Games blow up in the strangest ways nowadays. A single stream from a BTS member can rocket an Among Us-like to Among Us-grade virality. Likewise, as the already massive Deep Rock Galactic community recently learned, a big vtuber joining the ranks of the space dwarves may indeed bring all the w♏eebs to the yard. Happily, this group of stout miners has welcomed these new, anime girl-watching greenbeards with open arms.

This all started a few days ago when , a vtuber under Hololive with nearly 1.3 million subscribers on YouTube, streamed Deep R💟ock Galactic for about two hours to upwards of 10,000 viewers, endi🧸ng the stream with a positive appraisal of the game. The VOD for this stream is sitting at 160,000 views at the time of writing, so there's no doubt it put a lot of eyes on the game – and not just in Japan and broader Asia, where Hololive is generally biggest, since Botan clearly has a non-trivial Western audience too. 

Let's be perfectly clear: Deep Rock Galactic has been out for a few years and amassed over 140,000 Steam reviews with a 97% positive rating, to say nothing of its Xbox and Game Pass release🏅. Realistically, no amount of Shishiro Botan viewers is going to noticeably change this game's already bright prospects. 

That said, as we've seen before – because this is somehow 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:not the first, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:second, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:or even third time Holo🃏live has come up in game news – games often circulate around vtuber communities and end up getting the attention of multiple sizable audiences. (Botan apparently picked up DRG after an all-male group within Hololive gave it a shot.) Even so, I'm less inter🌞ested in the numbers resulting from this situation than I am the DRG community's response, which was genuinely heartwarming. 

"Attention brothers and sisters," Redditor and space dwarf OechSenpai said in a . "We have a very huge japanese Hololive streamer Shishiro Botan playing DRG right now. Expect a massive amount 💎of new pla♛yers." 

"Be accep🍬ting and welcoming towards new miners, no matter where they come from," a Reddit mod said in a comment on the white-hot post. "Greenbeards joining the ranks should be celebrated. Spend your energy helping a few greenbeards out instead𒈔 of being grumpy on the internet. The community is a big part of what keeps Deep Rock Galactic great."

Naturally, t🎀his inspired some memes and artwo✃rk.

The comments on these posts are a sea of supportive in-jokes which give me hope for humanity. "Rock and stone, Lalion," writes , marrying the space dwarf battle cry with Botan's apparent tagline. "You mean greenbeards," says of the "new players" OechSenpai describes, putting all players o﷽n the same level regardless of how many cat-girl vtubers they watch. 

"Honestly kinda surprised by the response of this," wrote , neatly sum🌼ming up my thoughts as well. "I would figure a lot of people would be hating on a group of weebs joining this game. The more players the better!"
