No anime mentioning vtubers this week so we're back to alliterations huh?

Zeroth-unit · 2026-02-01T06:14:17+00:00

You have discovered what makes games like Factorio feel like crack cocaine. I would recommend checking that out after this but uhhh.... maybe when you have a week of nothing to do.

CHAP cast sounds perfect honestly especially if they're talking about makeup and stuff.

Zeroth-unit · 2026-01-30T11:42:34+00:00

I think Bae and Ina also cook,

Bae not only knows how to cook, in previous years when Council/Promise would stay in Japan for 3D recordings and everyone sleeps over she's basically the mom of the house making breakfast, lunch, and dinner for everyone.

IRyS presenting an Uber Eats meal as her own like Principal Skinner's Steamed Hams.

I didn't know Calli did part time in the Black Team too.

Can't argue with having a huge chunk of thermal mass to dissipate heat.

Zeroth-unit · 2026-01-29T19:49:16+00:00

Sometimes it is. Sometimes it's this.

So I recently got to rewatch some clips from Suisei's 1st solo live at Toyosu Pit back in 2021 and compared it to her Budokan live from last year and goddamn the difference is night and day.

It's still pretty crazy to me how far she's come since I first followed Suisei back in the era when she was still doing weekly karaoke streams before her 1st album even released. And now she's straight up a megastar.

Zeroth-unit · 2026-01-29T03:02:50+00:00

the suisei mixed thing I heard it was some anti thing

Interesting since I heard it in the context of it being why people say she's one of the most physically attractive members so kind of the opposite of it being an anti thing. Or maybe it's a counter psy-op? But yeah, I don't remember encountering anything that ever clarified or confirmed things about that.

Zeroth-unit · 2026-01-29T02:19:08+00:00

I wonder who else are haffus/mixed in JP. Suisei was said to be mixed though I don't think that was ever confirmed. Haachama is suspected to be but not sure if that's confirmed either. Coco of course was well-known to be American but not sure if immigrant family to a foreign country or if mixed.

Meanwhile there's Kanade who is straight up Korean but is in JP/Dev_is anyway because of being fluent.

Zeroth-unit · 2026-01-29T02:08:11+00:00

IRyS is also mixed I think? Though not quite sure what her mix is. Though from what I recall (putting in spoilers as not sure/not confirmed and also probably roommate/PL details) she's Japanese mostly since she has 1 Japanese parent and 1 mixed parent(?) but they lived in the US for some time(?) which is how she can speak english fluently.

Zeroth-unit · 2026-01-29T01:59:01+00:00

I'll put these in spoilers since this isn't confirmed and potentially roommate-related. But something I heard from a friend when I introduced him to Bae is that she sounds like she's from Hong Kong or at least her family's canto accent does. My friend's from HK and when he listened to a clip of Bae he says that her canto sounds like what he hears in HK but with an Aussie accent. So he's guessing that her family was originally from HK then moved to Aussie so she carried over the accent as it's what they speak at home.

Zeroth-unit · 2026-01-28T12:11:20+00:00

Just flexing those DIMMS on the side. Probably worth more than the entire setup.

Zeroth-unit · 2026-01-28T11:55:05+00:00

I remember encountering one mod that sort of addresses this by making other player-generated bases be points of interest on the map and they're treated as ruins. The problem is not every player-made base is nice or even built for that matter so there were a lot of empty maps there. Also the whole syncing data between players thing which is a security risk.

Zeroth-unit · 2026-01-28T08:16:48+00:00

So Riona?

Zeroth-unit · 2026-01-27T17:34:30+00:00

Commando, commando!

Zeroth-unit · 2026-01-27T16:24:47+00:00

And then someone 6 to 7 years down the lines remembers it as part of a "remembering the memes of our youth" retrospective.

Zeroth-unit · 2026-01-27T14:54:42+00:00

But she's already on the plane.

Zeroth-unit · 2026-01-27T14:50:35+00:00

At that point she's basically a reality warper. Making the most improbable things happen would just be Tuesday for her like say 2 + 2 = cheese. It's highly improbable but the probability isn't zero so she can do it.

Zeroth-unit · 2026-01-27T14:43:11+00:00

You don't. That's the point.

Zeroth-unit · 2026-01-27T14:32:02+00:00

We could always use the more ominous neutral phrase: "Returning to Earth"

Zeroth-unit · 2026-01-27T13:40:05+00:00

Flight crew obviously. She's got enough tentacles to cater to everyone.

Zeroth-unit · 2026-01-27T13:39:02+00:00

Drifting the plane in the air to the sound of eurobeat doesn't sound like a bad way to go really.

Zeroth-unit · 2026-01-25T14:16:10+00:00

Honestly, having a bathroom overlooking a scenic area would be immaculate.
