Notes
  1. Peak chart position of Hello Chapter 1: Hello, Stranger (Japanese ver.) on Oricon Albums Chart.
gollark: Suuuure.
gollark: Arguably quite a lot are. Depending on things, you may end up suffering more overhead trying to split up work, merge your parts back together, maintain multiple copies of things, communicate, and that sort of thing, than you would just doing all of it yoursel.
gollark: Nobody knows. It's just abstract philosophy right now.
gollark: Use an existing image editor and screen sharing thing at the same time?
gollark: Given that nobody is really sure how consciousness works (or, well, lots of people seem to be sure, but they disagree with each other and there isn't really empirical evidence).
