   Been thinking recently, the net really is a pain nowadays. Large chunks now are all arguments, politics, extreme horny-posting, or "memes", all with no breaks or understanding. Yet these aspects are all now fucking up the real world as everyone overuses the net.
   I don't expect large scale philosophical debates with tons of evidence from well researched experts, but it'd just be nice to have larger chunks of simplistic enjoyment. Circles of people don't grow anymore because of intense (but not entirely unjustified) paranoia about what the added people might do, leaving only small groups of aimless people.
   Porn and horny posts can get annoying, as any place engaging in them now slowly transforms into people trying to make the most "unhinged" fetish filled fanfiction of a post, or posting nonstop images and killing all conversation outright.
   What's the most tiring though is the feeling of having to use a facade to be able to communicate anymore. Sometimes I just get the feeling of not being able to voice full thoughts or being able to voice certain thoughts at all because of the need to keep a certain type of appearance on any given site.
   Not entirely sure where I'm going with this post or what I'm saying. Maybe it's just some bundled up frustration from both the real world and online. Wish I had an actual creative hobby I could use to clear up my mind, but alas I lack any capacity for creativity. For now though, it's time to go back to using anime girls and an entirely too large music playlist as a replacement for feeling. :flan_yea:

     @Iffine Yeah, everything fucking sucks irl and people can't help but shit up online spaces. I've mostly stopped trying to interact with people online outside of fedi since you often can't have an honest conversation without getting fucked by some retarded rule. I've generally found games like Rimworld or Mystia's Izakaya to be a nice distraction from the general shittiness of life.
     
     Also in case I get fucked irl, I always have a plan B (multiple firearms) so if the system wants to be a nigger, I am always prepared to be a niggy back to the system. Helps with not worrying about irl too much.

     @poopernova I really do need to play more games to keep the mind off things. Hell maybe even trying a hand at actually doing some interactive storytelling through Rimworld or some such game to actually attempt something unique. I have no understanding of structuring or proper showcasing though, so it might be a bit much. At some point I'll get to playing Mystia's Izakaya, but it's been one of those games that it's hard for me to actually build up the motivation to start.
     >I am always prepared to be a niggy back to the system
     :flan_laugh: That's a good thought, need to consider it myself.

     @Iffine SORRY BUT THAT AND THE PROBLEM OF FANDOM AND SUBCULTURE WRIT LARGE -- STEM FROM THE DESTRUCTION OF COMMON CULTURE IN REAL LIFE
     AT A VERY IMMEDIATE PHYSICAL LEVEL TOO
     DESTRUCTION OF SHARED PLACES (INCLUDING BROWNS MAKING THEM UNSAFE AND UNDESIRABLE) MADE EVERY MAN A HERMIT IN THE CLOISTER OF HIS HOUSE
     
     THE OLD HOBBYIST DRIVEN INTERNET WAS THE WAY IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS A NICE LITTLE ADDON ON TOP OF A HOLISTIC SHARED CULTURE PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN
     NOW THAT WENT AWAY AND THE INTERNET IS CLIQUE AND FANDOM
     AND YOU CAN'T BOOTSTRAP A HOLISTIC CULTURE FROM WITHIN THE INTERNET -- IT'S SOMETHING YOU MUST PARTICIPATE IN IRL
     
     > I lack any capacity for creativity
     DON'T EVEN WORRY ABOUT THAT LMAO THATS JUST SOMETHING THEATER KIDS MADE UP, ITS NOT REAL
     TALENT IS PRACTICE, AND ART ISN'T SOME SORT OF OOOOO LALALALA THE MUSES OOO DIVINE INSPIRATION IM GONNA BLOW PEOPLES MIIIIINDS
     THATS MARKETING TALK
     ART IS SOMETHING PEOPLE JUST DO AS COURSE OF LIFE
     LIKE COOKING OR WORKING OR PLAY
     
     PEOPLE DANCE AND DRAW AND SING AND WRITE, LIKE BIRDS SING AND BEES DANCE
     YOU DON'T NEED TO BE TALENTED OR INSPIRED JUST GO WRITE NARUTO SELF INSERT FANFICTION FOR YOUR OWN ENJOYMENT

     @nugger @Iffine Fandom is kind of like primitive creativity. You want to be like
     >here is my new and original creation
     But all those creatives are more like
     >wouldn't it be cool if Spiderman had kids with Elsa?
     Then they cover their tracks so it looks like original content.

     @nugger @Iffine Fanfiction is honestly a good stepping off point for learning to write. The board has already been set with all the toys you could want, you just gotta play with them.
