General Discussion for Virtual Youtubers / Vtubers / Chuubas - it's okay to be a simp for 2D, just don't thirstpost.

So how does vtubing work?

:thinking:

I guess there's cam software that tracks motion and translates that into movements of the avatar, along with manual controls like moving the avatar around in other ways.
Pretty much. Recently @Deluxe rigged the Wikihow dog, if you want to see how an avatar's parts are animated. Those parts would be controlled by the motion tracking. Most also have manual controls for expressions.
 
I've been watching Vox's stream for about 15 minutes, and in that time he's gotten like... 7 rainbow superchats? It's so wild to see!

I’m not too upset that it’s locked. This is the primary place to talk about Vtubers so I can understand where he comes from, and it’s not like the Ralph and Pippa shit will go away in here either.
 
How did the blackmailer think this would end well for them in the long run?

Edit: Confirmed Gura doesn't live in Minnesota or Montana

I missed the first half hour of the Bully stream yesterday, so rewatching that now and I see what this was about...

"Nobody lives in Minnesota"... me and Jim feel personally attacked Gura!!

Btw, the live chat replay has been disabled for the Bully video. Anyone know why? Something yabe happen in there?


Montana voice: David Lynch, Steve Albini
Minnesota voice: literally nobody you've ever heard speak

EDIT: Minnesota voice sounds basically the same as a Canadian accent.

It's pitched both up and down about a third, and they're louder than Canadians. People think they know Minnesota voice from "Fargo" but it's not like that, more like actual Scandinavia, and especially like Finns. It's one of the last true rural things in America. My wife's a Minnesotan without the voice, but whenever we visit her family, it's so exaggerated, it's like being in Finnish anime (and they're not Finns). Very weird isolate micro-culture. Glad it still exists.

As your friendly neighborhood Minnesotan, I'll say that around the Twin Cities that there really isn't much of an accent at all, it's very neutral. But the farther north and rural you go the heavier the accent gets. It never gets as bad as the Fargo accent, but you can hear similarities and understand where it comes from. It does get more Canadian (lots more "eh" and "aboot" and such) and as you said you also can feel the Scandinavian influence too. My in-laws live up in northern MN farm country and it's interesting hearing people talk when you go in to stores and such.

I could have told you Gura is from no where near MN or the midwest really because she calls those fizzy drinks "soda", which would get her midwestern card pulled quickly. Viva la "pop"!
