I wonder what novel will suit Amelia voice.

Metamorphosis

As recompense for earlier filth, here's Subaru, but Donald Duck.

Thats cute. Really suits her.

I spent 1 week in a psych ward a few years ago for some shit I said in a youtube comment. Cops came to my house about a month after it and read off the absolute autism I spouted while I was completely shitfaced drunk. Sucked, and now I'm not allowed to own a firearm in my state unless I appeal, which will never be approved. Never drink and post.

Do you live in the UK where people get arrested for calling someone a faggot on Twitter? Hard to believe that at some point the UK controlled about 1/3 of the world.

Noel seems to be making a serious stab at courting english viewers. A nefarious e-girl plot to direct more people to her erotic content?

Would be the smart thing to do. She is one of the few ones that seems to understand that there is a huge market for her outside of Japan and she should capitalize on it.

Ame has a classic fussy white woman diet. Pasta. White rice. Cereal (probably with almond milk). Waffles. She doesn't even own plates, only 3 bowls. Eats waffles by tearing them up and placing them in the bowl.

Doesn't surprise me that the goblin has a goblin-like diet and eating habits.

1. I still don't buy her being just 20. My only proof is her liking Inuyasha. I know young people can like old things, but when someone asked her (in an English stream I think) about her favorite anime, she didn't hesitate at all and I don't buy a 20-year-old liking early 2000's anime. She also just had a singing stream where she sang one of its theme songs so that's why I started thinking about this again.
People talked about her being 20 because A-chan is 20 because she just had her first beer, and they are the same age. I do believe they are the same age and old school friends, but I think Cover is lying to us. They know they are supposed to be the same age, and Sora is supposed to be 20 because she debuted 3 years ago as a 17-year-old, so they had A-chan try beer for the "first time" on her birthday stream. I have no opinion on that one woman who people believed was her VA, can't remember her name, and I also understand getting someone young for your first vtuber experiment, instead of someone well established and therefore, more expensive. But, I just don't like the idea of fangirling someone over a decade younger than me, makes me feel dirty.

2. Do you think she is just sort of awkward, as a person? She has long pauses in her talking and game streams, she complains about not knowing what to talk about, she seems sort of awkward around the other girls, and the only reason she got into a group picture with the others was because Aki noticed her hiding in the bushes during their Minecraft Olympics and literally dragged her in. It might be part of the senpai-kohai obsession Japanese people have and the odd reverence all the others have for her, but even playing alone she doesn't seem to banter all that naturally. The only time she seems to be in her element is when she's performing. She's a good singer, has no trouble filling dead air in between songs, and I haven't seen any live stage events, but I seem to remember people saying she's also a good dancer.

I find that completely plausible. So which ones are over 30? I can see Marine being 28-32. Isnt Mio older too? What about Aki? Robocco?

I know she got some hate for a while because of some of the drama around her debut and stuff.

But I gotta admit, that Amatsuka Uto is pretty darn adorable, and she sings cutely, too

She's pretty great though I'm not too much of a fan of her voice.

It's going to be D&D 5E. The campaign setting is going to be Forgotten Realms or FR with the serial numbers filed off. They're going to be sponsored in some fashion. The tooling is going to be D&D beyond. One of them is going to be a tiefling.

I would expect D&D to sponsor them. Would be cool to see them roleplay as other Hololive members.

Zonbko is still going with her 10k sub endurance streaming.

About to hit 8k subscribers.

Zombie gonna die before she hits 10k.

All English-language tabletop RPG content eventually converges towards Critical Role.

I mean it's the most popular thus it's the easiest/most appealing thing to imitate.

Someone, please give this turkey an actual fishing game so that she can sperg all she wants about fishing.

She should play the Dreamcast Sonic game but only the Big the Cat parts.

It still tries to slip out now and again. Old habits die hard.

Maybe it's because I don't live in the mainland US but it stills blows my mind how retarded everyone acts over that word. So would Callie get graduated if she drops it and a bunch of Twitter fags sperg out and start trying to "cancel" her but going after the sponsors and whatnot?

After Moona's latest stream new rrat is she has Covid. Cough cough

Moona doesn't seem like the type of person who would even leave the house. She probably spent the whole night NPCing in random Minecraft servers and caught a cold.

I mean the ones in the shops (?) with the giant bird and giant metal dinosaur.

EDIT: Now that I've been paying a little more attention to the specifics, it does seem like it's a lack of currency issue. Makes a bit more sense now.

Probably because they'd have to give up an upgrade already have which they like better.

Is the "d" sound just naturally followed by an "o" sound in Japanese?

Aki's new Pokémon thumbnail is something else.

Is the "d" sound just naturally followed by an "o" sound in Japanese?

Yes, one of the characters that use the "D" sound is Dō, along with Da and Dé.

They don't have "D" they just have Do De Da and use whichever phonetically sounds closest.

 

[Thomas Talus]

Is the "d" sound just naturally followed by an "o" sound in Japanese?

Either an a, e, or o. The basic building blocks for Japanese words are consonant vowel pairs, with the exception of of an "-n." There are other pairs that start with an n.

 

[Carlito]

Is the "d" sound just naturally followed by an "o" sound in Japanese?

Japanese's phonology has /d/ as an integral phoneme. However, it only stays that way when followed by /a e o/ - when followed by /i u/, it becomes
[(d)ʑi] and [(d)zɯ] (similar to 'ji' and 'ju' respectively). When taking loanwords, Japanese prefers to fill out consonant clusters with syllables with /u/ - with /d/, it opts for /o/ to maintain the sound of the original word as closely as possible.

[Rezza]

All of Japanese alphabets and sounds are ended with an active vowel, with the exception of n. But even then, it actually sounds less like a hard "en", and more like soft "ng"
Also a bit of fun fact, its actually not that Japanese can't speak "L" and used "R", instead, their "R" is read softly and not as pronounced as how we read it. They way they speak r is actually more like "L" than r. Problem is, during the romanization of japanese alphabets, the writer turned it into hard "R". Same as how some japanese read "fu" as "hu". Its complicated

Hunter: Call of the While has fishing in it, but it's mainly a hunting simulator. Reaper might like it

She sounds like a smoker and does super animated gestures to get her tits to bounce more in the video. This is super cringe.

You're not wrong tho.

I overheard her during her drinking stream that she used to smoke from time to time.

Pronouncing Japanese /n/ as like English N is a good catch-all, though it manifests as different sounds when before certain sounds.

 

[Un Platano]

Is the "d" sound just naturally followed by an "o" sound in Japanese?

Most consonants in Japanese have to be followed by a vowel. The only one that doesn't is n (also m and ŋ, but these are considered variations of n in Japanese and can more or less be ignored by gaijins).

But in some registers of Japanese, "su" is just pronounced as an s, and the u is completely silent, so they can pronounce an s that isn't followed by a vowel.

You might start to get the impression that Japanese phonology is a mess. It's like Korean in that their writing system was designed to write the language as it was spoken hundreds of years ago, and they have since diverged and created a lot of weird nuances to what should be a very straightforward writing system. English is the same way, and if anything much worse.

 

[Fcret]

Is the "d" sound just naturally followed by an "o" sound in Japanese?

Japanese only has 46 possible syllables and all of them consist of either a vowel sound (a, i, u, e, o) or a consonant + vowel (ka, ki, ku, ke, ko; ma, mi, mu, me, mo; etc). The only exception is the moraic nasal ん (pronounced either n or m depending on accent).

So Japanese speakers don't natively have any conception of sounds like -nd.

 

[The One And Only ALTE]

They don't have "D" they just have Do De Da and use whichever phonetically sounds closest.

I find it so weird that chinese has the unambiguous "di" sound, but the japanese have a confused "dzi" that is somewhere between "zi" "ji" and "di"

Maybe it's because I don't live in the mainland US but it stills blows my mind how retarded everyone acts over that word. So would Callie get graduated if she drops it and a bunch of Twitter fags sperg out and start trying to "cancel" her but going after the sponsors and whatnot?

Its considered a very rude word, and at this point in history it is a political statement to use it, I don't think it's a huge deal not to say. I don't think anything would come of it even if activists decided to make a stink for a few reasons. Calli lives in Japan, it is not immediately clear that calli and demondice are related. She used the "ga" word instead of the "er" word, and that actually makes a difference. She didn't use it as an insult, she was just trying to talk black. If for some reason there was an issue, she could issue an apology, promise not to say it again, and it would all go away.

Would be the smart thing to do. She is one of the few ones that seems to understand that there is a huge market for her outside of Japan and she should capitalize on it.

The japanese are very inwardly turned, which is both one of their charms and one of their weaknesses. I think some of the girls would, if given a choice between 2 million foreign fans and 1 million japanese fans, would see the japanese fans as more valuable. Noel strikes me as very pragmatic though. She developed those huge distracting tits, and rather than complain about all the unwanted attention they bring her, she uses them to make money. Its also pretty unsurprising she's gay, given that she works two jobs in which she is confronted by a slavering sea of incels drooling over her tits.

There's a lot more than 46 syllables in Japanese. There's 46 characters in the gojuon, but then you have voiced syllables like ga, da, and za, and then you also have syllables that combine y syllables with another sound like kya, kyu, and kyo. Finally you have some sounds that come down to accent- Some people pronounce ず and づ the same way, and some don't. You can read more about that here. Some people can say ヴ and treat it as a distinct sound, and some can't. Because of that there's no one number of syllables that makes up all Japanese, but it's somewhere around 100 syllables total.

Ok, but what did Watson mean when she said にっが to that guy who asked her to put on a mask in the supermarket? I thought she didn't even speak japanese.

"Running" is one way to put it, she did that smol ame shuffling gait while making gremlin noises.
