Didn't clip it because it went on for a while. I'll try to make some clips after she's done streaming.
We're going to see a lot more of it but we won't be seeing a full return. While a lot of commies like their hugboxes (rightoids love them too), they like having control over the medium and letting everyone fuck off to their own little "cornerstore" forum instead of forcing everyone onto the same "walmart" aggregator forum isn't going to fly with them. Expect them to get a lot more aggressive in the coming years about going after these "far right indoctrination sites". They're already determined to go on dox brigades against any users of alternative social media platforms that get big enough, they're just too blinded by their hugbox to know of these smaller forums.
For content creators though, they'll likely remain active on these aggregator sites simply for the significant amount of exposure they get and if they're smart, they'll utilize those smaller forums to help cultivate their audience. It's very apparent people like their own little social club forums with the prominence of discord servers. Only reason a lot of people haven't moved over to self-hosted smaller forums is because discord servers are a lot easier to set up and it provides an aggregation of these "discord forums" with the discord app. In short, normies are super lazy and don't want to do the legwork to find new forums and that's why aggregator sites have become so popular. Hopefully when smaller forums become more popular again, we'll see a resurgence of something like StumbleUpon.
The Internet is forever stuck finding ways of interacting that sit on a spectrum from IRC to Geocities. It's been nearly 30 years and the interaction functions are basically the same. It's just a question if you've added Instant Messaging or not. Considering the history of human movement is about leaving overpopulated & corrupt areas and moving to new pastures (only for the corruption to follow), the move away from centralized is just going back in swing. It also helps that, after the major powers funneled trillions into tech companies for User Data, turns out it's mostly worthless.
We're seeing a mass-scale realignment in a lot of areas, as a result.
Why the Phase connect members having potato PC. I thought they should at least able to afford a decent PC with 3070 graphic cards.....
PC being a potato or not doesn't matter when you never clean them. At what point does anyone in Phase Connect feel like they'd ever remember to clean out some dust filters?
Whatever happened to the off collab chadcast that was supposed to happen in Japan? Bae is back in Australia now right?
Irys was too busy playing games to 6 am, or something. Given what's been going on, it seems like everyone is super busy when they get to Japan and time is hard to come by. This is, oddly enough, exactly why Coco wanted a place really near the office, and why she had so many collabs there.
Prepare for Kino the Boys are going to play a game that is about killing each other ala Amongus and Vesper,Altare are in (For now) This is because of Shinri Birthday
I hope Vesper kills Altare
The Geo collab of Azki and Ollie left this funny interaction

Japanese people being clueless about WW2 will always be funny
Considering how much Japanese industry is tied with Indonesia, it didn't click for me at first it was a WW2 site. It's a funny interaction, but not as "Japanese don't know their history" issue as just you skip over those details with time.
