” by Chuck Berry blared over any noise from the outside as Tenshi pulled a fresh batch of corn dogs from the refrigerator. One by one she broke them off from their icy packaging and began to undo her shirt. The desert nights were cold, with no central heating her bare breast was chilled with erect nipples. She placed a freezing corn dog along her bare skin. She shuddered as she moved the frozen wiener along her skin. It became quite cold from the lacking sun, to alleviate this, she turned on the fryer used to cook the corn dogs. She broke off a second corn dog and placed it under her dress. The still chilled dog pushed in to her panties with an uncomfortable glacial chill. The fryer dinged, indicating it’s warmth, one corn dog was soggy and cold from the melted ice, with one degrading from the heat. She slipped her undergarments aside and slipped the stick of the corn dog firmly in her anus. Carefully positioning herself over the fryer, careful not to burn herself or her clothes, dipped the corn dog in the fryer, cooking it in to an oily, tanned treat.

Since this isn't a board related thread, may I ask for that macro image?

>>6974527

>>6974543
‘Ding!’ the fryer indicated, as she slipped the stick out of her, placing it on a ceramic plate beside her. She pulled a third corn dog out, and placed it in her anus just like the last one. Her body had become warm from arousal and the fryer, she slipped off her dress and threw it aside, leaving very little protection against both the cold and heat. The fryer popped, sizzled, and finally dinged, the corn dog now fully cooked. She grabbed the first one, which had now become warm from disuse. She stepped off the fryer with one corn dog still in her anus, the other in hand. She positioned herself on her knees and pushed the phallic-shaped snack in to her panties. The rough texture of the corn dog clashed with the silky undergarment while the lavaesque corn dog pushed in to her bum. She took firm grip of her breast and forced the fried bread in to her. “GET YOUR KICKS! ON ROUTE! 66!” She shouted, the hot dog soaking up her ecstatic motions. With one befouling movement she sat down, pushing the still hot corn dog all the way in to her anus and slammed the now defiled corn dog all the way in to her slit, soaking it further. She fell back, letting her muscles push out the 2 corn dogs. Laying on the floor, Chuck Berry overshadowed her heavy breaths with rockabilly tunes. Tenshi picked up the 2 cold, wet cornbread-wrapped sausages and put them under her heat lamp, finished with tomorrows lunch.

truth seekers never give up!

Chess is a crappy tactical turn based RPG developed by a bunch of monkeys.

Right away you'll notice Chess has no storyline. Instead, all you notice is the the White army and the Black army are fighting each other over a battlefield. Note the "a battlefield," because Chess only has one story map.

As for the actual combat, it's extremely dull. Each unit can kill another with only one hit. This means units with a real good movement ability dominate the field (more on that bellow). There aren't even any combat animations or anything that happens in combat. One unit moves on it's space and "captures" it, and the piece is removed from the game with no form of action or special effects.

Yawn.

Chess has shitty class balance. The Queen is flat out overpowered while your actual front line units, the Pawns. can't do shit. I think the developers were afraid that no one would use the female character so they buffed up her abilities really high but now theres no point in using any other unit.

The rest of the units suck. Rooks can only move in 4 directions, same with Bishops. Boring. Also, whats up with the Knight? It has the most bizzare combat abilities of all the units. They're retardly hard to use cause they jump around like retards to move and attack. The devs should have named this unit Ninja, since Knights didn't jump around like that in real life.

Worst part, is the king. You see, the devs decided that if your king gets captured, you instantly lose the game. W-T-F? This wouldn't be a problem, except that he can't move for crap. Seriously, the most important unit in the game can only move 1 space a turn? Good luck keeping him alive while every other unit in the game dances around him.

Unbalanced classes, lackluster gameplay, and not to mention repetitive 1 hour+ games. Chess is not worth the time or your money. Buy Final Fantasy Tactics or Disgaea instead.

3 out of 10.

When the phone rang at 3:20 p.m. I was sprawled out on the tatami, staring at the ceiling. A pool of winter sunlight had formed in the place where I lay. Like a dead fly I lay there, vacant, in a December spotlight.

At first, I didn't recognize the sound as the phone ringing. It was more like an unfamiliar memory that had hesitantly slipped in between the layers of air. Finally, though, it began to take shape, and, in the end, a ringing phone was unmistakably what it was. It was one hundred per cent a phone ring in one-hundred-per-cent real air. Still sprawled out, I reached over and picked up the receiver.

On the other end was a girl, a girl so indistinct that, by four-thirty, she might very well have disappeared altogether. She was the ex-girlfriend of a friend of mine. Something had brought them together, this guy and this indistinct girl, and something had led them to break up. I had, I admit, reluctantly played a role in getting them together in the first place.

Sorry to bother you, she said, but do you know where he is now?

I looked at the phone, running my eyes along the length of the cord. The cord was, sure enough, attached to the phone. I managed a vague reply. There was something ominous in the girls voice, and whatever trouble was brewing I knew that I didn't want to get involved.

Nobody will tell me where he is, she said in a chilly tone. Everybody's pretending they don't know. But there's something important I have to tell him, so please tell me where he is. I promise I won't drag you into this. Where is he?

I honestly don't know, I told her. I haven't seen him in a long time. My voice didn't sound like my own. I was telling the truth about not having seen him for a long time, but not about the other part (I did know his address and phone number). Whenever I tell a lie, something weird happens to my voice.

No comment from her.

ITT: buttpain

>>6974569

The phone was like a pillar of ice.

Then all the objects around me turned into pillars of ice, as if I were in a J. G. Ballard science-fiction story.

I really don't know, I repeated. He went away a long time ago, without saying a word.

The girl laughed. Give me a break. He's not that clever. We're talking about a guy who has to make a lot of noise no matter what he does.

She was right. The guy really was a bit of a dim bulb.

But I wasn't about to tell her where he was. Do that, and next I'd have him on the phone, giving me an earful. I was through with getting caught up in other peoples messes. I'd already dug a hole in the back yard and buried everything that needed to be buried in it. Nobody could ever dig it up again.

I'm sorry, I said.

You don't like me, do you? she said suddenly.

I had no idea what to say. I didn't particularly dislike her. I had no real impression of her at all. It's hard to have a bad impression of somebody you have no impression of.

I'm sorry, I said again. But I'm cooking spaghetti right now.

I'm sorry?

I said I'm cooking spaghetti, I lied. I had no idea why I said that. But the lie had already become a part of me -- so much so that, at that moment at least, it didn't feel like a lie at all.

I went ahead and filled an imaginary pot with imaginary water, lit an imaginary stove with an imaginary match.

So? she asked.

I sprinkled imaginary salt into the boiling water, gently lowered a handful of imaginary spaghetti into the imaginary pot, set the imaginary kitchen timer for eight minutes.

So I can't talk. The spaghetti will be ruined.

>>6974578

She didn't say anything.

I'm really sorry, but cooking spaghetti is a delicate operation.

The girl was silent. The phone in my hand began to freeze again.

So could you call me back? I added hurriedly.

Because youre in the middle of making spaghetti? she asked.

Yeah.

Are you making it for someone, or are you going to eat alone?

I'll eat it by myself, I said.

She held her breath for a long time, then slowly breathed out. Theres no way you could know this, but I'm really in trouble. I don't know what to do.

I'm sorry I can't help you, I said.

There's some money involved, too.

I see.

He owes me money, she said. I lent him some money. I shouldn't have, but I had to.

I was quiet for a minute, my thoughts drifting toward spaghetti. Im sorry, I said. But I've got the spaghetti going, so . . .

She gave a listless laugh. Goodbye, she said. Say hi to your spaghetti for me. I hope it turns out O.K.

Bye, I said.

Macro images are frowned upon in their entirety, Anonymous. You know this.

You aren't aroused by traumatic insemination? What are you doing on /jp/? You should learn to appreciate expressing your love by administering your sperm directly into your devoted wife's bloodstream. I want to be a little girl with a drill penis and watch Merry's cute, tearful face as she bears the excruciating pain for my sake, calling out my name while I penetrate her peritoneum and deposit my seed within the tight, inviting folds of her greater omentum. When I pull out, my spiral-coiled penis covered with a mixture of cum, blood, serous intraperitoneal fluid and gastric acid, she'd smile gently and take some of the sperm gushing out of her gaping wound, licking it and telling me how delicious it is because it's my taste. Then we'd sleep together, with her telling me how much she loves me while groping my budding breasts, making me moan softly like the little girl I am as her half-spilled guts warmly rest around my drill-shaped, oversized male genitalia, arousing me further.

Jeez, people have no taste for romantic love those days.

"Somewhere in an alternate universe your waifu dreams about you, her husbando. "
Those words struck me with a certain heaviness, like they were truly profound words of meaning. For a split second I was taken aback my the sheer power of them. But then questions intruded my thought. Who was this guy? And more importantly, how did he know my lifestyle? Why was he talking like a 4chan otaku?

I moved my hand out to hold him on the shoulder, so he would stay in place. Moments before my hand touched his coat, he swooped downwards, slid between my legs and reappeared behind me. His face touched mine, his stubble bristling against my ear, I could feel a greasy warmth from his skin. Rattling a string of words like a machine gun, he said "She frequents a board very much like this one and she posts pictures of you, In this dimension you are a star of your very own slice of life anime.
She has a folder on her computer dedicated to you, it is over 10 GB big and has every conceivable fan art, rule 34, and picture related to you, She sleeps with a tear stained body pillow with your image on it, She is madly in love with you and only you."

Already he had scuttled out of the cubicle and left. I futilely cried out "Who are you! Why are you telling me this!". It was useless.

But then, from behind the door, a voice. That man, as a departing remark, opined "You are loved, mai.". And then, his head comically popped from the side of door and smiled at me. I hadn't noticed it before, but his lips were curved oddly, in the shape of a three. It was kind of funny, but also genuinely well-meaning. A contortionist perhaps? Or a congenital defect such as cleft lip?

To this day, these strange events that occured the night I entered that brothel have never left me.

I appreciate your efforts mr spammer, but please use sage as you post.

Thanks!

Anonymous does not really believe that 3D is Pig Disgusting. Rather, Anonymous is

the perfect tsundere. He has been jaded by painful experiences in the past, and

feigns indifference or disgust to protect himself from being hurt again. But peel

away the tsuntsun mask, and you'll see that there is a vulnerable deredere core

yearning to see the light of the day and receive acknowledgment and acceptance

from others.

Indeed, every time Anonymous sees a girl that is even slightly interesting, in his

own mind he has probably already planned their wedding and named their children

before his tsun side catches up to him a few seconds later and rationalizes a

hundred reasons why he shouldn't talk to her. For reasons of pride or shame or

somewhere in between, he has to reject her before she ever has the opportunity to

do so to him. That way he doesn't have to risk being hurt.

That's it. I'm sick of all this "Masterwork Bastard Sword" bullshit that's going on in the d20 system right now. Katanas deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.

I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine katana in Japan for 2,400,000 Yen (that's about $20,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of solid steel with my katana.

Japanese smiths spend years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest blades known to mankind.

Katanas are thrice as sharp as European swords and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a longsword can cut through, a katana can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a knight wearing full plate with a simple vertical slash.

Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Japan? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Samurai and their katanas of destruction. Even in World War II, American soldiers targeted the men with the katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected.

So what am I saying? Katanas are simply the best sword that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the d20 system. Here is the stat block I propose for Katanas:

(One-Handed Exotic Weapon) 1d12 Damage 19-20 x4 Crit +2 to hit and damage Counts as Masterwork

(Two-Handed Exotic Weapon) 2d10 Damage 17-20 x4 Crit +5 to hit and damage Counts as Masterwork

Now that seems a lot more representative of the cutting power of Katanas in real life, don't you think?

tl;dr = Katanas need to do more damage in d20, see my new stat block.

Gomenasai /jp/, my name is Ken-Sama.

I'm a 36 year old American Otaku. I draw Anime and Manga on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Japanese games. (Disgaea, Final Fantasy, God Hand)

I train with my Katana every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is folded over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my sword license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak Japanese fluently, both Kanji and the Osaka dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Japanese history and their bushido code, which I follow 100%

When I get my Japanese visa, I am moving to Tokyo to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Studio Ghibli or a game designer for Square Enix!

I own several kimonos, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Japan, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Japanese as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Wish me luck in Japan!

>>Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Japan? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Samurai and their katanas of destruction

Man what

I'm pretty sure they didn't know what japan was

Hello! I posted about this problem of mine last night. Unfortunately, most of what I got were troll comments or people getting angry over silly things.

Anyway, here's my dilemma...I'm a hardcore gamer. I love videogames. They're important to me. If I'm not working, then I'm probably playing videogames. So, it's only natural that this would be a real selling point for any potential relationship interest.

My boyfriend is a horrible casual gamer. He owns no HD consoles and refuses to play anything that isn't old-as-dirt, horribly gimmicky, or just retro/hipster/kiddy garbage. He has a Wii, a PS2, a Nintendo DS, and a heaping mountain of old stuff he's packratted from the 80's and 90's....or, he DID have those things.

I finally followed my own advice. He's been off visiting his family because of some accident his sister had for the past few days and he's due home tonight. While he's been away, I've taken the liberty of selling a ton of the stuff he could never bring himself to part with and buying him something actually worth his time.

>>6974608

I was quick to find a buyer. A local pawn shop eats things like this up, so they were happy to have me as a seller. Here's

what my transactions have been like.

I sold: An NES + all of his NES cartridges, SNES + cartridges, Genesis + Cartridges, Genesis + games, Dreamcast (Didn't

sell the games though. They were all burned onto disc, so they wouldn't take them), Virtual Boy + single game (Wario), PS2

+ a fucking MOUNTAIN of old PS2 and PS1 games, and his Wii + all Wii and Gamecube titles. I didn't sell the DS...but

that's only because he took it on the trip with him. All in all, the consoles + over 100 combined games netted me about

500 dollars.

As a surprise when he gets back, I bought him a new 250 GB PS3! Yeah yeah, 'nogaems'...but it makes sense. I own a 360,

after all...so now we can share everything, since he finally has something worthwhile.

I was planning to get him FFXIII and Modern Warfare 2...but since I have those already, I decided to stick to exclusives

or things I don't already own. Before he left, I subtly asked him if he'd ever play any PS3 games at all. He said he was

actually interested in 3D Dot Game Heroes, so I got him that. Seems kinda 'hipster-y', but it's a start. On top of that, I

also got him MAG. He doesn't seem to like FPS games, but he'll get used to them.

Anyway, I set everything up in the living room. He should be back within the hour. You think he'll like it and finally

start to appreciate gaming as a modern form of entertainment?

I'm an Alpha male /jp/.

And girls want to fuck alpha males. Let it piss you off as much as you want, but you know it's completely true. That girl you like who is kinda cute in a weird way, but is totally sweet and you have the biggest crush on? The one who keeps going back to guys who treat her wrong for reasons you don't understand? The one who calls you up at 1 am to cry about how her boyfriend hasn't called her in 3 days, and no matter how long you listen to her, she'll never think of you as anything other than asexual? The one who will curl up next to you on the couch, hug you close, kiss you on the cheek, and never let you fucking touch her beyond that?

Yeah, I'm fucking her.

The hot girl who won't even look at you when you nod at them and smile? The one who laughs when you trip in the hallway and drop your stuff? The one who comes up and coyly asks for your help with her homework, and then pretends you don't exist once you finish?

Yeah, I'm fucking her too, even harder.

The geeky girl you think might be enough like you that you have a chance with her? She plays warcraft on your server, and watches anime, and reads comics? She's so incredible and you just love her so much but you still haven't worked up the courage to tell her how you feel about her?

Guess who just sucked me off and told me they'll always love me?

You ask for a hamburger, I give you a hamburger. You raise it to your lips and take a bite. Your eye twitches

involuntarily. Across the street a father of three falls down the stairs. You swallow and look down at the hamburger in

your hands. I give you a hamburger. You swallow and look down at the hamburger in your hands. You cannot swallow. There

are children at the top of the stairs. A pickle shifts uneasily under the bun. I give you a hamburger. You look at my

face, and I am pleading with you. The children are crying now. You raise the hamburger to your lips, tears stream down

your face as you take a bite. I give you a hamburger. You are on your knees. You plead with me to go across the street. I

hear only children’s laughter. I give you a hamburger. You are screaming as you fall down the stairs. I am your child. You

cannot see anything. You take a bite of the hamburger. The concrete rushes up to meet you. You awake with a start in your

own bed. Your eye twitches involuntarily. I give you a hamburger. As you kill me, I do not make a sound. I give you a

hamburger.

CR earned it's bad reputation. It's changed a bit, but reputations don't fade quickly.

1. They were actual thieves, earning profit from streaming anime illegally. Most of the anime community follows fansubs of

unlicensed series, where a free translation service is provided for sharing a series among fellow fans. The DVDRip

community is separate from the fansubbers, and even then the rippers usually encourage financially supporting series you

like.

2. CR not only made money off stealing shows, they stole fansubs and made money off them, claiming the stolen fansubs as

their own without even bothering to strip the subber tags. CR made money from stealing shows, which is anathema to

everything the anime community follows.

3. CR was a ripoff, streaming crappy quality video as they committed the above offenses. So not only was it morally

offensive, they didn't even have the decency to do a good job of it.

4. The CR forum community was a cesspool. Enough said.

That's the past that earned CR the bad reputation. The new CR has different issues.

5. The thieves converted to "legal" - i.e. still trying to rip people off to make money off anime that would have been

shared freely otherwise

>>6974622


6. They don't publish DVDs, so anything they license is dead in the water in terms of anime collections. DVDs have been

the traditional route of non-Japanese fans financially supporting anime they enjoy, so this also interferes with that.

7. Their quality is still pretty crappy. The translations on various shows have had blatant errors, poor editing, and are

generally shoddy compared to the quality of most of the top fansub groups.

8. CR has been poaching series by offering to be "cheap and easy" licensing and profit, basically the Chinese Outsourcing

of licensing companies. This makes it tougher for the core licensing companies, like Funimation, etc., to survive and

thrive.

While what they offer isn't really too bad, and probably seems pretty spiffy to the Youtube Newbies who still stream anime

and have just discovered CR, money paid to them pretty much stops there. You're not financially supporting your favorite

series, you're not supporting the US anime industry, and you're just helping to eat away at the foundations of the strong

anime community that has been supporting the entire US anime industry since the start.

Watching anime on TV (like on Toonami when it was awesome), being vocal about your support for series, buying DVDs and

secondary goods, and drawing in others to anime fandom are ways to actually support the US and Japanese anime industries.

Subscribing to CR does not make you morally righteous compared to the "thieves" who watch fansubs and buy DVDs and other

goods.

And, amusingly, CR gets poached now in the same way they did before, with numerous stream-ripping groups posting torrents

for all of their 480p and 720p show streams. Except those groups don't scam money off of it.

Out of curiosity, do you have all these saved?
Why would you?

This is my favorite thread on /jp/ right now.

Together, they headed for the elevator as the crowd of undergraduates, graduate students, and administrators who had

gathered (no faculty members, since they wouldn't have wanted to be seen at a gathering where students would be present)

gaped speechlessly. They got off at the seventh floor and Richard directed them towards a corner office.

"Don't worry, Professor mumble mumble won't be here for the rest of the afternoon," said Richard, who still had managed to

make those fudge wafers last for four floors.

As they settled at opposite ends of the black leather couch that occupied a small portion of the office, Eric looked at

Richard.

"You looked better with short hair," he said.

"Well, you looked better before you gained that 30 pounds," said Richard.

"It's all muscle," he said, and they both laughed. Then they were silent.

Eric broke the silence. "Open-source software, free software, why did we let such distinctions of terminology divide us

so? Linux has been such a huge success and we've both contributed to that. We have more similarities than differences."

"That's GNU/Linux, Eric, and you ought to know why as well as anybody. Why, the Linux operating system would be completely

nonfunctional without the many software utilities contributed by volunteers for the GNU project, including--"

"Richard, Richard. You're not talking to a journalist. You're talking to me. The only man you ever loved."

I've done the WILD method several times. Even my first bout of paralysis wasn't so much frightening as odd. I'm so used to

it now that I find the vibrations relaxing. Granted, I've never had screaming bloody hallucinations like some people claim

to.

As for becoming lucid: Work on your dream recall. Being able to vividly remember your dreams is the first step to being

able to control them.

Controlling your dream: When your subconscious is doing the driving, it's pretty easy to just go with the flow. But when

I'm lucid, I find that trying to materialize or change things right in front of me rarely works. However, my mind seems to

have no problem with me doing things just out of sight. Try visualizing whatever you want as around a corner, behind a

door, or even just close your eyes first. Also, the more you try and control, the more difficult it's going to be. Let

your subconscious craft the environment, and just focus on whatever your goal was.

Staying lucid: My first few dreams, I woke myself up just because I was ecstatic I had achieved lucidity. Focus on a goal,

and go to it. Spinning on your own axis, and rubbing your hands have been shown to preoccupy your brain while lucid, and

help prevent you from waking up. Also, beware of false awakenings. If you suddenly wake up, do a few reality checks, like

trying to read text or clocks. I've woken up several times only to realize I'm actually still asleep. If you know you're

still asleep, you can chain it back into another dream.

But above all, take it easy. As odd as it sounds, the more you obsess over it, the harder it is to do.

There's a crazy person in this thread writing long posts that don't make sense!

It then turned into this weird game where Yuuka and I were facing odd against each other from on the ledges of my shower

in my bathroom, but the shower was about five miles wide. I remember it had something to do with easy buttons on the side

of the wall, and there was attack and defense points. Initially, she had way more attack and defense than me, but neither

of us attacked for a while. Yuuka then attacked and killed Batman, and I began to panic. I began to search all along the

walls of my bathroom to see if I could spot her, and for some reason, while Yuuka was on the walls, I thought she was

supposed to look like a golden, glowing scarab. She eventually appeared behind me, and asked how I had become more

powerful than her. She then struck at me with something, and didn't do any physical damage, but once she hit me, she

checked these weird consoles that were inside my bathroom. She then said that this "wasn't right.", and that she was going

to kill me. With that, she started smashing all the consoles and easy buttons. For some reason, I even started helping

her. When the last easy button came around, she was right in front of it, and I felt ready to die. However, she said that

it would be nice to rule over Hercules and Greece (I had become Hercules) so she came to a screen that looked like it was

from the Hearts of Iron "do you wish to make an alliance" scree, that had a picture of some mountains on it. When she hit

"accept"m her request was denied, she then turned around and starting walking towards me, then the dream ended.

This thread would have been long dead already if the spammer left it alone.

But since he's just trying to mindlessly copy akido spammer and is clearly a newfag he obviously doesn't realize that.

are we being raided by /a/?
/jp/ has been steadily declining in quality recently. Yesterday there was a huge shitstorm where a bunch of normals came in and started whining in a thread about how to become a NEET. That's kind of like a bunch of unemployed people coming in a thread about how to get a job, of course, you'd never see that. Then they created a thread about having a job, that has nothing to do with otaku culture. I've seen people try and discuss girlfriends by loosely referring to them in VN terms too recently. May I suggest all these people go to 4chon.org, where the new /r9k/ and /new/ are located?

>>6974655

>>6974648
Why isn't he saging? God damn. I hate new people. Why didn't moot create a /jp/ cut off point.

>>6974633
>>6974633
>>6974655
>>6974655

So it begins...

cool thread guys

>>6974656
No, read:
>>6974518

Check these fucking singles /n/iggers

>>6974680
Ah, so he's like Ryan.

>>6974656
I think the people in the neet thread were serious though.
Well, some. I guess.

>>6974656
Try /v/.

/a/ still respects us.

>>6974656
Someone in /v/ mentions /jp/
/v/irgins come in are are disgusted by what they see
potential raiders are born

>>6974688
>/a/ still respects us

hahahaha, no

>>6974688
>/a/
>Respect /jp/

Not since a few months when /jp/ became pretentious and elitist.

>>6974684
I think most of them were serious, even trolls sage their posts. I think that it's the bottom denominator of /r9k/ and /new/, who have come here, and seen a thread or two about otaku related life, like a NEET thread or a masturbation thread, and think that excuses ronery threads and employment threads.

>>6974681
Lovely singles, baby.

>>6974656
I didn't see any problems with the NEET thread. It was just a bunch of anons complaining about not having jobs and dropping out of college. People have been doing that for years here.

>>6974700
Oh boy.

>>6974702
Just because it's been happening for years doesn't make those threads any less shitty they're just blog and emokids blaming the world threads.

>>6974688
/a/ has always hated us, our shit being posted all over /a/ led to this board being created.

>>6974688
>Implying /jp/ isn't on absolutely shit terms with every other board on 4chan

I think only /mu/ is worse.

I enjoyed the American Psycho book and I think Christian Bale is a good looking man.

>>6974702
The thread was fine at first, until "LOL get a job" and "you're just hipsters jumping on the bandwaggon" and other retarded shit.

>>6974707
Yeah they're shitty but at least they stay relatively on topic as NEET/hikki generals, and usually they stay to one or two threads. But last night there were about 4 meta threads on the front page.

>>6974697
Months? What the fuck are you on about? This board has been elitist since day 1.

>>6974711
>>6974700
>>6974655
>>6974633

>>6974716
oh. I never finished reading it, it was pretty long

>>6974707
>just blog and emokids blaming the world threads.
Well, yeah. But how is that now otaku culture at it's finest?

>>6974726
not*

>>6974724
It went bad pretty fast. Normals suddenly jumped on the thread and started calling everyone lazy immoral asses for not having jobs. Apparently doing what we want to do isn't enough. They predicted our futures, and generally butt maddening occurred all around. I went to bed scared that /r9k/ had sent the majority of it's posters to us, since a thread like that belongs far back on page 10 at least, but it was constantly being bumped up by new people.

>>6974733
thats what not taking it easy leads to

>>6974710
/b/
/soc/

Also /jp/ isn't bad. One big problem is normalfags. They have trouble accepting what they don't like and newfags still take sage as an insult.

Compare 2007 /b/ to now.

>>6974726
As long as things like SSI, getting easy money from things like mechanical turk, masturbation toys, wanting to be female/little girls/traps/touhous and generally being what normals consider 'pathetic', without anyone looking down on each other for these things, I'm fine. It's a fundamental aspect of the normals to judge you for your lifestyle or fetishes. We don't do that here.

>>6974743
I know what you mean, there have been some judgemental people around here lately. There was some faggot mocking some guy with some syndrome a few days ago, and a bunch of people generally pushing their morals on each other. Feels like /r9k/. I have no idea why moot deleted that board, there's no where for the people in between /jp/ and /soc/ for the people who used to go there to feel comfortable, so half of them went to /soc/ and the other half seem to be coming here.

>>6974740
The only real problem is people replying to normals to begin with. Normals trying to shit things up is in no way new, it's just that people seem to be getting more easily irritated lately.

>>6974752
Wasn't /r9k/ not just /b/ light?
I thought it would make more sense for them to go back there.

>>6974771
Yeah, it was but there's a stigma attached to /b/, even if it still is better now that a large amount of the mainstream normals have gone to /soc/, it's still worse than /v/. Many /r9k/ people have gone to /v/ and /a/ too, but a large amount of them will have come here too. I think /r9k/ was about the same as off topic /v/ and /a/, so it makes sense they'd go and shit up those boards with off topic threads. There really should be some off topic boards for /a/ and /v/ to post in so their boards can be more focused..

>>6974779
>There really should be some off topic boards for /a/
Like /jp/?

>>6974785
I was talking more about things like 'baww I'm so lonely women are so horrible' that would get flamed by women and white knights in /soc/, but end up in a circle jerk for /a/ and /v/. They should have a board on their level for such discussion which doesn't have the stigma of /b/, that's what /r9k/ was. I have no idea why moot deleted it.

>>6974785
I would really welcome a pure manga board.
It's almost impossible to have good manga threads on /a/ nowadays.

>>6974794
That's been discussed to death. It won't happen because moot's being a faggot about any changes that might make any board than /b/ better.

>>6974794
All /a/ does now is discuss in depth the worst shows of the season. I mean seriously, generic harem/mecha anime? So called 'deconstruction' of the mahou shoujou genre? Generic mahou shoujou/harem? These shows are all terrible. The ones that actually do tread new water like Hourou Musuko are ignored. Also their treatment of waifus sicken me, and suggests a complete and utter misunderstanding of the concept. A new waifu every season. Pathetic. /a/ is a cesspool. We really need to step up the elitism and crack down on retarded normal threads.

>>6974794
Oh jesus christ do want. I think I'm gonna write a nice pretty essay convincing him to make a manga board. I wanted to do it back when he asked for board suggestions but I was kinda timid and unsure of what to say then.
