      tldr: japan's still pretty cool actually, in spite of what social media slop claims.

      also a darling example of the duality of man, duality of influencing, how influencers can be good or evil etc.

          >watching youtube video talking about the problem with videos that discuss the "problem" of "performative male" whinging on social media platforms.

          >they deduce that its just another rehash of thinly veiled homophobia and misogyny while also shitting on people for being themselves

          can most sources of social media anxiety, anger, self righteousness, and bigotry be avoided by going against the hijacking of human need to be validated by a capricious tribe, and not giving a shit?

          no, it is the [niche micro subculture that is so incredibly rare that the only reason you even noticed their existence is because some asshole shoved a camera in their face during lunch] that are wrong!

          more proof that SOCIETY and CULTURE is also just circular as hell. I was doing all this shit Before it was Cool and yes people called me a hipster and at the time I didn't know that that was supposed to be an insult, so ironically I looked up "hipster" culture, liked the aesthetic, and started *dressing specifically like one.*

          only thing i didn't keep from hipster "culture" was the whole "ugh, your tastes are SO plebian, I only consume organic craft microbrewed fair trade content."

          that's just being a dick lol.

                    there's a balance between talking too much about your personal life as an online influencer if you want to mostly keep your privacy, and also keeping your social media accounts active in lieu of having vtubing/influencer shit to actually post about. i feel like these and home grown memes are still a less toxic alternative to reposting and commenting on every single little thing that goes through the skyline, though.

                    if you do too much of that eventually people start getting confused about what it is you actually do, or why they should care about you.

                                                  at times, i feel like i'm treading water and instead of getting a flotation device, or making my way slowly toward land, i'm instead stopping every few feet to pick up some shiny object, maybe a knicknack or doodad floating around, or just beneath the waves.

                                                  the problem is, this happens often enough that i get to a point where i'm starting to sink from all the extra weight. so, in desperation, i let go of a bunch of the heaviest items- and then later, the smaller ones, so i'm at least back to having my nose and mouth above water, even if my ears aren't. and every now and then a wave rolls by, and i dip in the process, and have to come up for air again.

                                                  this keeps going and going, but i started noticing lately that i'm getting tired, and even treading water is starting to get harder to do. each time i sink, it feels like i'm sinking faster. and although i'm not holding onto as much, my body feels heavier.

                                                  land doesn't seem any closer either.

                                                          As it turns out, yup! Indeed! We'll probably be delaying between like 6:45 and 7:00 PM EST.

                                                          Stay tuned once more!

It may have cost far less than any commercial air purifier on the market, but the three hours of blissful DIY and using that rare smattering of remembered math to complete it was far more valuable.

                                                                                        and i'm doing this both because i need to remember what even happened during that session and because i don't have the stones right now for playing video games.

                                                                                        will announce when we're live sometime in the next few minutes.

                                                                                          1) Study them for ways I can improve as a DM while cringing at myself,

                                                                                          2) Relearn what all happened during those sessions in preparation for the return of the campaign, and

                                                                                          3) Rebroadcast them for people who haven't seen them.

                                                                                          As a bonus, I figure I could also use that time as an excuse to mark clippable moments so I can manually cut those up in Davinci Resolve and then upload them to twitch/youtube etc.
