actually that's something else that shits me: people who use the word 'awesome' to describe really average shit. so many other words available, but you just use 'awesome' or 'amazing' for everything.

Vocaloids, Video games, food that I like, peace and quite in my room with my internet and things, and maybe a few things more.

Those are the things I hold precious to me.

Last week I was at the arcade and found that the Daytona USA machine was broken. It would immediately reset after a race but continue to have a credit in the machine.
I spent a whole 2 hours just playing that game and it only cost me 50 cents.

Almost makes up for those times when I was young and too shy to tell someone the arcade machine ate my quarter.
It was pretty rad.

Nice.
Epic.
I like it.

Getting a bunch of things that I've been meaning to do for months done in one day. Rarely do I have that much motivation.

Oh, and this >>21340

Cheap tasty food, gardens, black hair, getting enough sleep, that feeling when you play a great game for the first time, fapping after abstaining for a week

Love and peace!

Video games, too.

To find good (eloquent and moving) art, be it anime, literature, movies or else.
To do something apparently decent myself.
Both keep getting less and less frequent.

I love Lolita fashion, both Gothic and sweet, also elaborate maid or waitress costumes. Cute girls in pretty cloths is just such a nice thing...
I wish I could go cloths shopping with my waifu and take photos of her in various outfits, that would be nice..

Finishing things, cleaning, when I manage to trick myself into doing something other than reloading the same few websites over and over again.

Dressing up cute girls (either in game or dolls). Collecting figures and dolls. Japanese variety shows. A rainy day. Checking the time and seeing only a short amount of time has passed by when whatever I just did felt really lengthy. Working out.

I think there's alot of things that make me happy.

Reading, falling asleep, discovering games that aren't shit, looking at cute pictures of cute 2D characters, eating and making delicious food... all of which with no distractions from other people.

threads that are actually about interesting topics or have actual original content in them rather than threads about boring people talking about themselves, which is a topic i don't give a shit about and belongs on /soc/ or /so/ (which are the same thing anyway: boring people talking about themselves) and neither of which i ever look at.

>>21385

Kinda interesting since all you've done is talk about your preferences.

>>21394
yes, that certainly is ferrous

Stories about true love
Pretty jap female voices
Walking around at nighttime
Falling asleep
Thinking about sailor moon
Sugar
Seeing mothers who seem to really enjoy being with their kids
Pretty music

>>21394
It's not interesting. It just makes him a jackass.

>>21404
Wait, what?

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ferrous

It makes me happy when I can take it easy all day.
Music also sometimes makes me happy, but others it really does not. Cute pictures like this are nice too

I like finally being able to afford my own apartment, no roommates, no family, just me in a comfortable space surrounded by my own stuff and my own life. I like being able to hang around on my day off, work on projects, surf the web, play games, or do whatever the fuck else I feel like doing, just relaxing and enjoying the freedom to be as strange as I want to be in my own space.

Also, cute lolis.

Coffee. I like coffee a lot.

>>25284
Ramen brother. Best hot beverage.

Rainy days or cold days make me happy, they make me feel so comfortable and nice, especially if I wrap myself up in a blanket or a comfy sweater. I am always a lot more angry and stressed out in the warmer months.

>>25295
You have good taste.

>>25295

The warmer months bother me some too, I think it's because the winter months are not very harsh where I live though. Even in the winter I don't go out in many layers.

Winter is nice, Fall is too.

There is a tree nearby that looks particularly pretty in fall.

Looking at the stars at night. I know it sounds clichee and shallow but I still like it a lot.

I also like it when it's really cold outside and the air smells different than usual at night. It's especially easy to notice when there's fresh snow, but even without any snow right now the air kind of smells different than in summer. It comes with the cold temperatures. It's probably some sort of bacteria in the air, like with the smell in the air after rain or after mowing the lawn. Anyone know what I mean?

>>25404
It's probably just the lack of humidity. The air feels crisp.
I like drinking good beer/whiskey/gin, walking at night, talking with mai waifu, hitting nitrous, and making and eating good food.

I like winter. It's nice.

The snow here is also nice

Oh boy, here we go.

I like:
- rubbing my face into my pillow
- hot showers
- drinking at the lower of side-by-side water fountains
- laying on the floor on my back
- turning down requests to sign petitions
- waiting for my toenails to be really long before I cut them
- not using my primary hand when I drink or brush my teeth
- discovering obscure things on the internet in unlikely or unusual ways
- romantic subplots in stories that are not primarily romance

I like soft things especially my blanket/pillow and t-shirts.
I also like drinking mildly fresh water while eating something very hot, feels good.

>>21334
Listening to fresh 90's Japanese romance pop/power ballad songs and albums.
Every time I hear a new one it makes my day.

for something a little less /mp3/

Finding new things to buy or spend on, whether they're collectibles or just stuff that adds content and activity to life.

>>25404
I know what you mean about the smells of the outdoors. I have a keen sense of smell and it's a very strong emotional tool for me. Many smells are nostalgic or remind me of particular things.
I very much miss the wet smells of spring and the sappy scents of fall. Reminds me of when I was a kid and did stupid shit outside.

I also like the winter, and going in my back yard in general when it's cool, it's really relaxing. In fact, I think that's just a general trait of recluses.

Things that personally make me happy are daydreaming about my continuous story, and of course music, maybe Castlevania or Silent Hill music. I also love Castlevania 64, especially the speedruns, Cosmo's runs are amazing. Watching those really relax me for some reason, I could watch that game be played all day. I also program and draw sometimes, not as much as I should though.

Snow, rain, frozen yogurt, having self-esteem for a little bit before it shrivels and dies, salsa with chips, chili dogs, fish sandwiches, cats, finding good stuff at garage sales, Saturday morning donuts with pigs in the blanket, actually good pizza (none of that Papa John's garbage), Kirby games, being able to like things without getting hate for it, sleeping late on rainy days, having a good run in otherwise difficult weather, voices that sound nice, and really soft things.

The gentle curves of a Sega Dreamcast controller.

When I get to drive home in the rain after work, knowing the nightmare is over for a little bit.

Thinking about the cast of characters from Azumanga Daioh, especially the relationship between Yukari and Kurosawa.

Waking up in the afternoons. Managed to do this even back when I was a proto-neet and it still hasn't lost its charm.

Being understood, and understanding and agreeing with someone else.
Getting something, especially concepts, in order.
Playing badminton.
Big and healthy pines.

Having a cigarette and coffee in the morning
The rain at 3am

ejaculation

My room.
Despite living solo in apartment, my room is my kingdom.
Its a maximum comfy,well equiped room.
I can endure whatever I have to as long as it means Im coming to my room.Just knowing that my world and my girl await me in my room gives me strength to come through just about anything.

Detroit house music. Specifically stuff like Andres, Moodymann...

I rather like miniatures, more detail the better.
I love cute and/or pretty 2D girls with a passion. I also like tinkering with electronics when I can.

>>29502
How does one make their room maximum comfy?

>>29555
pillows, pillows, and more pillows, with comforters to taste. also a setup to play games and watch anime

the magical period of pulling an all-nighter when you are really tired and the sun is just getting up, though I dont pull as many all nighters nowadays

the first cigarette of the day

People that truly get excited when talking about their interest or hobby. They have something that they love so much that they can't help but smile about it.

Isn't that wonderful?

my doggy and my cats, nice landscapes, cool bugs, animals, flowers, mushrooms, moss, the smell of rain, quiet places, cute touhous, napping

Anime~ still makes me happy but it seems that the anime I like is getting harder to find.
Coffee~ a good italian-style espresso still makes me grin.
Computer~ time to upgrade but I feel smarter using the pc for e-mail,spreadsheet,video-editing...
Car~ saving up for an 86GT. It's gonna be good when I hit that target.

>>29502
This post reminded me of safe rooms from Resident Evil for some reason...

Sugar

Korean Dramas

>>33073
Why do you think people like Korean drama instead of Japanese ones? Is it because the Japanese are more ugly than Koreans?

>>33074
From a genetic stand point that makes no sense since they're so close. Plastic surgery is more popular in Korea though, but looking at the actors, they seem the same. Maybe it has to do with licensing.

>>32893
Sugar's great, but I don't like the fact that I have to pay extra to buy sandwich bread and ketchup that doesn't contain superfluous sugar.

>>33076
In San Francisco there is a sugar tax, so if you buy a 20 pack of soda, it's like 2 or 3 dollars more expensive to buy the one that isn't diet.

>>33075
http://www.globaldigitalfoundation.org/analysis-android-is-a-platform-not-a-commons-1
This paper looks into why Korean pop music reached international notoriety where Japanese pop music declined; perhaps drama shares some of those reasons.

>>33077
I hate the stupid laws that SF and Berkeley enact to "virtue signal" progress. Diet soda just substitutes sugar for aspartame which has its own set of risks and side effects. Not to mention the plastic straw bans.

>>33077
I don't see how that helps. After all, it doesn't change the price of the "diet" version. Plus, for soda, ice cream, and a bunch of other stuff, I don't mind eating all that sugar. It's a treat after all.

>>33076
>sandwich bread and ketchup that doesn't contain superfluous sugar

I think it's pointless. These things are by their nature chock-full of saccharides, no way around it. Even if the label says the product contains less simple sugars they're still going to be bursting with other sugars and starch and shit.

If you're really worried about consuming too much sugar you should consider limiting eating things like bread in favour of stuff that's actually low in carbohydrates.
If you don't care that much then why pay extra just for a marketing trick? I see no benefit in buying such 'fake diet food'.

>>33083
Italians eat pasta constantly and they're not fat.

>>33084
I think their portion sizes are a lot smaller than the US counterparts.

>>33085
Yeah they are. I missed the "limiting" part in your post.

>>33084
Don't know about that. All the Italians I knew were fucking fat or at least pudgy.

>>33087
Almost every developed country is struggling with obesity but I think the other anons meant statistically and comparatively to the US.

>>33083
>If you don't care that much then why pay extra just for a marketing trick? I see no benefit in buying such 'fake diet food'.
I'm not a health freak or anything. The biggest reason why I dislike the extra sugar is because it ruins the taste of, for example, the sandwich bread, ketchup, and peanut butter.

>>33087
American Italians or Italy Italians, because what they eat and the way they eat it is not the same.

>>33088
Sure. About two thirds of us are overweight, across all of Europe. What I meant was not that Italians are unusually fat, just that they're also as fat as us.

The differences between 'national diets' aren't that big anymore. We all stuff our gobs with the same shit. Same 'imported' internationally popular dishes, fast food, sweets, snacks, soda, beer. Local cuisine got overtaken by the global favourites.
But I think even before globalization food in most regions was based mainly on cereal and starchy vegetables. That's what agriculture was always focused on, probably everywhere. But today barely anyone gets enough daily activity to eat all of that high energy food and not get fat.

Could be the only thing Europe is united in is obesity. We grow fat together, that should be our motto.

I don't know how we compare to the USA.

>>33091
Carry on then. Personally I can't tell the difference.

>>33092
Italian Italians. I don't know why so many of them come here when our country is worse off than Italy in most aspects.

>>33093
Italy's economy is stuffed due to austerity measures. Also Italy's resources is nothing compared to USA.

A good meal makes me happy.

Free time makes me happy.
