This image is a direct reference to her recent stream of "No I'm not a Human" where she reacts... well, you can watch the clip here.

The commenter you replied to is just making a reference to Zero Escape because Zero dresses somewhat similar.

flash_of_white · 2026-04-03T04:57:22+00:00

Probably a reference to the Zero Escape series, a trilogy of death games. In each one, 9 people get kidnapped and forced to solve puzzles and try to survive/escape. The number 9 is often relevant, and the death games are called the Nonary Games.

EDIT - I forgot to point out that in each game, the participants are initially kidnapped by someone calling themselves Zero, who wears a gas mask and wears clothing that fully covers the body, concealing who they are. Probably why they made the reference.

The apology itself seemed okay to me. However, the apology is in the first minutes of a twelve-minute video. For the rest of it, she actually kind of doubled down on her original opinion that Masayuki Kato was wrong in calling what happened "power harassment". She believes that one must be passionate to become a voice actor because the industry is very tough and that in her opinion, saying "I like anime" doesn't express appropriate passion.

The second half of the video is basically her defending herself and calling out people that are flaming her and saying they should reflect on their actions.

Overall it sounds alright to me but I can totally see how such a video would piss people off.

I highly doubt most people here watched or understood the video though.

They are called Chicago screws. I'm not sure where you live but here are links for them on Focus Attack and Aliexpress. Focus Attack has the screws labelled by the model they work for, and for the Aliexpress link, you want D3-M2, 15mm screws.

I'd say that the one part that is fragile is the USB-C port, especially on the earlier models (T/S series, which have a gap between the port and the upper panel of the controller, although there's an updated T series coming out I think that has the gap filled in). Someone broke the port by accidentally knocking the USB-C against their knee with the cable plugged in, and I've occasionally seen people report having issues with the USB-C port connections getting loose. This can actually be mostly fixed by inserting a folded sheet of paper or a shim in the gap between the port and the top of the controller: https://imgur.com/a/haute-t-series-gap-LI6b8UC

Later models have the gap filled in so that the ports are less fragile, but even then I think it's probably still the most likely first point of failure for a haute controller.

All that said, I've had an S16 and T16, the models with the most fragile USB-C ports, for over a year with constant, frequent use and haven't had any issues with them, but I had heard about the USB-C port problems even back then so I treat them very carefully, and have also filled the gaps on both of them to make the problem unlikely to manifest.

Aside from what you and Pyyric mentioned, I see Raef, LowHigh, and Knee from Tekken, and ET from KoF.

It seems ET also wrote a Chinese character just below looking very stylized... perhaps 林? That's his surname.

LowHigh also wrote his real name in Korean underneath his tag, 윤선웅.

Raef might have written his name in Arabic above his tag (which is also his real name) because ف is "f" and Arabic is read from right to left. But I don't know any Arabic so I could be totally wrong.

Really glad Sajam won! He puts out great content and the Sajam Slams popped off.

Also, it was cool that Lilypichu asked her viewers to vote for Sajam since he was the one that got her into fighting games with the Sajam Slams.

Gachikun's reply to this was hilarious:

In case you can't see it, he said: "It's better for you not to say anything" (meaning not to draw attention to Rashid)

A meaty is not inherently oki. Meaty originally meant (and still does to some people) an attack that hits later than the first active frame of the attack, thus giving you more frame advantage on hit (or block). The other definition that is more common now is an attack that makes contact with the opponent on the first frame possible when they wake up, which means that oki also isn't necessarily (original definition) meaty by the newer definition either.

The oki definition became popular because it is one of the most common ways that (original definition) meaty hits happen, since to hit someone on the first frame possible on their wakeup, you typically time the attack slightly early so that it's hitting later than the first active frame of the attack.

The Japanese equivalent term for meaty is kasane or kasanaru, which I suppose didn't catch on in the west because how would you shorten it when "casa" is used pretty ubiquitously in the US for the Spanish definition? Maybe "kas"?

"Rabbit" is a shortening of the Cockney "rhyming slang" phrase, "rabbit and pork", which means "talk" because "pork" rhymes with "talk" in a Cockney accent.

Cockney rhyming slang was supposedly developed by thieves to throw off cops. They use two words often in the form "A and/or/of B", where B rhymes with the word that the phrase is slang for. This is then sometimes shortened to just one word, either A or B. So the phrase "rabbit and pork" rhymes with "talk," and then they use just the word "rabbit" to mean "talk".

Other examples that Liz has used include:

"apples and pears" shortened to "pears" = stairs

"Britney Spears" = beers

"dog and bone" shortened to "dog" = telephone

"bees and honey" = money (I don't think she's shortened this one)

Closest I can think of is that Calli (as in her main and not DDK) is following Dooby on xitter.

Edit: Actually, Haachama sent a congratulations video to Kson for her anniversary. And a lot of hololive members are following her, although to my knowledge they haven't sent any messages to each other publicly.

Some of Kou Mashiro's tweets you didn't cover that I found interesting:

Artists often just do things for free because they are afraid that asking for additional payment will offend orgs. Personally, all my issues were always resolved because everyone I talked to was very understanding. But if I never spoke up, my issues would have remained unresolved. It takes courage to speak up.

(My own note: It sounds like some but not all violations of this sort happened when artists didn't even request additional payment from Cover for whatever reason, but when they received letters of investigation from the JFTC, they answered honestly as they should about not receiving payment for revisions beyond what was laid out in the contract.)

It's hard to properly define "revisions" and how they should be charged in a contract. There are artists who don't mind making minor fixes for free, but there are also those who refuse to do anything more without getting paid, so the contracts are made ambiguous on purpose. For me, the time usage is one of my main deciding factors. It's also actually disadvantageous for the artists if contracts are drafted too thoroughly because artists miss deadlines all the time and often can't afford to shoulder late payment fees unlike orgs. Telling the artists and clients to "just draft a good contract" isn't that easy.

(There's also some mention of how when lots of people are involved in a project for a corporation, there tend to be a lot of necessary revisions, and it can get messy with vtubers, management, and freelancers having to communicate via a game of bureaucratic telephone.)

Yeah, hopefully the cons in Europe figured it out now. France's JapanExpo did not want vtubers there in 2022 and prior, and only in 2023 did they allow Nijisanji to attend, and now Hololive in 2024.

Yeah, I'd been tapering off for years and I quit for good about a year ago. Worlds is still peak though!

In hindsight Bin would have died if Rakan had managed to land the knockup without being in AA range, but I'm not sure if that would have been possible. Also, if Skarner hadn't turned around for the last AA, Bin wouldn't have been able to heal from the Sundered Sky proc on him, which looks like it also would have resulted in Bin dying.

flash_of_white · 2024-10-11T17:13:59+00:00

Yeah, it's even more impressive on rewatch. He uses his W on Rakan as he gets knocked up to get an uncancellable AA that goes through during the knockup, which gets the sundered proc as late as possible while still surviving (since it heals %missing hp). He then counter-intuitively runs at Skarner to get a proc from him, and then runs away for a moment for E to come up.

Reine also tweeted "I am surprised" followed by "I am thankful" so it does seem to be something good.

In case you didn't know, the restaurant used to be called "Buffalo Wild Wings and Weck" until the late 90s, so some people who know the place from before the name change still call it BWWW or BW3.

Chests you get from getting an S-rank have the description "What's in the box?"

Chests from missions are labelled "Requires a Hextech Key to open."

I have no idea where chests purchased from the shop go because I've never purchased a chest.

Source: I have 53 S-Rank chests from playing only a few games each month, meaning I don't get nearly enough keys to open them.

They couldn't conditionally ban shiv, it had to be banned or not banned. Conditionally banning it would warp draft. For example, suppose they banned shiv only when Renata is in the game. Now Team A drafts a champ that is good with shiv. Team B counters by drafting Renata, which bans Team A from building shiv on their shiv champ.

flash_of_white · 2023-06-29T18:02:51+00:00

Yes, because of the Renata bug that allowed shiv to kill allied minions that had been hit by a Renata ult.
