Just watched this and hated it, it would be awesome as a 20 minute (or less) short film, but instead is dragged to an hour and forty minute slog.
Premise reminds me of House of Leaves and it has good atmosphere but it meanders.

Not sure what even happened in the film. It was mostly still shots of dark corridors and rooms.

>>32236
Yeah I have no clue, the kids parents go missing and they're trapped in a house with a monster who can reshape reality to keep them trapped. Early in the film there was a line from the father stating that Kevin feel down the stairs and hit his head so for the longest time I thought it was going to be revealed that the father was experimenting on his children with some bizarre shifting house technology, but the film ended in such an ambiguous way I don't think there was any actual explanation in film.

I already said what I wanted: moids out of my hobby
being obnoxiously horny in an online game is not a part of its social aspect, and prostrating yourself in front of those types with the defeatist "nothing to be done here, find another hobby" is not the answer

>>39237
What exactly do you propose be done?

>>39238
unfortunately, what I want to propose would be both illegal IRL and against the rules here

but permabanning those who annoy me would be a decent start

>>39239
Unfortunately GMs protect gooners on this game.

>>39239
I see. Well then I apologize for annoying you and I wish you peace and happiness

>>39206
yup i second this, house is fun.

I couldn't really find anything either, pretty strange for a book that has 2k reviews. Also it's only sold on payhip??
I'm sure there's better books out there on the topic

also where are those reviews exactly lol

This is the book where I found out about Wu Zetian the girlboss

No way jose

The world of books, research and even just book reviews themselves don't cease to amaze me. Sometimes I learn there are entire fields of research that are well known in the academic community, but not among the general public. They express my own ideas much more coherently than I can and it fascinates me how hard it actually is to translate one's own ideas.
Book reviews, too, always make me realize things I never thought about. I don't know why is that, maybe I'm just more ignorant than the average reading person. Either way I enjoy it and see it as a challenge.

Here's some books I am interested in.

Developmental psychology / psychopathology
Dante Cicchetti — developmental psychopathology (especially developmental cascades, and how trajectories emerge from interacting biological and environmental factors)
Gilbert Gottlieb — probabilistic epigenesis

Affective neuroscience / emotion and cognition
Antonio Damasio — Descartes’ Error
Jaak Panksepp — Affective Neuroscience

Clinical neurology / narrative approaches
Oliver Sacks — The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat (especially the integration of clinical observation and narrative structure)

I have just stopped with public discords entirely. They're all full insufferable of moids lusting over little girls.

I don't like having games on my phone, is there an application of it that I can run on my laptop?

just wanted to share how well ren matches against the new free bg!!

someone is about to get banished to the lands of the yi

I've started studying mahjong terminology and rules instead of just relying on the game to do everything for me. There's so much terminology to remember and I'm not even to the scoring yet.

Okay, okay. Fine, I'll play a round.

first anime I hated was High School of the Dead because I think it was the first time I truly encountered something so obviously made for people to jerk it to. I wanted to see an apocalyptic anime, I got 4 uninterrupted minutes of slo-mo boob physics.

After that, I've really hated several guys I knew introduced me to under the pretense of it being really deep or really good, in no specific order: Sword Art Online (I had to tap out after S2, awful, but I admit I liked Asuna in the first half of the first season, then they basically shelved her), Re:Zero (no redeeming qualities in protag, women want him anyway – but the time travel! who cares), pretty much any iteration of the Monogatari series (Bakemonogatari, etc) even though the one opening was pretty catchy it's more unremarkable guy landing a bunch of hot chicks in high school that want him anyway including an ostensible lesbian and one or both of his sisters, but it also pretends to be 2deep4u (and the guys also assume "woah maybe you just didn't get the subliminal meaning" which, shut the fuck up PLEASE I don't care if you do jerk it to cartoons, I don't want to be forced to watch this more) and idk, recently I haven't watched much anime, so I have nothing to be mad at.

There are anime I like, honestly, but there's too much Isekai slop gunking everything now for me to be keen on trying to find anything good. (that said, I did think Log Horizon was pretty good and it's one of those..)

I hate monogatari too but mostly because it feels so pretentious

I dislike anime that's intended for weebs, moe-shit and such. And i dislike censorship of drugs in anime. Anime has become stagnant and repetitive, because japs are too afraid to try new things and just imitate each other.

>>39138
>anime that's intended for weebs
>weeaboo: an immature non-Japanese person who's obsessed with Japanese pop culture and idolizes Japan through surface-level knowledge like anime tropes, mis-uses random Japanese words, etc. as opposed to more knowledgeable and mature non-Japanese Japanophiles and anime/manga fans who put in the effort to learn real Japanese and are familiar with actual Japanese culture
The word has lost all meaning, I swear to god. Weeaboos cannot be Japanese, and vice versa.

What you mean is "otaku". Anime intended for otaku. That's exactly what Hayao Miyazaki has complained about, if I'm not mistaken.

>i dislike censorship of drugs in anime
That's probably because of Japan's strict anti-drug laws and the impact it has on Japanese society.

I got baited really bad to see Mikakunin De Shinkoukei. I thought it was going to be a paranormal stuff anime with lots of jokes on it. But no, it was all just an anime centered around the pink hair girl and how big her boobas were.
This anime's ratings are way too high online. It should be like 2/10 with how bad and boring it is.
