>>6741 >Thinking in terms of more and more hardcore, levelling up except with how I spend my time, got me into this life just by the ideas videogames ingrained into me as a toddler. Even when offline, my clothes, food, decor, every aspect of my life that can be regarded as "levelling up" in being hardcore governs those decisions. quite a few people could adapt that mindset because of how much video games have extraordinarily impacted us for thinking in such manners that the RPG elements of leveling illustrates perfectly the sense of progress with every new step that you take. All of that makes sense, considering that with those decisions, you gain experience despite repeating said actions over and over, just that said experience doesn´t necessarily imply a better skill for those specific actions.
>it's nostalgic to hear the process described. I might rewatch the series for the 3rd time... I know right? It sounds so simple and trivial that one considers it a given, yet so many people fail to realize. Well, the easiest things are the hardest one to realize and while these reviews sound sophisticated, in reality, it´s all a mater of observations and placing clearly the aspects about what you want to bring up. I should probably watch the entire series as well...perhaps I would learn a new thing or two...
>it's extremely incomplete, there are much more comprehensive lists (I don't have the links right now, I have all the lists saved at this point so I'd need some time to find their sources again). basically people moved onto using scripts to crawl the internet and detect imageboards. I'd estimate there's at least 500, if not more, and that may not even be counting the Japanese imageboard scene, which I've only just begun to dip my toes into. phew, that number sounds incredibly overwhelming (and that´s by omitting the 2chan´s country!). You even skim through that surface level compilation of chans and a few of them are quite dead so I genuinely wonder how much activity those boards might have. I assume that considering that you have been looking for the most hardcore candidates, those imageboards surely don´t beat the sizes of 4chan or 8kun.
Anyway, whenever you find the allchans lists that you consider complete, feel free to share them even though I have rarely used allchans in the first place.
