3, 2, 1, post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the genders of the Aeons in Honkai Star Rail. For those of you who don't know, Aeons are godlike beings, and they're all canonically genderless. This is likely because they just have no reason to have a gender. No matter how masculine or feminine one looks, they're still genderless beings. However, the one argued over the most is Yaoshi. Even though Yaoshi is one of the most ambiguous Aeons, players often argue with each other over Yaoshi being a female. This is just completely ridiculous, since Yaoshi is actually supposed to look genderless. They have both masculine and feminine traits, and they're noticeably lacking anything that would absolutely confirm their gender. For example, Yaoshi has soft features, but they have a flat chest and somewhat more masculine torso. There's masculine and feminine traits for Yaoshi, so it feels silly to argue about it just because people don't want to say "they". The Aeons aren't humans, so this shouldn't even be an argument. Many people bring up quotes from trailers that supposedly use gendered pronouns, but these are often mistranslated; because the original lines always use the genderless terms for gods when referring to Aeons. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I wanted to talk about this because it's such a silly argument to have over fictional gods who are genderless. Real genderless gods exist in religions, so I don't understand why this is even an argument. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about character types in Zenless Zone Zero. One of the reasons I like this game is because it has such a wide variety of different characters. There are so many unique designs, even if they're just background characters. However, many people believe there are only a few different types of characters in this game. The three main groups are humans, thirens, and intelligent constructs. I disagree with this though. There are a lot of different characters that aren't any of these three things, and it isn't really explained why. Because of this, I think the human category is actually human-like things. Instead of it including only humans, it includes anything that looks like a human, but doesn't fit into the other two options. This would make a lot more sense, especially since other characters are still being revealed. This would make it easier to sort characters until all of them are officially confirmed. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the HoYoPlay launcher. It's pretty well-known that HoYoverse is the one who makes Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero. But did you know you can easily download any HoyoVerse game you want on your computer? If you download the HoYoPlay launcher, you can easily download, remove, or update any HoYoverse game you want. Their games are all free to play, so this makes it even easier to play them. You can download the HoYoPlay launcher easily on your computer, as well. I highly recommend this for anyone who plays more than one HoYoverse game on their computer. As always, I'll be including a link for the download page below. Enjoy!

Why are Hatsune Miku, Akita Neru, and Kasane Teto used together so often? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! It's really common to see these three singing together in songs, especially recently. It started with the song Triple Baka, and they've been used together ever since. There are a few reasons why they're used together so often. Firstly, they're recognizable. Their colors also match well together, since they represent the primary colors. Along with this, they each represent something different. Hatsune Miku is a Vocaloid, Kasane Teto is an Utauloid, and Akita Neru is a fan-made Vocaloid. So using them all together is like using every part of the Vocaloid fandom. This is why they're often used for songs even to this day. Since they've been showing up together more often again, I wanted to talk about this today. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

What is Hamtaro? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Hamtaro was an anime series where cute hamsters go on adventures. It's named after the main character, as well. The show only ran for a few years, and unfortunately it didn't do very well outside of Japan after the episodes stopped getting English dubbed. However, it was still very popular in the early 2000's, and you could find it on the internet pretty often. It was another big part of kawaii culture, too. Many people think it faded away and disappeared, but it didn't. In Japan, you can still get Hamtaro merchandise even to this day. Hamtaro is still pretty popular if you know where to look. Since Hamtaro is starting to become popular again, I wanted to talk about it today. I highly recommend it, since it's always been one of my favorite series. As a little bonus, here's a picture from the Hamtaro anime. Enjoy!

It's post time! Recently another human-like robot has been created in China. She's extremely realistic, and her name is Moya. Some people are excited, others are creeped out. This is a common problem with human-like robots. Because of this, I think these robots shouldn't look exactly like humans. Instead, I think they should look like anime characters. A big reason why anime is popular is because the characters are attractive. They're like humans, without being an exact match. I think using a face resembling anime would get rid of most of the uncanny valley effect. Not only this, but it would allow things like Vocaloids to get physical bodies so they can perform better and meet fans in real life. I also think there would be a bigger use for anime-like robots than realistic ones; like conventions, meet and greets, or fan gatherings. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
