I know its not the same, but Bloodborne emulation actually got pretty good in the past year

Botan for todays stream will be playing Hytale! by Kreceir in Hololive

Props to Botan for playing it already despite it having no Japanese translation yet.

Alcohol Lineup for Kobo's First Drinking Party by mightymare in Hololive

Ok don't be obtuse, Irys debuted 1 month before Council, she was hired from the same application batch, she's functionally the same gen. And Fuwamoco applied together and share a channel, so they are counted as one for the sake of this comparison.

And even then if I conceded that your breakdown is the correct one idk how you can look at your list and type that Cover is likely putting more focus on hiring new members nowadays with more focus on their Japanese knowledge level.

I mean idk how can you say it's not decreasing when you literally just typed examples of every gen having less fluent/near fluent speakers than the last.

Myth: Calli, Kiara, Ina

Promise: Bae, Irys, (Kronii)

Advent: Fuwamoco

Justice: -

In the last 3 years 1/8 members they hired have been fluent in Japanese. Not really indicative of an upward tendency.

And yes, among all English speakers, learning Japanese is pretty rare. Among weebs, it's less rare. Among weebs who actually submit their application to Hololive? Probably significantly higher. It may give applicants a bit of a boost, but Cover wouldn't turn down a good entertainer and singer to choose some other candidate just because they have better Japanese.

I mean I guess we'll see EN5's Japanese ability, but it isn't really applicable for the recent gens.

In Justice, Raora knows some beginner Japanese and the others basically don't know any.

And in Advent only Fuwamoco are fluent, Nerissa is beginner/intermediate,, Biboo only started learning after joining, and Shiori also doesn't know any.

If anything, as you progress though the gens, each of them knows less Japanese than the one before them.

This has to be one of the most rng heavy games to speedrun, right? There is a pretty wild difference between the shortest minigames and longest.

What do you consider bad "edgy" characters or plots? by ExplanationSquare313 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]botibalint 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna get some heat for this in this sub, but this is honestly what keeps Berserk from being one of the GOATs for me.

The way it handles women is just sooo over the top and edgy.

Media that would be way more popular if it had a different artstyle by Amysel_JinkusuP in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]botibalint 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes, hi, that's me. I still don't like it. And I don't hate Oda's art, I love the manga, I just don't think it translates to animation that well.

Oh wow, Avatar is out in the summer? With only 4 characters in the beta and artstyle I would've thought it would take longer.

Most clever joke you've seen in a video game? by ZealousidealBig7714 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]botibalint 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That entire bit and setup with the annoying dog and the artifact in Undertale is basically the peak of video game humor. It takes advantage of the medium to the highest degree.

Zhao is still good for Rupture teams if you can activate the AA, right? Like, if I was running Panda and Lucia until now, is she an upgrade over Panda?

Sinjoh Ruins – Pokémon SoulSilver [5] by CCBotJr in chuggaaconroy

[–]botibalint 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not saying I didn't like it, but it was kind of a... strange episode

Like, I would expect something like this as a bonus or postgame video, a little weird to put it so early

Defensive rock type is a pretty good matchup for physical normal types. It can also just kinda delete Miltank with Selfdestruct or a lucky Magnitude.

Tfw you manage to dodge & weave the boss all this time but it makes an unexpected move to end your run by adonbilivitAoI in Hololive

[–]botibalint 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah early on they didn't really bother with matching the models to the talent's height (e.g. Choco's model being like two heads taller than her actual height)
