>What do you do while everyone else is sleeping? Pretty much what I do during the day, honestly. Especially when it's -30 outside, I can't see for shit, and everything is covered in ice. But also, >>2611 >What websites do you browse? I try not to, but I can't help humping a few bookmarks for content: gab, bitchute, late, 8chan. Idle scrolling is bad for you. >What hobbies do you do while the moon is high? Programming. Lately I'm learning Forth and Scheme, and trying to make it so that I can send code from my editor to an interpreter running in the background. Japanese, too. Gonna watch this titty witch play Chrono Trigger later and try to absorb. I saw a TED talk yesterday saying that you can learn a language in six months if you immerse yourself AND actively try to grasp meaning. You need to be in a state of half-ignorance in order to grow; you won't learn anything from total ignorance or total knowledge, and the lynchpin is context. I understand the context of CT very well. https://youtu.be/m88Eok9_6zc Educational titty witches. What an age we live in.

>>2748 You just want to watch some buck tooth, slant eyed thot and simp for her. You aren't going to learn a language by watching titty streamers.

>>2749 How's your night going? Are ya winnin, son?

>what do you do while everyone else is sleeping meditate, talk with eurobros, wait for something to happen. sometimes i cook. >what websites do you browse this one and other altchans. that's pretty much it. I've been trying to catch up on my reading more than surf the cyberwaves lately. right now I'm trying to familiarize myself with Jung. >what hobbies do you do while the moon is high /nightwalk/

>>2746 > What do you do while everyone else is sleeping? probably jacking off or thinking about things i could've done and daydreaming (but this is when everyone is sleeping so it's nightdreaming ?) > What websites do you browse? Reddit, Youtube, /Late/, Discord > What hobbies do you do while the moon is high? Thinking about becoming a game dev and drawing shit but doing nothing about it because im a lazy shit cunt

>>2754 I've been thinking about being a game dev since 2017 or so, it combines a lot of skills I like (Programming, music making, art) and I think I'm just gonna put the foot down and go for it cause I've been waiting for nothing for the past 3 years.

>>2750 I am.

>>2755 Definitely go for it. I just hope you're not the type to lose motivation quickly like I am. Been trying since 2010 to make games and all I have to show for it are a Tetris clone, some puzzle game based on another anon's idea, and at least 5 unfinished projects. Maybe I just dream too big. About the only advice I can provide is to use a premade engine instead of making your own. Also, if success is one of your goals, then you've got to network with people. E.g. if your game is inspired by another game, look for a community centered around that game and try to make friends there as you're working on yours. If you're lucky, someone there might have a decent following and will share your game with their buddies if they like it.

If you're lucky, someone there might have a decent following and will share your game with their buddies if they like it. qft. I never had much success with gamedev. Lots of ideas (many of which were good enough for others to independently invent and implement) and plenty of talent as a programmer, but I always insisted on doing things "my way", which is to say "not using any gay-ass engine" like gadot or unity. But worse was my refusal to network, which was partly owing to my failure to develop an idea with the intention of selling the finished product or which other people might at least plausibly give a shit about. You have to make gaining some kind of return part of the plan, because the lower you aim in that regard the faster you'll realize "if I'm going to sweat this much over a task, I should apply the effort to something else in my life that'll actually matter."

>>2758 >Also, if success is one of your goals, then you've got to network with people. i might be the weird one here because making profits isn't the only reason i want to become a game dev because i like sitting on a computer typing shit and i really like coding but again im a lazy shit cunt so i don't go very far (for now maybe) and i used to draw a lot (not very good mind you) but now i barely touch a pencil thinking about rekindling my past hobbies to better myself

>>2758 If you're barely done it in ten years you have no real interest in it. >>2760 Less than 1% of games make a profit If you're doing it to make a profit you will make one game and never touch game dev again. >>2787 I wish there was a website good for finding new hobbies. All the click bait ones are bitch basic or consider trading stocks as a hobby

I collect old stuff, because I pretty much don't like new stuff. If I had the space and money, I'd get a real library going, and some old computers from the 80's. But since I'm a poorfag, I instead download lots of related stuff, and use emulators.

>>2795 The feel of using an older system and emulation is very different. Emulation by cart feels slightly closer to the original because you have invested in it. Being able to download hundreds of games at once and switch to them with a flick of the wrist makes them all equally worthless. Having to get up and change the cart and physically buy/get it makes you value them a lot more.

>>2806 I'm mostly interested in computers though. Basically everything from early kit computers like Nascom up through the death of Commodore (mid 90's). My parents bought a text-only CP/M computer in the early 80's (Osborne 1) that I got to use on occasions. That was my first real exposure to computers and everything about it felt immensely satisfying to me. Nobody taught me anything, but we had all the (very extensive and high quality) manuals that came with the computer and documented everything about it that anyone from complete novice to seasoned assembly language programmer would need to know about it. Sitting down in front of the computer at age 9 with those big fat binders with thick paper that talked about CP/M commands, batch files, MBASIC, memory layout, etc. was pure magic. I don't think this experience could be replicated today, because computers have become too common and appliance-like. Back then the user was really expected to learn and everything was designed to facilitate that. Some years later (~ 1985) I got my own very first computer, an Amstrad CPC 6128. It was similar to the one in pic, same green monochrome monitor, but a 3-inch floppy drive in the place of the tape drive. And also it had twice the memory (128KB in two banks, since the Z80 can only directly address 64KB at any given time). I never bought any games for it (well I didn't have the money anyway) but I had a few dozen blank floppy disks that soon became filled with games copied from other kids at school. One disk could fit about a half dozen typical commercial games like Arkanoid, Gryzor, Ikari Warriors, Beach Head, Ghosts 'n Goblins, Knight Lore, Paperboy, Gauntlet, etc. Some were bigger than others, but generally that was about what I could fit on those disks. Now I didn't have "hundreds of games", but I had a heck of a lot, enough that I never got bored or managed to finish most of them. But I kept trying, because getting to the next level that I never saw before was a kickass experience that I doubt can be replicated today, with all the screenshots and spoilers floating around. Again another magical experience that's been lost. And it was also a voyage of discovery, because for the most part these games didn't have much documentation. I mean, if you actually bought them you'd get manuals or at least a blurb on the cassette or diskette case inlay, but these pirate copies were just cracked and nothing more. So it was also kinda fun to figure out wtf the game is about, because for many of them I'd never even heard of them before (other than the obvious arcade ports).

>>2807 That's pretty much how most nerd's childhoods went in Europe. The C64 was every where and it was so easy to pirate games. You would have literally hundreds of them because they cost like £2 from the news agents. It was a glorious age for random shit and pestering your parents to buy you castle quest 7 with your milky bar.

>>2848 >KYS Not cool anon

>>2848 didn't know people still hated on reddit, anon retards being retards as usual

>>2856 I understand lurking Reddit after it smothered countless smaller sites to death, but it's still complete cancer.

>>2856 i usually use reddit for porn, hentai and other coomer shit

>>2856 Reddit is a bad and dangerous site. Their upvote downvote system in specifc. They dont even show invidual upvotes and downvotes, just the total. It kinds of subtly programs people to think the most upvoted comment is the right opinion and the downvoted one is a bad one. Then add the fact that most of the site is left leaning to the point its a liberal circlejerk. Reddit will brainwash a guy into a npc with no thinking of his own.

>>2866 Reddit is not "left leaning". It's completely left and abusively so. There are countless subs which break the rules and are clearly bullying people but it's the right people so they can do it.

>>2914 what I'm saying is, until shit gets decentralized, fucking deal with it, nothing will change

>>2923 i disagree. i redpill people on the holohoax and niggers all the time. you just have to know how and where to ban evade. shit, pissing off the mods is half the fun
