@repeatro@mastodon.social Hello from Mbin! I found the stream through @owncast@fedia.io which boosts posts with the Owncast tag. I want Owncast to succeed, so I'm glad to see a good stream like yours.

Seems legit to me. I found a 2017 Twitter post with this in it.

Yellow and orange.

For years, this was my Internet white whale. I wrote about my search for this source here.

For years, mine was this gif I saw on UsVsTh3m in 2013. It had no context, and the only hint to its origin was the barely legible "29. 暑〜い!" overlay. I had a guess that this was from a Japanese TV talent show. I wanted to find the original video, but the trail went cold.

Years later, I don't know how, I heard of a series of Japanese TV specials called Kesou Taishou, known overseas as Masquerade. UsVsTh3m got bought by the Mirror and their post was taken down, but I still had the gif. My Google Translate research skills had improved, so I looked up Masquerade on Japanese Wikipedia and searched all the episode guides for 暑〜い!, and in the shows from 2007, I found it! It was entry 29 in the 78th special, and it won third place there.

I try not to post things that don't have a legal source, so I quietly updated my blog post and didn't mention it anywhere else. Until...

Three months ago, my partner started getting YouTube recommendations for this show. I checked, and the show's new official YouTube channel had just uploaded this performance a few days earlier. I made a better gif of it and posted it to !gifs@lemmy.world , and they liked it!

Somebody hire this animator! I couldn't imagine how long it took to animate thousands of bullets and 3 1/2 people in 3D with that level of fluid motion.

I made a GIF of this scene.

Well done! You made your opponent so afraid of your queen that they didn't notice your pawn going in for the fork.

Come to a good city that hasn't fallen to the fascists. Here in Columbus, we're fairly insulated from the psychopaths who don't care who they hurt. That stuff doesn't fly here. We actually have some compassion for our neighbors here.

Well, I thought it was upside-down, but those fish are rightside-up relative to the viewer. It's just another surreal Amei Zhao water situation.

Holy crap, that sucks! Why can't those scrapers just scrape each other? I'm sorry, I didn't want to pressure you to open up to that kind of abuse. I want to think of ways to help this situation, but you're probably 10 steps ahead of me. Thank you for trying so hard.
