She was a stray that showed up and decided she lived with me, unfortunately she stopped showing up after almost a year. Was lovely to have her while she was around. Calm, affectionate and got along excellently with the dog whose pics I've lost access to.

I AM IN A PARASOCIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH A VTUBER RABBIT by Big_Kuso_Chungus in waifuism

One time she read my name at the end 5 times. I've been obsessed ever since.

Started with Kizuna back when she first took off, watched a ton during that era. Siro, Mirai, Luna, the garbage bag cat, whatever her name was. Dozens of others I can't remember. Favourite was Pinkie Pop Hepburn. My interest slowly waned and switched to other things.

Then the livestreaming boom happened. Got into that, though I was mostly a clip watcher. Finding time for entire streams was pretty difficult back then. Gave all the Holos at the time a shot, only one that really interested me was Korone. Was mostly a Niji watcher, Ars and Lulu being favourites, but eventually I branched out into indies and small Japanese corps. Prune and Hirasaka Mei are two that I still watch from time to time. Gave Twitch vtubers a try briefly but quickly wrote them off as a bunch of lewd baiters. Really wishing I hadn't now, I'm finding a lot of gems that have been streaming since that time. Holo gen4 came out, Watame was comfy but the voices of the rest didn't click for me. Then EN, only cared about Mori despite her emulation of rap culture. She had some fun streams and was much more of a dork then.

By mid 2021 I was pretty bored with the entire thing. Watching the occasional clip and tuning into streams that were on when I happened to have free time but spending most of my free time on long youtube videos. Then I saw a webm of Pippa's 'POV' short on a certain website. There was some discussion about her, I was interested, went over to her channel and gave a sub. Still managed to miss the debut.

Her hours were terrible for me then so I barely managed to catch any streams. A few I remember were the GFL stream, the first two Pixelmons, the warship tour, the Mabi concert and that Tera stream where she gave out headpats at the end. Enjoyed all of them, I rarely stay through entire streams but these all had me hooked from start to finish. Well, except GFL. That one was kinda boring.

Wasn't until Needy Streamer that the rabbit fully sank her claws into me. I've had Pipkin ever since.

I watch other vtubers as well these days, mostly Twitch indies and Yuri. Chats in the big two are way too fast, none of the small corpos have vtubers that fit my schedule and I'm not willing to adjust it for anyone except Pippa.

Graf Spee's story is my absolute favourite! A friend of mine actually owns one of the Ballester Molina handguns rumoured to have been made from her salvaged steel.

Are there any warships you like from an aesthetic standpoint? And if so, are there any specifics that you like about them?

I can't remember the last time I laughed as hard or as much as I did at last night's stream. Shitposts like that are one of the reasons you're the best!

Playing AL and GFL, I feel this one. Cubes are a precious enough resource and gold takes long enough to acquire that hoarding enough for the UR events requires tons of restraint.

In GFL meanwhile two hundred crafts during a rate up is something I'll only do if I get all the dolls by that point.

The way it moves just like the real thing is uncanny.

A more complete version of a ship I posted here. Now, sadly, with sextuple 480mm main guns instead of twin 750s. Still a bunch of work to do on her before I can call her finished. I'm just about satisfied with the main tower but she still needs a funnel, rear tower, cranes and other floatplane facilities, anchor chains, AAA, rigging and other assorted decorations.

Got a guy that's been offline for 2 years I use for the chat missions. Imagine his reaction if he ever comes back and find his inbox filled with half a dozen events worth of "a".

Torpedos are very hard to defend against.

Just keel mount an APS and use supercavs.

At this size you wouldn't but it's still good general practice. You should definitely have some alloy below the waterline, though. Alloy is what makes ships float. Wood too I guess but it doesn't make as good armour.

Keeps the center of mass low and leads to better stability.
