[ JAPANESE INTERNET CULTURE ][ MACHINE CULTURE ]
A quick, casual sign-off meaning roughly "good work" or "thanks for the effort," used at the end of a stream, gaming session, or task — a clipped abbreviation of the fuller polite phrase otsukaresama (deshita).
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Stream's over, otsu everyone."
LORE & ORIGIN
Standard Japanese workplace/social vocabulary (otsukaresama, "you must be tired [from your effort], thank you") compressed into a one-syllable internet/gaming shorthand "otsu" (乙), used identically to how English speakers might just type "gg" or "nice work."
