/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>>9037719

I've always wanted a cool room that was well organized and had neat furniture. But I just can't seem to do it...

My room's really cool looking and neat but my tech is incredibly shitty so if I posted pics everyone would just laugh at me for having such a shitty computer and not having enough otaku stuff and then I'd feel bad.

>>9037780
Is that Arnold's room?

>>9037820
Good eye, anon.

>>9037820

>>9037820
>>9037780

I was always jealous of his room. It was so cool. Weren't there pigeon cages on his roof too?

>>9037820
Beat me to it.

And, I suppose prolonged exposure to sunlight would damage the furniture and other stuff... but maybe those glasses have UV filters or something, I don't know.

What I DO know, is that you'll wake up at 7am everyday with the sun showing his glaring fist into your face.

Most manly otaku room 2012.

They should make apartments specifically for people who need very little space.

I live in a studio apartment at now but even this is too large for what I need.
The only thing I use all the empty space for is stacking unwashed dishes and clothes, so I could do without it.
So I pay $210/w for an apartment double the size of what I need and with a window that hasn't had the blinds open for a year.

There would be money in windowless, very small apartments with ~$120/w rent.

>>9037890
does it have to be an apartment? i'm looking into buying a house from this guy

>>9037905

No, of course not.
It's just that apartments are inherently cheaper due to land values.
Houses will run you $1 million+ here.

>>9037886
Milk can I please cum inside you?

>>9037916
Huh? If you're living anywhere crowded enough that houses are that expensive, there should be a wealth of ridiculously small apartments available.

There always are in all the crowded cities, since it's generally more profitable to rent out two really really smal apartments than one medium one.

>>9037935

I am living in the cheapest apartment I could find, I imagine it is among the smallest.
What I mean is a place even smaller to really cut down on rent.

I think the problem is that property prices are inflated here.
Also houses/apartments here are large, it might be unique to Australia.

>>9037905

Those are ridiculously expensive, especially considering they have no foundation and don't have plumbing. They look like abandoned houses too, and would look retarded on property (which you would also have to pay for)

It would probably be cheaper to get some little ranch house.

>>9038012
Renting houses (not those portable shit shacks he was talking about) is a lot safer and convenient than an apartment.

>>9038023

I'd prefer a small house to an apartment, but it would be entirely dependent on the city in which I lived. I don't think the city I live in now even has any apartment buildings, and if it does they're more like condos and duplexes. So not only would renting a house possibly be cheap here, but it's pretty much my only option. But renting a house in, say, New York City would be very expensive.

>>9038043
I really wish I could find other /jp/sys in the city I live in and have two or three of us rent a house together. I'm sure as long as we have separate rooms there wouldn't be a problem.

>>9038068

What about the constant fear of surprise rape?

>>9038078
I'm a very hands-off individual and respect personal boundaries, I would hope we could all be courteous at least...

>>9038089
and not rape each other. I think that's the bare minimum courtesy needed for a long term living situations

>>9037886
Even with all this, I bet milk would sooner sleep with an "alpha" nigger than with an actual /jp/sie.

It is known.

>>9038124
i think that's just wise. once you go black you never go back, so why not just start black and save some time?

>>9038089
Me too, but as much as I'd like to room with some of you guys, I don't think it would be worth the stress of risking a room with a "bad" jpsie. No offence but some of you broadcast that you are leeching NEETing fags who I wouldn't want the head renter to have to deal with your shit. I'd like to room with someone like you, but I don't know how many jpsies are like you and me.

>>9038142

If that was my place, i'd be so scared of the glass faltering. Waking up with glass shards on your face and drowning and I bet some fish is gonna swim up your ass.

>>9038163

It would also be hard to sleep with all the shifting light on your eyes.

>>9038142
I got a feeling that room wouldn't have the best internet connection.

>>9038163
Pretty sure that would be the most exciting way I've ever woken up, and that would make it fun.

Plus, who on /jp/ doesn't want a fish in the ass?

>>9038170
rise with the dawn bro

>>9038177

I actually forgot that people do this, I suppose if you did so it wouldn't be a problem.
I still think it would be nice going to bed and looking up at the fish though.

>>9038176
I can't deny wanting something in the ass, but I don't think I'd want a fish wriggling around up there.

>>9038141
In all honesty I wish I could win the lottery, buy a big house, interview any interested jpsies that pass a basic screening and just let a few live with me. I wouldn't care about moochers if I had enough money as long as they were courteous and clean.

>>9038192
It is just like a vibrator, you'd love it.

I'm amazed by how clean these room is.

Enjoy

My room is too awful. Crappy computer, crappy old TV, broken hand-me-down furniture, cat fur everywhere, cat piss/shit stains on the floor, cat litter everywhere, Simpsons poster, two cat litter boxes, and more.

I posted a picture once on /a/ and they laughed at me for living in such conditions. You guys would just laugh too...

I try cleaning it, but every time, some huge spider or other bug will attack me and so I'll get scared...

>>9040036
Do it before you get cockroaches or some other nasty stuff.
You probably got silverfish already

>>9040036
get rid of cats.

>>9040040
They're my mother's, I can't.
>>9040039
I think I saw a roach come out from under my dresser drawer two nights ago, and it ran back under. I'm too scared to lift the thing up and see my fate...

>>9040036
I like that kind of thing.

Post pics (I promise I won't laugh) and or send them to me at NegiSpringfieldof4ch@gmail.com

>>9039982

>>9040043
at least take the litter bins out of your room. if they're not your cats you don't have to deal with their shit

>>9040043
Here is a treat just dig in dude

A female cockroach carries an egg capsule containing around 40 eggs. She drops the capsule prior to hatching, though live births do occur in rare instances. Development from eggs to adults takes 3 to 4 months. Cockroaches live up to a year. The female may produce up to eight egg cases in a lifetime; in favorable conditions, she can produce 300 to 400 offspring.

I don't want to post the entire room. But, here is a picture of what my PC looked like last month, but it's a LOT better now. Only problem now is some litter that I couldn't vacuum up.

>>9040053
I've been trying to convince her. Though if I do finally get them out of here, then there will be one week at least where the cats crap on the floor in confusion. I moved the boxes over to a better spot and they crapped all over the floor for a week...

>>9040061

Your kitties are true otaku hikikomori.

>>9040061
dude, put your fucking foot down. take them out of your room and tell her they aren't going back in.

cool room

>>9040061
I don't get it? my pc looks the same, what's wrong with some wires and dirt?

also, since I live with my parents I'm forced to live with their cats too. It's nice to stroke the animal from time to time, but the moment they start doing some shit near my PC I literally throw them away from my room.

>>9037719
I want these roll-out bookcases so fucking bad.

Not mine, was posted on /jp/ some time last year.

I love these threads so much. I wish I could post my room, but I'm at University and my hall room is painfully normalfag.

Not mine, unfortunately I still live with my folks and fuck Uni because I don't want to have a roomate

>>9040182
That looks like a very cozy room.

>>9040329
>>9040182

That's my bedroom. I took those pics around a year ago.

My bro moved out of the house so I moved into his room, which is bigger. The room on that pic is being used as storage for some of my crap.

>>9040366
Does your new room look better?

>>9040061
How dare you let Morrowind lay in such filth.

>>9040394
The case only had the construction set disc anyway. I actually threw it away when I cleaned up.

When I tell my mother that we should move the cat litter boxes she throws a fit and threatens to kill herself if I keep it up. What the fuck man.

Can you tell if she's serious or not? If she's just saying it because she knows it works on you and doesn't really plan to kill herself, tell her that it's very immature and move the litters.

If she's serious then she has some issues, you might want to try talking with her or send her to a doctor before she harms herself (and someone else).

>>9040410

At first I thought he had bolted his printer to the wall, which would have been pretty hardcore. But it's just the AC.

>>9041764
I've wanted to do proper projector set up for a while, but my room has window on three walls and my closet and door on the other. If I rearranged things and suspended the screen out in the room it might work but I think I'm just going to get 40+ inch flat panel, it will work better in the space.

I'd post mine, but I'm terrible at photoshop, my shelves are made out of cinderblock and cheap wood, and my bed is a broken futon.

I live in a closet and share a restroom in NYC. I wish I had more shelves for all of my video games and figs.

>>9042477
wow that guy is the textbook definition of a fag

>>9042482

>>9037890
Buy a sailboat.
You can buy a 26' for 5,000USD
Pay $300 to $1000 a month in rent and electricity depending on where you rent your slip
You can do what I do... Work all Spring and Summer then around November or December depending on where I am I sail to St. Maarten.

Become a liveaboard

>>9043353
The thought that somewhere out there is a /jp/er with a boat full of fumos and doujins brings a smile to my face.

>>9043351
Not at all, it's the best thing ever in life.

>>9043353

Sounds neat but I'm sure there are many risks involved. Do you even have an address?

>>9043390
Not a boat full but I have a bunch. Space requires me to store extra shit with my parents.

>>9043407
When I'm at the marina, yeah. When I'm cruising and I have any mail or packages coming I have them forwarded.

The risks are minimal. The roughest part is dealing with squalls. But you learn to deal with it. You can get fuel for free... biodiesel... Some restaurants will give you their used oil.

>>9043487
300 to 1000 in rent is the same as a apartment on land. Whats the point?

>>9043428
Why the hell do you have so many plants?

>>9038142
If I ever meet someone with a room like this, I will wake them up one day by sprinkling water on their face.

>>9043664
That $300 a month can cover just about everything.
Electricity, water, etc.
The point is simple. I have total freedom. I can leave today and sail to Rio Dulce Guatemala. Anchor my boat for free, pay for an cellphone with a decent data plan, and live on less than $95/month.
The other point?
I now live in a very desirable neighborhood here in Philly. Assholes pay $500K for a two bedroom condo to live next door to me. Oh yeah, they have to pay for parking, I get it for free... and free showers and toilets. Only thing I really pay for is slip rental, electricity, phone and internet. I could sail on down to Jacksonville Florida and live for half as much. But I got a job here.

/jp/, as I live on my own for about a year now, I do face some problems with the posters in my apartment. Due to paranoid powerlevel protecting I have to take them all of, every time somebody needs to enter my place. I don't let my family in anymore and obviously have no friends but there are always situations where people have to enter, for example to check or repair the AC system. I am very uncomfortable when people can see my otaku side in any way so It cant be helped and i remove all posters. I currently use blutac to keep them in place and it's good for removing but If I continue like this i will probably damage my posters at some point.

Tell me /jp/ how do I solve the problem, I would like to cover every wall of my Room with posters and scrolls but I will never be able to if I have to remove them two or three times every year.

>>9044044
Learn to not give a shit. I've had someone do repairs in my room when I had a lewd dakimakura laid out on my bed, along with all my figures and posters in my room too. I just go hide elsewhere and pretend they're not secretly laughing at me.

>>9044044

In reality, nobody gives a fuck; they might wonder "what the hell?" internally and tell their friends, but they won't give you shit for it since you're a customer.

I live at home and my Mom got our windows replaced and I kept all my figures and stuff out. One of the guys actually started talking with me about PS2 and Final Fantasy.

>>9044044
You might as well frame your posters if you're that self conscience.

>>9044044
As the others said, but if you're really paranoid, just get a big sheet and put it over the entire wall.

When we moved house first thing I set up was my PC and speakers so I could get some music on.
My sisters friend who was helping us move shit asked me what I was listening too.
I went all shy and said "just a band" and walked away asap

It was ~xi-on~

You let someone alone with your Dakimakura?
How can you know he didn't do lewd things such a hugging or kissing?

>>9043353
Ah, St. Martin, have you ever spent time in Marigot? I remember I used to people watch and creep on all sailboats anchored in the harbor with my telescope.

If somebody ever sees anything of my secret obsession, I would die in shame, powerlevel leakage in any way is no option. Nobody except people who own online stores in japan or maybe my internet provider have a clue. It doesn't matter if people don't care and just think what the fuck (as long as they don't call the loli police), but It would completely fuck my self esteem.

Maybe I should cover the walls with sheets, I already thought about that. But how do I do that? with nails? I might just put the sheet over myself so it's not so shameful.

Frames for every poster are to expensive, I recently checked the cost of a custom frame, it's cheaper to just buy 10 same posters as a backup.

I think I once saw a room with a nice metal grid on one wall, posters are mounted with tiny plastic clothespins and can be quickly removed. A shelf with metal grid doors would be cool and wouldn't look strage without posters but something like that is probably rare and expensive or doesn't exist at all. Why can't we have giant foldable OLED plastic screens that barely need energy and cost nothing /jp/?

>>9045545
>LED frame on the wall
>change it to some weird art when people come over

>>9045545

You can't hide something forever. What happens if you die of a heart attack and then someone comes along and packs up your belongings?

>>9045588
Well if he's dead he doesn't really have to worry about self-esteem anymore, does he?

>>9045394
She'd never allow such horrid things to happen. They guy was on the phone the whole time too and since I don't speak his language he was probably ringing all his friends and laughing. Also, I live in an apartment block and the people who do the maintenance are also the security guards here so every time I leave the building they see me and are probably thinking what an odd foreigner I am. Good job I don't step outside frequently

>>9045029
My parents saw me putting idol posters on my wall with blu-tac and they offered to get them properly framed for me. Can't imagine what the person framing them was thinking either.

I'm working afternoon shifts at a copyshop, sometimes alone. In half a year I printed many strange things and never really gave a fuck. I'm waiting patiently for the first animu print, or maybe a doujinshi scan. But it will probably never happen. I shall continue to print retarded lol so randum memes on tshirts. True story btw, fucking casuals, I want to print someones beloved waifu and not shitty memes that people saw on facebook.

Apart from witches that come out at night, at least one of my rooms looks pretty normal.

>>9045642
I remember that liquor cabinet.

>>9045545
Why even hang up posters? They look like shit 90 percent of the time.

>>9045642

>>9045656
Frame a nice poster and looks good. I have the movie poster for Army of Darkness hanging on one of my walls and it looks really great. It has even got some positive comments, but that may be just Bruce Campbell's fault.

To the boatman;

There are plenty of small 1500-2500 USD boats around, usually at around 20-30 feet. The big, fresh and favoured boats of the live-in community are around ten times that prize.

Are boats this cheap simply inadequate for living in per default, or are the other sailors just prudes? I wouldn't care if I had to live like Das Boot.

>>9045676
How can you live in something that small?

>>9045665
My bedroom is quite bland until I get my hands on some Touhou pictures for the wall. The bed is nice and big and cozy.

>>9045691

Do/did you frequent the buyfag threads in /a/?

>>9045696
And a rather old picture of my bookshelf.

>>9045699
Rarely, since the quality dropped quite when they made those threads generals. Usually I post on /toy/ or in the battlestation threads.

>>9045676
Plenty of people live in boats that are within your posted size range.
I personally wouldn't live in anything less than 26'. I think 32' and higher is ideal. You get the right amount of space in the cabin and it's big enough to easily catch rain water.
The catch with boats that inexpensive is that they need work. Don't worry about what your neighbor paid for his boat. Find a good deal, a good marina, enjoy life.

>>9046338
26' is only 8m, how can you live in that?

>>9039893


With rooms like this you can look at the figures and the furniture and tell this person became an "otaku" in the past few years and used his parents money to make a room worthy of posting on the internet.

Danny Choo is an otaku for as long as he can make money out of it. Nobody gives a fuck.

What's on TV?

I dont feel like working for more than a couple years. Life is too short to spend it slaving away for some corporation's profits. Starting my own company sounds like too big of a risk too.

There any decent ways to live comfortably on extremely low budget? Boating sounds ok but I thought maintenance was pretty high, and getting food, water, and showers can be hard to get

Been thinking about digging one of those earth homes and growing food to eat, but it seems like you have to invest a lot and know what you are doing. Water filtration, electricity generation, flood prevention, etc

those are called earthships. complete self sustainability, especially for first worlders, is basically an impossibility. however, jobless living is not. there's a lot of exciting work coming out of the anarchist and sustainability worlds, and the intersection between them. it's definitely worth looking into if it's something you're passionate about.
