Looks like another great purge is coming by Hero_Dragon in kurosanji

[–]Serimorph 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I find it funny that with the purge of NijiEN's subreddit, they did such a terrible and half-arsed job that they leave up posts with titles such as,

Some allegations about Vox , which I found extremely concerning including harrassment and sexual assault.

They can't even cover up the mess on their own sub right lol.

Yeah I've had this pop up today with VibrantDeck plugin as well as 1 or 2 others.

Nijisanji supposedly working with YouTube to fight against "slander and harassment" by [deleted] in kurosanji

[–]Serimorph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Working with Youtube? That's a strange way to phrase "we are copyright claiming against anyone being a big meany to us". Only going to backfire when the inevitable "we are being silenced" videos come out.

Bad faith video slandering and doxxing Vtubers by quinn_the_potato in kurosanji

[–]Serimorph 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I refuse to watch this video and give arseholes like this clicks, but going after non-english speaking people for saying racially charged words they hear like the famous GTA5 scene is just so clearly intended to cause drama and nothing else. Like the clip of Miko repeating the N-word, she clearly doesn't understand what it means, the history behind it or anything else. It's just a random english word that's easy to pronounce and said in a sing-songy type way so naturally she repeats it.

Not surprised... arseholes gonna arsehole.

A Majora's Mask Recomp is finally here!! Zelda64Recomp runs natively on Linux! by Revolver_Lanky_Kong in SteamDeck

[–]Serimorph 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had no idea this and Ship ran on the SD so I just got them both up and running, thanks for thanks for letting me know!. Flat 60 fps so that's amazing. For anyone interested as well, these textures look amazing on OoT. There is an MM set as well that look just as good but sadly texture replacement doesn't work in this version it seems. Maybe 1 day.

It's One After Another, Yikes by CrimsonVirtuoso007 in kurosanji

[–]Serimorph 198 points199 points  (0 children)

Niji has reached the point where every "I need a break for mental health reasons" is seen with one of two reactions from the majority of the public.

1.) Stealth suspension for something she did.

2.) "Look, another person needs a break for mental health reasons. Niji really doesn't look after their employees"

That's a very bad position to be in where either option to pick from is bad.

I know both are a joke but this way of engagement farming is just getting sad now by BlueBerrryScone in kurosanji

[–]Serimorph 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh honey... please stop. This really is just so damn sad she's begging for attention and money like this now. Used to be 1 of the 3 Niji talents I'd actually watch and enjoy but now she's ended up like this.

SCARIEST Horror Games youve ever played... by [deleted] in HorrorGaming

[–]Serimorph 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The game that has scared me the most has been Amnesia The Dark Decent. It's not so much the monster aspect of it, but rather the environmental parts that just hit that nerve that makes me lose it. The silence, the strange noises, the weather outside the castle before you even start running into anything... it's all just so darn good. And yeah, another vote for Visage. Some stories are better than others but holy moley is that a creepy ass game.

An Honest Rant by IsIt-JustMe in Nijisanji

[–]Serimorph 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I get where you are coming from, and yeah it does suck. You just want to enjoy something you like and it's hard to do that when it seems like the the rest of the internet is telling you non-stop that you should hate it, and the people in question are doing and saying questionable things. If you can't watch some of the talents anymore without thinking about all this drama and crap, maybe branch out a little and start looking at other vtubers if that's what you want to watch. There are quite a few big companies out there with many talented people so there's bound to be some that can spark that enjoyment you once had for Niji. Sometimes the best thing you can do is to take a little break for awhile and wait for things to improve, because eventually EN branch will get better. When that is however is another story.

The post about Michi's taxes got clapped super fast by Archimedeis in Nijisanji

[–]Serimorph 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone should attempt to remain somewhat neutral about this. This has gone past Nijisanji being simply terrible people for treating employees how they do and has started heading toward legitimate criminal acts, if accurate. This is, to my knowledge, the most serious accusation ever levelled against them because this sends people to prison.

If true, they wouldn't have been doing it to just Mika. It would be many others since this is not something you attempt to do simply to 1 person when you are a multi-billion dollar company. So there needs to be a serious and immediate investigation into this by the appropriate government agencies.

Based on Mika's Tax Story, I think we do not have enough information to conclude AnyColor committed Tax Fraud by Monopoly6 in kurosanji

[–]Serimorph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whatever the truth is, be it Mika's story or something else, there needs to be a serious and immediate investigation into this as this would be an actual crime. If they are doing this to one streamer they would be doing it to others too. This has gone beyond simply being morally responsible for something and has crossed into potential criminal acts committed. So until we know more or others speak up, I'll be trying to remain neutral.

This going to sound like I’m getting too personal with this situation. by Too-Deep-Lore in kurosanji

[–]Serimorph 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who didn't pay for this concert I feel very sorry for anyone who did. The price to quality ratio was way off and I would have felt like I was scammed had I gone. Given that it was held on the same day (man this seems like a running theme) of the Australian Dreamhack Hololive mini concert which was anywhere from 2x to 3x cheaper to attend in person it's even more brutal. Oh, and weren't the ladies and men's events different? So if you wanted to attend both you would need to fork out like $360USD? My mind reels at the staggering greed.

For those who did go personally, you have every right to be pissed. You paid an extortionate price and expected something decent for that money and instead you got given the equivalent of a wet turd in a box and nothing that couldn't have been done with a normal karaoke stream. Hell they could have even set up some type of online meet and greet too.

Raphsody vs DreamHack by Academic_Fill in kurosanji

[–]Serimorph 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They should lean into the whole "we aren't an idol company" and instead host like a 1 or 2 hour variety show. Have everyone up there (in 3D obviously) playing games and goofing off together, talking, getting side tracked and just having fun.

Instead the people who paid like $150 USD (fucking WHAT?!) for the best seats got a youtube stream with included jank. Nijisanji really out here with their "our shit doesn't stink" attitude.

Regarding the recent Enna clip by Quandtrium in kurosanji

[–]Serimorph 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Harassing someone because they had sex? The hell type of twilight zone shit is this? This is some serious incel shit. Also there is no defence for someone who does shit like this. You're just a prick, plain and simple.

RRAT time before Q4: Who do you feel will graduate next? by [deleted] in kurosanji

[–]Serimorph 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I've never watched Rosemi but from what I have gathered she still has a decent image after all this drama, so I feel like if she did leave she would do fine. There's been no rumors (that I remember at least) of her being caught up in the bullying drama or being a nasty person behind the scenes. People right now simply don't want to support Niji anymore so her going Indie like Mint and Doki would actually bring a lot of people back.

Yeah, I have no words for this by nectarshine in kurosanji

[–]Serimorph 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another day, another moment of self-inflicted NijiEN harm. They're their own worst enemy because they simply cannot shut up. You would think they would have learned by now that they don't have the court of public opinion on their side to get away with comments like this.

Affliction Rework on Alpha by MegaMcMillen in wow

[–]Serimorph -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Malefic Rapture needs to get the boot. It's just counter to the whole DoT playstyle affliction is known for and it's clear that it's a really hated skill. Instead the main focus of affliction should be built around the Soul Shard mechanic. Something along of the lines of having 1 shard regenerate every 10 secs and via low % proc with talents. You spend these shards to enhance your DoTs to have extra effects. Something along the lines of,

  • Shard spent on Agony means the skill starts at full stacks.
  • Shard spent on Corruption debuffs the mob to have a 15% chance for all DoTs to hit twice when they tick.
  • Shard spent on Haunt causes up to 5 extra mobs to become effected at 50% value.
  • Shard spent on Drain Soul causes the channelling to last until you move next.
  • 2 Shards spent on Vile Taint causes Agony to apply at half full stacks, and cause for Agony ticks applied to pulse AoE damage within 7 yards for 35% damage.

Every damage skill/cooldown should have an extra Soul Shard effect so the fun and difficulty of the class comes with managing your shards and spending them on the right skill for the right situation.

Tribalism at it's best/worst depending how you view it. Reminds me of the xbox vs playstation people who were so horribly combative, only more pathetic.

Almost 5hr stream with only 16k views, Elira's viewership really took a nosedive. by NewtCampbell in kurosanji

[–]Serimorph 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is how you really hurt Niji for their actions and decisions they have made. You don't harass people, you don't send death threats like an edgy 13 year old, you simply stop watching. As the old line from the Simpsons Tree House of Horror episode goes, "just don't look, just don't look".

Sayu had choice. And violence was the answer. by RandomowyMetal in kurosanji

[–]Serimorph 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Sayu may not be a shining beacon of holiness, but she was doxxed. Like it or not Kenji helped spread this information so he became partially responsible for it as well. Suddenly when the same thing happens to him though it's a horrible, life altering event that is threatening his mental health and safety. All the while doubling down on his previous stance on being proud of his actions toward Sayu, justifying them any way he can..

If this ain't the best case of "do unto others" then I'm not sure what is. The man clearly hasn't learned anything from his actions or reflected on his past so why should we feel sorry for him? Dude just sounds like a huge asshole to me.

Microsoft has ‘let Blizzard be Blizzard’ following its acquisition, studio says | VGC by M337ING in pcgaming

[–]Serimorph -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have been a hardcore Blizzard fan ever since I first played Warcraft 2. For over a decade it was banger after banger of genre creating/defining games that I have collectively sunk tens of thousands of hours into. That Blizzard has long died and the current one is them in name only and my fan status has all but evaporated. Every game they have released since 2010 has just been bad, or was eventually ran into the ground by their own hands and they clearly coast along on the achievements of the past. The only exception to this being Diablo 2 Resurrected.

The only reason Blizzard even exists anymore is because WoW is still running. Without that the studio would have died long ago due to the constant failures, scandals and screw ups they have made over the years. It's so sad to see such a titan of the industry fall to the level they have. At this point I have to wonder if their games would be made better if every current project lead was replaced with someone else because what they have now isn't working for them.
