I was wondering how long she's been doing this, and that she started at 17 makes sense of things. Dooby had about 50,000 people show up for her debut across Twitch and YouTube. Voices from the Distant Past Videos of the Tomorrow If you know who this is, you won't want to miss it, even though she'll just be playing a game and chatting. Same goes for this one. It's a heck of a weekend for fans of... A certain Japanese entertainment company. And Rica is having her Live2d debut on the 31st, so it's a heck of a week too. Disclaimer: Do not the Korsche.

4 Pixie, what is the animation software that create the videos you present here? I know nothing about this genre but cannot imagine these are not machine generated images to match the speech?
I'm not sure what Dooby is using for her 3d work. She has an entire home studio set up to match her 3d set, and she can climb around inside that virtual train. She even has an electric car of some kind that she can ride on that is linked to a miniature 3d train on screen. That's all pretty complicated though, not to mention expensive. Most vtubers use software called Live2d https://www.live2d.com/en/ or VTube Studio https://denchisoft.com/ since those don't require an elaborate setup. You just need a good webcam or smart phone to track your face and hands, and a 2d model that has been "rigged" to move the same way you do. All of this is done live, which is why it's so popular. The streamer can be talking and responding to viewers while in their virtual character. Posted by: Pixy Misa at October 26, 2024 04:22 AM (BLOW1) 14
I understood the words you wrote but what generates the “skin”?
Posted by: Pete Bog at October 26, 2024 04:20 AM (1/rkI) Not sure what the tech is these days, but two years ago, you had a "face rig" of some kind to motion-capture and software translated that into animation. Think Gollum but with anime girls. Posted by: pookysgirl, not sure what her preciousss anime would be at October 26, 2024 04:24 AM (dtlDP) 15
Yes, there's all sorts of levels to this, from plonking yourself at your desk with an iPhone in front of you, to Hololive's $20 million 3d studio.
The main difference to 3d motion tracking in movies is this is all (or at least mostly) done live. Posted by: Pixy Misa at October 26, 2024 04:28 AM (BLOW1) 16
Thanks for the explanation. We take for granted the incredible computational power involved in something like these animations.

Trump has to meet a very high bar to rule as our most authoritarian President ever. If he sends an ethnic minority to internment camps, tries to pack the Court, and stays in office for four terms, he’ll still only be tied. Posted by: andycanuck (hovnC) at October 26, 2024 05:42 AM (hovnC) 71
I have been reading the comments for the Trump/Rogan video. They are coming in from all over the world and they are remarkably and consistently favorable to President Trump. The MSM is having a collective headache about this. This video just eclipse their playing gatekeepers. This video seems to be something of a watershed moment in presidential politics and the media.

Trump on Rogan is very good. They had to raise the alarms against Trump to millions of decibels just to stop people from hearing him or forming their own opinions about him. I watched it happen. Going back to 2015. I documented it here.
None of the traditional attacks worked, then the non-traditional attacks didn't work, then the really offensive impossible stuff didn't work, so then they quickly moved to what we've been experiencing for a decade which basically amounts to just constant screaming. People mistake it as being because they "hate" Trump but it's really because they needed to shut him up. And by shut him up I mean color everything he says so people tune it out or get influenced not to listen. The guy is a force of nature. Going on Rogan a week before the election is genius. I will keep saying that if he is allowed to win and I'm not sure he will be, they have something in the can so big and ridiculous and planned that it will be the only thing talked about every day just like Russia, then impeachment, then covid was. I don't know what it will be but I have my suspicions. They cannot let Trump assume power *and* control of any portion of narrative. Posted by: ... at October 26, 2024 05:43 AM (lX8VI) 73

I am gonna be straight up honest, Greek food is not as good as Italian food. That is no great shame there are only a handful of great international cuisines. Some might quibble with my list but I did not make it. I do basically agree with it obviously. The great world cuisines are the ones people from other countries make an effort to eat on a regular basis. For example you might love Canadian food, but no one in Bangladesh is taking his date to a Canadian restaurant.
So the great world cuisines are Chinese, French, Italian, and Mexican. I expect blowback so I will throw in Japanese and Indian as also rans. If I had one thing throw in I like it would be Lebanese. Outside of that I think the list is tight. Posted by: Quint at October 26, 2024 07:35 AM (RZ77V) 188

Trump has to meet a very high bar to rule as our most authoritarian President ever. If he sends an ethnic minority to internment camps, tries to pack the Court, and stays in office for four terms, he’ll still only be tied. Posted by: andycanuck (hovnC) at October 26, 2024 *** Tied w/ Joey MushBrain's handlers, no doubt. These people can't count. Trump is, what, 78? He wouldn't live to see even twelve more years as President. (Though knowing what a force of nature he is, he might!) Unless this clown means four years more of Trump, then eight of Vance -- but he doesn't say that. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 26, 2024 05:55 AM (omVj0) No, Vermeule is alluding to Pres. Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Another thing FDR did was send Jews back to Nazi Germany when he wouldn't allow that passenger liner to make port in 1939-ish (name of the ship escapes me right now).

Trump has to meet a very high bar to rule as our most authoritarian President ever.

I think for some weird reason people sleep a lot of Mexican food. And I am not afraid to be controversial because I think Mexican food is way better than the rest of Latin America. The Mexicans had the influence of the Germans, the French, etc.
Are used to think when I first learned this list many years ago the Chinese was simple because it would just take out. It turns out that Chinese may be the most cuisine ever. The poor people never get it. French went out of style back in the 1980s in America. From our founding to the 1980s, anyone would tell you that French was best. The world that surprised me on the list was Chinese, but the more I thought about it, was right. Posted by: Quint at October 26, 2024 07:54 AM (RZ77V) 217

266, and our fast food for sure. France is just one example, but that country is easily one of the two or three top countries for McDonald’s. An argument can be made for American food, but it is much more difficult to classify.
Even with all the discussion which I love, I stand by my list that Chinese, French, Italian, and Mexican Or the top four world cuisines. As many of said here, you can get crap from a restaurant and really good stuff in a home. You can get really good stuff in a Russian home if the lady knows how to cook. You can also get great Russian food in a really good restaurant, I have tried some of their recipes and they are brilliant. But the four I mentioned our cuisines people eat all over the world all the time. In any legitimate country, you will have restaurants that serve those four cuisines. I am not saying they are necessarily better though they kind of are because they did it first. Also, all four of those countries are foodie countries. I don’t want to crap on Latin America, but just as an example, considering the immigration to this country, There is a huge difference from authentic Mexican and Latin American. The second cuisine can be great I Posted by: Quint at October 26, 2024 08:44 AM (RZ77V) 278
