Eri is always mollifying people with a fake smile on her face.

About fakeness, pop culture, and putting on a smile.

Cute dog and cat couple animations by a Korean animator.
The tfw no bf miners might relate to the bird.

That was really cute

I'm not into BL as much as I used to (I was a big fujo haha) so the only things that I'm currently reading are the Abarenbo Honey series and a long-ass French gay romance on Fictionpress that I've been following since high school, haha.

I used to really be into cheesy things and nice art, so things like Konbini-kun, the yakuza story drawn by Scarlet (I can't remember the name but she's really popular), and the Kawaii Akuma series were my jam, haha. I was also into Chinese
BL so I would totally recommend webtoons like 19 days (and the GL version Their Story <3). I recently went back to read the webtoon by Haribo and I'm glad it's completed. Most of these are really soft and even if I loved the sexy ones as well I think at the end of the day these might be the ones I come back to and reread, maybe laugh about how unrealistic they were, but still read again, haha.

Same. Now that I started writing about it, I can't stop, hAHA. I still like BL I just want to reminisce about everything.

I kind of fell for Sweet Pool, haha. I played it during the summer of my last year of high school but never really got to finish the game, I think I got a bit more than halfway in ~12 hours? But I played little by little for a few days so i'm not sure.. I remember feeling nostalgic and lost at the same time since the game was p smart and touched upon themes like changes and adolescence, but that went away with the hot scenes lmao I definitely want to finish the game one day now that it's on Steam but I changed my laptop to a mac so rip haha. I used to really like VNs even if it took me some time to get into them.

>>4540
What is the pic you posted from? It looks sweet.

>>4543
Ah if only he would've kept his promise

>>4543
It's from the pc game Sweet Pool! Some scenes were like this but most of them were pretty gory, haha.

>>4545
NTA but BL+gore? Hell yeah I'm downloading that shit lol

>>4511
If you tell me you're also the Billy Idol Cyberpunk anon I'll cry

>>4512
No, but I have the same taste. Please don't cry.

>>4514
As long as you're a fellow cheesy 80s fan I'll be happy.

To stay on topic I'll post my other favorite movie, I think Silence of the Lambs still holds up because among other reasons, it's one of the best portrayals of a female heroine in crime fiction. Despite all the changes from the book, I think it's a great adaptation and I really appreciate the steps taken to put the viewer in Clarice's shoes because she's not just a character to entice the ~male gaze~ and her plot was actually quite feminist for the time, subject matter, male author etc.

>>4517
My dad used to show the scene where Buffalo Bill and Clarice are in the dark together when training soldiers, because he said it was the most accurate film depiction of what it's like to be filled with adrenaline in the face of possible death.

>>4532
That's really cool, and it makes sense because the writer used to be a police reporter.

Tsukimi from Princess Jellyfish is adorable and amazing and I want to give her a big hug. I just finished watching the anime and am now reading the manga, I can't believe I haven't done this earlier.

>>3455
I wasn't expecting the manga to get so deep into the fashion business. It was super interesting.

Nana from Nana

>>2690
The move was aesthetic, but I liked her so much more in the graphic novel.

My waifu

Hooray for a thread revival!
>How did you find out about vocaloid?
I don't really remember, it was a long time ago, maybe around 2008ish? I liked anime too and at the time it was impossible to not know about vocaloid if you liked anime.
>Favorite/Worst song?
It's too hard to choose a favorite, off the top of my head I like these

I don't have any songs I hate, there are a bunch of low-effort covers out there and bad amateur originals if you look hard enough though. For a popular song, I don't like Sand Planet very much.
>Favorite/Worst vocaloid?
Len as my favorite, Gachapoid as the worst, I haven't heard anything he wasn't terrible in.
>Favorite/Worst producer?
Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Last year ago people were lamenting the gradual decline of vocaloid but I can gladly say I'd disagree.
While it's definitely pre-boon level of public prominence in comparison to it's golden age with big names like scop, wowaka, hachi ect retiring, inactive or choosing to pursue music on their own terms after they've honed their skills and it's not just a bit of fun anymore, songs say for example, anything of Balloon's are still pretty viral and are just as consistently polished quality and just as meaningful as the music of yore.
I couldn't be more thrilled that it's becoming slightly more mainstream loving vocaloid and it's being done in such lavish style, too.
Kikuo, JitbataP, Nashimoto Ui, Balloon, Hachi PinocchioP, Powa, Scop are amazing producers and so many hog space on my Iphone.

Here's a PowaPowa-P playlist! May his soul rest in piece

i love kurageP and this is my fav of his works.

kikuo consistently puts out good stuff
here's an older track i still jam to

i don't like things that might depress me

i got enoght of this shit in life

why i whould waste my free timw on sad stuff, while i could do fun things?

>>2569
got to volume 4 and dropped it, made me too depressed and I'm already severely depression so….yeah

Asano may fetishise the fuck out of depression but sometimes you need to get that out first before moving on.
He got fed up with feel good 20-something manga which was what Solanin was and made Punpun afterward which is a brutal take on typical tv romance patterns. It’s fun to see how he grows after each publication imo

I heard that it was good, but the first chapter was too boring for me to read any further. Since the appeal seems to be its "art", I'm glad I didn't continue.

i started reading punpun mainly because of this thread. I really like the art, and find the story and characters pretty interesting. Like most I do see some similarities between myself and punpun. I had to stop reading actually because it was making me lowkey depressed, I'm on volume 10 rn.

>>4157
i enjoyed this, thanks for sharing!

>>4157
It's really cute, anon

This is a long shot considering how long its been since the thread was active, but I'm currently writing an assignment on the 90's/2000's personal website community. Anybody know of any good resources on the subject? I've found a little from this thread and articles i've found by basic searches but maybe i'm missing something.

I didn't partake in any of it myself but i find it really interesting.

>>4361
I dunno if you already have this, but there's https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ucl-press/browse-books/the-web-as-history
The nice thing is that it's an open access press. It looks like chapter 7, “Welcome to the Web: The Online Community of GeoCities during the early years of the World Wide Web," might relate to your topic.

Another suggestion is to maybe search based on the sites or groups that you found along the way? Like Angelfire or Tripod.

>>4362
Thanks so much! This is a great help! I hadn't known where to start because most of the websites I've found so far are from this thread, and googling "personal web pages early 2000's" only gets you so far.

No. Cleaning makes you tired.

If you actually clean insted of watching video you finish it earlier.

>>4409
ugh, you're right. i am just such a lazy lump and need inspiration.

>>4393
Why not? If not for yourself, at least it's something to do!

>>4393

I'm in a similar position. I tried to start up again last year but only lasted like 2 weeks kek.

Let's pick it back up together!!

i used to be but i misplaced my tablet 8 months ago and i don't have time to do things anymore because i'm an adult rip

Long shot, but with character creator apps being more popular again recently, has anyone made their own or signed up for a place like https://picrew.me ?

>>4396
NTA but I'd be up for this! I'm at a chicken scratch level right now though, so be prepared for some ugly drawings.

>>4118
>quizilla
this was my jam
i loved those 7 minute in heaven thingies

>>4117
they're overtly complicated and absolutely messy
also on second thought the subject matter for them isn't 2d, and it doesn't really align with the whole 'nostalgia' theme here, so. i will have to refrain
sorry lol

prime comedy in its day
the finger guns still get me

Disgaea!
I never had the chance to play the games because investing money into PS3s were too pricey but the music and character art kept captivating me.
It almost has a.. western flair in it's musical direction that makes it ridiculously good and distinct imo

>>4149
I like disgaea too, the games are pretty fun. I only play the story though, I've never been into the whole "grind for a gorillion hours" part of it. The character sprites are really cute, I really liked the additional movement of the sprites in the vita release of 3 and 4.
