Thread 50161244

Post comfy nostalgic otaku setups, rooms etc, please

There's a SA thread that for a while was broken so I could view it without an account that I used to go to every now and then full of these. Most of them were of the crawspace ghetto nerd variety but there were quite a few otaku nests I was very jealous of, picrel being one of them (I've wanted the Noriko figure at the top for a very long time now but it's like two hundred ollars, the Louise daki, too).

>>50161337
Is one of them, don't remember if it was in response to that post or one by it but one of my favorite responses in the thread was:
>If I had a bazillion dollars I wouldn't keep my anime room in my huse. I'd keep it at the office. I'd hold board meetings in front of a seemingly endless, meticulpusly organized case of tiny polyvinyl chloride waifus and a big screen playing a muted magical girl anime. I would sit there with my fingers teepled and make manly men with rented wives with saline tits explain themselves to me, and then at the end of the day I would ride home in a chariot drawn by shiba inus.

Another one I'm very jealous of, to have not just one but multiple meticulousl organized and curated otaku rooms for different purposes.

But that said, my absolute dream otaku room is to have a 1:1 re-creation of the SOS brigade clubroom. Unsure whether I'd want the furnishings to remain exactly the same with a few figures here and there (the table in the center would be the dedicated display surface if this were the case), or if I'd want to cover the walls, bookshelves shelves, etc. in Haruhi and other golden age and prior otaku memorobilia.
Also don't know what I'd do about the window; if above ground then of course it'd be real with the actual view outside of it, but actually ideally it'd be underground with a facade that emulates the view of the courtyard and main school building. If it makes it easier, how it looked when in Closed Space works too.

This one leans more into the territory of "crawlspace ghetto" variety but still. It's a club room an in old university dorm in Tokyo if I recall, don't know what school though. While it's hardly the most sterile (there's some close ups where games and controllers are somehow fucking caked in like 15 years worth of wear and dust despite being constantly used and these being taken in like 2011) but I think it's a great illustration of the ideal /jp/sy hangout spot 99% of us never got to have.

Picrel is low quality because it was the loading screen of some random flash file I don't even have anymore

What did she mean by this.

I'm being completely sincere, as a pre-teen and late teenager, I thought these rooms were genuinely the coolest things ever!

Unfortunately, I got older and I became a man obsessed with the practicality and capacity of modular design of everything.
I really wish these still were a thing without the layers of irony or vtuber trash they've probably evolved to now.

>>50166176
>I really wish these still were a thing without the layers of irony or vtuber trash they've probably evolved to now.
I assure you anon that if I am ever able to build my SOS club room idea, it will be poisoned by neither.

Also, what's the cutoff point for "classic"? I presume 2010 and prior, but I do really like picrel and it's not like it's from yesterday.

>>50166176
>as a pre-teen and late teenager, I thought these rooms were genuinely the coolest things ever!
And you were right, they are.
> I really wish these still were a thing without the layers of irony or vtuber trash they've probably evolved to now.
There are definitely a couple of autists who still have their caves unironically, though it's not as prevalent as it used to be due to the normalization and degradation of the medium.
>Unfortunately, I got older and I became a man obsessed with the practicality and capacity of modular design of everything.
I feel that's an excuse. If you'd really wanted to make a otaku cave, you'd do it regardless.
I personally would want to make myself such a otaku cave but I'm not a collector/consumer, so the idea of buying a lot of random merch for some anime that I like feels weird.

Awwww, that sucks. Long time ago but I hope he's okay.

They had touhou memes back then?

Check out MFC old archive spaces it’s full of soul itabeya rooms from the past.

Danny Choo is notorious in the doll world for being fucking unhinged. That guy is not a sane and stable individual and shouldn't be allowed to post on the internet, let alone run a company. Dude will go nuclear in the face of any amount of criticism, no matter how valid or invalid. At some point the imaginary haters he would post about became actual haters because of his batshit business practices running SmartDoll. Even stranger is that he manages to get a brigade of rabid fans to whiteknight for him.
No idea what he did before dolls but if it's anything like what I know of him now, it must have been layered in pointless internet drama

>>50181320
He was well known on /jp/ before

>>50162067

Good taste

>>50165818
>>50181320
I actually had no idea the guy in that picture was well-known (and likely neither did the guy on SA who posted it), I googled him and saw he ran a doll company but that was it. Are there any particularly funny stories?
> actual haters because of his batshit business practices running SmartDoll
Don't know anything about this either, would love to hear more.

>>50173149
Why was the Steam ID cut out?
And I feel like I've seen this person before on TF2, though I don't know for sure. Def feel bad for them.

>>50173149
>>50184057
Nvm, one quick reverse image search and I found the profile now. Seems they used to do highlander on TF2 and have a history of cheating, they are still active
https://steamcommunity.com/id/m4risa/

>>50184073
>They
He.
Also apparently those allegations were just one guy who was salty that he defeated him.

>>50184104
>he
take your political shit elsewhere
No, there's entire threads on UGC and other websites about hacking and the SteamHistory shows a wallhack ban from 14 years ago. It's a long history and from personal experience, Touhou TF2 people are like that.

>>50184110
>SteamHistory shows a wallhack ban from 14 years ago
If you want to lie, don't make it so easy to disprove yourself.
>take your political shit elsewhere
You claimed that he was "they". You brought politics into this, not me.

>>50184073
lol it didn't give me anything, happy to see he's doing okay
I mean even if the cheating thing is true I'd rather he be doing that then selling his asshole.
>>50184128
>If you want to lie, don't make it so easy to disprove yourself.
I know jack about SteamHistory but that screenshot looks like you're proving what he says correct?
>You claimed that he was "they". You brought politics into this, not me.
You were the one who corrected him with
>he
So you were still the one who brought it up. I've been calling him a guy but I don't think it's incorrect to use "they".

Anyway, dunno if the guy's Japanese or not but I did find a series of pictures of a guy's library room that's a proper, well-organized collection instead of the hoard piles most people have. If I had the money to organize a large collection, this is how I would do it.

>>50184273
Only now seeing the Robotek box in that photo and also only just remembered the one with a bunch of American DVDs on a smaller (less-full) shelf so it's a westoid's collection but again a very impressive one.

>>50184256
nta they refers to multiple or group of people while he is singular

>>50184256
Nigga read. Also, if you check his profile on other sites you won't find anything at all.
>dunno if the guy's Japanese
Nah, he's American.

>So you were still the one who brought it up. I've been calling him a guy but I don't think it's incorrect to use "they".
As >>50184305 said, "they" is incorrect.

>>50184256
It was google ironically, tineye is shit.
Also they can mean one person who you don't know the pronouns for. Ignore >>50184128 and >>50184353 as they are either a person related to m4risa or m4risa themselves.
https://www.teamfortress.tv/user/m4risa/?page=33
This is a pretty comprehensive thread on how m4risa was cheating. TF2fags love to defend closet/blatant cheaters and pedos for some reason, doesn't help they are a Touhou fan.
I don't have any images to share, just keep on posting!

A fundamental rule of the English language is that any pronoun can be used for a person whose identity is unknown to the speaker, which includes "they" (which while yes is partly because it could be multiple people assumed to be one, it also does not strictly mean more than one person). If a tranny wishes to forego whatever their birth pronoun is, then the unknown-to-the-speaker rule kicks in again and they can be correctly referred to as whatever the fuck you want to call them.
(The above sentence is an example of the singular form of "they"; gramatically this sentence could refer to either multiple OR a singlular person that the hypothetical describes. If it were always a plural term, then the above sentence would only refer to specifically to an entire group of people and could not apply to an individual who is a part of said group. Were this the case, you could not use the term "they" for an unknown person who potentially is an indiviudal and not a group and have it be gramatically correct still. For another example, if you were to say "If a member of the SOS brigade knocks on my door, I'm gonna kick their ass", even if your reason for saying "they" is because it's pretty much a 50/50 if it's a guy or a girl, if "they" must be a plural term then it would be a gramatically-incorrect sentence because you're using it to describe a single person -- which is what the determiner "a" changes the sentence to mean -- instead of the whole group).
Ironically, traditionally the pronoun "she" is used in this unknown context and is also what the troon in question presumably wants to be called, but I'd imagine you'd rather rip your own testicles off than do that.

>>50184444
>What in that thread proves that he was cheating
I do agree with this though,
https://www.teamfortress.tv/283/ugc-highlander-rule/?page=2
In this thread here, the admin accusing him seems like a prick and he shuts up and changes the subject once Marisa pretty clearly proves that he didn't do anything. And even then he continues to be a dick to the other guys arguing with him.

>>50184566
Nah, the second you fuck with someone's identity or misgender it's typically something "moral" or politically motivated.
>>50184581
tl;dr
And yes all admins are pricks, doesn't mean some of them aren't right.
Can't believe this thread turned into tf2fags arguing, you people truly are insufferable

>>50184595
>tl;dr
That's fine, I was agreeing with you on that part. It's long because English grammar is complicated and I wanted to explain it as clearly as possible.
>doesn't mean some of them aren't right.
I don't have any reason to believe that admin is right though, again he stops disputing Marisa's claims once he brings up email dates and then afterward just starts attacking random people.
>Can't believe this thread turned into tf2fags arguing, you people truly are insufferable
Nah, I just like schooling retards on English grammar that they were too attention-deficit to learn properely.

>>50184638
you contradicted yourself in the same post
no, people can use "they" to describe someone they don't know the gender of or are unsure of it themselves and you coming here and defending a cheater that was exposed and quit 8+ years ago right after that thread is a guilty confession lmao

>>50184669
>no, people can use "they" to describe someone they don't know the gender
Again, I agreed with you there. My long rant was explaining why "they' can be both plural and singular. I agree with that part and disagree with the cheating accusation. The only "contradiction" is see is that I don't fully agree with everything you say. I also don't see any reason to believe that he was "exposed" because again the admin pressing him stopped after he defended himself. Yes he quit after the thread but reading the thread and account history that you linked, I don't really see any reason for him to stay in a league that's so hostile towards him.

why do tf2fags ruin every thread

Poseur thread. Still nice to look at though. The only one I envy is picrel.

>>50184057
>Why was the Steam ID cut out?
It was an attempt to avoid derailing the thread too much but alas

>>50187179
Oh shit, I know that guy!
Not personally mind you but I have seen several other pictures of his room before. Didn't save them though because I don't like the dolls he has (or dolls in general).
Remember it being used as a Linux ad and on one of his monitors was a pencil drawing of Ran hugging Chen.

>>50191433
That's sysadmin, you fucking newfag.
Lurk 10 years before posting again.

>>50192134

and with a name like that no wonder I didn't remember it

>>50181543
I knew about his website around the time 4chan came about (sadly I'm not an original oldfag).
He'd be featured on blogs about Japanese culture and posted articles with tons of HD photos of conventions, cities and all that.
It was an interesting read, like how he bought his first apartment in Japan, but then he started shilling his crappy dannychoo-tan or whatever she was called and his whole brand became that piece of shit. Before seeing that post, I had no idea he was still a thing or that he had started selling dolls.

Do you guys have anymore pics of his room so I can show my gf?

>>50187179
Sloppy job anon
It was a good room but don't post cheaters, especially if you know people will come out to defend them despite them being inactive 8 years.
>>50192134
>sysadmin
Don't know who this is, what a generic fucking name

The best thread on /jp/

>>50194776
After Konata the first thing I noticed in the room was the Monogatari poster with Mayoi on it, god I want to stroke her hair and yell "Timotei! Timotei!"
And picrel is a panorama of a room I posted before.

Good memory anon!

>>50196882
Give me the backstory. I'm curious.
If it has anything to do with TF2 or Touhou there's at least a 50% chance they're a pedophile.

I would do anything to have moments that would stay with me forever in a room like that

>>50199997
I only speak English and she was excited to talk in broken English with me. Her personality was warm and inviting, she kept prompting me with questions if our conversation died.
I have a photo standing next to her and I dwarfed her, she couldn't be more than 160cm and ~50kg.
Her jaw is slightly too defined for what I would prefer but it's not visible in the photo with the daki.

7/10 would wife/impreg in a heartbeat, especially if she made me egg omurice and drew stick figures of us on it with sauce.

>>50200060

I hope this wasn't a permanent installation because I really want one of those and hope he didn't destroy them.
