My friends were complaining about trans people getting Pikamee cancelled. They were saying how Pikamee is the next big thing. What the hell are they talking about Jesse? :jesse-wtf:

    From what my friend tells me it is like the Waldo Moment black mirror where a real person voices an animated character that goes along with their facial expressions and stuff. They're trying to tell me it's the next big thing and that no one knows about it, but it all sounds very online to me.

      They use motion capture - cameras, IR sensors, whatever, to map their own facial movements to what is essentially a 3d puppet. It's like anime muppets that play video games.
