The proportions are so fucked up, I've always hated this picture.

lol

I love how people have just retroactively labeled everyone who was obsessive and weird across history as an autist. I sort of yearn for the days when autism was synonymous with retardation and was only used to describe those unable to interact with society, instead of claiming every anti-social person with bad hygiene as being an aspie.

>>68951
OP isn't saying that all artists are autistic, he's just making a pun because artist sounds like autist. Don't know why OP felt the need to make an entire shitty thread just for one shitty pun though.

I've been keeping my finger on the pulse of Touhou since 2006, though less so these days. I liked reading all the written material like Cage in Lunatic Runagate and Curiosities of Lotus Asia. Those fleshed out the characters a bit more than the games ever do, but still leaves them vague enough to be doujin fuel.

As for favourite character it's hard to choose, though I always like the lazy bitch portrayal of Reimu.

>>68990
I can't stand most of the fanon portrayals of the characters. Mostly because the same vagueness of personality that makes the series such ballza doujinshi fodder to begin with also makes a lot of lazy writers Flanderize the heck out of the Touhous down to just one or two memetic personality traits.

Woof woof, nigga.

The "手に入れろ！　オカルトボール！" on the OP image makes more sense now. I guess in the new fighting game "occult balls" are randomly released during a match and both players try to grab it for a powerup or something. Sounds like Super Smash Touhou to me.
Moe Harukawa's art is really cute though, I wish she'd do the illustrations for an actual danmaku game.

  >>69017
For all the shit, there's always ballza portrayals

>>68967


you'll never be MLG with scores like that.

I would have thought that it wouldn't happen anymore, but I am still astonished at how some people can be so clueless.

I have been spending all my time in murder mode playing counter strike so I kind of freak out at corners, windows and doorways when I'm walking around the house.

I'm strangely excited for Christmas this year. I normally like it for the most part but this year I'm very very excited. I'm really happy about the gifts I got for the handful of people I buy gifts for - dad, sister, best friend from childhood, girlfriend and a handful of friends - and can't wait to give them their little tokens of affection.

I've also been dating a girl for a couple months, first time I've had a proper girlfriend and not just a fuckbuddy in like 3 years. She paints psychedelic watercolors and has a nice ass.

A bunch of art projects have come together in the last year as well and I'm looking forward to the future.

I got worms.

Dont worry OP.

We are actually living in the best, most peaceful, most clean and safest time in history.

The doom-and-gloom comes from the fact for the first time in history a person can take a full color high quality HD video of anything anywhere and put it on something (interwebz) that anyone can see it.

So in essence the smaller shit pile has a magnifying glass on it.

200 years ago a genocide happening in africa would go unknown by 99% of people on the planet. Now a mass shooting in france is known by everyone, everywhere, instantly.

This is called optogenetics. The visual perception lab I worked in over the summer was just getting into it. Before, they were primarily recording, but being able to supress activity of a group of neurons is useful for determining if a class of neurons is important to some perceptual task.

>>68843
the fuck? some sauce other than "muh friend" would be great. stuff doesn't start glowing (emitting photons) until they're super hot, and this means you'll be damaging tissiue.

>>68948
So you've got like a high school or less understanding of physics there. Photons can have practically any energy, and yes a visual photon is pretty high energy but not necessarily the ones used in the experiments. Also everything that has any temperature is emitting photons all the time unless it is a perfect white body (which as far as I know doesn't exist) or it is non baryonic matter (baryons are basically protons and neutrons). And second, it takes two seconds to google something like "photon activation of neurons" and you'll get papers like 10.1038/nmeth.2249. You could also just search "optogenetics" and get a nice wikipedia page that even includes video of visible light controlling c.elegans and how they did it (transfect a light activated protein into a neuron).

Came here to post this.

rude

I did the first part of your New Years resolution, with the healthy eating, working out, ballza job and getting a girl friend last year. It's the next year and I'm worse off mentally than ever. It's the most I've had, but also I am so fucking dead inside, it's like I do everything the me in the past would have hated.

mine was to start transition and quit drinking. I only woke up on my floor once so far

>>69024
I don't want to sound all "lies nippon strong kill the waito debiru" but I very rarely find western erotic art fappable to begin with. I think the Japanese censorship laws actually force them to focus more on making a cute and nice looking image with well thought out posing and facial expressions and not something that looks like it ought to be spray painted on the side of a WW2-era bomber plane.

>>69207
Well it would be nice if they were at least as creative as them.

Point: no person has ever been an alumni, only an alumnus. Otherwise, ballza on yeh. You just just reminded me of those "alumni" license plate covery thingies. I'm mostly just surprised how common that mistake is considering the Greek connection to this stuff.

People like it because it builds a sense of community and belonging, and those connections last a life time. For a lot of people that role falls on family, like for me; I'm indian and we place a huge importance on family and sticking together(this doesn't necessarily apple to all indians, it's a huge and diverse country). So any time I need help, I can go ask one of my cousins and they'll do everything in their power to help me, even if I haven't talked to them in a year. Being in a frat provides that. When you're in the business world and you have a problem, you can always turn to another alumni and they'll probably provide a reasonable amount of help. Seem great, huh?

Well the problem is when you're at an institute like an ivy league school where the rich have a huge and advantaged have much more luck than poor people. I read once than only about 10% of people in iyy league school come from single-mother households. They just don't have to resources to prepare their kids to go to the top of the academic world. So what ends up happening in these frats is a lot of rich kids with rich parents end up together, and then when they get out into the business world the stay together. And then their kids do the same thing. So the rich people stick together and help each other out to ensure they stay at the top, and the really poor people end up being even more disadvantaged because in addition to a lack of money they also have a lack of connections. And then this group system obviously needs people to be similar to function well, as there's no reason an big business head would want to help a anti-corporate entrepeneur, so it encourages those people at the very top with the most resources to do exactly what everyone around them is doing. It destroys creativity and free though. It's fucked up, this whole system.

And the fact that that the rape stuff has been happening, is a nail in the coffin IMO. If frats have developed a rape-enabling culture nationwide, it's clearly a problem with the system itself. Time to throw it out the window and innovate.

My friends outside of school are hard as fuck to get to do anything organized. If you wanna have a 21 cup pong tournament, beer olympics, and patronize some dude who knocks on your door selling weed ice cream, by all means join a fraternity. Life in the house will be unlike anything you have ever experienced, unless you have lived in a really big house.

Something happens to the human brain, your tribal instincts return. You find that the community organizes itself based on each particular talent. If you become a leader, it is much similar to playing a game of dwarf fortress. Brothers will get crazy, violent, sad, pledges die, and it's your job to clean up the mess.

And you can't knock the connections made, that will surely ensure business deals and future earnings. Well, as long as you towed the party line. You did tow the party line, right?

Most of them are for fun. The fraternity I'm in is only for STEM folk, so having a group of guys you hang out with who've been through the same classes as you is pretty helpful. We are a pretty nerdy group, so we don't party as much as we LAN and we don't rape because none of us get laid. :/

I never cared about frats, but I knew some guys in them. They seemed like decent people. There are some frats full of douches, though. I don't know. I'm in my 30s now, so all of this seems stupid and silly.

>>69236
This sums up a ballza portion of continental philosophy. Then again I really wouldn't begin my journey in philosophy reading Nietzsche. I'd berate you for saying it's all a scam but then again I sat through enough Derrida lectures to know better.

Why not try to look into logic or ethics? Logic can feel a lot more like math especially when you get deeper into it, but the learning curve is more linear and if you like to debate it certainly helps to understand how and why a statement is false. You don't need to learn a lot of buzzwords outside your first introduction on the subject, but it's a bit more work than your typical philosophy reading. Ethics is arguably better geared toward real world shit but in my opinion it's the least rewarding to learn.

At the end of the day, it's best to dive in to something that you enjoy and go from there. If you hate it and you can't focus on what they are talking about after two sentences than something is wrong and you gotta try to put things into context.

http://www.historyofphilosophy.net/

This podcast is godlike for helping you get the basic idea behind a lot of the earlier philosophy stuff if you are just getting into it, but chances are you aren't gonna find use for it. I just like to plug it whenever this kind of stuff pops up.

For some apt critique of Zizek, see this post on The Last Psychiatrist:
http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2010/09/the_legend_of_steven_colbert.html

>If you're having trouble with that line of thinking, you'll have trouble with his whole philosophy, aptly summarized on page 3 of the Introduction:

>[/i]In today's post-political democracy, the traditional bipolarity between a Social-Democratic Center-Left and a Conservative Center-Right is gradually being replaced by a new bipolarity between politics and post-politics: the technocratic-liberal multiculturalist-tolerant party of post-political administration and its Rightist-populist counterpart of passionate political struggle-- no wonder the old Centrist opponents (Conservatives or Christian Democrats and Social Democrats or Liberals) are often compelled to join forces against the common enemy.[/i]

>I'm not going to make the dozen easy jokes, I'll say simply this: when writing becomes so complicated that only the initiated can understand it, then it is meant only for them. Who is he going to convince by hyphenating every third word set? Nobody. It's masturbation, though considerably more difficult.

In other words, if you can't make sense of it, maybe it's because it just doesn't make sense. I too find that I love parts of Zizek and the rest is gibberish and it's generally because it is gibberish.

As far as Nietzsche goes, it definitely helps to have some context and guidance. Taking a philosophy course, maybe just an evening course at a community college, could serve you well with some basic groundwork for interpretation.

Alternately, just keep plugging away at it until you get something out of it. It's important not to look at these figures as infallible or something that you must understand - wear your critical-thinking hat - but read and think and try and think some more and read again. If Nietzsche isn't working for you right now, try Kant or Kierkegaard or Sartre or de Beauvoir or Camus or Adorno or whoever the fuck... see what clicks, then go back and try Nietszche again and see if it makes any more sense to you. Alternately, pick up a biography of Nietzsche to get a bearing on his life and the historical, political, and cultural context in which he was working and then try tackling his texts.

>making sense
>throws books in fire

First give us an example of what is confusing you.

>>69238

The analytic/continental divide is bullshit and is purely arbitrary in its labeling. If you think that you can express these ideas more clearly and concisely, then by gosh you should be a philosopher yourself. Sadly I think it's more likely that you read a passage, concocting a half-baked paraphrase of it as you go, and call it a day rather than bothering with any intricacies.

>>69875
The "yell at the screen week" thing is something I would almost certainly include. Show some old slasher films and movies that people can hate. I do know that getting an alcohol license is a huge headache, not to mention having to actually deal with drunks (rather than just being a bystander watching them) is rarely fun. Costumes would have to be a ballza addition.

>>69886
I can confirm that the workers at the alamo drafthouse hate when "The Room" screens there for exactly the reasons you described.

I will gladly donate like $20 to showing Robocop on the big screen.

My roommate in college used to organize movie viewings. All you need is a projector and a large open space (plus a white board or something). We had a bunch of chicks show up and they lasted until the bathroom scene in trainspotting (he always showed trainspotting, every damn time.)

Anyway I'd start out showing movies for free, to see if anyone actually shows up. This works best in a college town.

A few civilizations seem to look to the past with rose colored glasses. I know that the Greeks felt that the history of the earth comprised of 5 ages, and that they were living in the shitty Iron Age. Maybe the people who made these creation stories looked at their squalor and just assumed that things were better in the past.

>>69901
If you think of it more from a negative view of humanity it makes sense, people need wisdom just to live without killing themselves or others but they don't want to accept wisdom at face value most of the time, whether you live now or in ancient Judea. So you have to wrap it up in a bunch of bullshit mysticism and cute stories just to get them to swallow.

One can question the actually wisdom it teaches, of course. If you under cook pork it can kill you, so some guy noticed that a lot of idiots died or got really sick due to undercooked pork and instead of trying to explain to them that it's bad, they create some scary motherhooligan in the sky who will kill you if you eat pork, or at least be very mad. If you have tons of sex with a bunch of people, you can get a disease that can kill you or make you insane. So, you're better off just fucking one person your whole life because they didn't have birth control or protection back then. Again, people don't listen so you create a murderous overlord to keep them from doing it. You can say what you want about God, but the fear of him has likely saved countless people. It might have killed a whole lot of people as well, but you can't blame old Abe or Moses for that as much.

Jesus was just a political radical in a time when religion was politics, he hated the corrupt Jewish politicians/political leaders who were selling out their own people to the Romans for cash while still asserting bullshit moral authority.

The middle east was a confusing hodgepodge of differing ideas and ideologies that often caused tensions and problems, people claiming to be prophets for personal gain, even more corruption, etc. and Islam was meant to be the "last word" and definitive ideology, a book from god himself blending elements from all the regional traditions and traditional wisdom of the time.

>>69895
That's basically what the Gnostics thought. They believed the God of Abraham was actually Satan in disguise (so they believed all other Christians worshiped Satan because they were dumb). They also thought that the Tree of Knowledge was like uh planted by Sophia, the True God's aspect of wisdom. As you can probably guess, this is why gnosticism wasn't looked upon kindly.

I wouldn't trade it for anything. You can't have a reasonable discussion on the mainstream chans without having to babysit the thread all day. I like to post something thoughtful and let it simmer.

Didn't we use to have a torrent tracker or at least a files database at one point? I feel like most chans had a filesharing phase. Am I right in assuming this caused legal trouble?

I'm still interested in the eclectic tastes of the userbase here. Anyone wanna get a sharing room going? https://volafile.io/r/V4Wmgo

Honestly, I'm surprised this site's still here.

It has been more years than I care to admit since last I visited these shores, and now that the winds of fate have driven me here once again I find that my beloved /norse/ has disappeared, seemingly without a trace. Tell me ballza sirs, I must know, if it truly no longer resides here in the realm of Midgard, did it at least meet its end in glorious combat?

Shit I've never been to jail :( Although I'm the native equivalent to harold from harold and kumar so I tend to be laughed at by my own people. White people like my hair and think I'm mystical and stoic.

Yes, and it really depends on where the natives are from. My experience comes from natives around fort sill but in general military base people suck.
