I've been working on this side project of mine for about a month, all done with my hand for the purposes of learning a new programming language and framework (ASP.NET). I'm not the most creative so I picked 4chan as a goal and I haven't got much but here's what I done so far: - Boards, Threads, Posts - Quotes, Backlinks, Previews - Greentext, pinktext, links - Account system One thing I did differently from all the rest is I made accounts mandatory to post, but accounts are not created with a username/password but instead have no PII besides a long hard to guess string. You request an identity, the server generates you a high entropy passkey, and you can use that on any device to identify yourself (or create as many new accounts as you want). You're able to view it again in settings and log in from another device using a QR code. I also added log-in through Steam for fun and it worked really well, I was actually surprised how easy it was to implement. Anyways... as soon as I began implementing moderation I stopped working on it. Not interested in reinventing the wheel and it quickly turned into busywork instead of learning. If I was to continue working on this I'd use something like Claude to write code for me. Since I understand the architecture required, I'd rather it just write the code for me instead of wasting an hour or two of my time on this. My interest is in programming but now I lowkemono have no clue what to do next besides nothing :\

>>3132 I forgot to add but my idea behind the pass key was to allow people to have a watchlist, notifications, (You)s, and post delete/edit across devices that doesn't rely on local storage. You'd be able to watch a thread on your desktop, then view it on your phone at work. It would also allow me to implement a media approval with trust that I see many other sites implement but in a non-intrusive way (I think).

i've worked on a lot of more sadly invisible stuff (code) but i'm finally on the track to begin working enemy AI. i'm thinking of going for a hybrid of behaviour trees with a bit of GOAP world state evaluation for enemy logic. I might use scriptableobjects for easier iteration, but i hope it works. also new thing i guess.

>>3132 From perspective of an imageboard admin, the biggest improvement over existing engines would be tools to combat spam. ASN banning, dynamic blocklists loaded from files (local or remote), shadow banning or delayed ban+delete based on banned phrases or even something fancy like image classifier to detect suspected CP and send a push notification to phone. I doubt anyone would use it over the tried and tested options, but it would make for a neat proof of concept.

>>3135 Interesting, I could implement all that in jschan since I'm familiar with that engine the most. Writing a new one has no benefits tbhdesu >I doubt anyone would use it over the tried and tested options Pretty much, I was doing this for myself to learn a technology I needed for work and it served it's purpose. I'd rather do something for myself instead but it was cool seeing it work

>>3048 >>3051 Now that Nitter is back online I can make a guide for making Nitter x RSS feeds. This way it's easy to view what your favorite artists make without you ever visiting Twitter. I used to have a large feed until Nitter instances kept getting taken down by Twitter.

>>3052 Go for it. I'll still mostly stick to Pixiv and the like (even if they're less populated nowadays), but it'd be aight to have that as an option.

>>3052 Is Nitter back, then? The only instances I know of still seem to be down, but my knowledge of such things is far from exhaustive. I know Xitter can be an unpleasant place. In my opinion the secret is not to make an account and not to engage. When Nitter worked, there were a number of artist and art community accounts I'd visit from time to time just to see what new art had been posted. Without Nitter I can't see much at any of them. But here, have a random skunk girl I found at e621.

>>3051 >It feels like recovering from contact with a poison, even if I received a much smaller and less direct dose than the twitterfag does. Every time I check up on my twitter feeds, I come away from it with a deep feeling of unfocused anger and sadness. There's something about a billion voices screaming for attention that makes it impossible to pay attention to anything individual or form any kind of meaningful attachment, and that becomes very upsetting. >>3052 Yes, please do. Nitter was probably the best thing to come out of the 2020s internet.

>>3052 Hallo anon. Do you plan on proceeding with this?

>>3069 >not kemono bleh

>>3068 >rizzless >wh*te >kys A real shame that this zoomer escaped the abortion chambers. >>3069 >Am I not allowed to find them attractive without first putting on a fursuit? Honestly, yes, that's what they're mad about. Furry "culture" is a collective agreement to be homosexual and easily controlled under common conditions, and HMOFA is perceived as a threat because the dynamic shifts from destruction of the self to appreciation of essential feminine beauty. Also, they hate straight people, hence the projection/lies about getting cucked by niggers or being forever alone.

At this rate, Shinobudev is going to fix white birthrates and replace the furry community with a swarm of HMOFA autists in one fell swoop.

>>3115 Apparently it hit somewhere near 700k wishlists about a week ago. While I think the game is ultimately a very generic survival craft slushpile experience with no innovation or interesting mechanics (and which uses a stiff AI voiceover for promotional videos), it is also a game about having a ton of healthy children with a hot wife who loves you. They who pull the wires are probably shitting themselves that this game exists at all, which is a good thing. I must also correct you that as much as wish it were to the contrary, the wolf mama design is firmly in monstergirl territory. I don't think anybody will be drawn into the HMOFA fold from this game.

>>3129 Monstergirl? Moar liek momstergirl, amirite guise? Amirite?

>>3103 loved the fennec, also the whiskers thing reminded me about a drawing from that russian guy who draws a lot of Maid Marian as his wife, I think that is funny how most of the time whiskers are unconsciously omitted in most drawings --- >>3116 coincidentally enough, in the brazilian south there is a lot of german heritage, I find it strange that some time ago there has been an online movement from some germans(?) stating that "southern brazilians need to stop larping as germans because they aren't considered as such and would be discriminated if they went to europe" when they still maintain the traditions from their ancestors which migrated to the region, some would say even more that people from Germany itself I would say that there is a divide into people from the south and (some of the) southwest which celebrate their european heritage and history and others who look to any sort of congregation that does not circle around africans or indigenous people as "problematic". My ancestors were from the Iberian Peninsula, mostly portuguese, and since I was a kid I heard from people that I would suffer prejudice if I was to interact with portuguese people, that they were not fond of brazilians, that "they took all of our gold" and so on. As I stated before regarding the bandeirantes, I think that is sad how we were indoctrinated into ostracize the people which helped building the nation. In a lighter note, please make more of these two goats, I would love to see they celebrating Oktoberfest or something like that. also, second pic is from a usual day in Santa Catareich, kek

>>3126 >coincidentally enough, in the brazilian south there is a lot of german heritage, I find it strange that some time ago there has been an online movement from some germans(?) stating that "southern brazilians need to stop larping as germans because they aren't considered as such and would be discriminated if they went to europe" when they still maintain the traditions from their ancestors which migrated to the region, some would say even more that people from Germany itself That isn't unique to Brazil, as a lot of immigrant or colonial communities end up almost time-locked in the dialect and cultural practices of their homeland and miss out on later developments. There's descendants of Slavic immigrants in my country who, when they visit their ancestral homelands, are told by bewildered natives that talking with them is like talking to their grandparents.

>>3116 Damn, I feel for the guy. Just talk to her. Repopulate the white/caprinid species, guys. Please draw them standing in a sunny wheat field. >>3126 Funnily enough I went on a Wikipedia crawl recently and got from Operation Highjump to esoteric fascism and the beliefs of Miguel Serrano in four clicks. Fun read. South American nazis are always the most colorful/insane.

>>3106 You should be glad that you can easily make the kemono girls you want. Though if you don't have a good PC you can always use Novel AI. >>3108

>>3108 Forgot to add a reply. https://novelai.net/image Honestly the best online 2D anime girl generator is Novel AI v5. For reference, that site seems to be using Stable Diffusion 1.5 models, which is something 2 years old at this point and very outdated. Basically being 4-5 generations behind in AI image software. Novel AI may cost money but it's better than most local AI models and competes with stronger local image generating models. It can accurately add text to images and even gen comics. What's also impressive is its image referance feature where you can give an image of a character and you can use said image to gen a bunch of stuff with them. I think you can add around 6 detailed characters to one image too. >For that one I used the online tools at Perchance.org, specifically "Image Generator Professional." It's cool, I don't need the metadata now. I thought you genned it locally. Saying that, your prompts aren't bad. If you use something with more natural language understanding then you'll be just fine. However if you have like 8GBs of VRAM (check your GPU specs to see how much VRAM it has), you can gen practically anything, though it may take some time for hi-res fix stuff. >Shortly thereafter in a discussion of fox characters "nophoxo" was coined. What was this board anyway? I've been hanging out on 4chan /trash/ threads to learn some AI stuff but ended up helping other anons in the long run. Though I've also learned plenty from them. The threads are unusable now though as literally 2/3 of the posts is just one schizo spamming because he got banned for being a spamming sperg before.

>>3110 >1st pic It's a trap, her big fluffy boobs are so tight in that outfit it's like a finger trap, but for hands! Then when I can't pull my hand out, she'll accuse me of groping her and bring me to her "correction office" where she will do terrible terrible things to me...

>>3112 Sorry anon, there's no Paizuri Camp waiting at the end of the cart ride.

This is a cute fox

>>2632 Agreed, even if it's slower than a turtle girl who doesn't want to leave the shell spa

True

>>2327 I don't even remember where I got it from, but it certainly wasn't /trash/.

>>2991 Such is the fate of a tanuki.

>>3005 Fate can be cruel.

>>3107 Dumb ass looking thing 😭

>>3094 i visited it once. not a fan of it. can you explain the backstory for a newfag?

>>3095 The guy who made it was a local gay schizo who dumped mediocre art no one liked, roleplayed with himself, and cobbled together random assortments of posts across different websites into fictional people he'd get angry at. He did this regardless of whether people talked to him or not. Without janny intervention, he could utterly dominate a slow community and drive away anyone with less stamina than himself. That last part wasn't hypothetical: his presence was so cancerous that he killed Capybarachan's old kemono community on >>>/amg/ all by himself. By the time the second general came around (>>>/amg/1555), almost every single anon had left, and he was left dumping art in a void and posting engagementbait questions with zero responses. It's been completely dead for almost two years now. The smartest thing he ever did was realize he should make his own community instead of forcing himself on others.

>>3096 Forcing mediocre gay porn and talking to yourself is actually giga tho

>>3096 fascinating piece of capybarachan history. i suppose that with the anthro.boo partnership this board could gain a little more life

>>3096 >take a look at the /amg/ thread >instantly hit with a rush of recollection I remember that faggot from the /animu/ kemono threads years ago, like pre-lockdowns and everything. That guy is the reason I made the board rule against yaoi and futa. God, I thought he had killed himself by now. What a shame that the rest of us had to suffer even further.

>>2868 >Could you give some examples? All the modern multiverse fiction. Bioshock Infinite, Sonic Prime, modern MCU and MCU-adjacent slush that leaps to another world whenever the current one is getting stale. It's especially obvious when a character dies and the gang has to go do a different dimension and get a replacement version of that character. Your example Time Patrol story, purely from your description, is not what I'd call a Many Worlds story: it's a what-if story with a particular type of alternate or speculative history, similar to the DC Comics Elseworlds stories ("what if Batman were a pirate? what if the Joker were Jack the Ripper?"). A Many World story truly needs more than just one or two places in order to be judged by that moniker, because otherwise it's just a story about two places that have effects on each other. That type of story is perfectly fine - frankly, it's the basis of a lot of good fiction - but it's fundamentally different. Strict adherence to the Many Worlds theory is also required for me, where every single possible point of deflection or choice manifests as a different world. Obviously such a setting is impossible to become invested in because there are literally infinite copies of every possible character with every possible permutation. I admit I'm a purist about definitions like this, and I prefer straightforward stories that are written and told well; craft matters to much much more than theory, and by that same token if that Time Patrol story is told well then I'm sure I'd enjoy it.

>>2908 Understandable. I will admit that I haven't been to a movie in a theater in years and years. The cape movies are something about which I see memes, not something I watch. I will also say that I used to read a lot of science fiction, to include splatbooks for pen-and-paper RPGs when especially bored. The tone of sci-fi published since the end of the Protracted Struggle does not appeal to me very much, and the authors whose work I enjoyed are dead. The RPG stuff often had really clever ideas and worldbuilding but not really so much in the way of coherent story. When I was bored enough, and I'd been able to find this stuff at a used book store, or in some ancient undisturbed FTP archive somewhere in the pre-SEO, pre-AI Internet. The GURPS Infinite Worlds books had clever ideas along with some japes that didn't quite hit for me ("we call this timeline the United States of Lizardia, and it's exactly like present-day Earth in every single way, down to the names of celebrities and the current popular music, except that everyone is an anthropomorphic dinosaur," are you people serious? who approved this?). There's also a GURPS Horror worldbook called "The Madness Dossier," which has to do with a war between humanity, waged largely by secret government agencies, and time-traveling entities whose exact nature is not understood (alien conquerors? demons? evil ancient gods? pick one or make up something weirder) who are fighting and flipping the world back and forth between two timelines: the world we know, and a world where humans are the slaves of these hostile entities, which has a lot of good writing and evocative ideas and could have been the core conflict of a very good skiffy novel instead of an RPG. One of the core concepts is that stuff can sometimes survive intact from the "other" timeline when things flip back and forth, resulting in possibly somewhat cliched plot bunnies like "someone found the shiny alien superscience weapon that was never created and shouldn't exist and sold it to a pawn shop, so now you have to track it down and retrieve it before whoever bought it blows up the city, or, worse, attracts the attention of the evil insane alien gods who want to enslave us."

>>2868 Having finished the last story in the volume, I gotta concur with >>2908: these are enjoyably weighty time travel stories, not many-worlds fiction. Thanks for telling me about the book: it was pretty fun to go through. I find it interesting how a major complicating factor (if not the true one) in every story except The Only Game in Town was an agent's affection for a woman, and that Everard was always on the sidelines of this.

>>3061 oh no I love them
