>>2389 >full potential We've got basically zero faggots, a handful of active artists, and no CP spam to speak of. You're doing great. The only thing that I take serious issue with is the guy pumping out AI slop since he used to be the anon who collected and dumped stuff made by kemono artists on twitter (and because I've started drawing a little bit for personal fun, and I've gained a much deeper appreciation for visual art and distaste for AGI). But that's his problem. >monastery Nice. I've wanted to visit one myself, but I've always thought it was kind of an all-or-nothing commitment. >icon I think what you're trying to say is that anime as a word and as a style are both strongly influenced by Western animation, and early Western animation from the rubber hose era and prior actually has a lot of similarities with modern anime (Betty Boop is the first chibi girl, perhaps?). I'm not a fan of that particular illustration by Owen Cyclops because I do think that there needs to be some craft put into a shape/painting in order for it to be spiritual or moving, but I get the point both it and you make. >>2390 >>2394 The etymology and popularity of both words derive from the "30 year old boomer" meme which was psyopped into mainstream consciousness via a Discord clique about 6-7 years ago. There was then a trend of making simulacra using the -oomer suffix because the heavy vowel sound triggers something in the ape brains of most people, and the majority of modern communication is simply trying to harness linguistic magic which they do not understand. Thus, a cynic is a doomer; an optimist is a bloomer; a romantic is a swooner, a porn addict is a coomer, and so on. This is also why words like troon(er) and gooner have become popular; they technically existed earlier as tranny + goon (meaning SA user who paid tenbux) or as in "gooning" in the hyperfetishistic sense. Words like this also serve practical purposes in evading word filters on social media, because the curry niggers who run them are actually so fucking stupid they can't identify troon as a euphemism for tranny, nor can they design LLMs to do so. But yes, word magic, it really is that simple. If you want to see this notion of words being long-lost magic symbols that we activate with our voiceboxes explored more, you must read Snow Crash. I will also tell you something that literally nobody else on the face of the internet has seen fit to mention: Snow Crash is an incredibly fun and funny read, and you will have a good time regardless of what your reason for picking it up is. I suppose most people are too busy in their quest to add books to their List of Quote Tweet Gotchas to appreciate the written word anymore.

>>2389 Thanks, I looked a little bit on the theory of forms after you mentioned it and I could get the basic idea, I still need to read more on Plato and the other guys, remembered a IRL friend who is also interested in philosophy. I heard something similar in the mgtow bubble years ago (more specifically on the topic of "waifuism", have you heard about it?) What I could get regarding western and anime is that in a way what has been going on in the western media industry goal for de-sexualization and masculinization of female characters due to things that, of course, everybody here knows well. And with that in a way one could get a feeling that something isn't as it was before, the (mainstream) "muse" ideal that was the status quo not so long ago. A good example is Stellar Blade ( I will hold myself from calling it a "gooner game" after reading the latest posts), I won't judge the game's quality here but we can remember the rage cries from the gaming "journalists" to this title simply because it had a pretty, idealized (in the sense of the theory of forms again) woman as the main protagonist. Other example is Atomic Hearth, for two reasons that we all know. I think that this episodes show that at least here in the West there has been a huge lack of something that we had in the past and we desperately try to get back, at least this is what I could formulate from the idea, specially regarding the idea of femininity that seems so lacking today. (with that I imagine that we could also trace a parallel with the article that you've send (nice site btw), but in a more transcendental manner of course) >monastery Cool, recently I moved back to a city with a big catholic influence (even on the name of the city itself), and between my last post in this thread and now I have visited the city's main cathedral a couple of times, although there are at least a couple more churches in town that I am planning to visit too, I even live near one as I can hear their bells from inside my bedroom. As >>2395 said, the commitment for entering a monastery is big, I could only imagine it being a good place to disconnect from the modern world, I also wanted to visit one if there was a opportunity.

>>2395 >>2397 Do you remember how monasteries used to play a big role in caring for travellers and such? I don't know how it is in the Catholic world (I imagine it's still the case there), but in Eastern Orthodoxy it's still kind of like that. You can visit monasteries or stay at them for a bit if you give the monks a bit of a head's up first. Like a lot of things in the church, it's still around, and you can still participate in it even though it's mostly outside the modern consciousness. This description by Patrick Leigh Fermor of his stay at a Benedictine monastery matches pretty well what I've heard from others, even if his initial response was more extreme: >To begin with, I slept badly at night and fell asleep during the day, felt restless alone in my cell and depressed by the lack of alcohol, the disappearance of which had caused a sudden halt in the customary monsoon. The most remarkable preliminary symptoms were the variations of my need of sleep. After initial spells of insomnia, nightmare and falling asleep by day, I found that my capacity for sleep was becoming more and more remarkable: till the hours I slept in or on my bed vastly outnumbered the hours I spent awake; and my sleep was so profound that I might have been under the influence of some hypnotic drug. For two days, meals and the offices in the church - Mass, Vespers, and Compline - were almost my only lucid moments. >Then began an extraordinary transformation: this extreme lassitude dwindled to nothing; night shrank to five hours of light, dreamless and perfect sleep, followed by awakenings full of energy and limpid freshness. This explanation is simple enough: the desire for talk, movement and nervous expression that I had transported from Paris found, in this silent place, no response or foil, evoked no single echo; after miserably gesticulating for a while in a vacuum, it languished and finally died for lack of any stimulus or nourishment. Then the tremendous accumulation of tiredness, which must be the common property of all our contemporaries, broke loose and swamped everything. No demands, once I had emerged from that flood of sleep, were made upon my nervous energy: there were no automatic drains, such as conversation at meals, small talk, catching trains, or the hundred anxious trivialities that poison everyday life. Even the major causes of guilt and anxiety had slid away into some distant limbo and not only failed to emerge in the small hours as tormentors but appeared to have lost their dragonish validity. This new dispensation left nineteen hours a day of absolute and god-like freedom. Work became easier every moment; and, when I was not working, I was either exploring the Abbey and the neighbouring countryside, or reading. The Abbey became the reverse of a tomb - not, indeed, a Thelema or Nepenthe, but a silent university, a country house, a caslte hanging in mid-air beyond the reach of ordinary troubles and vexations. >... >If my first days in the Abbey had been a period of depression, the unwinding process, after I had left, was ten times worse. The Abbey was at first a graveyard; the outer world seemed afterwards, by contrast, an inferno of noise and vulgarity entirely populated by bounders and sluts and crooks. This state of mind, I saw, was, perhaps, as false as my first reactions to monastic life; but the admission did nothing to decreaese its unpleasantness. From the train which took me back to Paris, even the advertisements for Byrrh and Cizano seen from the window, usually such jubilant emblems of freedom and escape, had acquired the impact of personal insults. The process of adaptation - in reverse - had painfully to begin again.

I, for one, continue to be annoyed that the anon who used to collect kemono art and dump it in the /animu/ threads has spent the last year or more obsessing with AI slop models. I remember he had a huge collection of doujinshis and often ordered stuff from kemoket/comiket each year. Keeping up with his uploads was like a holiday. longsworduser on sadpanda, for anyone who wasn't around at the time Obviously Twitter became way more hostile to any alternative frontend efforts and disabled any loopholes that resulted in RSS feeds being manageable, but I feel like there's been a void of kemono art in my life that just hasn't been the same. Maybe I simply need to stop being a lazy faggot and set up Hydrus.

>>2502 That's up to him. At least it's pushed me to look around pixiv a little more for kemono art. Speaking of unfortunate changes, apparently shikki_2p has been a 3DPD vtuber for nearly a year now.

>>2457 >Sure, I'll give it a try. Great! ...Uh, did you forget?

>>2485 >If you take any suggestions If you were requesting something why didn't you just say so?

>>2488 >pics #3 through #5

>>2489 It's not my fault anime nuns are too sexy. Even a burka wouldn't be able to hide those curves.

>>2488 Because I thought the reply >Sure, I'll give it a try. Confirmed that they were going to try it, so I didn't have to explain further. But yes, it was a request.

>>2493 >I'll never understand how there's so many of these when anything under Islam outside of the mega rich is just so fucking worthless. I guess them existing at the expense of others is the whole point of why they continue to exist to this day. The suggestions anti-christfag /pol/acks often give to improve Christianity often basically turn it into either Judaism or Islam for white people. That's more or less what Islam is for most kebabs: they treat it as a shitty "based" ethno-religion that lets them LARP badly as gigachads, screw over and subjugate the outsider through codified methods, beat and rape 3DPD, and pretend they're fighting the passions without putting in the work. Their religion also has a lot of measures which make them exert a lot of pressure on the surrounding world even as a minority, and when they are the majority, they exert a lot of pressure on minorities to gradually become Muslim and make it so dangerous to leave their religion that they encourage ex-Muslims' own friends and family members to kill them. Their civilization wasn't completely without merit in the past, and they did produce some noteworthy philosophers for a time (who often weren't really all that Muslim), but those times have long faded. Nowadays they mostly just prey off a weakening west and hope they can fuck us over before we get our shit together again.

>>2495 >Their civilization wasn't completely without merit in the past, and they did produce some noteworthy philosophers for a time (who often weren't really all that Muslim), but those times have long faded. Nowadays they mostly just prey off a weakening west and hope they can fuck us over before we get our shit together again. This may blow your mind, but Islam isn't even a real religion. It's just an Ottoman appropriation of Judaism that didn't actually become "codified" until the 13th century. Muhammad was a Jewish rebel leader, the Qur'an is an abridged version of the Talmud interspersed with Christian hymns, and Mecca never existed prior to the 8th century: https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=wy_iD6Lf6MY But all the being said, the people who champion Islam don't care. Like you said, they want to "LARP badly as gigachads, screw over and subjugate the outsider through codified methods, beat and rape 3DPD, and pretend they're fighting the passions". So all the claims about Islam's immorality just washes off of them because, according to these people, the Muhammad of Islam IS the "ideal figure" that they want to become. I mean just compare him to a figure like Christ: >Muhammad <Ruled the world from the Iberian Peninsula to India <Had multiple wives <Died like a king <Has created one of the fast growing and one of the largest religions in the world >Christ <Ruled over nothing, effectively a beggar <Never married <Betrayed by his own people, tortured, and died among thieves and criminals <Only exists as a relic for one of the fastest dying and decaying religions in the world Who would you pick as the person you want to idolize, the carpenter or the warlord?

>>2496 >This may blow your mind It doesn't. Writers have called it a Christian heresy from the beginning, and despite not having done nearly as much research into it as I'd like, I still routinely hear it referred to as a cobbled-together mishmash of whatever heresies and hearsay Muhammad heard during his life.

>femcel named Lily >"reminds me of a pet name" I had a pet cat named Lily from about 2017-2022. She was an old, kind of sickly grouse who wasn't above biting me for no reason, regularly pushed food and water out of her bowls for no reason, and often got her own poo stuck in her fur because it was too long. Despite it all, I loved her and I was very sad when she died. It was long and drawn out over a couple of weeks, and I thought she was getting better about halfway through it.

>>2496 damn, i didnt know all that. goat fuckers on suicide watch. speaking of goats... >>2499 cats can be kinda bitchy compared to dogs, partially why i made femcel a cat. that said, sorry about your cat. i remember hoping one of my cats was getting better, but he just kept getting sicker and sicker till we had to put him down. we lost a few other cats, and it got to the point where i was upset when my parent brought home a dog as a surprise, because i just thought she was gonna die or we would give her away like another dog we had. thankfully we still have her, and i love that dog

>>2416 >though I am curious what your opinion on human feet on Kemonos It makes sense if you're drawing them in shoes, but often looks a bit weird when the shoes are removed.

mahdz

>>2434 She looks great.

>>2434 Really appreciate the fact you've added them. Now I can experience how she really feels.

I did not expect to find this while looking through doujin shmups, but apparently there's a doujin game exhibition called GamePavilion JP with a kemono mascot. She's pretty fucking cute, and I'm kind of surprised I haven't heard about her already.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/62262133/chapters/166352869 Made this originally for 4chan Back to the void I go

Nice to see some other /hmofa/ anons survived.

i spent way too much time on this

>>2353 Can you make a version without most of the dialogue from around 0:21 until George Droyd's death at the end? The other sound effects and screaming are fine, and I like the George Floyd dialogue and "fentanyl reserves" depleted line, but it feels a bit overstuffed right now. My gut tells me the footage and sound effects would be plenty funny on their own and just need a bit of breathing room.

>>2353 That was fun

>>2353 lol cool

>>1158 good stuff. i like the use of colorful decals on the art surrounding the cuties

>Tfw no alien bunny gf Lop is cute but I have never really been into Star wars since I watched the clone wars series. Even though Star Wars Visions is basically the japanese studio given free reign to do as they please with it. Still deciding whether or not I wanna watch it since it's all just shorts being seperated from star wars lore. Looking at the shift away from the japanese theme in season 2 isn't really giving me confidence to even watch it at all.

>TysonTan drew his goat girl again I question whether she'd be all that warm with the exposed legs and boob window, but mountain goats are hardy animals so she probably knows what she's doing.

>>2069 I have often thought and said that Beastars would have been a great manga if it'd ended around chapter 100 when the murderer was revealed and defeated, or if there'd been some timeskip that showed how Legosi and Haru had to fit into wider society after becoming famous. I'd have preferred to see more of Legosi awkwardly trying to impress Haru's parents, or trying to figure out how to live like a functioning adult in his apartment building with Sebun and the rest.

>>558 There's a hentai doujin of it, lmao https://exhentai.org/g/3294574/9439c9a94b/

Can't get over how much I missed since this manga was last updated. I really need to find out whose translating these to keep up with them. Anyways it's a full on backstory of the fox wife this time, and why she's the way she is.

>>2382 a cutie

Dunno if the server is gonna be still going but I want to shout out for the kemono models that were made especially the newer ones. I know it's not femcel anons fault with the workshop bug but I did get to hop on and get a couple of things done so at least I got to play on the server for a bit, I genuinely hope when multiplayer gets released for the zomboid server they find away to fix this shit.

>I want to shout out for the kemono models that were made especially the newer ones. thanks, i was very disappointed in the lack of kemono mods, especially given the high volume of furry mods >>1989 should still be running, i bought a month of service. ill probably play a little on the server this weekend too. theres a mod that shuts down the server if a mod is out of date, but i need to find out how to have the server restart afterwards. otherwise the server just dies when a mod updates

hey guys, femcel anon here. im planning resetting the zomboid server, and advertising it the anfoo as well. its hard for me to tell if anyone has played it recently. i guess my question is: would i be stepping on anyones toes if i reset the world? if so, i can just copy the world and save it so nothing has changed when i restart the server

>>2377 server is up, same ip: 83.223.203.234:29300

https://kemonomario.booth.pm/items/6911098 I found this free game/demo from Kemari/Kemono Mario earlier this year. I think he did art and some other people did coding (there's a credits screen in the main menu but I can't read it). It looked like fun and the bat girl character was very cute, so I was excited to try it out. Sadly, it's unityslop with garbage controls. Also it's a roguelike so there's no kind of level design. It's a 2D platformer which you are forced to control with the analogue stick (the game recommends a gamepad rather than keyboard), and you attack with the right analogue stick, and the analogue stick lets you attack in any direction rather than just the cardinal and diagonal 8. Physics are WAY too fast and slippery, and because you jump by moving the stick up, it's literally impossible to jump without sliding left and right. Each level is about 20-40 seconds long: you run in a straight line and attack very bland enemies until you fill up a quota, at which point the level abruptly ends. Every level gives you an upgrade (double jump, max health, additional projectile from the umbrella; boring stuff), and every 5 stages you fight a boss or do some big challenge. The game also looks terrible due to the standard Unity jank combined with Japanese PC gaming.
