Edit: FYI There are multiple ships named Rocket, more then 1 near land. Please take the "rrat" as is.
I would put some stock in the rrat, she's talked a lot about the weather where she is, and some of the specifics like the mention of it being rainy during one stream pegged her down to Northern Italy, since the initial rrat was that she was an expat living in Italy, due to learning Italian but not speaking it well and ignoring Italian questions in chat. She's also mentioned not liking the beach lol.

Another rrat going around has to do with where she's actually from, she teases chat on the regular that they haven't been able to guess her native language, and has said she won't reveal it, at least for the foreseeable future. One persistent rrat is that she is Spanish due to they way she pronounced cat noises while playing Stray, Another has to do with Sakana talking about unforseen, unspecified delays in Gen2's rollout (most likely due to art delays), and the rrat associated with Panko is that she is a Ukrainian expat, living in Italy. Of note is that she does not like the beach, the strong sunlight and the heat and has had a a difficult time dealing with the heat and heat waves that have been common to Italy and Europe in general this year.

FYI, Erina has also obliquely confirmed she's located in the Philippines, due to weather. At the end of one of her streams thunder could be heard in the background, in another on you could hear it begin to rain really hard and she confirmed it had begun to rain. In both cases there was no such weather going on in the US or Canada, but there was in the Philippines around Manila in the north and down south around Davao City. Live satellite weather is really handy when those things turn up in streams.
 
Maybe I'm extra retarded for caring about the models too much, but it just filters me so hard.

I used to watch her late last year / early this year before she switched models from this:

to this:

Can't really explain it, but i just lost interest in watching her from that. And it wouldn't even be so bad if she was alternating models, but it is the only one she has used for months.
And yes I can appreciate that people probably like the 'standard anime' style of model more than the one she had before, I just find the more 'experimental' models with different artstyles way more appealing.

Same situation with Pikamee for me by the way, although she atleast uses her old models from time to time over her 'isekai-pikamee' model.

Kson's 'twitch' model falls in the same vein, she seems to alternate it a bit as well tho.

So if any of you have recommendations for vtubers with cool-looking models please let me know, i'll stick to the unoffensive Holo / Niji style until then.

Apologies for the spergery, have some cute redemption menhera (good model included)
It's like when a streamer you regularly watch appears on stream after some heavy plastic surgery done to their face. New outfits work, but an outright different art style just makes it look like you're watching someone else.
 
Was she already playing? or is this new booba in Rust?

she's a newcomer, I expect she'll end up shacking up with Mel or near Mel as is the usual, she could turn out to be a good addition to the server though because Choco is no slouch when it comes to FPS or games that involve a long grind. Wouldn't be surprised if within a few days she was "caught up" with a lot of the server tech wise.
 
Oooooooooo


Wait, exposing AI to horrible things is what?
A good time

If you're talking about some talk in this thread. There's a company that's called Wonders AI that did the 3d for Pippa, talked about maybe running individualized AI assistants for people based on the characters people play.
Honestly, though, you're probably in the wrong thread for this discussion (the AI learning stuff). I think the timestamp for the video was around 50 minutes? Maybe look in comments.

Considering the Ukraine War started in February, that could very be a big reason if that's true. They did want to roll out Gen2 right around then
 
i was wondering since kson left hololive for more freedom (according to her), is ksons content actually that much different from her content as coco? as far as i can see the only difference is that she has a sponsorship from a sextoy company now. so did she really just leave hololive to get a sextoy sponsorship?

one could also say that freedom can come in other forms than just her content changing.
Being able to collab without needing approval, not having a manager scolding her for talking about whatever she likes, not having to jump through corporate hoops for game permissions etc. "freedom" doesn't have mean she wanted to revolutionize her content, it can just mean she didn't want to deal with the baggage and oversight personally.

She now has the freedom to collab with vshitshow while no longer being allowed to collab with cool vtubers.

Cool vtuber tax
