That's why hikki usually live with their parents and are common in Japan rather than the west. A hikki wouldn't stand go outside, even less talk with a vendor.

Both wrong.
People with extreme cases of Social Anxiety Disorder do still go outside, usually very late at night when noone is around, they will usually still be heavly dressed probably trying to hide their face with a hood or something.
I know, we have a family history of it, my Mother had lapses of it, both my cousins have been shut ins for years.

I've been going through a hikki phase for a while now.

I stayed inside for about six months and loved it. After that, I tried going to the mall to see if I'd like going outside for a change of pace. I didn't. Now I've been back in my basement for two months since.

>> No.1245862

>>1243758
It really depends on your definition of a Hikikomori. On either situation, a Hikki is either somewhat forced to make base social contact with their parents, or simply forced to go outside to procure food for themselves. In Japan, due to strong family structures, the former is more common than you would see in the West. Here in Amerikka, parents are MUCH less likely to support such tomfoolery, so it's more likely that a "American Hikki", if there is such a thing, is at least required to go outside (or order take-out) once in a while.

So far as the LCD/CRT thing is concerned, LCDs are NOT that bad with colors nowadays- that applied as early as two years ago, but more modern LCDs are just fine at replicating gradients and large swaths of color. I'm a graphic designer/web designer and my main PC uses a 24" Gateway LCD- and it works just fine (I made damn sure it did). Trust me, you will have infinitely more issues working with different color palettes on other computers (i.e. other people having older shitty LCDs) than you actually do replicating the color on your own computer.

The only real exception to the above that I've encountered is doing huge prints (Like when I've had to design 5'x5' signs), which you get so anal about you basically check it in every sense. Still, even then, I made my printing company send me samplers- so it wasn't THAT big of a deal.

This is my set-up, I call it the chairbed.

I line my chair up with my bed and just lie down on them my side with pillows/sheets as cushioning on the sides of the chair with the monitor facing towards me.

It works with a CRT but an LCD would make it complicated with crappy viewing angles.
