So Sayu did a collab with Hime, Tobs, and Yuko yesterday as part of her subathon. Yes, I'm slow, but sometimes life gets in the road of watching anime girls be idiots.
Normally, finding a specific segment in a donothon is a huge chore. Not this time, though: you can watch the collab right from the start of the video without any timestamps, and you will have only missed the very start.
Quick notes:
- The game they played was called Codenames. Collab went for about two hours. The game where you had to guess a secret word based off clues the other team gives. Not a very fun game, from what I could see.
- Rie loses every game she plays but damn if she doesn't win MVP of the collab every single time. It's quite telling that the one clip on Sayu's channel from the collab was instigated by Rie (link at end). Rie really shows her collab skills in what could have been a much more unmemorable and possibly even awkward collab without her. She says out-there things and repeatedly tries to draw the other three in to her crazy ideas, tries to draw random funny associations for words, all sorts of things that help save the collab from crashing and burning.
- Sayu does alright in terms of engaging the group, but she's a clear second place. Yuko is strangely unmemorable - and I don't think anyone would accuse Yuko of being unmemorable in any other circumstance, but she manages it here. I'll be damned if I could tell you anything about Tobs after the collab.
- Someone please add, "I was always really curious about what... what being fucked by a tentacle would feel like," Himemiya Rie to the random text file. Thanks.
It's not Rie's best collab, but if you want proof that Rie is actually really good at collabs, this is a great stream for it. It's easy to say someone is good at collabs when they're hanging with friends and shooting the shit, but when Rie is with people she's relatively unfamiliar with, the game isn't entertaining, and the collab risks getting awkward, she really shows her skills and saves the colab. Good job, Rie.
Bonus clip where Rie shares her love of octopii and squid with the rest of the group:
Man I wish these collabs didn't happen at such a bad time for me.
