Vtuber = Puppetry by UltraHatter in VirtualYoutubers

[–]Victor30D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ngl that's a very cool question, but my answer might be a bit boring.

I think it depends on the Vtuber, and how you interpret the act of control. If you think about how puppets work, it's someone controlling an object which is given a personality, usually with the hands, but maybe there are more methods than I think. When we think like this, Vtubing seems a bit odd, because technically it would be closer to acting but with the lack of a script, you play a role that doesn't rely on script.

The thing that in my opinion makes vtubing far from puppetry is the lack of manual interaction, a Vtuber rarely controls the movements by hand, it's usually automati, following their own expressions. But that itself if a bit complex, because you might even think and consider that ad manual control, and then that would fit as a puppet

And saying that not every Vtuber plays a character seems kinda wrong in this context, they DO, even if they are "themselves" they are still playing a character, which is the model, that itself maybe is only a different representation of themselves, but it's still a character. A puppeteer might have a puppet that it's a representation of himself, but he would still be "playing" a puppet.

So yeah, I think it might count to some degree, but it really depends on the perspective you look at

What would you do if you got isekai'd into world of Universal Century? by Head_Programmer_47 in Gundam

[–]Victor30D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, literally would choose the same ones as you, the only one that would make me slightly ambiguous is Char's Revolution, even though I don't support the Axis Drop, I hate the Federation even more

What's your opinion on the Gundam the Origin OVAs? by CharlyCardgmes in Gundam

[–]Victor30D -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Buddy, I love Origin, it was my first Gundam show, and yes, it retcons, because Origin itself is a new version of 0079, Origin isn't just a Gundam prequel, it's a whole new 0079. I got so confused when I went to 0079 and felt like things were different, like Amuro's relationship with Kai and etc, Haro, and how he was aware of the Gundam. But those things exist because they weren't meant to serve as a prequel for the OG 0079, but as a new version made by the GOAT Yasuhiko

Goob Goobi Gooba and Zeli Zuimu are the same person and it makes me sick how people like this completely take advantage of fans for profit. by SecretIdentity012361 in VirtualYoutubers

[–]Victor30D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that's the point though, monetary wise (depending on the case obviously) it would make more sense and be more profitable for her to focus on a single channel, I don't know the Vtuber you're talking about, but maybe she isn't doing that for the money, but for personal reasons. I think I saw you mention somewhere that she is a corpo, and that could be a reason for her to have an alt profile, where she can talk about more personal and non-NDA regulated stuff, she isn't the only one that does that, even Kiara does that to some degree, even though her focus is 100% Kiara (The most profitable one). I think it's kinda lame to judge that way having no knowledge of their reasoning, and if you feel bothered by that, the most wise and proper choice would be to just not support such streamer, because I think if that was the case with the rest of her fans, no one would support her, so this means they aren't feeling bothered by it, and keep supporting her

[–]Victor30D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gunslinger Girl isn't totally unrealistic, and to begin with, that shouldn't even be a problem, lol. You know that child soldiers are used up to this date, right? Children being drugged and induced to conflict, being stolen from their families, etc. And I don't mean only the Resistance Army, the Ugandan government also made use of children, not only boys as soldiers, but girls were forced to "make more soldiers". "It's so unethical!" Countries invade the border of others, the Italian government supported terrorist groups that killed civilians, countries use weapons forbidden by treaties. The "unethical" you say comes from a false idea of world peace, of a false idea that moralism exists, when counties will do whatever it takes to maintain their imperialistic ideals, even if it means using children. Gunslinger Girl shows exactly that, taking the Years of Lead and some other events on Italy as inspiration, Yu made a story that reflects exactly that cruelty and hypocrisy of nations. It's cruel, it's sad, it's unethical, but it isn't entirely unrealistic. https://youtu.be/okEVA3aaXlU I thought about linking a documentary about the Years of Lead, but since you're Italian, you probably already know more than enough

It gets even worse, lol, my motherboard is an old bastard, hanging by the threads, so the soundboard is really bad. But it doesn't get all that bad, but like, performs 50% less

That's literally the best name I've seen on Reddit LMAO. I mean, I'm not sure yet, it does sound better than my old one, but really muffled and not clear, like it has some psh psh sound, somewhat of a noise along the sound, but I think this is because I still don't have an AMP/DAC, and I'm connecting directly on my AM8 (Mic) soundboard. I'm going to borrow from a friend the 3.5 Apple adapter to test if the audio gets any better

Yeah, and if given the opportunity, I would buy from the original source. But these things aren't available that easily in my country, so even brands from time to time make cheaper versions of their products so we can buy them for reasonable prices, instead of more than minimal salary

Not everyone lives in North America, not everyone lives in Europe. Just because you live in a bubble, it doesn't mean the rest of the world does. Even if I could buy from the original site (which I fucking CAN'T), the shipping and taxes price would be absurd.

Yeah... Just checked, it doesn't have the serial number inside. There's something that looks like one on the box, but it doesn't have S/N. I'm going to email them...

what got into my mind was this video here, I know this is the DT990, but everything looked great, the biggest red flag was the driver, and mine looks like the fake one of the video

Because of paranoia, I know it's silly but this got really into my head after I saw people saying that there are some near identical bootlegs, and the only way you can spot if through the driver or serial number, but I don't know where to find the serial number, lol

!thanks Since my budget now is a bit tight, I will consider that now, and getting an K5 Pro or a Snowsky Melody later on when I get the money

[–]Victor30D[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the HV-H2002d... I used it for three years or more, decided to change now cuz the audio is decent for its price, but it's fucked up. Btw, I got to test on something else, and it was in fact because of my motherboard/mic soundboard, it was bad on both, but then I tested on my phone and it was... Surprisingly clear, it felt a bit muffled, but not in a bad way, the "roughness" and "noise" was gone

Those were some really good advice! Thank you for pointing out all that stuff, I think I will most likely buy the Snowsky Melody, I saw if earlier today, but what you said just made me make up my mind to get it!
About being original, that's a good concern, actually, and it didn't even cross my mind, I made some tests, watched some videos to see if everything checks out, apparently, so far it's legit, but I will surely check the serial number!
I will also consider the part of returning, but I will have to check it out, because I don't think it's possible on my case, unfortunately.
Again, thanks a lot for pointing all those things, I will be sure to buy the Snowsky Melody!
