Merry Christmas to all inmates. May you get to spend time with your family/oshis, whichever you love more.

Honestly im all for it. She's been working on this since she gtfo from EIEN and has been fairly autistic about it. She is also upfront about what is going to be offered.
Always been impressed at how good she is with her deep voice.
The problem is not the music, its how much it gets spammed in such a short time.
Pretty sure she was going to hit 17 near the end of the year. AkioAir mentioned that "by next year she would be the majority of age" or some shit.

We're far enough in for the shut-in nerdy outcasts who make up a big portion of vtuber talent pool to have become comfortable with and dependant on their new social circle of names on the screen who show up to talk to them every day.
It's easy to be cynical about this kind of thing and there obviously are GFE streamers who pander for views and donations, but I think a lot of parasocial dynamics are genuine, for better or worse.

This has been sitting in her drafts since July 2021.
Kir actually plays Civ, she claims it's her Depression game. So a Civ collab with Clio would probably be great.
Naw man, I'm glad to hear a Nijifriend type here. Most people here like the Livers, but just hate the Corpo and Riku. Sorry to hear your so down on them, but hopefully they can fix their shit soon.
I have to imagine that (almost) never being alone for a stream, and sharing half the burden with stream planning probably makes doing these crazy schedules easier for the hellhounds over anyone else.
Unironically bought mine already. There's enough good merch in there (especially the blankets) that I'm fine doing the gacha. I'm hoping a bunch of people here get them and we can compare. Also hoping to get the "Fishman running a Red Light" award.
In what fucking universe does Fauna have bigger tits then Kronii. Jesus christ how awful.
Edit: For anyone else (like me) who missed it, here's a re-up of Airi's karaoke today. Don't let the wolf fool you, she's easily one of the best singers in Phase.

Now that's a scheme
That's kind of an oxymoron, though.....
'Parasocial' refers to a relationship which is fundamentally one sided (i.e. someone who is obsessed with a celebrity/streamer who doesn't know they exist).
If there's a genuine back and forth going on, by definition that isn't parasocial.

You're correct going strictly by the definition and there's possibly a more fitting way of describing it, but ultimately it's an unusually balanced relationship. Both parties feel they are friends in the traditional sense of the word, but what's actually happening is the streamer is subconsciously seeing their chat as a single entity whose personality is influenced by the most vocal regulars, while the viewer does not fully process that his position as the streamer's "friend" is divided up between him and countless other people, making this relationship much more distant than he might think it is.
It's a kind of social dynamic I don't feel we as a species have fully figured out yet, since we are the first generation to experience having live back-and-forth communication with our favourite entertainers on a regular basis.
Man, I think Nerissa's Christmas karaoke was even better than IRyS's. As expected of Hololive's Grand Rizzard.
Agreed. I'm sure there are plenty that play it up for views and money, but we've also seen plenty that are so socially awkward/anxious/depressed that I fully believe many of them are genuine and seek validation from their audience. I can't say I blame them too much. Some of them went from being shut-ins that barely interact with anyone to a person with thousands or more people who care for them and what they do, completely validating them. Basically, in the real world, they're just another person. In the vtuber world, they're an idol/star/etc.
A good example is Rie. We know she suffers from depression, among other things. A year or so, she would play up the role of princess addressing her "people". Over time, she's become heavily clingy and lovey-dovey with her audience. Some may disagree, but I'm sure she genuinely feels validated and fulfilled with her audience in a way that she wouldn't otherwise get.
Ame is actually gonna stream a game tomorrow, too. Christmas miracle.

I do agree on not figuring it all out yet, but I do not think we were the first to experience this. Celebrities always had the option of letters which they either read out on air or answer to in private. Now that isnt exactly live and on air, but radio got close with talk shows and callins with either djs or guest celebrities, same but a bit less with tv talk shows.
If anyone is sick of karaoke by now, Ame simp, Peo, is making a gingerbread house with a handcam.
