I've been thinking about how internet has messed around with the idea of 'indie', as in counter cultural media or ideas.
Getting the money to make a decent video/song and upload it to a top 5 streaming service takes a bit of money, time, and effort. To get big on these sites also requires making videos with little prerequisite knowledge needed, so most big videos are stuck on 'Intro into…' thought levels, easy to consume, and easily appealing. By popular I don't mean 10+ million views, but simply breaking 100k. All these prerequisites are just lighter versions of what mainstream culture has to do to get popular
This leads to an interesting paradox were for something 'indie' to gain popularity online it's already jumped through so many loops it's no longer truly 'indie' in a counter cultural sense. Often something 'indie' online is the mainstream culture with a new coat of paint.
I guess it's always been like this, but the interesting part is that due to the internet the "mainstream indie" phenomena exploded. Not sure how to explain this, but the internet allowed big subgroups and ideas to spread without using mainstream media. Before for an idea to spread a big 5 station had to cover it letting everyone know about it, but now groups can grow without letting everyone know. You can have a big 10 million group all around online, but somehow still not be seen as mainstream or know by everyone. This internet subgroup of being big yet not big works with 'indie' music to create a 'limbo indie'.
Limbo indie subcultures are prone to more mainstream type people, dare I say normie. They don't care as much about the subculture beyond basic aesthetics or having something easy to use to set them apart from the masses. A massive assumption, but I could say the limbo indie has caused the rise in 'aesthetic cultures', cultures that use symbols instead of effort to achieve a personal aura. they also actively fight against taking a subculture seriously, it's ideas or putting effort into it, because to them it's just a fashion statement not a route for serous change.
All limbo indie really is is mainstream culture rapped in a light coating. it's somehow popular yet unknown. It feels like this limbo indie will take over most real indie movements and create a world were all opposition is controlled. I'm not above limbo indie though and I'm pretty sure I've contributed to it's at some point. I'm not even bitter at it at this point, but more curious to see how it pans out

Hello fellow sushiroll :)
Lately things have been looking up. Got accepted for an honours degree in my dream field: evolutionary biology. Only have one assignment before I complete my bachelors to be submitted next week.
I'm also getting all the parts to build a new PC. My 3070 and R5 5600x arrived a little while back and the rest of the parts are coming next week.
Stay safe out there :P

That's one of the hard sciences, good job.
>>9531Counterculture has always been either niche or ironic, though. The word itself is an oxymoron; you can't have a coherent counterculture without making it its own culture.
No.9544
>>9531I'm gonna be honest, I never really associated the word "indie" with counterculture (although come to think of it, phrases like "indie chicks" certainly make more sense from that perspective). Like, to me an "indie band" doesn't necessarily mean a countercultural band, it just means a band who doesn't go through the mainstream music industry to get their music out there. I do see the connection, though - after all, it wouldn't make sense for a countercultural band to go through the mainstream industry, so they're necessarily indie. On the other hand, someone who makes the same type of music as Taylor Swift but self-records and self-publishes it would be considered indie but not countercultural. Maybe the internet did separate "indie" from "counterculture," since it used to be that most indie methods of publishing art were groups with a counterculture philosophy and were actively working against the mainstream, but now because of the internet it's just plain ol' easier to post something on bandcamp or your own website or whatever than it is to try to work with a major publisher - there's not really a philosophy behind it anymore.
I feel like I kinda ended up rambling a bit here.

I can say with absolute certainty that this is not caused by the internet, it's just always been that way. In fact, the first thing that came to mind for me when reading that was the "mall goths" of the 90s, and that predates the internet. I think that's just the life cycle of countercultures - they start, they grow, they enter the mainstream, they become fashion, they die, they get replaced by other countercultural movements that haven't yet gotten to that phase. That's just how it is and how it's always been.

>>9531>You can have a big 10 million group all around online, but somehow still not be seen as mainstream or know by everyone.>Limbo indie subcultures are prone to more mainstream type people, dare I say normie.This is potentially true for music. But I still think there can be genuine "indie" cultures, in a loose sense of the term, which are nevertheless big on the internet.
Take the free software community. I have only ever had one IRL friend who ran Linux, knew who Richard Stallman was, etc. My other IRL friends barely understand what I'm talking about or why I would care about software freedom. Turn to the internet, however, and there are big communities where people who
don't run Linux or a BSD are a shamed minority. So I think the free software movement is in a "limbo indie" state, as you put it. But I don't see any evidence of the philosophy being watered down because of this.
Sure, there are ricers, who only care about configuring i3 so they can save up some good screenshots for /g/ desktop threads. But everyone who runs Linux still gets their freedom, and derives benefit from doing so. The movement isn't harmed by being big on the Internet. The reverse is true - more adherents means more developers, bug-reporters, volunteers, etc.

>>9544I mean at least part of the reason you go through non-mainstream industry is literally because you haven't made it big yet or because you're not professional.

Im still here sushis! Currently stressing about starting web development classes in about a week. My school kept stressing to focus on getting comfortable with JavaScript. Ive never really programmed before in my life so im nervous.
I just finished the schools precourse work and began doing some challenges I found online. I bought some books too (and one on shell scripting because I was feeling confident), so hopefully they prove to be useful. I barely got through highschool and that was more than half a decade ago. Community college was bad for me and so is s 9 to 5.

>>9560I recommend looking at Luke Smith's videos on youtube for shell (mainly bash) scripting. Less so as tutorials or for pure knowledge, but for inspiration for projects you can do. His linux videos are always about solving some problem, making a new tool, or something he came across and how to use it.
I struggled with my community college programming classes because they weren't very interesting and the projects didn't do much of anything but show that you can implement whatever was taught that week. But once I started making little utilities or scripts for myself things started to click. Having fun is important and making useful tools, however small, is a nice motivation versus just think "if I learn this I can get a better job in 2-5 years."

Sushi is actually kinda large and sprawling, many distinct boards, lots of depth, multiple staff (at least two admins[?], maybe mods[??], even janitors apparently[???]). Then when a board is opened up, there are these massive threads that last forever, going back many years.

I guess it is because more people actually read it because there are not many new posts around and therefore the chance of a reply is higher. Within large communities a single post gets lost soon and attracts few to no attention. My guess is therefore the posts there tend to be of low quality. Well at least I am happy about every new post and read every new post.

Maybe you're right sushi. It's just that my whole life I've been surrounded by normalfrens (all my former/current friends are sort of, if not all normalfrens, with a few exceptions) and I've never really related to them outside of our mutual interests, like vidya.

>When do you consider someone a friend?When they know me good enough on a personal level and vice versa. I can't explain it easily through text.

I need to cut down on my interests. I was supposed to finish a chinese book by today and I'm still 2 1/2 lessons behind. I haven't had the motivation for it this week and that makes me feel guilty.
I get sidetracked so very often. I can certainly see a pattern of self-sabotage here. But I can't seem to figure out the solution to it!
There is a sort of yin-yang opposition here where I want to focus on one thing and git gud at it but after a while at it I get tired and need something else. Problem is, if I have two topics in front of me it is very distracting because I feel pressured to read them both. I too feel that if I interrupt the flow of ideas in one thread I will forget a lot of details, and it happens often that in taking back a topic I do remember the outline but forget some details and especially the names of minor components, which make it hard to keep reading on.

No.9784
>>9775Well all that is only natural. As a passive receiver you fall under the illusion of understanding. To make it really stick you have to solve problems, in programming this means research. Forgot how to do a thing? As a programmer you'll face this often and you gotta look it up. Plan what you need to do, try things and look up needed info. And that's how you learn.
That's why math books are filled with excercises, they really are the core of the book, the text is there as a sort of background information to get you started.
>>9783Perhaps you should start with godot so you get used to the tool and learn how to do things (outside of just reading the docs, see above) in it before you start an ambitious project. It shouldn't be too hard.

I once used a mix of google translate, an online dictionary (tangorin), and my own basic understanding of japanese grammar to send some messages to someone. He revealed he had a good grasp of english so i stopped bothering with the japanese. When we met up later, he introduced me to his friend saying that I "

Today is my one day off this week, and I have a bunch of work stuff to do to hand a team off to someone else. I managed to get a bit done earlier, and will be getting more done later. A bunch of stuff at work has changed and I have been stressed out about it, but I have started doing something I never really did before: pray. For some reason that seems to get me focused and productive for a bit (which is good, because normally I am stressed, scattered, and always in a rush because I am behind in some fashion because I can’t focus). I am going to try to see if this helps in other bits of my life or not because fuck I need it.

>>9783RPG Maker absolutely if you want to make an RPG game.
Its its too ambitious, then lower the bar of what you want in your platformer and then work your way back up to where you want to be. Rome wasn't built in a day and no man is born a painter.

>>9842Well, not platformer, I was doing that so I could understand how godot works.
The RPG I'd rather save it for myself. The combat is what makes me think RPG Maker would be very limited with. I want to do something similar to Undertale.
What I should do now is a comfy simulator. It's just you in your room fooling around, you can interact with a guitar, use your computer, and go to bed! I lack the artistic skills so I decided to make the character a ball I've seen somewhere else.
Really wish I could get into drawing but I don't understand gesture, makes me feel I'm doing something wrong and that I need to do it with someone else, like a teacher No.9846
What engine you use for the NEET simulator?
RPG Maker's events and triggers and stuff are very easy to pick up and play with. I remember making a silly little town in RPG Maker XP(?) or something. There was a little sword fight I put in, jumping around, play SFX, flash the screen. Didn't need to look it up, it was quite intuitive.
I got a copy of Game Maker 2. When I first got it I was very eager to start, but there were very few tutorials and resources and stuff at the time since it was very new and that discouraged me a lot. There's probably many more now but now I lost all motivation. I'll boot it up again one day~

I'm making some chili. I've been pretty isolated because of Corona. I find it hard to make lasting relationships with people because I end up messing things up because I have a tendency to be combative over things.

>>9972Create something. Personally, I've found that opening up some game engine like Godot or Pico-8 and just trying to make some crappy little game tends to help me a lot when my mind is stuck in a loop of upsetting thoughts or memories. Alternatively, play a difficult video game that forces you to focus and distracts you from whatever you were thinking about.

you have to focus on harmonizing your thoughts and feelings with who you are now and who you were in the past, then you won't ever feel this turmoil again. you should be able to look into your memories, recognize that they were embarrassing for a time, and understand their place in your story.

I'm going to look at soups next, because they're super cheap and also a bit lighter in calories. Biggest change here is that I'm actually buying vegetables, which is something I've never really done.
Really, anything's better than what I've been doing. Snacking through the day and all my foods requiring at most 5 minutes of prep. Plus I'm pretty sure I ate Burger King like 10 times last month.
