How are you Scandinavian gulls doing?
Half of the panels at Närcon seem to be "I'm so oppressed because x" and it's so ugh
>>9577851
Good thing that I don't prioritize panels
Hey. Dunno what to say, am here.
I saw a Cocona from flip flappers. Didn't expect that
>>9578143
Who are you cosplaying as?
Lots of good and hot dancers at the kpop random dance.
Salutations from me & neetie.
Good times were had, even though i barely knew anyone.
If anyone want to meet up for the ending ceremony just shoot me a (you)
>mfw Genki is going bankrupt because of Närcon
Good, fuck Genki for having a shit gameroom 6 years in a row.

Wanted to say hi to neet but he was always walking away when I saw him.
Nice cosplay I'd like to join a neet squad sometime
>>9579702
Sorry to hear that. I couldn't post anything for the whole convention since my phone was suddenly rangebanned again.
Next time I'll actually buy a pass so I don't end up with no means to post anything.
I'll likely be going again next winter and summer so if you'd like to meet by that time then it can be arranged easily.
>I'd like to join a neet squad sometime
If you're serious, you can contact me on my twitter and I can show you the ropes or just give you more info on it if you're curious. @intumescia
Might as well add a picture of myself from NärCon's flickr while I'm at it.
>>9579837
I figured you would be posting here. Was cool to see an actual neet-dude irl.
>>9579851
I don't post here much but I do check /cgl/ when I'm heading to a Swedish convention.
>Was cool to see an actual neet-dude irl
Were you the guy who asked for a picture close to the main stage? Because if so you're actually the very first person who knows what I'm cosplaying before taking a picture.
No problem, by the way.
>>9579852
I'm the guy who helped you pack a charger cord into your bag next to the stairs at the main stage. Poor guy, your gloves were too cumbersome.
>>9579856
Ah, I see. Either way I'm honestly surprised anyone in all of Northern Europe even knows about the Home Guard (as we're technically called, but NEET for short is just fine) in the first place. Always happy to pose for a picture.
And cheers for the assistance. My satchel can get annoying if I can't use my bare hand to feel around.
NCC winners? Just curious
>>9579993
Hasn't the Dorian guy competed with that costume before?
watched the NCC the other day, was full of cringe and out of sync or prerecorded audio. Why are Scandis so fucking terrible?
>>9579837
I'm thinking I could just take all my airsoft gear and get a black helmet, it wouldn't be a very precise cosplay but it could be fun.
You painted the neet on there with a stencil I assume?

>I'm thinking I could just take all my airsoft gear and get a black helmet, it wouldn't be a very precise cosplay but it could be fun.
That's pretty barebones but it works. It doesn't need to be fancy but generally what distinguishes it from a SWAT/Umbrella Security Service lookalike is the markings.
There's a big patch/plate on the back, a small patch on the front, an armband, and of course the text on the helmet. More than that isn't really necessary but does make it look better.
>You painted the neet on there with a stencil I assume?
Actually that's made of sticker paper which I strenuously cut out because there was no way for me to paint it on. It doesn't need to be painted on, but anything works as long as it clearly says NEET in white letters.
The HQ in Japan actually does sell a premade package with all the identification included. It's pretty cheap (compared to all the effort I went through of creating custom-made Swedish versions or higher quality equivalents of the stuff on sale) but if you'd just like to do it as a one-off thing or something then it's plenty good.
The downside is you need to buy it through a proxy site but that's no problem. I used a site called Buyee for a different item from the same store and although the shipping was slow it was cheap and got here in one piece.

I've still got some custom Swedish Home Guard patches and I could give you one if you want.
>>9580091
There was no Dorian in NCC (that was last year). There was one in the Master competition, though.
>>9580832
Thanks for all the info. What type of uniform are you using?
Thanks for the offer but I'd like to pay!
I think I could borrow a friends mp5. It's mostly my plate carrier that's all wrong, I have this but in black. https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB12n_tPVXXXXbJXpXXq6xXFXXXZ/Tactical-USMC-MOLLE-Multicam-Plate-Carrier-Quick-Release-Amphibious-Combat-Assault-Body-Armor-Vest-w-M4.jpg

No idea how that pic got there. Sorry. I'm not good at phone posting.
>>9580954
>What type of uniform are you using?
I use a pair of black pants and a long-sleeved shirt with good ventilation I bought at Röda Stjärnan since I'm such a plebeian. Of course you can use whatever you'd like, but I strongly recommend something that ventilates at least around the torso.
Most of my stuff is from Röda Stjärnan now that I think of it, actually. They're not the best and I can't testify for their quality in actual airsoft matches, but for my cosplaying purposes they usually have what I want at more or less the best price I can get. The only things I remember not buying from them are my accessories (patches, armband, some other stuff I'm probably forgetting) and my vest.
>I think I could borrow a friends mp5.
Any sort of gun will do, but preferably it should be colored black of course.
>It's mostly my plate carrier that's all wrong, I have this but in black.
There's no requirement on vests (other than having one, obviously) but the Home Guard "standard" is a really cheap one you can get on ebay. It won't fit if you're really tall (190cm+) or fat (100kg+) though, since it was primarily designed for the Asian market if I'm not mistaken.

Of course, it doesn't have to be this one at all, it's just the most commonly used one and it's cheap so it works.

I feel like I wasted my money going to Genki this year. Empty artist alley, empty gameroom, empty schedule. Should I have gone to Närcon instead? Was it more fun there?
>>9581090
There was too much to do, alot of smaller events clashed with main events.
As for vidya there was a whole dedicated building where i sinked a few lonely hours, super comfy place.
The alley was alright but ive only ever been to 1 counting this, i found this sick tee.
Take a good look at the next con schedule as soon its released, you might have to compromise.
>>9581695
Thanks! Sounds like there's more to do at Närcon, so I'll think about it next year.
Super dope t-shirt btw. That's a nice find!
