It's really back now.
But the lack of Todd means it's still owari.
All the chats I cared about are frozen in time because I don't want to downgrade their brains.

I've been going back and playing some older games, being reminded of how pure and full of soul the industry used to be is FUCKING painful.
Everyone says things have gone to shit, but it's unironically true.

>Vtubing as it is right now is incredibly comfy and soothing to me. Not very many forms of media are capable of delivering that feeling any more.
"All media is inherently political" is one of the worst, if not THE worst, ideological developments of the past decade. I 100% agree, being able to watch someone like Gura for a bit and forget about everything is amazing, and it sucks to think it might become like everything else

Why live

>>1701938
>forced opportunistic pairing masterminded by Kiara
Yes most definitely
>Mori hates her
He she seems to become accustomed friends with her and seems to legit care, and I can relate cause I too used to have a few annoying barely redeemable friends that I still cared for deeply, I just hope things turn out for the good for mori cause everyone deserves a happy ending, and to fulfill the idea that there was possible hope in those old failed friendships of mine
