his voice of the report of the week podcast (VORW) helped me remain calm on my travels to Finland in january.
the calmth of his voice makes chaotic scenarios like picking up your bag from the dropoff or a plane taking off feel way more relaxed. it's like having an understanding friend with you that just rambles about things he likes to distract you from the busyness of everyday life.

Rachel and Jun's channel is really comfy, especially their travel videos. They regularly travel to different parts of Japan, do some sightseeing and upload the best parts on Youtube. Rachel can get a bit too excited at times, but she and Jun are both very likable people!

I found a blind minecraft playthrough, run by a japanese youtuber known as "PiroPito", who seems to be more well known for creepy/horror content.
He's playing 100% blind, no wiki. It's really interesting seeing someone completely new to the game exploring it in their own way. It also seems like he's one of those players who takes the game to an extreme, doing absurdly time consuming tasks just for the sake of it? Just as an example, in the most recent video (#76) he decides to demolish a ~14000 block sky bridge just because he wanted the beginning of it to be centered at 0,0 in the world coordinates. It seems that he's trying to build this bridge to reach x coordinate 1 million?
The videos are pretty quiet, it's comfy watching him naively bumble through the world.
Here's the playlist for the entire thing if anyone is interested.

>>3650 and in my original text i mentioned how the chinese channel felt like it a hidden purpose mainly because of the directing but i didn't word it properly and erased it.
Editing is not so hard to learn, the software you can pirate and there are many chinese on youtube but the direction of her videos are way too good. Of course since she is chinese the first thing we assume is 'government' but it may be something else.
The vietnamese girl, on the other hand, uses only simple camera angles and her transitions are only focused on what is important for the cooking in that moment, besides the little mini-stories at the end. Plus her whole channel is in vietnamese.
It looks like she has some financial aid, probably from a company, but nothing major or maybe she or someone in her family studies or studied visual media.
Honestly, thinking about those things is cool but at face-value both channels are cool too.

>I want to listen the finished tune now but i think she is too influenced by samba.I don't know much about bossa nova (any recommendations would be appreciated!) but she also did one on funk before where the final piece didn't sound funk at all. I think her goal is more to compose something inspired by these genres rather than trying to replicate them. I still like the end result even if it doesn't sound much like the genre it's based on

>>8846A pervasive hagiography has grown around Cicero and his writings, which I think is largely because of the outsize influence they had on the Renaissance and Enlightenment, but he really was pretty important in his day. He can rightfully be called the father of Latin rhetoric, and by extension of the western rhetorical tradition as a whole, and was recognized as such during his life even by Caesar himself. It was his misfortune to have been born a Roman in the twilight of the republic.
I think because he mostly focuses on warfare and specific political events the video guy ended up glossing over a lot of that without realizing that because most of his viewers aren't classicists the name Cicero doesn't have the weight he thinks it does.

No.11120
>>11113I'm not the guy you're responding to but parasocial relationships has become a recent target of study in sociology and psychology because of the unique way that internet celebrities and their fans relate to one another. Because these relationships more closely resemble personal friendships and experiences, certain individuals develop a feeling as though the person they are watching IS their friend and someone they know, even though the person they're watching doesn't know them as n individual. This kind of relationship is deemed "parasocial" because it artificially conjures social related feelings in the watcher despite no real social relationship existing. It's an interesting phenomenon but it's not a "silly word" and to some of the viewers these people are more than "entertainers" - they really do feel a social bond with these strangers. There is no social distance between viewers and streamers like there was with stars and fans - this means less obsessive worship, but greater feelings of social bond despite none existing.

I mentioned parasocial relations because I've met people who are emotionally attached to entertainers as if they were real friends with them (e.g. keeping track of who they're dating, keeping track of who's in their friend group, and, as in this case, who they've slept with.) This isn't really a new idea since gossip magazines have been around for about a century, but I feel alienated by how we can spend our lives thinking about people who don't even know we exist.But I know people are free to do what they want, which is why I usually keep it to myself (not in these few posts, though. I kind of let loose and barfed all over this nice thread, sorry.) There's nothing wrong with "parasocial relationships." I don't want to stop my friends from doing the things they enjoy because I have made some funny observation about it. Heck, I didn't want to get all "up in your' face" with all the sushis here, which is why I cut myself short.I like watching Akihito Yoshitomi. His sketches are very comfy to watch.
