Hey guys!

Ya'll probably know how I don't like to talk about donations, tips, or any other types of monetization but I have to make an exception this time. This is the

reason I started displaying Subscriber and $ goals on Stream:

As I mentioned in a recent post, my family has had some major health issues in the last few weeks. I won't go heavy in detail but the big one was that my father was in the hospital for almost 2 weeks. I was sick around the same time but I was able to (mostly) recover by just laying in bed and with medicine. Because of these sudden health incidents, luxury spending is gonna be near non-existant for the next year or so. The only money I really have left is in my Twitch/YT account. So I'd like to ask for any support at all, to go towards making a small dream come true before January.

Basically I need around $500 USD to get a new body (model) for streaming. This is already accounting for every tip I've received thus for over the last 2 years. I appreciate every penny. Anything extra would go towards increasing the quality even further (rigging, more emotes, future outfits, assets for stream) and/or improvements for the channel as usual. I want to make more fun content after being reborn. Mid January was the estimated date I was given by an artist.

I really don't like asking people for money or even to ask for help with anything but with the time limit so short and all the sudden health expenses, I feel like I have no choice but to push for this.

If you wish to support my dream you can either donate through Twitch (they'll take 50% of the money) or through StreamElements. Sorry no Superchat YouTube yet - still need more Subs for that! Should I open a Kofi as well? Some people prefer that I think 🤔

Please do note that if you're using a PERSONAL PayPal account, your real name will be displayed on my end. It will not show up publicly. For that reason I recommend making a professional account if you're concerned about streamers knowing your name. I only memorize usernames and I will never reveal the real names of anyone who sends a tip.

Again, any penny helps. But I appreciate everyone even if you don't send tips.

Thanks for watching my bad content... I would've quit forever ago if not for how awesome you all are

what super expensive indulgence would u get for urself if u suddenly came into a bunch of money?? assume all bills/mortgages paid, all friends helped: what treat are u buying just for u?? for me it would be a quilted lambskin chanel bag in iridescent pink

I would bribe Square Enix Image Studio Division to re-render versions of all of the Final Fantasy XIV intros using each of the race and gender combinations available (except male Midlander Hyur, which is the default), and then have Yoshi-P patch the game to play the correct intro based on your active character.

I wanna see my Face 4 Auri OC in the shadowbringers OP.

I think I figured out the true reason I've been so disappointed in the PS5 (and to a lesser extent, the PS4).

Back in the 90s when I fell in love with PlayStation, it was because the system actually offered me an experience no other system could. It did things other systems didn't, and couldn't do. It even did some technical things that PCs at the time couldn't do - largely because home gaming PCs were insanely expensive in those days. The PS2 mostly had this same advantage. The PS3 was worthwhile at launch for its blu-ray player alone. It was the first and only one under $1000 when the PS3 launched. It also allowed companies to use it as a Linux machine and they were even hooked up together to create cheap a "super computer". The cell processor caused a lot of issues but at least Sony was trying to be innovative and did things no one else did. But the PS4 and PS5 are just lower end PCs.

The PS4 was already underpowered at launch. I built PCs that were stronger for barely more money. It was disappointing. I skipped it until the Pro came out with FFXV. I was depressed to find that it didn't even run the game at 60 fps with the Pro version. Monster Hunter World also has tons of bad fps drops. Nearly every game did due to the bad CPU.

In contrast to that, the PS5 is great value because it actually has hardware worth over double the console's price. However, it's still just a lower mid-range PC. My PC I haven't upgraded in over 2 years runs games like Control at double the fps the PS5 does with better graphical settings. The PS5 does absolutely nothing innovative. When reading reviews about it people write things like "it has an SSD". SSD aren't new. We've had them in PC for over a decade. People told me the PS5 has no loading times. Every game I've played has 2-5 seconds if loading - same as PC with an SSD. It's nothing like the old days of the PS1 doing things no other system at the time could do.

The only selling point for PS5 now really is "exclusives"... Except it barely has any. 2 years since release there's only 2 true exclusive games (games not available anywhere else, including PS4). Ratchet, and Returnal. Returnal is coming to PC. FFXVI? At worst, 6 months later it will be on PC. FF7 Remake Part 2 will certainly come to PC. PS5 really has nothing worth the asking price. It does absolutely nothing innovative or special. The UI isn't even good. It's a well-priced PC with an extremely limiting operating system and a tiny tiny SSD.

Side note, but anyone that really wants 4k gaming should get a high end PC with an Nvidia card for DLSS.

I am begging the people of tumblr (specifically those who came from twitter like me) to not treat this website the same as twitter and just interact with posts by just liking!!

Please reblog to your hearts content and if you see something you like that a fellow vtuber (this applies to regular non-vtubing content as well!) posts then please reblog it!! It’s an immense help for your fellow vtubers to get spread out on this platform.

Reblogging is so so so important as well as adding tags for others to find that exact content as well! Spreading the love around doesn’t hurt you in any way and remember we’re all in this together ❤️

This is good advice probably

I reverted the theme to the default because the custom one I accidentally set looked awful and wanted me to pay $9 to edit it in any way

Returning for a summer meeting

Source: KOKIA.com/blog, July 17, 2022

I haven’t updated in a while, as I’ve returned to Japan.

And just as I was thinking, huh? I haven’t heard the cicadas yet, I heard the cicada chirp for the first time this summer today.

When I hear the cicadas, it gives me the feeling that summer is here.

Have you all been doing well?

I hope so. I’ve been working on my fourth fun album about animals as I think of all of you.

I have some happy news today.

My paid livestream concert ‘History of my pieces’, which had a set list comprised of only songs I’ve done as tie-in songs and went live on June 25, was received favorably, and it was quickly decided to have a rerun.

The rerun will start on Saturday, July 30 at 20:00 JST.

The price for the rerun will be a bit cheaper.

I have received some questions about it here and there, but unfortunately there are currently no plans for this concert to be sold on Blu-ray or DVD in Japan.

Currently, I’m planning on distribution exclusively through the Chinese online webshop ‘Masadora’, considering my Chinese fans have trouble watching the livestream due to the system used.

If you’ve missed the previous broadcast, I’d be happy if you were to check out the rerun this time.

Of course I want you to enjoy the concert, but I’ll also be sitting behind my computer at the same time watching it, so I’d like it if we got to chat together in the chat.

It will be my birthday soon.

I had been planning on another concert to go along with it, but unfortunately, some plans have gotten delayed…

It’s a bit small, but I’m currently planning on a performance at the ‘otonami house’ as I’d like to have a live ‘music time’ in August.

I’ll soon share more news about it.

P.S.: Today I wrote the song ‘Hamster’ (Hamusutaa). One more song to go. Once I’ve written to last song, it’s time to actually record them.

As of the moment, I’ve got… An octopus, crocodile, capybara, turtle, dragon, polar bear, migratory bird, hamster, sea angel… a lineup with a small number of fluffy, cuddly animals. That’s why I’ve been wondering whether to write a song about a bit more familiar next for the final one. Stay tuned!

Terror in anime

I was thinking recently about truly scary anime. Horror anime doesn’t scare me. Horror anime is more often funny than it is scary. War is what I think is truly terrifying. However, few anime have really portrayed it well. One anime that I always think of when I think of a truly terrifying war and destruction is the original Macross (and Do You Remember Love? movie). Spoilers for a 40-year-old…

YouTube vs Twitch

I’ve spent the last few months testing a lot. Twitch and YouTube are honestly both bad at “Discoverbility”. Twitch is good if you want to browse a certain category but small streamers get buried. Small streamers need friends and luck to get raid to get higher in the sorting. YouTube is better for recommendations. Twitch only seems to to recommend streams with 30 viewers or more. YouTube will…
