This has been in the works for a while. I predicted she would be next 2 months ago when she started doing a ton of collabs. I did not expect Mumei, I wasn't watching her to hear about her health issues though.

Gura had stopped regularly streaming for years at this point. I don't know what the straw that broke the camel's back was, but it was clear this was going to happen sooner or later.

I'll miss her. She sounded optimistic during Fauna's graduation call in so I'm assuming she does want to continue streaming afterwards.

They got the names and emails of all the jannies and mods. This has been a long time coming.

Yeah, I do leatherwork as a hobby and the stuff you get from stores or Amazon is very cheap. They will put a small thin piece of leather over fabric or filler, if they use real leather at all. To get something actually quality you need to go to small handmade shops, or buy on somewhere like Etsy with a custom order.

For Lord of the Rings my favourite ones are narrated by Rob Inglis.

Yep, they basically made it illegal to manufacture things in the US at any reasonable cost. The US is very much not free, as this video helps illustrate. Under the guise of "health and safety" they swept the rug from under everybody's feet.

Despite the fact that they like to hide behind the title of "democracy" he is 100% a dictator. They have tried to oust him multiple times but he keeps going back.

I am fairly certain that after he is gone israel will either collapse from infighting, or go on a total warpath in the middle east to the point that the US will not support their fall.

For the history of the US the majority of the government's revenue was from tariffs until about 1920. That's when they started to bring over income tax. So the choice generally seems to be you tax your own citizens by raising the price of things from outside, or you outright just take money from them.

Yeah Akiko Shikata makes great music. I love the stuff she did for Umineko too.

Yes, they want to be known as good artists and feel important rather than for the sake of good art. For somebody who just wanted more good art, then they would welcome more tools for the sake of creativity and fast prototyping.

It's the same reason they always demand recognition like having people credit them and being upset about having their art they posted for free online being "stolen" and posted elsewhere, because they aren't getting attention from it.

I can only imagine when the actual press is taken back and they're forced to write things like this into their little hugboxes like bluesky.

It's a cop out, because it does clear things but there's no reason that it has to respawn all the enemies. All they need is a check for each camp that if you clear it, then they do not get respawned.

No archive of the tweet since I believe he privated his account. Here is a backup of the image.

Yeah being forced to use all your weapons does work since they always have more available. I do wish it took a bit longer for them to break though.

The blood moon always annoyed me though. It felt like there was no point clearing enemy camps if they just keep coming back.

Summer wars is great. I feel like it's a bit too similar to Digimon our war game though.

I love the open world exploration on the last two, but at some point it does trivialize the combat. You can climb up and fly over basically everything.

I do think it needs more traditional combat focused dungeons with spacial puzzles. For Zelda Echoes of Wisdom it had some of that, and I enjoyed the forest dungeon in that game the most. I wish all of them were more like that one in terms of complexity.

They say that Japan is 10 years behind the west when it comes to trends, and that definitely applies here. Same sex marriage was legalized in the US on June 26, 2015.

Many in Japan have taken the propaganda and don't see the danger in eroding the very definition of marriage (a man and a wife joined for the sake of family).

Japan currently has the lowest rate of births out of wedlock, but at this rate with the influx of foreigners they are on the death spiral too.

Kamiya is just starting work with Clovers and doing so with Capcom to make that Okami sequel. Capcom are some of the most globohomo poisoned of JP devs so if he even wanted to speak out about blacks and gays being shoved into games he would probably get reprimanded for drumming up controversy.

It's because they can't accept the natural order of things that they wish they had control over everything, and when they realize that is impossible lash out and end up in a death spiral wanting to take everything out with them. That is the classic sin of "pride" which is so apt that they champion it.

This inspired me to look back into good old Jonathan McIntosh. He has a patreon for over $10k per month. And his Twitter receives single digit engagement. He also has only uploaded 2 videos to youtube within the last year. If that doesn't smell like money laundering then I don't know what does.

Yeah one of my biggest eye opening moments was thinking "Well if they're lying about Trump this much, think about how much they're lying about somebody like Hitler" and I decided to read Mein Kampf with an open mind.

The parts where he complains about journalists and describes how propaganda works are probably my favourite, but I didn't read all of it. It gets bogged down quite a bit by the current day German politics, which is about what you would expect.

I would post an archive, but none of those sites are working for me today.

The leaked stats show that NYU would accept asians with an average 1485 SAT score, whites with 1428, hispanics with 1355, and blacks with 1289.

This link has the raw leaked stats.

They were known for possessing women and speaking through their mouths, being the enemy of Buddhism, abducting kids and priests, and subverting the royalty. If there isn't a more exact description I don't know what there is.

Japan has some of the highest rates of birth within wedlock. Japan has roughly the same total fertility as countries like Italy and Spain. Yet you never hear about that being a problem, probably because they already have been forced to import the 3rd world to "solve" that problem.

Another extension I do suggest checking out is DeArrow. You have to pay about $1 but it lets people change the title and thumbnail to have much less clickbait. Sponsorblock is also necessary. And on mobile you can use Youtube ReVanced.
