I used to do things like this. Visit spriting websites, steal a few tilesets, make maps for no real reason. I'd make mock-ups in Paint or Photoshop, or download programs like Game Maker *just* to make maps that didn't serve any purpose.

Coding. Made some serious progress on my OCR in the past week, but it still fucks up in some places I think it shouldn't to be usable - e.g. thin lines in characters, the specific example I'm failing on is "支倉凍砂" on the cover of the S&W LN Vol 1. Going to make a new character classifier to fix it based on what I've learned in the past 2 years.

>>9317470
Similar looking kanji are the ones my dimensionality reduction handles best, as it deliberately finds the distinctive differences between them. No problem thus far, but it might become one as my database grows. Time will tell if I need to make it smarter in that part (I have several ideas.)

I don't remember having trouble with rotation. I did make a frontend (character locator) that handles vertical and horizontal text well though, given a box of characters (in any rotation), it just can't find that box for you.

I try to stick to a flexi-schedule to keep myself from getting bored out my skull.

I split 15, 30 and 60 minute groups up in to various activities.
These can be things like:
gaming, programming, reading random stuff, watching videos, browsing here and various sites.
There is also exercise and rest periods in and around those.

Typically it goes like this, though:
Check a few sites, emails, subscriptions, RSS, etc. (15)
Just planning out code, things that need to happen. (30)
[ 30 minute bonus time if I do a lot, can be used in any stage below ]
Then I will watch something with breakfast. (30)
Then I do some exercise, then relax. (60)
Some gaming. (30)
I give more flesh and bone to the code plan, going in to detail about methods, even doing rough sketches of views or textures and the like. (30)
[more bonus time if I do a lot ]

3 hours morning to my self complete.
Rest of the day is open to anything up until night. (undefined time)

Code implementation. (60)
Since I planned things out well enough, things Should Just Work. If they don't, I fucked up real bad in the planning stages and it will be noted down for investigation the next day. Implementation should be typing and barely any thinking, which is why I do it at night.
Of course, I don't need to do it at night at all. I sometimes just program the entire day.
Hell, sometimes I just dedicate entire days to things depending on how much or little I have done.

Before I did this, I suffered laziness so much. I sat around doing nothing for hours.
That still happens. Like right now.

Honestly Im not much into VN:s, besides Umineko and type-moon stuff. I don't care for touhou either. Don't know why I come to /jp/ anymore.

my hobby is collecting sceenshots in anime

for example I'll collect images of every single computer screen in an anime I can find

other times I will screenshot all references to a certain anime in everything I've watched

I just spend my time rewatching and rewatching, I have stacks of 100 DVD holdalls filled with series I rewatch.

I have an fixation with blue and white checkerboard patterns found in backgrounds of scenes, I screenshot all of those too.

my favorite cameo character is dejiko from Di Gi Charat, I have a folder dedicated to frame by frame shots of each time she has appeared as a cameo role in another series.
