I suppose one could measure worth in terms of variety, or effort one puts in a post
But realistically imageboards seems to serve two ends:
1. a place to express oneself when one no longer feels comfortable with their identity
2. a way to cultivate identity, or pass the time the same as any novelty machine, e.g. youtube, news, etc.

Nobody needs to feel obligated to make a post!
I myself do a terrible job of controlling my interests or meeting deadlines
We can just set a long-term goal to aim at, like 4 liters of water to drink every day, even if we'll never actually achieve it.

So at DPC we can discuss how one can do the 1 or 2 in a healthy way

>>1803
>how one can do the 1 or 2 in a healthy way
Hmmm...
One thing I liked from previous boards were when people posted images they came across that they liked.
Frankly I don't know how they find them so consistently

>>1805
>One thing I liked from previous boards were when people posted images they came across that they liked.
Imageboards are inseparable from images

Though I tried to promote original posts rather than readymade meme pics by providing the emotes I drew

I myself have been trying to take pictures in order to add something unique to this place but most of random pictures I took like this were consigned to oblivion before I post them

I'm still waiting for anyone who photographs a possum!

>>1836
You really did put in a lot more effort than most imageboard owners.
The emotes really make ikouchan a whole new place, and probably why I enjoy it so much

The possum picture is long overdue I must admit...
I will think about taking pictures!
I don't really like pictures because it's like, do you have to cart around this picture for the rest of your life?
How do people handle their photo storage?
Something like that: but maybe if you make the picture generic enough it should be okay.

I work for FBI!

wave your conductor's baton, my friend

>>1706
so upbeat, should be the theme of ikouchan

When I come across rap stuff it comes off mildly juvenile, but that juvenile nature is what makes it endearing
> Youth is happy because it has the capacity to see beauty.
> Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old

>>1013 well it's not that topic i guess. the same way people tell you to learn anatomy by picking a book or really observe, i guess i m just trying to get a better, more in depth understamding on rendering translucency? because i cant quite feel it out

>>1038
Definitely yes!

>>1013
There are some aesthetics with traditional art that are easier to achieve. Like how in old anime they could achieve very bright looking light easily because it was literal light shining through the glass.

I have never found a pencil brush that actually looked to me like I was taking notes with an actual pencil on paper.

This has been recreated. My friend is used this method in a short animation he made.

You are right.
Once I consume it, I’d have to be exposed to even more Jojo references I could’ve just overlooked without noticing

JoJo is coool though.

Articles on kaiju films, how the Samurai were obsessed with Turkish guns, read some weird paper on cannibalism, looked at a discussion on xenomorph evolution online, went hunting for futaba derived board software, downloaded a bunch of books, made a bunch of posts online and that's all in the last half hour. I get nothing meaningful done.

>>1457
Awesome!

Its a video host simple as. You are free to curate and see what the service has to offer.
Now you think. What do you not think? Do you know what did you not know? Does your self know what it does not know?
Entertainment is a need a necessity to combat boredom.
I implore what does the blog authour do amidst the calm?
Why does the authour portray the opponent as weak yet strong?

>>1589
Smart post!

>The mixture of buildings from different eras in China is so cyberpunk
Talk about cyberpunk, Chongqing is definitely gets mentioned, the train going through the buildings must have been quite a sight.

>Can you guess in which era the buildings were built?
Partly. I tried to study architectural history, but it's too hard.
Not to mention all the imitation ancient architectures all around me
But I've been playing geogussr for a while and I've learned some tricks. It's much more likely to be able to tell what areas a building is in.

>Are there your favorite cities to watch? Most cities on Earth seem to have their walking tour videos nowadays
I can't decide. Many cities have given me enjoyment
I also like a another way of exploring a city, I follow a vlogger on bilibili(巡游轨迹) who chooses to visit a city by travelling randomly, which makes the journey full of surprises!

IM is addictive. I try to avoid it or I will end up spending hours worrying about it. Its hard because everyone expects you to use it and you can't avoid it without being seen as strange

>>1581
Holy based!

It may appear as paradoxical but this chat right here is a form of an IM.

>>1587
Are you sure about that?

>>1036
Good question!

Looking to plan some 6 digits traffic art/aesthethic to gather as much of following. Like systematically determine enough value to offer to the market

>>1070
Holy based!

how does illustration gets graded in anime manga industry, either for portofolio/studio, or in the social media?
like how does it get its score

from anatomy to color, how would each of it becomes the value it has, counted, or however it is measured, transalted

>>1204
Smart post!

Maybe if I would stop wageslaving. But then I'd starve to death, not sure it's better.
But I agree, 4-5 hours of sleep/day is far from ideal.

>>793
What type of job are you wageslaving at?

>>790
Good sleep could work.
I also suspect it may be about how much you believe in its meaning.

For example, people often believe there's meaning in just chatting with others.
And we can convince ourselves in the meaning of an anime plot.
It's up to you to discern which has meaning...

>>794
Officially Security engineer. Unofficially the guy that gets to fix stuff when it breaks, write code, write documents for compliance bullshit, and I don't know what else.
>>795
One of my problems is that nothing has any meaning.

>>797
>One of my problems is that nothing has any meaning.
When you have to put up with the BS of technical support and the turning-wheels-to-nowhere of corporate living—compounded with the doldrums of the day-to-day relationships—one is forced to conclude nothing has any meaning IMO

I mean, that's what happened to me (still fighting it at times)
I just try not to think too much about it—or anything, for that matter.
Lately seems like thinking is a parasite of knowing language.

By "face" I am referring to this:

Quite interesting.
I think your understanding of the East Asia is not off the mark.
I’ve also heard about shame cultures and guilt cultures. (I’m not remotely knowledgeable about them tho.)

I don't think the late Roman Empire metaphor is very helpful for people who aren't Westerners.

You're welcome to provide an alternative.
