Hello people
>How did you find this site?
Through another forum discussion.
>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?
Most of the time I listen to music, I read books, or simply go clicking on random links on the internet. I may release music or books in the future, but that's for another time.
>If you had to summarise yourself in 1-2 short sentences, what would you say?
"Tired as hell" and "If guilt could kill I would have cancer", I have my reasons.
>What's your ultimate guilty pleasure, whether it's a book, TV show, game/series, or website? Don't hold back!
I like searching for bizarre stuff on the Internet Archive, I really would prefer not tell what exactly, but the many times I encountered the many discomforting works of Frank Moore are more than the expected. Also I upload stuff in there, mostly pirated music albums and educational books, nothing crazy.

I saw an ad for it on /tg/ and clicked out of curiosity.

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?
Not much outside of work and school, but I like tabletop games.

If you had to summarise yourself in 1-2 short sentences, what would you say? I’m nobody special, just another person on the internet. I don’t know why people put so much stock in internet people.

How did you find this site?
I found it on the webring of Agora Road. It's an alright place I guess, but everyone there goes on about this vaporwave thing that I don't even understand what it is. This forum, on the other hand, looks like a lot cozier place, so I think I'll stay here!
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?
Studying for uni (or at least that's what I should be doing!), video games, reading good books and obsessively listening to prog rock. Not much else.
If you had to summarise yourself in 1-2 short sentences, what would you say?
I'm just another ordinary human trying to do my best before our Lord.
What's your ultimate guilty pleasure, whether it's a book, TV show, game/series, or website? Don't hold back!
Video games. Boring answer, perhaps, but I should really cut down a little on the time I spend playing them. Also, building scale models is nice, but I've no guilt in doing that so it can't be a guilty pleasure, can it?

Anyways, nice to meet you all!

aw jeez

How did you find this site?
4chan ad. usually i dont trust anything thats advertised on an imageboard but this site seems fine and i havent rly been active in fourms in a while, think the last time i really got into a fourm was like, KTT2 in 2019ish?
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?
Music related stuff mostly, a lot of soundcloud-esque stuff but I've been working on some OST stuff for an unannounced project I'm a part off which is really nice. I just hope I can make a living off of music in some form hopefully. If not then I got my insurance diploma and i'm working on my general business diploma after taking a break due to financial/mental issues; hopefully I can find one of those remote jobs where you do fuck all for $1902930920392039 a week lol.

idk, i generally don't like the term "guilty plesure" since i feel like being guilty about what you find joy in is a bit silly. however, my mom used to watch a lot of CMT when i was growing up (twas a country boy) so because of that i've managed to develop a taste in 2000s era female fronted pop country. i know atleast like three carrie underwood songs like heart. it really is fucking over for me.....

I saw an advert for Sheepish on the popular hit anime site 4chan...

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?

Mostly studying at the moment. I'm hoping to get a new job in a slightly different field this year, but I need earn a specific qualification for it - so yeah, that's my number one thing at the moment.

I'm also generally trying to sort some other life stuff out like fitness and money, so I'm doing lots of boring shit like excercising and physio and admin often too. Actually it's a bit of a drag and hard to motivate myself so I'm kinda posting on Sheepish to find other people that are focusing on similar stuff. It'd be cool to talk about stuff like that to help keep on track.

When I have free time I really love listening to and discovering new music, reading books, playing vidya, hanging out, whatever - I'm also learning piano, but that's very recent and my discipline + progress is pretty trash haha

For goals: yeah new job, sit a baby piano exam, finish some 4ch /lit/ + mu charts, get fitter, lose some weight, stuff like that!

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

goofy, friendly, lazy, chronically online, chill + a bit sad

hmmmm. probably staying up till 4am sometimes occasionally and playing vidya

Sit on my ass, play mahjong and minecraft, listen to music (prog metal primarily). Occasionally photography and camping.

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 a lot of time reading manga/VNs/LNs, sometimes philosophical stuff. I also do yoga, recently started karate; since I'm a fan of mind-body disciplines. Games are fun too.

31 year old boomer who refuses to abandon manga/anime.

I fantasize too much about (non-loli) Touhou characters.

Nothing that special, video games and anime is the main thing I spend my time with, plus gothic lolita and jirai kei, reading mostly about history, philosophy and anime studies. Also have to retire myself to bed every 1-2 hours which does have its drawbacks.
If you had to summarise yourself in 1-2 short sentences, what would you say?
I would probably say nothing. But if I have to, I would describe myself as idiosyncratic and iconoclastic, or perhaps just idiotic.

I don't really think I have guilty pleasures overall, but I've been playing Street Fighter 2 for basically my whole life, and I still don't have a gamepad, and certain people would wish to see me executed for that.

I like forums in theory but find them disappointing in most cases.

I found this site through your 4chan ads.

I spend my time reading and writing and looking at old media. I want to eventually have enough writing and material out there to constitute a serious school of thought and change how people look at things.

In a short sentence I am a neet but better than most people.

And my pleasures aren't guilty because I'm not a slave.

SheepishPatio How did you find this site?

I saw someone link to it on Lainchan when they were discussing the old web.

SheepishPatio 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?

Mostly coding, exploring the web, I like to hang out in nature but I am not able to do that often 🙁. I don't really have any particular goals in regards to coding

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

I am a being of unknown origin.

I found this site through a 4chan ad. I have been tired of that site for many years and even more tired of bouncing between Discord servers. I have been looking for a small site with less politics and less posting really.
I have a lot of hobbies but I've been neglecting them recently. Very busy at my entry level job and I can't handle much so I've been coming home and scrolling through stuff and listening to current events streams or video essays. I like games, reading, video and image editing, tea, and wine. The only creative aspiration I have is to write a few books that get really big 20 years after I die.
I'm a pretty uncomfortable guy. I want to do good things despite my skittish nature.
My ultimate guilty pleasure is drinking until 3 A.M. when my bedtime is 9.

I hope this site does well and everyone can get along, it seems like a great place to be!

Hello, I'm new here!

How did you find this site?
I don't really remember... but it wasn't 4chan. heyuri.net maybe?

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?
Programming! I'm still very much in the phase where I don't consider myself good enough so I'm just pushing myself to work on difficult things. I've also become really interested in library/API design lately so I've been making lots of libraries lately. I mostly do C++ and Rust for my personal projects.

If you had to summarise yourself in 1-2 short sentences, what would you say?
I really don't know how to answer questions like this so I've been holding back on creating an account here simply because of that...
I'd say I'm someone who tries to act nice and not drop my act as much as I can. I'm also not very confident in my abilities so I just push myself to try as hard as I can at whatever I do, mostly programming.

What's your ultimate guilty pleasure, whether it's a book, TV show, game/series, or website? Don't hold back!
Pretty much everything to do with otaku culture. I'm very much so into it, but I feel like I'd be able to dedicate to programming a lot more if I dropped it. I even tried to at one point, but life pretty much lost all its charm after a while lol. So I realized I needed a hobby like that in my life but I still worry I spend too much time watching anime/reading VNs/whatever...

bakkin113 welcome, dont want to clog the channel so i'll keep it short. im also not very good at programming. what kind of library? a media library i'm assuming

Drawing, although it's mostly a hobby now. I'd like to get really good at inking. Right now I'm studying to get an entry-level IT job, however - so I'm not drawing as much as I'd like.

If you had to summarise yourself in 1-2 short sentences, what would you say?
Really I just want to help people, be an open ear. It's part of the reason I joined this website, feels like a good place to get to know people without it feeling fake like on most social media.

What's your ultimate guilty pleasure, whether it's a book, TV show, game/series, or website? Don't hold back!
I used to be into speedcore and extratone when I was in high school! But then I finally got some good taste in music.

How did you find this site?
I found this site through the 4chan ad a while back. As someone who misses the old landscape of the Internet, this forum immediately piqued my interest, but I'm only just now joining (lol).

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 am a coder who is working towards creating my own indie games. If I work hard enough, I should have something to show for it in the near future. My dream is to make a living by developing my own video games, but as long as I enjoy playing my own creations, I'll consider them successful.

If you had to summarise yourself in 1-2 short sentences, what would you say?
I am a coder and digital archivist aspiring to make video games. The style of my creations is pretty odd, but sincere.

What's your ultimate guilty pleasure, whether it's a book, TV show, game/series, or website? Don't hold back!
I love SEGA, but especially their content from the 1990s to 2000s. The Sonic the Hedgehog series is one that is just as enjoyable for me now as it was when I first rented Sonic's Mega Collection as a kid. I also enjoy the Mega Man series among many others. Although admittedly, I don't really consider any of my hobbies as "guilty pleasures" simply because I am completely shameless when it comes to them.

Thank you for setting up this forum, and I am looking forward to getting along with you all.

Good evening all, I found this place through the forum Basement Community and thought it looked really cool so I thought I'd join, love how this place is layed out. I'm the admin of my own forum too and I hope I can have a good time here too.

How did you find this site?
I saw it on an ad a while ago, then figured I might as well give it a go because I think that Reddit and Discord servers being the primary "forums" these days is kind of bad.

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 playing games or hanging out with friends tbh. On a note related more to my friends than games, being a furry I have several artist friends, and I want to pick up and learn art! Kind of (very) hard with my ADHD, but I'm slowly but surely managing, and am seeking to get medicated just so I can do this easier/consistently.

If you had to summarise yourself in 1-2 short sentences, what would you say?
I'm a dumb gay bird furry with ADHD and a wee bit of anxiety. I love my friends and enjoy cooking.

What's your ultimate guilty pleasure, whether it's a book, TV show, game/series, or website? Don't hold back!
Probably.. food. I love cooking, but I also grew up in a household that had a very bad relationship with food. I try to cook good, healthy food these days (without compromising on flavour of course), but I know exactly how to make something stupidly unhealthy and decadent if I wanted to, so I usually only do that for special occasions.

Reserved otaku, unemotional, prefer solitude and focusing on studies. I am English learner and my English is needing work.

How did you find this site?
A 4chan ad as some others here have stated. I've been looking for a new site to browse for a while now.
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?
Aside from chatting with friends online or lurking boards, I like to think I spend my productive time either reading or studying Mandarin. With regards to reading it's usually academic history books. With studying Mandarin I certainly have to goal of attaining fluency, I have no connections to China family wise but it does tie into a lot of my hobbies and interests like Weiqi/Go, calligraphy, tea, and history. Aside from that I play riichi mahjong, watch anime or foreign films, read manga the usual stuff.

I'm a high openness weird gay NEET who is sadly not even able to be hedonistic because of crippling health issues.
What's your ultimate guilty pleasure, whether it's a book, TV show, game/series, or website? Don't hold back!
I spend way too much money on books and so frequently I don't think I'll ever finish them all yet I continue to do it. Sometimes I take more pleasure in finding good rare books to buy than perhaps the books themselves (some are rare for a reason lol).

SheepishPatio

through 4-chan, there was an ad at the bottom of /g/

i spend most of my time playing games and conversing on adjacent forums like.. 4chan! Warframe, Mount and Blade, lots of emulated ps2 stuff, HALO! a goal i have is to finish some of the playthroughs i'm doing right now (silent hill 2, legendary h2 playthrough, legendary h:ce playthrough) also going to Tenno-Con this year (annual warframe convention)

i'm a hiko who enjoys games and probably needs to socialize more. not really much to say

hrm. my greatest guilty pleasure. i don't feel guilty about most of my pleasures so... i guess i'd say listening to geometry dash music lol. its kind of cringe-- but its so catchy!
