    This is beyond epic.

    ...since I just came home from one of the most epic "metal nights" ever - yes, ever - I confess, that, reading this, right here, right now, is the best it can get ... for me. Thanks. I am humbled -_- ^_^

    @Diaks Our records state that the shutdown was in October 2008...

    @astralprojection Pavel is Frontier Psychiatrist by the way.
    And speaking of suicide in korean may even be on the lower level that the former OffTopic was... :rolleyes:

    Pavel was the one who admitted to be NHJO - but there are people who believe that was a hoax itself.
    The NHJO character has evolved from kinda interesting to uninteresting to (perceived) disclosed, but then somehow back to interesting because the content kept coming after the reveal - and to this day. We have allowed this supposed "hoax" to become a supreme multi-layered "deception" (or something perceived as such) which goes so far that nobody of the parties discussing the matter can actually be sure of their standpoint anymore, because there are always signals that may contradict it -- all of this paired with a master mind of the character's creator, that some would label as twisted - and surely something even stronger, if the things that were once posted in an unsuspicious looking thread on that "underground offtopic" forum were true - author was Otto Matta himself and the content was bone-chilling, I tell you this. I remember I inquired after reading, if he was serious or what his claims were based on, but regrettably I did not insist strongly enough on an answer, because it was never answered. If only I could find that post again - or maybe it's better when I don't find it again... :ph34r:

    Or maybe it's all just trivially explained by Otto doing a hit of the wrong weed one evening and so he wrote that deranged rambling I remember to this day :D

    There used to be a shutdown of Offtopic because the trolling went out of hand. Mars did that shutdown many years ago. This is what drove the active offtopic users off.

    They founded an alternative "underground offtopic" forum under the lead of Otto Matta (Epic Automata?) as admin. I have unfortunatley no clue what became of it because after Mars resigned, together with Insejn I "took over" on this forum here and I went nowhere else but here. And yes, opening the Offtopic was the first thing that was done by us here ... but it never found back to its former glory...

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's the story :P

    Thank you all for noticing, subscribing and watching the video!

    I appreciate your comments and it is a cool motivator to keep on ... also lots of thanks to Children and Mars for doing this (those 2 are confirmed I can say).

    The second part of Children's interview is online now:

    I will start doing more in the next "weeks" ... I will try to work on videos every week, but I won't promise that I finish a part every week ;)

    First question: commenting other videos n stuff

    in Psynews Projects discussion

    Posted

    At the moment it's only me and if there's only little content it can even stay that way, but the "roadmap" that I see would enable access for other admins or mods - or maybe also very few other people we 100% trust -- i.e. people who certainly won't make drunk rants in our name ;) 

    I also think it won't be bad doing a little commenting under the Psynews name - it can help in many ways, it signals exposure for certain projects that we are positive with or have an opinion about and it also gives us the possibility to be seen.

    I will do casual or non-psy stuff always with my private account, so this won't get mixed up.

    @Tsotsi

    I think album video reviews would be cool ... why not? I practically think, that all things done "in the spirit of psy" (oh man, hippie-ish words :D ) would help us - and maybe also your exposure (stating the content creator in a video and including a link in description or even in the video or embed it in a corner is absolutely OK in my opinion). So if you feel you have something to enrich the psy world that is on the "video editing level" of that first interview, go for it :)

    @Redo good post! Highly interesting.

    I do not believe in the satellite weaponry thing.
    Mainly because: if such things exist, they would be used way more frequently - and also not only to cause destruction, but also to prevent it ... I did not yet see such a case.
    And HAARP may be real, but not for these purposes - you can visit on special occasions as a normal guest - why don't you do it, by the way and share some pictures? :)

    Hi
    So now that we have a channel, we are also an active entity on Youtube...
    ... we can like, comment and subscribe on other videos too.

    Is that a good thing? How do you think about it? Is it cool for you when I or another admin / privileged member that has the credentials just surfs youtube and comments and likes / dislikes other stuff or should that not be?

    Or should it strictly be psytrance related?

    I'd like your 2 cents on that...

    I made a #HappyBirthdayPsynews.ORG birthday cake by sticking 20 burning candles onto a vinyl, which was a bad idea because I stained everything with liquid wax :D 
    So now I     am putting that LP in a freezer because I have read that 's a good way to remove wax stains...

    At least the candles are removed and it all was done without anything catching fire :P

    Cheers and Happy 20th Birthday to all and everybody on here :wub: :wub: :wub:

    #HappyBirthdayPsynews.org

    I did not plan to show up empty-handed, but it turned out that way for now - however, as it's 2020 and we are 20, I think it's good to say that we have the whole YEAR to celebrate -- and that's exactly how I would do it!
    If the things I had in mind turn out well, I will let you know and will post it under the hashtag above. It's most certainly not over for me before the year is over.

    First I'm gonna bake a cake for the occasion :D 

    EDIT:

    Cake is done! Happy Birthday Psynews.ORG:

    Shocking :o

    Even more shocking that people apparently light some of these fires themselves: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/01/07/australia/australia-fires-police-action-trnd/index.html

    And my boss (an Australia fan, you may say) recently told me that the New Year fireworks in Sydney were not cancelled because "the economy profits from the fireworks" ... if a damn spark can light a forest blaze, is it wise to make fireworks? I'm sorry, but I'm speechless at such stupidity of politicans and people who deliberately light fires...

     

    Near Death Experiences and Dying Process interview (Peter Fenwick)

    in Cultural / Spiritual zone

    Posted

    Hi, if you have an hour to spare and the subject interests you, this is what I found today:

    I think it's a brilliant video with a broad spectrum of aspects in there!

    One thing from me - or rather, from my mother - on the subject:
    My mother has visited my grandmother very soon after she passed away in hospital (maybe under an hour or not much long afterwards). My mother keeps telling me, to this day, that she saw kind of a "ball of light" (or rather a ball of "misty matter" as she describes it) emerging from my grandma's body and rising up, even coming towards her before slowly fading into thin air. She told me this like if she feared people would label her crazy if she told it to others. Thanks to this video by Peter Fenwick, I finally can comfort her that this was practically "nothing too much out of the ordinary", judging from the stories he tells ^_^

    It's, however, almost a kind of a let down for me, because I pictured my mother always as a kind of witch or shamanic being (fueled by the fact that she never wanted to hear anything of this if I even vaguely mentioned it to her)... turns out she maybe is not THAT peculiar after all and quite a number of other people have this aswell :D 

    Lots of love to you Psynews community :wub: ... I hope some of you enjoy that video.

    How long should a comp/album should be?

    Hi, nice topic, thanks for the bump and reminding me of it :)

    In earlier times I'd have answered: 60 minutes. I used to listen to music like that, lie on the couch with headphones and soak it in. But this has changed. I am not lying on the couch to listen to music anymore, I tend to be more active and sit in front of the PC or I'm otherwise busy. My listening habits have totally changed: I switched from an _album_ listener to a _track_ listener. When I like a track, first thing I do is put it on repeat ... sometimes for several times. The more I repeat the track, the more I like it! The next days, I keep coming back to it regularly ... until it slowly becomes part of my "collection" - not my physical one, but the one in my head.
    In the modern world, this track-wise thinking is more suitable for an activity stream oriented life: because the euphoria gained from single tracks is rather short-lived, I am more continuously checking out new pieces and also finding tracks that I like (which then can be reposted or shared, some may say) ... that generates more frequent and regular activity than listening to albums in entirety and thus having longer pauses because my brain needs these to process it all ... guess I'd be a good music content poster due to that more frequent activity scheme - if you like the stuff that I like, which I had to find out few people really do thoroughly :P 

    Also, one more point - more valid in the olden days: an EP that had only one track per side usually was 45rpm and deeply etched, creating a really rich sound when played. 

    Therefore I have to "break a lance" (german expression - do you have it in English too?) for the EPs ... I do like an EP more than an album.

    And especially concerning the modern times: consider the posting frequency. Content platforms tend to give new stuff a boost. Better use the boost for each track individually than release one album in bulk. DeviantArt is like that aswell. Which is why I'll release my blacklight pictures one at a time, even though it's old art and I could release maybe 10 at once...
