Have to say as much as I want to watch their streams, I can't get passed the annoying voice.

I had a quick look and the streams it made the hair stand up on the back of my neck.

Not in a good way. The write up wasn't so bad but the entire package is too much for me.

  • I went and checked out the YouTube video attached to one of the tweets. Just...wow. I see what you mean.

This shouldn't be controversial to say, but it's blatantly obvious that it's a voice changer.

Yeah... I was hoping to passively watch it, maybe gleam something but yeah.

The other thing too, watching other people code is kind of not fun like George or Rene. More fun to see some screeching video with no actual info just the end result of a robot pissing in a cup.

Also goes to show how much work goes into writing code/having some end result. Maybe it will get more exposure since there is a growing trend for vtuber stuff.

  • You don't like watching George? His coding streams always get me hyped enough to work on my own projects.

    • The stuff he works on and OP above is beyond my current level/field. I wouldn't really watch it to follow along rather just for the company/background noise. Maybe learning something in the process. Currently I don't watch anyone regularly for code.

      I get it though, I used to watch Social Network or Silicon Valley to hype myself up to pursue something. Now my problem is too many projects ha.

Bah I've watched some of Jon Blow's vidéos on Jay, even though he's much more pleasant to watch on video, it's still annoying: a normal blog would be so much more 'efficient'.

I've said the same but I got flagged on hacker news for saying it. I'm not quite sure why it's an objectionable thing to say.
