Video: Bakatare plays Paranormal Hong Kong


Hi there! It has been a while isn't it?

Well, to anyone who might read this, just know that I'm planning on publishing two new articles/post on this blog every week from now on.
It may come in many shape or forms, for example:
- Webnovel translations
- Creepy stories I found online
- Adding subtitles to videos/transcription
- Blog posts I may write entirely on my own about some topic I find interesting
- Anything I feel is worth a blog post really

 So that's about it for what is to come, now without further ado, on to today's matter!



(Hololive members up to and including the 3rd generation)

Lately I've been spending an ungodly amount of time watching VTubers, for those who may not know: basically streamers using a live2D avatar with motion tracking.
I first came across them with Kizuna Ai way back in time, around three years ago or so, it has been a particularly flourishing industry lately, notably because of big agencies surfacing and taking care of numerous talents, the two main ones being Nijisanji and Hololive. 

We're talking about over 100 Vtubers for Nijisanji and 40-50 for Hololive.
While I myself have mostly been watching Hololive streamers I've also enjoyed watching Nijisanji streamers on occasions, they even hold collab streams sometimes, usually worth a watch.

 After pondering about it for a few weeks, I decided to try and get myself used at translating and subtitling videos. While I've added subtitles to some videos in the past, I've never really hardsubbed* anything before, much less handled a video-editing software to do so.
I finally decided to try and get used to it by first using a stream aired on March 2020, it features three VTubers playing a horror game:
- Watame (the sheep)
- Flare (the elf)
- Fubuki (the cat fox)

 The game takes place in China, in the now gone Kowloon Walled City, in which you end up facing puzzling and dangerous events and phenomenons as you try to make your way out of this hell.
While the video in itself isn't ground shattering, it's a way for me to start doing something I hope I'll eventually get better at, my main point of focus for the videos to come will be timing my subtitles more accurately as well as cutting the video in a way allowing me to smoothen its rhythm more effectively.
That's about all I have to say about it really so here it is:




I will be working on the second part for some time, turns out this kind of stuff takes a while. My next post for this week will surely be something taking less time, such as translations of creepy stories or translating a chapter of a webnovel.

 Stay tuned!

Horror webnovel: I started working the night shift at a convenience store (Ch.2 pt1)

I started working the night shift at a convenience store (Ch.2 pt1) Chapter 2: Aoyama, Hirai, and Takenaka. (pt.1) "Hey, wake up! It's already noon!" "Hnnng... tone it down!" I groaned, wrapping the futon around me, tossing and turning. "I said wake up, big bro!" God she's so loud... and what's with the shaking? Stop it. I was in a bliss and fast asleep only moments ago, but my little sister's annoying laugh, some clicking sound that wouldn't stop, and the deafening sound of a cicada that had somehow found its way to the balcony had snapped me wide awake. I had decided to sleep until 4PM. The thought of waking up did cross my mind, but I decided against it. I won't let this much change my plans. "Hey! Come on!" "Just cook yourself noodles if you're hungry and leave me alone." "Huh?" "Don't you 'huh?' me. Let me sleep some more, I need it." "Tsh, I swear you're lazy eve...

  La chambre rouge: C'est l'histoire d'un homme ayant quitté sa campagne pour s'installer à Tokyo dans le but de continuer ses études à l'université.  Il lui fallut s'adapter à cette nouvelle vie. Les heures devinrent des jours, les jours des semaines, et les semaines des mois. Quelques mois après s'être installé dans son nouvel appartement, il se rendit compte qu'il avait une voisine dans celui juste à coté du sien.   Il finissait toujours ses journées de travails tard le soir alors que l'horloge indiquait presque deux heure du matin, et, ces soirs là,  il croisait invariablement cette jeune voisine alors qu'il montait les escaliers jusqu'au deuxième étage, où l'attendait son appartement. Elle avait de longs cheveux, et une silhouette élancée, et bien qu'elle semblait quelque peu maussade, il était sûr qu'elle était de toute beauté. Il n'avait cependant jamais vu son visage, ce dernier faisant toujours face au sol. Un jour, i...

Horror webnovel: I started working the night shift at a convenience store (Ch.2 pt2)

I started working the night shift at a convenience store (Ch.2 pt2) Chapter 2: Aoyama, Hirai, and Takenaka. (pt.2) From what I gathered listening to my sister, spirits came and went to the store. That much was fine. But some particularly strong or wicked spirits could also possess or haunt clients and workers alike, eroding their psyche in the process. Spending much time in a place oozing with such a negative aura would be a risky endeavor for psychics, let alone for your average joe. It could turn out horribly for them... or so the story went. "Turn out horribly? What's that mean?" "Like I'd know." She finished eating her caramel pudding, and turned around to face her computer again. "I don't have the slightest clue of what she meant. And no one really knows why but the surrounding woods seem to be the scene of tons of accidents every year. Just the other day, a motorcycle flew above the guardrail only to fall down a cliff. And that's not even ...
