On a unrelated note, MIRAI Group - the organization I run in Second Life and elsewhere, has released test footage of stress tests on the Aditi Grid using AWS. You can also see my interview relating to our findings on Wagner James Au's website, New World Notes.

Yes, I can't keep a promise for shit, but I have made some personal promises. My old account is permanently gone. And even if I could get it back, I don't want it. 1. I'm not getting involved in Politics anymore. No more of that shit. Second Life, Eroge/Anime artists, and topics of interest are what I will be tweeting about, and nothing else. I won't be following back people anymore unless for a specific reason. Sorry, my feed was a hot mess last time around, and I want no part of my past transgressions on that site. 2. I'm going to minimize my time on that site. Twitter is not installed on any device and is only accessible via my desktop. 3. Eventually I will release personal tidbits of my old account's tweets for old times' sake to look back at what you'd say were my 'best moments'. Other than that, not much else.

Today a friend of mine brought a tweet to my attention on my discord server, from none other than the man, the myth, the meme himself, EmperorLemon.  In it, he declares that he is 'quarantining himself from twitter'. I think his words did better than explaining my departure better than I ever could have imagined to formulate:   The past few months on this site have been the worst I've ever seen. Last month I muted every single account on my feed because the amount of frothing rage and vitriol I witnessed on a daily basis were mentally taxing. The silence was bliss. At that point I realized that I would be better off just not engaging with any content on this site. I tried to return to business as usual, but this site has simply become irredeemable to me. The people on this site are the absolute scourge of humanity, and I mean that without a shred of irony or hyperbole. It's insufferable. People like to gossip about "infamous" online places like 4chan, Kiwifarm
