>I'm working, but things aren't going too smoothly, and there's nothing in particular for everyone to see, so I'm sorry about that.

>>281252926 (OP)
Glad to see fish sensei is back!

Party time.

>>281252965
Working on something but encountering some difficulties, huh? Could he be trying to write something outside of his comfort zone or is this just a normal case of writer's block? I'm eager to find out what he's whipping up.

>>281255336
The ants appear

>>281252926 (OP)
Fish-sensei's back! I hope he's doing okay. Would be nice to see him stream again.
Also I ought to post more on the IRC.

I don't use Twitter, so I did not notice.

Tkmiz!!

What's good bros
I've only watced GLT
Wanna read the manga. Are both that and shimsim finisned? I'm assuming that tweet is the mangaka announcing a new project or something

>>281253835
what kinda sex is that

>>281252926 (OP)
Let's dig holes together

>tweets about seeing a mantis
>immediately draws a mantis

hello

>>281257740
I relate to him a lot. I would hack at dead trees for hours with an axe, not even for any particular purpose but just to feel it. Took up sprinting in the dead of winter just to feel the cold and the burn. Never been a fan of working out, but that push of the body and will to the limits is invigorating, it makes you alive. Manor labor is fun, also a great way to think. Fuck the commmon practice of companies buying the use of your mind for 8 hours. They get my hands and nothing else.

>>281257727
Yeah, they're both finished. I hope he does announce a new series soon. Would be cool.

>>281258270
>Took up sprinting in the dead of winter just to feel the cold and the burn
Very based. You should give working out a chance, it's a spiritual experience honestly.

>>281255309
It could be a mixture of both writer's block and trying to work on something considerably different.

So what happened near the end of SS? I thought Sis had mentioned that she could undo breaking reality, but neither she nor Shijima could live in West Yomogi anymore. I think it was a chapter or two before Shijima got on the train.

>>281255309
my initial thought was maybe he got a 9-5 job

>>281257740
Figures that someone who likes tkmiz would also like Biscuit Hammer. There's a lot of overlap on tkmiz threads. So far the one's I've noticed the most are Blame!, Made in Abyss, FLCL, Dorohedoro, Chainsaw Man, just about anything by Asano, Voynich Hotel and really anything by Sayman too, and Kekkai Sensen

>>281260319

The Punpun guy? I don't like him. tkmiz is depressed too but in a better way

Oooh, nice. Thanks.

who wins here?

a cool beauty

I felt Shimeji went off the rails to its detriment as it got closer to the end. Obviously it was intended by the author, but I’m not convinced it was actually for the best in some cases.

>>281272976
>Last update two years ago
Also time flies.

I hope Turtlemiz is okay.

I finished reading Shimeji yesterday. It didn't make me feel as sad as GLT but I still got sad anyway.

>>281263048
Who can even direct it? It needs to be a passion project of the highest order to even have a chance.

>>281275922
I don't think I'd say go off the rails. But I do think some things weren't as thought out near the end. Basically after sis disappears we don't really get anything of her, which I guess makes sense, but we also sort of lose the side characters. A similar complaint about dropping side characters or them moving into the background was levied at Houseki no Kuni when it was wrapping up.

Bur I didn't read GLT when it was ongoing and maybe as much as I like the ending right now I would have felt similar if I'd been following that series. GLT doesn't really have side characters to drop though so that helps it.

>>281278308
That's because it's full of HOPE.

A freaking sticky!

Guess what tkmiz's new series will be about.

party over

>>281283561
It's going to be a SoL manga about cooking.

>>281283561
four soldiers on an alien world of low intensity, but neverending, war discuss their lives back home while waiting around and doing daily tasks

>>281284174
I've been thinking for a while now about an idea for some kind of story where the background is a war, with the characters being in an artillery unit. Typically my idea has them be far away from the war, like even on another planet or in another galaxy from where it's happening. And they occasionally have to fire off some artillery for support but otherwise it's just a slice of life series. Your idea sounds kind of similar to that.

>>281283561
Hopefully something with a happy ending.

Tkmiz said once he has enough money to live the rest of his life without working another day, he could theoretically retire from even being a mangaka and still live comfortably
>>281263048
I doubt it would see an English adaptation, a lot of the humor in sim is Japanese puns or contextual to the culture

Being a slave to fear has caused me to run away and live in delusions for my entire life. All of my successes are hollow, I have only ever done what other people tell me to do, from my choices in education all the way to my career. I should have been more forceful and proactive, but I don't think I ever had it in me. Don't make my mistake. Do something. Say something.

Me too, and I miss the Gardener. Her planet must be super comfy.

>>281278308
But nobody know what happen at the end of GLT. We only know that they ended in the simulation somehow.

>>281295017
So happy to see Turtlemiz is doing well.

>>281295017
Thats scary offering your finger like that. Even if its a baby

It's been a while since catching up with shimeji-chan. Is the series still going or is it finished?

This used to be my wallpaper when I was drowning myself with wine pretty much everyday years ago.

>>281300361
Ended almost two years ago

>>281293303
Too late, I'm in the same boat now.
>>281296726
Shimeji Simulation is an isekai.
>>281298184
I don't understand the gardener. Is she a real person that ended up in the simulation or she part of the software that keeps the simulation going, like some sort of anti-virus or something?
>Her planet must be super comfy
Her planet is the one where she gives Shimeji-chan a stick that reflects the transformation. Seems dangerous with wild animals trying to transform her, but it makes sense. This must be how she saw the town before all the changes, everyone being wild and transforming stuff and all she has is her stick and her cute hat.
I also wonder how Ishii, if she is Ishii, got a sister in the simulation.
>>281298275
There's no good ending, anon.

>>281300522
How often do you drown yourself with wine now?

I've graduated to spirits, but I haven't had a drink in over a month.

It was the culture war /pol/fag shittery.

>>281306505
It’s bizarre to me that some people like his work yet simultaneously want to woodchipper him because he was a lolicon 10 years ago

>>281307133
Sorry, it was stronger than me.

>>281307516
>was
Can you really stop being a lolicon? Doesn't seem possible.

>>281307575
There’s evidence to suggest lolicons are a result of a mixture of childhood abuse, porn addiction and social isolation

Theoretically, getting away from porn and making friends should help

>>281307673

>>281307699
Considering his... well, his entire body of work, I highly doubt that tkmiz is not still a lolicon. The thing that changed was that he stopped posting about his proclivities, which is fair enough, because talking about your fetishes outside of an anonymous setting is kind of uncouth behavior.

I know there's still idiots here who think tkmiz is a girl, but that often got resolved by saying no or calling tkmiz a fish.
The resident /pol/tard will spam that image and spew a bunch of politics nobody cares about, that's why I see it as a bad omen.
As I said, I still have the image saved. I also believe tkmiz is a guy.

>>281307396
>It was the part about vomiting seeing women, wasn't it? I'm too lazy to brush my Japanese right now.
The translation is correct, it was just taken out of context, or maybe tkmiz deliberately tweeted it out of context as a joke.
What I do know is that there was a tweet explaining that he was sick (or was it the paint fumes?) and puked during an art class when they were working with a nude model, and his friends teased him about it as if he puked because of his excessive lolicon.

>>281321204
>I can't download past 800 pics aaaaaah

He's probably getting throttled by shitter.

Does Tkmiz really have a turtle he named Turtlemiz?

>>281324037
He is the turtle.

>>281323933
>Sumida's outfit is completely transparent
Scandalous

>>281324412
The outfits represent what's on their mind.
peas - children (with shimeji)
nude - sex (with mogawa)
rings - suicide
fish - death
Funny that the couples match opposites (creation + destruction).

>>281325031
>rings - suicide
>fish - death
What?

>>281325151
>rings - suicide
Did you read shimeji simulation?
>fish - death
Tkmiz made a tweet where he said cat=mental illness, dog=rest, fish=death but I can't find it now.

>>281325388
I did read it but rings can be many things. The only tries to hang herself because Sumida-chan was sad, and the ring world she created doesn't represent suicide. The donuts she sculpt aren't suicidal either.
>cat = mental illness
What does that mean for the potatoes in GLT? They find a cat but later let it go with its family. Did they go crazy then got cured by 100 year old chocolate?
Are there even any dogs on these manga?

>>281325515
>and the ring world she created doesn't represent suicide
Doesn't she immediately try to kill herself in the donut world?
>Are there even any dogs on these manga?
Idk, but there's a dog at the end of each volume of GLT safe for the last one.

>>281325999
>Doesn't she immediately try to kill herself in the donut world?
Well, there's only a few panels but she talks a bit with the girls before explaining about the physics of the donut world and all that and then she tries to commit sudoku. Even as she's going for it she comments that she's probably only doing it because of Sumida-chan's feelings, then it cuts to Sumida drawing Mogawa-sensei and the noose. Maybe Sumida's sad because she wants to be with Mogawa but can only draw her instead. They figured the hole they dig goes into their subconscious so maybe if mogawa-sensei dug holes instead of bake donuts she would find Sumida inside of her and they'd be happy, just like Shimeji-chan had to go underground to find the school room inside of her and Majime-chan inside the school, the same place they first met.
>dog at the end of each volume
Only in the credits.

>>281326249
I feel like the donuts had something to do with suicide, since a noose is also donut-like.

>>281327079
I remember art of a suicidal girl looking through a donut from tkmiz' twitter.

>>281310482

Alright you convinced me, i gotta reread this, the thing i ferment remember is that shimeji closed when the egg girl got too close and then a bunch of warped things and av reunion.

Hey man, you can't just blog all your thoughts on the internet and then get surprised when people read them.

I wonder, if tkmiz starts another manga, will the release threads be as good as the shimsim threads were, or has that ship sailed and will they turn into horrendous shitposting?

>>281341138
It should be similar. I don't think a new tkmiz manga would be any more popular than Shimeji Simulation to draw shitposting.

Is it even remotely possible that shimeji simulation gets an anime adaptation?

>>281341685
It's not impossible, but tkmiz himself has said that it is highly unlikely.

>>281263048
That's what he's working on, obviously. Just believe in him and trust the plan.

Do you think tkmiz lives comfortably off his mangas, or do you think he makes 8k a year and lives in a pod?

Unlike in Girls' Last Tour, we never see the moon in any night time sky scenes in Shimeji Simulation. The moon does appear several times, but only as abstractions or as a location and never a skybound celestial body. The moon never appears in the night sky. There are several scenes where it would have been appropriate, and yet it does not appear. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. AAAAAAAAAAA

A buddy convinced me to start working on a Shim Sim wad a while back. It didn't really go anywhere, which was mainly my fault I think. He made two tracks for it and I just made placeholder face sprites. I'd like to come back to it at some point, but I rarely even have the will to draw.

>>281368220
What kind of wad would it be? If you're making tracks you must be making maps as well.

>>281409720
The sort of atmosphere of the ending is somewhat happy but then you realize everyone is segregated into their own little world and cut off from everyone else. It's like a more severe version of End of Eva's ending. In EoE people's relationship to each other is returned to normal (though the world itself is fucked). In Shimeji Simulation everyone has basically had their AT fields ramped up to 11 to the point where they're not even living on the same planet.

Some planets are small groups, like with Mogawa and Sumida though. Or Shijima and Majime.

>>281411328
i swear i saw a drawing of that once

>>281411491
>In EoE people's relationship to each other is returned to normal (though the world itself is fucked).
Not at all. Nearly everyone chooses Human Instrumentality, and the few remaining individuals like Shinji and Asuka did so because they could accept merging with others whose judgement they could never accept, so they're left with the remaining rejects who all have severe mental issues. Hence why the first thing Shinji does is choke Asuka when she opens her mouth, even though he could also interpret her "kimochi warui" graciously as "I feel sick", which would be a perfectly reasonable reaction to being half-absorbed by humanity's collective consciousness and spat back out.
>Some planets are small groups, like with Mogawa and Sumida though. Or Shijima and Majime.
That's the fundamental difference that makes it a happier ending than EoE. Those planets only formed around them because they could accept each other for who they are.

>>281412051
nta but this is all ignoring the fundamental reality that they aren't even people, just AI actors representing people as part of a simulation in a computer floating through space. there is no reason to assume that any physical human brains are being transported along with the vessel, and so the only reasonable assumption is that everyone in the simulation is a digital entity (though some may be based on the personalities of humans who were at one point flesh and blood). there never was any hope of escaping the simulation, all they can do is writhe around within it, endlessly. that's fucked up

>>281412051
I don't think we're supposed to assume Shinji and Asuka are some of the few who chose to become human again. And rejecting all human interaction besides those you feel closest to doesn't really sit right with me to the point of calling it happy.

>>281411491
It's the only logical conclusion.
The reason why humans come together is because we're weak and need each other to survive.
Once you give people everything they need (food, shelter, etc) then others start looking like hindrances.
Think about it, would you put up with an annoying roommate if you had a house of your own?
After every need is fulfilled humans will grow further apart.

>>281413846
>I don't think we're supposed to assume Shinji and Asuka are some of the few who chose to become human again.
Shinji and Asuka are the only two we see re-emerge as individuals, against the backdrop of a much larger sea of instrumentality liquid. That's the only image we get out of the outcome. I assume that sense of scale and proportion was chosen on purpose.
>And rejecting all human interaction besides those you feel closest to doesn't really sit right with me to the point of calling it happy.
It's not a perfect happy ending, but the only alternatives we've been shown are rejecting interaction with everyone who embraces the majority (EoE; dystopian) or accepting human in general interaction no matter how much pain it entails (our current reality, which works for most people is but unbearable for some).
I'd love for a story that explores similar themes to shows us a happier ending than those, but I have a hard time imagining how a writer could make that work in a way that it would be both realistic enough and dramatically satisfying.

>>281413884
nah, human interaction is a vital part of staying grounded in reality, if you can't bounce thoughts & ideas off of others or share your experiences and compare perspectives then you then you end up consumed by your own subjectivity and will stagnate mentally

>>281414422
>grounded in reality
People would rather be free than be grounded. In order to live with other people you have to curb a lot of your freedom, which is hard to do since you need to let go of some of your likes.
The reason why some people can be together, like chito and yuuri, is because that curbing happened prior to the total freedom patch and their views got aligned.

>>281414718
>People would rather be free than be grounded
Shimeji Simulation seems to argue that absolute freedom isn't a good thing. The first time the simulation is reset there's still limitations while having more freedom, but the second time is when all limits are released and that's when things go off the rails and the world begins fragmenting.

Whether that's the theme of the ending though I don't know. The world Majime creates is as limited as the real world with her and Shijima being deities. It's certainly more ordered than many of the other world's we see.

>>281284174
so basically Red vs Blue?

>>281415026
misremembered the name. I meant Gone with the Blastwave

>>281414937
>Shimeji Simulation seems to argue that absolute freedom isn't a good thing.
Rather, it seems to argue that absolute freedom is an oxymoron. If people are free to shape their surroundings with no need to take others into account, they take their selfish impulses too far and try to shape others according to their own desires. That either pushes them away (if they have any self-preservation instinct like Shimeji) or assimilates them (if they like music a little too much). Either way, the end result of absolute individual freedom is collectivism for the masses and isolation for those who can't handle that, so no one is free to shape their own destiny in any meaningful sense.

>>281413884
>Once you give people everything they need (food, shelter, etc)
Exploring what happens if you do that is entire point of the manga, tkmiz even says so in the afterword. Even before any transformations the world is devoid of hardships, no one goes hungry or cold and the gardener says that no one can die either. And yet people do things with each other instead of isolate themselves.
>Think about it, would you put up with an annoying roommate if you had a house of your own?
Shimeji-chan lives with her sister. Majime-chan lives with her parents. The squid girl lives with her quid sister. The potatoes live together...
In school, the music girls form a band together even if they disagree on some things (the lyrics). Majime, in the first panel she appears, is trying to make friends and during that we see that the other kids have their own friend groups. In the entire manga, only a couple of side characters live alone, the great majority of them are quite social.

>>281415218
>And yet people do things with each other instead of isolate themselves.
This is why I think the ending is hopeful despite everything, but maybe you need to a be a disappointed idealist to see it that way.

>>281415241
lol holy shit

>>281415241
Yuuri is not even wrong.
I eat chocolate and I'm happy.
I eat sushi and I'm happy.
I miss a meal and I'm unhappy.
My life goal is to eat every citrus fruit in the world. There's too many to count, which is what makes it meaningful.

>>281415218
>And yet people do things with each other instead of isolate themselves.
That's because of the gardener and various other mechanisms in place.
Big sis ends up breaking these and people finally do what they want.

>>281415683
>That's because of the gardener and various other mechanisms in place.
What real influence did she have in the end?
>Big sis ends up breaking these and people finally do what they want.
Do things with the people they like?

>>281415683
And what they want often involves other people.
Magime and Shimeji spend more and more time together or trying to be together as the manga progresses. Same with the bandmates, Mogawa and Sumida, the potatoes...
Again, only a handful of side characters actually spend their time alone.

>>281415398
you might have just stumbled upon enlightenment.

>>281415725
>>281415749
Yes but spending time with other people will result in clashes and eventually with people going their own way.
People already have fights all the time, but they often come back together. If you can have or do anything you want you leave and never look back.
Also sometimes after breakups people will realize just how free they actually are, change drastically, and never think about that relationship again.

>>281415953
>Yes but spending time with other people will result in clashes
True.
>and eventually with people going their own way.
But after enough iterations, they'll end up with the people they can live with.

>>281415683
You yourself are choosing to be here talking to others instead of isolating. Nothing is forcing you except perhaps your own desire to express yourself to others and experience their expressions in return. Mutual communication of ideas is a concept as old as civilization, maybe older. Even if you wanted for nothing, you would still want someone to listen.

>>281416031
>Even if you wanted for nothing, you would still want someone to listen.
NTA, but I've had days when I wanted for nothing, and I didn't post about them on the internet for validation because that held no value for me.
That anon probably hasn't been there yet, but that doesn't disprove the fact that it's possible to be alone without being lonely.

>>281416013
>But after enough iterations, they'll end up with the people they can live with.
I don't think it would be impossible, just extremely difficult since freedom is so appealing compared to bending before someone else.

>>281416031
If I had total freedom I could simply create a robot to talk to that would agree to everything I say.
Instead I need to work for food and shelter, and need to rely on others to help me with certain things in life.
This need for help foments a desire to coexist. I believe that with that need gone so disappears the desire for coexistence.

>>281416262
>I don't think it would be impossible, just extremely difficult
This may be anecdotal evidence, but every happy couple and friend group I know ended up together because of that trial-and-error, meet-and-split-and-meet-and-try-again approach. The only long-term IRL relationships I know of that didn't go through that process are all unhappy relationships.
>If I had total freedom I could simply create a robot to talk to that would agree to everything I say.
You have that right now. It's called ChatGPT. Why are you talking to us instead of it?

>>281416261
>possible to be alone without being lonely
Whenever I tell normalfags this they look so dumbfounded.
I do have friends and post on here as well, which might sound hypocritical, but I'm also perfectly fine with just doing a puzzle by myself.

>>281416383
>trial-and-error
My point is you wouldn't need this if you could do everything by yourself. I don't know if that's real or not, I just have a feeling it is.
>ChatGPT
Unfortunately the current models will refuse to say yes to everything so I'll have a harder time talking to a chatbot than anonymous people online.
