Too much doom on every front. Economy, environment, and even entertainment is just filled with nasty shit. Kills the drive to have kids.

Same. The story and dialogue was a bit of a tire fire, but at least the combat was fun.

Two. Five, technically. Jagged scar across the top of my right foot when I was playing with my dog when I was younger and got cut deep by her somehow. Still visible.

Then, on my left hand, I have three scars at the base of my index/middle/ring fingernails that make it look like someone tortured me. Friend cut me being a moron with a boxcutter while he was moving, straight through gloves too.

This is why you never order from anything that uses FedEx. I had a package that was at a place about 40 minutes from my house that FedEx delayed for a week, they legit hit me with the "Why not pick it up?" when I called them.

Wish I could catch that. Definitely watching the archive later.

I should check out NiijiEn someday but I'm a bit overwhelmed with how many talents there are now and it kinda feels like I missed the boat. Where would you even start?

Don't need to watch the whole crew. Pomu pretty regularly collabs with pretty much everyone in NijiEN so she's a good bet as a gateway. Selen and Rosemi are probably the best gaming stream wise, both are hilarious too, once again they pretty regularly collab too so it's a good starting point. That's my personal recommendation if you have to toe dip in to NijiEN anyway.

I dunno, it's not like holostars is doing super well

I've heard there is a lot of general dissatisfaction with nijikr management and the number of people leaving recentlyish has me thinking that's probably true

Nijisanji in general feels more like... A group of independents under an umbrella group as opposed to an actual talent agency-ish set up like Hololive. Pomu talked about it once, and said something along the lines of Nijisanjis management being more the type that would be there to do crazy stuff with you as opposed to reign it in, unless you start going way too far.

As for NijiKR, think they more or less are getting the NijiIN treatment where they kinda toe dipped in to the market, they went harder with KR but it still has a very "side project" feel to it, which has to really suck. From the business end that is, not the streamers.

Did she say that? That's like blaring an alarm that you're in hololive.

To be fair, the algorithm blasted damn near everyone who watched her debut stream with the other channel a couple days later, so...

I kinda feel like she just needed to blow off some steam and this seemed like the perfect outlet. Don't get the impression she's unhappy, but I feel it might be... too... "curated" for her so she needed a little outlet? Mind, didn't watch the whole DemonDice stream.

Granted I figure if she does do live shows she'll probably take a break/lower schedule for a bit, but I'm sure that'll be planned in advance.

Demon Dice stream, looks like?

Now this is vtubing!

This is one hell of a stream lol

As soon as I see some sort of super with a 1/whatever I immediately tune out of chat for a bit. Only ever seen one that was legit something nice/cool.

Cover by Pomu, did great imo. Great all-around I think.

Most of meme dump sites devolve in to racist or just generally hate filled cesspools.

At the end of the day, it's not a random's chatter's place to take it upon themselves to police chat and the streamer's behavior.

If you don't like the streamer's behavior, stop watching.

You're not a mod. People trying to backseat mod are cringe.

That's one thing I never understood for streaming in general. Even under the circumstances that you have given them money, you're not their boss all of a sudden. Just stop watching if they don't interest you for whatever reason.

If you remove the R/ you're right. Political discussion is absolutely a festering toxic wasteland online.

anti crypto bros seem pretty spiteful and willfully ignorant

I will say I know only a little about crypto, but most of the crypto users I know either only think of it as a stock game or just think it prints money and know... Nothing.

I side with anti crypto, granted I don't particularly dislike crypto. I just hate that it is strangling the life out of my favorite hobby.

People actin like it's capitalism killing us like we don't and wouldn't ravenously consume natural resources anyway.

It doesn't matter what kind of system we have in place, humanity has categorically always pushed towards that scenario. Regardless of what we do we either need a new planet eventually or just accept that human civilization was doomed from the beginning.

Edit:. I have no idea what word I meant to put instead of categorically why any more but whatever, auto correct has decided.

They ignorantly think they will make good games.

They won't.
That is the rub.

I mean...

I kinda just hope they'll make games with the IPs. More than CoD and half-assed WoW expansions anyway. It's hard to make anything worse than the WC3 remaster anyway.

Blizzard hasn't done anything of worth since Legion came out and I think Activision is living off CoD alone. Maybe all the supposed talent there can do something now.

Pandemic is honestly probably nearing it's end, maybe next year though. COVID however will never be done unless we have some ridiculous breakthrough, it's just going to be Endemic and spike every holiday season.

SaGa games? Honestly... I think they'd do alright. I'd love to see a SaGa game with the kind of graphics Kojima games have, too.

Gaming pretty steadily improves as long as you don't just follow AAA titles honestly.

Hook-up culture doesn't really lend itself to stability. It's fun, but... yeah.

Great game but the random encounter rate made me want to tear my hair out.

It's the worst kind of mediocrity basically. Missed potential everywhere and nothing to make up for it.

Kinda interesting stream with two higher ups in smaller but doing alright VTuber agencies. Little peak behind the curtain to the business end.

Honestly? It would've just turned in to another "America does bad thing" meme over the years, initially seen as a tragedy, and then turned in to conspiracy theories. So... Society wise? Not much would've changed.

Nah. If a game comes out that is actually worth 70 I will, but nothing priced at that point has been to me lol.

Honestly, works better eating many considerably smaller meals a day if you've no experience with fasting. Otherwise you're probably just gonna pig out unknowingly and mess up. My source is experience and a few people trying the same thing at the same time, but I'm not a doctor.

Whatever you choose, good luck. Hope you hit your goal safely.

CV is the only RE game I couldn't really bring myself to finish, including the rail shooters. Maybe I'll give it another go.

We ARE talking about a system that was released only a bit over a year ago. This isn't something that sat in someone's garage for 7 years.

Not always a good sign though. I bought a used Wii U from GameStop about 6 months after it released and the thing would randomly eject discs for some fucking reason. The replacement died after like two weeks and I just gave up.

There's nothing on new consoles that is really worth it yet imo. Well that you can't get for PS4/XB1. Not worth paying retail for used anyway.

I've only ever heard them called by their letters, not like the "Ness" or "Sness/Snezz".

Wait, do titty streamers actually play games?

I clicked a few streams on twitch before and they were all just talking or doing weird shit, even when the channel claimed they were playing some game.

Nah that's why I said I prefer VTubers. I never got the draw to the weird just chatting streams and whatnot, especially on twitch where shit is just walls of emojis.

I love dogs, but daughters leg by a mile.

Granted my dumb ass will probably go after the dogs after that and end up getting myself and the dogs killed.

Honestly I don't even care what a steamer looks like so the VTuber thing had no effect on me. All I care about is that they play stuff I like to watch, and they're at least relatively funny personality wise. Of the two I prefer VTubers tho.

His debate style gives him the appearance of being particularly smart, but it's mostly just how he conducts himself rather his arguments holding any real value.

This is the absolute best way this can be put honestly. Kudos to you.

I would be. I've been lucky enough to be healthy most of my life.

Only hitch would be my random sudden onset ITP I had a couple years ago which stumped my docs too. Went from borderline no blood platelets to perfectly fine a day and a half later under observation, and they didn't do shit to me.
