draw

Spectating meltan while eating cake. Somehow I doubt this is what you were looking for.

I played through Silent Hill again yesterday, read some Brass Restoration this morning, and that's all I've really done the past couple days besides come here.

Usually I'd be reading VNs but at the moment I'm not sober and not in the mood

Just listening to music, /jp/, msn

listening to GRIME MUSIC

>>2756237
That would require relearning, and I don't have the materials needed to digitize drawing (tablet, scanner, whatever) in the first place.
And my mouse broke.

Learning how to draw people again would be a great way to pass the time, except that it'd be an exercise in futility if I can't even use it.

>music
>MUSIC
Listening to music doesn't reduce boredom for me, it just gives it a pleasant soundtrack ;_;

Sitting in a corner and imagining a world where I'm happy, and I have friends, and I'm not weak, pathetic, ugly, fat, worthless shit.
I can get lost in such a world for hours.
It really hurts when they try to get me back to the real one.

Programming.

>>2756248
Sometimes it's just background noise, but it's nice to sit back, close your eyes, and listen to some of your favourite music sometimes.

Meltan, Reading VNs, fapping. Take your pick.

>>2756244
Define "use it". Why not just draw for fun for yourself and at the same time improve your abilities meanwhile you get a new mouse or a scanner/tablet?

>>2756260
I guess that's doable.

I wonder how to go about learning how to draw? When I was a kid I learned through art classes one of the museums offered... can't exactly do that now.
Suggest a good online resource.

Sage because thinking about something seriously is making me less bored already!

>>2756270
draw with your HEART

go out and get drunk

go drunk and get out

>>2756280
I can do that, but it looks like shit when I do.

>>2756286
I know what you mean ;_;

Play some piano.

You know what you should do, Jones?
Stop being such an antisocial jerk and get MSN. It won't kill you to try, believe it or not.

Get drunk. See what happens.

I just grab some really old video games and play them. Otherwise, I just put some music on and relax.

>>2756301
That's not what antisocial means, silly.

I'm magic the gathering with myself....

Sengoku Rance. Unless your screen is exposed to passing family members, as mine is...

You could try attention whoring on some internet community site or something.

>>2756301
I'll continue being an asocial jerk and not using IM, you closet normalfag.

>>2756332
I hear you can play that online with others.

>get drunk
It's too early to be drinking. Tonight, sure. But I can't in good conscience get drunk while it's bright and sunny outside.

>>2756301
I still don't see why I would want to do that.

>>2756300
Even if I had a piano, I have no idea how to use one. Playing a piano like a fightan game is probably not a good idea.

Well I usually read a VN, play some old PS or Snes games, browse nicodouga, browse pixiv or some Japanese BBS for new pictures to save, draw.

>>2756270
If you're going for it seriously, you need to learn realistic human anatomy & proportions first. This seems too much /ic/-like, but you should take a look at Loomis books. Available on /rs/.

The best way would be to take live art classes. I improved much more in half a year of taking live classes, which included some nude model drawing. You could sit in a nearby park or mall and draw the people that go by. It's relaxing and helps you improve much more than drawing a generic touhou closeup.

How eager you're to leave your room or abandon your NEET lifestyle may be

>>2756332
I played that in middle school. I wonder if I still have the cards in a box somewhere?
Trading card games suck because they're weighted in the favor of whoever has the most money to spend on them.

>>2756348
>But I can't in good conscience get drunk while it's bright and sunny outside.
But that's the best time to.

>>2756345

Don't you need to use Wizards software and buy online cards and shit?

>>2756352
>sit in a nearby park or mall
>people that go by
>It's relaxing
GOOD LORD

>>2756357
The first, yes, not sure about buying cards online though. I'm pretty sure there'd be a torrent for the software up somewhere.

>>2756352
That's what I did when I was younger.
I used to take art classes during the summers, and I was actually pretty good. I don't know why I stopped, but years of disuse mean I can't do it anymore.
I'm on a pretty tight budget now, though, so I don't think taking classes would really be an option.

1) Download a SNES emulator.
2) Don't leave your room for weeks.

>>2756358
And draw. Although I wouldn't be relax at all since I end up take it seriously and get annoyed by faggots looking. Sometimes asking questions like "are you an artist?" and "what school you go to?" etc.

>>2756355
If I let myself think like that, I'll turn into an alcoholic.
You should learn some restraint, Anonymous.

>>2756370
But I did that 8 years ago.

>>2756358
They aren't talking to you or watching you, right? It's not a social situation, so it's relaxing.

>>2756375
Sitting in your house alone in the dark getting drunk is much more alcoholic-like than getting a few friends together for a barbeque and having a few drinks in the sun

>>2756382
Having a beer isn't the same as getting drunk.

>>2756384
It is in my family

>>2756382
>friends
>barbeque
>drinks
>sun
GOOD LORD

>>2756389
You should try it sometime, reading VNs and watching anime doesn't make you some sort of social leper.

Play some Rumbling Spell Orchestra.

>>2756393
No, but we were all social lepers to begin with. The VNs and anime came after.

Get Team Fortress 2, play it when bored.

>>2756388
Oh wow.

>>2756406
TF2 is shit. Play some DoD:Source, or better yet some Natural Selection.

>>2756406
Computer is not good enough.

>>2756401
From what Google-sensei just taught me, this is a Japanese online card game.
Watashi wa don't know nihongo desu.

Hang out at Pooshlmer like Anonymous Jones used to.

>>2756415
>TF2 is shit
>Play some DoD
oh u

>>2756417
>Computer is not good enough.
Add to this, my mouse is broken. How are you supposed to play an FPS without a mouse?

>>2756415
TF2 is pretty easy to get into, relatively low skill level required not to get munched every 20 seconds at the start, hence the recommendation.

>>2756417
>Watashi wa don't know nihongo desu.
Learn it to pass the time then

Any of you guys play The Specialists, a mod for Half-Life?

I'm playing Sengoku Rance currently. Addictive as crack.

>>2756420
Posting with a tripcode on that board is counterproductive, so I just post Anon.
And no, you won't get rid of me so easily, /jp/.

>>2756426
I'm not learning a language with thousands of fucking logograms.

Vidya gaems.
Currently, replaying Duke Nukem 3D.

>>2756431
Are there any games like Sengoku Rance that aren't 18+?

>>2756436
It's not as hard as it looks.

>>2756440
I know, but it's tedious memorization and I hate tedious memorization.

I've been watching old episodes of Ghost Hunters on Dailymotion all day.

>>2756443
faker wee

>>2756449
????

I guarantee you probably still have some animu to watch.

>>2756453
Marathoned Saki this morning. Tired of anime.

>>2756443
All you need is to get a little bit of grammar down (Tae Kim) and you can start reading simple manga, which is pretty fun and should take your mind off the snail-slow pace you're reading at

>>2756437
Why would you play 3D if Duke Nukem Forever is out already and twice as good?

You could always read SICP.

>>2756415
>Natural Selection
Damn. I used to play this all the time. Good times.

Mahjong. Getting my ass handed to me by nips and weeaboos each.

>>2756455

Okay, now watch something good.

NS2 pre-orders are open now, if you didn't know. They're planning a Fall 09 release.

Watching Kamen Rider Decade. FUCK YEAH!

>>2756499
Yeah I just checked their site. I'll try and wait a few weeks after it's out to see if it has the same feel to it as NS had. It had an awesome atmosphere when you played as marine. Very AVP like.

>>2756484
Saki was pleasant enough to watch. There's just a limit to how much anime I can watch without getting tired of it and wanting to do something else.

>>2756462
And learn a useless language? Why?

>>2756474
I'd do this if I weren't too lazy to sit down and memorize yaku.

>>2756232

Through the magic of the internet an entire library of books, videos and games are at your finger tips. If you can't find something to interest you then you're doing it wrong.

Anyone think Jumpgate Evolution is going to be any good?

I like the concept of EVE, but EVE itself is a massive borefest. Space combat where you determine the best orbital range? Boring.

Playing Prototype.

I either play video games, read VNs or watch anime. That's what I all do all day, every day when I'm not refreshing 4chan boards.

reading David Busch's Nikon D60 Guide to Digital SLR Photography

I nick things from my housemate's rooms and fix them.

Cooking
Photography
Tea drinking
Music listening
Anime watching
VN playing
Internet lazing

Playing video games, reading VNs, listening music. And sleeping most of the day.

6 PM, was going to sleep longer but I suddenly got an urge to fap, which threw away all sleepiness.

But besides that, I just play video game (which I mostly torrent, besides for pay to play MMOs and multiplayer games like TF2), watch movies and TV shows, read manga and watch anime, internet browsing (/jp/ included), listening to/composing music, VNs, etc.

There's tons to do as a NEET.

Polite sage for blogging.

>>2756232

go masturbate or something.

>>2756232
Good science fiction books are great if you're out of top-tier VNs to play.

>>2756698

I just tried to play RO, but I failed. I guess I'll watch some anime or fail again.

>>2756799
What do you recommend? I'm enjoying Vernor Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep.

>>2756804
Gorgeous Takarada is my herro

>>2756250

Fuck yeah, programming. I'm finally getting around to learning the Qt toolkit.

>>2756836
Yeah, Vernor Vinge is great. I highly recommend everything he's written. I'm also a fan of Dan Simmons' Hyperion series, Illium, and Olympos. Some of Isaac Asimov's work is classic and very much worth reading, and the earlier stuff by Neal Stephenson (Snow Crash, etc) is also very good.

fukkenbitches

I'm so very bored right now
Who wants to talk?

>>2758288
Hm... I'm game, so I'll place my bets on you.

What do you want to talk about?

>>2758288
anicechat.net is empty right now if any of you guys want to chat. It'll only be us there.

>>2756961
>Some
oh no you didn't just suggest Asimov has ever written bad books....

>>2758293
You
How was your day

>>2758358
Let's see... I guess you could say it was pretty standard. I spent pretty much the entire day on /jp/ and AIM.

>>2758361
Anything else? Games, did you go outside etc?

>>2758361
>AIM

normalfag

>>2758367
Well, I played some @HomeMate.

>>2758370
Haha, no.

Read some manga. I caught up on Berserk and KnJ today. In retrospect that seems like a weird mix.

Just woke up. Gonna play some poker to try and pay for a timid hooker some time in the future.

Ever jerk off over the moe poker avatars?

>>2756804
what's the source of this?

In case you haven't guessed I'm summerfag hiki.

Playing Touhou or VNs or videogame for the whole 3 months does not seem very plausible.

I could try to learn Nips, but I'd probably get tired of it real quick.

Anyone want to have a chat on AIM? Go to room "jpchat" and we'll see how fast it turns to shit. Whatever.

watching shugo chara... so kawaii<3~
playing summon night swordraft story

>>2758424
Ah, I was going to finish that up, but I played Mech Mercenaries all day instead.

>>2758412
Why not? Seems like a perfectly viable way to spend three months to me.

>>2758447

Since I get bored quickly, doing the same thing for almost everyday somehow doesn't cut it.

At times like these that I wish I have a real bud to hang out.

>>2758414
Soundsgood

>>2758414
I can't find it

>>2758414
I don't have AIM, but there is some sort of browser based version on AOL's web sight... does anyone know how to make this thing join a chat? The only option it gives me is "create a chat".

>>2758540
I think you can just "create" a chat with the same name, and end up where we are.

>>2758556
It's a new, empty chat.

>>2758571
Just download pidgin. You can uninstall it later.

Bodyweight exercises, internet, games, reading about everything

Would I be a normalfag if I signed up for the gym?

>>2758576
You'd probably just add "fitfag" to your list of faggotries. Go for it, feels good man.

>>2758556
I can't find it, so I created one.

I'm a pyromaniac. I entertain myself by burning things on my kitchen floor. my house always stinks like burning plastic, not that it matters since the closest thing I have to visitors is the domino's delivery guy

get more melatonin and vitamin B6 in your diet, and sleep all the time. maybe write down your dreams.

Fuck, my finals got over two days ago but I'm already bored as hell despite having tons of anime, manga, and VNs to catch up on. I should also start playing video games again. I just can't find the motivation to do anything.

>>2758605
go outside
make friends
start doing drugs


worked for me, EVERYTHING is more interesting with some psychedelics

Anyone going to AnimeExpo?

>>2758618
Nobody wants you here, filthy hippy.

>>2758622
Me!

Only because I already paid for a goddamn ticket.

Jones, what kind of a faggot are you? BAWWWWing about not having a tablet? Just fucking draw on paper, that is the only, and the best medium to learn to draw. Tablets don't do shit for people who can't draw, and even dickheads like half of /ic/ only get worse by using them. Fucking take a pen or a pencil and use paper like every normal fag in this world.
