Topicless thread

[VonDaab]

To sum it up...

It's awful.

[NejinOniwa]

Thank you for that, Admiral Obvious.

*rolls out red carpet*

Now, whoever comes up with a good un-topicly topic for this thread gets a hug.
...from Bella.
I decided that.

Well, Nejin, with all the time you've spent in the Member Introduction thread, you must've noticed the influx of new blood this forum's been getting.  I don't know how many are here simply for our hot, fappy porn, but I've noticed a lot of activity in the MI thread (noted most of it by us old regulars, but there have been some unexpected returns and fresh meat).

Since I believe you were among the people concerned about the lack of membership, has this not improved your outlook?

[NejinOniwa]

*puts posh glasses on* Why, dear me! You're spot on, Argyle!

Frankly, I can't help but remaining pessimistic on that point. What the forum needs isn't just another influx of new members per se - we need the good kind, the ones that provide. And sadly I haven't been seeing too much of that tone recently - might be I looked over things, but I can't help but despair even further at the sight of barely-correct grammar in half of all newbie posts I read.

TL;DR, no, I'm still being pessimistic and doomsreader-y. And a handful of projects on my own end prevents me from doing anything artistic whatsoever - aside from what I'm already doing, that is. -.-

Now, when did this thread turn into my personal blog, I wonder...

the ones that provide

...what? you looking at me?



I mean, if I understood that right, you want more original content?

[IanDanKilmaster]

Well, I agree Nejin, but I generally refrain from making such criticisms because, well, let's just say, how many contributions have you noticed by yours truly?  Sure I could draw something, but I wouldn't like it.  Chances are I'd get all jazzed about and idea I had, put the pen to the paper, but once I noticed I couldn't get my philistine hands to scratch out the image in my head, I'd be so sick with it I couldn't even finish (or if I did finish, it'd be half-assed).  Of course, I make these kind of excuses all the time when it comes to explaining why I don't do art, but it's true, it's the kind of overachieving self-defeatism that gets in the way of most everything I try to do.  Often times I feel as though I'm a leech in this forum.

TL;DR, IDK == newbies

So I guess what this really boils down to is that OS-tan fandom is still simmering a bit (it's going strong but not as much as it used to be), but OS-tan artists are becoming more scarce.  More than likely, artists are probably bored with the OS-tan thing.  So I guess the OSC is experiencing a recession/depression as well?  Demand up, supply down, eh?

Unrelated question - dude, where's my space galleon?

...what? you looking at me?

While that is what he meant, I don't think he's referring to you (you're joking aren't you?).  More specifically we were discussing to new members.  Having seen what you can do VonDaab, you're among those few members here capable of contributing.  I mean, how many arts (yeah it sounds stupid, but I'm referring to anything drawing, painting, etc.) have we seen from new members?

[NejinOniwa]

Ho, ho, IDK, no need to worry for you. The "having-been-around-almost-as-long-as-mineself"-stamp does that work for you, so you don't need to worry about it much ^^
Also, while you might not have contributed artistically, you've contributed in other ways (mostly in the computer section). From my point of view, while it doesn't fill up our demand of drawings, it does fill up your "quota", or something like that. ^^
That is to say, might be wisely done of you to refrain from that, I dunno. I just rely on my title as biggest and baddest guy around as a right to do mostly whatever I want in that field, haha. ^^

The dream of every /b/-tard...more original content.

That applies here too ^^

Still, enough of this depressed shit. It's time for...
THE OSC WEATHER REPORT[/i]
sponsored by munchcakes ltd., maker of delicious cakes since 1982.

This demon has in the last week been seeing the downside of the thermometer, blended in with snow. Dipping in at -28 and windy, skiing got REALLY frosty there for a while, lulz. ^^
Back home it's just a mild -10, but! They say it's gonna pop up soon, oh, the HORROR!

So, /osc/, how's your Januweather been so far?

[IanDanKilmaster]

For the record - like it matters - I must state again my Irishness (non-regional) that makes me pale-skinned enough to appreciate the cold.  What I do not appreciate however, is raindrops and chunks of drywall hitting me as I sleep -__-.  After what has to have been two days straight of pouring rain, I think it's finally stopped for awhile.

[NejinOniwa]

Aw, poor sod. Rain in the winter is never win...

[IanDanKilmaster]

Yeah, but spring showers are worse (cliché, but true).  Getting pelted with cold droplets does indeed suck, but try it in warm weather clothing with even more rain.  I'm not really sure if you can relate on that last bit, however, given the region in which you live.

[NejinOniwa]

In winter it sucks moar, because then you want it to be snowy and nice. Snow and ice is dry weather, and stuff don't get soaked wet much; Also it gets lighter, and when it's pitch black outside 20 hours a day you need that. Imagine how sucky it feels to see an entire winter of win go without a single shred of snow...but LOTS OF RAIN.
You think, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SNOW. IF NOT ONLY...IF NOT ONLY FOR STUPID PEOPLE. GLOBAL WARMING. WHATEVER YOU WANT, I JUST WANT THIS RAIN TO BE SNOW! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
That's how you feel.
And that's bad.
REAL bad.



In other news, well, ok, not news since it's 12 years ago now, but take a look at this and have yourself a good WHAT?.

Well, it's not exactly thirty days of night here, but personally, I wish for snow every winter... and it never comes.  Of course, you could say my wish was just granted very late last year (it snowed in March, which, as far as I know, is unheard of in the southern US), but it's been awhile since I've seen a really, really good snow.

The Onion = lulz

It never snows where I live either, but I'm about an hour away from it if I feel like going to see it.

[VonDaab]

Its cold here too. -16C. But theyre saying it'll rise to +1 tomorrow and then back to -6C.
Its nice and cool in school, because somethings wrong with the heating there, so we got nice +16C there.


Onion: lolwut?


Yeah, I might've been productive when it comes to drawing. But I've noticed that it's been some time since I made something OSC related.
