I think she had a laptop borrowed from Cover when she started, didn't she?

she debuted using laptop borrowed from Yagoo himself.

I mean, didn't she just said "I want to play and stream this" And they gave her something to do it?

Not only that, she started knowing nothing about games, they started playing some and developped an interest and she is now buying a computer made for that new interest. It's easy to forget she's pretty new to video games with how well she do in some of them.

@@rebaxbayushi577 yep, this isn't a jab at Subaru as I'm her fan but at the start she really barely know anything about popular anime and video game culture in general. Makes me so happy that her dedication paid off

I think the only one that currently has less than stellar specs is Haachama and she has said she didn't mind since her 1060 runs Minecraft and she doesn't stream many other pc games.

@@Dontrel3030 Probably only streams Minecraft because she can't stream any other games with a 1060

Could probably build a custom one online, save the settings, send it to everyone, and let them buy if they need it. Maybe repeat every six months, for fun.

I could see this culminating into a wacky scenario where she's somehow in a top 100 Pred game in Apex where everyone just sorta assumed she belongs there, and despite being carried by her team she still somehow makes it to like top 50 it something, and leaves with none the wiser.

Is hardware used for intense load gets broken faster? Like my laptop is almost 10 years old and I'm playing games that keeps it at 100 usage and max temps, and it's completely fine.

@@skx5110 well the more you use less works well. Almost everything is like this if you use your car for 100k km it will do worse than your car when new

@@AndreaRebek well it's mechanical damage in car, so it's easy to understand why it becomes worse with time, but in pc, electricity is only thing that moving and as you can't see it normally, it's hard to imagine what's getting worse. And still it's weird then, I playing games on my laptop for 9 years and it's still fine and works perfectly, even if thermal paste reminds me of concrete it's steel working fine. Right now it's even overclocked a little bit and I'm playing heavy games since 2013-2014, but it works perfectly

@@skx5110 Intense load tends to wear a CPU or GPU faster, that's why you could find cheap GPU's on ebay back then because those were already used from mining crypto. I don't know how much % performance you'd lose though. Electronic components do get worn off by the heat notably in phones, laptops or even TVs. There's even this thing called "planned obsolescence" where manufacturers would place heat sensitive components close to a heat source in order to make the part fail after a set time so that you'd have to buy the product again. The fact your laptop still works great after this long is pretty amazing ! You must have taken good care of it.

@@linhbui647 well I almost didn't take care of it. It just lives perfectly after almost 2 years with clogged up radiator, and even now it have exactly the same thermal paste from 2012, that's why it looked like concrete dust when I took off cooling system to clean radiator

I’m trying to wrap my head around it because I do want a custom computer one day but all the numbers and pieces just sound like a different language to me

Wanted to say something like this. Nowadays, you can get better performance from AMD for the same pricetag. Intel can get to greater heights when overclocking, but other than that, I'd say AMD is currently winning the processing race.

@@javierchamorro8988 yeah for sure

But Botan uses Intel, so Intel wins this one

@@Theasaurus Right now I'd say they're on a bit of a "tie" but a little bit more inclined towards AMD. If it weren't because of the increase on their price tags on their newest processors AMD would've totally mopped the floor with Intel.

I agree that AMD Zen 3 processors are better for streaming today, but Intel Alder lake looks very promising - so that can change very soon.

Well its time sensitive, she needs it before sports festival

Good luck getting that new intel drop at retail price if its even in stock

new cpus always have issues at launch. since they make their living on computers it probably wouldn't be recommended to get it right away.

@@DrPie3030 But with the dropping of New CPUs the older ones reduce in price a bit.

She needs it for the sports festival so it's not really a choice

@@emitain8408 "...and I became a duck, but that is completely unrelated"

ngl the most anyone really will need for a looong time is probably a 3070 I literally have no idea what you'd do with a 3080ti........ and I fucking have one. It is a terrible investment.

@@Thesupremeone34 Maybe try to play Microsoft Fligh Simulator? From what i heard it is a very heavy game

@@CroxNK Yeah, even my 2070 doesn’t handle that game well. Although it could be that I have the wrong settings on lol.

@@emitain8408 Now i'm interested in just how heavy is the game, that even 2070 can't handle the game well

@@Thesupremeone34 Subaru is streaming and playing, using OBS and other background tools at the same time. It will eat up alot of memory on the GPU and if she wants to stream in good quality without any lag for the viewers, a 3080ti is probably the way to go. Also, if shes getting an UltraWide monitor, which are usually 1440p it requires even more. I have a 3080 and in very high demanding games it struggles to get to 100fps at 1080p even.

Im more surprised they dont ask her directly

@夢 Really the question would be how well multithreaded it all is. Would be an interesting test if 8 cores is no longer enough for that kind of streaming with a few different games. The individual workloads might saturate too badly, that's the old gaming issue. (I imagine for Botan Intel would still be best, Fps games are notoriously 1 thread workloads, and idk if the newer titles are really That much better). If she did more video editing I might agree though. I definitely would for my work. And price wise there could be a breakpoint of course, dunno how it is in Japan

@夢 This was true in the first Ryzen Generations which gave a very big and nasty surprise to intel who then had to respond with NOTHING for a solid 1-2 years. But they're about on par now and AMD is starting to loosen its grip on the multi-threaded market. Man were those Ryzen releases a hoot though, loved to see AMD finally clawing its way back into contention. There's also evidence to suggest that the GPUs AMD produces out-perform Nvidia basically across the board but are limited by APIs. This explains why under Vulkan AMD kicks the pants off Nvidia but struggles behind them under DirectX (the vast majority of games are programmed for DirectX so Nvidia in reality is almost always faster than AMD.)

@夢 Intel performs equally to AMD in gaming and worse in everything else.

The intel advice is a bit sketchy, only way I could see it is if botan was talking about hot off the press new intel that was announced like a week ago

Thank you. Not many people know this

I was thinking the same thing...

It is worth noting that different countries have different regulations which can lead to the specifics of what is covered under a given title being different. For example, the usage of Osteopath: To my understanding this is that, in the USA, while there used to be a difference, such a person is essentially a doctor, as the differences in qualification requirements have been eliminated over time. (of course, the USA also apparently doesn't have 'general practitioners', which is what people where I live mean when they say 'a doctor' with no further clarification, so who knows what's actually meant there...) Where as in New Zealand, where I live, this is someone who is licensed to perform a very specific manipulation of the neck (which, done right, can provide significant benefit to individuals with a very limited number of very specific problems, not that it always works, but if you stuff it up can Kill the patient... hence the need for training and licensing before you're allowed to do it, not trying it unless nothing else works, and even those who are so licensed preferring not to if other options exist) and is trained to be able to detect minor (or major) issues with the muscles and joints in your back and things directly there-to largely by touch. Beyond that, they tend to specialize and train in other fields. Some it's little more than unusually well targeted massage, others are basically full on physiotherapists, some employ supplementary acupuncture (another one where some people insist it does nothing, others that it's a miracle cure-all. Reality is that it's of some use for specific things, but outcomes can be erratic because it's highly dependent on factors that vary from individual to individual) , and various other techniques and equipment that allow them to get one's body to behave itself again without further damaging anything. They put a lot of emphasis on minor manipulations, that basically just get things out of each others' way (for want of a better term), make them relax, unpinch things, stuff like that, and when they do resort to larger manipulations it's basically identical to those used by Physiotherapists. (Also, they usually only see a given client for a given issue a small number of times, too. one or two, for most things. I had to go back a lot because I have an ongoing problem that regularly screws everything up again, not because the treatment (that specifically was never intended to deal with the underlying problem) didn't work.) Rather different things, with the same name. I'm lead to believe that many/most/all Chiropracters in Britain are complete scam artists on the level of homeopaths, whatever American Chiropractors do is, if less of a scam, also rather suspect in terms of benefits and risks... but what I've heard of Japanese chiropractors sounds to be different again. Even leaving that aside, all that is needed in order for 'Chiropractic Doctor' to be perfectly valid (well, plus or minus grammar changing things around a bit) is an appropriately accredited educational institution that issues doctorates in chiropractory.

I never thought about that but it is kinda weird

They hired Botan to be tech support but someone thought she'd make a good vtuber, so now she streams (This is a joke)

They… do? Literally here Subaru’s manager helped her purchase the PC.

Yup the stores actually hold back some gpus to sell only to clients who buys an entire system. As the entire system makes the most margin for them.

It's not hard to find 3080 TIs, they're extremely overpriced. Even in the current market most people don't buy them. My local store has no graphics cards except 3080 TIs. At MSRP a 3080 TI costs almost twice as much as a 3070 and delivers about 20-30% more performance.

tbh her old pc was more than enough. the heaviest game shes played is the cod collabs with botan

@@venkaramon true but it's not bad to invest on a powerful PC. It's going to be useful in the future.

It would be perfect if botan did it all the Russian Bros will roll up with her lol

I think 1/2 of that cost is the 3080.

Tbh for the games she streames and the resolution it is still quite overkill in my view but well who knows what the future holds.

@@Shadi8694 I never had an "overkill" pc spec but from what I heard is that 3080Ti is not so overkill for an ultra wide streaming setup, no? She did say that she's planning to buy an ultra wide monitor

@@Shadi8694 remind me of Korone, she has pretty high spec pc but she always plays retro game which doesn't require high spec pc at all 😆

no overkill but future proof buy so the PC can still run games that may be out in 2-3 years with no issues. It's impractical to buy a pc that will only accommodate titles that may come out for that year.

Helping out Kiara, Watame, Polka and Lamy shishiron might as well take the job. But jokes aside, it is kinda puzzling how a big streaming company doesn't have designated IT who will help on building PCs

@@passingweeb2217 So most companies would want to buy PCs in bulk so there's parity between everyone. But streaming is such a specific need that they're just buying machines that are built using aftermarket parts anyway. Might as well cut out the middleman

@@JohnyScissors you know is a lot easier to talk with friends than staff and her manager also helping out tho

you high?

Botan definitely followed the leaks

Probably, but when you’ve got a lot of good electronic stores in Tokyo it’d be nice to see everything in person.

The power of German engineering

Idk about german as far as i know about online shop Never buy devices (phone , pc, laptop) online.

Subaru need her PC before Sport Fes. Theres a probability the delivery got delayed if she Buying it online

No, usually with anything online, the japanese are so far behind it's almost shocking, like how the most common way of buying things on amazon is buying preloaded cards in cash at 7/11.

I paid for it HARD when Ryzen came out. They fixed it with later BIOS updates but I'd get fairly regular blue-screens which ended up killing my SSD. Really sad and I'd hate to see that happen to a streamer since for them it's more than just some fun, it's their livelihood.

@@Birdy890 was it the 2nd gen ryzens?

@@odealianaffairs9001 No. Ryzen is stable now, but they were having issues with slow-medium speed RAM which is exactly what I had.

@Raul No, it was the CPU, RAM and Mobo all being brand new and unstable. The bluescreens continued when I reinstalled on my HDD but due to the nature of the HDD vs the SSD, when the HDD gets a bluescreen it simply "turns off" and doesn't damage much of the data/hardware, but when an SSD "turns off" it can "place" data in very very wrong spots which will ultimately do what it did to mine: kill it. Couldn't even reformat the thing, it was just dead after that.
