Lovely dismissive comment from hacker news there.
Gonna start putting hacker in quotes like that n-gate person at this rate. There's some serious tech involved in these virtual streamers.
Make 2021 better.
- krapp 6y agoIf you want a good example of that see CodeMiko's setup using Unreal 4.
- corobo 6y agoAbsolutely! Miko was the first one of these vtubers I saw. The video of her taking off the mo-cap suit while still plugged in[1] hooked me and the technician (out of character behind the scenes) streams keep me coming back. I actually don't really watch the "real" streams as they're quite interview heavy with people I don't know[2] but I'm inhaling all the tech. Very impressive stuff! 1. https://clips.twitch.tv/UglyEasyPuddingDansGame https://clips.twitch.tv/UglyEasyPuddingDansGame 2. Nothing against them, I just follow a lot of high quality content streamers, sometimes someone's doing something more interesting is all. e: updated link to the source rather than some random YouTube reupload
- DeafSquid 6y agoWhy do people watch streamers??? I never understood how/why twitch took off
- Volundr 6y agoI've never understood it either, but I've also never understood the sports craze. I imagine the motivations/interest is similar. To each their own I guess.
- subjectsigma 6y agoWhy do people watch sports, reality TV, or Jeopardy? It's a zero-risk, low-effort way to participate in something interesting or the community surrounding it.
- DeafSquid 6y agoI don't know. I watch very little tv
