Needy Streamer Overload is a 2022 denpa-inspired visual novel video game created by Japanese developer Xemono and published by WSS Playground for macOS, Microsoft Windows, and Nintendo Switch. The player takes on the role of a manager for a female livestreamer, making decisions for her so that she can achieve her goal of reaching one million followers within a month. The game was initially titled Needy Girl Overdose, but this was changed in preparation for the western release, keeping its original title in Japan.

Practicing Japanese through VrChat

https://www.reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/comments/b8727z/practicing_japanese_through_vrchat/

I do know worlds to practice in!!!! I go on all the time. Ok there is one called "Fantasy Shukaijou," I believe that is how it is spelt but if not, I'm happy to go on VR chat with someone and lead them to it. Its absolutely full of natives and they are really awesome and welcoming there. Another is 1619, also again blanking slightly on the precise name but I'd be happy to take anyone there, just PM me. This world is filled with less native speakers and more of other people trying to learn Japanese. There are native speakers of course, but you will find more English speakers there as well. Those two are basically the main ones, I would say Japan Shrine but that was recently deleted so most natives have scattered recently. ​ EDIT: Pm me if you want me to lead you to any of these. A few of the worlds mentioned are now down but they have been replaced by new ones, I'd be happy to show people!
