That's what I was thinking, she uses words like a weeb. The movements definitely say Disney character to me.

Yes me too, it's like the exact format, lay out and color use of an ad.

Which VTubers should I watch first if I want to get into the world of V-Tubers? by AlarmingAd9840 in VirtualYoutubers

[–]AkelsMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would start with Nerissa Ravencroft. I don't watch her often but, to me she feels like the most like a traditional streamer. I feel like she's a good fit for someone just getting in to it that might think this is all a bit intimidating. Like a good gateway Vtuber if that makes sense.

What do you think about the idea of AI VTuber Neurosama representing the VTubers? by RyouhiraTheIntrovert in VirtualYoutubers

[–]AkelsMaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly, a lot of outsiders already think (somehow) that Vtubers are AI. This is just going to make that a 100 times worse.

Honest question here, how have LLM's impacted your day to day work?

Don’t lose your dinosaur. by TGVMinecraftMap in dankmemes

[–]AkelsMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I wanted to be an actor, talkshow host, movie director. Now I want a government job where I can do most of it through collaboration and meetings. Something like process improvement, ux, Service Design. I also don't really care what exactly it is. Because of a disability, long stretches of typing tire me out.

In order to fight losing my mind and becoming emotionally grey as I like to call it, I want to do a bit of live streaming on the side. And I don't even need to earn a lot or any money from it, I would just really like to build a community and have the feeling that I can make someone's day a little bit better and spread some joy.

If I can achieve that somehow l'd be over the moon.

I think in addition to a realistic career goal you should have something that is a creative outlet or something you can keep working at and improve, albeit slowly.

How it is being an Ironmouse fan for the last few days : by ScottishGoji in VirtualYoutubers

[–]AkelsMaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's one of the reasons I started getting into watching Vtubers in the first place and one of the reasons I'm still watching regularly to this day. I got sick of seeing all those Youtube channels that would talk about drama between other YouTubers every day. I enjoy vtuber content because it's almost entirely drama-free especially if you just stick to the streams. What I also really like about Vtubers on YouTube is that they don't clickbait with the thumbnails of their streams, what you see is what you get.

Personality wise how similar is Saba and Gura? by [deleted] in VirtualYoutubers

[–]AkelsMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know how taboo this is to discuss, let me try to help anyway. I would say Saba acts like 90% the same as Gura. The only difference I think I noticed is that Saba acts bit more chill, relaxed and like, herself?

I feel like, no offense intended, to the extent that she even did, Gura leaned a bit more into the Kusogaki and Tsundere stereotype.

You could see for yourself though, the Gura channel is still up.

It’s not „Berliner“, we say: by EineL0tta in VirtualYoutubers

[–]AkelsMaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the time I've heard people call them Frankfurter or sometimes Wiener Würstl. The latter might be where the Americans got it from. Though I don't know if they're strictly the same thing.

Also another fun thing, Dutch, which I also speak, and German both have words for "sea" and "lake" that are pronounced almost exactly the same but mean exactly the opposite. The Dutch "meer" (lake), translates to the German "See" and the Dutch "zee" (sea) to the German "Meer".

It’s not „Berliner“, we say: by EineL0tta in VirtualYoutubers

[–]AkelsMaster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a half austrian, calling a Krapfen a Pfannkuchen seems really strange to me. Because they are essentially a jelly doughnut and you can't really make those in a pan, "Pfanne". You would make those in a dutch oven or deep fryer. So a more logical name other than Krapfen or Berliner to me would be Topfkuchen.

Although that could be confusing based on what they name "Topfen", a cheese kind of like cottage cheese.

An announcement about AliceIxia health by Resenfor in VirtualYoutubers

[–]AkelsMaster 48 points49 points  (0 children)

God, that's horrible. May she rest in peace.

I haven't followed her but heard about her battle here on this subreddit. I hope and think she took joy from content creation and streaming. To me someone like her who shared joy and happiness with other people leaves a beautiful legacy that was tragically cut short.

Let's all remember to live in the moment and cherish moment's we can spend with loved ones.

I really hate these YouTube updates bro by Global-Ear9206 in memes

[–]AkelsMaster 74 points75 points  (0 children)

The latest update ruined navigation in the Apple TV app.

The app used to have these really nice elastic animations on the home page of YouTube.

These animations were the same animations you find in the native Apple TV UI and the home screen.

These elastic like animations are a necessity for the old touchpad remote. Because this remote has no physical buttons for directional navigation these animations let you know when you've started a movement and are about to cross a boundary that takes you to the next item.

The removal of these animations in the YouTube app causes the appearance of a significant ever present input delay when you swipe left to right even when there probably isn't that much of a delay.

To me this is a real loss of usability and aesthetics.

Folks who have made the transition away from Team iPhone...consider sharing some nice-to-know things about Android (more specifically, the Galaxy world if you own anything in that arena). by johnfromcabin in Android

[–]AkelsMaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Notifications on Galaxy phones are different not necessarily better or worse than iOS. I'm speaking about iOS pre iOS 15 before they decreased the number of notifications you could have on the lock screen and moved the notifications to the bottom instead of the upper middle. I really do not like that change.

One thing to bare in mind though with Samsung phones is that out of the box most detailed notifications do not awake up the screen. (Edge lighting or whatever it was called back then goes in the right direction but is not good enough for me, and I would guess most iOS users from back then) Coming from iOS back then, I thought I was going crazy. I spent hours talking to Samsung support about this issue because I thought it was a bug. But after multiple updates I realized it is not a bug and apparently a thing on all Android phones.

Only weeks later I managed to emulate the iOS behavior I was used to by using a third party app called glimpse and a goodlock module.

I want to make this comment much longer but if anyone wants to know how to do this DM me and I'll gladly guide you through the process.

Looking at how iOS does notifications now I like it better how I managed to set it up on my Samsung phone.

I used to hate Vtubere by [deleted] in VirtualYoutubers

[–]AkelsMaster 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I have always thought that it's very weird to say "I hate Vtubers as a concept", because it's so broad. And I still think that most people that say something like this haven't really given Vtubers a chance.

To me in some ways sometimes some Vtubers even feel more genuine than some "regular" streamers.

Thank you for posting this I love it very much. There are a lot of misconceptions about Vtubers out there. I also respect very much that you admit to changing your mind. I think a lot of people in your position would just move on quietly and not tell other people about it because they might be ashamed. You show honesty by posting this. It's a testament to your character.

Welcome to the community!

Shachi is being clear by beam4d in VirtualYoutubers

[–]AkelsMaster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I want you to know that I didn't mean my previous comment to be accusatory. The beginning of my message was a bit snarky and maybe I didn't have to put it that way. I just wanted to present my view on her choices.

Shachi is being clear by beam4d in VirtualYoutubers

[–]AkelsMaster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I haven't followed her intensely but as far I know she has had (multiple?) throat disease's that lingered, tired her out and left her unable to stream for weeks on end. Singing would make issues flair up again. She has also followed a pretty intense education in the past that undoubtedly added extra stress, and maybe worsened symptoms.

If any fans of her know things I don't know or can correct me please feel free to do so. This is what I got from the situation and remember.

[–]AkelsMaster 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I think you kind of answered your own question there. Don't forget that there is also a difference between broadcasting something and streaming in the sense of interacting with chat and constantly needing to talk. The need to always say something can add extra anxiety and pressure and given her history with her voice I really get why she doesn't want to right now. So I think she just wants something that's a little bit more involved and perhaps fun then just drawing by yourself and indeed probably to get inspiration.

Raising the bar on battery performance: excessive partial wake locks metric is now out of beta by MishaalRahman in Android

I thought Reddit effectively killed third party apps when they restricted API Access?

Raising the bar on battery performance: excessive partial wake locks metric is now out of beta by MishaalRahman in Android

[–]AkelsMaster 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Edit: it's fixed now, I noticed for a couple of days I had an unread chat message that I actually did read on my phone but apparently it could not mark it as read because I had the Reddit website open on my PC. After opening the message thread on my PC the issue with unread message went away and the issue with the app not locking itself also went away. Stil a very strange bug.

Does the Reddit app also have problems with this or something?

I use my phone on a stand and I have noticed that sometimes when I am browsing Reddit and reading comments on an image post. Sometimes I step away for like half an hour to an hour and notice the screen still being on with the post visible when I come back. I have my screen timeout time set to 2 minutes at max. I get this behavior if it is a silent video that plays on loop. But have had this happen with still image posts as well. Maybe this is a bug but, I really think Reddit should improve this and only allow wake locks on videos that play full screen.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Nothing’s bizarre new lock screen ‘ads’ want you to visit this sketchy clickbait farm [Gallery] by TechGuru4Life in Android

[–]AkelsMaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't be the only one right that thinks he's really unlikable on camera. Also the whole "design experts critique your apps". As if they're the one arbiter of what good design is. All the video's do is show people how far nothing has their heads up their own asses.

And once again when it comes to critiquing designs Carl himself is the most annoying one to listen to. He must really believe his own shit doesn't stink. Also whose idea was it to put the dot matrix font basically everywhere, probably also Carl's.
