Like, what do you guys do to make money for stuff you want as a hiki? I used to do quick under-the-table odd cash jobs when I was desperate. I also used to save up a lot and only buy something when I know I really wanted to.

My MacBook Air M3 has been an absolute tank for getting work done. I also use it for streaming, music, and browsing. However, after browsing around and doing a little bit of research, I’ve noticed a ton of people recommend the iPad as the ultimate device for casual things like media consumption, streaming, reading, videos, browsing, etc. I wanna know which one you think is actually better for that in your opinion? Since a MacBook can handle everything an iPad does and is already great for work/school, how do you decide which one to use when you're not doing any work and you're just trying to lounge and watch movies/shows or whatever. Do you still use your MacBook for all of that most of the time or do you reach for your iPad more?

To those who are Coldplay fans or listen to them sometimes, what is your favorite song by them? Mine is tied between Viva la Vida or Hymn for the Weekend.

I haven't played this game in ages, and it was my favorite modern CoD. I really want to go back to it, even knowing it's probably not as active anymore, but I'd at least like to be able to play my favorite modes from back then, like Faceoff and Gunfight. How easy or difficult is it to find matches for Faceoff and Gunfight these days? I know everyone says Nuketown 24/7 is the most active, but I mainly want to play regular TDM, SnD, Faceoff, and Gunfight.

It could be because of anything such as the scenery, beaches, restaurants, walkability, parks, architecture, stores, or really just the general feeling you get when you're there, what makes it stand out to you? Of course these are just subjective opinions, and vibes are different for everyone.

I've had Renegades by X Ambassadors on repeat lately and I'm looking for songs/music artists with a similar vibe. What I like most is the anthemic, uplifting feel, the big chorus, the stomping percussion, and that cinematic indie/pop-rock sound. Any recommendations? They don't have to sound exactly the same, just any artist/band's music that gives you a very similar feeling or vibe.

I'm looking for songs that have a very similar sound and vibe as "Electric Love" by BØRNS. I especially like the "shimmering" production, catchy chorus, and that indie-pop sound that feels nostalgic and almost magical. What songs or artists would you recommend?

The years are oddly specific I know lol, but I'm feeling nostalgic and want to build a playlist that captures the sound of 2014–2016. Mainly because, at least for me, the mid-to-late 2010s were such a fun and cool era for music. What songs instantly take you back to that era? Any genre is welcome

I’ve been wondering what fantasy books feel the most “Soulslike.” Not necessarily books that directly inspired the games (though those are welcome too), but books that capture a very similar atmosphere, vibe, aesthetic and feeling. I’m caught up with Berserk for manga which I know influenced Dark Souls a lot, but is there any for novels too? So far I have also consistently heard of Book of the New Sun which is in my list of books to read

just wondering, who gives you a more unsettling, uncanny, and off-putting vibe out of the two?

Who here watches anime or reads manga?
Anime and manga seem pretty popular in the NEET/hiki community, but they’re obviously not everyone’s thing. what do you usually do to pass the time?

or manga if you read manga? I’m currently watching Attack on Titan and I’m reading Hunter x Hunter too

do you still read shonen from time to time? Did your taste in anime/manga naturally shift as you got older? I like a bit of variety, so I read both, but I lean more toward seinen. I know shonen is just a target demographic, but for me personally, when I read a manga where the setting is a highschool, I find it to be something I cannot relate to as a grown man, but I know it probably doesn't matter to most of you right? I know that a seinen can also have teenage protagonists, but the content is too mature to be a shonen (Gantz for example).

Just wondering, do you guys have no friends at all, a few, or a lot? I assume that if you talk to anyone regularly, it's probably online since most of us don't really go out much, if at all. Personally, I don't talk to most people because I can't relate to them, and I often feel inferior, so I've mostly kept to myself after losing faith in people. Maybe some of you still have people you talk to, but for me, the idea of having friends (especially close friends) hasn't been a reality since high school, and that was quite some time ago.

I'm curious who people find more terrifying and what makes that character scarier to them. Which one scares you more, and what aspects of their personality or actions make him more scary than the other? I think they represent two different kinds of horror. Buffalo Bill feels more like a real-world serial killer, while Hannibal comes across as a more theatrical, larger-than-life movie villain.

just wondering, does anyone else like going for walks at night? I’ve started doing it because it helps calm my mind, even though it can be a little creepy when the streets are completely empty. It’s also the perfect time to take liminal space photos of quiet, bleak-looking places.
