Worked so many hours so many days in a row my body couldn't take it and now I'm at home sick, so hey one week vacation!

You deserve it. :)

As I stand here, in this very ring, with 40º of fever (Celsius, for the unitedstatesians in the audience) and muscle pain, I can't help but feel like pagespages comment is both unintentionally extremely rude and ringing clear with poetic justice.

Sorry, I meant you deserve the rest, not the sickness. My apologies.

No worries, I got it, but the unintended vagueness of the statement made your comment funny in context.

Lol. It's all good. :)

In memoriam Kazuhisa's site. I tried to contact the pagemaster to no avail. I have a feeling I know why he brought it down.

See ya later, alligator! idk if you saw this, but it looks like I was probably the last person who was in touch with Kazuhisa https://lhfm.neocities.org/filezz/kazuhisa.png

That's an interesting observation about stopping half way in something you're obsessed with. Often at a certain point (and I can be doing well) I can feel overwhelmed, and this halts my progress.

Original prophecies do not steal. I'm not oblivious to the tragic humor in publishing this page right after the palantír page. It's a taste of things to come in the "Social Media" section.

I haven't really watched vtubers since I watched Kizuna AI back when she was blowing up in 2017, so I'm not in the know and can't exactly disagree with your prophecy, but I think you're underestimating the relatively high insularity of the Japanese sphere and the very long tail of otaku weirdness that keeps it so.

So basically you're describing a specific case of US-centered cultural homogenization... Sad story.

@lhfm good point, but passion can only go so far. If artificial restrictions are set, entire niches are bound to disappear. The so-called insularity, the "Galapagos effect", is something that from what I gather is being phased out. Or at least I don't see its praises as often as back in the 00s. At the very least, I see fertile ground for an east-west schism (and many entities, on both sides, willing to sow). _IMO_.

@saint-images pretty much, and what a story, Mark! It's bound to happen to japanese niche media, as it happened everywhere else in the world. But I have hope that it can be somewhat contained. _IMO_.
