He just simps for one. @Benice was right that someone would get a canon waifu, just not about who. You...! How dare you! I'm not... I'm... not... ...Crap! I must cleanse myself! Quick, what is the most western game you can come up with!? 6 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: Should i? It's all that remains at this point. I'd do it myself, but I'm not as well-versed in the ways of anime. Plus, me being the subject, I'd be biased, wouldn't I? 1 minute ago, twilitfalchion said: Indeed.

Spara Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Never thought I'd see the day Ruben, even jokingly, would contemplate becoming a vtuber. That's new. Also, Twilit, that damn meme you sent last night in that discord server... it still haunts me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooks Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I can’t say I actually have an opinion on VTubers. This is the first time I’ve ever seen any VTuber content but if they all are so cute trying to read English then my opinion is positive.

If you'd care for the demographic notes: Spoiler Demography and Totals Student Demographics Prospective students who came looking for a higher education, if not always a degree, were a socially mixed lot and changed composition over the university’s formative three centuries. Initially, many were mature or novice priests, friars, and monks sent by their superiors to upgrade their skills and usefulness to the Church. Like most medieval students, they had pronounced vocational goals, even more so. Their careers began in the Church, and they wanted them to end there, albeit on the higher rungs preferment ladder than had they not the university education. The majority of students were middling-class urbanites, possessing scholastic backgrounds enabling various financial advantages over other students. These financial advantages, provided via family, sponsors, or the university itself. Paid for the relatively expensive academic course, consisting of: Room and board. Matriculation, lecture, disputation, commencement fees. Fees for membership in student “nations”. Socially and academically appropriate clothing. Books, parchment. Entertainment. As universities proliferated, they tended to recruit from the local regions rather than all of the European continent. This lowered the cost of university, due to a decline in the need to fund nations ( for the protection of foreign students and provide them with ready socialization. The growth of international credit arrangements, loans, credit notes, and currency exchanges, enabled students to study all over Europe. Earlier on, the sons of noblemen were conspicuously absent outside of Italy. But gradually, nobles were attracted to universities for at least cultural polishing and social connections. For second sons who wouldn’t inherit their father’s fief, training in careers in the Church or the law provided them with good independent incomes. Pauperes- matriculants from the poorer classes without surnames or connections. Made up 15-25% of the best-documented universities, mostly in northern Europe and the Holy Roman Empire. As there were no concerted social commitments to improving the lives of the poor students, most universities simply allowed them in without paying matriculation fees and discounted lecture fees. -But, fees were only deferred until the “onset of better fortunes” meant it was time for the now-less-poor students to pay their debts. Several Paris and Oxford & Cambridge colleges did provide endowments to provide for poor students. Particularly in the arts and theology. True paupers were given license to beg, in the spirit of mendicant friars. Many students, more than merely the poor, worked their way through college, by… Serving faculty and rich classmates. Toiling in dining halls and kitchens. Singing in local church choirs. Tutoring younger students. Gardening. Laboring in campus construction. Copying manuscript books for stationers. Population The growing popularity of education in Europe led to a proliferation of universities, but growth in student enrollments was fluctuating at best. Epidemics, war, drought, grain price increases, and competitor universities all drained student enrollment time and again. The University of Paris was initially the largest university, with perhaps 5000 students. But by 1464, its population -masters, students, and staff combined- numbered half that. At their height, Bologna, Toulouse, Avignon, and Orleans each matriculated at least 400-500 students annually. Oxford seldom exceeded 2000 students, but seldom fell below 1500. Cambridge settled around 700 students per year, never more than 1300. German universities had enrollments that numbered no more than a few hundred. TL;DR It was mostly urbanites from the middle-ish classes ("the middle class" as we know it was created at the very end of the Middle Ages/the start of Early Modern Period). Nobles were fairly few at first, and there is no way you'd send the heir to the throne to a university, or have the headmaster be the pope. Yes, it's 3H that made me want to read a little on the subject, to see how the real thing functioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armagon Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 My opinion on Vtubers is that I like watching clips of the funny moments but I don't know if I'd ever tune in to a full stream of theirs. Well I don't watch a lot of streams in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayni Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Okay, so for other weird shit, I got a good laugh out of this.

null Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Karaoke streams are what pulled me in, lol. The English streams are nice for some background noise though. Japanese streams are really more for the immersion of hearing a native speaker as I'm learning the language. Doesn't mean I don't find them entertaining though.

So if i understood this right, poorer folks were allowed to attend free of charge/discounted but once they became financially stable (for the times), the university would actually start charging them. 2 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: I feel mostly the same, yes. ...Wait, no, that's not allowed-- WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING TODAY!?
