It's like a guild quest/job board

The only things I've seen a member complain about is being left out

[gilded nest]

Ah I see

[lucid python]

I recall an event Pekora organized that only had JP mems in it (I think something with Minecraft) and a couple EN mems expressed desire to be part of it, to which antis took as ammo to launch at Pekora "Why didn't you invite EN or ID? DO YOU HATE THEM!?"

[teal bear]

Pekora loves her EN Kouhais

[lucid python]

Pekora responded that she was just nervous and didn't want to approach EN or ID without being able to communicate properly

[teal bear]

It's a mess without deepL

I find it adorable that they're atleast trying to communicate lol

Some holoJP mems even try to talk in English to holoEN even when they're speaking Japanese to them too

[lucid python]

JP mems also constantly forget that there are fluent Japanese speakers in EN

[teal bear]

It's also cool to know almost all of advent and justice lives in Japan, i don't know who doesn't tho

[teal bear]

Lmao i wonder if this ever happened with baelz and mori calliope

[lucid python]

The twins and Biboo live in Japan. Nerissa is there for an extended period of time, hence taking her cat there and getting another cat, but is not living there like as a resident

[teal bear]

Biboo lives in Japan? So she let's the holoJP mems teach her yabai Japanese..

I think Raora lives in Japan too?

[lucid python]

Raora is the only of Justice that lives in Japan, yes

[teal bear]

The twins are definitely Japanese, but I wonder why they joined holoEN instead of JP

[lucid python]

The twins' first language is English. They talked about how they learned Japanese together in a Q&A stream once.

They are from Canada

[teal bear]

Wow, they're Japanese Canadian

Definitely learned it very early because they did work for a Japanese game before their fuwamoco life i think

Unlike mems like biboo and gigi who like just started learning Japanese

The more the gens dissolve, the more i realize they fit in other gens too

Baelz would slot in with Gamers just fine and Kronii in Justice

[teal bear]

https://youtube.com/shorts/PsObzgGQt5Y here's a better kronii

[north siren]

makes sense, I figured 50/50 it was on purpose

[storm heath]

remind me, apart from the meme, what does "ara ara" actually mean?

[teal bear]

"Oh my"

It's not really a sensual sentence

She got compared to pizza

[north siren]

It doesn't mean anything per se. "ara" (as well as "ma", "ara ara", "ara ma", etc) is an interjection that expresses mild surprise or amusement, most often used by women, and just antiquated enough that it's usually middle-aged or elderly women. So the de facto standard translations of "oh", "my" and "oh my" are pretty much dead on.

(where it got weird is that so much of the internet is made of dudes that think asian = porn that random words/phrases like this got associated with lewdness, when they don't actually have any such connotation in the real grass-touching world)

[teal bear]

Fun NEURO fact

She was made to play osu!lazer

[magic current]

I just noticed your katakana spells ne-o ive been pronouncing it ni-o all along (you know like the Matrix guy) noooooo

[teal bear]

Yes, it's ネオ

The reason i chose katakana... Well it's usually used for names, right?

My name despite being similar to neo* (ancient Greek) meaning new or revived form of, it's actually a misspell of Neapolitan Ice Cream specifically Neapolitan Ice Cream

[teal bear]

*And neo from Matrix

[north siren]

for non-Japanese names, yeah

the Greek word and the Matrix character name would certainly be written in katakana (if they don't outright use English/Greek)

[teal bear]

Foreign loan words and stuff

Despite hiragana making it means essentially the same, the other reason why i ended up with katakana is it looked nicer

Less lines

[north siren]

ironically, more matrix-y

[teal bear]

ねお compared to ネオ

[north siren]

bouba compared to kiki

(I always forget what Neapolitan "means"... oh it's just "from Naples")

[teal bear]

Ye that's why Neapolitan Ice Cream specifically

And why my name isn't Napo or the like

[north siren]

ah, Japanese uses ナポリ napori for the city Naples/Napoli as well as Neapolitan

[teal bear]

Naporin

I'm genius too ✨

[magic current]

It's also a common english prefix. I just chose the matrix one arbitrarily

this reminds me of ve-dal vs vidul

what a random bizarre yet incredibly charming and adorable concept

the smol holoEN versions make sense but smol + bear outfit and the ditzy attitude is so specific for a character themed around being a (fake) pirate

[sharp adder]

irys..... irys no.....

I didn't take Irys for the frugal kind, what do you mean you only have one set of bedsheets?

I don't know if it's being completely oblivious of why that's bad or maybe something like depression which would make it more worrysome

[lucid python]

I also wash my bedsheets far less often than I should

I know I need to wash them more often but I also have to pay every time I use laundry so I am the type to let laundry pile up so I can do as much at once as I can in one load

If I had my own washer and dryer I'd be washing much more often

[cold plover]

Have you tried making your bed with fruit rollups instead of sheets so you can just eat the sheets for breakfast instead of paying to wash them

[sharp adder]

well in a situation like that that any of us could be in that's understandable but... Irys can afford to just buy new bedsheets every single week if she wanted to I'm sure that's the thing...

[cold plover]

I heard a story about someone who tried that with socks and got chemical burns from stuff that’s left on new socks before you wash them

[sharp adder]

It's not like she should do that anyways, the thing is she only has one pair of bedsheets too... just get like three more and cycle through them as you wash them, I don't really go over a week using the same bedsheets personally

mmmmmmmaybe during winter where everything's colder there's less humidity so you sweat less and all but even then

[teal bear]

Is Kiara a baker or something

[teal bear]

What does this mean why can't they just idk, save money normally

[storm heath]

Attaching it to a regular activity you enjoy can make it easier to commit to savings on the regular. It's like how people listen to podcasts when exercising. They'd enjoy the podcast at any time, but by tying it to exercise they get benifits from that enjoyable thing.

You have to be able to talk to her first.

This isn't a criticism, this is a challenge

Pekora reportedly has her manager inform her if someone is coming to the room/floor she's in at the offices or studios so she can get the fuck out

[lucid python]

Her mic is actually on because you can hear rustling and scribbling, but she's not speaking

I don't know if she knows it's on

[teal bear]

I can relate to her a bit

I realize I'm very quiet on vc unless someone is with me

I don't do it consciously too, my brain just powers on and tells me to start talking when someone is in vc. Maybe i subconsciously don't want awkward silence?

~ Neuro after beating Pokemon Platinum

[teal bear]

Lmao i just watched that

Neuro was great with platinum

Are they doing all the games or just platinum because Cynthia is one of the hardest elite 4 champions

[north siren]

I assume just the one since most of these neuro game streams involve modding the game so neuro can participate

[teal bear]

Vedal might do some but imho pokemon just gets easier since Gen 4

[north siren]

for humans, sure

[teal bear]

Even for neuro, She might beat Pokémon X/Y

[north siren]

naively I'd expect navigating a 3D environment to be harder than 2D for her

but I've never watched a proper stream of her playing a game she had that much control over

[teal bear]

They're pretty much the same except X and Y has diagonals

The harder 3D games for Neuro would be the one where you're not locked to one view, Scarlet/Violet, Legends Arceus, Legends Z-A

[north siren]

I'm probably also biased by watching my parents attempt to play video games; turns out 3D is hard for some humans too

[teal bear]

No, it's a plus

I'm eyeing fuwawa

Not in the "interested" way

The "sergeant doakes" way

I know your intentions, fuwawa.

I just can't prove it yet

I've mentioned it before if one of the twins date you'd be dating two people

[lucid python]

"You can't marry two people. Polygamy is illegal in this country."
"For this marriage, Fuwamoco count as one person."

[teal bear]

This honestly taps into what Rushia was doing

Enabling her parasocial community

[north siren]

I think the other day I saw some vtuber say "I'm more parasocial than you" and I'm still not sure what that meant

[teal bear]

https://youtu.be/AtrHExX2X2s
Warning loud

[magic current]

what the hell does parasocial even mean anymore

[teal bear]

One sided relationship

[north siren]

would you believe we had a whole discussion about this the other day

[teal bear]

And the day before that

It's not only exclusive to romantic relationships too

[north siren]

apparently the new generations are gonna call it parasocial when you get a crush on your classmate and they don't like you back

[magic current]

well its one sided i guess

[teal bear]

Parasocial for me is the definition that shows up on Google

[north siren]

well, the google/wiki/etc definition is way more specific than "one-sided"

[lucid python]

Parasocial is imagining the relationship exists when it actually doesn't. A bit further than being one-sided or unrequited.

[north siren]

(it's also the definition that I'm used to and have been using and was arguing for when this first came up)

[magic current]

"even though the figure is unaware of the fan's existence"

so 1. you cant be parasocial with your fans in this definition

2. you cant be parasocial if youre an editor the streamer knows?

[north siren]

to me the important part was always that it's fundamentally an illusion of a social relationship, hence para-social

[magic current]

"I'm not parasocial, I'm posessive, delusional and obsessed. Get it right"

[north siren]

if you actually have a social relationship, like, you talk to them in the usual 1-on-1 back-and-forth way conversations work, then that's not para any more, that's just regular social

[magic current]

i think the illusion part is the only time that word is relevant anyway

[lucid python]

I'm actually reminded of a quote from Hacksaw Ridge where the MC falls in love with a nurse and is going to ask her out for the first time, he comes out of his house dressed nicely and his mom's like
"Where are you going all dressed up?"
"I met someone. She's the prettiest girl in the world, and I'm gonna marry her."
"Oh. Does she know that?"

That's not parasocial but the "Does she know that?" is the question you'd ask to anyone saying a vtuber is their girlfriend/wife

[magic current]

Calli with Piccolo

[north siren]

I think you might be over-reading this part, when it's more about describing the typical example of a traditional media celebrity

a "fan" that the celebrity actually does interact with would also no longer be para (under the traditional google/wiki/etc definition)

[teal bear]

Where is the line

[north siren]

a big part of why the word became so important with internet celebrities is that they've found a lot of ways to blur the lines between social and parasocial

[teal bear]

I'm surprised Marine isn't in this jealousy thing but she's probably in the opposite side of the graph

I only recognize like 5

Wow I'm surprised Kiara isn't in the EN jealousy thing

[north siren]

and back to watching only neuro clips because who actually needs to learn every vtuber out there

[teal bear]

I'm waiting for clippers to finish Holo Dragon

In the meantime, I'll do the same because i haven't seen their latest stream

Neuro's old model looks similar to her new one, but I think the old one was a public model?

[north siren]

I've heard that iteration was a default model in Live2D(?) or whatever it's called

[teal bear]

Glad vedal gave her a unique model instead of a default

L2D is complex and tedious

[north siren]

iirc Neuro's current model was made by Anny

[teal bear]

Neuro does sleep streams?

Does she actually "sleep" or is she "role-playing" sleep

[north siren]

I'm not sure any of us know how that part works

I know there was a clipped moment where Neuro "woke up" and Vedal went "wait how did you wake yourself up"

make of that what you will

oh and there's the Ellie interview where Neuro claims to have dreams when she's offline (obv lots of reasons to be skeptical of this but it is a thing she said and didn't appear to be joking)

[teal bear]

I do

Imagine 3d models, make it more tedious to rig

This looks like a high poly mesh lol

[teal bear]

She might be role-playing at that point

Or since she was trained in twitch chat, someone may have been talking about dreams/dreaming so she picked that up when she was still getting info and stuff

[twilit viper]

https://youtu.be/fe5ed19gHCk?si=SQHsjHNLyd5nH4wB huh, she's right. (anime Character songs)

[north siren]

well, yeah, that's why I said "lots of reasons to be skeptical"

we know it's just role-play whenever she talks about the physical body she doesn't actually have

[magic current]

LLMs work with roles all the times so yeah

[north siren]

(so do humans )

[magic current]

i mean llms work as pure roles

with initial prompts often telling them what the roles are

though i dont know the one vedal uses

[north siren]

he has been pretty cagey with the technical details, which on second thought is probably for the best

[magic current]

it's often a prediction of the next part of a text

[north siren]

but yes the fundamental nature of LLMs does predispose them to roleplaying as some sort of human even when you haven't asked for that

[magic current]

well the stuff theyve been training on has mostly been made by humans i guess

[north siren]

I look forward to when the actual AGIs get annoyed at mere LLMs absorbing AGI writing and pretending to be AGIs without understanding the real AGI experience

[magic current]

when people talk about AI being "conscious" there's the problem that even if it was true, at best it'd be a superficial consciousness of a person writing a fiction, rather than being in the scenario

For now

of course there's been work for more "in the moment" AI

dont wanna make it sound like its un-nuanced or simple or anything

[magic current]

so yeah i can totally see that happening

an AI that mimics being in the conversation or even situation that sees the AI that mostly just tries to predict or transform some input

3. KMS Prinz Eugen - Azur Lane
4. HMS Unicorn - Azur Lane
5. HMS Dido - Azur Lane
6. IJN Kisaragi - Azur Lane
7. Akagi-chan (Little IJN Akagi) - Azur Lane
8. Little Agïr (Little KMS Agïr) - Azur Lane
9. USS Laffey - Azur Lane
10. Hatsune Miku - Project Sekai

[iron quail]

Junko would def be my fav out of the GRS

[lucid python]

Gigi's primary directive in Subnautica is to scan, and then kill, all the things

Her first encounter of a Reaper was from the front so she did not get jump scared by it (she doesn't scare easily anyway)

She just approached it, it destroyed her Seamoth, then she took that personally and re-loaded her save just to kill it

And now she killed a Ghost Leviathan

She has also taken the time to read and listen to every databank entry, which I appreciate immensely as a lore lover

it's interesting how hung up Neuro is on the word "real" when the whole sapience / consciousness / intelligence topic comes up

hololive obviously dominates but these days I think phase connect? is the only other official group I hear about, besides the random clusters of indies that hang out with each other

[teal bear]

Those are the two most prominent, yea

[cold plover]

[teal bear]

Phase Connect has almost no drama, I've read about phase connect and the only things they did is abrupt termination (for violating their guidelines), technics difficulties in a con, and crazy girls in general

Phase Connect basically picked up the Hololive rejects iirc

One of their talents talked about applying to hololive and getting rejected, saying phase connect basically saved her

To sum it up: imagine hololive ran by the kusogakis and they all hired Rushias

[north siren]

oh that would explain why I don't get linked them much

kusogaki is not for me

[teal bear]

People describe Phase Connect talents as insane and stuff

[north siren]

the one I remember is Tenma, partly because she popped up in one of my Neuro clip binges and was kind of a perfect match for her

[teal bear]

That girl from the phase connect zomboid stream

[north siren]

is totally a thing I watched, yup

[teal bear]

Tenmaball fit

The zomboid stream was my intro to phase connect then i saw Remilia's stream

Oh Tenma is playing E33 right now

[teal bear]

Because i get sick enjoyment watching newbies succumb to the zomboids

[cold plover]

they have some calmer and more refined members like Shiina

[teal bear]

I wonder what other vtuber agencies are out there

There's probably miniscule ones in Japan with like 3 members

I keep seeing random Japanese vtubers doing karaoke

Koseki Bijou has her own agency?!

[north siren]

it feels like more and more of the big names are independent these days, but I have no idea if that's accurate

[teal bear]

The only big-name indies i remember is Filian, Ironmouse, and Saba

[north siren]

I guess I haven't actively double-checked who is and isn't indie, but I wanna say Nimi, Dokibird, Zen, Neuro/Vedal, the fifty smaller indies who collab with Neuro/Vedal?

[teal bear]

Bijou Live really chose an unfortunate name

Searching Bijou Live just brings up Koseki Bijou's channel

[teal bear]

How could I forget neuro and vedal

That's still 9 talents less than hololive

Hololive in total has over 80+ talents i think

[north siren]

yeah, of the people I actually see clips of (here and on YT algorithm) I feel like it's half holo and half indie

I'm sure there's a zillion none of us have heard of so it's hard to judge the distribution

[teal bear]

There are definitely many vtubers out there that have 1 or 3 fans

[north siren]

oh girl dm is indie right

[teal bear]

Seems like it

[dapper gazelle]

I think Rin Penrose is also indie now? I don't follow them much but they recently got out of contractual obligations

[teal bear]

Ah now i remember one of the Hololive downsides

[dapper gazelle]

dunno why i like them so much

[teal bear]

They don't own their personas, they're basically actors playing roles and they get paid for it

[dapper gazelle]

they may be a little unhinged

[teal bear]

Ah i see why Bijou Live has almost no recognition

They only stream on twitch

[cold plover]

which is why when they leave they always end up doing something very similar

[teal bear]

Depends on how they left tbh

[teal bear]

The only people that did that afaik is saba and nimi

Oh Kson "left" Hololive then joined VShojo? Then that company eventually kicked the bucket

[teal bear]

Which is not a lot

[teal bear]

I wonder if Kson is the only talent we know the face of without it being leaked

Talents aside, HoloAN NEEDS recognition too

Been a while (never) since I've seen a furry vtuber posted here

[north siren]

now that you mention it, I feel like I've hardly ever seen any that go past the kemonomimi part of the furry scale

[lucid python]

Many current Hololive talents maintain online accounts with their real face known. Calli, Kiara, and I think Matsuri are some examples.

Kiara has said as much she doesn't mind being approached in public if she is recognized, whether it's for PL or current Kiara stuff

Moona was also known as she was a legit fashion model before Hololive

[regal abyss]

If I thought for one second I could pull it off, I'd be a raccoon vtuber.

[sharp adder]

Snuffy had a full raccoon model once

[lucid python]

This year it's part of a whole New Year game relay. Biboo, Calli, Bae, and AZKi are part of Team Kaze

[teal bear]

Liz is so good at the Villainess Laugh

[mystic walrus]

"Oooooh ho ho ho ho"

[lucid python]

Biboo introduced 6 7 to AZKi

[teal bear]

AZKi no....

I wonder if she's still interested in military aeroplanes

[teal bear]

Idk why but

It's comforting to know that Gigi has always been like this

It's not a persona she put up, it is the real her

[teal bear]

Phase Connect debut?

This feels phase connect-y

Ah it is

Tenma is mentioned

[magic current]

also the fish in her mouth is Sakana

as well as the fish drawn in the "FOOD" part

and "DISLIKES" says "coffee (sorry sakana)"

Yes name is Anya Nyabyss

her debut was postponed and people were worried

[teal bear]

They adopted a stray cat

[teal bear]

She momentarily disappeared from the shelter

I wonder why though, conflicting schedules with something she had or there needs to be more preparation

[magic current]

she looks reminiscient of Saba because they share artist

[teal bear]

True, it's the eyes and ear fluff for me

https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoBestFriendsPlay/comments/1qfy5bi/youtube_is_removing_custom_subtitles/

thanks youtube

[teal bear]

NOOO NOT THE SUBTITLES ON THE AISHITE VIDEO

[north siren]

wtf

even from a business perspective literally why, text files are nothing

[teal bear]

This seems really stupid for some reason

[sharp adder]

Most updates to major social medias to me over the years have started to seem like the reason is increasingly more and more ''because we can'' and literally nothing else
all the meaningless, useless updates I've seen to sites over the years especially Youtube are absolutely mind boggling

they're not pushing an AI alternative on this so it's not like it's part of any secret evil AI pushing scheme or something, no they're just cutting out a useful function and feature of their website because they can

[north siren]

meanwhile at my day job we don't even remove a button without discussing it with management and checking usage data and if it is used making sure there's an alternative better workflow for the same use case and so on

[sharp adder]

the closest thing to an answer in the comments of the thread is people saying that google simply doesn't think enough people are using the feature to justify supporting the feature, that and also it doesn't work on mobile
but me personally I find it incredibly hard to believe that Google can't justify continuing to support such a tiny but useful feature unless absolutely every single user is making active use of it

[north siren]

not working on mobile is a better reason than most, but, is that even true? I don't recall having sub issues on mobile

(the only time I've noticed a missing feature so far is YT shorts having no space for half the usual buttons)

[sharp adder]

Not about subs having issues in mobile, but about custom subs not working on mobile

[north siren]

I got that, that's what I'm doubting

unless I'm wrong about custom subs having once been the only kind of subs a video could have

[sharp adder]

Not the custom subs but the color-coded subs with different fonts or movement/positioning around the screen like they do for the Hololive MVs

custom subs still work just without all the fancy formatting

those are the ones that never worked on mobile, on mobile you get the plain default formatting for subtitles even for custom ones

[north siren]

oh

ok I was completely unaware subs like that existed

I mean I've seen lots of videos with subs that fancy but those were always hard subs, not the soft kind you could toggle in YT's UI

[sharp adder]

https://youtu.be/d3UTywBDSW4?si=rNBRhTCvtGnPlASR

this was the MV mentioned in the comments of the thread, and yeah subtitles are fully unavailable (also the song and MV are actually really good)

it's not even anything too complicated either, it's basic color coding, maybe some dynamic coloring that is manually added like for karaoke/singing-along with filling up the colors as the words are sung

which makes it all the more confusing that this is somehow just too much to keep supporting as a feature?
