You can get Teto plushies on amazon?! Naruhodo…

I just position mine so the end is how I want it, and sometimes that means the first bite is mostly bread.

do you chew on them, or what?

Maybe… Is it that weird?

I always chewed on pens in school too. Hmm.

*chuu*

Change the T to a P then an E, maybe even a Z, and then we’re in the right ballpark.

I spent enough time on the site with green text in my youth that it does not, but it’s still fun to sometimes pretend I have a shred of innocence left. (:

HUH?

He actually has a calmer one, but it’s not always around. It comes and goes.

daww I can’t help but give more headpats for cute anime girls. *patpatpat*

*patpat NEET-kun* do your best!

Factorio did it right, IMO. V2.0 as a free update to the base game, launch a paid expansion at the same time.

Wube is pretty much the only developer I have faith in to consistently do things right.

The factory gatcha pull info says there’s a 0.002% chance of pulling “Short Day Factory”, and the pity system has been globally disabled for over 10 years now.

Better luck next pull!

Pack it up boys. Just one comment, and the thread’s already over.

You’re welcome!

Yes, I think that’s generally pretty accurate. That’s why when a vtuber graduates (leaves their corporation, that is) even though they’ll have a new avatar, (usually the IP is owned the corp) they’ll often still keep most of their fans.

Sure, I could try! It’s still a bit confusing since it was mostly just entertainment for me until very recently.

It’s a combination tbh. Obviously a lot of it is acting, and you never know exactly how genuine your oshi really really is, but their personality, tastes, and sense of humour all shine through. It’d be generally pretty tough for it to be a complete facade and for them to still seem genuine.

Then again, you never know. I’ve heard there were some VTs who did a complete 180 in personality, for example. I think it’d be hard to not notice some signs, but strong feelings can severely cloud judgement, so who knows.

The character’s design and mannerisms are also pretty important, though. I think a lot of the time the VTs will want to play a character that’s kinda an idealised version of themselves. If they see themselves as cute or cool or sexy, they’ll play up those attributes.

As for knowing stuff about them, I think it also varies from VT to VT. Some are more willing to share aspects of their personal life than others. The one I fell for is quite open about her life, but I’m someone who highly values honesty and integrity, so I guess that tracks.

So I think to answer your question, personally for me it’s 70/30 them vs their character, but that’s my supposition. I imagine for others, it could vary quite a bit too.

Sorry, but that’s a secret. I’d rather not publicly out my degeneracy level, dayo ne. (Even though my oshi is actually very wholesome.)

Weirdly. I caught feels for a vtuber recently (completely unexpectedly) and now feel suddenly motivated to improve my life. It also feels like I got hit by truck with emotions that have been nonfunctional for several years.

Parasocial relationships are tough, as they can never be fully reciprocated, and dealing with that feels like it’s going to be a bit stressful. That’s also precisely why I’d avoided them and thought myself immune, but apparently not. Lol

I would be greatly entertained if valve went into payment processing and out-competed these absolute shitshows of companies.

Suddenly

As if this hasn’t been going on for decades.

My solution is to do the very minimum I can to get by and otherwise enjoy my minimalist life. Fuck consumerism with a 10ft pole. Let it rot.
