IT KEEPS HAPPENING

No, it's basically any repetitive action. Do something often enough and your brain optimizes to do it better. The dreams are thought to be a side effect of this optimization process.

there's an old Coco bit about this exact phenomenon among speedrunners (slightly NSFW)

I assume this is related to the thing where Tony Hawk makes you see all the places you could be doing sick combos as you walk down the street in real life.

Kiara has moved twice in the last 3 days and can't get internet at her new place for a week, so she's over at the managers place streaming from their PC. A very dedicated streaming chicken.

That's what it sounded like but I'm wondering if she is including the temporary stay at manager-sans place as a move.

Aw beans. I was kind of hoping she would F3 during the stream and reveal that manager-sans PC had dual 3090s or something insane.

For those unaware: F3 in minecraft brings up debug and system info

She did hit F3. From chat commentary I think it had an RX 580 and a whole 2gb of ram.

So looks like Kiara's first collab outside EN will be with Subaru, she said that she wanted to get to know Pekora better before asking her.

Subaru, did mention that she wanted to collab with Kiara and be a proper bird senpai, so I'm glad it actually happened. :woop:

Subaru is one of the hololive members who is actively curious about, and interested in, her overseas audience, while also not being part of the Coco/reddit circle, so that should be fun.

I believe minecraft only shows how much ram it's allocated as the max and by default it only allocates 2 GB to the client in the Java version.

oh yeah ok. what kinda cpu was it?

weird, a 580 and anything in the last 10 years cpu wise should handle minecraft more than fine.

It's probably the 3d face tracking app, minecraft, and streaming combined with the lack of RAM that's causing all the issues. She had to shut it down at the end because she couldn't even do superchats. I think she said she was literally going back to her place to get her current PC right after she ended it.

Yeah she was very sad at the performance of manager-san's PC and how difficult it made streaming.

Face tracking is done via their company phone.

Using a phone/seperate device to do face tracking might actually reduce the risk of accidentally showing the capturing cam. Towa already did that, luckily it didn't show anything.

The computer seems to have to handle the load of animating the avatars, though - some of the more famous potato PC havers like Watame and Polka have had to disable their avatars and put up stills on streams in the past to avoid having things grind to a halt.

Yeah if you need any proof that the PC is the thing rendering the avatar, just look at Calli's debut stream

Yeah I didn't see a video card on the F3 screen in Minecraft, I might have missed it but it couldn't have been very beefy based on the performance we saw.

It was an AMD RX 580, which is definitely an older, out of date card but not a complete piece of poo poo. It's roughly on par with a 970, which can very easily handle streaming minecraft in normal circumstances. Based on the machine hitching and freezing up constantly I'm going to bet it was a RAM problem.

honestly this seems completely fine unless it has like 4gb of ram. it's way better than a lot of other hololive streamers laptops. the weakest link is the cpu but even that isn't terrible. roughly equiv to a i5 7500

definitely something else going on there, oh well. sucks she had so many issues.

It's still 3 hours away but while I still remember, Chaika, Yashiro, Rikiichi and Maimoto are going to do a 4-man 3D stream playing Twister and besides that already promising to be art in stream form, I also love the art used in the stream image.

Speaking of Yashiro, guy's been crushing it at Super Mario Bros 35 in his recent streams. He's the same guy someone at some point linked playing ludicrously fast rhythm game, a powerful gamer.

Also Hajime is streaming APEX where if he dies, he'll have to suck on a pacifier until he's able to get 2 kills again. Why? Because there are no boundaries in the entertainment of the future.

Minecraft without OptiFine installed is weirdly heavy on performance in the strangest ways sometimes. That particular mod is a must-have for the game, IIRC it's fully compatible with unmodded servers too. That CPU/GPU combo can run minecraft with high draw distance, a higher rez resource pack and some nice shaders without much issue, I know it because I did it for quite a while.

You are not one of us.
Kiara's tale of three PCs:

PC two is the one she's mostly been streaming from. It's at her new place that doesn't currently have internet. It's a rental, and has been working fine.

PC three is the manager's PC that she was using today. They'll be picking PC two up tomorrow and using it for future streams until internet is up at her place.

PC one is Kiara's actual PC. It's back at her previous old place and is her actual gaming PC. She really likes it and misses it, because she didn't want it to break while flying when she first moved. She'll have it again in about five months.
