So Pokimane is streaming with a virtual avatar. The avatar is 3D and super scuffed. I don’t think she qualifies for this but I guess vtubing is getting more popular in the west.

EDIT: It’s a bit surreal seeing Hololive EN videos with JP subtitles floating around on YouTube because I’m so used to it being the other way around. I’m happy to see the Hololive fans supporting each other to support the girls.

Honestly? I wouldn't be surprised if it became more of the norm. While the Facebook-era of the internet has had people plaster their real lives and faces all over the internet, it also revealed to a lot of people why you don't want to do that.

Vtuber avatar lets you show some semblance of a person while still retaining a lot of anonymity.

I just noticed how well-rigged Amelia's avatar is. The mouth syncs up with her speech much more naturally than the others. It's almost as well-done as Botan's, do they have the same live2D artist?

e: nope, not the same. Still really well done though.

I agree completely. There was some weird belief back in the early 00's that if people used their real name online they would be more polite and you could hold people more accountable for their actions. Turns out that people are just going to be creepy belligerent assholes anyway, law enforcement won't take online threats seriously, and now the stalkers know where to find you.

Being a vtuber is just the modern equivalent of having an anime avatar next to your username on an online forum. It's not new, it's just a different flavor of the old.

she learned english entirely from discord/4chan/reddit and twitch

you couldnt create a better hololive idol for twitch if you tried. she frequently tries to convince chat she is an ice mage not an ice gremlin

even her head looks like a twitch emote

Like, maybe, jussstttttt mayyyybe, they should try playing the game off-stream before they decide what to play. Or at least play 3D action games because shark girl there was obviously and utterly lost.

Going in blind is pretty fun. Honestly it seems like a pretty bad game with a useless map and zero direction. She'd definitely have been better off just calling an end to it after an hour/during the sewer section and picking it back up after practicing (which she said she will do) though.

the shark game sucks rear end, literally starts in a sewer level. when it came out a few twitch streamers i watch tried it out cause “lol shark” but dropped it after an hour or so, its the worst kind of open world game

so anyway, the eekum bokum video is the new hot meme format on youtube

Like, if you're already a good streamer it doesn't really matter what game you play (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyJ-2t_bMuk). But a newbie should be more careful.

Haha, I get it. But it doesn't seem like it sticks. There's still streamers that do voice only, but facecams have become commonplace for some reason.

"If only there was a way to show the internet my facial expression without showing them I'm a greasy nerd", one might have said.

Vtuber avatars seem like at least one solution to that.
