I don’t know what the reason for downvoting this post is. But mayhaps funneling a few fediverse comments on an official channel will at least put this place on the map, so to speak, for the Japanese language-first media we are fans of?

How long before I can order them and grow my own shoe? Exciting stuff!

It’s the TOHO animation channel though, where they don’t have comments turned on.

Until very recently, they even cut short music videos on their channel artificially.

Methinks they are not very good at this promotional thing in the Internet age. Definitely not the Oshi no Ko channel in terms of marketing prowess.

What better way for Holo to join us in the Reiwa era, than to have her own VTuber model to hawk goods. Episode 1 of Holo the Wisewolf’s YouTuber debut!

Some things I learnt from watching the promotional event (restricted to Japan it seems) at Anime Japan. Do correct me if it seems I misunderstood or misremembered some parts of the interview:

• The production crew is making the distinction between the earlier adaptation and the remake by referring to them as 平成版 (Heisei-era version) or 令和版 (Reiwa-era version).

• Koshimizu Ami mentions everyone from novel-only, Heisei-era, to now Reiwa-era enjoyers to find pleasure in the versions they like, without trying to compare which versions are superior.

• Koshimizu Ami expresses that she feels the years in the industry, and just gaining more life experience itself, will allow her to portray a Holo with more maturity with just the right balance of childishness.

• Nakahara Mai is replaying Norah with the idea that this is a different Norah from a different work.

For real, that nostalgia hit slowly crept up on me as I realised what song Fuwamoco was covering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp2f8iIZrdY&t=7705s

Rain. We are saved! MET really accurate with their prediction.

Reminded why I hate commuting to the office. Driving for over an hour just for a one-way trip back home, is absurd. Thank goodness I insist on 99% work from home.

The week’s almost over. Hope you are holding up well there.

Remember if it doesn’t work out, quitting is always an option.

Just go all the way and abolish the state. If statists hate states so much just let the anarchists run things already.

There has to be a mod rule against reading things in the most bad faith way.

If an overt call to carve up and eat billionaires is needed, I am most happy to supply my own personal philosophy, that I am vegan except if I get to eat the rich (literally).

The red superchats being paid in 5 figures will probably be a big tell.

Thank you for sharing this talk! Literally sweating as the ramifications started to hit me while watching it. Probably the most profound video I have watched in many years.

Whoa this is awesome! Thanks!

I may be at a loss as to how everything fits together. I was trying to get SD running for months on TW before I gave up. Then just booted Ubuntu and it worked. So I always assumed it was something kernel related since upstream only supports the non-rolling distros.

What I need is probably an up-to-date write-up that is distro specific to TW. Meanwhile, I will probably try to compile ROCm and follow the suggestion in https://slrpnk.net/comment/2780338 and try to get rocm-opencl-runtime working.

Oh neat. Thanks for the clarification. Maybe that’s all I need to do to patch my TW system to get it working!

Good point. I will probably buy an ice-cream machine just to do this.

Okay okay so maybe being vegan and being forced to pay like 10 times the price of ice-cream where I live has something to do with it too.

Nice. I am partial towards the rolling-release model so once my new hard drive arrives, I might take the plunge and just do an Arch install. What’s the latest no-frills way to go from installation to a working system for Arch Linux derivatives?

Oh yeah. I like Nix. I have nixpkgs running on Tumbleweed too. But yeah, the base OS needs to be stable to be compatible with ROCm stuff, so that’s why I have Ubuntu installed in a separate partition.

Thanks for the suggestion. The problem is getting the ROCm kernels running. I looked into containers for ROCm support and unsurprisingly, my host OS needs it first.
