GURA'S LAST HOLOGRA IS HERE.
CHUMBUDS, GET READY TO SAIL.

Well, it's been nearly 5 years and they still can't voice act, lol, bless them they're at least trying. (Or the voice direction for the EN talents just doesn't know how English should sound emoted.)

Were they flogging Calli's merch with that?

Then Shylily started a stream to talk about it and went on to talk shit about TCG players, the ones buying those expensive cardboard frames.

As one of those TCG players that spends money on cardboard crack, double-sleeving and all, multiple sets for both play and collection, etc...

I take back my previous suggestions on how to properly improve the game. No matter what she does with it, the product will easily sell, but it will never have actual legs as a proper game outside of this very niche consumer base.

Combined with new chuuba-based TCGs all competing for the same resources, I would recommend against taking any one of them seriously, until and unless they actually prove themselves as a playable game. If you want to support "indie" card games, look into Flesh & Blood, Grand Archive, or Elestrals instead, if you're not already into the madness with Vanguard/Wixoss/Weiss Schwarz/Shadowverse, or the big boys of Pokémon/Yu-Gi-Oh/Digimon/One Piece.

In short, degrading the customer is a non-starter, in a saturated market such as TCGs!

But he'd clearly not faced any real criticism before and responded in a really dumb, overtly autistic way. That isn't too surprising.

Autism? On my internet?!

That's not what I was talking about, it's from a VOD after they did another remake of the ruleset:

Another rat that goes around is that their own company scalped the release boxes during a convention to drive even more FOMO, but I can't find the tweets anymore, just the boxes on e-bay.

Joru is playing a game she got from her low-poly papa, Merchant 64

Ah, that is true. I remember linking the clip to Armchair for that stream.

She does mention how entitled they are, and how they take rules too seriously (like the one that you bet your cards and the winner takes them, I wonder why people may have an issue with that). Her thought process didn't seem go further than "tcgs fun, tcgs make money, we are drawings, cards have drawings, we on cards cool, we on cards make money."

Not to mention she doesn't have a clue on how her card game actually works or how some rules can be exploited.

The rrat going around for a while was that Roberu was the Pete Davidson of the JP Vtuber space, though at this point Mae clearly has him completely wrapped up.

Okay, google. Who's Pete Davidson?
Holly-Molly, what a whore.
But why, women, why? He's uglier than my life.

She was experiencing motion sickness when she was playing Oblivion.

Does she know about the third-person mode?

I have been doing a stupid thing and decides to backread the pages of general that I missed and came across the whole discussion about Inis making fun of Jesus
Butt the half of the forum being butthurt and offended by this made me think of that proctor post, but replace anti-loli with Christian or something like that

Proctor said this

Honestly the Holothread is now the equivalent of lolicon content in terms of how exposure to the debate has changed my opinion. I'm still very much morally against loli, but the absolutely demented streams of seething, puritanical vitriol spewed about every character who doesn't pass the seven-head test by the 'anti-loli' crowd cut me so cold that I ended up softening my stance on the topic just to not be classed with those lunatics. Likewise, I was very much a Holo-skeptic for a while, and I still am to a degree. But the truly embarrassing tantrums thrown by some people about the fanbase getting its own space on the forum have managed to make me want Hololive to succeed and be the best vtuber company out there. None of that sentiment was reflected for any other thread, it was only ever Hololive. Something about people liking Hololive just brings out a special sperg in onlookers that I can't fathom or bring myself to care about.

Basically, the more people on here complained about how bottom-tier and lacking of respect her joke was, the better the joke becomes
So good job Inis, the reaction was much funnier than the post on its own

thats the post, I will go back to pulling a superduper now

Surprising no one.

I watched her as Maaru back in the day so glad she's back at it

...is she putting a bit of being a new streamer? Actually I can't tell from voice alone if it's Shion

Hell she sounds more like Noel to me than Shion

Yep, the rumors were wrong, it's not Shion.

Yep, the problem with it being unplayable is that your TCG turns into just collectable cards. And very shitty ones at that, because if have irrelevant game shit printed instead of bigger art. And change the rules doesn't work, because vast majority of the rules are already printed on the cards.

Didn't Dream diddle some fans or am I misremembering stuff? I never dug deep into it, just that he was circled with drama and as usual, there's a shower of allegations, but Minecraft youtubers? I wouldn't doubt it.

he cheated in minecraft and lied about it also did a lot of cringe shit.

You know how twitter band wagoning works? Now condense that autism down and you get minecraft drama.

His "staff" for lack of a better word however big shock there we minecraft is a beacon to pedos.

i'm only aware of my own circles here

do people actually play vanguard? like legit it's so simple there's like zero skill expression. Relevant because Vcard and similar care games seem to be following it's example.

Also you forgot Magic so now I have to take your left kidney.

Let me just say, it's not Shion. I'm betting it's her little sister. Here's a clip of Chloe with her imouto.

With the underage fan thing, it was actually more to do with his staff than Dream, people jumped on him not realising (because retardation).
The one thing he actually was caught in was manipulating the drop rates on his world record Minecraft run, to the point he hired a mathematician to confirm it was possible, before getting BTFO by the Minecraft speed running mods with insane number crunched figures.
TL;DR what he did in the run was mathematically impossible with base game figures, proving he manipulated the game code.

Note that even the mathematician he hired wrote in the document "yeah this guy cheated"

The sad part about the faked run drama is I don't think he intended to run the manipulated builds. I think he simply didn't notice he was on the wrong load of the client when he was doing speedrun stuff, didn't realize it when he submitted it and then quadrupled down when called out on it. While everyone was on the "physical possibilities before the heat death of the universe" math work, there was a blatantly obvious & logical answer for how it all went down. He hired a physicists for number crunching before checking if he had played on a modified client for those runs.

It was a 5 minute check and a mea culpa, because using modified clients had been previously part of his content. But he'd clearly not faced any real criticism before and responded in a really dumb, overtly autistic way. That isn't too surprising.

1. He refused to supply the mods with his files.
2. The mathematician Dream hired said Dream cheated, inside the document. And he posted the document anyway claiming that he didn't. Dude fucked up the calculation and lower the possibility of him cheating by 1000 times compared to the mods calculation, but even that 1000 times lower was still too astronomically high for it to be a natural run.
3. He was attacking everyone involved, except for the mathematician because he likely didn't read what the guy concluded.
4. Like you said he was quadrupling down, while still refusing to supply the mods with his files. Something he should have done in the first place instead of spending hundred of dollars on a mathematician.
5. Finally he claimed "My friends did it I am not aware"

I'd believe he knew it all the time, why else wouldn't he let other people conduct that 5 minutes check for him and cleared all of his allegations if he was truly innocent.

Anyway he still has million of views on his videos, his viewers doesn't care if his shit are staged, most of them are kids anyway. I thought the fujoshis would stop caring once he face revealed and wasn't a cute skinny asian boy (who would have guessed), turned out they are still supporting him and his homo shipping videos still get million of views. The only reason why you don't hear of him anymore is he had some form of creative bankruptcy and was making content on Gura's schedule.

Happy for Chloe tho

 

[bothyourhouses]

But if you were your own artist, you wouldn't be able to give bullshit reasons why your art commissions were late.

You underestimate artists.

Calling VCard anything else than a moneygrab (or a derogatory synonym) is delusional.

Nah, Shylily wouldn't be this assmad, even when she's digging herself deeper into the hole every time, if it was just a grift. She's genuinely that stupid and Dunning-Krugered where she's too bad at game design to realise how bad she is at game design. She keeps doubling down on the idea that this is a good game design and the people complaining are wrong, because she came up with the best design she could and genuinely thinks that means it must actually be a good game design.
