Yeah, and again, I think that concept is even more distorted by how quickly the collective conscience moves on from things now that we're all Always Online.

Get bashed, platonist!

I've been taking a break from the forums for a while because it was taking up too much of my time. However, I just remembered that I posted a month or so ago asking if Voidburger would go back to streaming Psychonauts 2. Well she did, and it's great. Chip is there as a co-host now. I was worried when he said that he had already finished the game, but so far he has been really good; gently steering her toward cool poo poo that is easily missed and answering questions when asked while still letting her experience the game in her own way. Psychonauts 2 is awesome and I'm pretty hooked on watching other people play it for the first time. So there's a recommendation for you.

If you had a look at their post histories you would see that most of them hadn't made a single post since 2005 or so, it was the oldest of the old guard crawling back over.

yeah, ironmouse is definitely up there. just unfiltered id from someone who doesn't give a poo poo because why should she? she's wonderful. I love how she also does streams showcasing very very small-time vtubers, people with maybe a dozen viewers or less, to get the word out on unknowns.

pikamee, girl_dm, kson, korone, nyanners, juniper, zentreya, melody, all of holo en and nijisanji en gen 1, marine, nene, flare, pekora, snuffy, botan, I follow a lot of vtubers, there's so goddamn many of them out there. it's literally impossible to keep up with all of them, which is why it's nice there's so many people who do clips, compilations and translations.


my mom wants to try being a vtuber, she said she sees the appeal of being able to present yourself as whatever ideal you want to be and not having to use makeup to go on camera or worry about people judging your appearance or knowing your real face. I wonder if she did it if she'd be the first geriatric vtuber.

Speaking as a rarely-posting "oldest of the old guard" (my OG regdate was I think late '99/early '00), I can pretty much confirm that toxic edgelords were always relentlessly mocked and ostracized here even when this place had very few rules. The only really big language change I've seen was that the homophobic f-slur was used freely as an generalized insult (as opposed to an intentionally homophobic one), but good riddance to that regardless of intent.

The only real difference is that bans nowadays are no big deal, but they were sold like DEATH back then because it was a much smaller community. If we didn't want you here, you were persona non grata, and oh boy did people take offense to getting tossed out.

Technically those channels that use an avatar that occasionally swaps between 5-10 static poses is virtual, so therefore Matt McMuscles is a vtuber :colbert:

One of Jerma's ideas for a stream is to get a vtuber avatar of a gross blob of slime and just roleplay as the blob man running a godawful stream.

He has like 5 different high concept stream ideas right now though so who knows when/if he's going to do that.

What better options had we to replace Peter Cushing who wasn't a PS4 character? Doesn't haven't to be dead-ringer, just someone who can play a Space Tory.

yea I've always been a pretty big 'when you're dead you're dead, just treat the body with dignity for the family and don't handwring about the sanctity of death' person but it feels like there needs to be some mechanism to prevent Pepsi from forcing a CGI Anne Frank to reenact the Kylie Jenner ad or whatever absolute hellzone we're heading for. Like, the actors and poo poo being pushed into movies post-death are gonna turn out to be the test case for what we'll allow and poo poo's gonna get GRIM

Robin Williams was forward thinking enough to not allow any likeness rights for 25 years after his death: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/mar/31/robin-williams-restricted-use-image-despite-existing-us-laws

I guess the real question is whether it's enforceable once if someone tries to fight this; you know there will be ghouls in Hollywood with the "you can't censor history by not letting us re-enact the 'what if Robin Williams starred in 25 Jumanji sequels' scenario" sooner or later.
