I miss the animation age ghetto, tbh, this new Japanese hate is way more annoying.

That shit was always objectively a bad idea, anyone who bought into streaming games should never have been allowed to be in charge of their own money to begin with.

Man Russia sounds awful, i could find a fully naked party to attend tonight without paying a dime.

A room full of crazy best girl

Ever play a TTRPG? Give it a try, if you live in an actual civilized place you probably have a local game store and they almost certainly host games. If you live in absolute nowhere like me you could probably find local groups online. And to be clear I’m not talking about dungeons and dragons, despite what people say the ruleset isn’t new player friendly (it’s complicated, the books are poorly edited, missing rules, it’s expensive, etc. etc.).

Try out World (or Chronicles) of Darkness, at a base level they are easier to understand than any other ttrpg i have ever played (with lots of room to get more out there as you play) and it’s got a large community (as far as niche hobbies go). Oh and it’s cheap, Chronicles is best about respecting your money, but generally you only need to buy a single book (the rulebook for the creature you are playing as).

Pathfinder is also a good choice as the second most popular ttrpg and they offer their rules for free online. the second edition is simpler but it does front load a lot of information on you at once (which is a good thing, you won’t have to go looking for edge case rules that don’t exist). First edition is also really good, but it’s more complicated and you might be less likely to find games since the second edition came out.

War gaming could also be a good way to meet people, but i don’t do that as much so i have less recommendations to offer, I’m afraid.

No idea what’s going on here but i think I’m into it

Red, easy. I was raised by total red necks (heh), complete hicks, and it did give me bottom of the barrel ideas about what i wanted to be. I could have healthier habits and work towards a better self earlier. Money? I’ll just be an early Bitcoin adopter and make all the cash I’d ever need. Hell if it came down to it i could make money on the dark web and use my age as a shield and tool. Friends? I could cut out bad friends early and find my future friend group whenever i want, I’d probably even have an advantage since I’m way more of a nerd now (see that first point).

Yeah, you can do that. Bitcoin is anonymous and you could earn it relatively easy when it first came out. If you want to get real fucked up with it you could make even more by appealing to those early black markets and use your age as a cover, but that’s risk.

When a single journo phones in an award it’s called fucking up, when it’s an entire community it’s a meme.

No, we all got that, but it doesn’t make your comment any less stupid

That really isn’t what that phrase means, taken for granted just means people thought it was a normal part of life. It’s taken for granted now that we don’t have metallic skin and electric eyes, but if we are lucky that won’t always be the case.

It is genocide

By that logic the Internet shouldn’t have safe spaces, and i agree with that statement thanks. If you can’t handle something, go somewhere else. I don’t like nazi posting so I’m not on…parlor? Is that a thing or am i thinking of something else?

Honestly, the government should reclaim the land you live on, for good money and after building better population centers of course. Not that people couldn’t move back after some amount of time had passed, but i doubt most would if they felt what it was like to live in an actual civilized society for once and being that rural should be a major outlier.

I live rural too, so I’d know how poorly that’d go over with the hicks, but i do genuinely think a restructure of society like that is necessary.

Or it could be solved by good city planning. Or hell, even bad city planning, just not this down right malicious shit we have now under car culture.

No? They do this routinely, there are lots of videos out there of cops heading panic attacks and blaming fent.

Good riddance. All an instance acting like a walled garden does is hurt the entire space, and that doesn’t just apply to beehaw.

Side note; what the hell do you have against serial experiments lain? It’s weird that it’s on the list thrice, and I didn’t even know there were new sites about lain, so thanks for that i guess.
