/int/ - *Ominous shitposting in the distance*

Personally what I like in Japanese songs is that one type of rhythm I can't really describe better than as if it was a wave, building up and up and then it crashed down elegantly with a lot of momentum which then later used to build another wave in the song.

Because they are just pure comf.

As a musician myself I can explain some aspects of it.
Most come down to pleasing chord progressions that are typical from traditional Japanese music mixed with pleasing western musical elements and vocals engineered to be good.
Western pop music today is just about sell products for global masses while Japanese pop music is a "less processed food". Take white sugar as west pop and demerara sugar as j pop, pretty much that.

Ha, good times back then, posting more Japanese OST comf because I'm bored.

Nice work Ernst, it is added. Singing sounds pretty solid for me, no worries. Also: Noooo, now I can't dab on /int/ for not contributing this time!

>>5824
>Noooo, now I can't dab on /int/ for not contributing this time!
Oh, the agony. Getting something you want and at the same time NOT getting its opposite. You are truly suffering.

>>5824
Well, I mainly posted it on /int/ because it's in english. I also thought it might motivate genuine /int/ dwellers to contribute something.

>>5841
>>5869
I was just joking, don't worry.
>I also thought it might motivate genuine /int/ dwellers to contribute something.
Yes, I hope so too, we still need a few entries for a full-fledged album, and more /int/ songs would mean more diverNsTity, so it can be a real Ernstalbum, and not just an al/b/um.

Jimmy Neutron is also a genius.

Coincidence?

I really want a full *lorica segmentata* armor set with full legionnaire gear, but I don't have the tools (or gear in general) to make that stuff myself and buying it is very expensive.
Also I would have no place to store it and I wouldn't wear it anyway because any kind of roman themed fairs are basically non-existent and I don't want to be part of any reenactment scene.

Then why do you want it?

Because I want it. I don't know, I just think they're neat.
And a want does not have to be coupled to a need.

There is an english translation of Lord of the Weed, a famous early 2000 (at least I think it was early 2000) german Lord of the Rings-parody. For your convenience I skipped the boring introduction sequence in the video link. Despite such synchros being common today, it still holds up well I think.

I still know it by heart.
And everytime I watch FotR, I speak along, to gf's chagrin.

Before "World of Warcraft" and "Lineage" people played games such as "Galaxy Plus". It's something like Civilization but a party is asynchronous, can last several weeks, has much more players and you broadcast your turns by email.

Wanted to give out a note in the library today but when I turned around and wanted to approach her I saw some guy suddenly being next to her in the "taking a break zone" where she hangs out most of the time doing her work the last days. Could be a friend, could be her bf, I did not approach her and will probably not pursue any further (she took a selfie in that moment). Sad, a cute dark-haired smoker she is. Sitting there with her headphones in concentrated on stuff.

No wonder you guys had no thought-out rationalizations for being participants in the animal holocaust industry.

You're all fucking carnists.

>Why the fuck is airism "not a real thing"?

maybe there are beliefs about breathing have you been looksmaxxing by sleeping with your mouth closed, mouthbreather? but is it a system?

Doctor's appointment went really smoothly. Got there early and finished early. Then I went to work. The issue is that we're running out of data to process. I'm still gonna go in for 8 tomorrow but I'm not sure I'll get paid for the whole day. At this rate I'll never fucking get a Macbook with an extra monitor.

Had two coffees and then I went off to the workshop meeting. On the tram I witnessed a Gypsy spit on the floor and I had a brief moment of internal Chuddery. I was there early so I was tasked with getting some snacks for the meeting.
It was pretty long. It wasn't just us students but also the heads of the cabinets.
We discussed the admittance procedure for next year, and the head of the workshop said that "We have to be careful to ask sensitively worded, politically correct questions, like you can't have it be political at all" and I joked that "So you mean it can't be: WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON THE FACT THAT THE IMPERIALIST BASTARDS ARE STILL OCCUPYING THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF KOREA?" in a really harsh, propagandistic tone and it was a laugh riot. Really, most of the meeting was a laugh-riot.

Really, the atmosphere was very relaxed. Some nostalgic stories, jokes and experiences with academia. It really felt like we were equals. Or even if not that, as if we were not just passive listeners of the jokes the "masters" were telling each other and us.

I found some fresh paprika finally so I will eat that for dinner now that I am home. It's so hard to come across good paprika for some reason. I hate it because it's perfect for dinner or breakfast with some bread and cheese.

Work is very soul crushing but also not as bad as I remember. I just wish I got paid finally. The quantum-money. I have money but not in the present time. In the future I have a lot.

Though for a second I felt incredibly melancholic today. Don't know why. Maybe I was just getting tired. I was just looking at some books on the shelf at college and it hit me that time's passing.

Sinead O'Connor dead. Then again what else was she famous for apart from a Prince cover song and being batshit crazy?

It's funny how you are triggered. But from what I usually share with Ernst on my work there is more or less angry speculation going on in your post. You either miss the point by speculating or you tell me things I know and have been told a thousand times. It's like you hear someone turn on the lawn mower, familiar but annoying in a sense, there is no gain to make.

I just need(ed) time to get over expectations. I don't write this thesis for anybody than myself, it won't be published etc. It's my expectations regarding good work that satisfies me being an obstacle given that I cannot write like people who put years into their books that I enjoyed reading.
The funny thing is that you accuse me of not working on my problems or that my supervisor does not help me while you have no idea what has been done. And above all, I will finish my thesis the day I need to finish anyway. There is not much going around that and I still have some time left until the term is over. Once I have my stuff together, the structure is there and the notes from the preperation/search phase giving me a "quick start" I usually work well and relatively stable and in flow. Some people start and do bleeps here and there having progress all the time and some people take time and then can suddenly gain traction and speed fast enough because they can unload a good amount of work that did not seem like progress from the inside (and outside).

Why can I say this? Because I actually have a good object, a crystallization point, and sub-theses that point in a promising direction, it's just that I'm still looking for a main thesis that is not going for the obvious. I have a good feeling of having out sorted out within the next days. And then I can finally start reading the rest of the material that seems important and tackling more secondary literature that helps me inform and frame the object.

Also part of the difference here probably stems from you and me coming from different fields where common practices regarding masters thesis and even dissertation might differ I found out economics majors just get their topics handed out, or they can chose from a range, maybe it is similar in STEM, probably not always but more likely than in the humanities where you won't get told what you will be doing or what needs to be done. What is expected and how people go on about it. Certain things will be the same because academia, but it's in the details.

>>4613
> it's just that I'm still looking for a main thesis that is not going for the obvious
...and you've been saying this forever, too.
It's funny you are making the lawnmower analogy here, because it fits you perfectly.
Obviously there's a lot of speculation going on here, but every post of yours is essentially the same, which will, with the information you are providing, of course lead to speculation.
And since we can't look into each other's heads, I can only work from this lackluster information you are giving me, and what I am seeing is someone who is, for a lack of a better term, just fucking around. If you don't want people to get this impression, provide necessary additional information.
Then again,
>I don't write this thesis for anybody than myself, it won't be published etc
So it's just a hobby project, and if you are not going to publish it, why even tell anyone in the first place? It's clear you want someone to acknowledge what you are doing. Sadly the only person doing that is one who will question everything you do because, as mentioned before, with the information you are sharing, the picture one gets of you is that of a way too cerebral, undecided procrastinator who isn't able to move forward because of his countless "ideas" and "questions", which functionally makes you the same as a pothead sitting on his couch the whole day, and yes, that triggers me.

Again, piracy is NOT stealing.
Again, piracy does NOT affect sales, in either direction (and I never claimed that piracy helps sales).
So any of your arguments that have nothing to do with reality are invalid anway because you are arguing from a faulty premise.
>Plenty of evidence to back up how they've suffered because of piracy
Which is why I would like to see that evidence.

>And by the way, Factorio has a demo.
Well shit I didn't even check because I don't even expect games anymore to have demos.
When they will eventually come to their senses, I will buy the game fair and square.

>>4557
Ok, so in the case of SteamPirate it
>does NOT affect sales, in either direction
Do you really think so? What do you base your assumption of sales not being affected on? Please, elaborate. You must have a source for this, right? You asked me to provide evidence for music and film industry being harmed by piracy so I'll return the favor here.

>Again, piracy is NOT stealing.
Are you really this confused? I wonder, do you just reply after reading five random words in posts here and there.

>Which is why I would like to see that evidence.

>In 2008, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) reported that its six major member companies lost US$6.1 billion to piracy
> the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA)
Oh come on now, next you are arguing that Russia is winning the war because RT says so.

Although, interestingly from the very same paragraph:
>However, a study conducted on data from sixteen countries between 2005 and 2013, many of which had enacted anti-piracy measures to increase box office revenues of movies, found no significant increases in any markets attributable to policy interventions, which calls into doubt the claimed negative economic effects of digital piracy on the film industry.

So, there you have your evidence :^) *chef's kiss*
