>>3100 >the mechanic of giving the HG her own personal slave to play with just... kinda ended up squicking me out I rarely feel compelled to play optimally, and I feel like these kinds of things aren't really required anymore based on my understanding of the current game meta. A subordinate slave for the head gal can make her a little more effective, but the majority of slave training was being done by the MC anyway, so I never felt like the buff was mandatory. >nor in the whole obliged-to-feed-through-dildos genre of fantasy (I did end up enabling that, though, because it was mechanically advantageous) The dildo suppositories/feeding increases resistance in unbroken slaves which is when breaking is hardest with the main benefit being giving them oral/anal fetishes, when the fetishes I want to induce are pregnancy in the daughter harem, submissive in most slaves, and role specific fetishes for leaders like the head teacher and head of the servants’ quarters. > Then the rest were usually the "working" slaves, who'd be out doing all the usual mechanical roles like whoring, slutting, and whatever else. I only did that because it was necessary I’ve found I now never have to whore a girl out, ever. I usually put the MC into hacking background and spend a couple early weeks building wealth with that so I can buy a weapons factory. You gain passive wealth as a percentage of how much cash you have on hand (it used to be the opposite, this change was a big deal for me), and porn income builds over time per girl. In short order I'm raking in enough money to cover expenses and then some, and I use leftover cash to buy menials and upgrades for the factory until I can make a slaving corporation to make me oodles of cash and fuel the more expensive stuff like the rapid aging tanks. And I play on the highest economic difficulty; if you play on lower difficulties it makes this easier to have a raunchy, fun time with less worry about optimal play. I like the gameplay so I like the challenge, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with playing on easy so you can have more fun. Games should be fun, after-all. >I remember there was also an event where the in-game AI assistant offers to make itself more approachable by adopting a more self-aware female persona, and when that happened I kinda half-projected into it for a while I actually insert my best friend into that role! I name the AI after her and together we help run the harem, train the girls, and keep our man satisfied. it feels more appropriate for a friend, because later on that AI starts thinking of the suite's sex toys as extensions of herself, so she's fucking the other girls and I don't get to do that. Instead, I'm denied in the corner with both holes in chastity, getting artificially inseminated while all the other girls get to enjoy my man's dick. It's heaven. >I felt like most of the game's fetishes just slid right by me, though. Same, but the general vibe of harem building really does it for me. I have a strong mothering drive though, so the idea of taking in these downtrodden gals displaced by war and famine, healing their injuries, sometimes replacing lost limbs, uplifting them to where they can work a job (for no pay, but still full room and board) maintaining the crown jewel of this technological marvel and get to suck on the master's crown jewels at the same time, that just feels right and just. They're slaves, yes, but being property doesn't exclude them from being people. I don't sell girls on unless it's to a good life, like a mercenary wants to marry them and they buy out their slave contract, or I need more room for my daughters, so I send some others girls to another arcology where they'll be treated well, re-rolling bids until I get something where she'll be treated right. I never sell my daughters, but there are plenty of gals who come in via event, and I'll pick up indentured slaves sometimes because at the end of their term they beg to be enslaved because they love my man so much. That little event always pulls at my heartstrings and grows the harem.

>>3102 >>3103 (Cont.) >I'm guessing you chose one of the incest-focused future society options? I don't, actually! The incest focused one has a strong focus on slaves in incestuous relationships with eachother, and that detracts from the focus on our shared man. It also leads to events where old-world incest couples apply to become slaves, hoping to protect their relationship. While I support their relationship, those people have no place in the harem. Wish I had an option to sponsor them as citizens, but I’m too lazy to write that. My societies are paternalism, slimness enthusiasm, youth preferentialism, neo-imperialism, with the fifth as a toss-up between gender fundamentalism, slave professionalism, and chattel religionism. I run paternalism because as noted above, these girls are people. They deserve an education, a bed to sleep in, and a roof over their head. They serve because they adore the MC, and I aim to have them all emotionally bonded to him. I only allow my daughters and I to marry him, but he can avail themselves of the servant girls all he wants, that's his right, and they get to bask in his glory too. Slimness enthusiasm because I'm a normal gal with pretty normal assets, but I love the idea of my (imaginary) man getting it on with trim, athletic chestlets. That gym bunny you see on the treadmill effortlessly flying through miles? That kind of gal. You know she can ride his dick all day and just keep going. Youth pref because guys like younger gals, that's just science. It also opens science options where I can stop physical aging, so we can all be young and hot forever. Neo-Imp improves military power and has hierarchical power structure flavor that I like. It'd probably be better named as neo-feudalism, but of all the revivals it's the most palatable to me because it doesn't come with any racial overtones (I don't care for all that) and has easy requirements: have money and be trained in warfare. I plop the arcology in Germany and call it the Neo-Hanseatic League. I don’t have strong feelings for a fifth, gender fund gives bonuses for preg girls and makes more ladies show up in slave events, and I don’t keep boys in the harem so that suits me fine. Slave prof likes smart girls, I educate my girls, it’s a good fit. Religionism uses religion to gain legitimacy for the regime; this is historically a strong source of legitimacy for governments and I’m a religious girl, but it doesn’t make it in regularly because I like letting the girls dress themselves and under this one they always pick the same outfit. Sometimes I pick multicultural because I can’t be assed to pick a fifth. >What sort of things have they added? It’s a fair deal now. The original project was to add more pregnancy flavor and options for hyper pregnancy with way too many babies in one womb. That mod merged with loli mod, which is appropriately named. The scope has expanded with time, they added more future societies, new events, they redid the game in JS so it runs better, improved mod content for militarily defending the city from outside forces, added a private military corp to expand your sphere of influence, added genetically engineered catgirls, horn implants, prehensile tails, and other stuff I’m sure I’m forgetting right now. They removed a bunch of the surprise anal stuff because for some reason hgg hates that shit and sees removing it as a huge improvement. I don’t really get it, but if you’re in that camp you’ll like those changes. The current main advance being worked on it making the MC a real character with all the variables that a slave currently has, which opens up a ton more customization options for him and helps him feel more real. I like playing dress up on the girls and being able to have more control of the MC stats makes him feel less like those blank face self inserts in hentai, but that content is all WIP right now. The underage and hyperpreg stuff is all behind super easy toggles, so I just turn it off and benefit from the preg content I like and all the other stuff without having to engage in my squicks. With the main branch no longer being developed, they are keeping a game I love alive and I'm so appreciative for that. >Once a girl is promoted to Concubine she pretty much stops existing as far as the game's events and descriptions are concerned.

>>3103 >I rarely feel compelled to play optimally, and I feel like these kinds of things aren't really required anymore based on my understanding of the current game meta. Oh, that's interesting. I think the reason you used to have to do it was because it gave the HG an extra action? The last time I played was years ago, so my memory of why and when I did any given thing is a little hazy. But I do remember the initial establishment stage being a little dicey, in that it was very easy to fall into debt and lose the game if you didn't get whores on streets ASAP. >dildo suppositories/feeding increases resistance in unbroken slaves which is when breaking is hardest That makes sense. I think once I had a well-established prison block, I established rules for the prison/spa/school that took care of the initial breaking and basic training for me, so the feeding and medicine weren't an issue. Oral and anal fetishes were, of course, useful for the working slaves to have. >the fetishes I want to induce are pregnancy in the daughter harem, submissive in most slaves, and role specific fetishes for leaders like the head teacher and head of the servants’ quarters Aside, even though the whole exponential daughter-harem thing isn't a fantasy I'd enjoy at all, I find myself admiring your commitment to it. >I’ve found I now never have to whore a girl out, ever. I usually put the MC into hacking background and spend a couple early weeks building wealth with that so I can buy a weapons factory. You gain passive wealth as a percentage of how much cash you have on hand (it used to be the opposite, this change was a big deal for me), and porn income builds over time per girl. Sounds like playing outside the old standard whoring route is much easier now. It never really did make sense to me that an arcology owner would be deriving most of his income from prostituting out a (relatively small, compared to total arco population) stable of sex slaves even though he's the lord of a self-contained city-state. Like, shouldn't the arcology itself be the source of most of his wealth? Moving a lot of the basic investment in the arcology to the earlier game makes a lot more sense. >later on that AI starts thinking of the suite's sex toys as extensions of herself, so she's fucking the other girls That's right, I remember that part now! I think that was when I stopped identifying with her since I'm not at all interested in fucking the other girls - that's my man's job. >denied in the corner with both holes in chastity, getting artificially inseminated while all the other girls get to enjoy my man's dick. It's heaven.

>>3104 >>3107 (cont.) >The incest focused one has a strong focus on slaves in incestuous relationships with eachother, and that detracts from the focus on our shared man. I had a little look over on /hgg/ and saw that all development is being done under the PregMod name, like you say. Seems a little surprising that someone hasn't yet added some kind of future society option that's based on the kind of family harem arrangement you made, what with the game having so much pregnancy content added so much care taken with the growing tanks to allow offspring to reach maturity within the game's timeframe. I mean, that has to be a fantasy that some of the other players also have. >I run paternalism because as noted above, these girls are people Sounds like you run it for the same reasons I do. I've never liked the mutilated abused bimbo fantasy; I'd much rather my man be awash in a sea of intelligent, joyful, devoted other girls. I guess I still believe in happy endings. The one thing I disliked about paternalism was its outfit, which I seem to remember being kind of boring. Bunnysuits are the dress of true moral intellectuals in my man's city, thank you very much! >trim, athletic chestlets Can confirm that Energizer Bunnies make for delightful vixens. >Youth pref because guys like younger gals, that's just science. It also opens science options where I can stop physical aging, so we can all be young and hot forever. When you put it likethat, well, it's just natural! Plus I imagine it works well with your daughter-harem strategy. >Neo-Hanseatic League Anon. Playing complicated HTML sex slavery management games as fantasy fuel is one thing, but this... you... you nerd!

>>3107 >I think the reason you used to have to do it was because it gave the HG an extra action? Oh yea, it still does that, but I didn't feel incentivized to use it. I have to lose a whole girl in order to get that bonus, and in the early game I cant spare a girl for that. Later, when I can, I do more training with the MC and use the head girl for support. I guess I could give her a subordinate, I just don't. Probably because I'm bad >Aside, even though the whole exponential daughter-harem thing isn't a fantasy I'd enjoy at all, I find myself admiring your commitment to it. I've been playing this game for a long time, and over that time my fetish interests in the game have changed. in vanilla, impregnating your children isn't really possible given the game's time scale so I didn't even think about it. As the years have passed and more has been added I've had tons of time to iterate my gameplay style and find the fun, and I sure have found a lot of fun. The daughter harem is my favorite way to play, but I think the only playstyle I haven't tried is degredationalist since i just cant bring myself to do that. >it never really did make sense to me that an arcology owner would be deriving most of his income from prostituting out a (relatively small, compared to total arco population) stable of sex slaves even though he's the lord of a self-contained city-state. Far as I can tell, this has to do with the original author's fetishes. He was making a brothel management game, essentially, so it made sense to him. That's also why there are feminized men in the game as sex slaves, because he was into that, as well as the surprise buttsex thing. He even changed the slave diet to be all liquid so there wouldn't be any solid waste to get in the way of the surprise buttsex. I don't really care that he made a game to cater to his tastes, I know I would if I was making a game, but I'm also glad the game is easily moddable so things people don't like can be removed. >There's even artificial insemination? Like MANY things in this game, it's not an easy option to find. It's under the auto-surgery, lower body section. Pic related. >>3108 >Seems a little surprising that someone hasn't yet added some kind of future society option that's based on the kind of family harem arrangement you made Not to trust my crummy memory, but I don't think I've seen anyone express a desire for societal support for this. Also, most people who want stuff done just throw out suggestions rather than doing work to make it happen and I don't wana be a leech. Since I cant mod in JS yet I have to wait until I can learn the new system before I try to flesh that out.

>>3096 What does this have to with anything? Anyway, I wonder how many of these mental gymnasts get most of their beliefs from critics of Christianity, not the actual source materials. It could be as Chesterton says, that the vast majority are yet doing it in Christianith's shadow instead of from outside. A hindoo would be a much more honest critic.

>>2922 Well unfortunately it won't let me without an account.

>>3314 Well, newcomer, it's your lucky day, because I know a man who can hold forth on the "Philosopher" argument. https://youtu.be/sxYTxfiHGuk?t=15061 >I have called the fourth and final division of the spiritual elements into which I should divide heathen humanity by the name of The Philosophers. I confess that it covers in my mind much that would generally be classified otherwise; and that what are here called philosophies are very often called religions. I believe however that my own description will be found to be much the more realistic and not the less respectful. But we must first take philosophy in its purest and clearest form that we may trace its normal outline; and that is to be found in the world of the purest and clearest outlines, that culture of the Mediterranean of which we have been considering the mythologies and idolatries in the last two chapters.

>>3401 >fideism Why talk or attempt to reason about God at all if you're going to promote fideism? Just admit you're a dogmatist and that reason is of secondary value when 'thinking' about God. Silence is the appropriate fideistic response to rational discourse about dogmatic theological matters.

>>3402 Excuse me, are you the anon I was speaking to?

>>3402 As per GK Chesterton's definitions, >reason: the authority of man to think. >religion: something that commits a man to some doctrine about the universe; the sense of ultimate reality, of whatever meaning a man finds in his own existence or the existence of anything else; that which puts first things first; the power which makes us joyful about the things that matter; the responsible reinforcement of courage and common sense; a maid-of-all-work: a cosmic theory, a code of conduct, a system of artistic symbols, a fountain of fascinating tales; the telescope through which we can see the star upon which we dwell. >theology: the element of reason in religion; the reason that prevents it from being a mere emotion; simply that part of religion that requires brains. My question, then, is this: why does this man seem unreasonable to you? Why does he appear to you to bring reason out of her place as handmaiden of theology? As I see it, he does not. So I will ask you to explain yourself, and not rudely and crudely attempt to shut me up.

>>3392 >but if His acts are contingent then His acts are sufficiently explained by something other than Him and His will Why can't He be a completely arbitrary actor?

>>3396 Are you just a redditor?

>>3397 Nice argument, tard. You forgot to greentext my post with a soyjak.

>>3398 >tard Ah, and I see your vocabulary has already begun to degenerate. Ho hum. Anyway... >>3353 >"Evolution in biology," says Julian Huxley look him up, by the way, and behold the Cain to Aldous's Able, "is a loose and comprehensive term applied to cover any and every change occurring in the constitution of systematic units of animals and plants..." That there has been change in the constitution of species of animals and plants in the past is amply attested by the fossils found in the earth's crust; with the help of radioactive dating, they have been put into historical sequence with a very high degree of scientific certainty. Evolution, as a generalization within the descriptive science of biological change, can for this as well as for other reasons be taken as established beyond any doubt whatever. >The Evolutionist Doctrine, however, is a very different matter. Not content to confine itself to a systematic description of biological change, it purports to prove and explain it in much the same manner as proof and explanation are offered in the instructional sciences. This is a philosophical error with the most disastrous consequences. >"Darwin," we are told, "did two things: he showed that evolution was in fact contradicting scriptural legends ofcreation and that its cause, natural selection, was automatic with no room for divine guidance or design." It should be obvious to anyone capable of philosophical thought that scientific observation as such can never do these "two things." "Creation," "divine guidance," and "divine design" are completely outside the possibility of scientific observation. Every animal or plant breeder knows beyond doubts that selection, including "natural selection," produces change; it is therefore scientifically correct to say that "natural selection has been proved to be an agent of evolutionary change." We can, in fact, prove it by doing. But it is totally illegitimate to claim that the discovery of this mechanism--natural selection--proves that evolution "was automatic with no room for divine guidance or design." It can be proved that people get money by finding it in the street, but no one would consider this sufficient reason for the assumption that all incomes are earned in this way. >The Doctrine of Evolutionism is generally presented in a manner which betrays and offends against all principles of scientific probity. It starts with the explanation of changes in living beings; then, without warning, it suddenly purports to explain not only the development of consciousness, self-awareness, language, and social institutions but also the origin of life itself. "Evolution," we are told, "is accepted by all biologists and natural selection is recognised as its cause." Since the origin of life is described as a "major step in evolution," we are asked to believe that inanimate matter is a masterful practitioner of natural selection. For the Doctrine of Evolutionism any possibility, no matter how remote, appears to be acceptable as if it were scientific proof that the thing actually happened: <When a sample atmosphere of hydrogen, water vapour, ammonia, and methane was subjected to electric discharges and ultraviolet light, large numbers of organic compounds...were obtained by automatic synthesis. This proved that a prebiological synthesis of complex compounds was possible. >On this basis we are expected to believe that licing beings suddenly made their appearance by pure chance and, having done so, were able to maintain themselves in the general chaos: <It is not unreasonable to suppose that life orginiated in a watery "soup" of prebiological organic compounds and that lcing organisms arose later by surrounding quantities of these compounds by membranes that made them into "cells." This is usually considered the starting point of organic ("Darwinian") evolution. >One can just see it, can't one: organic compounds getting together and surrounding themselves by membranes--nothing could be simpler for these clever compounds--and lo! there is the cell, and once the cell has been born there is nothin to stop the emergence of Shakespeare, although it will obviously take a bit of time. There is therefore no need to speak of miracles or to admit any lack of knowledge. Iti is one of the great paradoxes of our age that people claiming the proud title of "scientist" dare to offer such undisciplined and reckless speculations as contributions to scientific knowledge, and that they get away with it.

>>3403 >>3353 >Karl Stern, a psychiatrist with great insight, has commented thus: <If we present, for the sake of argument, the theory of evolution in a most scientific formulation, we have to say something like this: "At a certain moment of time the temperature of the Earth was such that it became most favourable for the aggregation of carbon atoms and ocygen with the nitrogent-hydrogen combination, and that from random occurrences of large clusters molecules occurred which were most favourably structured for the coming about of life, and from that point it went on through vast stretches of time, until through processes of natural selection a being finally occurred which is capable of choosing love over hate and justice over injusticie, of writing poetry like Dante, composing music like that of Mozart, and making drawings like thoses of Leonardo." Of course, such a view of cosmogenesis is crazy. And I do not at all mean crazy in the sense of slangy invective but rather in the technical meaning of psychotic. Indeed such aview has much in common with certain aspects of schizophrenic thinking. >The fact remains, however, that this kind of thinking continues to be offered as objective science not only to biologists but to everybody eager to find out the truth about the origin, meaning, and purpose of human existence on Earth, and that, in particular, all over the world virtually all children are subjected to indoctrination along these lines. >It is the task of science to observe and to report on its observations. It is not useful for it to postulate the existence of causative agents, like a Creator, intelligences, or designers, who are outside all possibilities of outside observation. "Let us see how far we can explain phenomena by observable causes" is an eminently sensible and, in fact, very fruitful methodological principle. Evolutionism, however, turns methodology into a faith which excludes, ex hypothesi, the possibility of all higher grades of significance. The whole of nature, which obviously includes mankind, is taken as the product of chance and necessity and nothing else; there is neither meaning nor purpose, nor intelligence in it--"a tale told by an idiot, signifying nothing." This is The Faith, and all contradicting observations have to be either ignored or interpreted in such a way that the Faith is upheld. >Evolutionism as currently presented has no basis in science. It can be described as a peculiarly degraded religion, many of whose high priests do not even believe in what they proclaim. Despite widespread disbelief, the doctrinaire propagand which insists that the scientific knowledge of evolution leaves no room for any higher faith continues unabated. Counterarguments are simply ignored. The article on "evolution" in The New Encyclopaedia Britannica (1975) concludes with a section entitled "The Acceptance of Evolution," which claims that "objections to evolution have come from theological and, for a time, from political standpoints." Who would suspect, reading this, that the most serious objections have been raised by numerous biologists and other scientist of unimpeachable credentials? It is evidently thought unwise to mention them, and books like Douglas Dewar's The Transformist Illusion, which offers an overwhelming refutation of Evolutionism on purely scientific grounds, are not considered fit for inclusion in the bibliography of the subject.

>>3405 >>3353 >Evolutionism is not science; it is science fiction, even a kind of hoax. It is a hoax that has succeeded too well and has imprisoned modern man in what looks like an irreconcilable conflict between "science" and "religion." It has destroyed all faiths that pull mankind up and has substituted a faith that pulls mankind down. "Nil admirari." Chance and necessity and the utilitarian mechanism of natural selection may produce curiosities, improbabilities, atrocities, but nothin to be admired as an achievement--just as winning a prize in a lottery cannot elicit admiration. Nothing is "higher" or "lower"; everything is much of a muchness, even though some things are more complex than others--just by chance. Evolutionism, purporting to explain all and everything solely and exclusively by natural selection for adaptation and survival, is the most extreme product of the materialistic utilitarianism of the nineteenth century. The inability of twentieth century thought to rid itself of this imposture is a failure which may well cause the collapse of Western civilisation. For it is impossible for any civlisation to survive without a faith in meanings and values transcending the ultilitarianism of comfort and survival, in other words without a religious faith. >"There can be little doubt," observes Martin Lings, <that in the modrn world more cases of loss of religious faith are to be traced to the theory of evolution as their immediate cause than to anything else. It is true, surprising as it may seem, that many people still contrive to live out their lives in a tepid and precarious combination of religion and evolutionism. But for the more logically minded, there is no option but to choose between the two, that is, between the doctrine of the fall of man and the "doctrine" of the rise of man, and to reject altogether the one not chosen... <Millions of our contemporaries have chosen evolutionism on the grounds that evolution is a "scientifically-proven truth," as many of them were taught it at school; the gulf of understanding between them and religion is widened still further by the fact that the religious man, unless he happens to be a scientist, is unable to make a bridge between himself and them by producing the right initial argument, which must be on the scientific plane. >If it is not on the "scientific plane," he will be shouted down, "and reduced to silence by all sorts of scientific jargon." The truth of the matter, however, is that the initial argument must not be on the scientific plane; it must be philosophical. It amounts simply to this: that descriptive science becomes unscientific and illegitimate when it indulges in comprehensive explanatory theories which can be neither verified nor disproved by experiment. Such theories are not "science" but "faith."

Man, playing arcade games not in an arcade is not the same.

Here are some scriptures to lead you: >>3124 >Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray to the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. And the Lord said to Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looks upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. Numbers 21:8-9 >And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:14-15 >>3125 >But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.  1 Corinthians 13:10-11 >>3126 >So the prophet Elijah departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said to him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and cooked their flesh with the equipment of the oxen, and gave it to the folk, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered to him. 1 Kings 19:19-21

I'm in a somewhat similar situation. I couldn't handle people anymore, so I quit my job. I'm 31 years old and haven't gone outside in about 8+ years. My "mother" is extremely evil and always abuses me. What I've done is I've completely stopped sharing any emotions with my "family". They don't deserve my smile. Like God said, the only father you should have is Him, and the only other family you have are your brothers, the Sons of God, those few that have a soul. I NEVER smile when my "family" is around, and I always have a slightly angry face when they're around. What you've have to understand is that 99% of those that have ever existed are just flesh-golems. They have no souls, they only have evil programming. And you've got to learn how to work against their programming and change some of it. Like for example, I stopped smiling when there's anyone around. golems see smiling as a sign that they can attack that person. golems also don't treat anyone properly unless they can gain something from them, and if these golems know that someone has no power or anything to give them, then these golems inflict pain on them for their own pleasure and for stress-relief. I've gotten very aggressive too in my mannerism. It's a sin for a Son of God to be effeminate, and that's why I've gotten really tough. golems are incredibly afraid of me now. And I'm not just acting. I'm far more masculine than these golems could ever even pretend to be. These demons will fear you if you are with God. ALL the Sons of God go to Heaven. Just like God was destined to exist, so were the 144 000 souls that He created. We are on Earth to grow from a seed into a tree. We are here to exercise our free-will. Which means that we grow our soul so that we can fight against temptations. That is learning/growth. Once a Son of God dies, he goes directly to Heaven. There is no hell. Once you've fought against temptations, then you'll look back at them and smile at just how silly those things were, and you'll be glad to be out of the darkness and in God's light/teachings. We are all born as a seed soul. We are born in darkness and it's up to us to fight through the evils of the world. Of course we'll take part in some of them, but that's only because we're still growing and are being pulled into these sins by the golems. We are not these sins. These sins are opportunities to learn from and discard and be free. I hope that God helps you and that He steps in and takes control of the golems that are causing this much suffering to you.

>>3139 >golems Aha, so you are the one behind those bizarre posts. How did you acquire this reasoning?

Just be less fearful. Duh.

>>21834 Considering that the US of the time was trying to play anti-communist world police, it's highly likely the US may have at least marginally tried intervening, but it's unlikely with the US already distracted as much as they were that they would have been able to actually open up another front and the most the anti-communists in the territory would get would be sporadic arms assistance and special operations actions. That's just me talking off the top of my head, though.

>>21806 They could also rile up the Oirish Community in the US by telling them stories about the Anglos introducing the draft only to use the poor boys of the Emerald Island as bullet-catchers. Imagine if they conducted such an effective propaganda campaign that there are constant protests in New York, calls to boycott any company that does business with the British Empire, and so on and on.

>Germany does not participate in the 1895 Triple intervention at all >Kraut-Nip relations remain stable, they order more warships from german shipyards to build up the IJN than they did historically, though their pre-Dreadnoughts are still built in British shipyards >France loans several cruisers flying Russian flags with French crews to the Russian second Pacific squadron during the Russo-Japanese war, Admiral Rozhestsvensky puts the fleet under quasi-French command by putting French "observers" next to his more troublesome officers for much of the voyage in order to more effectively beat some morale and talent into his men >the Dogger Bank incident never happens and the Russo-French fleet can properly dock and resupply+train at French ports, as such they sail into Tsushima strait in noticeably better condition than they did in OTL and defeat Togo's fleet, albeit not decisively >Japan still wins the Russo-Japanese war but the peace treaty is much less favorable to them leaving both sides displeased at the outcome >the great game doesn't end Would the Japanese grow paranoid and try to build up a large fleet of Battleships to deter European great powers from invasion at any cost through German shipyards because the British don't want the IJN to grow uncontrollably while the Krauts want just that as long as the Japanese leave their colonies and Chinese concessions alone or would the loss of IJN prestige lead to internal conflict with the IJA? Could a possibly opportunistic/paranoid Japan at the outbreak of WWI in combination with more overt Franco-Russian colonial ambitions and Wilhelminic dreadnought wankery convince the British to remain neutral so as to not risk a two-front naval war against regionally competitive opponents? How would german-built Kongou in TTL's Kancolle be like?

>>3287 Broskis did you know the ducks at the park are free? You can just take them home, smh.

>>2896 Does that prevent us from participating? I know that riggers still gave updates when we first left the webring

>>2895 I don't think the 'ring rule matters that much anymore. Basically unless you're a bad actor or /leftypol/ you can probably participate. My issue is that we need to find SKF or a good host in his stead.

>>2897 I mean not just in a technical sense, Otterchat isn't aligned with the webring. It wouldn't be fair nor appropriate to still participate

>>2899 So what? /otter/ is one of the funnest teams and worthy of a place in the cup.

>>2916 "/otter/" implies an anonymous imageboard. Not sure if the admin of otterchat will keep those two traits after revamping the site. - if it doesn't, it fits just as badly as a runescape discord or your mom's facebook group. - if it does, I see no problem with allowing /otter/, regardless of whether otterchat is part of the webring and regardless of whether the admin supports the team. Even if the admin is the >normies get out reee type, there are otters (heh) who want to manage the icup team. And everyone could use a bit of cross-pollination across these absolute niches.

Calli was doing so good, and now all of that has been gone now and it doesn't help that she's defending a podcast full of ironic weebs. Fuck anitubers.

>>1162 What gets me is that this Connor guy had a video shitting on vtuber/idol fans and companies, which he later deleted (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR_oOcko-bg was the link IIRC, in case anyone can do something with it) This is a baffling hill to die on.

>>1164 Yeah, I think it might be this clip rescued from one of /a/'s VTuber threads. But really now: >shits on VTubers and idol cultures >had (has?) girls from HoloID and HoloEN lusting over him I really don't get all of this. Though I think Ame was the only exception, where she got annoyed with him to the point that she blocked him. And if this /animu/ post it's true, then that's just the kicker.

>>1165 Yeah, that's the one, thanks. The post is from me, and it's easily proven: There's a ton of clips of their "relationship" because it's what normalfags think is cute. Any one of them just looks like them joking around. But she's constantly "jokingly" flirting with him, and after a while you realize it's an ...unless? situation. It makes sense, she is a normalfag forced to live a robot life, that fucks them up emotionally. Him playing along though is just fucked up. No way he doesn't realize it either, he isn't autistic.

>>1164 What he and I suspect some of the people he's talking about don't understand is that waifuism is the new religion, and vtubers and idols are just an extension of that religion. We literally call them idols, after all, and people show up and give them praise and money for no reason at all. When vtubers come into the equation things get a little more complex, and if the object of worship breaks character then of course the viewers will get mad. They're worshipping the image, not the person behind it.

The Netflix League of Legends show Arcane has some relevant stuff. The main plot is about the sisters Vi and Jinx. They're both from the undercity Zaun which is oppressed by the advanced city Piltover. They get separated as children after a tragedy. Jinx ends up becoming a Zaunite terrorist basically. She discovers her sister Vi is still alive and has a hapa girlfriend, Caitlyn, who is an enforcer from Piltover. Caitlyn also has blue hair and blue eyes like Jinx. Jinx is obviously jealous and sees Caitlyn as her replacement. The other slightly cucky plot point involves the scientist Jayce and his black girlfriend Mel. At one point Mel's musclegirl mommy comes to town and summons Jayce while she's having a bath. She confronts him in a suggestive way while nude, leading to Mel telling her to stay away from him. The show is much better than you might expect from either League of Legends or a Netflix animation. I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot.

>>3109 What a considerate lady. Doesn’t strike me as a cuckquean though. The concern that her man’s reputation might be hurt if the other woman goes around broadcasting that she “got him to cheat” is definitely something we think about from time to time; it’s a real danger.

>>5841 Let me check. >Still the same shit Wowie.

This reminds me, how come the people who actually put out the half decent content take years to upload shit? Mauler's a long winded cunt sure but he was nice to listen to, E;R's pretty much fell off the internet, Voxis Productions seems to be in a perpetual state of illness or his PC dying on him and hackfraudmedia's also fell off the internet. The one thing these all had in common is that they were really nice background noise to listen to while doing something and someone like Voxis or E;R's humor was a nice change of pace too.

>>5863 I figure it's a combination of decent content taking time to make, how muuntube rewards putting out a ton of low effort trash and how muuntube punishes anyone that doesn't tow the party line. Imagine taking a month to write, record and edit something you think is amazing and a few hours after uploading it it gets demonetized and muuntube basically shadowbans the video all because you said or showed something that the bots thought was wrong think or because you were already on the naughty boy who said Trump wasn't literally Hitler list. And then when you go to appeal it your appeal gets rejected immediately by some fat blue hair who bother didn't watch the video. I figure it would be hard to keep the motivation to continue.

>>5862 >gets the same amount of views on every video good cattle

>>5867 It amazes me he still has an audience after two years of what seems to be the same content. You look up at posts made in 2019/2020 in this thread at his thumbnails and he's still selling the same WOKE IS OVER IN HOLLYWOOD, SJWs DEFEATED IN HOLLYWOOD, KATHLEEN KENNEDY IS TOOTHLESS drivel.

Trying to get back into drawing again. If anyone has some advice for drawing legs I'd appreciate it. For some reason I've always been bad at drawing them.

>>1336 Found a page on legs laying down from figure drawing from all its worth. I don't know much about how to draw legs. but regardless its looking phenomenal overall. Probably say Legs could be wider in width, fatter. Right heel longer touching the hip. Right elbow longer. Waist narrower and head longer.

>>1279 Yeah but there is one underlying issue I have I feel like I only figure draw because I want to fit in to life drawing classes but I know deep down I don't stand a chance to fit in with these sort of people. Think I want to just pursue my own art that I feel I want to do for fun whatever that is that I find at least I know that its my choice and that I want to do it for myself. Just feel empty doing figure drawing I just don't see an end goal I see one with loomis books

Hmmm. Shall this board do anything for the Lent this year?

>>15383 Thanks! Everything seems to work well. I've selected a low bitrate as requested.

Hi, me and other guy from a latin board called /ac/ from another IB (the board where they streamed cartoons during the last christmas event) are hosting a podcast so we would like to use your radio service, can we do it eventhough we don't have a board here? The podcast is going to be mostly about animation and animation related image board culture and maybe we might roleplay from time to time. Everything in spanish, so I hope that won't be a problem.

>>15428 Which imageboard would this be? We don't see an /ac/ board anywhere on the webring. If you'll pardon the question, aren't podcasts usually posted as recordings to be downloaded later, hence the "pod"?

>>15429 Thanks for answering. This is the board I'm talking about https://www.hispachan.org/ac/ Regarding the project, me and my friend are going to talk any cartoon related subject live and the upload it to another server to anyone who missed the live transmision.

>>15430 Hispachan participated once on the /icup/ right? What if we invited them to the webring itself?

>>3042 Like a thief in the night, anon. And "can't" is a very different thing from "don't wanna."

>>3044 I've always wondered about what that could mean. At night, at least in Rome, Italy, everyone NEEDED to get home BADLY by night time, or be run over by slaves trucking goods on their back all over, so it stands to reason that a home invasion in the night would be impossible to miss. It was probably different in Jerusalem (better urban planning? Lower population density? Neither? I don't know how theives opperated back then in either Jerusalem or Rome. Anyone know how people went about stealing shit in 1st Century Jerusalem? Was Jesus referring to a home invasion or a mugging for his parable? I know, ultimatley, the time and hour remains unknown anyhow, but I'm curious.

Would it be worth having a thread on anti-Christian secret societies of note, such as the Freemasons and the Illuminati?

>>3291 It wouldn’t hurt. Might be worth getting some info together to get the thread on a strong footing like our Jew thread here

>>3355 Quite, dubsman. The Illuminati might be easier to get into in some ways than the Freemasons as they are not only defunct and dismantled, but the sum total of their schemes got written down and taken. With the Masons, it might be much easier to get into what their organization does outside the secrecy of their Lodges (unless I'm much mistaken).

>>2225 Peculiar men, like those who wish their women to resemble the female form, not farm animals. And I was mistaken, it must be your husband who is the dwarf. They're the only ones who like exploring such cavernous holes.

>>2227 Peculiar men like those who want to embrace immature younglings, taking away their innocence while not producing any offspring. Maybe I was too harsh, that's why you're offended, to the point of calling my husband a dwarf. No harm done, I'm fine because you'll never be able to enjoy motherhood since you're a tool to vent lust. After having kids, indeed you won't be as tight as you were when young and that's when elfs are useful. My job as female is done in keeping my species moving forward, my man can sleep with as many elfs he likes because by the end the day I'm the one he's in love with. So, keep crying chestlet!

Will the same size work?

>>3089 Symmetry can be nice.

>>2207 >>2210 >>2218 >They want to be "raped" in a controlled way, that's one way I can describe. It's contradictory, I know. In short they want a young looking, rich man that is not shy to use force to have his way with them. Hitting the nail on the head here. There's a difference between rape and ravishment. You want to be attracted to the guy, but you also want him to not care about what you want since it's all about what he wants. He has no control of his urges, you're just so desirable that he has to have you and he isn't going to take no for an answer. It just so happens that you want him too, so your interests are aligned here and that resolves the contradiction for me. I wouldn't say I have a rape fetish, I have a ravishment fetish, and I think the popularity of bodice rippers is evidence I'm not alone. But what the fuck do I know, I'm a worthless cuck anyway.

The Qur'an narrates the true story of the Ahl al Kahf. The circumstance that this story may have been mentioned before in similar forms doesn't detract from it at all.

>>2195 >I avoid modern movies like this Nothing modern about it. In fact it looks better than any modern film just from art direction, cinematography and editing point of view.

>>2196 I meant "like the plague" but didn't proofread my post. The fact that it doesn't look like a modern movie is why it appeals to me.

>>90 >Szürkület was restored by the Hungarian National Film Fund >>94 >Good news: I've reached out to them and they are gonna launch a VOD site soon with all the restored films. If you're still around, what happened? There's still no upgrade for Szürkület. It's interesting to compare that film to It Happened in Broad Daylight which was an earlier adaptation of the same story. That film is less moody and ambiguous than Szürkület. It includes additional story elements like the detective living at a gas station as a ploy to catch the murderer.

Anons we're dying out, need some plan.

>>2299 It's getting very tricky, honestly i've seen many places losing numbers or simply not interacting as before. I think everywhere not the big sites is suffering, centralization made the activity-addicts stick with anything in terms of quality and the small sites do need some activity to maintain themselves. Hell, even ZOGbook lost tons of numbers in favor of WA and IG, which abruptly focused on chat and stories rather than its original photography-oriented gig. The only option i can think of after trying some tactics is just plain shilling in other sites, the advantages are still on this site but most everyone prefer going to the numbers, after all most everyone likes the feedback but perhaps the problem is most people are becoming more passive. I don't know anymore, i stopped coming as constantly because i got into the waveslaving to feed myself after getting my gibs canned due to the pandemic.

>>2292 They're probably in the process of selecting a distribution company to release it on physical media or even a theatrical run. Kino Lorber recently announced a Miklos Jancso boxset so I believe there are a few companies trying to acquire rights to them.

>>15418 Glad to see it Admin, thanks for the update.

>>15418 I was worried. Glad to see the site back.

Let me know if I can be added in and I'll reply with the account I use on this site. Much love to you friend.

>>21895 >that nobody should wage war ever. And edgy Streloks are so used to creating fanfiction that they forget that the majority of wars involve maybe a few hundred dudes, none of this complete annihilation shit. >Balkans example Because every country on earth is a former Mongolian (later Turkish) vassal state made up of several ethnic minorities that never got along but were forced to work with each other for a few centuries to avoid genocide, right? >If a war broke out between these nations Then a war would break out between those nations and it would need to be judged based on their cultural values etc. IIRC I was reading articles just a few years ago about how the Balkan populations are the most at-peace with each other that they have been in centuries right now because the Internet lets them get their angst out and realize that everywhere is a shit hole. Consider that Pakistan and India were working together on a civilian level during this Chink Flu pandemic even though their governments claim they hate each other. Misery makes for interesting allies. All of that is to say, not every war is about genocide you dumb fuck.

>>21895 Don't get me wrong, in such situations war crimes make more sense but as you yourself pointed out not all wars are like that, not all wars require such levels of violence.

>>21726 Firstly, don't reinvent the wheel, use preestablished materials to get the club started at first. Group uniform, customs, and culture are all details that can be worked out latter, but actually getting a youth organization up and running cannot be delayed if that is your goal. Luckly there is a lot of material for this: As for books: >1967 edition of the Boy Scouts of America Handbook. It is one of the last Boy Scout Handbooks edited by Green Bar Bill Harcourt, and arguably one of the best. (file too large to link but you can find it online) >Scout Masters Handbook - 5th edition simply invaluable, all else is fluff as far as books go >Handbook for Patrol Leaders I forget the edition, should be 5th or sixth >merit badge books anything goes.

Is fire Alpaca any good as software? Also, one there one program that was only to mkae Ink-like drawings? (forgot the name)

>>1327 > Is fire Alpaca any good as software? Don't know. Wouldn't touch proprietary software. > Also, one there one program that was only to mkae Ink-like drawings? What would evem be a program dedicated to ink drawing? While using Drawpile someone once told me that it feels like I'm drawing with ink. Krita, GIMP, both support basic full opacity brushes. Although I always recommend Krita, because it has a focus on drawing and painting.

>>293 >Bad luck with lenses aren't we Tell me about it lol. Also the chip came desoldered when I unglued it. It was a crappy chip anyways, it reported everything as f/1.4. (This is me coping because it worked decently enough, but it's a silver lining nevertheless). I had never realized how expensive the original dandelion was, I can get 9 chipped programmable adapters from China for the price of one dandelion chip alone. >flares Funnily enough video was all I had in mind (I'm a video first stills second type of guy generally speaking). Video related, the flares in my opinion add to the characters' situation. They are experiencing some physical phenomena (I want to avoid spoiling, it's from Deadwax) and the flares highlight their detachment from the natural world. I very rarely notice bokeh shape outside of very bright objects, but maybe it's my lack of experience. I do notice the swirly nature of Helios and similar lenses, though. >Random snaps or something more degrading but they do have their skills when trying specific shots in specific places. Oh lol. I get what you mean now. He mostly relies on the long lenses blurring enough to make his subjects a bit more isolated from the busy backgrounds but there's only so far you can get with an APS-C camera (and he favors that paparazzi aesthetic so he doesn't even shoot wide open sometimes). >I remember someone in the 8 version of the board using that to refer to american protests lol, fits nicely and i've used it often in public and predictably some people don't like it. top kek >The devil himself, that's a great example to be fair, DoF changes drastically at times yet the exposure remains solid. I don't know that much about video editing but pretty cool to see it can be possibly done, and 7 years ago nonetheless. I hope for cheap because Gondry shenanigans i recall being more about very precise camera set ups than editing which meant more set manpower/money/assets.

I didn't know exactly where to put this but I guess it's gear-related. There's this music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0f0awOuz1k I was looking at it and I think the background around the 1:54 minute mark up to 2:01 seems to be greenscreened (the wall with its signs looks like it's some sort of graphic) yet the lighting blends in very well and it doesn't look out of place if you're not autisticly analyzing it. I also noticed there's no weird green casts that could come from reflections off the screen, and no weird halos either. How does one achieve this? I'm sure it has to do with the way you use the lighting but I'm greener than the screens when it comes to that lol

Hey buddy, how's the Sigma going :^)? Got some things going hence my downtime but they seem "stable" now, hope it still goes like this for a couple of months. >>298 >I very rarely notice bokeh shape outside of very bright objects, but maybe it's my lack of experience In moving pictures (da cinema/kinegraphy) bokeh quality is not that important other than serving the purpose to isolate your subject from a pretty distracting context without abstracting it that much, in theory in photography too but because one is eye raping a single frame usually some nitpick everything they can unless you are going to launder money with it. I know you know but honestly i've seen nerve-wrecking bokeh in old movies but because i took frames from it and checked later, it really is a no big deal and nervous bokeh sometimes works better when trying to abstract but give shape to figures like people in coats or machinery. If anything, like you said, a silky smooth obliterated background lowers the quality and perception of the context, a DSLR look. >I do notice the swirly nature of Helios You reminded me of a snap i took from a hong movie time ago, i only saw it because of an actor and the silly name of the movie and wasn't that good even for their "low" standards but was perplexed by a rare (for the studio-centric chinese) short on-field shot using a prime/single focal lens (taking into account they abused the only two anamorphic superzoom lenses they had a single focal was extravagant) along with proper non-overly saturated film process. I am used to massive distortions and large DoF so when i saw this i immediately noticed the swirling out of focus corners and vegetation. The Hongs were very capable of producing good compositions and moods, as seen 10 years later, but simply didn't because they rather churn tons of movies in studios and knew full well people saw these movies for the fights rather than the beauty of the moment. One day, one day i will make a thread about that genre. >Nutters gonna nut, lol. VP used to beef a lot with the nordic dude who eats raw meat, then tried the diet himself and then opposed it again. Dude has never cooked a steak in his life, either he eats adulterated ground beef at charred point or raw shanks and steaks (and he fermented chicken livers too). I always pester him in his videos that he should learn how to turn on a stove but oh well, can't expect canadians to learn cuisine. >milk guy from HWNDU Yes, that's practically the american version of the nordic dude, same behavior except the milkjar man doesn't have that flare the nord does when picking girls half naked in small towns on Europe. Everyone who obsesses over what and how to eat on a daily basis instead of their primary activity (work, hobby, family) is a silly goose, it's like going nuts about how to bath/shit or sleep. It's elemental to have it pinpointed but not plan everyday for it, it should be done on auto-mode hence why i love my new electric pressure cooker that i bought instead of the 55mm 1.2 out of my current predicament. Thought i would repent/cry but as a poorfag i now eat better than most people with good money, have to say my old /ck/ side won over the new /p/ one. >I was waiting for him to say "I'm just ahead of the curve" He said something along the line much later, he's a walking meme but lately he has been on a stump because not much cameras and his dieting has hit a dead end as he can't go carnivore due to being associated with podcast and streams about veganism and his very specific allowed ingredients are simply not good enough to sustain a healthy life (can't eat anything processed

So, after some cold times i tested/actually used the Stylus 1 in my daily intended scenarios, have to say i am really happy for having picked it over the Canon, a dude had the mk.II in my temporal work shift and the zoom speed is not as good which was crucial in some of my shots. My only complain is the lack of dedicated AF button but i seem to do okayish locking and unlocking focus with the switch. Review soon, one day... here's some memey shots i took with it ("street but it's in colour tho hurr" like someone told me), a fine grain pattern and cropping (to 8 or less mp) along with overexposing it a bit (while taking down the highlights later) give a distinctive enough look, don't want to say like film but certainly "different" without using heavy duty filters on post-process although i do use a grain pattern in some others. Not a fan of doing """street""" or Henribressonian snapping because, while it yields results sometimes, i don't have control of what comes to me nor how i want them to be captured, i just snap using instinct which some say it's a show of real ability but to me i feel like a fraud pretending to pass them as fully conscious and intended works as i cannot, like many others, replicate it consistently. There's a good Bresson and a bad Bresson, one wanted me to save money and increase situational rather than dramatic mood using non-actors while the other pretended to have me buy 2 or 3 rolls a day to get two or three usable shots.

>>305 >Hey buddy, how's the Sigma going :^)? It's back to stock until I get a new converter board lol, which I already ordered. Give it a couple weeks and I'll have it working in full capacity. >taking into account they abused the only two anamorphic superzoom lenses they had a single focal was extravagant wew, I didn't know they used superzooms in cinema. Always thought they were a recent development that catered to the paparazzi and casual shooters for the most part. Must be tough for cinema, they tend to be dark and you can't really play much with the shutter when filming. >Dude has never cooked a steak in his life, either he eats adulterated ground beef at charred point or raw shanks and steaks (and he fermented chicken livers too). I always pester him in his videos that he should learn how to turn on a stove but oh well, can't expect canadians to learn cuisine. Nice, lol. >It's elemental to have it pinpointed but not plan everyday for it, it should be done on auto-mode hence why i love my new electric pressure cooker that i bought instead of the 55mm 1.2 out of my current predicament. Thought i would repent/cry but as a poorfag i now eat better than most people with good money, have to say my old /ck/ side won over the new /p/ one. Tell me more about it, may be off-topic but sounds interesting. Is it very different to one you'd use on a stove? Must be pretty expensive if it was either it or a f/1.2. I just googled some and found they have some automated functions like the microwave's menus. >he bought chicken and tried to fry it on margarine in a small pan without breading it nor pre-cooking it so he ended up eating soggy greasy skin and pink chicken (because he failed to defrost it) plus didn't marinate it due to no condiments and blamed it on social constructs who make us addicted to meat, veggies are the way man our spirit demands it!. Also made a joke about black people being too prone to fall for it lol, that's why i keep returning, he is indeed a good comedian. top kek >>306

>>280 Done, found this one with a more illustrative example, no smirk tho which is a shame but can always go with the other one. Also lmao at this story from the prosecution, i missed it from the threads. The jews really screwed the dog with these silly lawyers in an already hard case, guess they jewed out of getting better ones.

>>291 >failed wedding photographer Top fucking kek, that exchange is imageboard tier. Rekieta had De Bruin on his show today and he commented on other shady stuff that went on. Also apparently what set Kraus off was the Matthewson during the break, he went into the court trying to get back at him by being hostile to Nathan. It was also revealed he's been on unpaid leave since that same day a couple went to his workplace and got into his face yelling that he supported a murderer. He hadn't mentioned it until another lawyer on the show asked him about the good and bad things that came after the trial. Rekieta will be donating the entirety of today's superchats to Nathan. Besides the unpaid leave thing he's undergoing therapy for both trying to better deal with the random hostile people who walk up to him and the traumatic events during the shooting itself.

Happy 2022, BO and whoever else may read this! Did some threads get pruned or was the catalog always this small? I have this weird perception that we used to have more threads, hopefully it wasn't something admin related.

>>302 Hallo there, "happy" 2022, i am having a really rough time due to new lockdowns shitting everything but at least i am still in the game of life. Taking pictures too but some stuff got in my way from taking many more i planned. >was the catalog always this small? I am seeing all the threads i recall, some have lots of different content so maybe you recall a specific part of them, also there has been some good conversations in the webring about photography so maybe also a memory from some of those came around. I still wonder where some of the cool photogs went, webring died a bit in these holidays and if some are having the same problems then no wonder, the game scaled in difficulty lately, i feel this sense i haven't felt in a long time that shit is going to get nasty soon-ish in terms of traditional social functioning and flow. But hey, as long as we can take pictures of it!

>>304 Are those pics yours? Loving the second one. >also there has been some good conversations in the webring about photography so maybe also a memory from some of those came around. That could well be it. >I still wonder where some of the cool photogs went, webring died a bit in these holidays and if some are having the same problems then no wonder, the game scaled in difficulty lately, i feel this sense i haven't felt in a long time that shit is going to get nasty soon-ish in terms of traditional social functioning and flow. Even on 4cuck things aren't as active as they once were. At least here we have some quality lol.

>>2095 What a joke, Satanists are so far up their own asses that it's not even funny anymore. Hope someone smashes this thing. Bless you, OP. And have a good day.

>>3308 put a can of thermite on its head and deface it

cuteee, it's like a baby weregoat Anyway, satanists are operating within the Christine doctrine, and indirectly promoting Christianity by embodying the antithesis of Christian ideals.

>>21998 As >>22000 mentioned, Asians eat soups as meals. Additionally while those powders taste good, they are basically salt and flavoring with only a little nutrition. Also I don't think you could make it with beef. Carabeef perhaps, but that would taste slightly different.

Anyone paying attention to the trucker situation in Leafland? /animu/ has been discussing it (see their meta thread) but I don't feel like digging through several meta threads.

Breyer Is Retiring in June October(?) so they can throw a new commie SCOTUS judge in right before the midterms! https://archive.is/r4KL6 Let's see how fast Republicans cuck out and let some woke feminist nigger tranny onto the seat. More legal stacking to keep the status quo in power. The fact that he is planning to retire right before midterms is pretty disgusting since they are going to use any Republican refusal to appoint a nigger tranny who hates the constitution as ammo against them in a losing race. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqX8vm9uDEQ

One of these two judges will be your new SCOTUS justice. Ketanji Brown Jackson >51 >Former Breyer Supreme Court clerk who in June was confirmed to join the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit >On September 5, 2014, in Depomed v. Department of Health and Human Services, Jackson ruled that the Food and Drug Administration had violated the Administrative Procedure Act when it failed to grant pharmaceutical company Depomed market exclusivity for its orphan drug >On August 15, 2018, in AFGE, AFL-CIO v. Trump, Jackson invalidated provisions of three executive orders that would have limited the time federal employee labor union officials could spend with union members, the issues that unions could bargain over in negotiations, and the rights of disciplined workers to appeal disciplinary actions. >On November 23, 2018, Jackson held that 40 lawsuits stemming from the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which had been combined into a single multidistrict litigation, should be brought in Malaysia, not the United States. >On September 4, 2019, in Center for Biological Diversity v. McAleenan, Jackson held that Congress had stripped federal courts of jurisdiction to hear non-constitutional challenges to the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security's decision to waive certain environmental requirements to facilitate construction of a border wall on the United States and Mexico border. >On September 29, 2019, Jackson issued a preliminary injunction in Make The Road New York v. McAleenan, blocking an agency rule that would have expanded "fast-track" deportations without immigration court hearings for undocumented immigrants. >On November 25, 2019, Jackson issued a ruling in Committee on the Judiciary of the U.S. House of Representatives v. McGahn in which the House Committee on the Judiciary sued Don McGahn, former White House Counsel for the Trump administration, to compel him to comply with the subpoena to appear at a hearing on its impeachment inquiry on issues of alleged obstruction of justice by the administration. McGahn declined to comply with the subpoena after U.S. President Donald Trump, relying on a legal theory of executive testimonial immunity, ordered McGahn not to testify. In a lengthy opinion, Jackson ruled in favor of the House Committee and held that senior-level presidential aides "who have been subpoenaed for testimony by an authorized committee of Congress must appear for testimony in response to that subpoena" even if the President orders them not to do so. Jackson rejected the administration's assertion of executive testimonial immunity by holding that "with respect to senior-level presidential aides, absolute immunity from compelled congressional process simply does not exist." Leondra Reid Kruger >45 >California Supreme Court Justice >On November 24, 2014, Governor Jerry Brown announced the appointment of Kruger to the California Supreme Court. Although she had no prior judicial experience before her appointment to the California Supreme Court, her selection was publicly praised by then-Attorney General Eric Holder, Obama's then-Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr., Obama's former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal, and former Solicitor General (under President George W. Bush) Paul Clement. >During her six years in the solicitor general’s office, Kruger argued 12 cases at the Supreme Court on behalf of the federal government. One of those cases was a high-profile dispute involving whether the “ministerial exception” to employment-discrimination laws – the idea that religious institutions normally have the sole right to determine who can act as their ministers – barred a lawsuit by a teacher and ordained minister who had been fired by the Lutheran school where she worked. Kruger argued that the teacher should be able to pursue her lawsuit against the school for alleged discrimination on the basis of disability. >Kruger’s nomination was not greeted with unbridled enthusiasm within California because Kruger was not a practicing lawyer in the state, was not a judge, and lacked trial experience. However, Kruger was rated “exceptionally well qualified” by the California state bar group responsible for evaluating judicial nominees, and in December 2014 she was confirmed by the Commission on Judicial Appointments, a three-member body that holds a hearing to consider and decide whether to confirm nominees to the state’s highest courts. The commission’s members included Kamala Harris, then the state’s attorney general and now the vice president of the United States. Kruger was sworn into office in January 2015, becoming only the second Black woman to serve on the California Supreme Court.

>>3280 Sounds pretty talmudic.

>>3281 It is. Islam is legalistic works-based salvation

>>2801 >The earliest surviving account of the Sira / Prophetic biography comes from Ibn Hisham, who was born 201 years after Muhammad allegedly died in 632. He apparently draws on Ibn Ishaq, whose account doesn’t survive. He was born 72 years after Muhammad died, and died in 767 AD. We can do better than that, actually. Ma'mar ibn Rashid lived from 714 A.D. to 770 A.D. and was the author of Kitab al-Maghazi. This is basically the earliest surviving biography of Muhammad. It is almost certainly legitimate, because ibn Rashid studied under the tutelage of ibn Shihab al-Zuhri (677-741 A.D.), who was an elite descendant of the Quraysh tribe connected with the highest levels of Umayyad society. One of the teachers of al-Zuhri was 'Urwah ibn al-Zubayr (died 712 A.D.). What makes 'Urwah so important is that his father was a Companion of Muhammad, al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam (died 656 A.D.) and his mother the daughter of the first caliph, Abu Bakr, and sister to Muhammad's favorite wife Aisha. That's a pretty strong and short isnaad from key Islamic figures to Ma'mar ibn Rashid. Worth noting too that ibn Ishaq had al-Zuhri as his teacher as well. Most of the key Islamic accounts are probably true in large part. We can't deny the idea that early Islam may have been more Christianized in some respects though.

>>3288 >almost Hmm?

>>3295 We're never going to be able to construct a logical syllogism that definitively proves anything in historical research, which is reliant on the reconstruction of unrepeatable events in the past. There's no strong arguments against the legitimacy of this document, especially given the connections of Ma'mar ibn Rashid to well-known figures. The reason why there is a dearth of written records about Muhammad in the beginning is because the Arabs scorned book-learning and were still mostly an oral culture, even in learning. Muslims would memorize hundreds and hundreds of hadiths, for example.

Whatever dude. You will start balding soon like all of us anyways. But the chicks you attract as a femboy will probably be kpoop stans, catfishing autistic men or some other cancer.

>>2560 Post your faminine benis, we'll see if you're a cute femboy

I pray ceaslessly for God to take the femboys away and give us more tomboys.

>>1742 Made a little too late i suppose but at least it was tried, from my part i am too busy trying to find a job to device some quality posts because i can't think of anything, i honestly forgot how to post in a video game board after years of not doing it consistently.

we can still do it

Looking for this

>>2293 Nevermind, found it https://biqle.ru/video/teo%20hernandez

>>2291 Thanks anon

Looking for Buddha Bless America (Tai Ping, Tian Guo) from 1996. if the version you have is the VideoCD, all I need are English subtitles. if it's available in any higher quality, I'd really appreciate it. The only subtitle link I can find is dead

If I like the films of Eric Pauwles, what else would I like? Essay films that aren't too dense and full of pretty imagery is essentially what I'm looking for

is this legal to download??/?

come back ICUP staff

>>2917 I'm always here, but I can't host, that's the big issue If I could I would have done so for the missing two competitions

I'd like to suggest adding certain things to that, or any similar, site: First, there's a old Bladerunner PC game which is absolutely amazing and should be mentioned. I read it's available again, since recently. Second, if you want to share pictures but don't have much bandwidth, then there are options like Bittorrent, just use them. I know, privacy, but downloading Cyberpunk pictures isn't really a rebellious or illicit act.

>>141 You mean the point and click adventure game? That one's great, it should be added. Pretty sure it's easy to get for free too. Cyberpunk seems to be heavily associated with privacy measures. Not necessarily insane shit, but stuff like scrubbing EXIF data has been mentioned before. A site to share images would have to have privacy as a part of it. Of course a better option would be for the /cyb/ chans to be more lively.

>>79 You've got a section about phones on your page, which is pretty schway. I was looking for something spyware-watchdogish for different OS for phones, especially with KaiOS in mind. That'd be interesting content imo, but I haven't found anything related to specifically KaiOS yet.

>>79 Are you still here? Quite a few of your links are broken, specifically the links to the Mega archives.

>>79 Thanks for keeping this up.

I'm constantly trying to figure out how to piece together the smallish resources I have (RaspberryPis, Beaglebone Black/Blues, Arduino R3s & Nanos) into distributed computing systems suitable for building my own robowaifu. I also spend time learning to program C++ for the same reasons. Seems like it's pretty much becoming a major focus in my life. I feel like if we all make a breakthrough with this tech, then /cyber/ will both be real, and at least slightly less dystopic. :^)

>>179 n-o-d-e has some pretty /cyb/ projects. I have been getting into self-hosting my own infrastructure. I run my own DNS, and Mail server. I also host a local DNS resolver to filter traffic (like a PI hole) , but I use BIND with DNS Response Policy Zones (RPZ) to block domains.

Alpine seems to be nice Linux distribution. It aims to be minimalist and uses open-rc. I might've finally found a save haven, that doesn't constantly stop working. My devuan install just stopped working, because NSA-san thought I was using Debian and didn't realize I use Devuan instead. So his glowware just exploded in my face and forced me to reinstall. That was the final straw. Alpine it shall be. musl-libc > glibc

Xorg running. Nouveau drivers running. (Just had to remove a bunch of crap in /etc/modprobe.d . Krita not compiled, because when using View --> Detach canvas the flickering goes aways and allows dwm to nicely tile the detatched canvas. :^D

Krita is still fucked. GIMP I PRAISE YOU

Another GIMP test.

>>21874 This just asks for some drunk retard to total a tank by using these grills for cooking.

>>21874 >>21878 >>21898 But yeah, why no ERA? It seems to be no issue to just stack layer of ERA on the roof.

>>21973 Strelok, everywhere on that turret that can have ERA already has ERA on it. Everywhere else is sensors, weapons, and hatches.

>>21975 I know, that looks like T72B 89'on first glance, that version has ERA on the turret. I was kinda joking, like instead of metal bars you put ERA on that umbrella thing. I guess I worded it poorly kek

>>21978 I'm no engineer, but I've learned that the usual answer to such questions is weight. I guess you'd have to use some rather thick and heavy bars to construct something that can bear the weight of those ERA bricks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uYTlWBYlUE >>1098 That was cute. The level of detail to props for each girl was surprising. Fan-made content can bring out some good stuff.

Fun fan animation.

>>1061 >>1104 these are cute, wonder if she makes them herself.

>>1110 Pretty sure she just asks some dude who did fan stuff originally. She talks about messaging the guy and discussing them back when she was confused people didn't like her being slapped. >>1107 I can only associate that with all the /pol/-tier edits now, heh, hopefully there's one for her eventually.

>>3243 Right back at you. What just happened?

>>3259 I'm not joking

How did Himmler get so obsessed with ooga pagay shit anyway?

>>1282 If your Loomis then who the fuck was the mod that ban me shit is so confusing oh well. I mean things seem to be taking a different direction for me I feel like I want to go through all the loomis books and looking through them all I stumbled across the illustration one and it made me think why am I so against color. Seem to be due to never using it I guess but I want to be actually able to do something with my art and my art is mostly based around doing it by myself like most things are and I just can't see myself actually doing figure drawing anymore it just doesn't have an end goal its just empty. Need to do some searching of myself and find the thing that I gravitate towards. It just digital art ain't my thing. I miss imageboards it's been i better overall experience for communicating. I feel like I cant be in more than one space at a time. We will see what the future brings

>>1284 >>1284 The Drawpile, 8chan.moe/loomis and anon.cafe/loomis are all separate-but-related entities with different owners. I won't say anything bad about or against the Drawpile host as he's provided us an invaluable service post-Harb and we've been comrades of sorts for many years, though I think this whole situation is certainly a shame. As I said though, if you do choose to stay over here ArtChad is a reliable and knowledgeable fellow who will doubtless help you improve no matter what your goals end up being.

>>1288 Kind of might go back on my word probably will continue figure drawing. No one really critiques my work really anyways I even critique my own work so it either happens or it doesn't. Water under the bridge with the drawpile thing it is what it is. Not really the big of an issue I am kind of over it now but at the time it happened it felt odd.

I agree.

I finally got over my ass and started drawing after many months and years saying so, only problem: I HAVE NO TABLET NOR SCANNER AND I MUST SHOW PRACTICE Still i am only going to practice the things i need for work, that is simple perspectives and 2D facades using de-tensing line work (squibbly irregular lines) in hatch/cross-hatch/circling but i got a bit into the rabbit hole of jewtube drawing tutorials and was newly perplexed at how skilled some people are and how "easy" it looks. I completely suck at anatomy so i will stick to objects until i get more time, which is fading due to having to learn some warez for upcoming work.
