Books

it makes no difference what men think of war. war endures. as well ask men what they think of stone. war was always here. before man was, war waited for him. the ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner. that is the way it was and will be. that way and not some other way.

How do you interact with *chan in this day and age? Most of my former channer friends have slowly moved away from the scene mostly just because it feels less interesting and fresh than it used to. Personally, I think it's a bit of rose colored glasses sometimes, but I only got into chans as a lurker in 2016-17, so perhaps the glory days were before my time.

this is a fun one. so, i went to 4 in like 2008 or 2009 from something awful. not sure if you know something awful but it is just a forum, you’d maybe love it. i have been on and off of it since 2004 or 2005.

i never really fooled with any of the others. occasionally a fringe chan will surface and show a spark of greatness that quickly fades. i have hung out on 2 and 8 periodically but never more than an hour or two. just too boring and i am not into a lot of their board cultures.

these days my time on 4 is even somewhat limited. if something exciting happens in the world, i’ll pop on /pol/ to see the hot takes and shitposts. most of my time on there is on /x/k/out/tv/, in that order. 2016 really messed with a lot of the site, and even lately it feels very “dead internet” but it’s maybe the worst internet habit i have that i can’t seem to let go, but i don’t really want to either. everything in moderation, of course.

You underestimate me jawrshua. While I have never posted on something awful, I am familiar with the site in general, lowtax, and the influence it has had.

I generally agree on not being drawn to other altchans. I personally lurk lainchan a lot, but I don't give anywhere else the time of day.

by Fawkes; ; Report

ahh, i didn’t mean to underestimate, it’s just not a very popular place anymore. though, i guess there is still a lot of traffic. i like it. lowtax was a wild man back in the day, with his boxing and doom house. i haven’t watched doom/mood house in forever. maybe i’ll throw one of them up on the page or something. been thinking about redoing it anyway.

what are your boards, generally?

by /josh/; ; Report

No offense taken. I mostly found it funny to begin my comment with "You underestimate me..."

I hope you'll forgive me for pasting this response, since I had a similar conversation elsewhere recently:

I also lurk lainchan far more often than I post. On [4]chan, I basically only visit /po/ to check if my torrent thread is still up and other than that I only visit /vg/tf2/ to check on the community's opinions on game updates and drama and then occasionally /g/ if I'm looking for computer software resources or hardware advice.

Outside of chans, I like to get my edgy but liberal news from Rational Wiki's What Is Going On pages. I have a few discord servers I lurk in for updates on shit I like, such as the /ak/ discord for Girls und Panzer news, the halo 2 vista discord for updates on that game, and a few various other game modding discords that I will check less than monthly.

I also have rss feeds for reason magazine, hacker news, the EFF, xkcd, j3s.sh, and brr.fyi .

Oh and on lainchan, I always go to /megaq/ for the true chronological lainchan experience.

Your profile theme is oddly fitting with my perception of the eras of spacehey. You were the sheriff of spacehey when spacehey itself was a wild west with drama discords and the doxxing and the crazy spam accounts starting up. There was a lot of chaos, but in general it was in the background to a real new community building and growing.

Then you were gone and spacehey felt tumultuous. There was activity on the site, but it was volatile and there was a general unpleasantness to the site as the gore and nsfw bot accounts first started to pop up everywhere and everyone talked about them, making the subject unavoidable.

Now, activity feels much more tempered on spacehey. The gore and nsfw spam is still here, but it's less than when it was at its worst, no one talks about it anymore, and most of the long term users know how to hide it from their own view now, so it's not always all that bothersome. So there's less good and less bad and more waiting, and to reflect this quiet era of spacehey, your profile is now dark and brooding, not in a way that is evil or cynical, but simply a moody space from which you look over spacehey, waiting for whatever comes next.

i really like this take.

honestly, things are very lax lately. part of me misses the old wild west days. loved doxxing, loved stirring shit up. originally my plan was to return as the villain that i crave to be faced with, but who has the time. i think things are good where they’re at now. that being said, it could change at any moment as all things do and will. i’ll be around for it when it does, god willing.

by /josh/; ; Report

I'll have you know that I do have some plans to stir the spacehey pot that are not quite near, but not quite far. Not evil though, I'll say.

by Fawkes; ; Report

i am very fascinated by the concept. nothing i planned was necessarily evil. then again, i think concepts like that are subjective at best and defined in irrelevance at casual. maybe to someone they’d be evil. maybe we could cook up something villainous together. not like there’s anything else going on.

what’d you think? i always thought it was way ahead of its time, messaging wise.

by /josh/; ; Report

I am largely neutral about the whole thing. I think the unorthodox style, while not perturbing to me, was an obstacle enough that I didn't really connect with the media.

i was genuinely thinking on this for a couple days, trying to think of some sort of insight that you wouldn’t typically glean from a platform like this, and all i really came back to are the classics. which, i suppose, are classics for a reason.

i will impart a thought that i am fond of and utilize daily. mouth health is tied to heart health, but mouth health is the first to be neglected when you become depressed. gut health dictates your brain. you’re one organism, except for your eyes which operate on a separate immune system that could turn on you on any moment if it perceives your body as a threat. point being, take care of your gut biome first and foremost and the rest of your body will do as it should for the most part.

by /josh/; ; Report

Thank you for imparting this wisdom upon me.

yeah, it’s really important to not skimp on that. eat a lot of leafy greens, and legumes, find a good probiotic (i can recommend the bacteria strains to look for).

jawrsh. Time does just keep going, doesn't it? I saw your bulletin the other day and contemplated responding, but I honestly couldn't remember what we had discussed the last time we really spoke. And without remembering what last I had told you about my life, I didn't know where to start.

that's the way it goes. regardless of what one does, even if you are to stop, everything will move.

got a new puppy. he's quite the handful. it's rewarding, but stressful.

how is your year going thus far?

by /josh/; ; Report

Good. A dew of my classes have been real snoozefests so far, but the others have been good and I still have hope that the boring classes will get better once we get past basics. Personal life stuff has been going well in almost all aspects as well. I've got a few things I'm procrastinating on, but I'm not really worried about it. Finished reading neuromancer on monday. Great book.

What are your long term predictions on the direction of the spacehey platform in the future?

Report Comment



mostly, i see it mostly staying like this until an eventually moves onto another project. it'll be left dead at some point. i believe it's the only sensible way it can go, for if it changes too much it will not be this.

though, i do wonder if he has a five-year plan or something.

by /josh/; ; Report

I really wish this website was profitable in some way such that it could be a safe bet that even when An loses all interest in providing new features that it would still be a sustainable thing to keep around.

Thoughts on the app?

Report Comment



i didn't think i would like it, but i kinda do. it's good for a quick check in on things. i prefer the web version still, and that's fine, there's no reason to drag anyone about doing any of it. it's very clean and easy to use. no real complaints.

what do you think?

by /josh/; ; Report

I think it is a worse way to use spacehey on its own, but I like it as a little notification center. Kinda like using the steam app to add people on the fly instead of asking it to be a mobile gaming app.

by Fawkes; ; Report

yeah, i think that's a really good way to look at it. it's nice having just the one quick screen to look at.

Are you familiar with the dishonored games? I think you would appriciate the arcane and occult nature of the game's world.

How dare you call dishonored shitass? I love that game so very dearly.

by Fawkes; ; Report

yeah, me too. it's a lot of fun.

by /josh/; ; Report

Have you played all of the dishonored games + dlc, or some subset of the former? What's your favorite level within the scope of the levels you have played?

by Fawkes; ; Report

had to go look it up. i think i may have only played the first one, and enjoyed it. although it was over a decade ago, and i remember playing it in my cabin on the 360. that being said, i do have 2 in my library through psn. maybe i will play it over the winter.

by /josh/; ; Report

I highly recommend making sure you play the DLC for dishonored 1 before you play dishonored 2. It isn't strictly required, but it does give good insight into the motivations and histories of the tertiary characters and the main antagonist. Also the DLC for dishonored 2 is basically a sequel to the knife of dunwall and the story that they tell together is very compelling I think.

by Fawkes; ; Report

in retrospect, i don’t recall that first one being bugged like other bethesda works.

by /josh/; ; Report

Yeah, that's because arcane is the developer and bethesda is just the pu lisher. They can't get their grubby hands too far of the games that aren't made in house. That said, the day 1 pc port of dishonored 2 was super buggy, but they got it fixed up pretty quickly in the weeks that followed.
