    I’ll be honest, when I got my ass blown up by a trip mine 1 minute from completing a S tier pizza delivery, stumbled into the bunker shamefully with a half ruined pie, and a vtuber popped up to take delivery and told me she was the very same person who put the trip mines by the door, this old man did crack a smile.

      It can be done right. Like a dragon infinite wealth has a vtuber character as part of its story line, they use the account to spread lies about the main character and part of the story is trying to figure out who controls the channel.

      But yeah, I don’t see most games doing it that way lol

        To me, it’s about the voice and avatar on screen and not the content. They never fully match (I am super sensitive to sync between audio and video) which just puts it into super creepy and inhuman on top of the weird (to me, anyway,) animated avatar (and I don’t just mean Japanese-anime-style either; I’ve seen robots, more photo-realistic, etc.).

          interestingly it’s mostly the big corporation-backed models that have bad sync. independent streamers seem to care more about that and there is a clear difference in quality.

      It’s just someone you make deliveries to. If you’ve played the first one, then you’ll know just how little they’re in the game (you don’t even have to continue going there after connecting them to the grid if you don’t want to).
