OCEANSECT

wow this place seems really slow now

 

havent been on in a while. like maybe early 2015. but it just seems like i didn't even miss that much. what happened?

 

waywt actually looks surprisingly good tho, better than i remember.

is it me or have a lot of people been wearing grid pattern base layers that poke out? its in the last two posts and probably a couple more times earlier in this thread. who started that

poor man's the-c.e.-effect leaking into mass(well.... massish) culture?

 

 

aka yes whate everyone eles said tumblr -> 90s worship -> 80s-90s hacker cyberspace pattern -> tumblr -> whatever

[union bomber uh "kimono"]

i don't understand why this is so cool to me, like i don't think it looks cool when dudes where noragis and jeans or whatever, i don't think dudes wearing kimonos out and about is cool, uh.... etc etc, but something about seeing images of that kind of thing is so cool. why???

So by these measurements the medium they have in this is like an xs American uniqlo shirt? For real? Fuck dude idk why I don't even like plaid but I really like this shirt http://item.rakuten.co.jp/takanna/ns330373

Anyone know where to cop large? Or I guess xl?

i've been thinking like that for time, but i don't think it's due to age, games are just so fucking shit by and large. agreed on ps4, can't remember a good reason for wanting one but it's completely gone now.

been pondering sm4sh purchase for like a month; console, game, adaptor and gc controller--might leave it tbh.

hl3 and cyberpunk save us

Is this how it is??? I used to love video games but now nothing ever appeals to me...

Well I enjoyed dark souls but not enough to buy a ps3 or whatever that was on...... It just doesn't seem worth it anymore... I can't tell coz I'm older and work full time or coz games just seem cheap and have quote unquote impressive graphics now instead of gameplay.

I think crystal chronicles was the last game I played aside from dark souls that the story and music and stuff really grabbed me. And the gameplay on that wasn't even that impressive to me.... But the weird stories and stuff were cool.

maybe its coz this place went from being a good "fashion" forum to a mediocre anime forum idk........

can you expand on "true otaku shit" and "streetwear otaku ness?"

these can be interpreted in various ways.

 

ahhh probably not and thats probably rly my problem. or maybe my problem is that as i've gotten more learned all of the depth of content i preceived in superfuture has diminished.

 

then again now that i type that i see that its such a dumb thought, becuase obviously no matter how much i know there is so much more that i won't know. but maybe for the majority of sufu i feel more learned about the things that drew me here in the first place, that the parts where i'm obtaining new knowledge about things are gone.

 

I had someone complain to me today that whole foods and mollie stones both have the same vendor for their seafood but wholefood; who most associate with as pricey, charges 12$ versus mollie stones who'd have the same fish for 18$

he sounded very outraged but what he didn't think and I didn't bother explaining, is that while they're both buying from the same source..wholefood has the capacity of buying in larger quantities to lower the price and probably can move the goods faster so all of that is incorporated into their pricing.

ideally the added overhead costs that wholefood has versus mollie stones should even the playing field a little more then that 6$ margin but hey

same thing with sufu--on surface there's a lot you think you see but behind the scenes, things happen that has affected the quality of content on here

with in regards to the economy; that has a huge impact on fashion/clothes..not going to get too history here because when economy is shitty the cuts first to go include public services and education

 

 

Well, from what I can see, the otaku-obsessiveness hasn't really diminished just diversified, there's still a wealth of content (whether it's good content is up for debate), just look at most of the threads on super shopper, most of all the visvim and urban techwear threads, or if you're really determined to prove yourself wrong, just about any superdenim thread, if you're looking for the autistic obsession that characterizes otakuness. If you're looking for streetwear specifically, yeah, I think the days of TAPS, Visvim, and Supreme being this forum's bread and butter is long over, but really, like most streetwear, when you're trading on "coolness", there really is a limited lifespan for the brand, and if you want to see people who haven't caught up with that, just look who's still buying it - master, vinneus, etc

 

Maybe Fuk? Or Care-Tags, but it seems as pre-occupied with "Fashion" in its diverse forms as Superfuture

 

yeah. thats probably true. and i'm someone who likes tech stuff so you'd think i'd be more happy. the discussion just seems so centered around a few brands, and it feels like people just devour anything new really quickly, despite quality, or just pass it up. and then, not just for tech stuffs, i guess its on me for not starting threads about things i'm interested in.

 

ppl still hate on ronnel.

imho forum is carried by ppl like vampyr , ednob , mag and sschad who have a finger on pulse of weird japanamica shit that northam ppl like myself like. 

vinneus/master/etc are still carrying the vis torch for what it's worth. 

i think a lot of sufu has fallen off the urbtech cliff and we're hanging out in ACR/urbtech threads, but if you want otaku obsessiveness, just fuckin wade in superdenim, dudes still doin same shit 6 years ago. 

 

/r/mfa is fine for people who don't go to ends of $$$ for rare pat ervell shit, but i just come here cause it's fun / relax. i don't spend much $ on clothes these days since i'm stuck in business formal shit most of the time. weekends are christos and robes so ymmv.

 

superdenim fsho still carries on that legacy of being way too obsessive over minuteae. shit is rad in its applications but just not something i can get behind, and that said i've bought jeans from self edge. its like a weird mirror world of things i want but can't rly care about. maybe just because i feel like daily life is oversaturated with that kind of denim obsession (and i mean obsession in the best possible way) and i got really tired of wearing stiff ass denim after all these years.

 

i don't know man. i want to respond better/more intelligently to these responses but i have a hard time doing so so i'll just leave it at that for now, as unorganized and terribly written as this post is.

 

i don't know what would make sufu "better" to me. partially i guess the things i feel have gotten worse haven disappeared just diminished.

expand

Expand as in expand on what happened? Well for one Sufu used to be kind or cool or if not cool then at least a place you could find some true otaku shit and at least semi serious discussion of fashion/streetwear. Now it just seems like a bunch of nerds who make fun of /r/malefashionadvice but honestly aren't that different. There still is that element of streetwear otaku ness and I keep coming back but it seems so diminished compared to old Sufu.

And I'm not trying to hate on new members I just don't know what changed. Is there another forum now that's like old Sufu or what?

wtf happened to sufu

 

edit: && why did my avatar disappear

you're hella dumb but imo he should still pay you

 

but all you can do now is keep calling him and shit idk

 

if he's rly bout not paying you tho i don't think he has to

I just finished a prerelease copy of the peripheral by William Gibson and my mind is blown and no one I know has read it or can for the next few months wtf. I won't give anything away but I almost (almost) wish I hadn't just so I could talk to someone about it.

I guess I'm just bragging but seriously I love Gibson holy shit.

also, in general, but also here too, i say such dumb shit all the time and kick myself over it, much like how i decide one day maybe i'll go to grad school or maybe i'll start a clothing company or maybe i'll try to get a fashion job again instead of what i'm doing now, but then i think thats so dumb the next day.

 

like peep my post history most posts are cringe worthy, idk how to get over it tho, i'm kinda crazy. fuck whatever

y in life is it so hard to decide what to do

 

y in life i gotta be 22 and dealing with that, and therefore its dumb, coz im 22

 

i.e.: y in life my life gotta revolve around shit that isn't supposed to be fo real until later, like point of life shit

 

like i feel like i decide a new thing every day and then it seems stupid later.

 

its like this: i'm already an "artist" but my art sucks so i don't try to get shows or anything, just grind away on my own and keep shit secret, coz i know its bad, but sometimes i like it, but then when i go back to the studio the next day, shit just sucks.

 

and furthermore i'm pretty much unsold on painting as a thing to pursue, but everytime i think that some new shit will excite me, either in someone else's paintings or in my own head, and anyway, even if not, then i go back and paint and it all feels good for a while.

 

but i got plenty other ideas

 

but

 

i'm 22 so who.... fucking........... cares......................................

 

at least i'm sure i'm bad at writing at least

 

but i wish i could be like some of my friends who are like.... paying their rent off of art, but whatever... not there yet...

again, no1 cares about me, and again, leaving france may 20th or so, so....... make it in may...............

chance des garçons the rapper

shot in the dark but anyone want to trade my white and blue i think paint stained dark gray climbers size 29 for your similarly messed up size 30 or 31 climbers? not horrible staining but definitely noticeable. sorry, worst post ever. pm me for pics i guess if you feel like you also have a pair of pants that just sits in your dresser coz they don't fit. also i'll take anything else paint stained you have that is even vaguely similar. shirts, jackets, whatever, shit you don't want. otherwise they're prettymuch brand new, i only wore them a few times.

 

yeah, worst post ever. srsly, trade me your messed up clothes for my messed up clothes. they just sit there being unworn i feel bad.

 

also if this is unkosher to post in the outlier thread srsly i'll delete just tell me

not that any1 here cares about me but i'll be in paris sometime mid may i think

 

newayz im flying to madrid on the 28th of april and then i think me and my girl are going to france sometime after that

fuckboi

 

thats what i'm saying

 

pick the salary and buy stuff ( oh hey clothes) to fill the void created by your soul sucking job

 

 

How the fuck is this a choice? You think everybody else has the ability to 'work their passion' for all life? A great job + 401K health (USian prolly), etc., offered, and the other option you have is unemployed? Fuck man, go work your ass off and save money for a few years and then figure out what you want to do, because it looks like you're just being a bum right now.

 

 

you should only turn down the steady job if you have a solid idea of what you want to be doing, plus the drive to do what it takes to go get a job in that field. 

 

i took the job

 

just want to say, i think i knew i was always finna take it, and wanted just to vent online, no offense to anyone who doesn't have that option.

 

that said, it seriously is not what i want to be doing, and isn't even a step really in the right direction (well, i do need to pay rent and buy food, so i guess in that sense it is)

i have (almost) no money and i feel like i have to pick between a salary, a 401k health insurance and all of that, which i just got offered, but doing something i don't really want to do, or being unemployed and not knowing what im finna do, but i feel like i'll hate if i take this offer

^thats y i save all the shittiest replies i can think of to my own posts before i post them in a word doc, so i can bust them out and smash people when they repost things i post

^so did i flip the meaning of that, and thats an image in support of macklemore? like woo finally a rapper who can kick it with cops?

 

coz i hadn't considered that as a possibility. if so, someone please school me. if not someone still school me coz while i understand the backlash against macklemore i also don't understand it.

can we just talk about this for 1 second.

 

i get all the hate at macklemore, but why it blow up so much. i dont even like the dudes music but at least dude isnt rapping about bitches and hoes and all that stere0typical complaints against rap music that im sure ur all familiar with.

 

and yes dude didnt get arrested and chilled with cops, i don't know everyone on there what that mugshot is for but for the ones i do know they did shit to get that mug shot taken.

 

and before you go off on me for being white, im mixed ok, i have a big black family. i get it. i get that he won a grammy to an all white panel of judges or whatever. and i get that there are rappers with tons of grammys who never won one against a white person (see, kanye west). institutionalized racism sucks, but that isn't macklemores fault. at least he has a positive message.

 

and while im writing a post thats finna get me negged ad infinum can i just say that i really dont get what the hype about kendrick lamar is about. dude raps like a middle schooler. hes seriously boring.

 

sorry if i brought up too much extra stuff, since obviously a pic of macklemore with cops surrounded by black rappers mug shots isnt about him vs kendrick, its just about him being white.

 

im honestly curious what you meant by posting this pic and why you got 20 upvotes. but whatever neg away.

wow dali face tat

i dont think i'll ever be part of sufu for real, whats up with that

 

but i am on that zojirushi hype
