Dying Stranding 2 incorporates a cameo from vtuber Usada Pekora, who occurs to be Hideo Kojima‘s all-time fave, and the second Pekora finds her in-game character is characteristically cute and all too relatable.
In case you are listening to about this for the primary time, sure, it is true, Kojima needed to begin turning down celebrities who wished to look in Dying Stranding 2 as a result of it was too time consuming to scan them into the sport, however he made an exception for his woman Pekora. You will discover the massively standard vtuber as one of many recreation’s many Preppers, and that is precisely what Pekora herself did throughout a current stream.
Even in case you’re not the audience right here, as I am admittedly very a lot not, that is price a watch:
Pekora’s response to her Dying Stranding 2 look is wholly on-brand. The vtuber approaches the bunny-eared Prepper within the recreation’s Australia area and begins up a dialog earlier than shying into nervous embarrassment.
“That is too embarrassing,” Pekora says (translated from Japanese by YouTube channel Pekora Clips). Then, as quite a lot of dialogue choices open on the display screen, she provides, “I am so embarrassed. She’s nonetheless yapping.”
Truthfully, that is in all probability precisely how I would react to listening to my voice in a online game, or actually any piece of recorded media.
Fortunately, it is not all self-cringe Pekora was feeling on this weirdly surreal second. “I am completely happy and embarrassed,” she says.
My favourite a part of this interplay is when Pekora makes the connection that she’s from Australia, a minimum of in Dying Stranding 2’s world. “Pekoland is definitely in Australia,” she jokes, referring to the fictional nation she typically claims to have hailed from.
As if the complete expertise of taking part in Dying Stranding 2 wasn’t already sufficient of a fever dream, now I’ve to dwell with the truth that there’s an enormously standard vtuber someplace speaking to herself in it.
