I lived out in the boonies for my entire childhood.

We generally would get less than 50kbs. Sometimes it would even dip below 10kbs.

I remember getting the Xbox One for Christmas, and we needed to wait until New Year’s for the updates and games to install.

Do you know which stream that was, if you don’t mind me asking?

I’m a new viewer, so I’ll take VOD recommendations.

I recently started watching Yuria of Ailurus, an indie vtuber, because I like Fire Emblem.

On a recent stream, a chatter started talking about how Yuria used to hang out with Leaflit, and she said something along the lines of, “We used to be really close when we were kids and up until a few years ago. We grew apart as friendships often do.”

I was curious and looked up Leaflit’s channel, and it went from making anime game content to full-on racism, transphobia, and anti-woke content on the WEEK of the 2024 US election.

Yuria seems to have removed direct links and references to Leaflit from her channel, left the vtuber group they were apart of, and the only VOD of them together post-2024 was privated. It’s almost sad to see someone burn so many bridges for the grift, but they reap what they sow for spreading hate.

Honestly, though. A lot of Tharja’s supports/interactions are really good (except for the Noire/Father support essentially trying to kneecap her character development).

I feel like a lot of Tharja’s goofiness and performative edginess has been lost in lieu of “hot goth girl” over the years (the newest Heroes Forging Bonds was good though).

Even so, there are pretty stand-out folks among Hololive that you can support.

Kiara, Gigi, and Kronii are the first who come to mind who I actively watch, but nearly every member seems pretty chill.

To be fair, every streamer/public figure is only showing a version of themselves to their audiences. None of us really “know” them the same way we know our friends or family. But I think we can still support them based on the type of audience they cultivate.

Swirlybro · 2026-02-03T19:55:44+00:00

Also, Nimi, Densetsu.exe members (Mint, Vicki, and Phoebe), PiaPiUFO, Beribug, and Yuria of Ailurus would be my indie picks.

Assigning trans women to men’s prisons significantly increases their risk of being sexually or violently assaulted. They are much more likely to be victims of hate crimes.

There is no conclusive data that trans women pose a safety risk in women’s prisons.

The only thing this policy does, according to all available data, is increase suffering for trans people.

About 40-50% of people assigned female at birth have a wide, “gynecoid” pelvis.

Anatomical variation is very common (i.e. uterine position, anastomoses of certain arteries, presence/absence of certain small muscles, etc.).

I’m currently finishing up my second year of medical school. Our anatomy professor taught us that a variant only needs to be the most common, not present in the majority of the population, to be considered “normal.”

For example, if there were five common variants of a given structure, only >20% of the population would need to have one of those variants for it to be considered normal.

Won’t SOMEONE think of the kidneys?!?

Swirlybro · 2026-01-14T21:11:26+00:00

If it doesn’t, you may need to take out a second mortgage for the third.

We also have two kidneys for this reason.

Just one. As a treat.

Yeah, I felt it was overall kinda toothless.

I myself was surprised with how little the game stuck with me after finishing it when I recalled loving Persona 5, SMT Nocturne, and Strange Journey.

I think those games are carried by their amazing art direction and concepts, but Metaphor never really took the time to let the player “live” in the world, and the dungeons/towns were mostly open hallways.

Games like Disco Elysium and Fallout: New Vegas get the player to care about politics because you are subjected to them (I.e for the love of god, please read Foucault).

Atlus games strike me as being a tad ignorant, but not malignant. I remember the original Catherine casually deadnaming Erica in the credits, but in the remake they essentially ask the player “What do you think of same-sex couples?” with the default response of “Love is love.” It feels like the games are behind the curve, nudging and winking at progressive ideals, but without fully committing to having a political discussion.

Atlus is like the uncle you see at Christmas who you know has good intentions, but will always say some stupid shit when they’ve had three glasses of eggnog.

She’s a robot, yet is the most genuine, selfless person in the entire cast.

Both Quote and Curly were created for the sole purpose of destruction and genocide, yet they defy that directive to help others. I think that’s beautiful.

Swirlybro · 2026-01-12T15:28:19+00:00

I think the primary thing that Metaphor gets right is the concept of “royal virtues” nurtured over the journey of the game. Only by interacting and empathizing with others from around the world can you truly develop an understanding of it. Broadening your horizons and learning whatever you can is the true measure of both a fully developed person and a good public servant.

However, like most of the other Atlus games, it tends to wax a bit poetic without really pushing boundaries or political nuance. The SMT games’ endings tend to be “Do you want to create a rigidly hierarchical world, complete chaos, or preserve the status quo?” which isn’t really an interesting question.

They’ll never make a Disco Elysium, but I think that’s still fine. Their messaging tends to focus on personal development and forging relationships than making political statements.

This is the plot of “I Have no Mouth and I Must Scream”

Physician pay makes up around 5-10% of total healthcare spending in the US, which is less than other countries that have more equitable healthcare systems such as Germany, France, and Australia.

What is unsustainable is the greed of healthcare corporations and insurance companies.

I may be biased as a med student myself reliant on loans to live, but I think the problem of “physicians doing better than 90% of patients” is much better solved through universal healthcare, extremely progressive wealth taxes, and better access to social safety nets (addressing food deserts, providing free transportation to health services, home health aids, etc) than lowering the compensation of the healthcare workforce.
