It's so comical to see a literal VTuber developer doing absolutely awesome work on an extremely high technical level, and better yet, on HNs frontpage almost every week.
God bless anime.

- Thaxll 4y agoThe voice is very annoying though, amazing work none the less.
- rjzzleep 4y agoOMG I just saw it for the first time. That's a nightmare. I didn't expect it to be like this when I read your comment.
- Karsteski 4y agoyea, I tried to watch her livestreams but I can't deal with the voice. Still though, very cool stuff
- unpopularopp 4y agoYeah the voice changer is crazy. Like the work and sometimes I peak the stream. Wish I could watch it with sound but it's unbearable after a couple of minutes.
- riskable 4y agoWhat we need is a highly technical VTuber that's good with audio to work on this problem for us!
- sscarduzio 4y agohe's actually very competent at audio, just he really clings to this hardly intelligible voice filter for some reason.
- raffraffraff 4y agoI've seen this channel before. I don't care what the content is, I can't listen to it.
- Tijdreiziger 4y agoIt’s weird to me that she’s using such a high-pitched voice, because there are many successful VTubers with lower-pitched voices.
- _ph_ 4y agoFor me, it isn't annoying, I basically cannot understand it most of the time. Which of course kills the whole thing for me.
- Reason077 4y agoReally needs subtitles/closed captions to be enabled!
- duxup 4y agoI really hope these folks get some AI / video masking / voice masking tech that isn't horrible soon. Dang that video... I think of myself as pretty open to whatever folks want to do and all, but it is really hard to watch that video.
- bitwize 4y agoIt sounds like something from Interdimensional Cable. Like it's Justin Roiland trying to do an anime girl voice but it comes out as a sort of Mr. Meeseeks screech. This is the future of our profession. We've gone from long-term, long-form documentation, to blog posts, to talks... in the next ten years it'll just be anime pfps squeaking at each other.

- garaetjjte 4y agoHe streams normally on his main channel, https://www.youtube.com/c/marcan42/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/marcan42/videos, just the GPU series seems to be April Fools joke taken too far.

- delta_p_delta_x 4y ago> the GPU series seems to be April Fools joke taken too far. I see; interesting.
- kzrdude 4y agoHaha, this all is a weird reveal for me. In particular because now I know there are fewer people in Asahi Linux than I thought - since two of these personalities are one and the same.
- dotnet00 4y agoWhat? No, this vtuber thing is just very trendy in the anime community right now. The "her" is in quotes because the avatar is female, which is not related to whether or not they're trans.
- yazaddaruvala 4y agoBased on my own experience, you need to reevaluate your biases. I’ve had many avatars online, some male, others female, many not human. While it can be for others, my decisions were never about my feelings towards my gender or sexuality. I say this just to let you know these things are orthogonal. Just as you shouldn’t assume anything about a female child playing Peter Pan in the school production, you shouldn’t assume anything about a person’s gender or sexuality based on their “current” avatar (of possibly many current avatars).
- resoluteteeth 4y agoIt would kind of make sense for people who just don't want to show their face even if they don't want to be particularly vtuber-y I was wondering if this would be more common as the technology developed but it seems like it hasn't and instead there are specific ideas about what vtubers are supposed to be that have become entrenched. There are some people like Hikalium who are using vtuber avatars for live programming videos but not particularly doing a character though
- snek_case 4y agoWith deep learning you'll eventually be able to just have a very realistic avatar that looks and sounds like a real person. Might eventually be hard to tell if people are using something like this or not.
- dahfizz 4y agoIt's perfectly normal to stream and not show your face at all. Preferring to present as an anime character will always be niche.
- Dalewyn 4y agoIs it? I feel there's a much bigger tendency for westerners to show their mug and speak while Japanese prefer to hide (both mug and voice) if at all possible.
- dahfizz 4y agoYeah, definitely. There's a self selection bias where a person who wants to stream is going to tend to be a person who wants to show their face. But it is not weird / frowned upon if there is no face and the content itself (gaming, coding, whatever) is the entire screen. I think most normies would much prefer no face to an anime character. I do think it would be weird to hide your voice, though.
- cbm-vic-20 4y agoFor once, I'd like to see a VTuber presented as classic Warner Brothers characters. Let's see Porky Pig present this stuff. (Anyway, the work itself is great!)
- phkahler 4y agoI'd agree, but the voice chosen annoys the heck out of me.
- cjbgkagh 4y agoI thought it was Japanese to begin with. I had to listen carefully to parse the English. It seems to be a stylistic choice and I’m sure you get used to it after a while.
- tech234a 4y agoIt's worth noting that Asahi Lina and Alyssa Rosenzweig are two separate people though their work does overlap [1]. [1]: https://twitter.com/alyssarzg/status/1533624133929553922 https://twitter.com/alyssarzg/status/1533624133929553922
- Cyberdog 4y ago
- ZoomerCretin 4y ago10 minutes of Googling would show you that Hector is not the GPU driver developer in the Asahi project.
- Cyberdog 4y agoAnd the person who is denies being Asahi Lina. Meanwhile, Lina sometimes shows paths with "/home/marcan42" in shells during their streams. Martin's not admitting it but he's doing a poor job of hiding it too.
