When I was in Beijing in August I also had that crazy feeling of being busy all day and sleeping like 4 or 5 hours a night (on the floor), but somehow being filled with energy and able to do all sorts of writing. then as soon as i got home the magic was gone!

yeah i tend to be like that while travelling too, i don't understand the "lay around the pool/beach all day" crowd and it's frustrating when travel companions cannot match my energy

here's a key: https://suboptimalism.neocities.org/secret/key.jpg | removal is included because it takes 1/10th the effort to yank them down (especially from rooflines), lights are ours so we take them with us

thought that sand brick thing was an apartment complex. there are no results online of "el cajon donjon" ヽ(´ー`)ノ -- one product that'd be interesting to offer would be programmable lights which they can modify through website/app, but programmable lights prob are expensive

the reason it doesn't come up is because i made up that term last year... it's some kind of government building notable for being by far the largest in the whole valley. there are these new programmable "govee" permanent house lights but we hate putting them up because the adhesive they come with sucks

I laughed so much at the end of your 'learning japanese' guide. It was truly unexpected lol.

don't read too much into it... i just unearthed that term from the first page of my notebook, where the deepest section (the oldest) is at the top. one day i hope to have a legitimate Z entry, perhaps by finally writing my novella titled "zugzwang"

I organize library events for a living, so I feel the pain of so much of this and at the same time am grateful I've never had to use an event to turn a profit.

Extremely entertaining writing about something totally inconsequential to my life, as per usual. I'm glad I waste my time on your website.

The contents of your site and the places it links to have kept me occupied for two days and it just keeps giving.

"https://suboptimalism.neocities.org/writings/character" i kind of know what you mean, but it's a bit harsh to say "vtubers are to fake simulate dating an anime girl" as someone who is kind of a vtuber themself. it is LITERALLY just using an animated avatar of yourself and streaming. again, i think you're trying to just talk about hololive and nijisanji, but i still think it's a bit rude :(
suboptimalism 8 months ago

yeah, the social dynamics of streaming are vastly different at scale and i was mainly talking about the biggest vtubers, though i think it is fair to generalize to them because that's where the vast majority of viewer-hours are spent.

suboptimalism 8 months ago

i think the main problem is that the same word (streaming/vtubing) is used to refer to what might as well be two completely different means of social interaction, depending on the audience size

suboptimalism 8 months ago

a stream with a very small audience is similar to hanging out on the couch with the fellas while one person plays a video game on the tv, a stream with a very large audience is more like attending a concert or sports game
