I’m not sure if she’s actually pon, or if it’s just first up nerves. I loved her apology press conference.
I’m legitimately excited for his update. Pako is going to be his new illustrator.
Sana was my favorite in Council and it broke my heart when she left.
Vesper is my favorite of the EN boys and for Pako to slot in as his new “mama” makes me happy. His art is amazing and he’s super supportive. Even after Sana retired he kept making brilliant hololive art.
Speculation for the change in illustrator is that Vesper’s original artist is ill (Komiya has been inactive on twitter for a while).
With anniversaries and stuff coming up it makes sense to slot in someone who can be involved on the regular. If Komiya-sensei is actually unwell, I hope they recover soon. I know so many of these artists burn themselves down to do all the work they need to do.
Raden is… a lot. I’m still trying to figure out how this isn’t just a regular JP gen.
I love Pochi almost as much as I love Pako, so I thought I’d make a post.
I saw 5th anniversary and I had a minor existential crisis. How has it been that long?
On the EN side it was Sana… she sounded like someone I knew when I was younger and it was super comforting just listening to her talk.
After her graduation I hooked into Fauna. I’m not into ASMR, but her gaming streams are so good (she’s kind of like a Hololive Northern Lion if that makes sense). She’s so quick witted and so engaging.
On JP side it’s probably Haachama. I live in her back catalog though, watching old vods. The more I think about it, the harder it gets for me to pick. I have an unusual fondness for Roboco, Towa, Subaru, Nenechi, Botan… I’ll always make time to watch Luna play the electone… I don’t know. I like them all a lot.
The ID girls are great too, I love Kaela, but she’s so much of a time sink. Kobo’s collabs are hysterical.
For the boys it’s Izuru, Astel and Vesper. I loved Fuma debut era, his original rap verses were amazing and the Shanti cover was great, but I feel like his hasn’t leaned into it even though it’s clearly a standout skill.
I’m not sure if there is a good solution. We’re just in the soup. Part of the mess that’s happening is because Reddit can be so good at giving proper answers. In my experience, at least in smaller communities, you have people that care and are curious.
So your question about a DAC is answered by someone who loves audio and bitrates and was into it for months or years before you even knew you’d have the question.
To fix trash search, AI is just chewing up all those old answers in the hope that it’ll be as “smart” about rowing as the woman on the subreddit who rowed for 10 years and coached for 5 and gave thoughtful answers to some college kid.
We’re in the middle of a… a something. And everything will just be shittier for a minute. The algorithms will feast on what’s buried in Reddit and become “smart” enough to give a passable answer, but then we run into the issue of new “smarts”… I don’t think AI will be able to generate new “smart” of any value. It’ll need to be trained by people and who knows if there will be dedicated people pouring info into a new repository.
Hyde’s artwork of them is so good. Well, Hyde is just so good.
The bit about being loyal, even in old age when their barkers don’t bark too good, actually made me tear up a little (I miss having dogs).
Anyway, I feel like I’ve been emotionally manipulated, but I’m okay with it.
I understand wanting to replicate chunks of Reddit, but a lot of the bot posts are useless. I’m not inclined to respond to an AITA or ELI5 that’s just a copy paste from a bot.
The person who asked the question isn’t here. They’re on Reddit. The bot is just letting me know that someone asked a question on Reddit. The person, most likely, will have no clue that someone here is replying.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding the bots and they’re a two way - copy pasting from reddit to here and copy pasting our responses to reddit, but from what I’ve seen, that’s not the case.
