Sometimes, I wonder if it's possible to upload yourself to the web. I would like to do that, so I wouldn't need to worry about anything.

same. i wish to leave the physical world behind. it's all so tiresome

maybe not entirely possible but with the grow of ai chatbots, you could create a version of yourself, trained with your "self". your mannerisms, your voice, your mentality. its like creating a alone of yourself so perfect that you would know in your head that its you and you're it.

Hi!! I wabt to ask what is this website, it's like a forum or something? But it seems a little small, maybe the start of the Wired??

We are a Lain-focused community rooted in the spirit and aesthetic of Serial Experiments Lain, drawing inspiration from its deep philosophical undertones, cybernetic questions, and explorations of identity, reality, and digital consciousness. Our space is designed to be a haven for those who think differently—those who seek out the obscure, the complex, the forgotten, and the experimental. We encourage open-ended discussion and inquiry into a wide range of subjects, including philosophy, esotericism, fringe theory, alternative ways of thinking, countercultural movements, cyberpunk narratives, and evolving technologies. These themes are approached not just as academic curiosities, but as living ideas that shape how we understand ourselves and the increasingly blurred lines between the real and the virtual.

Wirechan is built around a mature, self-aware userbase that values introspection, intellectual curiosity, and a sense of digital comradery. Our users are not here for fast-paced noise or fleeting trends—they come seeking deeper engagement, slower thoughts, and meaningful interaction. The platform supports a diverse set of boards tailored for both in-depth discussion and lighthearted, creative exploration. Whether you’re drawn to metaphysical speculation, obscure internet culture, media analysis, digital minimalism, experimental aesthetics, or simply want a space to share and discover oddities, Wirechan offers a place to belong.

Above all, the Wirechan experience is meant to be comfy—not in the shallow sense of escapism, but in the profound sense of finding peace in understanding, quiet moments, and shared contemplation. It is a space for stillness amid noise, for questions without immediate answers, for sincerity over spectacle. We invite you to slow down, dive deep, and connect with others who see the world through a slightly different lens. Here, comfort and philosophy coexist, and the weird is welcomed as a vital part of what makes us human in an increasingly post-human age.

I understand, I thought it was just another forum, but it seems like this is more serious, maybe I'll go chat somewhere else and when I want to talk about more serious things come here, it's always good to know there's a place like this :)

Ah, I see. It appears that the intellectual depth of this space may not immediately align with your current predilections. This forum, as you may have discerned, is a sanctuary for those who wish to venture beyond the superficial and engage in the complexities of existence, identity, and the nature of reality itself. However, when the time comes for you to transcend the trivial and immerse yourself in more profound, esoteric discourse, this space will, of course, remain available. May you find temporary refuge in lesser realms, though I trust you will ultimately return when the call of intellectual rigor becomes inescapable.

Not much. Going to bed, but my room isn't nearly as comfy as in OP's pic. I'm glad koi kept this place up since all of the other imageboards I browse are fucked right now.

So what is everyone's take on the Lain video game from 1998? It seems like such an interesting piece of media that I feel doesn't get anywhere near as much attention as the original show. This is most likely from it's unorthodox gameplay and unconventional systems, but nonetheless I think it deserves some kind of analysis of it's artistic merit as it is entirely independent of the TV series.

I find the game to simulate the feeling of drowning in the wired's never ending flow of information very well. I was consistently given a feeling of dread while sorting through it, not sure if that is from it's presentation, the lack of music, or the depiction of Lain's degrading mental health. Listening to the therapy sessions also taught me to love Lain in a more empathetic and human way…

if you didn't know already you can play it in web form here:

I thought the game was interesting, and also more inline with the short stories and manga like the nightmare of fabrication.
I also liked how it went in depth on the way Touko went mad, i think it added interesting perspectives to how lain's actions affected her friends in the anime

It really is sad. Used to be one of my favorite sites. Checked it every day (even though it didn't get pots every day.) It's hard to get visit now that more than half the posts are spammy shitposting. I only check in now occasionally in the foolish hope things could return, but I don't see that happening.
