for real though, it's so frustrating that progress percentages, data amounts transferring, etc, were pushed aside in favor of opaque screens like this

even progress bars instead of percentages annoy me, makes it much more difficult to see if a task has stalled/frozen

I didn't realize mikuexpo was going up but also at the same time.... I don't know if I particularly care, it hasn't hit the same since 2014 and I didn't go last time, I feel like the next step up for me is to go to one in Japan
