>I feel like the "no blatant advertising rule" might potentially be strained by such a thread.
Yes, that's why I'm still not sure about the idea of a dedicated thread.
On one hand, this wood provide a kind of containment thread for this type of request (which wood not escape moderation, of course, according to the obvious rules of /comfy/ness). But on the other hand, I fear that this wood have a knock-on effect and that anything wood be posted there, even things that are not comfy at all.
That's why I can't really make up my mind. In general, I delete stupid, hastily posted ads, but I leave those that have made a minimum effort (such as saying “hello /comfy/”) for a little while.

And above all, don't apologize for expressing legitimate concerns about these kinds of issues. You are far from being rude, and as BO, I attach great importance to maintaining a certain standard on this board, so I listen to eberryone's suggestions and do my best to find compromises when I think it's necessary. So thanks for caring anon :)

Comfy seeding is comfy.
It makes me think as it's Christmas time, some privete trackers are open to freeleech.
Lets get garb some movies!

OP here.

So I had casually posted here without any expectation of a reply but damn ... there is some real good advice up there!

I posted this nearly 3 months ago and things still haven't changed much. 

re: "habby go lucky nihilist" -- it resonates with me, but I suppose if it's a question about engaging in that social dynamics and hierarchy, I can't let go of the idea of wanting more interaction,

Maybe this brooding isn't suited for comfy. 

How did you get "habby go lucky lonerpilled" then? (for those who moved on from the naive ideas about social interaction)

>>17041
>Maybe this brooding isn't suited for comfy. 
Definitely not. I'd suggest >>>/late/ as a better venue, Anon.

>>17041
> Maybe this brooding isn't suited for comfy. 
Having a legitimate question and seeking advice to make yourself more comfortable shouldn't be considered a hassle.
I woodn't internalize or view your goal as brooding, if this thread helped you in anyway I'd say that's comfy.
For what I can offer, relationships habben naturally around interests or by an extension of proximity.
Even over the net if you post regularly within a thread or series of threads others will respond to your efforts.
Showing up and being involved, honesty or being genuine.
Imageboards can be challenging in the sense a board or site has rules the guidelines can constrict personal interactions by the extension of it falling under blog posting, where they shine though is from a slower pace there is less pressure and interaction can therefore be it your own personal comfort level.
Even how some previous anons have said the shrimple act of seeding or making a single post a day that is positive can give that fulfillment, so I'd reflect on what level of social interaction you desire and that life changes fast so don't give up anon.

A nice raven visited the house today. I hope it builds a nest.

Ravens are blessed. They are literally the highest intelligence animals of all. They really love showing off for humans too. Try to tame it if you can.

May this one be the thread's opening:

  Where The Mind Is Without Fear, by Rabindranath Tagore 
  
  Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
  Where knowledge is free
  Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
  By narrow domestic walls
  Where words come out from the depth of truth
  Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
  Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
  Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
  Where the mind is led forward by thee
  Into ever-widening thought and action
  Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my anons awake.

Kobayashi Issa: A World of Dew

A world of dew,
And within eberry dewdrop
A world of struggle.

He who blames others has a long way to go on his journey.
He who blames himself is halfway there.
He who blames no one has arrived.

I suppose I find it comical for some silly reason, but I wood have thought it was obvious I'm something of a burger myself. These can be found in a lot of big grocery store chains like Walmart. I'd look at somewhere like that first. A Mexican or some sort of central American grocery store wood be likely to have them as wood a grocer catering to southeast Asians. You might find them being sold under a different name depending on where you are shopping.

>>16884
>>16887
You could also order some from Amazon or whatever, but they wood be much more expensive and fresh food is easily damaged when shipped.

I've been going through a '60s psychedelia/sunshine pop phase recently. Maybe it comes across as cloying or overly treacly to a lot of people (not to mention dated), but I find the orchestration, smooth timbres, and melodic focus more appealing to my sensibilities than most of the rock from that era. I've always liked dream pop and that sort of thing, but I feel like this stuff scratches some of the same itch.

I figured it wood be worth posting specifically what I’ve been listening to and my thoughts.

U.F.O. by Jim Sullivan:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DeAvcscc3Y
This is one I came across this last week before I went down the Curt Boettcher rabbit hole. I think it’s bretty good, but I'm not as big on the folk style as I am on the poppier approaches of these other albums I mention. It has some nice contributions from the Wrecking Crew though. Jim Sullivan’s story is sad but interesting. He ended up going missing in New Mexico in the ‘70s.

Sagittarius – Present Tense:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pZbBZrOHJk
This is the sunshine pop album I started off with in my recent phase (I'd already heard The Mamas & the Papas a while ago and had kind of mixed feelings about them). I imagine it wood just seem saccharine and extremely cheesy to most, but I love the lush sound it has. I think “Another Time,” “Glass,” and “Musty Dusty” are standout tracks. Conversely, “The Keeper of the Games” and especially “Wood You Like to Go” I find kind of annoying. I don’t consider anything else to be bad. Mercifully, the longest track isn’t even 3.5 minutes long. Present Tense is an album that respects your time, so it has that going for it. The whole thing is over in half an hour. I like it.

Sagittarius – The Blue Marble:
I can’t say I consider this up to snuff in comparison to Present Tense, although the inclusion of Moog sounds is interesting. I haven’t been listening to this as much as the other albums and don’t really have much to say. “I Sing My Song” and “Blue Marble” are the songs that I found the most memorable.

>>17021
>Thank you for subjecting yourself to my autism.
No, thank you for displaying your enthusiasm.  It's a nice thing to see.  I'll have to listen to these later even though I'm bretty sure I will dislike all of it.

>>17023
>even though I'm bretty sure I will dislike all of it.
It's so twee that I can imagine it being a bretty big turn-off to a lot of people. If you want it out, I'd definitely recommend beginning with Begin. It's frontloaded with mellower material but gets a little more rocky after "The Island." If you still feel like you're developing Type '67 diabeetus after hearing it, then that wood be a good place to stop.

Maybe U.F.O. wood still be worth listening to for you, since it's psychedelic folk and not sunshine pop, but that all depends on your tolerance for folk music. I'm not big on the "wannabe poet with an acoustic guitar" side of things, but I can appreciate the fleshed-out orchestration. I like it, although personally I wood recommend this album before U.F.O. for that sort of thing >>7840.

>>17030
NTA
U.F.O. is a berry nice folk album.

Thanks for the recommendation. I already made the leap though.

>What games do you enjoy? 
Old computer games, mainly strategy games. If I'm in the mood for an FPS game, I play Unreal Tournament or Doom. I don't use my computer to emulate console games since I've got a MiSTer for modern TVs and monitors. I also have some original consoles with flashcarts.
>And as long as you ask ahead of time and they agree to help I think it's a cool experience to work on a project with family, getting to practice and learn from someone who has knowledge is always beneficial.
I just don't want to hassle them unnecessarily. The last build was a real pain given its small size.
>Devuan is a great choice I recommend it whole hearty.
I tried installing it several times but gave up since the boot loader woodn't install. Maybe I could have gotten it to work if I left the boot loader from another OS on there, but I just opted to put Mint XFCE on there and call it a night. I spent like a couple h

I enjoy strategy games as well if you enjoy old school ones sid meiers alpha centauri or dark reign were both ones can recommend.
> I just don't want to hassle them unnecessarily
That's fair enough I didn't mean any pressure and apologize if I overstepped, I just think it's cool you did the original project with them.
And it woodn't install grub, only thing I can think of off the top of my head is when you finish an installation you remove the USB or disk then restart allowing the boot process to start off the internal drive instead of the external drive.
Graphical installations typically prompt for this however there are other potential factors.
Disabling the safe boot on the bios could also be an issue.
Sorry it gave you trouble though.

I played some Dark Reign years ago, and I remember it being good. I'd go all the way and buy it off GOG if that version didn't have issues from what I recall. This might be an unpopular opinion, but as a big Command & Conquer fan I think it holds up better in terms of sheer gameplay than the first few Command & Conquer games do. I think those games are still appealing for other reasons though.

Alpha Centauri is one I bought, but I've never sat down and played it. I'm kind of concerned about how much of a time investment it wood be comfy on what I experienced playing Civilization games in the past. It still looks really interesting.
>And it woodn't install grub, only thing I can think of off the top of my head is when you finish an installation you remove the USB or disk then restart allowing the boot process to start off the internal drive instead of the external drive.
I removed the drive and rebooted when it told me to. I really don't know what the problem is.
>Disabling the safe boot on the bios could also be an issue.
I made sure it was turned off.
>Sorry it gave you trouble though.
It's something I'll have to try again

I have fond memories of command and conquer as well.
For me a certain amount is nostalgic romance but they all have a charm to them.
And for the alpha centauri to play each faction if say 20 to 30 hours depending on difficulty you choose.
I like the pre 2000s scifi just the perspective that space opera yet gritty sociological dystopia and technology still was imaginative not suppressive.
Or that's my personal take on it.
And that is odd then when you feel up to it try doing a dual boot situation and see if that works. 
I'll look into it a bit and see what I can find only other things wood be a compatibility issue on the uefi bios itself partition creation and a corrupted install file and or USB drive when the file was written to the external drive. 
Oh that or is it a 32/64 bit I'm going assume the hardware is 64 bit compatible that wood also create issues.
I'm off to bed for the night, I'll think on this though and I hope you have a great night anon enjoy your new laptop.
