HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Hey Y'all,
Chad here!

With an update on the Wednesday Schedule. When we get back from break Wednesdays will be for "Squid Game"!
Wish the gals luck!

---------------

I’ve got a mix of good news and not-so-great news to share. As some of you may have noticed, the team’s been running a bit threadbare lately. Since we started this channel about three years ago, we’ve been grinding non-stop. It’s in our nature to push hard, but we’ve realized that the energy we bring to our reactions is just as important as the work we put in.

So, here’s the plan:
We’re taking a much-needed mental health break over the holidays for the next three weeks. We’ll resume recording during the week of January 13th.

What this means for you:

We’re also taking this time to reflect, recharge, and plan for 2025—plus give the crew a chance to fully enjoy the holidays with their loved ones.

Merry Christmas to all of you! If you choose to pause your support during this break, we completely understand, and we’ll look forward to seeing you again in three weeks, energized and ready to rock.

We love you all, and we can’t wait to bring you our best in the new year. Thanks for being the amazing community that you are.

See you soon! :)
-Team Diegesis

Are the girls going to react to Wicked?

Oof at this point I honestly recommend you wait until Season 3 comes out in June, although I guess it depends how long it takes to get through 16 episodes by that time. Get the tissues ready either way.

Oh, yes, for the watch along. I didn't want to reply because until I had time to check because I remember this being an issue with Shogun. Basically in Shogun there were two different sets of subtitles, the English subtitles for English speaking were in the typical black box at the bottom. However the English subtitles for Japanese were hardcoded in yellow on the screen itself, which was obscured by your copyright watermark. Which for some reason wasn't the case for me, there were no hardcoded subs and everything was being handled by the player. I actually had to torrent the show so I could control the subs in the media player, but then I had sync issues due to the frame rate and just gave up. I can't remember how Squid Game handled subtitles in the UK, but they can be very weird. If they're hardcoded (burned-in) then obviously there's no problem, but if the subtitles are handled by the player itself, then when you pop out the player you lose the subtitles, because it keeps them in the browser window you popped the player out of. Problem is every platform is different, even the same platform in different countries seem to do things differently. I just remembered thinking it would solve so many issues if that one little bit of your watermark wasn't there, so I could just follow the subs on your screen. It's a very common issue, it's probably the reason most anime reactors play Russian roulette with copyright just leaving everything uncensored.

ya know i dont think i understood what you meant the first time but do you mean for the watch along? in that case yeah, we can try to clear the bottom where the subtitles are for sure.

Chad Gloria

We are trying to plan for it. if you see our Shogun reactions, we basically keyed out and overlaid the subtitles so we're planning on doing that again. good concern though ~ Chad

Chad Gloria

Love Squid Game, think it will be an awesome reaction. I do however have one very practical concern. Can you maybe not obscure the subtitles? A lot of players when you pop them out to place over the reaction, leave the subtitles in the original window. This is an occasional annoyance of mine with Game of Thrones, but could render Squid Game unwatchable. I still haven't got around to watching Shogun because of this.

Woz Lee

season 1, but we can go right into season 2 after which is nice

Chad Gloria

Season 1 of Squid Game, or have they seen that before and its right into season 2?

Nathan Steele

awesome. the dub for squid game is good, but the sub is a lot better and the mouth being off is super annoying lol

Camden Marr

definitely subs. when it comes to animation i'm a bit of a dub man myself, but anything live actions gotta be subs. you've got to capture the original performance and lip synching being off is mad distracting to me.

Chad Gloria

do you guys know if you’re watching squid game in english dub or the original korean yet?

Camden Marr

Merry Christmas and I will see you guys in the new year, enjoy your time off!

Owen Kosik

squid game! love that show. and season 2 is coming out tomorrow so i’m sure that’s why yall are starting it. definitely gonna be an interesting reaction lol. and a sad one. i think you will like it though. merry christmas!

Camden Marr

Chad, Arianna, & Maple, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! Enjoy your well-deserved holiday break!!! See ya in 2025!

Chris Bruneau

This is very good. Just plan on this every year

Eric Wallace

This is a good idea! I pitched this elsewhere but imo you should take 2/3 week hiatus over christmas holidays and a hiatus in the summer, and you can announce them in advance in case it affects people financially or whatever. people would know it was coming up each year. the team could plan longer holiday getaways too cuz everyone would be off. food for thought! Have a great break! 💖

Kara

You all deserve the rest for sure! Enjoy the holidays!

Bradford

you guys deserve this break. i hope you all enjoy your christmas. this will also give me time to catch up on the GoT reactions. i’m really far behind lol

Happy Holidays! Take care and have a wonderful break!
