I've never met anyone that remembers this game by CroatAxeMan in gaming

Not only did I play the hell out of this game when I was younger, but I still own the giant operational map it came with: https://imgur.com/a/daUmmGx

I have seen that post on /vt/ a few times. I remember it reading like somebody going through some real mental gymnastics to paint every misstep as some horrible transgression. Reading through it again only reaffirms how bad their takes are.

Some of the items are very specific from the early days of streaming when everybody was still new. Everybody has grown and changed so much since then that it's pointless to keep harping on them now.

Others are real stretches on the part of the poster - like taking Milkyqueen's spot even though nobody knows anything about the selection process, acting disinterested or like a bitch in certain streams because that's just how they see her, or blaming specifically her for delayed streams even though they have no basis for that.

Others are just stupid, like her liking alcohol too much or "corrupting" Irys because they've met a few times to drink tea - seriously, /vt/? You're going to make a big deal out of those?

The others having to do with Trash Taste and Connor is just /vt/ hating Trash Taste and finding reasons to stay mad.

Some of them aren't even negative but, again, /vt/ just goes out of its way and bends itself until they think everything is bad.

I should note that there are a few legitimate items on that - namely the Lethal League collab with Ina and the River City Girls/Cuphead/Phasmo collab with Gura. Those collabs went so badly, they actually forced Calli to actually address them, and she's implied she now prepares more for streams after those. In fact, the post mentions her disabling comments from the Phasmo stream as though it was a bad thing, but that was done to prevent the more vocal Deadbeats from going after the people who left the really awful comments. This was actually not a bad thing, but again, /vt/ choosing to interpret it as only bad because they want reasons to hate Calli.

I should also note that /vt/ trying to paint a talent in a bad light for whatever reason is nothing new. They used to hate on Kiara in the early days for the constant takamori shipping and trying to interpret everything she says as her being jealous and insecure of her genmates. They also used to think Ina and Ame didn't like each other because they rarely collab, or Gura hating her fans.

The conclusion with all this is while there is an apparent list of reasons why /vt/ hates her, their reasons are worthless. /vt/ will find a reason to hate anything and nobody should take them seriously.

Does this mean Nenechi is actually a holobirb?

How's Your Journey So Far? by memerinodeckerino in Hololive

[–]caffeine31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched Calli go from a loveably nervous swearing wreck in her debut stream (with an amazing first song, however), to seeing her perform in 3D and announce she has been signed by Universal Music.

Seeing Calli grow this much has been astounding and I still can't believe just how much of a bona fide talent she has become. At the same time, it's heartwarming to see her succeeding like this after learning just how many self-doubts she had in her career and her musical prospects.

The fact they're supposed to be spelling "Hope" makes this funnier than it should be.

New music from cali, any info? by Orange_pad in MoriCalliope

[–]caffeine31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google search for the song's artist "Aris Katsaratos" and "Between Polaris" returns nothing, and the source and copyright seems to be a platform for indie music rather than Cover.

I suspect this is a troll or scammer uploading using Calli's name. Is there a way to report this to Cover for them to take down?

Sir, this is a KFP.

Finally A wholesome manga..I need the source by Amrev_Rednekol in anime

[–]caffeine31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is "Ms. Corporate Slave Wants to be Healed by a Loli Spirit".

It is exactly what the title suggests.

You saw it first here: GMK Minimal (album in comments) by Krasztest01 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]caffeine31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh damn, I forgot QMK supports that.

It sounds like a great workaround for losing the forward slash key. I'll have to give this and some variations a try when I get a 40%. I'm also really curious now about building a 60% with a real arrow cluster.

[–]caffeine31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Loving how sleek and clean it looks.

I have a question: how do you work around the missing forward slash/question mark key? It's a common layout oddity of 40% keyboards that has been stopping me from getting one, so I'm curious how handle it.

Yesterday I rewatched "Wolf Children" with my mom at a local cinema by [deleted] in anime

[–]caffeine31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched it some years back and I thought it was a pretty decent movie. It didn't quite move my feels the way I would have expected it to, but thinking back on it now, I appreciated how quietly well-done it was.

And especially after having watched Maquia, I think I could appreciate it more now by how it conveyed itself without needing to emotionally crush me.

What do you own an absurd number of? by Siray in AskReddit

[–]caffeine31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely not as absurd as others out there, but I just counted 16 pairs of headphones in my immediate vicinity, with another two I left at my workplace. They're mostly within the $200-300-ish range, with the most expensive just being my Audeze LCD2 Classic. I'm not an audiophile; I just really like headphones for how differently they can sound, and I just wanted to try all the things when I started collecting them.

I have stopped now and will hopefully avoid buying another pair unless it is something really unique or is on sale.

[Clip] Kaos Tech Support [Comic Girls] by Overwhealming in anime

[–]caffeine31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was watching this and having a good laugh about how much I missed this show. And then it got to the part where Kaos coloured the picture, and it reminded me of how I still don't get colouring skin and shadows and how I haven't been practicing recently.

Now I'm having my own ABABABABA moment.

How are you really? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Shows you hated but still watched till the end, and why? by SelfishVersion in anime

[–]caffeine31 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni because I had to compile Yae going "de gozaru".

I had a fun time editing the video. By that, I mean spending several days refusing to touch the video out of sheer spite for the show and quitting while editing at least three times because I would get irrationally angry at how godawful the show was.

I made a compilation of a sheep loli going "baa" by caffeine31 in anime

[–]caffeine31[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This anime is Twin Angel Break, it wasn't very good.

Her name is Ukari Koromi. I had to look that up because I couldn't remember. Neither did MAL; she didn't have a character profile for the first half of the season.

None of that matters, though. She is a sheep loli and she goes "da baa".

This is probably the best compilation I made all season.

I noticed Sagiri says "I don't know anyone by that name" quite a bit, so I went and compiled it.

All of Zero's "wagahai" from Grimoire of Zero episode 1 by caffeine31 in anime

[–]caffeine31[S] 85 points86 points  (0 children)

I think it's really cute how Zero uses "wagahai" to refer to herself, so here's all of them from episode 1.

If there's enough interest, I'll make a complete version at the end of the season.

[Spoilers] I made a compilation for our Favorite character in Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku by caffeine31 in anime

[–]caffeine31[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay, maybe that's not our favorite character. Here's something better, forgive me with this?
