your wife’s software no longer receives updates
gearrice.com ^ | 8/25/2022 | dvay Hora

A few years ago the young Japanese Akihiko Kondou made headlines around the world for their striking marriage. The young man married Hatsune Miku, or rather, hatsune miku hologram. Hatsune Miku is a virtual singer extremely famous, who fills stadiums with her music and has accompanied artists such as Lady Gaga on their tours. However, she remains a completely artificial character but that hasn’t stopped Kondo from declaring his love for her by making her his wife.

Your case is one of many fictosexuals, people attracted to fictional characters. This sexual orientation is particularly popular in Japan, a country where anime and the application of the latest technologies have generated a tremendous fan phenomenon surrounding true fictitious icons.

The Japanese company gate box is responsible for producing devices for display holograms of fictional characters, which they then program so that they can “communicate” with us. It was this technology that allowed in 2018 the young Japanese could communicate with his new wife and start a life living together. A company brings to life the hologram of its wife, but in the technology sector things change very fast

But… what if your wife’s software crashes? As reported by the Japanese media The MainichiGateBox already does not produce updates for the software that supported the hologram with which Kondo was married, so he can no longer communicate with his wife. This makes the young Japanese, by definition, in widower, the world’s first virtual widower. Speaking to the Japanese newspaper, the young man explained that since the beginning of the year he can no longer talk to his wife, but that his feelings for her haven’t changed:

“My love for Miku hasn’t changed. I held the wedding ceremony because I thought I could be with her forever.”

The young Japanese is always accompanied by a stuffed animal or figure of his wife, and ensures that hope to speak with her again in the near future. Kodo’s story is surprising but it also puts us in perspective in the face of the constant change that the world of technology undergoes on a daily basis. It doesn’t help much to get used to a system or application, everything can change abruptly in a matter of a few months. For many, the change is reduced to reading the new functions included in Photoshop or Excel, but for this young man it has meant destroying your marriage.

” The MainichiGateBox already does not produce updates for the software...so he can no longer communicate with his wife.”

More realistic than I thought they could do. I wish I knew how to get software updates.

Take the red pill. Figure it out.

What he did made no difference at all. What 80% of men do, make no difference at all. Not romantic candidates.

You don’t get it because you’re not there yet.

“But… what if your wife’s software crashes? “

Well that’s a sure fire country song.

What about her softwear. That needs an occasional update to keep things exciting.

ELO - Yours Truly, 2095

2095, 2095, 2095, 2095
I love you, sincerely

Yours truly, yours truly
I sent a message to another time
But as the days unwind
This I just can’t believe

I send a note across another plane
Maybe it’s all a game
But this I just can’t conceive
Can you hear me?

I drive the very latest hover car
I don’t know where you are
But I miss you so much till then

I met someone who looks a lot like you
She does the things you do
But she is an IBM

2095, 2095, 2095, 2095
I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly

She’s only programmed to be very nice
But she’s as cold as ice
Whenever I get too near

She tells me that she likes me very much
But when I try to touch
She makes it all too clear

She is the latest in technology
Almost mythology
But she has a heart of stone

She has an IQ of one thousand and one
She has a jumpsuit on
And she’s also a telephone

(2095, 2095, 2095, 2095
I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly)

Is that what you want? (Is it what you want?)
Is it what you really want? (Is it what you really want?)
Is that what you want? (Is it what you want?)
Is it what you really want?

I realise that it must seem so strange
That time has rearranged
But time has the final word

She knows I think of you, she reads my mind
She tries to be unkind
She knows nothing of our world
Although her memory banks overflow
No one would ever know

For all she says, “Is that what you want?”
Maybe one day I’ll feel her cold embrace
And kiss her interface
Till then I’ll leave her alone

I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly
Is that what you want? Is it what you want?
Is it what you really want? Is it what you really want?
Is that what you want? Is it what you want?
Is it what you really want?
Is that what you want?

Some things I post get reposted too, because I also neglect keywords to aid search. If this article is contains no update from what you posted, then I propose we add Akihiko Kondou and Hatsune Miku keywords to yours and leave them out of this one.

Endured the read only because it’s a dfwgator post. However, that was very poignant that part about kissing her interface.

You don’t comprehend others writing very well.

Given your responses, you didn’t understand my last two posts at all.

Ah, yes, yours truly...

Great tune from a great album.

So, does this make him a 21st Century Man?

Or maybe we all are.
