But as far as YT corpos go? Yeah. HoloEN is and will remain unreachable, but otherwise Phase seemingly overwhelms all competition.
Yeah before this year I would've said that Idol was starting to catch up with Phase but they fucked themselves over and I guess that whatever they were doing was unsustainable in the long run

I kind of hope she can de-layer her dress down to just the blue under portion, it's a nice casual look she could use by itself
She can, she was using it at the start of the of the stream. You can make it out under the pixelated censorship.

That's still schizotalk IMO.
Well... you have a loose association like VShojo or Mythic where you're still responsible for your brand in a capacity, you can go indie and effectively be your own corpo with all those responsibilites, or you have small corpos to manage everything for you, where you're still your own brand if you "invade/etc" as opposed to join a new gen in that corpo. Those are the three realistic choices.

Of the small corpos, like you said, Phase just happens to be the stable option with the least apparent drama/instability/control. Yes, these mega talents will probably go with a loose association or full indie. That's the likely outcome, I don't really think otherwise there. But there are reasons to go with Phase over being an indie and that have surely popped into one ex-Niji/Holo mind from a business standpoint. I.e. no way Sakana didn't try to approach the topic with Mint but I can imagine him being too much of a hardass (justifiable or not, ex. a 90/10 split demanded by the mega talent) over the contract from what we know of him. Now the option even exists to be in another "corp" at the same time if Mari keeps Mythic.

You also save quite a bit because you don't have to buy your own model, or whole-ass orchestra. Just saying, no I don't think it's gonna happen, but if thinking it's possible is schizo behavior, then as of and only after today I'm a 21st Century Schizoid Phasebeggar.

It's been very economical for me, hell even for 9mm since it's still over 3x what it cost back in 2019. It doesn't even have to be rare cartridges, I originally took it up because 44 magnum was becoming increasingly expensive back then and despite making a resurgence .410 shotshells are still stupidly expensive. Brass can be recycled several times also many cartridges share the same primers and powders even so I have a lot of recipes to work with.
Excuse the autism.
I'm talking averages though. Ya you likely had the reloader, the dies, tumbler, tumbler material, powder, primers, space to do it all and even factoring in your time it's still cool for the applications you've listed. For the average person these are not fun upfront costs, also it's harder to find scrap lead if you're going real deep on it, then you need molds too (likely a way to powder coat for guns like glocks if doing 9mm). Lots of things to factor in that for the average person, now or during covid, felt/feel like it wasn't worth it (when Sleepy would've gotten into it was during covid pricing, hell she went for a 5.56 ak so she could steal tactically acquire her dads ammo). Powder and primers were also dumb expensive during covid and are still up post covid just like complete cartridges.
For some, sure it's worth it. But also the policing your own brass for something like 9mm to save a couple cents is, on average for most people, not fun/worth it. You need a good well ventilated space to reload too (if you tumble or caste). As well, the average shooter doesn't even shoot 1,000 rounds a year so it's hard to justify the small (relative) savings against the upfront or continues costs against the like 20cpr for a case of 9mm today vs the what 13ish-cpr of 2019 and earlier on blackfriday sales. The deer hunter in the mid west might only shoot 5-10 rounds during deer season, so why would they either except out of tradition? The time to go through the whole process is fun, educational, and even cathartic for some as it's a hobby, however the average gun owner just wants to shoot trash/stay mildly proficient in their carry piece or kill their meat for the season.
And ya .410 is rarer, your magnum rounds are going to also be more boutique and it makes sense if you got the gear for it. I'd actually like to hear the raw numbers on what you save doing 9mm. I've read reports from other reloaders and for them it was like 6cpr vs store bought as they bought their bullets and only reused brass like 3 times (this was a long while ago when I read this); Can you get it down to 14cpr or better? I also dunno how you value your time both on the range to collect brass, what volume you actually shoot, and how long it takes to reload all your ammo start to finish. For instance, some pro shooters goes through over 50k rounds of 9mm a year and more than a few stopped reloading due to the time alone as the component costs weren't low enough when factoring time in and I suspect you don't need to be shooting 50k a year to hit that time margin, though admittedly that's the most subjective part. It's going to be somewhere between 1k and 50k but exactly where is any one persons preference.
For most it's hard to find and quantify the value proposition these days (outside of the things I previously mentioned like PRS, C&R type ammo, other boutique shit where it often clearly is worth it).

Sounds like some or all of Gen 4 have already been selected.

After acknowledging the hot mic at the start of her stream, Jelly joked "can we leak the next gen?". And Dizzy responded in a way that made it sound like that is possible to do (which it wouldn't be if no one had been picked yet).

jelly made us guess furiously and only the schizos that said Clio won...

she might convince us they're hiring senzawa...

(BTW I feel Chromu might get in with a new fursona since her model is really basic... MODS WE NEED A CORPOBEGGING AND SPECULATION HALLUCINATIONS THREAD)

If Gen 4's already in the basement they're probably going to announce them at Offkai :ewww:

Was out but was able to watch all 3 debuts in succession and see the thread's reaction. That was pretty funny.

Clio's model change is fine, though I'm far more used to the previous one because she sits on 3rd screen on Twitch a lot. I also noticed the Panko similarities in some of the emotes pretty early. (It's the "eyebrows" with a rounded face doing most of the work.) Some hilarious scuff, but Pippa as Julius Caesar was funny.

Marimari was her usual self. That's pretty normal for her streams, lol. Though it's hilarious her YT channel's video lists goes from a Plap Plap Plap meme video to the recent cover. Good work there.

I haven't watched Sleepy in a bit, but that was really good. I like the lore, that was fun. Solid song choice and singing on a debut is a strong start.

Now, as for the model... I was curious how it compared to Yozora Mel. Mel's model was pretty stacked, but those honkers are massive. That is getting into Nikke character territory.



Audience reflects the Streamers, lol.

Damn, looks like Sleepy ponied up for one of the reproduction model SVD models that were shown off at SHOT Show early on this year.
Still pricey, but no where near the lulzy prices genuine SVD's go for, plus you get other caliber choices than 7.62x54mmR

Oh he’s begging

This technique, this isn't just regular begging, this is ADVANCED PHASE BEGGING

Would be a cool idea though if Fishman ever debuted a British gen - filling in my Phasebeg quota of the month:
Hey Fishman, I know you got Clio to kill dead hours, but I just want to point out that there are quite a few British free agents floating around right now, ready to fill those sweet, underserved EU hours:

You call that Phasebegging? Your image didn't even suggest the fish poach ERB! Though if the Fish gave us a British gen and Kilia wasn't included I would anti Phase for life even if they got a Holo.
