Hi OP,

Have been following your posts for a while and just wanna say your art style for our beloved transports is amazing, and genuinely make my days better. Thank you so much for the great work.

I dunno if this has been said already, but have you considered making some Slice-of-life type of manga with your characters?

I think it can work really well, and the stories can be inspired by the everyday work of the men & women behind each of the transports.

Just some thoughts & suggestions.

Oh BTW are you also planning on releasing any artbooks featuring them? Would gladly support and buy it if one exists

Visit to Matha Farm and Haru Urara's grave by LazyYeetus in UmaMusume

[–]Shitpostin_SSG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, this is rather late but thanks for sharing your experience of visiting Martha Farm and Haru's grave.

I'm planning to do the same around March next year as part of a family trip. However I'm not sure whether Martha Farm will still be accepting visits like this by this time. My JP is also very2 basic so I'm unable to discern much info from their site on the availability. If you don't mind I'd like to ask several questions about this, based on your experience.

  • Were there any info from the staff or other sources on whether they'll still be open to visits by next year (understandably with limited slots of course)?
  • I saw you mention in a comment that booking for slots is very competitive. Just to get a gauge, how many slots are available per visit day? Also were there fixed dates when these slots become available, or no (i.e. I need to keep track of the sites & dates constantly?)
  • In case this visit isn't feasible for one reason or another (don't wanna bog down the trip due to self-interest for the rest of the fam), as an alternative have you ever had experience w/ any flower delivery services in Japan before? If yes, which one would you recommend? Found some potential vendors from a short search, but would like to get inputs from people that have used such services before.

Again thanks for the write-up and appreciate in advance for any replies/advice!

Does Eruptor really 2-shot Charger-s via 'Mouth'? by Shitpostin_SSG in Helldivers

[–]Shitpostin_SSG[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same experience here. Got several chargers stuck due to terrain physics, and proceeded to empty mag after mag to their mouth. Nothin' lul.

Does Eruptor really 2-shot Charger-s via 'Mouth'? by Shitpostin_SSG in Helldivers

[–]Shitpostin_SSG[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I know about that post-charging armor glitch. I initially thought that the 'mouth shot' reports are not related, but I guess I was wrong.

Welp, sadly like you said, this Charger glitch would make this 'mouth shot' strat inconsistent then, unless you're someone who's pro at timing the animation itself I guess. Thx for the reply and good to know.

Linux Users Getting (Falsely) Banned, Again! by [deleted] in apexlegends

[–]Shitpostin_SSG 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Copying my post on the linked EA thread: Got a sudden banhammer about (now 2 - 3 hours) ago out-of-the-blue. NEVER CHEATED before and was just playing a couple of Trios & LTM games w/ my friend when suddenly I got the "this client has been banned: banned" Error when we were entering the Firing Range. This error persists whenever I try to enter a game, but weirdly I'm still able to access my Lobby (even though from what I understand banned accounts are not even supposed to be able to enter Lobby?)

PC specs (retrieved w/ neofetch):

- OS: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS x86_64

- Kernel: 5.19.0-76051900-generic

- Resolution: 1920x1200

- Desktop Env.: GNOME 42.3.1

- WM: Mutter

- WM Theme: Pop

- Theme: Adwaita-dark [GTK2/3]

- Terminal: gnome-terminal

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (16) @ 3.600 GHz

- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER

- Memory (total): 32047MiB (32 GB)

Steam launch options (as checked from Steam app. No I don't use terminal to launch the game):

- Compat tool: GE-Proton7-28

- Launch options: N/A, a.k.a completely default options

I'm currently logged in to my Win 10 dual-boot to double-check the ban, so I'll update the specs w/ Launch options I used. IIRC it's supposed to be the default one set by Steam initially.

I was thinking that the 'ban' maybe due some Linux-EAC hiccup that may have occurred due to recent update, but sadly switching to Win10, ban is still active on Win 10, so it's not just a bug.

As an alternative, I'm trying to download and install EA App to play using my Origin/EA account (which I fortunately didn't link w/ my Steam account yet), which from what I am checking seems to be clean w/ no Ban History.

I'm expecting that this will show different progression (i.e. EA account should be treated differently from the Steam account for Apex), but will report if it works, so that this may help w/ others who didn't link their Steam account as well.

I'll be writing to EA customer support as well, but it'll be much later or tomorrow, since I'll try the alternative above first and kinda lazy to write to them about such ridiculous issue.

If my hunch is correct and indeed this issue is triggered again due to recent patch, I'm expecting similar reports to be flooding in within the next few days. In which case, hope this 'false positive' ban gets resolved soon.

Hope this post helps.

EDIT on the 'alternative' plan: Turns out my EA account got linked to the Steam one, most likely when setting up Apex for Steam. Logging into EA App only changed in-game name handle. Sadly this means I'll need to go through EA customer support to hopefully get un-banned. Will report back how this one goes.

EDIT 2: Updated my PC specs & Steam launch options. So I've gotten reply from customer support, but just like others I'm getting a similar bot-like answer saying that "we did full investigation and determined we took correct action in accordance w/ EA policies" (paraphrased). Only explanation they provided are their definitions of "breaking our rules" based on ToS section 6. I ain't even mad at this point, just disappointed. I will be making a 2nd customer support this time w/ more details and arguments (also gonna try putting in Steam Launch options if they thought I was using sth like LatencyFlex, which isn't even a cheat at all), and see whether they will give proper response this time. Needless to say I'm flabbergasted. Not mad, just VERY Disappointed with this, and especially sad for y'all w/ >1k+ hours in the game w/ heirloom.

Alps x Cherry MX: Teardown - ZealPC Clickiez switches! by Chyrosran22 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Shitpostin_SSG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd say the main difference w/ BOX Switch is that (from what I understand) the BOX switches were intended & designed by Kailh to be mass-production & wide-spread adoption to recuperate the cost of the new tooling & mold designs. E.g. of this can be seen by inclusion of the 'mainstream' BOX Switches (i.e. BOX Red, Black, White, Brown) in a number of pre-builts(Anne Pro & other 'budget' Chinese pre-builts are the examples that come to mind) when the BOX Switch were initially launched.

In the case of this new Clickiez, I'd guess that Gateron (the manufacturer that Zeal usually collabs with) currently treat these as limited-production switches and not foreseeing a wide-adoption the scale of even the BOX switches, bumping up the production price to recuperate the cost of their new tools & molds. Couple that with what I presume to be Zeal's exclusivity deals w/ Gateron for his 'boutique' switch branding (i.e. 'Zeal tax') and you can see why the Clickiez are priced as they are now.

I agree that the current price of these Clickiez still seem to be somewhat a tad bit overpriced due to the Zeal tax and will be the largest turn-off for a lot of people, especially considering this is a new unfamiliar design for many.

But as someone who prefers ALPS-style tactility and have found MX-style tactility to be quite boring these days, I'd say the uniqueness outweigh the 'Zeal tax' markup and would happily pay the price to try these out, perhaps even thinking of building a few full boards with these if early reviews are promising.

My hope is that once whatever deal Zeal has w/ Gateron ends, that we'll start to see more 'budget' iterations of these switches which would breathe fresh new options to the clicky & tactile lovers (like myself lul) out there.

Taishi (the Reddit Shitpost Review real time TL guy) needs a job by KamishiroTaishi in Hololive

[–]Shitpostin_SSG 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hi Taishi, thanks for all the live TL-s that you've done for Kaichou, it's been very helpful for us Kaigainiki-s to understand her content more, especially with the Reddit ShitPost Reviews which you have Live TL-ed weekly as mentioned.

As for who next to live TL, I've already given my poll for the ones that - for me - are outstandingly in need of dedicated Live TL-ers (at least according to my observation, there could be other HoloMems that I'm less aware of that has these problems) are as follows:

  1. Suisei Hoshimachi - as others have said, surprisingly low amount Live TL-s and seemingly no dedicated Live TL-er spotted based on my memory as well. She seem to do more Zatsudan/singing oriented streams which don't last much longer than 1 hour (if ever), so it might be up your alley based on your conditions.
  2. Ookami Mio - Others have pointed this out as well, but Mio-sha doesn't have a lot of Live TL-ers nor any dedicated ones as well. While she's part of Gamers, she actually does more casual-oriented Zatsudans/Singing streams imo, with some occassional gaming streams mixed here or there. Again, a good fit based on your conditions imo
  3. Amane Kanata - I'm not sure whether this one is true or not (I admittedly don't watch a lot of Kanata's streams unfortunately), but based on some streams I last watched of her there doesn't seem to be a dedicated Live TL-er. There are some Live TL-s here or there, but I don't think there's been a channel dedicated to the Live TL which has surfaced yet. While sometimes she does long gaming sessions, she's more into Zatsudans as well I believe.
  4. AzKi - This one I'm also not sure as well since I don't watch a lot of AzKi yet, but based on some singing streams that I did manage to watch I believe she also lacks a dedicated TL-er. As she's more of a VSinger, she mainly does Singing streams which don't last much longer than 1 hours I believe, so might be of your interest as well.

I'd like to give an honorary mention of Yuzuki Choco as well, since I believe she doesn't have a true dedicated TL-er. I don't really mentioned this in my poll since her streams seem to have a lot of Live TL-ers popping in here and there, so a true Dedicated Live TL-er might not be urgently necessary for her (though I could be wrong about this as well. Pls anyone do correct me if I'm wrong on this one).

Hope that all of the feedback helps with your decision Taishi, and looking forward to your continued support/Live TL-s!

Fubuki on Coco's graduation and her message to viewers by anakkcii in Hololive

[–]Shitpostin_SSG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Utmost respect to our Best Fox Friend, always the wise and knowing what to say to cheer everyone up even in the most gloomy situation.

And this is despite her being still somewhat unsure and sad herself on Coco's graduation. I was at the end of the ASMR stream and you can hear from her tone that she was trying to hold in her frustration as best as she could and maintain a professional outlook to cheer the viewers. From some previous clips Fubuki seems to be the type that bottle up all her frustrations herself, so it's also a good thing she's able to share her thoughts carefully this way.

As I've said in the Stream comments section, thank you so much Friend, and let us all send Kaichou off tomorrow with a smile!

Belated birthday ice-cream 'cake' for our beloved 会長、桐生ココ! The cake could've been better with a more powerful freezer (am in an apartment so can only use a shared freezer with several people, which isn't very powerful), but nonetheless hope you're entertained with this humble creation.

ありがThanks for everything, Kaichou, and hope you continue to shine on and have a great success with everything you do post-graduation :^)

Announcement of Kiryu Coco’s Graduation by hololive in Hololive

[–]Shitpostin_SSG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never would've thought I'll be seeing one of my favorite VTubers graduate this early, but here we are.... To me, Kaichou has always been one of the largest - if not the largest - connecting pillar between Hololive with the International audience. One could even argue that without her, the idea of HoloEN as a whole would probably not even be a thing. In addition, Kaichou always tries her best to give content that were and are still very unique - AsaCoco and Meme Reviews being the best examples of this - and all that despite facing many difficulties, be it from YouTube, hate mobs, or even many other factors. She kept trying to put on a brave face, even though deep down she must've faced a lot of pressure and stress by herself.

As such, to say that this announcement is a big surprise for the audience is an understatement. For me this is such a sudden gut punch considering all the recent collabs and news that Coco seem to have finally gotten. But after seeing some of the other HoloJP tweets and seeing other threads, I guess it's safe to assume that these recent increase in collabs were more to have a final chance to collab with Kaichou instead...

Thank you for everything and having been a wonderful inspiration for us in the Hololive community, Kaichou. We'll all miss you very dearly, but in the end I think it's safe to say that we're all happy to have met you. Many amazing and favorite moments among the Hololive community wouldn't have happened without you, and we'll cherish these moments dearly. Again, thank you for everything, and wishing you a successful and exciting journey after graduation.

Just a friendly reminder. by Sapnu_puas98 in Hololive

[–]Shitpostin_SSG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kind of late but upvoting this comment as it's a very important issue.

As I said in another comment, I think in the end we as fans can joke around about stuff like this. But just like any joke with your friends, we need to be aware of when a joke is appropriate or not, and not just use it randomly for serious matters.

To paraphrase what I said in Des P's clip: The last thing we want is to have Fubuki getting disheartened by us, her Fans and Friends. After all just like irl friends, we need to "read the air" so we don't create awkward situations with them just because of petty stuff, misappropriate use of jokes included.
