The voice is very annoying though, amazing work none the less.



I really hope these folks get some AI / video masking / voice masking tech that isn't horrible soon.

Dang that video... I think of myself as pretty open to whatever folks want to do and all, but it is really hard to watch that video.


It sounds like something from Interdimensional Cable. Like it's Justin Roiland trying to do an anime girl voice but it comes out as a sort of Mr. Meeseeks screech.

This is the future of our profession. We've gone from long-term, long-form documentation, to blog posts, to talks... in the next ten years it'll just be anime pfps squeaking at each other.


OMG I just saw it for the first time. That's a nightmare. I didn't expect it to be like this when I read your comment.


Yeah the voice changer is crazy. Like the work and sometimes I peak the stream. Wish I could watch it with sound but it's unbearable after a couple of minutes.


What we need is a highly technical VTuber that's good with audio to work on this problem for us!


he's actually very competent at audio, just he really clings to this hardly intelligible voice filter for some reason.


I've seen this channel before. I don't care what the content is, I can't listen to it.


For me, it isn't annoying, I basically cannot understand it most of the time. Which of course kills the whole thing for me.


It’s weird to me that she’s using such a high-pitched voice, because there are many successful VTubers with lower-pitched voices.


Really needs subtitles/closed captions to be enabled!


yea, I tried to watch her livestreams but I can't deal with the voice. Still though, very cool stuff

Just a heads up, scare quoting someone's preferred pronouns is not a good thing to do and comes off as very disrespectful if not outright transphobic.


While you are not wrong (simply because many people would agree with you), systematic bullying of outgroups is divisive and also disrespectful.

What? No, this vtuber thing is just very trendy in the anime community right now. The "her" is in quotes because the avatar is female, which is not related to whether or not they're trans.


He streams normally on his main channel, https://www.youtube.com/c/marcan42/videos, just the GPU series seems to be April Fools joke taken too far.


Haha, this all is a weird reveal for me. In particular because now I know there are fewer people in Asahi Linux than I thought - since two of these personalities are one and the same.


> the GPU series seems to be April Fools joke taken too far.

I see; interesting.


Based on my own experience, you need to reevaluate your biases.

I’ve had many avatars online, some male, others female, many not human. While it can be for others, my decisions were never about my feelings towards my gender or sexuality.

I say this just to let you know these things are orthogonal. Just as you shouldn’t assume anything about a female child playing Peter Pan in the school production, you shouldn’t assume anything about a person’s gender or sexuality based on their “current” avatar (of possibly many current avatars).


> these things are orthogonal

You're right. It was a poor judgement call to associate virtual avatars with anyone's sexuality; thanks for pointing it out.
