is DKC actually that hard
lucid python
Tryin super hard to beat Stage 2 Hard in HoloCure. I've had the most luck with Fauna, Sana, and Mumei (and one surprisingly good Shion run) but Nodoka is tough and you'll die long before you get to her if you have bad level rolls or don't build well
I've done it before, I just can't remember who I beat it with and how, also Nodoka wasn't always the final boss so it may have been easier previously

Tryin super hard to beat Stage 2 Hard in HoloCure. I've had the most luck with F...
I can breeze through stage 2 hard mode with fauna almost all the way up to the final boss with minimal difficulties, and then the actual problem starts, and that's with the thing that lets you use only one weapon
I think that taught me the importance of fixating on upgrading weapons you have more than spreading it out. Also Fauna is insanely tough you dont need much luck with her
Hell she can handle having the injection type asacoco
Since she gets plenty of healing
Though I've beaten stage 2 with all the characters in a gachikoi run but it wasnt easy with some of them
But I beat the stage with fauna many times by now so I know she's a good candidate if you're just trying to beat the stage
empty night
hell idk if the reason i had that much difficulty with nodoka with one weapon might have been because i was so bored of most of the level so it was jarring when an actual challenge happened

I can't believe these guys aren't doing official Hololive stuff

the animation is insane

like cover corp, please give them money and resources
though they're super specific with their branding in terms of art style and allowed character changes so I'm unsure
but if the additional 3d models they have are cool then this should be too?
sharp adder
lol carrying gooba like a baby
Well Kanauru has done official stuff for Hololive after doing fan animations for a long time but he still doing his stuff without changing much of anything really and it seems like rather than being ''hired'' for Cover or anything like that it's just mostly hired by the girls themselves who basically just commission videos made for them
The music video for Kiara I'm pretty sure she just commissioned Kanauru to do
cold plover
sharp adder
The only problem is people not liking this style or the style not fitting in with Hololive's official models and styles even in their animations
but nobody in their right mind would dislike the style of these guys, I like these designs and style way more than the moe anime style of the official models

they introduce a ton of unique character

Honestly same
Fuwamoco and Kobo have moments where it's clear they're adults with complex and coherent thought processes fitting of professionals who have been doing entertainment for a while... and then Fuwamoco has a bunk bed and Kobo says "Merci beaucoup" in response to hearing Kiara speaks German.

Okay saying Sidon/See-don instead of Sai-don/Sy-don is actually fine
north siren
to be fair, proper nouns are a minefield of shibboleths in any language
north siren
shibboleth noun
a custom, principle, or belief distinguishing a particular class or group of people, especially a long-standing one regarded as outmoded or no longer important.
on the internet, most often refers to words whose pronunciation is only obvious to a particular group, especially after https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOd3lwluQIw
sharp adder
Oohhh got it yeah
I mean yeah we'd say Sidon/See-don in spanish so I understand that one
But saying cha-sm instead of ka-sm is at least one level above that
but I understand, because for a spanish speaker english is full of those insanely weird rules and inconsistencies that we mostly don't have 
north siren
when I first learned Spanish and Japanese, the consistency of pronunciation was very refreshing
the worst it ever gets in Japanese is... I guess there's the one kana that's sometimes ha and sometimes wa, and there's a bunch of obvious shortenings like he -> e, wo -> o, etc, but that's really it for pronunciation gotchas
(assuming of course you consider kanji readings to be a separate category of issues)
sharp adder
I want to assume based on previous random knowledge that you could get away with a pronunciation mishap like that especially if you say the word very fast because often times I noticed native japanese will kind of ''skip'' over some characters sometimes especially if they talk very quickly
but mostly that's the reason why japanese is supposedly much easier for spanish speakers to learn than english speakers and viceversa since you don't have to not only re-learn a new way to formulate sentences but an entirely new way to even pronounce things that isn't consistent
Japanese people will have a clear accent but they can sound pretty natural speaking spanish
north siren
iirc the set of vowel sounds in particular is almost the same?
I've also heard that Filipino is sort of inbetween Japanese and Spanish
sharp adder
hmmm I wouldn't say that but there's definitely a lot of spanish influence on the language in that region for sure
I don't think that languages from that area have a lot in common with japanese but then again I don't speak those languages
but yes the whole pronunciation and vowels and stuff in spanish and japanese is similar enough to the point where it's not that hard at all to start speaking correctly
but with english you'd have a lot more trouble
''Prometo amarte más que ayer, pero no tanto como mañana''
Matsuri:
''uwaah''
north siren
the struggle there with "qu" in particular is interesting
sharp adder
Mmm, I don't know if it's a particularly confusing thing but sentences with stuff like ''qui'' or ''gui'' don't pronounce the U sound unless it's a Ü like in Pingüino (Penguin)
sharp adder
The 'problem' there is that the translator is using castilian spanish and in that spanish and in galician they have what we call a ''seseo'' which is basically for when the S, C and Z all share the same sound
and it's particularly noticeable with Gracias which phonetically would sound roughly like ''Grathiash''
roughly
so she was probably trying to mimick that sound
Korone sounds pretty much native in this clip for example
(and adorable as hell but that's redundant)
north siren
every time someone says supein-go my brain goes "why is 'spanish' not pronounced 'spain-ish'?"
sharp adder
Without looking it up I'm going to assume that at some point it was maybe like that but then because words morph over time it just morphed into Span which is probably easier and quicker to say
English speakers: i've studied spanish all my life, I can talk to latinos now
Latinos: vamos a jugar play?
ya me voy a ir yendo
north siren
lol
oh well, every language has bits that sounds like that when you're not fluent yet
sharp adder
Without looking it up I'm going to assume that at some point it was maybe like t...
And looking this up, I was right, Spanish came from Spainisc from Old English I think
sharp adder
the whole ''ta'' thing from my country specifically is my favourite about the whole ''this won't make sense unless you're very fluent or native in the language''
north siren
I like !taaa!
too bad I don't have a language with upside down marks installed
mm, mmm, mm-hmm, and mm-mmm come to mind
sharp adder
''okay'' to me seems like the closest english equivalent to this word since it can be used for so much
''okay!''
''okaayy!!!!''
''okay''
''okay.....''
''okay?''
''okay okay!!''
twilit viper
Or "fuck"
north siren
small words get repurposed a lot
twilit viper
"Fuck the fucking fucker". Perfectly understandable and legit sentence
sharp adder
Kind of but at that point you're conjugating the word differently
''ta'' by itself used differently can mean a lot of different things but you don't change it, which is why I used ''okay'' as an example

something about a vtuber avatar being fully animated in 3D space as fluidly as a real person confuses certain parts of my brain about how many nested layers of unreality are in play here

the computer won't allow her to turn off the parental control settings so she has to get around them everytime 
sharp adder

for me it scratches that part of my brain that wants to see them as fluidly as possible without all the jank of current 3D stuff (not to mention 2D/live2d stuff) , the animation has a lower FPS rate but the movement and expressions are so good it's like what I wished their 3D streams looked like
north siren
personally I'm surprised at how fluid the actual avatars are these days
at least as far as face and head movements, usually the arms and legs are just taped on
sharp adder
the new live2d update is much better than what it was before but it's still something I 'put up with' rather than something I'm impressed by or enjoy
the jank of 3D usually gives you hilarious results like this
north siren
lol
I guess that's a situation where I'm not sure what I would want to happen
there are a lot of "immersion breaking" things vtubers do, like humorous avatar edits/positions, that usually only enhances the experience in practice
sharp adder
also apparently the animator from that calli animation is a videogame animator and it shows
