Uh, hi! I'm Mana, and I like to livestream on Twitch! And game.
I also like to read and build Gunpla when I'm not streaming or playing video games.
Old shot, but the HG (high grade) I built a while ago.

Hey, stability is good! Didn't feature a lot of growth this year, but between not streaming consistently and... Well all my top games are RPGs, that's fine! We still have a good time here. #twitch #recap2025 #twitchrecap

I could speculate that perhaps it's because black or dark colors are more closely affiliated with the Nazi regime, but if that's all it was then are we concerned with how the Thai general looks? Is it just that it's silver on the uniform? Germany seems to still do that just fine on gray/green. 8/14

In the same clip the original art of her model had a red armband and she asked for its removal. She wasn't unaware there could be comparisons, I feel she rightfully didn't think they'd happen by her outfit alone. I don't blame her considering that Matara a few months earlier had a similar look. 7/14

Taking a more direct look at what might be issues, the flags being carried by the army is black on red. Concerning maybe, but aside from Zen marching alongside an army or the symbol on her hat being silver, I struggle to see where more similarities can be drawn personally. 3/14

Top of the article intro-graf style statement, yes her outfit looks kinda-sorta like a Nazi SS outfit. So I can see why folks are upset.
Then again so does the US' in a way, a lot of military outfits actually. Many are of a very similar style, just different colors and symbols are used. 2/14

Paraphrasing the very words that they are quoting, the taking of one class of citizen for the benefit of another would fall under socialism. Taxes! Funding stuff!
Same with this idea of taking from he who has thought to have earned too much. Y'know, get taxes, then give another business a bailout.

I absolutely look forward to the day I'm open to playing through it again as a different character. Because this was my TAV being a Fighter, and making frequent use of character swapping from the party to grow with everyone and experience everyone. Though I know it won't be like my first time again.

To pull from the article, this article doesn't cite that it's definitively generative AI.
Wouldn't put it past miHoYo, but I will fess up in saying I made a mistake with this post without having fully read the article. I do think it's worth being wary, not at the expense of being defamatory.

Never knew the goddess of wisdom and war was just a combination of an ant and a hyena. Just ignore the fact the name is "Antena." #badjoke #screenshot #videogame
I'll be here all week!

Related but not, I was in there to turn off the Gemini setting. If you hate AI that use large language models and are being shoved down our throats because tech bro grifters are hemorrhaging money, maybe go turn that off in Settings > Manage Apps > Gemini and make sure it's not used by default!

This was a fun way to basically get an answer that I didn't think they'd have. Because yeah, that's kinda accurate.
'Course this could be horoscope-esque, but where's the fun in that skepticism?

Oh, well...
Honestly that makes sense, yeah. I'd be the pragmatic one that goes "like we could just... Go." And then die to that hubris.

The take is a bit more nuanced than that with the full context of the interview provided here. Though the nuance kinda starts and stops at loving an abusive parent kind of love far as my take goes.
If I could say anything to Emma, it's do not love the intolerant, for they will not love you.

If money were no object, as I'm starting to go through Narita Taishin's career in Umamusume... I'd commission an artist to draw her with Cloud Strife.
You look at this horse girl and how she poses, and you tell me she doesn't give you angsty dorky cool-guy energy!

I'm sorry, it's HOW MUCH!?
Like yeah I pay this much for a 1/7th scale fig, and I think this is absurd as an accessory to play Virtual Boy games. FYI the cardboard one is $25 US.

A random person has appeared!
I don't play FFXIV at the moment so I am woefully behind, but these card makers seem super neat! I wanted to join in.

My fiancé showed me a Tiktok about someone playing with a tarantula hawk, which led to me bringing up FFXIV tarantula hawks, which lead to them commenting the image I sent them looks like a wrestler.
Followed by "I'd rather be hit by that with a steel chair than stung" AND I WISH I COULD DRAW THAT!

I too will join in on this, since I'm seeing it and well... Trends are neat.
25 Games to Know me! Really it's repurposed from a top 25 games (in no particular order) list, but it was really a matter of a couple of recent changes to it, because everything on this list defines me in some way.

Oh no. Ooooooh noooo. There's a new Super Sonico body pillow cover.
Folks? Is it bad I really want it? It's 14300 yen, which is just shy of like 100 USD.

From the man himself? He left Blizzard in 2016 (because he, and I paraphrase, crabbing hated it there) and now works for OffBrand Games as a publishing advisor making minimum wage - per his request because he couldn't legally work for free. But otherwise he's fully independent.

I have said goodbye to one of my pet rats today.
No one tells you that finally letting go and burying a pet is one of the hardest parts. Goodbye my friend, Simon. I may not have been the best owner for you, I hope I was good. And I hope you're happy on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

For reference on Amazon, Tears of the Kingdom physical is normally 7200 yen (~$49). Sure that's 1780 yen less than 8980, this is technically being bought from a store that isn't Nintendo directly and still lines up roughly with the $70/80/90 US price point. Conversions notwithstanding.
