While it kinda sucks to say, I do think I should -- in some official capacity -- say any thought of me debuting as a vtuber is getting pushed to next year.

Which sucks, but its realistic, and its better to just confront that now.

I don't know if this counts, and also its like super late after this was going around but;

I think fandoms are a kind of normalized parasocial behavior, with the same effect as person-on-person parasociality.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

I'm having a normal one in the depths of my friend group chat tonight.

This is what I do instead of... I dunno, riding a bike?

I love Japanese, and learning it, I am just being silly :3c
私も日本語が好き
I'm having one of those moments where I'm like. Annoyed by How Languages Are Taught again... And it's always the basic bitches that i come back to, the simple boys, the words or phrases that are like, fundemental. I can talk to you for hours about all the intricacies of topic particles, and comment phrases, and how inclusive topics marked by も (mo) are different from exclusive topics marked by は (wa). And I just realized a way way way way way simpler way to think about it. は (wa) is a word you put at the end of another word, to say [word] is different You can then say all the things that make it different. も (mo) is a word you put at the end of another word, to say [word] is the same You can then say all the things that make it the same. "different from what?" "same as what?" You decide that part. You figure it out. 田中さんはビールを飲んでいる Tanaka-san wa biiru o nondeiru. Tanaka-san is different (because) he is drinking beer. It means that Tanaka's drinking beer, and other people aren't. Someone else isn't drinking beer, but Tanaka is. That means I'm talking about Tanaka, and no one else. That's what an exclusive topic is. 中村さんもビールを飲んでいる Nakamura-san mo biiru o nondeiru. Nakamura-san is the same (because) he is drinking beer. It means that Nakamura is drinking beer, and someone else is too. Someone else is drinking beer, and so is Nakamura. That means I'm talking about Nakamura, and someone else. That's what an inclusive topic is. Who else am I talking about? Who else is drinking beer? Do the math idiot. The particles don't tell you, it's context. I just said Tanaka's different cause he's drinking beer, and then seperately I said Nakamura's the same cause he's drinking beer, so Nakamura and Tanaka must both be drinking beer. IF SOMEONE JUST TOLD ME. WA MEANS THINGS ARE DIFFERENT, AND MO MEANS THINGS ARE THE SAME, SO MUCH OF MY ENERGY COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED. I HAVE TO BUY SUBSCRIPTIONS AND READ GRAMMAR PAPERS TO KNOW WHAT THE FUCK A unique topic marker particle IS. THAT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME. 私にもくれた Watashi ni mo kureta "To me" is the same (because) something was given. What is it the same as? Things going to the person i'm talking to, probably. Maybe they got something, and I'm saying I got something too. Man, when you're just told, "It's an inclusive topic marker, it marks that the topic you're talking about is something that's unexpectedly included with another topic or group of topics" like. what... It just means its the same. and then you say the things that make it the same. same as what? whatever you need. 50円もあれば買われた Gojuu-en mo areba kawareta. 50 yen is the same (because) if I had it, I could buy something. What is fifty yen the same as? Well, you're buying something, so, it must be the same as every single amount of money that would let you buy the thing -- so every single number above it. That means 50 is the lowest amount necessary to buy it. Congrats, you've just emphasized how low the amount you needed to buy it was. BUT ALL OF THAT PART OF THE MEANING, IS CONTEXT. all mo said is, 50 yen is the same. And that understanding is what translates that sentence into English as "If I just had 50-yen I could've bought it." AHHHHHHHH AND THAT'S WHY IT MEANS ANYBODY OR ANYTHING AAA. も (mo) can attach to indeterminate pronouns like 誰 (dare) "who/which person" or 何 (nani) "what/what thing" to mean "any/everybody" and "any/everything". In negative sentences, the meaning somehow flips to "nobody" and "nothing"... And you learn that, and its like, HOW? that's fucking magic. Those are very different words, and I don't know how to fit "too" or "inclusive particle" into that idea. 誰も知っていることだ。 daremo shiteiru koto da. indeterminate people are the same (because) it is a thing that they know. Everyone knows that. You're saying any and every random person you could possibly think of is the same as each other. They all know the thing. So it's something "everyone" or "anyone" knows. 何もない nani mo nai. indeterminate things are the same (because) they don't exist. "There is nothing there." Every random thing you could think of is the same as every other thing you could think of, because they all don't exist. So, "nothing" exists. is this how sisyphus feels am i gonna find out a somehow even SIMPLER way to break this down in two months and i'm gonna feel like i need to learn from square one all over again.... fascinating.

Started HelloFresh today! My first timing cooking chicken and I think it turned out well!

(Please don't judge my ranchless drip. @scrimmified.bsky.social gets the ranch)
Two plates of HelloFresh's Chicken Bacon Ranch Loaded Potatoes. One plate is adorned with ranch. The other is sad and unranched.

Do I know what the fuck they're gonna do with Samus on a Bike? No. Do I even know how the heck they can blend Open World with the tight ass design of a Metroid Prime game? Doubly No.

Is it Rule of Fucking Cool? Yes.

ALSO LOOK AT THE YOSHI GAME!!! NEW YOSHI GAME LET'S GOOOOOO. The aesthetic and gameplay feel a lot more Yoshi's Story in a way I appreciate more than Wooly/Crafted World. I just wish it had a better nameee...

The Mario Wonder DLC is. Sooooo fun looking. Its NSMBDS Multiplayer for Wonder! I also can't believe the fucking Talking Flower is getting a Furby toy.

Deeply fascinated by Nintendo jumping straight to Galaxy as a concept.

Like, it feels weird we're getting Rosalina before Daisy. Can't wait for her to be voiced by Scarlett Johansson though!

An hour long direct on a Friday?

We're either getting a one-two punch of new Mario and Zelda, or they're announcing they've resurrected Satoru Iwata.

That's kinda awesome. Do that more please!
