sonny!

I love this autistic sociopath who's turning Minecraft into his own personal animal cruelty simulator.

Yeah, I'm honestly pretty fine with this. I think it's really hard to have a 'brotuber' as people envision it in NijiEN because there's still a lot of fanbase overlap, and the males' audiences are primarily thirsty women. You have to adjust to the audience you've been given or risk not finding an audience at all. What Sonny's been doing is close enough to what I wanted in the first place, and I can just skip streams I'm not interested in or skip superchat readings. I hope it doesn't change to more pandering and it really worries me how parasocial some of his audience's already gotten, but I've been happy with his schedules and his approach to superchats so far. I can't expect someone to be exactly what I want, after all. I'm not someone who thinks I own a vtuber because I throw money at them.

This was such a great Katana Zero stream from Sonny! I think this'll be the one I recommend in the future for people wanting to check him out - a fun and lively playthrough of a really stylish and somewhat technical game.
People often complain about Sonny's lack of commentary during gameplay and that didn't really improve here, but his voice acting skills while fully voicing the game really carried it. He pulled off an impressive variety of voices - from 'Russian Wakamoto' to loli to 'vaguely British James from Team Rocket' - and his voice choices and character impressions of Uki and Luca were utterly hilarious.
I'm really glad he decided to pick this game back up. I was disappointed that he skipped the story last time and delighted to hear that he'd try it again while paying attention, but I never expected it to be such an improvement from his first playthrough. You can really see how much he's improved as a streamer, and how he was able to play to his strengths here. I feel like a proud older sister.

Thanks for listening to my TED talk. Truly a pleasant surprise for a stream I thought I'd miss today.
