HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

"Embrace the oddness." We humans often don't like the change, the irregularities happening around us. It makes us feel tense, even scared. If a built system works just right enough, we don't try to change it. We only improve it when necessary. We call them laws, traditions, cultures, beliefs and so on. Stability is the most crucial part of a healthy society. That's why making a radical change is one of the most craziest things a society could do. They can actively create a disturbance. And no one knows what will be the consequences of such actions. You are following me so far, right? Good. Even though we don't like it, we get attracted to the oddness. Like a moth to a flame. It feels intriguing to experience such rare things. A ghost tale you've heard is probably someone else's imagination, but what if it's not? That possibility creates a disturbance in your mind. You don't know what could be the consequences if said ghosts were real. Are you going to see one too? Will it haunt you? What if they can talk? Now, let's change the things a little bit. What if we mix this oddness with art? How can we do that? How can we portray that weird feeling? "Feel the weirdness." One way to create that feeling is through paintings. I'm going to show you someone that does it perfectly. Suguru Tanaka, an artist with an amazing skill to draw something so unusual yet familiar. These are just examples to show you how paintings can make you feel... different. But what about other forms? Without giving you a wall of text let's jump onto the next one, games. "Play the dreams." Okay, this one is somewhat already known. Have you ever heard of a little game called "Yume Nikki"? It's a great, dream-like game with no story. I won't spoil much but expect some surprises here and there. You explore these unique worlds while trying to go to the next one: Yume Nikki is an amazing experience, really. Though I admit, it can feel boring if you are not interested in slow paced games. But the feeling of exploration is still unmatched and only succeeded by its own fan made sequel. This game has an amazing soundtrack too, I still listen to it after all these years. And you heard it right, this game has a fan made sequel called "Yume 2kki"! Now, Yume 2kki is literally a trophy. It's a fan game that is clearly made with love. It's actually still being developed almost monthly! There are thousands of maps, yes, thousands of them for you to explore at your own pace. Got stuck? Head over to the extensive wiki that basically covers all the maps. Here are some of the maps to show you how creative the fans can be:

Dude your topics are so interesting you should start making YouTube videos or something

This was a good read man! It's a shame that we are in a situation like this. Hopefully one day, we'll finally create a better world for all of us, also for our children.

I recently watched this movie called "The Sixth Sense" and in the movie one of the characters said to just write without thinking and you'll end up writing stuff you didn't know was inside you. I like that kind of and wanna bite his style. For these I am just gonna think "out loud" in a sense. I realized maybe I am not educated enough to really appreciate paintings. Like I recently went to an art museum and none of the paintings really spoke to me. I did like the religious stuff even though it's not the religion I follow, That probably means something. I mostly enjoy sculptures, I think they are the closest thing to encapsulating the true beauty and individuality and similarities between all people. They are made with the intent to preserve and they are to be taken kind of at face value while still giving me the narrative that its trying to push. I don't mind having to think when looking at art. But something about paintings just don't stick with me. I realized all my blogs have been one block of writing and maybe that's not normal. In school they made us write big ass paragraphs. sometimes my paragraphs in essays would be 2-3 pages long. but the professors didn't care the grade was still A+. thanks for tuning in today's work rant was lowkey not that serious.

Bruh I haven't been on my pc in too long. it feels so refreshing. Being employed is overly time consuming. I wish I could go back to being a shut in (Unemployment I am waiting)

Thank you so much! It brings me genuine joy that you liked it. And the most important! #savetheinternet! Oh nooo! Hahah, of course it's not dumb! You have real emotions, you are a human being, a kind soul! Thank you for reading my post!

profile is changed! YAY!!!

Nuclear stuff especially bombs, radiation is scary. I really hate radiation and the after effects of nuclear melt downs like Chernobyl or Fukushima and then the fact that u can put that in a bomb and drop it on someone is even scarier.

New years resolution is to watch the entirety of the fate franchise that has been animated. Finished the fyuki grail wars last year and just started on apocrophya a few days ago.

You noticed!? Yes I am the fnaf guard. Jokes aside, yeah I tend to be a perfectionist meaning my work is never perfect. I have a battle with my inadequacies. But, I will keep trying. The post originally was talking about how paintings aren't really my favorite form of art, and that I feel like a poser if I were to say the paintings actually make me think. I think the art I really want to do is filmmaking and writing novels. But a man can dream!

I am so afraid of water.

Plot. The animation can be mid, the art can be mid but if the plot is baddly developed or just bad in the first place it is hard to make up for that. I have a hard time watching seasonal isekai seeing 50% of them have almost the same plot, but somtimes i just have to bare with it.

Some of my faves from the Fall 2025 season https://myanimelist.net/forum/?goto=post&topicid=2247100&id=73668117

happy new year, everybody! i wish you all the best in the upcoming year

Hi guys I am new here to make some memorable moments I am no one to discuss anime so I am here.

Missed me?

hello everybody, this is my oldest drawing, Nelliel of Bleach https://x.com/ToshiroFudo/status/1449488812657332225?t=3QBSBzkMRx1ifgt52cZKgA&s=19

Welcome to the forum. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Followed by several other Zelda games and a mix of oldies and newer games.

hope you find a room here

Soo..i'm here again ig.

hello hi

Get this guy a true!

I’m probably gonna do Mint, but arch is speaking to me. But I don’t want to become a stereotype of an insufferable arch user. I think each distro does matter. A lot of distro’s are made with a philosophy in mind. I believe if you can be intentional in what you do you should be intentional. Becoming a representative of your belief through your actions. After death all we have is the life we lived and the things we stood for.

Thank you Mr Garden. You truly have an acquired taste. Dude I usually liked the 90s games for the pcs like heretic and ofc Doom. I thought the mapping and fps gameplay was revolutionary. When I first tried to teach my self programming (I got frustrated and gave up.) I was trying to make a text based rpg only to realize that lowkey gui is very important and I do not have the time to cultivate this skill yet. I love the maximization of low power retro tech. The fact we had soldered RAM which usually went only up to 512mb. It baffles me because during that time we had games where you could play a lot. It goes to show how much horrid Windows bloatware is pissing me off. Time to switch to Linux (definitely on my next pc build). I think “low” pcs are a marvel of technology. Being resourceful and taking tech back to the hands of the people and not corporations. To add on the “play alot” I meant the capabilities of those computers are not short of what you can do today. They had video editing, emailing and so much more. Stuff that now takes like 8x the amount of ram ability. It’s almost as if to go forward tech is de evolving.

PEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The next Batman movie's cast looks fire! - Lil' Chuckles as Joker - Knightly Killa as Batman

I can't believe how much radiation is being reflected in every second thanks to the earth's magnetic field and the atmosphere. The Sun is constantly throwing nuclear explosions towards us and we don't feel a thing. It's incredible.

LET'S GOOOOOO!

Welcome indeed : )

Welcome to the Forum.

Banana Fish!!!! Its so well written and emotional but still hooks you, i really recommend it!!!!! Cried multiple times no matter how many times I watch it

Naruto Shippuden

Welcome to the forum Ella

Welcome back! "29 years young" is a great way to think of age, you got a long and prosperous life ahead of you!

Welcome!

Finished Cinderella Gray’s 2nd cour & hoping for a continuation. As I’ve noted before, didn’t get very far in my initial attempt to watch the original Umamusume. But this latest incarnation is most likely my #3 of 2025 (behind MHA Final Season & Dandadan season 2). And yes the next to last episode made me tear up

Oh, sounds pretty cool, huh! "Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon" just the name itself sounds intense, especially since you're into magic/fantasy/adventure stuff. It's interesting that it's a bit different from your usual feel-good watches, a revenge story but not overly dark, with great powers and graphics. I'll definitely have to check it out, and thanks for the offer to share! Also, good to know about "A Wild Last Boss Appeared" making your top 10 list, sounds like those last two episodes really hit different.

I have been watching anime since i first saw Sailor Moon so i am staying with it until the earth goes bye bye or i die of old age and turn to dust. So i am sticking with it.

Wow, thank you for appreciating my work. To be honest, I have been on this journey for decades, often stumbling along the way. I chose paths other than drawing, but I always returned to it. Sometimes it feels like if I don't draw, it's a betrayal to myself. I have put a lot of effort and time into reaching this moment. Thank you for the compliments. I have always focused on line art because I believe that through linear constructive drawing, you can convey the whole idea without delving into shadows. But I feel like my rendering leaves a lot to be desired, so I am training to get better at it. I'm glad you noticed. I wish you patience because in drawing, results come very slowly, but once you start to "see" the entire drawing in your mind, you'll be surprised how your hands will draw exactly what you want. I would say that developing volumetric-spatial thinking is half the success. I would be happy if you continue to follow my work. Thank you again for the kind words.

My first work under a new pseudonym I want to promote my art on various platforms, but I can’t top up my PayPal due to well-known circumstances. Is there any chance you guys might need some art that you could order from me? And pay via PayPal. That would be great.

I like to camp but more in the way that @efaardvark just mentioned in this post I like to be out in the woods exploring and get away from the city to the woods but I want to come back to a fully suited up RV where I can still watch cable tv and get on my laptop lol ~ This is why I don't want to sleep outside on the ground a snake or something might decide I'm its new best friend XD
