I did not expect the coding live streams of GPU engineering to be presented by a virtual anime persona with a squeaky voice.

Better believe in cyberpunk futures; you're in one.

As interesting as it would be to watch some of these streams, it's completely unbearable to watch and listen with this persona involved. If they were trying for something that would ensure a very niche audience, this was a good choice. I honestly find it very hard to take someone seriously who chooses this kind of persona, even though it's hard to argue with their technical ability and results.

Personally, I was more suprised by the wii sports music and all the pink.

  AFAIK, that is music made by Marcan (Lina) him/her self. Amongst other talents, Marcan also appears to be musician. There are a few interviews with Marcan where you can see pianos in the background, for example here: https://youtu.be/dF2YQ92WKpM?t=989 https://youtu.be/dF2YQ92WKpM?t=989 He/she is quite the creative person I must say.

It's just Marcan being weird and creepy.

  Marcan is very busy with a lot of other things, like upstreaming patches to the Linux mainline and improving platform support. He's been clear that he's not Asahi Lina... and he's also not a GPU hacker as far as I know.

    What’s your deal? What a weird denial.

      I thought it must be him, but saw where he denied it publicly on Twitter, so I took him at his word.

      what's your deal? what weird attempt at doxxing, this shit shouldn't be allowed here.

        Is identifying a silly VTuber as a well-known person considered doxxing?

    > He's been clear that he's not Asahi Lina You cannot be this gullible. "Asahi Lina" is a pseudonym for Marcan.

      Guess I am.

Me either. I don't really get the V-Tuber thing (other than wanting to stay anonymous) but having code explained to me by an anime character is hilarious.

  I don't mind that much thr anime character. But the voice is simply unbearable.
