I don't personally know anyone in a qpr and my understanding is that it's an umbrella term so I think we're already at the limit of my own understanding. Or I should say, I share that question and cannot answer it.
does it count as a qpr if the last time someone asked me out, we became best friends instead
teal bear
Do you count it as one
teal bear
It is
Man i wanna stay friends with people i reject but they all distance themselves from me
north siren
I've always thought it was weird when fictional people do the whole "he/she rejected me so I can't stand to be around him/her any more" thing
not to say there's zero discomfort or anything, but at least if I was the one who got rejected, all the reasons I liked the person would still apply afterward so it'd take more than that to want to actively cut ties
iron quail
I guess itll be too awkward, but even still
sometimes they only befriend bc they have the goal of dating you, if rejected, they move on to something else ig
north siren
yeah my running theory has been that I feel this way because for me romance is a strict superset of friendship
and it's pretty clear that's not how it works for everyone
teal bear
If they shamed me sure but just reject? No reason to avoid them unless seeing them gets you anxious
storm heath
It makes sense to me to distance myself from people in that scenario because it's awfully uncomfortable and I need time and space to process things and re-evaluate whether I'm just hurting myself staying in the same area. This has gotten easier over the years, but I imagine everyone has their reasons.
north siren
no yeah temporary distancing makes sense
I was referring to the "never again" kind that seems to be the default in fiction

could you elaborate on the "superset" part
storm heath

I guess Doyalist wise, that's because it's dramatic and engages readers
iron quail
at least if a couple broke up, doing the "never again" is more understandable
cold plover
I feel like emotional maturity and communication skills are both less common than we think, so it's easier for people to say "never again" and cut people off than give space and process their feelings
iron quail
its pretty maddening to me when a move/show pulls miscommunication (or lack of) to drive the plot 
and no one rly talks to each other
north siren
I'm not opposed to miscommunication plots but you have to handle it very carefully because we've all seen painfully lazy uses of that
romance stories especially can "get away with it" because, as some of you said, it's actually pretty normal for people to suck at communicating their feelings, especially when the feelings are new and confusing to them, and they have no experience at romance, etc, etc, etc

should I ask
lucid python
Don't worry about it 
north siren
could you elaborate on the "superset" part
oh right I forgot to reply to this
by "superset" what I meant was: everything I want out of a friendship is also something I want out of a romance, often more so
A probably useful example would be that I often hear people express that they want more emotional intimacy from their friendships than they expect out of their romance (women are usually more explicit about this but it seems common for men too?). That concept is totally alien to me; I want max emotional intimacy before any romantic/physical stuff is even on the table.
cold plover
the idea of a romantic relationship not involving emotional intimacy sounds alien to me
like if I'm just there for her body, that's going to change with time and pictures don't
north siren
yeah this is one of those topics where anytime you bring it up there's a 50/50 chance the other person will go "but doesn't everyone want that" 
(tbf I think zero emotional intimacy in a romance is indeed not common and maybe a contradiction; I said "more" for a reason)
iron quail
ig its sort of like a Friends with Benefits, where emotional intimacy isnt particularly common there(?)
I dont doubt its existence, just hard for me to imagine the concept

This sucks especially for indies who may not have the corporate sledgehammers behind them to bludgeon their way into YouTube's relevant offices to have videos reinstated or re-monetized after auto-detection bullshit like that.
sharp adder
This is unfortunately the reason why in the mid 2010s soooo many creators just made a Patreon for their stuff, can't trust YouTube not to randomly demonetize your whole channel for literally anything
I don't know if Storm has one though
Unfortunately I also don't know if 2 snacks has enough influence to really make a difference here, it's usually huge influencer/personality creators who have a say on these things, not faceless animators, but also more unfortunately it's the only way to make this situation better for Storm, just hope enough people get mad and they revert it I guess
Even some big creators had to jump through the myriad of YouTube hoops to get a situation like this sorted, and it usually ended with them having to make a thread about it and rile people up to solve it otherwise YouTube does nothing

yeah I don't see how this situation changes as long as youtube has a de facto monopoly
twilit viper
north siren
it's extremely likely that the problem is simply the sheer scale of the platform making human moderation ludicrously expensive, and the only way they'd pay for that is if they were losing ground to a competitor or governments stepped in and forced them to do it
it's part of the reason I paid for Nebula; I don't think any "free" alternative will ever be able to afford being creator-friendly
storm heath
is Nebula good? I don't know what they have exactly.
north siren
as far as the platform itself, for me it's been youtube-like with zero bullshit, my only complaint is the lack of comments (and whether that's even a downside really depends on what channels you were following)
Whether it's worth it for you of course depends on whether their content overlaps enough with what you like to watch. Personally I watch a lot of long-form video essays on a wide range of topics, which is one of the niches they specialize in. A lot of video essayists have nebula exclusive videos or slightly longer/better versions of a video on nebula where they don't have to fear The Algorithm.
my personal Nebula subscriptions include Jacob Geller, Bobby Broccoli, Dominic Noble, Lindsay Ellis, Sarah Z, Liam Triforce, TierZoo, Razbuten, Legal Eagle, and Lily Alexandre; if I had infinite free time I'd probably have more
storm heath
fair enough, thanks
I never really get wtf Jacob Geller's vids are about from the title, so I rarely watch them hahah. Any good ones you'd recommend? and what they are actually about?
north siren
tbf part of what makes these questions tricky is that the best video essays are often about a lot of different things
but a classic Jacob Geller one that is relatively easy to get into, mostly not about rule 2 topics, and I can promise a significant chunk of this server will remember off the top of their heads is Every Zelda Is The Darkest Zelda

Topic wise I can kinda see how it could cause that

I don't mean distressing I mean stressful, I don't remember the game being a 'getting over it' anger inducing game
everyone says cc crashed out not that she quit because the game was too graphic so I assume she was just angry at the game
iron quail
what does "crashing out" even mean
did she rage quit, got uncomfortable, distressed, etc?
mystic walrus
I might have used the wrong term!
sharp adder
in this instance at least assuming that it was because she got angry it just means she got too angry and frustrated at the game and just quit
it's another term that kinda got diluted because of people using it too much because crashing out mostly refers to people who get so irrationally upset or angry and have a full meltdown or an episode but people started using it to just refer to when they get angry at something

Fortnite went of the rails ages ago and I stopped paying attention because I didn't think it could get crazier but each time it pops up for adding something crazy again I get surprised
Kizuna Ai, Hatsune Miku, Darth Vader, South Park... There is little that Fortnite has not touched

People/companies generally need to give permission for likenesses to be used like this
So Ai and/or her PR greenlit her being added
As did Viacom, hence the Nickelodeon additions, and Warner Bros. Discovery, hence Cartoon Network and DC additions

It's impressive how Fortnite evolved into creating an identity for itself by not having an identity at all and instead piggybacking off of all these other popular beloved IPs instead
It started off innocently enough with some crossovers at first back when Fortnite was brand new, and granted Fortnite does have original characters that I guess people kinda like too?
but after a while it was clear it became more of a hub for all things pop culture rather than its own thing

Nene reported that police caught the guy that broke into her place a while ago. She was shown his face and told his name to see if it was anyone she knew and it wasn't. Police reported that he was part of a known burglary ring that hit houses at random so Nene was not targeted and it wasn't a stalking incident.
sharp adder
Oh jesus I forgot about that
well that's good, I mean, not good but, you know...
was Nene the one that happened to during a stream or was that somebody else? because I remember there was an incident where someone's door was opened during a stream and they only noticed way after when the chat was going crazy about it

No, with Nene it was her place being broken into when she wasn't home. She came home and saw the place ransacked

Early Calli tried to put on this friendly veneer, especially with the JP members. Not that she wasn't and isn't friendly (per reports from other mems and even the deep lore she's probably one of the most friendly) but she tried this cutesy affect to lean into this gap moe thing.
Turns out she has natural gap moe and didn't need to do that and it's so much better seeing her more natural with everyone.
twilit viper
The baubau's computer issue is probably drivers, i'd guess
lucid python
Yeah Biboo suggested that and switching to DX11 but the twins opted to just not play instead of spending too much time troubleshooting
teal bear
Early Calli tried to put on this friendly veneer, especially with the JP members...
She also loaths her debut
sharp adder
Calli's just a big ol' dorky cutie patootie even irl
especially now that she's way more chill than she was in her first years where she was really trying, her attitude overall is just so much more mellowed out now especially during any collab streams with any number of people she's always one of the chillest ones just hanging out with her friends having a good time
not really trying super hard just being a bro
lucid python
Tweets like this let me know Calli got she got the magic of friendship in her heart
Hololive needed Calli, and at the time Calli didn't know how much she needed Hololive
cold plover
oh my gosh yeah
I follow her past life and her works there are important to me, so I see and get some of what she means
teal bear
I'm happy for Calli because joining hololive definitely helped her
A lot of the EN talents really tried to mimic the cute moe accents the JP talents had
lucid python
The only ones who seemed to have achieved it are the twins, who really do sound as if they were JP members I can understand entirely
They're pros who understood the assignment
They probably have the largest JP following by proportion
The one with the largest JP following who isn't also fluent in Japanese was probably Fauna or Mumei. Saw a lot of talk among JP fans on how Fauna was easy to listen to (she speaks softly, slowly, and very clearly enunciates her words) and Mumei's singing voice was nice. Towa being an absolute Mumei stan also helped.

Calli also was the one that had the most JP under her belt from the very first EN generation
so she acted as a bridge as much as Coco did

Her old one had a nice outfit but was kinda poorly proportioned just due to the art style

Will prolly end up as a new skin if the game ever gets updated

Next update is on its way, but it will take a bit more time as Kay Yu said they and the team wanted to bring more focus back to the main game rather than doing those "game within a game" additions
Also graduated members are indicated on the title screen by having sparkles on them
lucid python
The most recent dev post Kay Yu made on Dec 30, 2025
TL;DR 0.8 is being worked on, but is taking longer because it's big, and though they are lead dev, HoloCure and game development is a side hobby for Kay Yu (their main job is being an animator/animation director) so the game isn't always on their front burner.
