What's most baffling to me is they had all the opportunity to just deal discreetly with whatever legal lawsuit is going on behind the screen, but they decided to make it public, using the talents nonetheless. It's very irresponsible.

A nifty Twitter thread summarizing what the talents say in the latest video:
https://vxtwitter.com/maegixx/status/1757213366387696016?t=4Da1SV-RUVYrLt2dQyNEFg&s=19

So there's this vtuber agency called Nijisanji, they're based in Japan (and it's still their biggest market) but they have a really successful EN (English) branch as well.

One of their talents is Selen Tatsuki. She's known for being acting in the English vtubing community, collabing both with talents in her agency and outside, and she puts a lot of the money she gets back into creative projects like her music videos for her fans.

Late last year, a big music video that she released got privated by management, apparently because there were permissions that she hadn't gotten yet. Not long after, she put out a tweet that she was in an accident and had to take a break from streaming.

On Feb 5, her contract is terminated. The company made a press release saying that she repeatedly broke company rules and that she received bullying/harrassment from staff members and other talents. This unfortunately, but predictably, led to viewers harrassing and witch hunting the other EN talents.

On Feb 6, she (through another account/persona) made her own statement and said that her 'accident' was actually her trying to off herself due to toxic culture and harrassment. But also that she doesn't want any harassment to anyone. She'll be streaming and making content using this new persona.

Then today, three of the remaining EN talents released a video trying to explain their POV, saying that Selen tended to make stuff without management's approval. And also that she made a lawsuit that has some of the talents' IRL information in it that makes them feel unsafe. And that their CEO will be making a separate statement later.

To this, Selen said that the legal document was not supposed to be shared to other parties, just between the relevvant lawyers.

Phew, that's a long one, but some other probably relevant tidbits:

1. Nijisanji (especially EN) has received criticism for their management for a long time now, with many talents graduating and/or feeling there's preferential treatment
2. Artists have come out saying that Nijisanji EN doesn't pay them for commissioned work, and Selen has to pay out of her own pockets (Selen also says that she's made basically 0 last year, as she puts back the money to fund projects)

Actually I just read the discussion and would like to swap out Wicked for Rent.

I've been thinking about this.

I've never seen it before.
I did read the manga to completion though.

Monster

Suikoden 2 is not that lengthy. A lot of the recruitable characters join just by advancing the story. It's also very good.

I really love FF IX for the world building and visual direction and writing, but its gameplay hasn't aged terribly well. If you play the remaster with built-in speed up it's probably better.

Yeah TBH I was a bit surprised they're done with DLCs for Ultimate.

Battle Royales are just Battle Royale (the manga/movie)

I hope there'll be a battle royale game that sticks closer to the source material (IIRC it was a novel first) one day.

Smash Go by Niantic

Oh right, yeah Grand Blue Versus or something like that. I didn't know they made a second one.

And apparently Granblue Relink is blowing them both out of the water. Didn't expect that!

Huh, good for them. I'm not really following the news closely since I tried GBF and wasn't a big fan. But I Googled it and it seems to not be a gacha game, which is really nice.

...is this the first gacha > non gacha game adaptation that's not due to an End of Service?

Tag.

Diana my beloved.

Well deserved.

With this and Infinite Wealth achieving the same, it's a good time to be a JRPG fan.

Maybe it's Let's Go Qwilfish and Let's Go Stantler instead.

I'd say the first major arc with universally positive reception goes from 92 to 130, so that's not too far off.

I mean, if this were true, I'm happy Wooper will get even more recognition. Truly top tier line.

Ueki

Huh, it seems I'm the first one, wonder if there'll be more.

Yeah, I do admire the craft more, but I still enjoy it too if I want something more...lowkey. I do love how it's actually using (as far as I can tell) historical Old English and not just Ye Olde English words.

Glad you found some enjoyment and curiousity in it!

Ah my first nom has fallen. Pretty much expected but it's still my favorite song from that era and genre. Really catchy.

Never played it but I read about its development.

I'm glad this remake is introducing more people to P3. I love even the vanilla version, but there are some good QoL improvements they made in P4 and P5.

They just announced a fighting video game crossover with Marvel, a la the Marvel vs. Capcom series (if you thought of Capcom, then it's MvC 4).

Who are some characters that will be in the roster? Would you play it?

Also have you played any of the other Persona games before?

I am very interested.

PLAA for me. It's just milquetoast most of the way. There were some good parts though.

Tried using Gencraft but it's not much better.

Yes, she's just drawn that way.

Nice, so happy it's finally here. And your ranking system is really thorough, reading it itself was a treat.

man I thought that was a more recent issue

Oh I'm just sharing one of my favorite quotes from Discworld.

"A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots thatd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
