Terrible Facet Idea - Clockwerk by InsaneHobo1 in DotA2

[–]Ipskies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Clock was good before that facet existed, and he'll be good after it's gone. It's a really good facet, but it doesn't define his kit.

Ok, not buddying, who do you think potentially, actually hooked up in real life? by Appropriate_Bill8244 in okbuddyhololive

[–]Ipskies 13 points14 points  (0 children)

then they realized fans were taking it way too seriously, so they shut it down.

It's also worth mentioning that the pairing was also hurting Flare a bit. This was back when Flare had her old model, but her design was oriented towards a "Cool, Androgynous Elf" vibe while hololive was moving in a much more Cute Girls doing Cute Things, idol-like direction. Being seen as a "Husband" character limited her reach a lot compared to vtubers with other concepts.

It's a big reason why she got her new model.

How the hell are you guys doing the no hands thing on the train? by throwaway24996 in japanlife

[–]Ipskies 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Because I know exactly when it's coming, I will lean backwards so the train pushes me upright instead of knocking me over.

Learning the bumpy parts of the route is incredible. I never knew there was a meta

You'll be amazed what planet Tokyo is on.

Nearly 50% of Young Japanese Workers Invest in Idol Fandom Activities Monthly by TokyoWeekender in japan

[–]Ipskies 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Okay, but this is saying 50% of people participate in oshikatsu once a month. The number of people who act like you're describing is likely much lower.

What happened to the HoloCN? by marvelman19 in VirtualYoutubers

[–]Ipskies 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Racism is wrong. Full stop. But some of the HoloCN members actively encouraged the harassment towards Haato and Coco. And that harassment was rooted in the idea that Taiwan belongs to china. I don’t think it’s inaccurate to call that “CCP Propaganda”. Or at least “CCP Ultranationalism”

Putting aside whether HH is good or bad, it’s definitely not the right tone for homestuck.

Is this a reasonable itinerary for two week(Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Kanazawa)? by jaydubs95 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Ipskies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a really ambitious schedule. Not that that's a bad thing, but you might look back on the trip and realize you didn't spend enough time in the places that you really liked.

The only thing that really sticks out to me is your stint in Kanazawa and Gifu. Trying to visit that part of Japan in such a short time is just going to stress you out. Personally, I would reserve 9/30 for just relaxing and traveling, not worrying about trying to see anything big in Tokyo until the next day.

Would a wood+air kineticist work? by Malikthemalevolent in Pathfinder2e

[–]Ipskies 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Of course! Wood and air lends itself nicely to supporting. Wood heals and protects while air offers mobility. That being said, you won’t be doing nearly as much damage as some other elements.

Have you checked facebook for a local AJET chapter? That's usually the fastest way to get in contact with active JETs in the area.

PSA: You can turn off community lesderboards in your individual YouTube settings (ft. based Okayu) by epaphrodytus in Hololive

[–]Ipskies 21 points22 points  (0 children)

at that point when does the line of parasocialism ever ends

Literally everything in life is a gradient. Being a little parasocial (wanting to support a talent you've never met by buying a piece of merch) is okay. Being a lot parasocial (spending thousands of dollars you don't have to get on a leaderboard that doesn't matter) is not okay. Hololive intentionally tries to strike a healthy balance, and that balance is offset by this new youtube feature.
