I too want to run my phone off the collective horniness of anonymous degenerates
you ever have a friend who you're always really paient and understanding with, but they make no effort to reciprocate that and would sooner throw a tantrum than try to consider anyone else's perspective or try to compromise? i kinda knew that about them to begin with so i can't hold it against them too much but it's still surprising when it happens sucks
Anno
I've had the good fortune of not having any friends who are always like that, but have definitely hit moments like it with friends at times But I've also been that friend at times so I can't really hold it against them
月
i'm sure we're all like that at times, and there's probably some middle ground where it becomse reasonable and understandable in itself though one of my friends who has pretty severe autism though just pushed it to an extreme and can be incredibly selfish and not even realize it, and any attempt to communicate with them that other people have needs too and the extent to which others are compromising to satisfy them, they pretty much close their ears and start blaming everyone else even though it wasn't anything about blame in the first place just simple communication becomes an incredible barrier and they'll escalate non-issues into huge issues.
im pretty understanding about it all but it hurts to see, i dunno i helped them for a long time, happily so, and they grew somewhat dependent on me helping them with that but simultaneously didn't appreciate it at all and would become pretty irrationally angry if i stopped compromising/sacrificing myself a very one-sided thing and it's unfortunate how it turned out. idk why im talking about it, just on my mind i guess
Anno
Yeah it's a situation where no one ends up happy or feeling resolved Just sucks all around Sorry you have to go through it Moon

eh it's okay i put myself in these situations i cant be too bitter
月
she was mad that i didn't reach out and initiate conversation with her for like four months but i didn't block her or anything, you know she could have messaged me at any time and reached out herself but she never did so why do i gotta be the only one who puts in the effort and looks after everyone else when nobody reaches out to check on me i have down times too you know, where im the one who needs something
just silly dumb games i hate playing those kinds of social games where people can't earnestly put in any effort you can't be lazy and low-effort and expect people to think you are seriously invested it just looks like you're avoidant obviously, so people will treat you like you are out of respect of the awkward boundaries you set dumb dumb games

Squats are pretty aight though I'm still kinda miffed I had to get a job right when I finally got my hands on Ring Fit Adventure Because not only do I just not really have the time to play it anymore, Having a job that has me on my feet a lot and lifting and pushing around heavy objects all shift kinda defeats the purpose of having it. But I want to do exercise for the sake of GAMING
I want nothing more than to have the ability to not have to work somewhere other than the comfort of my home for eight hours a day I'd happily take shorter shifts if I could survive off it/was permitted to
Mahou Shoujo Marsh-chan
>>923954 Yeah man i love squats i'm just RUSTY and because of that stiff and sore.
I feel you on the gaming thing though. Ring fit looks real fun. Kind of wish I had one. Somemetimes i would play phone games on the cardio machine while stepping uphill.
Anno
Back when I had access to a cardio bike I tried playing my Switch while doing a session on it But I couldn't keep my hands stable enough for it to really work It wasn't even like I was playing a game with particularly demanding controls, I was just playing Disgaea Even that's kind of hard to play when the screen is shifting all about though. Maybe if I'd been able to park the bike facing a screen and had a normal controller in hand it wouldn't've been a problem.

The man at fault for the Toronto Van Attack a few years back has been found guilty on all charges of murder laid against him because of the attack I take little joy in seeing a man that needed, and still needs, drastic psychiatric help be incarcerated into the prison system, but more than anything, I'm particularly disgusted by the defense team Who tried to argue he was not culpable in any of the murder charges because of his autism diagnosis, and therefore was unable to properly comprehend the moral consequences of his actions In the end obviously it was an extremely weak argument with zero precedence in the Canadian
Anno
legal system, but this was an extremely publicized case And arguing that autism can be a legally sound defense for committing horrendous crimes is .. It's the kind of thing that's going to make a lot of people form the wrong ideas about autism So it's just, man, just an awful choice of defense all around.

he movies /// his movies before the movie biz slowed down seem to carry that tone Swiss Army Man was a weird one too still they were entertaining enough for me just probably something you wouldn't show to your irl friends and family
Anno
Radcliffe is totally "I made all the money I'll ever need off of Harry Potter but I still enjoy acting so I'm just gonna choose whatever projects seem fun to me" Which really, is a baller way to live your life. People should be free to pursue what they want to do for fun.

I think Grint still does some odd stuff here and there But as far as I know he didn't have a bad time while doing Harry Potter, he just didn't stick with the career like Radcliffe did Which is probably fine, he was mostly a kid during the series and kids are best off getting to explore a bunch of things while deciding what it is in life they want to pursue. For people like Radcliffe, he obviously was happy with acting, but with Grint it might be that he's more interested in other things.

lol This guy's criticism totally sold me on the show >If you've watched K-ON, Gochiusa, Kiniro Mosaic or any of the hundreds upon hundreds of cute slice-of-life anime out there, you've already watched Bakuon.
People like these shows for a reason, as evidenced by the massive amount of BluRays and merchandise they tend to sell. I'm fine with them, and presumably anybody who would give something like Bakuon the light of day is fine with them, too. But when the only thing distinguishing them from one another is what gimmick they can throw in (in this case, motorcycles), there begins to be a problem.
It is especially apparent that the motorcycle aspect of Bakuon is more background to the girls being cute and sexy and stupid and whatever. It will likely please biking fans with its references to and jokes about specific motorcycles and brands, but it never goes into detail and is largely superficial.

>I have watched every season of anime since 2008. If you're wondering why I seem cynical or hard to please, I believe there is your answer
self-styled anime expert
Anno
I really hate the "If you've seen series A, B, and C, you've seen series X" line of thinking It's such a reductive way of analysing fiction that serves no purpose besides existing as a vehicle for the writer to carry their snarky disdain for a piece of work. It's also entirely presumptive that the reader's observation of a series will be identical to the writer's and that there's no room for personal engagement with a series. They're not making an argument for their observation that the show is the same as others listed, it's them telling the reader that the reader should think the show is like others listed. Which is a particularly vain line of thinking that I don't like to fuck with.

On the old 4chan dot org slash Ay It's how you show how big your penis is
Anno
>>924329 Track numbers? Hell no But I've run thought experiments of how many shows I've watched It helps that I've had /moe/ anime time to give me a consistent number to work with. Like if we're watching five shows a night five nights a week, that's twenty-five shows a season, therefore a hundred shows a year In the past we were even doing some seasons, upwards of twenty-eight shows a season. With /moe/ alone I've probably watched around, if not over seven-hundred anime series Now some of those are continuations or similarly long-running shows that take up several show units, but still, the point stands And honestly it's kind of a terrifying prospect when I start to think too much about it. So I kinda dont.

There's no way I'm archiving all the shows I've watched I don't even -want- to archive all the shows I've watched My rule of thumb is pretty generous, I'll save a show if I think there's even a remote chance I'll watch it or an episode from it again in the future.

man cruise ships used to have a lot more activities on them like that instead of just stuff nowadays you are lucky if they even have the coin machines or even an arcade
wonder why the ship industries dislike arcades.
I know that arcades can't profit herei n finland, not even sustain themselves, but in places like amusement parks and cruise ships, people will play the shit out of them
Guess it is just more profitable to make contracts with slot machine companies and have fuckton of those than say pinpall or air hockey or those shooter games

kinda ironic there was a quite a good timespanw here I only black flagged anime but nowadays I pretty much sail the seas, as nothing I want to watch is on any platform and I have access to amazon prime, netflix and disney+ and at one time had viaplay and hbo added to the list too
>>924519 It's lose-lose for them If they put all their stuff on Netflix or whatever service is popular, you end up with a monopoly And then the IP owners don't really have control of how their product reaches viewers and have to kotow to whatever demands the streaming service they provide through has But if they provide their own streaming service, they lose viewers that can't/won't pay for extra services than what they want/can afford. I think when they count the math, it's still more economic for them to provide their own streaming service, since people like you are honestly still the considerable minority. And ultimately that's probably the best option for them, since it avoids the monopoly problem just putting everything on a Netflix entails.

Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
you'd lose the revenue anyway because other companies would claim it and they would get the monetization the actual money from an unarchived stream (and any stream) is superchats
the other day Kanatan beat Sans after trying for three days and when she did it, she got $21,000 (USD) in superchats
Mahou Shoujo Marsh-chan
Well then maybe she has sung it and it's just not on record.
S C
I wonder how big the tubers' cut is compared to hololive's
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Big enough that Lamy was able to afford a KU100 (an $8000 microphone) like a month after her debut
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
A lot of the Hololive members are doing things like buying their families houses and things like that
Not an intentional one, and neither was the "bigger" part either
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
This is the superchat ranking for 2020. Notice how high Calliope Mori and Gura are despite debuting only halfway through the year, compared to some of these others who were debuted well before that. Coco made 150,000,000 in superchats despite having to take hiatuses.
For the record, that is 1,384,338.60 USD
S C
Yeah I mean Korone is like, almost OG
Isn't Coco the dragon? Isn't she like, new? I only even began hearing about her around the time EN began
Mahou Shoujo Marsh-chan
Some of it might be that there are enough Japanese ones that it gets defused around where as there is only 4 for the EN so it all gets concentrated
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
>>924730 Coco is gen4, and she debuted in December 2019. So while relatively new, she's quite old for a vtuber at this point.
anyway who gives a shit about all this Behind the Scenes stuff not me it BREAKS the IMMERSION
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
All of those numbers come from before anyone had 1mil+ subscribers, too. Although maybe Gura did, I forget when she got it. Gura is close to having more subs than Kizuna Ai, who is pretty much the first vtuber.
S C
In fairness, Gura has a distinct advantage in being the shitposter queen of old I'd be surprised if a lot of her tracton isn't like, being her

Girl has 2 golden youtube plaques
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Kuzuha and Kanae on that list are also worthy of note because they're both men. Both of them have the advantage of being signed on with Nijisanji, but they're still men.
Sio is also noteworthy because she's the only independent vtuber up there.
S C
Oh, that is pretty noteworthy, yeah Surprising to see even one man up there
S C
Oh, that's not just hololive, that's vtubers at large
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Right. Blue is Hololive, tan is Nijisanji. Grey is independent.
HololiveEN is also blue on there but is labeled separately because technically it's a different branch of Cover, just like Holostars is. None of the Holostars, who are all male vtubers, made it onto that ranking, though.
S C
Well, it's to be expected really The power of simp flows much more powerfully in one direction than the other
S C
I wonder if the characters are outright owned by the talent agency or not though I assume they have contracts, but I wonder if they could break off when that goes out if they wanna Not that there's a reason to
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
The characters are owned by the companies, yeah. When Hololive China had to close, that much became obvious.
Although I don't know if it would be difficult for them to find work after being a successful vtuber for a while, it would probably be ridiculously easy to get with another company and do seiyuu work.
S C
Really, starting up as a different character wouldn't be a problem for any of them with the fame they have now Collabs do a lot of the heavy lifting, but you can collab between independents without issue, so
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Right, but independents have the problem of not being part of a network. Popular artists, like Pochi, can easily jump in because they have a network. So it's hard for independents to get into collabs usually.
S C
I really meant more like, if something changes with hololive and how they do business, just the ENs could easily jump ship, dump some money into new designs, and reasonably quickly pull their viewers back in in large part As long as conditions with the company remain good, there's no real reason to
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
I feel like they would probably not, though. For all intents and purposes, they're all living as the character because those characters are just manifestations of their authentic selves. So losing that character probably constitutes a pretty big identity crisis for vtubers who lose that. Psychologically speaking, they probably wouldn't be able to move on. I think that's a big danger of vtubing.
S C
I mean, the company can't possibly own more than the designs
S C
I guess it would take a psychological toll though, yeah
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Yeah. I think it'd be nice to put myself in that situation so I can see how much of your identity becomes predicated on the character you're playing. It sounds super interesting. Like, do you start referring to yourself as that character internally? Do your character speech mannerisms bleed into everyday life? It's super interesting.
Like how undercover cops merge with their persona and usually end up super brain fucked.
S C
I would think you do I mean I certainly have with previous online identities, cause like, most of my social life has been online
And with vtubers, it's like, hours and hours every day with scores of people on the other end
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Yeah! I bet it's crazy. I want to be the therapist for a bunch of vtubers.
S C
I dunno if the character bleeds into you more than you bleed into it though
Anno
vtubers arent people
FormerRei@mobile
>>924752 Speaking of undercover cops merging with their persona, have you seen/read Scanner Darkly?
>>924794 Thanks, I was hanging out with them when it got brought up and sststarted crying like an hour later. Ive been able to keep it out of my head buy I might sleep all day tomorrow because of it. *but I might
Anno
it's a baby bird yeah >>924801 yeah it's been sitting here for ages
Anno
Oh it's a bird's behind I was staring at that trying to figure out why it looked so much like a dinosaur fossil
FormerRei@mobile
>>924799 IIs that the same bird? It looks smaller m *smaller. Is it tame?
Anno
it's definitely smaller than what it appears to look like in that photo
whoakun
thats what they always say :(
Anno
it's a grower not a show her
FormerRei@mobileMarsh shitposting on the go via TelephoneAnno
>>924806 Oh yeah I did my little experiment If you have all the items to equip a rank seven character with the three items in her rank eight slots, it should actually not decrease overall power rating, rather increase it by an admittedly marginal amount The girl I upgraded went from ~6730 to 6760, but, hey, still not an overal decrease. You'd have to be able to get all the items equipped in one go though.
next season looks like it's gonna be abberantly good More slime Nagatoro New Trigger mecha show Reboot of shaman king, out of nowhere?
FormerRei@mobile
Can't sleep
S C
There sure is a whole lot of isekai these days though
FormerRei@mobile
Yeah I'm sick of it Like 14 years ago I remember thinking "it would be nice to have more isekai anime" Little did I know how horrible it would be.
FormerRei@mobile
I'm also sick of anime that takes place in MMOs, whether or not the characters are trapped in them.
!C0.PerkELE
>>924830 there are pretty much 3 good mmo ones log horizon eso? was it, one with the trap and the old man cooking one and only one of those has been adapted so far ofc
!C0.PerkELE
and well hack of course, but it is so old I didn't bother adding it
S C
yeah .hack is old af I'm not really sure whether to classify overlord as "mmo isekai" though It kinda exists in a gray area, because like Ainz absolutely is an MMO character, but the world doesn't seem to be the same as the MMO
S C
I don't actually dislike isekai in general though, there's just a few of them that are really not my thing at all, and others are... cringe, to put it mildly
!C0.PerkELE
>>924833 it isn't it was a fantasy world that has had several player(s) from the game isekai into it as their characters, who then have changed it. Including the magic system from the game (how does that work, dunno), which replaced the old magic in the world, with just dragons pretty much knowing it anymore. so yeah, it has the mmo elements taken with them, but the world isn't a game.
!C0.PerkELE
you btw raed the what if spinoff book? what if momonga isekaid alone and into an earlier era
S C
I haven't even gotten as far as that spoiler lol
whoakun
sorry
!C0.PerkELE
well is not really stuff that is in the books outright, but what you can deduce
>>924845 steve's got some sauce he's a cryptid, no one really knows how good yet
!C0.PerkELE
he can mne some blocks, rite how does that really work in the game?

wow I can't believe you'd post LEWD IMAGERY ON MY CHRISTIAN IMAGEBOOOOOOOOOOOARD MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
S C
This new Luck Be A Landlord update has absolutely broken the game I'm watching NL play it right now and he's removed everything except flowers and flower multipliers, so every 4 turns if he puts a flower in a corner he rakes in 20 million EZ
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
sounds pogged and covered in pollen
S C
It really is absurdly strong There's no other build that comes anywhere close to it I think
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
praise the sun
S C
As long as he keeps this going for long enough, he's gonna have a single spin pay out like uh 1.9073486e+13 >>924863 Not really There's the main game, that's got a fixed endpoint, but after that it's endless, and the rent just goes up incrementally, but it's only in the thousands and stuff A single million spin will basically set you up long enough you're gonna alt+f4 before you ever get close to losing
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
does the game end at any fixed point?
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
i see i guess you could consider it a speedrun to a big amount it's an unfinished game too i guess
S C
Really he's just doing it because everyone in chat is excited to see the big numbers
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
not sure how he's gonna be able to play after this
S C
He's just gonna do other builds in the future And besides, updates come in every 2 weeks
