General Thread v2: Enhanced Segregation Techniques!

[electronic elephant]

Nerissa's brother apparently built himself some sort of blacksmith forge to mess around with and try to make things. Sometimes Nerissa gets him to make things for her. She gave the example of paying him $100 to make her a mic stand.

I have it on good authority that Mozu was sadgirling about the Oceane firing in a members stream

"her friend got fired, and started causing drama about it, and people believed it.
That Mozu can't address any of it, clear her name, or make peace with her former friend without all manner of legal issues.
That Mozu understands that people hate her.
She's just frustrated that the drama will never die and people won't move on.
She said she still wishes nothing but happiness and success for the girl, and she still can't just let it go.
She hopes she can find peace."

I'm not aware of Zoey causing any drama lately

Maybe something for someone to investigate

@God's Strongest Mozumite thoughts?

• The part about drama being started about Mozu sounds right, I've heard several rrats about Sava's involvement in the Oceane firing ranging from her being a victim of the supposed doxing rings to her being implicit in getting Oceane fired.
• Mozu is probably still under NDA from Kawaii. I wonder if by the time it runs out if she would even want to talk about it anymore.
• I have to wonder who Mozu's concerned with when she says people hate her. /pkg/? Zoey's fans? The alledged indonesian doxers? All candidates but frankly she shouldn't worry about these people in the first place.
• Mozu is a very sweet girl wishing Oceane the best despite everything.
• I'm not aware of any Zoey drama either.

Overall I feel bad for Mozu and I hope she feels better. Despite all the strides she's made with being an indie and founding V-Dere the Kawaii era will hang over her head for a while. Like she did for Oceane, I wish her happiness and peace MOZU LOVE!

I decided since it was Holoween time, going to write a creepypasta

Spoiler: HOLO.MP4

I'm a total Hololive fan much like everyone else, I like the newer talents, but I don't mind watching the original talents. I don't think I've ever watched cursed or disturbing streams before, though I don't think I want to watch any after the experience I had...
It started on a nice summer afternoon, I was watching Korone play Sonic (I liked how she laughs a lot) until I noticed, out of my peripheral vision, that I got a discord message. I paused my stream to go see the discord message... The only thing was a giant post.
I looked at the post first and realized it was from my dear friend Kyle (Let's just call him that), whom I hadn't heard from in 2 weeks. I know that because I recognized his handwriting, though what was weird is how it looked; it looked badly written and scratchy and somewhat difficult to read, as if Kyle was having a hard time writing it down and did it in a hurry.
This is what he wrote...
"Negzana,
I can't take it anymore, I had to get rid of this thing somehow before it was too late, and I was hoping you'd do it for me. I can't do it, he's after me, and if you don't destroy this CD, he'll come after you too, he's too fast for me....
Please Negzana, report this god-forsaken VOD before she comes after you too, it's too late for me.
Report the stream, and you'll get her banned, but do it quick otherwise she'll catch you. Don't watch the vod, it's what she wants, just report it.
Please...
Kyle"
Well, that was certainly weird. Even though Kyle IS my best friend and I haven't seen him in 2 weeks, I didn't do what he asked me. I didn't think that a simple gaming disc would do anything bad to him, after all it's just an archived VOD right? Boy, was I wrong about that...
ANY way, I looked at the disc and it looks like any ordinary computer CD-R disc, except it had black marker on it written "HOLO.MP4", and it was much unlike Kyle's handwriting, meaning that he must've gotten it from someone else, like a pawn shop or eBay. When I saw "HOLO" on the writing of the CD, I was actually excited and wanted to play it, since I'm a a BIG Hololive fan.
I went up to my room and turned on my computer and put the disc in and installed the game. When the title screen popped up I noticed that it was a Hitomi Chris stream, I was like "Awesome!" Because like I said earlier I liked the originals and this was a long lost stream of a vtuber who was terminated. The first thing I noticed that was out of place was when I started the VOD, there's was a split second when I saw the loading image turned into something much different, something that I now consider horrifying, before cutting to black.
I remember what the image looked like in that split second before the game cut to black; The background had darkened, the Hololive emblem was rusted and ruined, the COVER 2016 was now instead COVER 666, and pink colors had turned red, like blood, except it looked hyper-realistic.
But the freakiest thing that was in that split second frame was Hitomi Chris, her eyes were pitch black and bleeding with two glowing red dots staring RIGHT AT ME, her glasses were cracked with shards of glass piercing around her eyes bleeding, and hersmile had stretched wider up to the edge of her face. I was rather disturbed about that image when I saw it, though I figured that it was just a glitch and forgot about it. I then realized that in writing this I had to read Sonic.EXE and my eyes were already bleeding so I gave up trying to write this, goodnight everybody. Really wanted to write this and end it with a bloody Friend With U Hitomi Chris plushie but this is boring

Spoiler: D&D sperging

Meanwhile the Wizard get's more useful spells Hold/Charm Person Dominate Mirror Image Blur Invisibility Web Gust of Wind. Or let's be honest the cleric and wizard are best friends because Enlarge makes them Scary and Reduce makes them Scared.

Then again you seem to be going off BG3 so i'm not sure how good those spells are there.

Spoiler: Dicefaggery

It's standard 5e mechanics, I wish Larian were cool enough to fully incorporate Tasha's or Xanathar's instead of just picking piecemeal parts because the feat selections are broadly shit in BG3 otherwise unless you're picking purely for flavour or RP and not trying to actually optimize. If they had the Fighting Initiate perk in BG3 base with Unarmed as an option to choose it would make the Tavern Brawler monke retard build even more ridiculous because as noted, it makes your unarmed strikes at level 1 be 1d8+Str which Monk doesn't get scaling normally until you'd already be in act 3.

Hold [x] and similar control spells are always a bit of a contentious choice because it's a save or suck. It's GOATed when it works but if it's resisted you just wasted a spell slot that could have been used for something that at least deals half damage on fail. Hold Person is also on the Cleric base spell list for what it's worth; Trickery domain gets Charm Person, Blink, Mirror Image and Dominate Person as well. Silence is also a base Cleric spell, and without some specific sorts of character builds to make a Fight Wizard that can stand in melee, a Cleric has a better average success of throwing down in a No-Thunder Dome by dropping Silence at their feet and demonstrating what it means to worship Ilmater by visiting untold suffering on the poor fuck that can't scream for help as they get bodied.

Arcane always has the benefit of flexibility and the span of the Wizard spell list means that even if they don't know/prepare a spell themselves they can have scrolls for a lot of occasions, and while Cleric isn't exclusively capable of a lot of the mitigation, curative and tactical spells they get access to since they share a lot of overlap with Druids, Paladins, Rangers and Bards, they are the one class among them that is almost a full martial and a full caster simultaneously in base form that don't require that much of a specific build or subclass to stand in the frontline. There's a lot to be said for someone that can fight side by side with a Fighter or Paladin but also has the same number of spellslots as a Wizard even if they don't have all the same spells. If they're a Light domain cleric though, they'll have The Good Shit; Burning Hands, Flaming Sphere, Scorching Ray, Fireball, Wall of Fire and a few other spells granted to them as part of their domain.

A dude in medium armour able to sling weapons and magic, with additional powers aside. That Light Cleric at level 6? Throws out a Scorching Ray, runs into melee. Goon takes a swing at them, Cleric says "Fuck you, with Disadvantage" (Warding Flare) and forces the enemy to miss. Two more guys come in, one misses because 19AC, one manages a hit for 11 damage but the Cleric has 57 HP because +2 Con and Tough at level 4 and barely thinks about it. Next turn they Channel Divinity and scorch every hostile asshole within 30 feet of them for 2d10+6 radiant (1/2 on Con save). Anyone that thinks "Maybe I should avoid getting close to that incandescent lad and stay in cover" gets the unique joy of realizing Fireball goes around corners, it reaches out to 150 feet, and the Cleric can cast it three times because domain spells are always prepared and don't count against the list of prepared spells.

random assortment of stuff I stumbled upon lately

• Another vtuber forum, seems to have around 10 users and at least one is a Snuffy schizo: https://varishangout.com/index.php?forums/vtubers.13/
• First thing I see as I join the PS Store: a Wactor DLC for Neptunia still available (also on Steam and others). All these 3 girls graduated already
• One of those however resurfaced recently: Misturugi Lia who was said to have made a suicide attempt in her official announcement. She's fine and back to her usual content
• Akira the CEO updated https://wactor.tech/ after more than a year. Since the "Members" section of the frontpage is empty he just deleted that part of the website and resorted to lying about his presence in the Americas.
• At the time of writing there are 9 "Wactor" members, all asian and none of which try to connect with an overseas audience

See you on page 950 for based @Empty_Inbox Recap. Mad respect for Tenma, Ami and other wagies

The most likely scenario is that Konami has gone the lazyest way possible. That is, taking the PAL version of the game, that ran effectively at 25 FPS*, and plopped it into an emulator. They changed some text to reflect the PS5/Xbox buttons and called it a day.
And why would they go for the PAL version? Because that one has all the EU languages plus a language selector, so less shit to do.

*Back in the NTSC/PAL era, NTSC games ran at 480p60Hz and PAL at 576p50Hz so when they ported games to EU they could recode the game so the FPS align with the slower refresh rate, or what the majority of companies did, blow up the image to fill the higher resolution(or straight up leave black borders), and slow down the game to go from 60 to 50 Hz, which made 30FPS games run at 25 and 60FPS games at 50.

It's honestly not that bad and pretty much a non-issue if you grew up with those versions only. The difference can be massive in comparison though, especially if on top of the lack of speed optimisation the picture dimensions are not corrected either (PAL standard uses more lines than NTSC so vertical size is larger, with bad conversions or none at all it results in a squashed picture). Final Fantasy X was pretty egregious about it back in the day but it's still fine if you compare it to games that tried PAL optimisation and botched it half-way (Xenosaga Episode II for one - which was the only episode released in PAL regions by the way):

Vtuber releases a Baldur's Gate 3 song cover so good that even the RPG's composer loves it

Down By The River gets a composer-approved cover from Hololive's Nerissa Ravencroft

www.gamesradar.com

In a surpring twist, a gaming website has released a VTuber article (more like half opinion piece, though) that is actually not shit. Not a very long article, mind you, but basically talked about Nerissa's Down by the River cover, talked about other popular cross-sections between Holo and gaming, talked about the game composer liking it, and praised the Cover with some nice words. Nothing special, just a nice juxtaposition between the usual shit, like that Polygon piece.

Of course they would. I feel like I recognize the name of the place for some reason though. I seem to have an impression it came up at some point back on KF?
