As we know it probably, but the so does everything. Social media is always going to exist though. That change might also come from the companies dominating the market now anyway, like Facebook and the Metaverse.

I wish they sold olive oil in smaller bottles. There is no way I can use up 500ml of condiment oil before it goes off.

>>1716
looks like a funny face

>>1716
wtf. olive oil takes forever to go off. fry some eggs

Wish I could close my ears like I can close my eyes.

I'll occasionally visit reddit for tech support and the like, and every time I do it pisses me off!

>>1723
why?

>>1723
Use old reddit redirect to not kill your ram

I personally just use a user script for redirects.
// ==UserScript==
// @name Redirects
// @namespace Violentmonkey Scripts
// @run-at document-start
// @include https://www.reddit.com/*
// @include https://www.youtube.com/*
// @include https://imgur.com/*
// @grant none
// @version 1.0
// @author -
// @description Redirect certain URLs to better alternatives
// ==/UserScript==

const mykeys = [
"://www.reddit.com",
"://www.youtube.com",
"://imgur.com"
];
const myvalues = [
"://teddit.net",
"://yewtu.be",
"://imgin.voidnet.tech"
];
var currentURL = window.document.location.toString();
for(var i = 0; i < mykeys.length; ++i) {
if(currentURL.includes(mykeys[i])) {
var newURL = currentURL.replace(mykeys[i], myvalues[i]);
window.document.location.replace(newURL);
break;
}
}
To add new ones, you need to put in an @include at the top for full URL to match, part of the portion to replace in mykeys, and what to replace it with in myvalues (they need to be added at the same index in both).

As for reddit, I don't have any special feelings for it. It's just something that comes up sometimes when I search for information. But I can imagine how it could be annoying if you were to engage in conversation there.

>>1725
Why do I visit or why does it annoy me?

The former is because it comes up in search results. The latter is because it has a userbase of 4chan-reject memer weirdos.

Ginger and malt are very underrated flavours in confectionery.

Sometimes I wonder if I don't like imageboards all together. They just seem to be the least bad option, not that I know anything else.

>>1730
I feel that way too, though it's not just imageboards but Youtube and everything else as well. I just don't like people I guess.
I don't like how meme oriented society is now, I also dislike the general abrasive and base nature of society. I think much of that could be attributed to the nature of the internet in general though. In general(but not always) people from lower socio-economic backgrounds are more abrasive and base and of course there are far more of them. So on a platform like the internet the voices of these gruff folk will far outnumber those of more gentle people, in addition to the numbers people with higher levels of education tend to devote more of their energy to their interests and hobbies than poorer people do.

>>1731
I wouldn't know about the rest. I've never really touched other things without a specific goal in mind. They seem to lean more into what I dislike.
"meme culture" is a drain. It's part of why I never really bothered with friends. It's a bit alienating when you don't consume all the same stuff. Spouting the same thing again and again just isn't funny either. Even my awful jokes saved by deadpan delivery are better.

>>1731
Huh. Such a brazen "rich people are better than poor people" post that I don't know how to react. I didn't think this kind of opinion could exist on the internet while we look at the art, play the games, watch the videos and laugh at the comments of the people firmly in the bottom strata.
But, I guess that's how opinions are. One man's "base nature" is another man's "sincerity".

>>1733
Well to that firstly I would point out that Japan is separate form the west, they don't have as much of a bogan, CHAV, gopnik or whatever culture so poor people from Japan aren't that bad. But having said that, many of the people that create the games, art, videos etc, are not from poor backgrounds.

>>1731
I'm with >>1733. I've met plenty of kind people who were poor and plenty of rich people who were jerks; enough that I can say with confidence that they're not just exceptions.

>>1734
Well, I've been on the internet long enough to know that certain opinions can never be changed without life-altering events, and empathy towards a lower economic class from the upper is one of them.
It's such an ingrained disdain that stuff like Bookworm makes prominent use of it in the story, and everyone can relate to it for better or worse.

>>1736
Well in my case it was the opposite. I never even used to think in terms of class, it was only through my dealings with people from lower socio-economic backgrounds that I began to see them for what they were and that I began to think in such terms.

As for that trope. Well, not all are bad(just most) but it's also more of a western thing as mentioned before but also more of a modern thing, most old poor people are fine(though as time goes on that generation is dying), that kind of culture I mentioned before also didn't really exist before.
But that trope is also used for other reasons. The majority of the people watching any media are not going to be oligarchs so it would make little financial sense to cater your media towards them. You will cater it towards the masses instead. And also underdog stories tend to work better in many ways anyway and it's easy to create underdog stories using people form poorer background.

Read this book on class, it's fascinating.

I feel like I'm in the minority here (at least on the web), but I'm way more tolerant of stupid kids than I am stupid adults. Kids have the potential to grow up and become smart. But the vast majority of dumb adults are going to be morons for the rest of their lives.

>>1749
I feel the same way, really. It's why I try to be more encouraging of welcoming newfrens rather than rejecting them altogether, since you can mold them into being better posters. While with obnoxious oldfags they've been around long enough to not feel any pressure to change, or they have a midlife crisis or something and then there post quality falls off the deep end.

Hate swimming

>>1749
Stupid people on the internet or in real life?
It doesn't matter really, it's true for both.

RTS Gamers

I'm sick of seeing people complaining about social media sites while also spending all day on them. If you hate it so much why are you using it? And even don't get me started on youtubers who complain about youtube.

>>1758
I don't get it, complaining about youtube being crap is perfectly reasonable. Unless you expect someone else to magically secure the popularity, algorithms, history, and funding youtube has. Which just won't happen.

Too many seasonal threads @_@

>>1760
Two of them are probably getting deleted

Nuclear Gandhi makes a lot of sense when you think about it. The cycle of reincarnation is broken when everyone and everything is dead.

>>1761
Yeah first and third are mine and relate to the seasonal stream. They're both temporary. First will be getting deleted in less than six hours and third will be next week at some point.
Threads exist to be made, though, and if people feel like making 30 more seasonal threads they can and should. Will they all succeed? Nope, but that's how it works.

It's kind of funny how Indians speaking English will say "sir". I wonder if they'll ever go through de-Anglicization like a lot of colonized countries have. Although I guess India is in a unique position where they would lack a lingua franca to communicate with other than just keeping English around to deal with communicating with all the various Indian languages.

There is this game I am playing called Total War: Warhammer 2.
I don't like Warhammer it seems to be a parody/crude imitation of various other things. There is not much creativity there.

What bothered me most recently was the faction called Tomb Kings. If I were to ask you to list three things you associate with Ancient Egypt what would you say? You would probably say, Pharaohs, Mummies and Pyramids(don't say Cleopatra). So then Tomb Kings is.. Well you can guess.
Everything about it is very bland and uninspired, and that is a shame. I think that people that make games and other kinds of Media often forget that the only reason we think of them as mummies is because they are dead now and that was what has been left behind. It may surprise some people but they did actually used to live at one point.

And then Another Faction that bothers me(well they all do but this is just the one annoying me now) is Brettonia.
This time, if I were to ask you to list three things you associate with Medieval France what would you say? Probably Chivalric knights, grubby peasants and castles. And again that's what Bretonnia is...
But more annoying about that is how they did it. We associate chivalry with King Arthur and that is fair enough, most of us come from English speaking backgrounds and even if we don't English is the lingua Franca. And the King Arthur tales are England's Chivalric literature. But France has her own Chivalric literature. If you are making a medieval French faction it should be based on the legends of Charlemagne and his Paladins not on king Arthur and his friends.

These people are incompetent.

>>1775
>Warhammer it seems to be a parody/crude imitation of various other things
but that's kinda the point of the whole setting, the campiness of it all is part of the charm
the empire is just fantasy HRE too, pretty much all the human factions are just fantasy X

also while brettonnia does take things from medieval france, it is also modeled after post norman conquest england as well, it's kinda rubbed in hard given that the knightly units speak with french accents while the peasant/lowborn units speak with british accents, hence the arthurain legend

>>1776
Well I don't like it.

>>1777
That's something else that bothers me about it, how they senselessly mix things. The High Elves for example take words from Tolkien like Alarille from Galadrielle or Lothern from Lothlorien. But whereas Tolkein actually put thought into what he was doing they are just chopping things up to make up their own words and then they mix it with other names that don't even make sense or come from Tolkein anyway. They just think 'well that sounds elf like that will do'.

>>1775
As Anonymous said before, the allure is both Warhammers is in great part due to their coolness, the settings being so over the top, and their funny combinations such as cathedral mechas and dinosaur-mounted solar artillery.
If you go on any kind of Warhammer thread, that's what you'll see: people roleplaying as characters, coming up with even wackier scenarios, exaggerating already existing things even more, or fooling around with stuff like pic or Khemri TV. If you're looking for hard tolkienesque worldbuilding, WH is just not the best place to do so.

Now that I think about it, does GAR apply to Warham?

>>1775
That's why you play Rome 1. You can play as ancient Bronze Age Egyptians... in 270 BC.

Jokes aside, Rome 1 is a really good game and you should give it a try if you feel that Warhammer is lacking in the RTS department.

It's somewhat interesting how most RTS communities still use specialized forums over Reddit.
They do use discord because they need a chat program to organize games(again reinforcing the case that kissu might need one built in), but RTS gamers are just mentally built different than others

>>1779
I would not say it's cool.

>>1780
??? The fish?

>>1781
It makes some sense, it adds character to what otherwise is just a Greek. They did that with Germania as well, making them pop culture Viking type people(well Pop Culture for the time, now of course Pop culture Vikings have tattoos and weird hair).

>>1783
>I would not
Alas, nobody is perfect.

>>1782
Kissu doesn't need a fucking discord server, we have the irc (two irc channels for fuck sake) and discord breeds degenerate shit.

I wonder what Creative Assembly is going to do once the hype around Total War Warhammer dies. They tried and failed at getting the Warhammer fans interested in "historic" TWs with Three Kingdoms and Troy, and they can't exactly go back to pandering to the old fans either because they seem to have forgotten how to make strategy games that aren't just purely stat based.

>>1785
He didn't say it needs a discord server, he said it needs a chat built-in (probably on the website itself, sort of like what some forums have).

kissu dicksword...

>>1820
They will be able to milk this for a while and then there is 40k which they might try making a game about and there is Lord of the Rings as well though they would be held to a higher standard for that.

But I don't think it matters at this point, whether we like it or not, there is no alternative on the market. If they make a TW ME 3 then people will still play it simply because there isn't anything else coming out like that.

But I do wonder how this will play out, because there will be a huge split between what the TW Warhammer fans want and the rest and they are going to have to decide how they will deal with that going forward.

I really want to go to Hokkaido winter next year but I don't have any travel buddies.

>>1850
Just go by yourself.... I can't imagine travelling with others and don't think it would improve the experience at all.
