/late/ - Late Nights

I don't know if it's really all that unusual but I really like to leave my pc on while I fall asleep. The soft hum of the cpu fan just lulls me right to sleep.

> I'd often read the newspaper and in particular find the small column that detailed the launch and arrival of tankers and cargo ships at the local port.

That sounds pretty interesting actually. Although it if you live in a port town I guess its par for the course, if ships had been disembarking from where I grew up there would had to have been some sorcery at work.

this is probably a bit more common than reading cargo records, but i fucking love ASMR. i rarely, if ever, go to sleep without it.

Sometimes in uni I would get lunch and eat it on a bench undear a garden near my uni palace, it was pretty calm, felt pretty good.

A common trait of being comfy is being warm wrapped in a blanket.

I find the cool breeze of the wind at night comfy.

bumping this thread because it was pretty sweet. any other/new anons have something to add? maybe some who've already posted can post again with another obscure source of comfy? maybe some can discuss posts already here with confirmations, questions, etc.?

I would hesitate to call it 'comfy' outright, because I can be so much comfier with the traditional methods (warmth, music, etc.), but: watching my torrents.

Whether I'm downloading or uploading something, there are so many numbers to look at: the size of the files, percentage downloaded, upload speed and seed ratios, to name a few. The constant fluctuation of these numbers draws me into a trance.

After I start seeding, I usually sit and watch the numbers for a good few minutes. It's also a form of procrastination: when I was revising for my exams by the computer, I must have stared blankly at my torrent client for a good twenty minutes.

I also find the peer-to-peer relationships quite comfy. I just think about the guys that I'm uploading to. 'Huh, maybe the guy I'm seeding the documentary about Mongolian herdsmen to is a Russian student sitting in his bedroom and staring out the window onto a snow-littered square.' Things like that.

I guess I find these things comfy because the numbers are unpredictable, and therefore easy to gaze at while they continually update. Imaging the situations about the people I'm uploading to is probably due to the fact that I know nothing (just an IP address), and therefore there is a boundless field for imagination and rumination on their possible lives.

It's pretty weird.

That was actually really beautiful man. I've torrented for years but never really considered the peers.

The css of this board along with the darkness of my room and the sound of the bathroom fan in the distance.

Feeling like I have something and nothing to do at the same time.

Last night I was going through the old halfchan /r9k/ archives, reminiscing on old threads that I remembered from 3 or 4 years back when I was a wee lad.

So comfy, I felt so warm inside, reading through tard threads and stories about Frank and Mandy and all that shit

I don't know why, but I really like having a box fan in the bathroom. Just sitting there, doing nothing, with the gentle lull of the fan in the background.

The Haruhi Suzumiya anime. First time I watched it was at 3 am in the summer going into my sophomore year of high school. I was depressed and hadn't really had any social interaction that summer. It's so comfy to me, everything about it, the whole aesthetic of the show. I fell in love with the show and still rewatch it periodically

>>2645

Yeah agree. Dishonored was a great game that emphasized decay.

Listening to a punk band called Fall of Efrafa. It's strange to me, atleast; I generally hate punk, the songs aren't something supposed to make somebody feel anything close to cozy, and I don't like reading or watching movies so I'm not even interested in Watership Down. However, their songs make me feel like I'm walking outside in foggy and cloudy weather in the forest that surrounded my house when I lived with my parents.

I also bought the house I lived in from birth to 6 years old. I have my PC set up in my old room, opposite to where I had my SNES and PS1. I'll often emulate games from those consoles at night, and sometimes I remember when I was young, doing the exact same thing. Thinking about those times makes me comfier than anything.

Looks homey with those christmas lights. Do you make tunes or something?

>>3757

Yee, I'm one of the producers in the /late/ music thread.

I play guitar, sing, and do electronic shiz.

>>3760

whoops, wrong embed

>I also bought the house I lived in from birth to 6 years old

that sounds incredibly cute, i wish i could do the same, i remember i lived on a fancy modern house sometime from 3 to 5 years old, my family had problems with the owners, it was a rental, sadly sometime in 2010 i found it it was abandoned and partially demolished, man so many memories on that thing.

>>2752

this put a smile on my face, i have the same feeling when i contribute to share threads on many IBs, when i see a reply of someone who liked the album it just makes me happy that someone enjoys the same stuff as i do and discovered it because of me.

I remember loquendo videos, those were all the rage on the hispanic web almost a whole decade ago, slowly died in the past 5 years afterwards, this whole TTS software spawned thousands of videos of people bitching about even the smallest thing possible, elanticristo2007 being the one who brought this thing into the mainstream hispanic web, i sometimes watch those videos again, they make me incredibly comfy despite how childish they usually were and how they hardly make me laugh anymore, hard to believe it's been almost a whole decade

>>2529

I get that feeling when I listen to music high. I end up laughing and closing my eyes and feeling that. It's magical. The only thing I really like to do while high is listen to music

>>3994

Ambient music on spotify is great when you're drunk as well

>>2433

you're not alone.

'always needed some kind of noise (tv, fan, computer, people talking in the other room, etc) to sleep.

>>2527

I love doing that. I don't sleep on a mattress anymore, I just sleep on a blanket on my floor next to the window. Sometimes during the fall/winter I'll leave the window open and just lie down and look at the street lights/stars. My cats love to join me so much so that they flood the windowsill, and there's just barely enough room for all of us. Then one of them decides to be an asshole and picks a fight with seemingly a randomly selected cat on the sill and ruins the beautiful setting, but I enjoy every second of the time it lasts.

Occasionally something I'll do when I have the time is grab myself a one and a half hour long fire brick and chuck it into the fire pit and just sit maybe 1-2 ft away from it and stare into it. I don't know why, but it's always so easy for me to get caught staring into fire. I don't even notice it happening, but it grabs all of my attention. I quickly wind up thinking of many things, which then makes me tired. I don't know what it is that's so calming about fire. Even if it's from the end of the cigarette I'm smoking.

I love you people.

I feel we have a lot in common from just those words. Especially on that topic of peer-to-peer relationships.

I think I'll go to sleep now. It's 3:30 AM.

I know it sounds weird, but thanks to all for making these posts and giving me some things to think about while I'm barely even conscious.

>>4033

How many cats do you have, anon?

>>4043

8 I think.

usually about 4 or 5 will come into my room frequently to look out the window.

my cat (Sage) is usually the one to pick the fights.

Cats are essentially /late/tier. Let's face it.

I like to sit in my second story room, with the window wide open, to let in the cool, refreshing sea air. From this window I can see the entire hillside, looking down. It's comforting, looking over the small, residential expanses of housing, the thick forestry surrounding the homes, the gentle flicker of old, mercury stoplights.

I LOVE the kitchen, especially if it is a small one and with a soft couch. It feels so comfy because there is tasty food right next to you and tasty tea to drink.

Also rain, I fucking love rain.

holy shit i haven't been to this board in months

and it's still almost exactly as i left it

i love this place

as for strange sources of comfy, i find a lot of that actually comes early in the morning for me.

because of certain factors, i almost always have monday mornings all to myself, meaning i can do basically anything i want.

so i usually put on some late-night jazz, make a pot of coffee, and sit down to read a magazine, newspaper, gun catalog, etc., sometimes have a smoke. it's especially nice with natural light available.

it's a very calm, relaxing time before i have to get on with the day and get shit done.

strange that one of my most comfy moments of the week is during the time most people dread like the plague.

For me, it's that gentle sound of an old Dell inspiron's fan. Those were some good computers. Shame both of mine became unusable. My Thinkpad's nice, but I miss that comfy sound.
