This is the introduction thread for SheepishPatio. The goal of this thread is to be a bit more structured than the prior one. Now that the site has been liv...

Aye, finishing something is a milestone worth remembering. I've written a lot of rubbish, but very few of it is finished. Usually end up writing myself into a corner somehow. But this time, this time for sure. I'm committed to finishing this one. I've been working on it for about 9 months now.

I see, I probably won't get around to it in the near-future, but I'll keep DD in mind. At present I'm on a gacha game (yes, gacha bad) called Punishing: Gray Raven. Also recently picked up Remnant 2, just beat the last boss a couple days back. But I'm limiting my overall gaming time, just because it eats into my writing time. Ain't enough hours in the day for the stuff I want to do. Work is a pain.

According too my creative writing teacher the best solution to a dead end is to bullshit your way out of it (or "to deus ex machina your way out" as she put it lol) and hope the reader won't notice or at least not get too bothered by the asspull because it's better to have an okay finished story than an unfinished masterwork. But then again that is easier said than done if you happen to be a perfectionist that has trouble accepting your work won't be as good as you think it should lol. Either way I'll be rooting for you to keep the motivation going till the end. If you feel like showing us any of the ones you did finish you could always make a thread for for it. Maybe we'll have more people show up and share too which would be neat.

Funny, I had Remnant 2 show up in my steam queue, it caught my eye because it had a pretty cool aesthetic. Same for limiting my time spent on gaming, I'm trying to focus on finishing a couple of books in my queue.

I fall more into the perfectionist category, I'd rather not finish a work than half-ass it haha. Though I'm not obsessively perfectionist, thank goodness. Thanks a lot for the support mate! I'll likely bump the Project thread or make a writing-specific thread once I'm ready, that seems like the appropriate thing to do.

Remnant 2 is pretty fun, it's basically Dark Souls with guns. I cleared the base game with mouse and keyboard, so no worries on that front. If you enjoy exploring and getting frustrated by puzzles and hidden secrets alongside the action combat, then Remnant 2 is a good pick.

On the communities thread on SushiChan.

What do you spend most of your time doing, tell us about it! Do you have any specific goals or aspirations related to that activity?

If I'm not at work (part time at around 20-30 hours a week), I'm usually either wasting time on the internet doing... something. It's hard to explain since I genuinely have no idea how to explain all the time I spend on here, I'm sure some people here can understand that. I'm into the typical nerdy stuff like anime and reading, not so much gaming anymore. I'm also a beekeeper and I guess my goals/aspirations are directly linked to that. I hope to eventually build up my hive numbers to a level where I can make that my primary, if not sole source of income. I'll want to buy some land where I can build a shed house (in my mind it's basically just a shed with a granny flat kind of thing connected to it for me to live in), have the bulk of my hives and just live my days out there. Venturing out to sell honey and buy stuff I need before going back home to be on my own.

If you had to summarise yourself in 1-2 short sentences, what would you say?

I'm lazy and I don't really know how to talk about myself, so I'm just going to leave the post in it's entirety to answer that question.

What's your ultimate guilty pleasure, whether it's a book, TV show, game/series, or website? Don't hold back!

Food. A lifetime of unhealthy eating is slowly being fought back, I've effectively removed soft drink from my diet and all liquid calories comes from milk or protein powder.

I hope I get to know some of you better over time.

I was always fascinated by bee keeping. Do you plant the flowers for them yourself or let em go into the wild for the polen? I got into mead making a couple years ago and I really liked how honey from different flowers tasted wildly different as well and produced very distinct blends when fermented.

We just put hives on people's properties and let the hives go for it. The majority of our hives are out in the bush, so there's plenty of local trees, grasses and flowers for the bees. If I eventually get land then I'll be mostly just leaving it as natural as possible, outside of the small bit for my house yard.

I love learning. My career is on science so I spend most of my free time learning about history, humanities, politics, and sociology. I also draw and watch vtubers, and enjoy playing old games (right now finishing Baldur's Gate 1 for the first time).

A curious mind that loves taking care of others. I love physical exercise and cute stuff.

Boomer shooters. The build engine has something special that makes it extra satisfying to kill enemies in there. I have played Doom (1982) more times than I can count and I always try to grab and play the latest release that follows in its footsteps.

I found it after the partnership with Wapchan.

In terms of what I do at this particular moment? Well, it's usually playing retro video games (currently going through Mischief Makers on the N64) or listening to music (at the moment, mostly metal). But generally, my interests include: retro video games, anime, music (both in composition and listening, I especially have a taste for heavy metal and progressive rock, but I enjoy video game music and other sorts of electronic music as well), linguistics and history (something I aspire to do as a career God willing).

If you had to summarise yourself in 1-2 short sentences, what would you say?

I'd say that I'm a generally chill individual. I'm an Arab, Muslim, and relatively religious. I don't know what else to put here.

Peppy melodic electronic music. All the way from Eurodance to happy hardcore music. God, that stuff gets me going and it is slightly embarrassing LOL.

P.S. reading the thread and seeing fellow retro gamers is making me quite excited LOL

Mischief makers

Boy that was one of my favorite games ever. There was so much variety in the stages from platforming to math quizzes. I can still hear the "shake-shake, shake-shake" line in my head just thinking about it.

I'm another Wapchan user, and I found that site through 4chan /a/ a little over a year prior.

Lately either playing vidya or watching anime. I do also like to draw when I'm in the right mood (both digital art and traditional paper/pencil).

Uhhh... an early 30s ojisan who spends too much time on imageboards!

Anime: I love "girls with guns" action series from the 80s/90s/2000s
Games: I've been playing Sven Co-op quite a bit lately, it's Half-Life 1 but co-op and with anime playermodels hitting you with a crowbar while yelling "TAKE COVER!"

i’ve been a freelance artist most of my life but it’s something I’m doing professionally now, in college and stuff.
past that, mostly Leijiverse and space operas, which is why i use wapchan from the getgo :-P
i really just don’t know enough people into older spaceshit anime specifically

probably saints row the third or noughties adult swim. both take up an absurd amount of my time.

Oh hey! I've seen Space Battleship Yamato and GE999 and loved both.

Tolo

Psittacus
that’s awesome, man :-D
if you liked those two there are a lot of linear themes among all of Leiji Matsumoto’s works so there’s a good chance you might enjoy some of his other stuff.. i personally would implore you to check out arcadia of my youth (especially if you liked GE999)

i am also open for recommendations if you’d care to share :-V

found this site on the banner ad on 4chan, i think i was on /v/

What do you spend most of your time doing, tell us about it! Do you have any specific goals or aspirations related to that activity?

i spend most of my time either on vidya, watching stuff (been trying to get out of the habit of mindlessly watching YouTube) and exercising, especially riding my bike. one of my goals is to get better again at drawing. I used to be pretty good but just stopped for a long time.

If you had to summarize yourself in 1-2 short sentences, what would you say?

i overthink everything, like in a videogame trying to explore every nook and cranny.

There was an advert for it on a small imageboard, seemed /comfy/ enough to visit, so here I am.

Most of the time I spend either studying, making music, or doing graphic design

Person slowly flowing through time with any lack of interest towards anything

What's your ultimate guilty pleasure, whether it's a book, TV show, game/series, or website? Don't hold back!

Probably imageboards.

Going on a Mongolian Basket Weaving Forum ~~4chan~~ without an adblock for the first time in a year

What do you spend most of your time doing?

Modding older games (Mostly Skyrim and Minecraft), tinkering with linux and more recently some amateur web development.

A friend of mine once called us "the last two gay cowboys in what was the wild west of the web". I'd say it's pretty apt.

What's your ultimate guilty pleasure, whether it's a book, TV show, game/series, or website? Don't hold back!

Elder Scrolls modding and lore as well as Mythology in general. And "old" internet communities

My adblocker stopped working and an ad for this site showed up on 4chan. The ad looked interesting, so I click.
What do you spend most of your time doing, tell us about it! Do you have any specific goals or aspirations related to that activity?
Playing games, and trying to get my life back on track. Also lots of daydreaming. Sometimes I draw. I want to do some big project with my drawing, like an animation, comic, or game.

Shifting around in a haze, been this way for years and years.

I browse the internet, read books, watch anime and movies, and listening to music. I can find a lot of things interesting and have read books on loads of subjects but I mainly enjoy programming and maths but I've lost a lot of motivation, in general, over the last year or two and end up wasting my days. I have a friend whom I talk with a lot and also recently have started talking more on imageboards, textboards, BBS's, and forums. I play games from time to time and logic puzzles like sudoku and kakuro are fun. I have no clue what I'm doing or where I'm going.
I've also kept up writing whatever schizophrenic mind vomit I have in notebooks.

If you had to summarise yourself in 1-2 short sentences, what would you say?
Very asocial, but if there is something that interests me and I'm in the mood I can talk. I hate answering questions like these because I find that I don't actually know.

What's your ultimate guilty pleasure, whether it's a book, TV show, game/series, or website? Don't hold back!
Spending a whole day doing essentially nothing while on the internet or watching anime.

I tend to ignore this kind of threads, but let me try...

4chan.

Modding/hacking video games. I guess. Spent last two months reading an studying things about Ancient Egypt though, so I really just do whatever I feel doing. I love art, in general.
If you had to summarise yourself in 1-2 short sentences, what would you say?
I was never able to do a short summary of anything. I prefer long and rather ample descriptions from all possible sides. Is it even possible to summarise something as complex as a human in two short sentences? Ah, I guess I better stop now...

Ultimate? I've completed 25 To Life. Twice.

Advert on 4chan more eye catching than any posts that day.

What do you spend most of your time doing

Writting assigments for my last year of education. I also spend a lot of time talking about personal stuff with users from other sites, giving them advice. My main hobby is creating and fixing mods for Crusader Kings 2, as I have not bought into the hype that surroundes the bloated mess that is Crusader Kings 3, which robbed a better game of its best mod makers.

If you had to summarise yourself in 1-2 short sentences, what would you say?

I love talking with people and sharing thoughts. I'm eager to learn but am bad with failure, so I have to start being less harsh with myself in order to truly help others and excel at what I love.

What's your ultimate guilty pleasure, whether it's a book, TV show, game/series, or website? Don't hold back!

I read smut, and discuss it at times. I have almost no filter with humor, and keeps it in a niche click in order to enjoy it. I've shared most of my personal interests on Mainchan, so if you are really curious just check my post history there in order to determin if you gel with it or not.
