the hard part about talking about yumemita is the multiple levels of kayfabe that is happening. you've got on one level a show about vtuber girls in a band, and on a second level you get those same vtubers as actual streamers who are voicing the fictional versions of themselves in the show.

am glad my sleeping schedule is right now is around 11am-7pm because I don't think I'd be able to do any work during the day with how hot it is this week.
just finished watching, definitely enjoyable! I did eventually come around on the characters as the show went on, just took a while to get there (and honestly the addition of chin-lan in the second half helped so much). The direction remained real fun throughout, ended up being my fav of the season.
the kamiina botan anime is interesting because i feel like at this point i'm watching it purely for the craft and to see what kind of directorial decisions are made each week, since they decided to basically give each episode's director almost free reign.
started playing "rhapsody - a musical adventure" and wow what a charming game so far. I love the ambition to make a silly fairytale shoujo romance that's half musical and half jrpg.
rewatched the revue starlight movie this evening, i think i needed this. one of those things that makes you really want to work on your own stuff
marty sears's final puzzle for his sudoku rat run series looks incredibly intimidating, I don't know that I want to sink half a day into it or not yet (the low estimates I've seen have been around 4 hours), but they do tend to be a joy to solve. Something to consider tomorrow probably.
on this 6/7 day, I take a moment of silence for the variant sudoku solvers and mahjong players I sometimes watch for the trials this number has thrust upon them.
Just watched don hertzfeldt's new short 'paper trail', was really good!!
maybe one day ill understand how people draw in procreate, but I miss the warm comfort of my tiny wacom and krita (which I sadly can't bring with me while traveling).

yay for witch hat atelier day! Been looking forward to this for years
it may be tdov, but the only place you'll see me is curled up in bed being too sleepy to function.
after doing a ton of physical work I would have assumed that should be able to sleep soundly, right? somehow have been up for over 28 hours instead.
accidentally spilt a ton of rice in a place I couldn't vacuum. after I swept most of it up I started picking them up individually and thought to myself 'this is what being a vampire must really be like'
I made another one. vtubers are just fun to make and I was thinking doing something kinda chibi would be fun. Good way to destress after the rush of making 2 games over the past 4ish months.
Saw a crow cross the street using a crosswalk earlier today and had to draw it.
New game done! you're a fairy finding these tiny little guys. Made for the sleepless domain discord community's yearly game jam. lilac-galaxy.itch.io/windy-day-tr...

Hourlies day! We'll see how much I can do since I'm a little busy working on game jam, but it's always nice to just document stuff.
In the '60s, an all-star team of Soviet artists assembled -- including Yuri Norstein. Together, they crafted a gentle, quiet gem called The Mitten. It's lovely stop motion, and it laid the groundwork for the team's later Cheburashka. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/a-film-for...
sometimes i have fun drawing and sometimes i just get brain goblins that need to be excised by making them real.

Happy 1 year since debut to Nimi! Love this silly tapir nurse. #nimagery
happy new year! i'm not entirely sure what i want to do for this coming year, but i also had no idea what i wanted to do last year and still ended up having fun (learned godot, learned blender, created my own face tracking plugin for live2d, wrote a short vn, and generally enjoyed making things).
