To learn more about little ol' me. :)

@SyzygyAltair If chemical kinetics counts... yes. If not, nope. But I'll argue I had to learn chemical kinetics in my physical chemistry courses so it SHOULD count. XD

Konbannichi wa minna-san This is a tough week at work for me, so I will not be streaming this week. Too exhausted mentally and physically. x_x Keep an eye on the socials for when I'll be back. Ja, ne -Ichiro

@Jeyraident Good luck! Hope it comes through for ya!

I submitted a Front Page application!! ✅ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ Now we wait, and if we actually get it, it’s time to lock in our debut date!! WE GOT BIG THINGS COMING WOOOO

@zentreya Can’t say I have. Maybe your body was trying to tell ya to get more sleep since warm milk supposedly helps relax people.

you ever so tired you put your milk carton in the microwave

@NicoNicoplasma My day to day job is being a science teacher and we just talked about cancer and cell cycle checkpoints today in an AP Bio review with my students. It really is an interesting field of research! Especially the cellular signaling side and working all that insanity out!

HELLO did you know MAY is national cancer research month??? when i'm not microbe'ing around, i work as a cancer science writer! cancer research is super close to my heart! this month we'll be spending A LOT OF TIME talking about all kinds of cancer research and cancer biology

This is so helpful! Thank you!! Where would be the best place to find out what would be considered as valid hashtags? I’ll freely admit that I struggle trying to figure out what to use as hashtags on content I post since I do science related topics. A good example would be a clip from an early stream I posted to YouTube talking about how converted to data, a bacterial genome would fit on a 1.44 MB floppy disk.

✿ Hashtag Strategy That Actually Works ✿ The way algorithms push content is through tiered testing. It starts with a small control group, and if your content does well there, it gets pushed to the next group, then the next, then the next, like rings in a tree trunk. If it fails at any point, it stops getting pushed and fizzles out. This is why your hashtag strategy matters. You want relevant hashtags at every tier (small, medium, and large) so the algorithm has a data point to work with at each level. Small hashtags would be anything under 500K posts. Think game titles, niche community tags, specific content types. The more specific, the smaller. Medium hashtags sit around 500K to 1M posts. Think genre tags, community tags, platform tags. Large hashtags I usually consider to be 1M+ posts. Think #Twitch, #Gaming, #Funny, #Shorts. Pick a mix of 5 hashtags from all three categories for every post. That's it. That's the strategy! Not as hard as you think it is huh? ;3

There is only one joke that I can think of that is worthy for a mathematician to be holding... The Parker Square. For those who give it a go, but just fall short! And I tried to mimic the brown paper that they use on Numberphile for it. XD

Konbannichi wa minna-san! I think tonight is a great night to finish building Bowser's car so it doesn't look like he's torn the hood off the front of it. What do you think? ;) 7 PM EST over on the Purple Site (Link in Reply) Ja, ne! -Ichiro

Konbannichi wa minna-san! We're gonna take it easy tonight. Let's do another build stream! This time with Legos. Come on by and let's chat! 7 PM EST over on the Purple Site. (Link in reply ;)) Ja, ne! -Ichiro

I would want to keep building from where I am. Your model and persona starts becoming kinda like your own child in a way. Like, I am really excited to finally debut my model and assets I’ve been working on for almost 6 months now. I wouldn’t want to trade it for the world right now. :)

If someone handed you: - new branding - new model - new assets - and general support Would you start over from scratch? Or do you think you'd still want to build from where you are now?

@BedeeliaBoueti Scream. Wonder why. And panic not knowing what to do. 😂

Question for smaller VTubers If you suddenly blew up overnight... What's the first thing you'd do?

@SyzygyAltair I’ve heard from some voice actors I know honey and tea are good for the voice. And vocal rest.

gah I've been sick 😔 do any of you have suggestions on how to recover my voice quickly? 😭

Konbannichi wa minna-san! As of today, I am now a Twitch Affiliate! We did it together!! Thank you so much for helping me achieve this after just 108 days since I started. There is so much more to come! I am just getting started with everything I want to do! Ja, ne -Ichiro

Konbannichi wa minna-san! Last week we talked about antibiotics and how we use them to treat infections. Tonight, BACTERIA STRIKES BACK! Come join us tonight at 7 PM EST over on the Purple Site! (link in reply) Ja, ne -Ichiro

Konbannichi wa minna-san I’m feeling better, but wanna take an extra day to make sure I’m 100% better. So I’ll be streaming tomorrow night. We’ll continue talking about antibiotics with antibiotic resistance mechanisms. Ja, ne -Ichiro

Konbannichi wa minna-san. I think I picked up something at work and am gonna have to call off tonight’s stream and rest. I may stream tomorrow night or Thursday night. We’ll see how I’m feeling. Ja, ne -Ichiro

@VtuberConsult I see. *makes a note on that* I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks!

@IchiroScian Yeah. I feel like a portion of it is just having the right feed curated. If you're being spammed with posts that don't really incentivize interaction that can make it a lot harder
