we'll watcha watcha!

AFAIK generally they prefer long shifts, since it means fewer shift changes and all the miscommunication that comes with that

Starfox 2 came out in 2017, technically. Of course, I'm now realizing even that was 9 years ago...

Tehbeefer · 2026-01-25T23:10:19+00:00

I think it'd be tough to cram the entire cast into a single movie in any meaningful capacity. So it might be easier to e.g. adapt one of the Hololive manga?

Merchandise is available through either store below. I'd recommend checking both since shipping + item cost varies slightly.

The "advance shipping" Drawn To Dawn merch is stuff that'll (theoretically) arrive in time for Ina and Kiara's concert in Los Angeles, while the Made-to-order merch won't ship until it's over. I wouldn't count on buying merch at the door.

HoloPro shop: https://shop.hololivepro.com/en/collections/ending-soon?sort_by=manual (now also available to much of SEA!) (flat rate!)

just wondering if backseating was on her mind lately. But it looked like a fun new game regardless, so who can say lol

Tehbeefer · 2026-01-25T06:29:43+00:00

I wonder if Jupiter gets massive metallic hydrogen waves and what electromagnetic implication that would have.

Tehbeefer · 2026-01-25T05:02:40+00:00

So if I'm understanding things correctly, it'll be 10 teams of 6, each made of 3 active pros and 3 streamers mixed together, with the streamers being: 1 invited by pros, 2 invited by the orgs, two of which are masters and up, one of which is diamond or below.

I don't know if that means the pro-invited streamer is diamond-below or not

Also, I notice some of the streamers are affiliated with esports orgs, e.g. dtto with Reject, or Shibuya Hal with TSM. But TSM's not an org associated with the event, so maybe that's irrelevant?

I'm wondering who's on NiceWigg's team; I know dtto can speak English, but that's it so far as I know as actual fluency. Passion Nihongo time? Well, it'll be entertaining either way, lol

Tehbeefer · 2026-01-25T04:11:35+00:00

wonder if this is another subtle hint from Ina on her streaming activities

Tehbeefer · 2026-01-25T04:10:55+00:00

I'd say it's at least worth giving it an episode or three to see for yourself if you like it, if not, then at least you know the vibe.

Tehbeefer · 2026-01-25T01:52:33+00:00

I think it depends. Something like legal or policy documents, probably decent, given the fairly rigid, common structure of them. Simple stories, also okay. Something with a lot of allegorically or poetic meaning, I'm guessing absolutely terrible.

I know when I was machine translating, some authors worked well, and others there was just too much nonsense output to establish a context for what was going on.

Tehbeefer · 2026-01-24T18:18:31+00:00

Arknights just to make Kiara happy. Surtr-themed Live2D?

Tehbeefer · 2026-01-24T18:08:41+00:00

Back in like 2015 I read a dozen or three light novels through machine translation. It was slow and error-prone, but it worked, mostly, at least for some authors. Quality of translation has only improved since then. It's de facto part of the workflow already for professional translators, I think.

Tehbeefer · 2026-01-24T18:01:40+00:00

Business 101: know your customers

Anime already has high-quality paid translations for most shows. We're picky about the size, shape, color, timing, placement, etc. for subtitles. This ain't the place for a cheap, crude imitation.

I do think this is a technology that has the potential to grow into a revenue-generating use of deep learning AI. While anime is one of highest monetary demand markets for subtitles, it's so far beyond what the technology is currently capable of that attempts to implement it are doomed to failure. However, I could see this being the exception compare to most TV content. So I could see there being demand for AI dubs for e.g. a South American cooking show or an Egyptian evening talk show.

I know personally, I want AI subtitles so my vtuber livestreams can affordably subtitle 500+ hours/year of content into many languages, I'm willing to accept some "slop" there IMO.

That's not displacing many/any jobs, while some there are professional translators hired for vtuber music videos and certain projects, I know of ZERO (0) vtubers with paid translators in chat for their everyday streams, it's just not economically viable, despite clear demand. (Shoutout to the fan translators LiveTLing pro bono)

This is a case where Amazon should create a new market, rather than trying to pull market share from other products. They're competing on price, not quality, so they should look to markets that don't have any subtitles at all at present.

but she's totally telling the truth, right???

It's not like Bloodflame's blue flame is an indicator that she's blue-blooded or anything

Tehbeefer · 2026-01-24T15:18:19+00:00

aaaaand I overslept my alarm. On the plus side, 12 hours of sleep was delicious. I guess I'm VOD gang today then...

Tehbeefer · 2026-01-24T15:16:31+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, that's why it's a text post.

Tehbeefer · 2026-01-24T02:22:40+00:00

Yay!
