NEETs that are on the computer 14+ hours a day without investing in any skills are retarded. You have all this time to work on yourself and refine a skill, yet you squander it. Why?

Use that time and invest in yourself. How else are you going to have any fun in life if you are only good at naming doujins by their cover? It's not like you need to have some normalfag mentality either, i'm learning how to sew and tailor to make touhou costumes.

Come on, /jp/. Get to it!

You cant be too lazy to do something you enjoy. Chronic Laziness comes from the lack of having things that you enjoy doing

Nothing holds my interests for more than a couple hours at a time. It sucks

>>8523254
Not him, but I don't enjoy anything. Some tasks are just more passive than others. I can load up /jp/ and post twelve hours straight and feasibly quit at any time. However learning a skill or applying that skill takes effort and obligation. Even watching anime is kind of a chore because it means twenty minutes of dedication and I have to plough through episode after episode.

Usually hobbies tie in with something that you enjoy. So, say if you enjoy touhou(who am i kidding, "if"). You can do something that revolves around that. Doll making, music, whatever. Then it starts from there, you already have a goal (make touhou stuff) and thats good motivation.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8523285
Sometimes I set myself goals. But once I get past the first few obstacles I start feeling accomplished and quit. For example I learned how to sew last year but did nothing with it except patching up a few clothes

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

Why do you gotta learn how to sew and tailor to make Touhou costumes? Just make the Touhou costumes in the first place, skip the middleman.

[Anonymous No.]

I can't really think of anything that I care about enough.

Maybe learning Japanese would be a worthwhile hobby, but anything else is just a lot of trouble to achieve a goal that I don't particularly care about achieving.

If I learn enough Japanese can I get paid translating shit like the dad in yotsubato? I really doubt it.

[Anonymous No.]

But I'm so retarded that even if I invested all that time in skills I'd still be worse than anyone else investing less than a quarter of the time in that skill. It can't be helped.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8523307

Thats like saying "Why learn how to play piano, just play the songs and skip the middle man"

Is there more to what you are trying to say?

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>8523322
Nah, that's about it.

But really, it's not that difficult.

[Anonymous No.]

But I do.

[Anonymous No.]

If I had motivation to learn anything I wouldn't be a fucking NEET you retard. I take it easy and so should you.

[Anonymous No.]

Self-improvement is normalfag mentality.

I hate myself, why would I want to improve what I hate?

[Anonymous No.]

You assume I have the potential to be skilled at anything other than touhou and masturbating.

Because nothing I try or do makes me happy. Nothing makes me happy any more.

That's the first thing that comes to mind when I think about having a job as a translator. So I'm actually getting into a translation 'career' this year. I doubt I'll get past the first semester, let alone the whole 4 years, but thinking about taking it easy like Yotsuba's dad makes me feel peaceful.

So i'm not the only one who feels like this.

[Anonymous No.]

Things I did the past 2 years

1: Learned to service my motorcycle. Even things like replacing the piston rings or polishing the valves and head (+4 placebo horsepower) are very easy to do now.

2: Managed a huge backlog of VNs without spead-reading them, instead enjoying them to the fullest.

3: Improved my soldering skills.

4: Perfected PCB etching using an inkjet printer

I don't think I've been idle, not at all.

OP you sound just like my parents..
and i've been trying to do something, but i just don't have the motivation and i can't enjoy anything ;___;

though now i'm getting a driver's license so i think that's something but seriously I have tried playing piano, different sort of sports, sewing but nothing makes me happy.

[Anonymous No.]

The thing that bothers me the most is the camera.

[Anonymous No.]

fuck you OP, is not that easy.
I spent 6 months doing nothing after I got kicked out from my job (I saved some money), and you know what I did with all that time? Nothing. I tried to learn how to make games but ended just playing games and watching animu the whole day. After that I had nothing and I had to return to work my ass off in shitty jobs.

I would recommend photography. It's easy to start with and has been kept me from going insane for the last few years.
But that's obviously only something for people who are not afraid to go outside.

Because work is boring.

This is a world where everybody’s gotta do something. Ya know, somebody laid down this rule that everybody’s gotta do something, they gotta be something. You know, a dentist, a glider pilot, a narc, a janitor, a preacher, all that . . . Sometimes I just get tired of thinking of all the things that I don’t wanna do. All the things that I don’t wanna be. Places I don’t wanna go, like India, like getting my teeth cleaned. Save the whale, all that, I don’t understand that . . .

I was thinking about learning electronics, just with medium understanding of logic gates and synchronous circuits you can build neat structures and then create figures with motion, sadly this needs some cash for materials: latchs, wire, empty chips..etc.
I doubt I'll successful in my first tries.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8524963
How do you design something like that, sounds like rocket science.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8524983
It's very simple actually. I can recommend some text if either of you would like. The basics on pure electrical components rather than the semiconductor bits are very important if you want to move over to electric servo's for motion. AC stepper style motor are what you'd want to carefully manage movement there, and they're relatively simple if you have a strong foundation.

Is not hard actually.
Let's say that you begin with switch with 3 states.
Off, 1, 2.

1 triggers C1, 2.. etc.
Then proceed to design what you want e.g: raise left hand, move head and blink, design then a circuit with 3 outputs and join them with Mux1-2/: eneables H active, 1-mov up, 0- mov-down (Eneable 0=no movement), adjust sequence, clock for the speed and the right components, depends where you live, and that simple motion is done, it shouldn't take more than 2 hours to design and other 2 to create a small chip with these. Is easy since you can do it with a Moore/Mealy machine with 6 states.

Just in case anyone actually was interested;

This book is very important and will cover the most basic of material. Heavy math analysis is not needed if you will stay solely on the solid state side. You might have to purchase a multimeter for a few dollars (they are rather cheap) if you want to try some measurements on your household electronics.

http://depositfiles.com/files/6dtt69y0z
This is a good book to cover the digital logic side of things for general solid state. It's a basic book, so you will need something like "electronic devices and circuits" by Bogart to cover a more extended topic on this.


that should carry you enough if you actually do go through these texts, to understand the basics and be able to work with your own creations.

http://www.mediafire.com/?yd1ed4idatajb70
The author of this book was my professor for a few semesters. This should cover most of what you need for hobbyist electrical motors.

Three texts, although you could find another to accompany later on and show you examples of large scale circuitry. You don't need a teacher to guide you through this stuff, as all you're paying for at any college/academy/university is a paper stating that you did in fact finish. You do 99% of the learning on your own, and any questions you might have there is google.

But now that I think about it even if you manage to build and design a functional structure then you need to create a 3D model to cover it, that's dead end for me.

Use multisim to text basic schematic sections.

Bring it all together on draft paper. If you meant purchasing the parts, it's all tremendously cheap. You could harvest from old electronics or find stuff online for a few cents in bulk.

Oh and yeah, it's hard finding links that are not dead. You should look around if you really are interested. That is a very good book.

Film photography. It's possible to get everything you need for less than 50$ with a couple of films. Of course, you'll have a shitty commie camera, but you can still take better pictures than with your average compact camera.
