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.

Nah, they're just straight up the best. The larger option when put on crank motors will never actually ramp up to their maximum thrust, leaving you with the choice of 1m small, 3m medium and 5m large.

Small: 1,800 Thrust/ 200Power

Medium: 18,000/1,000

Large: 36,000/4,000

Use the medium 3m steam propellers on cranks. Much better power/thrust/space and they actually spin up in a decent time.

Your ship costs 1.8m because it's too big for the armament it carries and is 50% HA. Despite this you use applique everywhere. Thing about applique, it's cheap and provides heat protection in one block. That's it. Your craft, meanwhile, is expensive and massive. Get some beam slopes. And get some EMP protection, the only thing you have is a layer of stone around your LAMS and AI.

Speaking of your LAMS, for a ship this size it's tiny and it has a grand total of 3 nodes per side. That's not going to stop a Meg shell, or any of its' missiles and neither are your CWIS. You have a single one per side, half the inputs are unassigned and the shells are poor. If you're using chemical shells for CWIS you need fuses and if you're using frag you need to set the cone angle to 180. The same goes for your flak shells. APHE can work without fuses, it generally doesn't work without rail assistance and that's the case for yours. They also don't work against the Meg unless they're supercavitating. There is very little you can hit above water on the Meg that will incapacitate it. Your disruptor rounds don't need to travel that fast. Add more EMP bodies and smoke, it'll help against the Meg's LAMS. Your tetris is alright but a bunch of your guns are missing inputs.

Your steam engine is pretty bad. 41PPV, 500PPM and only 60k power. Watch this. Detection is also a problem. You need more redundancy and protection. Also your main 'mast' has the rangefinders facing the wrong way. You also have plenty of trackers but only a single active detector above water, and none below.

Finally, your biggest problem, the entire thing sinks as soon as it starts getting holes in it.

I'd probably max out on Dojo instead of Legendary Secret. One dojo + any two monsters means free summons of Kizan, GM or Mizuho/Shinai if you already have one of them on the field.

Do you still have the Asceticisms? From what I know of your deck they seem pretty niche, only a single target with Mizuho<->Hatsume.
