NEET/hikikomori thread Anonymous 04/23/2025 (Wed) 18:46:05 No. 8507 [Reply]
let's gather together and talk about our struggles as NEETs or Hikikomori. I have something to say about the NEETs and hikikomori, we should remove women who do the chores and raise their children

let's make a list of NEET/hikikomori literature. I begin with Oblomov

and welcome to NHK >>8585

>>8585 An anon already said NHK which is the only neet literature I know, but I know osomatsu-san, an underrated neet anime.

i don't think i've ever had a single conversation with a person my age that wasn't completely superficial or done just because i needed to. it's like when i turned 18 a whole world opened up in front of me and i knew no way of dealing with it so i just shut myself in my room and continued to play games forever. i know i should probably be doing something but i don't know how to do anything but infinitely postpone it. i can't do it in real life and if i wanted to do it online i would have to go to tiktok and shitsword servers which i can't do. i feel intense fear at having a conversation unanonymously where i would have an obligation to keep replying and be nice to the other person. that's how far gone i am. i really don't want to talk to anybody but at the same time i really want to and this is what keeps me in my room. i just want to go back to being a kid again.

impressionism Anonymous 04/24/2025 (Thu) 20:11:34 No. 8553 [Reply]
impressionism is my favorite kind if painting and if there's other friends who like it, lets share some!
4 posts and 1 image omitted.
>>
>>8572 nta but probably that if an artist is affiliated with a movement then all of his pieces must be considered in the style of the movement, even though they are clearly not, like many of de Glehn's portraits
>>
>>8572 it wasn't an Impressionism class, but a general class about art through the ages. i learned that i like Baroque art and that Andy Warhol should have been dragged into the street and shot like a dog. >>8591 OP seems like an Impressionist piece on the surface from what i can observe. visible/rough brush work, highlights of differences in light, ordinary scenes. is it not an Impressionist piece?
>>
>>8592 It's an impression of an impressionist piece
>>

>>8553 i studied impressionism in an old art class as a main theme but the only artists i really loved were probably Qiang Huang and Erin Hanson

>>8602 whao Im impressed about quang gang ' s painting, I like the effect

>>6951 i'm going to write some japanese poetry and essays and post it here. i'm pretty confident that i could do it and i want to do something creative before i kick the bucket and die. i don't know how many of you can read it but this is about it when it comes to leaving something behind and also i want to show off the one and only thing that i'm better at than everyone. don't know what board i would post it on either /en/ or /jp/. choice seems obvious but i still don't know.
>>
>>8543 post it to /jp/ i'd say. japanese poetry seems like jap culture to me.
>>
>>8536 it's been a while so i don't fully remember, but i think it was marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, chicken, mushroom, and an italian seasoning mix that had like oregano and basil and stuff in it. quite tasty i must say.

>>8566 sound tasty

do any of you play chess? how to stop being shit at it? i'm insanely bad. i'm probably 2 for 25 against the 1000 rating bot on chess.com i blunder constantly and stalemate 80% of the games i should win

I'm a beginner, I played 500 parties whole my life for now. I suck at it LOL
>>
>>8542 >do any of you play chess? I used to play it a lot as a kid and go to tournaments when I was in middle school. Wouldn't consider myself good, but somewhat decent. Nowadays I just occasionally play it with anons from /vg/ generals in 4chan >how to stop being shit at it? You don't! Keep in mind that whoever you play with, they'd be mogged by AI who have an unreachable understanding of the game. Chess is a game about getting better rather than good To actively improve, you need to actually look up on theory according to your level. >>8547 If you are same poster as OP, try to look up for 2-3 openings to "main" as both colors, if possible at least one assuming white E4 and one for white D4. Other than that, try to look up about advantage that is not just pure material (position/space control, doubled pawns, pair of bishops, ...)
>>
>>8552 >>8555 i see. thank you both for the advice.
>>
>>8555 general purpose AI is shit at chess, computers only understand chess as much as the guy that programmed them, they are rated so strong because they can calculate 20+ moves deep into any position
>>
>>8560 By AI I meant stockfish and the sort. These computer players literally plays in ways that a human can't, by seeing so much into the future and doing moves that have an effect only much later in the game
