one very fun thing about mass production of chekis for the Densetsu.EXE Patreon is that we can literally weigh the growth of memberships on a monthly basis

I have successfully replaced small fragile dumb plastic things from AliExpress that only sort of do what they're supposed to with small dumb plastic things from a 3D printer that do exactly what they're supposed to

@lilybwees @st3lla5tars I suspect that there are more than six sevens

@st3lla5tars oh okay different Sev

trans people choosing their names are so hit and miss because you’ll find the sweetest cutest doll ever named Kaylie and then you go on hinge and someone’s name is Seven

@Coal if you wanna split a hotel room within driving distance I'm road tripping

thinking about acen is very😵‍💫 right now but if i miss imas in america i think i perish

I attempted to introduce new, wind resistant banner giveaway tech to put on the pinto at carriercon but there was a 3D print error and I had to arrive early for parking :(

🏁HAPPY MAR.TEN DAY!!🏁 I see your “Dolphin on a dolphin” And raise you an “Ashton Marten on an Aston Martin” !! @SenpaiSquadNet and the Pitcrew came together on “Project First Place” right after Holiday Matsuri in order to debut on MAR10!! This is just one of many announcements for the Roller Rodent Race Queen of VTuber Racing, check the original tweet for merch, music, and more!

I feel like my local FedEx fired someone or had someone arrested because my small packages have been scanned to send out for delivery for 5 consecutive days

the genre of replies to the minto pinto that are just "did you know this car is dangerous omg" is really fun to me because it implies that I am an uninformed buyer of a notorious 50 year old vehicle

closing out one more occasional late night doing back of house work for vtubers. I've used pretty much every interdisciplinary office skill I've accumulated, which makes me a little scared about all for the stuff that unsupported indies go through

I Love Mint! I’ll be proud for the rest of my life that this ghostly young lady lent her voice to my anime.If you’re wondering where her voice appears, stay tuned for April💚

so #Alva was the reason for my first microtransaction almost a decade ago as AN-94, and since then I have acquired a career so the transactions aren't going to be particularly micro this time around @GFL2EXILIUM_EN

check out our eclectic spin on a 2000s era Japanese idol website densetsu.moe

The @densetsuexe website didn't go this far because it's hard to make a website like this usable on a device with less than a 12 inch 4:3 screen and a mouse The usual solution was making a totally different mobile-only website on a .mobi domain or subdomain which is not ideal

COMMENT As a result of pouring absolutely everything from the thirty years I’ve been alive into this project, every last element, from self-harm to drugs, religion, and sex—got flagged during the review process. Each time it happened, the anime staff worked hard to keep the vision intact, insisting: “We absolutely don’t want to let fear of regulation ruin what makes this work compelling,” and they kept pushing. Thanks to that, the NEEDY anime has been coming together in an almost undiluted, straight-from-the-bottle form. Seeing the staff’s passion and depth of understanding, and how strongly they believed that “the concept of NEEDY GIRL has a reason to exist in this world,” and that “there are certain expressions only this work can depict," I’m now fully certain of this project’s value. When the voice actors performed the scripts I’d written so nakedly and frankly, there were moments when someone, fully immersed, would start crying. In that instant, I realized it: what this work is depicting, in the end, is “human beings.” A lot of people have discussed NEEDY with “the internet” at the center of it all. As for me, I’m proud to say I wrote out, in the original game, both the sweetness and the bitterness of the internet as I’ve seen it from childhood to the present. And because this is an anime born from that kind of work, of course we have to ask ourselves: “What was the internet, anyway?” Even the title of the new song I made with my friends this time is "INTERNET ANGEL". After releasing the game, the huge reaction to it connected me, too, to an unspecified multitude across the world. And I was insulted at times, had admiration hurled at me at times, was loved at times, attacked at times. Who on earth are these faceless people? Trends, oshis, faith, sneering cynicism, call-outs and pile-ons, outrage fires, consumption, algorithms, SNS, love and hate, influencers, pop, culture, criticism, subculture, mainstream, illustration, animation. My conclusion was: “human beings.” The true nature of the internet is nothing special. It’s simply “a gathering of human beings.” It isn’t anonymity, and it isn’t AI. Everything there is a collection of individuals: First there are people, and then there is the internet. At the end of a long history, humanity finally took a small rectangle into its hands and connected, at light speed, with people all over the world. Faced with the first great transformation in human history, many people are tormented by both its merits and its harms. Now, people fear that excessive power so much that smartphones and SNS are being regulated around the world. That overwhelming electromagnetic field, too, is “human beings.” Picking at a single word to nail a celebrity to a cross and burn them for it, or elevating a nameless girl—wrapped in two-dimensional aesthetics as she broadcasts her feelings—into an idol to be worshiped... all of it is done by individual human beings, one by one. The internet’s true nature was human beings. And so, at the turning point of my mid-life, I had to depict across thirteen episodes everything I’ve experienced of “the truth, the goodness, and the beauty human beings possess,” and in doing so, sublimate that strange youth I spent together with an unspecified multitude across the world into the comprehensive art form called animation. That comes with immense pain. It also means we can’t avoid including extreme, blunt expressions, and I’m sure countless opinions will fly back and forth. I think that, too, is proof that you are human. When the Taroman film ended on the caption “Taro Okamoto: Human,” I was overwhelmed, thinking: yes. Exactly this. Me, and you—we’re not anonymity. We’re not anime icons. We’re not creators, or lurkers, or streamers, or scalpers, or fans, or antis, or Toshiaki, or Nanashi-san. We are human beings who feel pain. nyalra

this is like showing off the @mintopinto76 and then transitioning to a Ford C-MAX whose personality is nondescript egg

@geneigalactica proposal: idol meltdown. oshi meltdown. virtual meltdown. mosswoodmeltdown.com

the grip the term “festival” has on the idol community in NA must be studied and I blame love live for it ngl 🫩

@ZunkleFunkle @Cantomancer @geneigalactica @DistantValhalla also not allowed to participate at a different convention 90 days before or after the con without written permission

@Cantomancer @geneigalactica @DistantValhalla First year con, $800 table fee (badge not included)

VTuber event/merch organizers, this may come as a shock to the system but I promise you that there are more words in the Japanese language than 'oshi'

@cinniblaze everyone learns in their own ways, but my preferred method of learning this kind of thing is having a good idea of what the end product should look and feel like first, and after that figure out how to make it real!

@weebcasa yo id love to make something like this... im still a css baby tho....

I made this! This was a fun webdev project since a big goal is to preserve the spirit of oldass 1024x768 Adobe Flash websites that Japan used to make for idol groups while presenting a mobile-usable inteface. There's a messy mix of design cues from the late '90s to early 2010s.

@FomTarro Thanks! Generating an RSS/Atom feed is on the list of things we wanted to get to after the launch. And good idea on the 88x31 badge! We'll queue it up after figuring out what it should look like... 🤔

@weebcasa Well done! Can you add an RSS feed? Also, I'd love to link to you guys with an 88x31 badge, if you want to lean into the GeoCities angle.

This website is mostly plain HTML and CSS compiled to a static site with Astro - but the profile page uses React to accomplish what Flash used to do instead! One bit of trivia is that every time we update the site, the members' YouTube channels on the front page shuffle around.
