I want you to post Welcome to the board.

Hello. This is /main/ where good posts go. If your post is shit, it goes in the /trash/ ... simple right?
Many posts on this board are made by anonymous users, nobody. So if you make a post without registering an account and logging in, that's who you will be. You won't be able to edit or delete anything you post. I mostly have this so that it's easy for a random passerby to try posting on the site.
If you want to have a name that is yours, you can register an account. I recommend not revealing too much personal information if you choose to do this, since this is the Internet.
The benefits of having your own account: you can delete and edit your posts, you don't have to do captchas, you have less cooldown time to wait between posts, and you can use the shorturl service at https://this.goeshard.org
So... What do you think?
It's pretty annoying when you post a YouTube link and it won't show it without going to YouTube...
but there isn't much we can do about that.
Here is a dog.
You'll notice if the OP has a thumbnail image that is very wide, it doesn't fit the catalog card as nicely as the square ones. It doesn't have to be perfect, and quality content is always more important than format. But it's worth thinking about.
I know. While I still get logs of things that are posted here and will periodically return to see how things are doing, I consider this site to be a portfolio project more than anything. You're welcome to use it if you like it.
Welcome to the deadzone, fam.
when the thread is too long
1. Sometimes a thread is trashed because the OP chose to put it there. This is a very respectable poster. They do not get warnings.
2. Sometimes a thread lives on /main/ for a short time: days, weeks, months. It's because I initially assume that it's possible it will become a better thread and have opted to give it a chance. But as time passes it becomes clear that it's just noise that signals other posters to continue in directions I don't want to see on the front page anymore. I don't hold this against the poster, since I myself was willing to try it out. It just didn't work out, so no warning is issued.
3. When a post gets a warning, it's because I immediately had to move it there for obviously having no redeeming value, or because something was posted in a thread it shouldn't have been so I moved it into a trashed thread. I will try to always state why I issued warning so that you can see what not to do by lurking /trash/.
The TLDR, is that having your thread moved to the /trash/ is not that serious. If you post on /main/ and it doesn't work out, it's not the end of the world.
This guy is pretty funny. This is his best video by far.
The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.

It speaks to how much the American liberal has changed in the last 20 years that this quote seems out of place now.

I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us!
Don’t tell! they’d advertise – you know!
How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one’s name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!

That perches in the soul –
And sings the tune without the words –
And never stops – at all –

as an aesthetic genre, emerged alongside its musical counterpart in the early 2010s. It is characterized by a distinctive visual style that often incorporates elements of early internet culture, 1980s and 1990s nostalgia, glitch art, and surrealism.

slaps! you made?
A lot of the images posted above are post-vaporwave, which is a genre defined by the influence of vaporwave long after it has been and gone. You'll find the Helios head and major 80s icons mixed with liminal spaces and neon pink. It is big in AI generated content and Instagram filler, which is like the fleamarket of the internet. If this sounds like a value judgement it's because it is.
Vaporwave was initially a spur of plunderphonics, a sort of shitpost subgenre of sample music. The genre of Vaporwave diversified into further subgenres like signalwave. Early vaporwave is best defined by Macintosh Cafe - Floral Shoppe and Eccojams Vol 1. This was experimental music with heavy reliance on familiar materials warped and distorted. The familiar was the canvas upon which the distortion became the feature.
Most notably, vaporwave is anti-commercial and stirs up questions of ownership and commercial failure, which is not something that can be done when making commercial-friendly music (i.e. using "original" samples to avoid takedown requests). By making remixes of commercial music it is making a clear statement of intent - this music is not for sale.
This movement into commercialising a hobby saw the rise of the Slushwave genre, spearheaded by "Desert sand feels warm at night". He conducts slushwave parties, which have a wide selection of sample-based artists. The Slushwave parties are good fun, but the artists are rarely vaporwave or vaporwave adjacent, with the majority using their own original samples, or masking as related in order to sell to a new audience.
This says something wider on the topic of the art as a whole. Initially vaporwave asked "what can music and ownership be?". Post-vaporwave says "these are the icons of vaporwave, you must use them as symbols - but you must only reference them by their shadows in order to keep the lawyers placated".
Vaporwave was pottery. Post-vaporwave is the endless recreation of legally distinct Ming Vases.

I agree with your sentiment abour vaporwave as a music genre. It's incredibly disappointing to see not just how vaporwave is used as a vehicle for people trying to push commercial music and commercial record labels in this day and age, but also how people who were on the cutting edge of the genre in the early twenty tens shed all their scruples and race to show their faces as fast they can to capitalize on it.
As a visual aesthetic I tend to be more forgiving. The worst crime that visual artists commit when doing vaporwave is copying people before them, or often times, not being aware of the genre as a sonic movement at all. There is arguably a problem with people not knowing the difference between synthwave aesthetic and vaporwave aesthetic, but overall I'm not as strict in my critiques of the visual aesthetics.
Despite sharing the same name, they don't always have that much in common (the visual and sonic). A lot of times the visual representations had more to do with the early 2010s than with vaporwave in particular, which just happened to blossom at the same time as those visual aesthetics.
Because it's an imageboard, I thought it would be cool to gather a collection of art to put into the thread and show off the image displaying functionality of the site. But I agree completely that vaporwave is more important as music genre than a visual art genre, as iconic as the aesthetic is at this point. It is sad that the majority of people will never know or care about that.

i posted new independent (no album, yet) track. plan to do maybe few of ~these~ revisitations of trad vapor, i.e. neo-proto-vapor; into new album.
here is the new track
https://newgene-mcmxcix.bandcamp.com/track/never-forget
also want to do new homage to リサフランク420 / 現代のコンピュー, from Floral Shoppe by Macintosh Plus, where i take unused sentences to produce new track. (i.e., then, to make album if i make up my mind)
bye, see ya!

ITT public freakouts involving police. Let's at least try not to overly glaze police or alog about how terrible people that we don't know are.
We'll start with the tale of the District Attorney's Daughter, a two part series. In the first episode, she is getting trespassed from a motel room. She refuses to identify herself to the police in a way that makes you instantly dislike her.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOqgX8_AYUQ
Stay tuned for the next episode.
5 months later when police stop her again, they instantly recognize her because she's gone viral in her city for the freakout in the last video. They waste no time putting up with her and pretty much instantly break out the wrap. As bad as her attitude was, I can't help but feel bad for her here.
I know it's a guilty pleasure to watch this brain rotted shit but I like Asmongold.

He’s actually funny. Not afraid to go on unrelated tangents and also to repeat a joke far more than it is funny. Those are the traits I prefer in humour.

I’d like to interject for a moment. What you are referring to as Linux is in fact GNU/Linux or as recently i have taken to calling - GNU+Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself but rather another free component of a full functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

It's a demo for an interactive character creation experience in what could be a choose your own adventure of some kind if it was finished. It has a nice interface, an audio engine, and pretty colors. It can save your character in the browser. That's about it.
That was great! I really enjoyed the aura stat. Do they make everyone a janitor, or was it based on my stats?
I hope you continue with this, it looks like it could be fun.

> That was great!
I'm glad you liked it. I had to rerun through it since it's been so long, but yeah it always picks janitor. The idea was that no matter how esteemed your background was in your old life, you start as a nobody.
I remember the reason I quit working on it is because I expected myself to know where I was going with the story but I really just didn't.
After replaying through it after so long, I do kind of feel like there was potential there that I could maybe re-explore.
