/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I don't have anything interesting in my room due to NEET.

>>7277666

Magic of internet shopping and mother's money?

Wow, OP, you're a huge faggot.

>>7277672
My parents refuse to give me anything beyond basic needs.

>>7277674
Either that or OP is a girl/woman.

Is your Japanese really good enough to read Index?
Judging by the kanji lying on top you don't.

>>7277666
I know your pain, nrvnqsr

>>7277688

eh my gender is apparent? I thought it was pretty gender neutral. and ah, I only keep them as keepsakes now. I'm able to read index fine, except for a few strange terms its not all that hard.

Eh, my place is a bit messy.. if I just throw away some boxes and such I can get it looking really nice again.

I don't have much of anything noteworthy besides a pretty big gunpla/garage kit collection. Nendoroids, figma and some misc are in the smaller shelf by the dresser.

Those scrolls and posters are older than /jp/; a few of them predate /a/... but they haven't really faded much and the walls are far uglier if totally barren, so I keep them for now. I plan to get some nice prints made someday but keep putting it off.

Other side of the room during day. I was watching something (hen zemi I think, this was pretty recent) so most of the lights were off. I sometimes pin up that sheet over the window, since otherwise I get terrible glare, but the sun was soft and setting at the time so it's open here.

>>7277811
I was thinking about installing lights in my shelves.
Any tips? I want to bore as less holes as possible.

>junjo romantica
>thought it was pretty gender neutral

Get the fuck out, fujoshi bitch.

>>7277897
Well you don't have to so much bore holes, as simply drill them into place.

Some types also can install using an adhesive that, as far as I know, actually works just fine, it's just a serious pain to remove.

LEDs make for good lights to just install into stuff, since they're quite bright as long as you get enough, but also cheap and lightweight. Most importantly LED doesn't emit UV or much of any heat (two things from spotlights that can damage figs over time).

>>7277913
Ah, so those LEDs are running on battery.
I was ruling these out, since it seems too much of a bother to always switch them on and off individually.

>>7277990
If you're talking about my room, actually those are powered. I modified the shelf a decent amount and managed to hide most of the cables as a result (it's a mess of cables behind the shelf but who cares since that's out of sight).. it sounds like a big project, but it actually only took me like two days on and off to get it all rigged up.

>>7277897
IKEA's LEDs usually have options both for screws and adhesive material which can be pretty easily removed, but you should still drill to hide the cables
yes they are stubby and I should die

Please don't use this word on /jp/; room thread is fine but not that.

My otaku / neet / whatever rooms folder is still on mediafire if anyone wants.

/g/ shit. Reported.

I'm back in the ancestral home at the moment, so this is where I am. See the little bedside table with the two monitors on it? That's where I'm sitting at the moment, everything to the left of it is empty space ;_;

>>7278082
Unlimited monitor works..

>>7278076
/g/ > /jp/ and /g/ = /jp/

it's in progress...

>>7278082
ooh Kozue Amano fan. Where do you get your wallpapers?

>>7278910

>>7278922
Gelbooru'ing absurdres aria

Something like this.

>>7278082
Didn't you have more monitors at some point?

And yeah, I just posted this on /g/ as well.

>Junjou Romantica

Female detected

Slightly old but other then a few new figs and books nothing has really changed.

This is a few months old, so + some more manga.

Not terribly interesting, sorry (´・ω・｀)

>>7279695
Ooh, awesome painting of Flandre. Where did you buy it?

Pics a bit outdated, missing a lot of newer figs, but only pic of my actual desktop space nonetheless.

>>7279695
Can you post your wallpaper?

I actually once bought two posters, and then never put them up because I couldn't figure out how to put stuff on the wall without harming either the poster or the wall.

I worry too much about items and their life spans.

>>7281279
>>7281279
You frame them. Not very economical if you buy a lot of posters, but really worth it if you only buy those one or two really good ones of things you love.

>>7278082
Jesus christ, I know you. You've been posting for years on 4chan.

My bachelor apartment. I don't have any NEET/otaku stuff other than computers/games because I suppress my power level.

>>7281296

>I don't have any NEET [...] stuff

What the hell does that even mean?

>>7281315
No figs, no dolls, no posters, no dakimakura, no manga, no boxed anime, no waifu themed mouse pads, etc. Nothing of that sort at all.

Stop using words you don't understand.

>>7281331
NEET does not imply anything that would associate it with those hobbies.

First off, it stands for Not in Employment Education or Training. Second, it was a term made in Britain, and has nothing to do with otaku culture. I think that's what his question of "what does that even mean?" meant.

You could be a NEET, and be into regular normalfriend stuff like football or getting bitches and look down on obsessive hobbies like ours.

inb4 ismygirlfriend posts football pictures.

Hi Jordan, didn't know you posted on /jp/

>>7278082

It's just like one of my Japanese animes.

>>7281344
Wait, you're living out of an old van now Jordan? Did your mom kick you out? Sorry to hear about this.

>>7281294

>>7281344
I had that monitor, only in black.

Couldn't get a very good picture, I hope this is alright.

>>7281428

just finished setting up posters on one wall, only pic worth showing as everything else isn't set back up yet

>>7281526
Looks a bit cluttered.

My living room.

>>7281609
Nice desk, but you're cooking at less than 30 cm from your figures?

>>7281628
>>7281628
I don't use the back range, and until I can get another curio this is pretty much the only place I have for them at the moment. Believe me, I wouldn't put them there if I felt they could get damaged.

Pic of said curio.

>>7281609
Could you post that Madoka wallpaper please?

>>7281687
I want that Behoimi..

>>7281686
Here.

>>7277911
I love you /jp/.

Messy as fuck i know, but i can throw shit away.

I just ordered a figure and i'm not sure where to put her. Ideas?

My room from a year ago.

Living in the storage now.

>>7281702
Horrible room. You should die.

Ugh, I should update this at some point. My room is a disaster right now though.

So lazy. I'm waiting for my Kotobukiya Marissa figure to come in. Way to excited for her.

>>7283128
I'm usually not one to push gender stereotypes, but that is a ridiculously effeminate room.

>>7283128
I would be pretty diissapointed if you turn out being a girl

>>7278910

Thats it I'm getting a fucking job. I want that setup.

It's the posters that are getting me jealous more than anything else.

Many of you have good taste.

>>7283179
>>7283167
That's one of those cam whore fujoshi sluts. I don't think many male /jp/ers have dolled up rooms with pink like girls. I'm sure one or two do. If I remember correctly that one guy who loves umineko has a pretty pink colored bedroom.

>>7281294
Can you please tell me how you made those posters?

>>7283281
I'm not the one you asked, but you can just go to a print shop that has a plotter machine and they can print any poster size you want on a different variety of papers.
But it's not that cheap, at least where I live it costs about 10 USD for a single poster. You need to have a high resolution picture, like a wallpaper image or so.

Same old crap, but might as well post.

Not pictured is my spare bedroom that I plan to turn into a nerdy office. Also not pictured is my figure cabinet, which will inhabit said office along with some decent canvas print art on the walls. I'll probably be moving my computer down there as well to free up space in the master bedroom.

>that oyari ashito artbook

Alright you've got me. I am jealous.

>>7283465

It's pretty much the only art book I own both the standard and limited editions of... It's hot as fuck.

At least to me anyway.

>>7278082
This just made my day.
Nice to see that battlestation again.

>>7283450

Is that July?

>>7283440
Looking it up, I found an Oyari Ashito Chronicle Art Book Deluxe Box Set for $110, and never have I been so tempted to spend so much money on an otaku item.

I think the guy in a past thread was right. Buying a plushie was the first step to my downfall into buying more.

>>7283500
Could I get a link to that? Sounds pretty cheap to me.

>>7283507
I just found it off google, so I don't know the repute of the site, but:
http://www.animebooks.com/oyaschartbol.html

>that WARNING label on spice and wolf manga
ugh. Would be nice if madmen brought the series to ausfailia and removed that shit.

>>7283500

It's a beautiful book... I highly recommend it.
Also, I love my Takamichi Love Works book as well.

There's nothing wrong with me...Shut up.

>>7283507

Yeah, as far as hard cover art books go, that's really an average price.

>>7283531
I'm very tempted to buy the Takamichi book, but it doesn't show any excerpt to show the quality of the print or anything, so I'm a bit apprehensive.

Can you take a picture of a random page or something?

>>7283516
At least it doesn't have that 3DPD cover.

>>7283281
Mine are actually canvas prints from photosprintedoncanvas.com, but there are lots of online/local print shops that will print whatever you want on any type of paper. As another poster stated you will need a large image. I recommend at least 100dpi, so 2400x3600 pixels for a 24x36.

>>7283512
Would importing this into Canada get me arrested? I have no idea how the lolicon laws actually work here. I know it's "illegal" like in the US but beyond that is there a legal precedent for this sort of thing or what?

What fucking jobs do you guys have? My room is really bland with basically nothing in other than my laptop and TV.

>>7283654
In Canada people have been jailed for Bart and Lisa Simpson porn, so I'd say yes.
I think there was another case when someone imported loli stuff, and that was only a extremely small part of his collection.

>>7283654
No, in the US, it is both legal and illegal. That is, it's legal de facto, but a new law that has since been untested since its instatement says it is illegal. People have tested the 'legal' law and found that it is upheld, but no one has checked to see if the 'illegal' law is unlawful.

In Canada, though, it's 100% illegal. Almost as bad as importing child porn illegal.

>>7283669
>Almost as bad as importing child porn illegal.
I'm no lolicon. It's JK and above for me. The legal situation in my country is really fucked up for me nevertheless.
It is illegal to posses pornographic content with "apparent minors" (that includes mature persons that LOOK like they are minor) even if that person is a drawn, entirely fictional character.
If a person is such an "apparent minor" is left for the judge to decide.

1984 much?

>>7283554

Kind of an odd request, but sure.
I think the print quality is fine, but it's not a hard cover. I'm not even sure if they ever made a hard cover of this book. If they did, I missed out on it.

>>7283654

>I know it's "illegal" like in the US

I find that statment to be completely hilarious considering I bought both books from Kinokuniya in Seattle. If it was illegal, it wouldn't be on the shelf now would it? I think it's more accurate to say it might violate community standards in much more conservative, ass-backwards areas.

>>7283658

Why does that matter? Who cares if some of us are NEETs, living with our parents, or in our mid 30s with houses and shit of our own... It's all the same to me.

>>7283654
Doesn't that book contain nudity at most?

I don't see how that could get anyone arrested.

>>7283690
Oh, that is very nice...

Well damn, I was kind of hoping a picture would dissuade me from buying it.

>>7283697

Both the Oyari Ashito book, and Love Works contain artistic, tasteful examples of female nudity. Nothing lewd or overly sexually suggestive. If anyone finds fault with the artistic value of these works or is offended by them, they have something seriously wrong with their brains. They're both absolutely beautiful works.

>>7283654
Good luck. Our customs service has an obscene amount of power and is ass backwards to the extreme. In one case, they confiscated the imports of a gay sex store and held them until they went bankrupt, despite court orders showing it was unlawful. If some inspector sees your packages, you have the legal precedent that >>7283665 describes already set for you.

>>7283690
It IS illegal.

If they catch anyone importing that stuff they'll be in pretty deep shit.

>>7284102

I should also point out that animebooks linked above is an American company, and they list both books we've just been discussing.

If it's highly illegal, why are book stores and websites like animebooks allowed to import and sell them?

>>7284102
In 1996, I think, 2D representations of children were deemed completely illegal.
This was ruled unconstitutional in 2002 by the Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition case, which did thus say that, In the USA, 2D representations of children are legal.

Then came 2003's PROTECT Act, which said that 2D representations of children were illegal. Obviously, this goes against the 2002 ruling.

To elaborate, 2D Cartoon Child Pornography is not illegal, but is also not legal, in the USA. The 2003 PROTECT Act does state that it is illegal, however, that goes against the 2002 Court Case that says it is legal. Therefore, it is neither legal nor illegal to possess 2D Cartoon Child Pornography in the USA until the PROTECT Act of 2003 undergoes SCOTUS challenge to tell which takes precedent over the other, the USA stance on it is too ambiguous. Not even a highly-paid lawyer could you whether it was legal or not.

For example, not wearing your seatbelt when driving a car is illegal.
Say that a law passed stating that it is illegal to wear a seatbelt when driving your car.
If that happened, no one would know what is legal and what is not legal. Therefore, the previous law is considered the actual law (ie, not wearing your seatbelt is illegal), until someone gets punished under the new law (ie, wearing your seatbelt is illegal) and takes the case to the Supreme Court for them to decide which law should be followed, and which should be tossed out.

>>7278898
here's some more pics, haven't taken teh figures out of the moving boxes...

>>7283654
yest It is illegal. The chances of it getting stopped however are pretty small especially if you order stuff to begin with (i generally get 3-5 packages a month and the last time anything got stopped was years ago when i first started ordering stuff, even then the only one to ever get opened was my very first figure).

Personally i do order loli stuff despite the risk. I have a few art books with questionable content including the two discussed (which are fabulous and highly recommended) as well as a bunch of loli doujins and manga.

The programming books are just there. I'm too retarded to program.

>>7285635
All it takes to program is dedication not to give up when you a´hit a wall.
If you feel too retarded to program C#, then most likely the book isn't introducing it the right way.
What needs to be established is
1) a general feel of how to program OOT (C++, Java, C#, and the likes is except for a few albeit notable exceptions all-the-same-shit)
2) a general understanding of how the standard library looks like (that's specific for each language and eats most of the time to get used to).
Books mostly look at specific problems, and lose sight of the overall picture by doing that.

Whatever, I got it done. Lost some resolution from downsizing huge images from my camera, if you can't see something ask for a bigger image. I use a laptop so I just use my bed as a battlestation
