Legit Nier automata is a absolutely, horrible and unmitigated disaster, it require LITERALLY to pirate the game to maintain it stable, the game is so much of a joke that repackers and cs.rin were practically laughing their asses of how bad it was

Why the game is almost 40gb more lighter? because the morons of Platinum games encoded the videos with a stupid 40 mb/s of bitrate, also it require tons and tons of hacks to keep it from crashing

it's like they abandoned the game after releasing it

Botan giving off some serious M. Bison vibes. But it's definitely a good mindset to have as an online content creator.

 

[Green Oil]

The console versions are ok, the LEGAL pc version is terrible you are better pirating it

I mean Nier Automata Game Pass for PC, not the consoles.

Blame square for that. Thankfully I had no game crashing issues with it but I was using a mod to help with performance.

Pochi-sensei is hosting another meme stream.

It’s fascinating to see the different meme culture over there. It’s like Coco’s shitpost review except we’re the guest.

i didint realize at first its actually the REAL Pochi. based momey pochi giving me years of good fap material.

 

[aldoragezz]

holy shit, iirc if you play the second time the fucking key turned invisible right?

GOD DOG

 

[Screw Danlon]

I love how even Ayame’s rules seem super nice and friendly. “Please be good, or I’ll be sad”.

Then again, Ayame sad is way scarier than Rushia’s fury.

I found this small Japanese vtuber who is a zombie character named Zonbko. She seems to be only doing endurance streams right now until she reaches 10k subscribers.

She legit has streamed nearly 12 hours every day for the past 5 days.

Can only hope she is getting some rest between streams.

Lol @ her eyebrows tardin' out like h3h3. Nice voice too. Good sleepy time streamer.

Aqua's chat was getting a ton of spam from EN idiots, trolls, and the good-old CCPCucks. She never acknowledged anything, and then there was a discord ping.:

No tears or pleading, just went straight for the kill switch. Edit: It seemed to work.
You know, yesterday, she mentioned how in school she would finish tests really early and spend class-time just doodling and sleeping. Not really what you would expect from Baqua. These streams have been a bit of a gold-mine recently with her sharing a lot more.

I used to do the same thing back in school, usually on tests that are easy or subjects I'm very good at. This implies that Baqua is very confident on her tests, which, because of the nature of tests on East Asian countries, suggests she's very smart

Lulu shows up on Honhima anime again but adamantly refused to make a peep on her own channel, it's been more than a month already.

Also Yashiro appears on his daughter anime now. The rest of Dokuzuhonsha is an eventuality,

The holo girls solving a murder mystery at the hot spring. It's pretty entertaining if you're into trpg.

One of them is not like the other

Oh, I thought they were streaming a weird RP free chat like the 3rd gen online offline collab. Damn, now I need to watch them

Also, probably the closest to her real voice you're going to hear since a year later she started using the type of voice we know today. Wouldn't mind if she pulled out this voice for her ASMR streams.

Siren huh, a very interesting choice of game there

In the same way that D&D is *the* definitive TRPG of the US and The Dark Eye is *the* definitive TRPG of Germany, Call of Cthulhu is *the* definitive TRPG of Japan. When you say the word 'TRPG' to a Japanese person, it's what everyone imagines.

Japan didn't have much of a native TRPG culture (outside of a few niche games like Sword World) until replays of Call of Cthulhu sessions started blowing up on niconico and youtube in the early 2000s, at which point it became one of those weird otaku mainstays almost overnight. Some people think it's because Japanese people have a predilection for urban fantasy and horror. Me, personally, I think it's because WotC is incapable of publishing books that don't make Japanese bookstore owners shit themselves in fear over lost shelf space.

Yes. Actually a lot of Japanese media was. Allegedly a lot of the foundations of the Nasuverse spun out of a series of World of Darkness games Kinoko Nasu played during the 90s.

And therein is kind of a clue as to why TRPGs were so niche - the dice. Until the advent of online shipping, getting a hold of a set of polyhedral dice to play most of the games was nearly impossible in Japan (for reference, even in the 90s I could walk into most major bookstores in the US and get a set). You could find standard six-sided dice to play games like WoD or Sword World, but playing something like CoC or D&D was out of the question. Then in the 2000s, possibly encouraged in part by resurgence of interest in TRPGs in the west (with the 3rd edition of D&D and the OGL) and in part by an increasing awareness of the hobby in otaku subculture, more people started taking to it.

Fun fact: Similar to how we have tourists in the west who exclusively consume TRPG content through shows like Critical Role or The Adventure Zone, there's long been a 'Replay' culture in Japan wherein most people with awareness of the hobby consume it via transcribed game sessions with illustrations.

Before CoC, there was Lodoss War. It was so huge it basically became the DnD equivalent of influence in the fantasy genre in Japan. You know those tropes in fantasy anime or light novels? Those can be traced back to Lodoss War most of the time.
I think the RPG that's more popular in Japan are the system that favors roleplaying instead of the combat-oriented systems like DnD. In fact, some of the systems there even use cards instead of dice.

Also, a bit of fun fact, instead of the long archive-style of Critical Role, Replays are more of a rewriting of the campaign, with more emphasis on the characters and narratiin instead of the players. Its usually sold as a tool to promote the systems used, as a somekind of a guide for new players. The Replay system was so popular in Japan, in fact, a lot of writers there came from Replay background. Even the Goblin Slayer has roots as a Replay of Pathfinder

If you look at a viral (japanese called it "buzz" for some reason) japanese tweet, you'll often see their taste in meme. Its...weird, really, comparing it to both english/american or Indonesian memes. Its almost like they have a very disunited meme culture in their netsphere, compared to the rest of the world

Lion doesnt care about puny humans with puny insults, fuck them

Then again, Ayame sad is way scarier than Rushia’s fury.

Her simps would tear you apart, notice how in 1000 pages we have discussed how awful simps from some of them are but Hayame are the most shill and devouted even when they know their oshi is not up there in the ranking they dont care

In updates, Kiara finally found (lol piracy) ejem PERFORMANCE tools to make her Nier dont run like ass

I quit playing that piece of shit about 5 different times already since I got it last summer. Even after "fixing" it with mods it's unbearable. Memory leaks out the ass, drives my RAM up well over 75% within an hour or so. Doesn't help that I find it honest to god boring as fuck except for the boss fights. I'd probably have stuck with it if the rest of the game was like first 30-45 minutes. Honestly thinking about saying faq it and catching up on Ame's paythrough before she picks it up again

Wonder how old Oga is, he breezed thought Megaman 2 like it was nothing and said that he has fond memories of it

Install the pirate version, really, the pirates solved all the problems because they were freaking annoyed at the people bitching about the issues that were a combination of absolutely terrible DRM and bad optimization

Edit: im noticing that Senchou doujins of Mizuryu kei are appearing on the sad panda, how odd

I think the RPG that's more popular in Japan are the system that favors roleplaying instead of the combat-oriented systems like DnD. In fact, some of the systems there even use cards instead of dice.

Lodoss itself was played using the old B/X style rules for D&D before eventually morphing into its own game (Sword World). Although I wouldn't call it as influential as D&D even within Japan. For one thing, whereas D&D has focused on consolidating its systems into unified abstractions, Sword World has gone full-on crunch, even importing many concepts from computer RPGs such as mana pools and a weird JRPG-like magic system. This has left it in kind of a weird place as a TRPG that's not TRPG enough for most of the current Japanese TRPG playerbase (too much crunch, not enough social mechanics).

For my money though, the best TRPG ever produced in Japan is Maid RPG.

That was my understanding. Handing in a test early not knowing a damn thing is considered 'badass' as a faux American stereotype, it's definitely funny to us, but that guy is usually the clown or just a plain reject. I'm pretty sure those don't fly the same way in Japan, and are probably unheard of for females. Either Aqua was a hardcore fuck-you-teach gyaru, so braindead she didn't even know she was wrong at everything, or was actually a pretty smart girl. Doesn't change the fact her knowledge of the world is basically zip. . . but she is trying her best.

Then again, Ayame sad is way scarier than Rushia’s fury.

And Ayame mad apparently can suplex her father and put fists through walls. That little spit-fire is not one I want to cross.

Good sleepy time streamer.

She has a really nice voice that is true, and her mic seems pretty good too. Really clear. I looked at her history too; predates Ollie by a few months. So, anyone saying she is a grifter can sit tight.
