>>93596702NTA, but I tried to and failed. I had every intention to keep up with the girls I liked, but Ame leaving just kinda made me realize how little they meant to me without Ame being there as the "lens" through which I could view and appreciate them. I'm very upset towards Ame for throwing away that opportunity to interact with all of these new girls, but at the same time for some reason none of the new girls (or old ones for that matter) strike the butter zone Ame did.
And given the only other two Holo girls I'd be willing to watch are completely absent from streaming there isn't even really any reason to watch the ones I'm only lukewarm on anyway.It just feels like such a waste. It felt like things were JUST moving in a great direction for Hololive right as she dropped the bombshell of her leaving. I had so much optimism towards the company and its future and it feels like all of that was wasted. It's so unfortunate that she just decided to make herself an island relative to all of the girls she came to know and love over the years, outright refusing to interact with them in an official capacity while not really replacing them with anybody or anything comparable, because man are indies not the same as Hololive in the slightest.
Sorry to bring the thread mood down. I need to probably find a better way to spend my time compared to watching streams, but after four years of streams being my main mood stabilizer it's been very hard to try and find anything else to replace it. The experience of /hlgg/, of all the girls, all the fun times and interaction I got to have with fellow fans and the things they loved... it's all disappeared like dust in the wind, quicker than I wanted it to but more painfully than I'd hope for it to.
