A lot of complaints about that guy seem to come from people who, in increasing order of inability to game: 1) Never weapon swap 2) Stand still to try to bait out the attack (instead of backpedaling and waiting for the dude to run at you) 3) want to use their favorite weapon, which turns out to be something like the plasma rifle or chain gun.

Also if you're not on nightmare on the first run, I highly recommend at least looking at the game on nightmare after, even if it's just a master level or one of the earlier levels with all of your current unlocks. I also personally like rebinding the weapon swap keys so that everything after 5 is something much closer to WASD (Q is super shotgun, E is Ballista and X is chain gun atm for example, with melee swapped to F because of 2016 muscle memory).

Question

Which subbing groups for Vtuber content are considered the "best"?
I clicked on a few clips and now get recommended others that are kinda clickbaity in the titles.
I've heard of other clips being translated in such a way that they caused misunderstandings with the English speaking fanbases.

I am both more and less qualified to talk about this than everyone else because I know Japanese. I'm less qualified because I actually have an all translator feed but I mostly have it on to listen to in the background.

So the general rule is that the faster the subs are done the less reliable they are, I would guess anything done within a day or two of the source video should be considered guilty until proven innocent, since it probably hasn't been passed around the translator discord once for editing nor has the translator thought at all about what impression it gives new viewers of the vtuber.

The other rule is that any typo, spelling error, or nonsensical sentence in English is a huge red flag. This usually indicates the translator 1) does not have English as a first language 2) is not doing an editing pass for sense making. 3) Might even be using machine translation to supplement their bad language skills.

Negative examples of channels that have bad translation ability:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4Fh9OcvIEWK405Cvg25jDw Sushi[Hololive and Vtubers]
Reasons: Usually clips done within a day or two. Seen them not understand a quiz in Calliope's JP only stream where he didn't understand a JPLT4 question at all (JPLT1 is the top level and is basically considered a joke if you are familiar with the language)

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF4-I8ZQL6Aa-iHfdz-B9KQ OtakMori Translations
Reasons: Clips usually done within hours. They translated Mano Aloe's apology stream so badly that the r/hololive mods (who are COVER employees) have removed the clip for its shittiness. The clickbaitiness is also a red flag.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg02KL1G0nmH0QzFuLsVoRQ Vtuber Tengoku
Reasons: One of my JP proficient friends who likes Subaru a lot says it's been bad (lol, I can't give high quality reasons for everything!)

In general if a translator does exclusive content for one vtuber at a consistent rate, with good, cognizant English with about the cadence of once a week (and maybe also consistently simps for their vtuber) these are all good signs.

Good channels:

They did the Korone DOOM videos. Just good overall.

Somehow manages to listen to like 10 people cross talking at high speeds, subtitle them accurately AND has a good sense of editing. I actually watch their videos because I have problems hearing things through crosstalk and I've never disagreed with a choice they've made. Just look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWVt0YnSYEY

Just general good impressions + has also tried to advocate for higher quality translations

Almost 100% focused on Matsuri, consistently donates to her in her streams, is a mod on her channels, made her outro, has a callout on her channel... also wrote a document trying to explain what the gold standard for translations should be, and I believe I read it but have no proof that he was the one that translated the channel rules into English and is now pasted across every hololiver's channel description.

He is god.

Edit: Formatting so it doesn't just look like an undifferentiated batch of text

To point out, Fiendfyre works on boggarts, Quirrel has an (unnamed) spell that squirts out magical acid that is heavily damaging and painful and worst comes to worst, Imperiusing Spinel into coming contact into his wand and being transfigured would probably work (unless she has some sort of latent magic resistance, but any shields which can be dispelled would probably be dispelled).

As for speed:

Harry could hardly see it, could hardly make out anything amid the lights and flashes, [from his position a few meters away] but the scene was still too small, and Harry had the feeling he wouldn't be able to understand even if he was watching from a meter away, it was all happening too fast, red blasts deflecting from blue shields, green bars of light clashing together, shadowy forms appearing and vanishing, he couldn't even tell who was casting what, except that the Auror was shouting incantation after incantation and frantically dodging while Professor Quirrell's Polyjuiced form stood in one place and flicked his wand, mostly silently, but now and then pronouncing words in unrecognizable languages that would white out the whole mirror and show half the Auror's shielding torn away as he staggered back.

Harry had seen exhibition duels between the strongest seventh-year students, and this was so far above it that Harry's mind felt numbed, looking at how far he had left to go. There wasn't a single seventh-year student who could have lasted half a minute against the Auror, all three seventh-year armies put together might not be able to scratch the Defense Professor...

And also Quirrell essentially singlehandedly hexes and stuns an entire corridor full of 44 Hogwarts students, with several of them competent enough to become Aurors on graduation with numerous dueling accolades and, of course, Quirrell has obviously never lost a duel against a Wizard with two obvious exceptions which do not apply here.

Maybe Spinel is strong and fast, but actual reasons need to be provided.

This is incorrect. Severe does not mean on a ventilator. It does include those on a ventilator though.

Source? It's been a while since I checked, maybe I'm wrong here. I know that ventilators aren't helping and last time I checked 2 months ago there was some evidence they made mortality outcomes worse.

"Official body" VintageGin's friends.

The second sentence is saying that, even by official standards of "mild" the symptoms would still appear "severe" according to what VintageGin's friends would say. I guess I could have made this clearer and not had it at the bottom of a sigless post where it's easily missable.

Severe doesn't mean "literally dying where you stand to a level where you can't call an ambulance."

When a covid case is classified as "severe" by official bodies, this is in fact what's happening, because they have to be on a ventilator. Now I am not too familiar with bad disease progression, but even "mild" cases are walking pneumonia and have been recounted as "feel like the person is dying".

"mild" is kind of a bad label because it can be anything from little to no symptoms or "technically not going to hospitalize even though you have fever and feel like death because you don't check this list of symptom boxes"

I thought it wasn't owned by the chinese government and user data isn't even kept on chinese servers? I don't see how user data from tiktok is any more of a risk than user data from facebook and twitter.

well, there's a certain (unnamed) country which, for example has tried to have encryption outlawed as munitions about 25 years ago, has been silently and unaccountably been ordering websites to turn over user data and has also cracked made substantial inroads into undermining HTTPS, the fundamental security bedrock of the internet.

This country does not own the companies it has obtained data on and in fact data centers outside of the country's boarders (but still owned by a business primarily operating out of the country) have even more widespread permission to carte blanche steal this data.
