i forgot to mention, especially if you get into hardware specifics and archiving

the language-learning aspect. trying to find good deals on physical bunkobon.

Hi BasedJejune

Yes!

If someone told me how welcoming the club/dance environment could be to some dork like me years ago, I would have never believed them.

Do you have a link to that? I'm no hardcore Junglist Otaku but it seems interesting.

im upset that no ones drawing here anything, are they all in /ic/ cuz thats the most toxic art board that i know of

>>41311578
drawing isn't an otaku hobby

Drawing isn't cool; drawings are cool

>>41311578
I keep waiting to be perfectly rested and in the right frame of mind to draw which never occurs.

>>41301668
I just want to smoke and drink and play pachinko alone in peace

Do you have an online presence somewhere I might be able to PM you? No promises, as I just bought it and awaiting some dodgy shipping but maybe I can unbound and scan it to pdf for you, if it gets here. Again, no promises and I'd advise against sitting tight for anything.

If that's annoying, you can find most of the designs in the curator's blog and the rest of his blog-sphere for free here:

I used to sew cosplay outfits, now I just sew.

>>41319096
sewing sounds cool. is it hard to learn by yourself?

>>41315200
The blog is good enough. Thanks.
Don't want you to go through the trouble of scanning it just for a passing interest.

>>41319132
Not particularly. You just have to try.

It used to be anime but I seem to be growing out of it. I went from watching 50 anime per year to only 3. And I'm too much of a poorfag to buy otaku games. I also stopped following the Touhou project and I only followed vtubers for 1 month before becoming repulsed to it. I don't know what I am any more. I forgot how to have fun.

I remember the rare items being as addictive as crack cocaine. That elf bitch was overpowered. After she cast strength or defense boost she becomes several magnitudes stronger than most of the characters. I remember being pissed off that I invested thousands of hours into my character and my brother was stronger than me with half that time because he chose that elf bitch.

>>41320160
It happens. I haven't watched an anime in years.

Games, anime, vtubers are all passive consumption. Maybe its time to try something creative. Even if you don't see yourself as good at art or music, you could still try writing or programming. Or even pick up something like RPG Maker and try it out.

Wait that's considered retro now? I feel old ayayaya

>>41311578
There's been a few /jp/ threads recently where anons have been sharing drawings. Do not go to /ic/ for art discussion. You'd have better odds talking about art on any other board.
>>41314889
I find it easier to build a habit. If you draw a lot, your body will become accustomed to drawing. If you wait for the right moment, your body will become accustomed to waiting.
>>41320128
I'm considering it. Where would be a good place to learn and get started.

>>41301668
Distributing free literature.

>>41321812
>few /jp/ threads recently where anons have been sharing drawings
yeah, /jp/ threads that post /jp/'s flockmod screencap that got swarmed and taken over by /v/tards every hour

>>41311578
Do you know of any good art communities? I feel like it'd be easier to get into a rhythm if I had other beginners drawing and improving along side me

>>41301668
Karate, specifically Kyokushin. I'm lucky enough to learn from Bulgarians who try to make it even more of an effective striking art, but keep the core beauty of it. Also Sumo's the only sport I've kept up with enough to remember the names of athletes.

just focus solely on improving yourself and don't bother with "improving along with others", others don't matter
cut off all communications of any kind
set up a definite goal (a certain skill level that you want to achieve, or a style that you want to mimic) and always on the path towards that goal, no matter what
be it waking up at 4AM or staying up until 2AM

I already have that hobby. I'm starting to get bored of it.

>>41324714
i have that hobby and i am starting to get unbored of it. maybe i will code an operating system like terry a david.

>>41324659
>just focus solely on improving yourself and don't bother with "improving along with others", others don't matter

I completely disagree with this. Programmers can live and learn that way, but not artist. Artist need attention or some form of positive reinforcement to keep going. Getting good at art is very hard so you need as much motivation as possible.

>>41324774
you can post on pixiv and see the likes/bookmarks number go up 1 or 2 per day and ignore the rest of the world, I did this years ago
not sure if that counts as "communication", but yeah that's definitely "positive reinf"
but then again, "positive reinf" =/= "communication"

Feeding the ducks.

There's a lot of diverse interests and different slangs for masturbation in this thread.
>>41324774
Why do you think that? How is learning art a more socially involved skill than any other skill like for example, programming? If motivation is the issue, you just have to learn proper discipline. Set up a schedule and stick to it, then the urge will come naturally. And art is more closer to programming than learning a language where talking to other people is a necessity and the social aspect is ingrained in the skill itself.

Apart from the usual video games, anime, VNs, etc. I've been managing an imageboard for most of the year. Of course I haven't done much in the way of web development, as I always had other people handle it for me. I'll have to learn soon. I like most things that give me a problem to solve or something to improve.

Bottle digging. Dug both of these a couple months ago, easily some of my best finds to date

Regrettably I'm not sure who the bottle digging 2hu is, maybe Nazrin

>>41326842
I found an old Moonshine camp a few years ago, it's was pretty neat finding all the junk and old glass jugs they left behind.

>Please don't say "masturbation".

How old? If you post a picture of any of the jugs I could try and date them. The base and the finish are most helpful for ID'ing bottle age

>>41327490
I'm guessing Prohibition era, since it looked like a full setup with a ruined shanty and lookout tower, but could be later. I'll clean them up and take some pics tonight, I only took two bottles to try and preserve the site.

Sounds good, I'll come back tomorrow. Whereabouts are you, southern US? Just a question because the southern US produced a style of hand-blown bottles ~10 years past the rest of the US, but that only applies to locally-produced bottles of course and not something coming out of a massive factory

Maths, but I'm pretty shit at it. I've also recently gotten pretty interested in computers.

>>41329416
The fact that you admit to being bad at math despite being passion about it is very commendable

>>41328957
What are the odds of two anons having the same bizarrely specific special interest in the same thread? I suspect samefagging.

>>41332622
Is it? A loser that admits to being a loser is still a loser, and an even bigger one since everyone knows it and will treat him accordingly. LOL

This site was north of Logan Lake, BC, Canada.
I couldn't find pics of the actual site, this was five years ago.
Also found the gas tank for a Hornet chainsaw so that more than likely puts the date in the 50's.

Okay, thank you for the post! The jug looks later than the second bottle you posted, but if they were found together may be produced the same time. However, I feel like moonshiners would be extremely cheap and wouldn't be adverse to reusing old bottles.

That jug was definitely made post WWII, you can tell from the bumpy concentric pattern on the base (popular on bottles between ~1945 and 1970). The D-in-a-diamond mark was used by the Dominion Glass Company of Montreal, which lines up with the "Made in Canada" proclamation. Your guess of the 50's sounds right. The "6" on the right of the logo may date it to 1956 according to this page.
https://sha.org/bottle/pdffiles/DominionGlass.pdf

The second bottle is far more crude in its production. You can tell from the base that it has an asymmetrical glass distribution (only common with early machine-made bottles, e.g 1905-1920). The prominent off-center oval with protruding lines on the base (called a suction scar) also looks like that of an early machine-made liquor flask. Nevertheless, there appear to be few to no bubbles within the glass, which pushes it past 1920. My gut is telling me 1920-1930, but it could just be contemporary with the jug and just made by a glasshouse with old equipment. There's effectively no way of telling since there isn't a makers' mark.

Thank you for the photography collage, you did excellent there and made my job a lot easier.

I'm happy to keep checking this thread if any other anons have heirloom bottles they want dated, or want information about. I have 10+ years of experience bottle dating. My knowledge is shaky pre-1870 (I hardly find bottles that date from before then), but I can try nonetheless.

>>41341241
>10+ years of experience bottle dating
Impressive

>>41341241
What a peculiar hobby...

>>41341241
I could see the jug being from tomato juice or other ingredient, I doubt they bought new bottles for moonshine.
That is an interesting bit of history, Thank you.
