Doki did a PC auction?

What kind of pc would cost over $9000 to build? wtf

Even if you build a 9950x3d 5090 system, it should "only" cost somewhere between $5000 and $6000

That statement feels really weird because she is talking about "drama" that was minor enough to never get shared here at all.

The more interesting bit is about moving out. I remember there was a rrat that her parents stole her merch or something while acting as her managers last year that lined up with her moving out. Does this pretty much confirm that? Can't imagine any other way all that could be happening at once the way she describes it. Requiring active police supervision while moving out would make sense if she was in the middle of a legal dispute with her parents over her brand.

Really feels like everything is out to fuck her over at every opportunity.

How do you blow 120 hours of labor on a custom PC build?

Original charity listing for the PC. archive

Website of the custom PC builder, archive, I don't know if they just did the case here or if they were responsible for the entire thing. The spreadsheets in the doc do not look like something I'd expect from a one man shop, but it does say "sole proprietor" and they do both like pastel pink/blues.

Can't find any pricing as a guide, there's a page on their website that might be relevant but I can't access it even when logged in.

They're quite open about costs in this post, archive, on a PC build website and they're using pounds, same as the spreadsheets.





Promised $3.5k in parts, delivered $7.5k in parts?

At least she has more chances of becoming a real girl than the guy who wrote the hit piece against us

Neuro wants to join sad girl company

Doki, everyone gets called a manipulator or a gaslighter these days. Freaking, I got called a gaslighter about an hour ago because I was kvetching between making a chicken salad or fishsticks in the oven and my friend thought I was trying to persuade her into not sending for pizza again.
In fact, I'm gonna gaslight myself a nice little glass of hennesy later tonight.

The indie life is great. People should just start their own companies and hire their friends and family to help run things and they can focus on content creation. Why anyone would want corporate support is beyond me.

Blink. you leave your shitty corpo your now an indie you are free Blink you are hanging with your friends chatting about whatever you decide that forming a small semi official group is beneficial for everyone and begin making plans Blink it's been 6 years you no longer talk to your friends until it's time to hand out the checks Blink you have become everything you hated you reluctantly release your friends from their contracts.

The 3.5k fair market value is something you have to put on Tiltify charity auctions and I think charity auctions in general and it has to do with putting charitable donations on your taxes. I think you still have to tax the 3.5k part, but I'm no accountant.
Which makes me wonder if Doki or the buyer would be on the hook if they knowingly put a false value. Especially now that they essentially auctioned off $7500 cash for $6600 cash.

Honestly most if this could be avoided if she just did her own shit?

The bit about escaping her apartment is a whole and wild story that just kind of shows up in the middle of the document. It's like, well..

I have no clue what that PC Builder was thinking/claiming. Nothing about that makes sense, at all. I could see a 1-2k charge if there was a full custom Waterloop, but that doesn't seem to have been the charity product that they had gotten a quote for? For what they're wanting to charge, you could do a custom paint job and copper tubed loop. But they link item an AIO at easily +100 GBP more than retail. WTF were they thinking they're doing?

They had a proposal from a PC Builder that kept increasing for absolutely no reason. I have no clue what the company was smoking.

Chihaya back to F1'24 at 7PM JST.


Re:AcT's Usuwa Suu singing at 8PM JST in her usual Wednesday timeslot.

With an announcement as well.

Ririka and Raden full of praise for Kanade, Monogatari style.


Niji vs Holo vs VSpo out of nowhere, random Ebio got caught in the middle.

It was supposed to be a four person sexy representative Repo collab but Choco couldn't make it.

Looks like Arceus is a good fit for Raden.

Edit:
This seems to be the video Dokibird is referring to?
Something about management issues in Dokibird (company) but what I'm not understanding is 10k for a pc build? Also Dokibird (person) paid the person that was supposed to get the pc so they could build it on their own, only for the person to take the money and try to smear Doki, that's what I'm getting out of this. Is the auction public? Do we know who started this?

TLDR: PC Builder she used ghosted her and then tried to scam her by claiming it took 120 hours to build the PC and it's going to cost $14.9k to build the PC when the parts only cost the builder $3.8k. Builder refuses to provide a time-lapse to verify the labor hours despite originally claiming a time-lapse video exists and threatens a $4k cancellation fee despite Doki never signing a contract. Doki resolves with the auction winner and pays them back their bid+$900. Dramatuber misrepresents the situation and tries to paint her as a manipulator.
>Doki does an auction charity where people bid for a Dokibird themed PC built by celestefleurs that's suppose to be worth $3.5k market value in parts
>auction ends March 3rd, 2024 and the winning bid is $6.6k
>Doki gets distracted by bullshit with old management (read as: Doki's parents, especially her mom) trying to take over her brand while she was living with them
>its such a shitshow that she has to deal with police and lawyers
>eventually her actual managers tell her that the PC build needs to be resolved because they haven't received any progress report after 6 months
>somehow the builder started increasing the quoted price for the PC from $6k, $8k, $12k, and all the way to $14.9k while the parts only cost $3.8k
>the builder explains it with a timelog showing they somehow spent 120 fucking hours building a PC and threatens a $4k fee if Doki cancels
>Doki doubts the builder's timelog and says to provide a time-lapse video of the PC build to verify it, which the builder previously claimed existed
>builder ignores Doki at this point and eventually Doki realizes this is just a shitshow scam, such as Doki finding out that she was also getting charged every time her team contacted the builder and yet the builder never communicated this
>Doki explains to the retard builder that there was no contract signed between them and they never agreed to any finalized scope, so get fucked on that $4k fee
>Doki goes to a new PC builder by using her Hyte case where she would upgrade all the parts
>Doki orders all the parts through Amazon and it ends up costing $9395 USD
>Amazon canceled the parts order shortly before the auction winner's travel date, meaning they could no longer deliver the PC when they arrived
>Doki and the auction winner agreed to Doki giving them $7.5k to build their own non-themed PC, so the winner walks away with a $900 gain for the troubles
>Dramatuber posts a video 2 days later (yesterday) after the payment had already been made
>Dramatuber edits the video description and pinned comment later to say Doki did pay the auction winner but implied she only did it because of public pressure
>Dramatuber is now trying to pin blame on Doki for not paying the artist
>It's just Doki being late to pay because she's a disorganized retard but she has historically always made sure artists get paid even when Nijisanji was stiffing them
EDIT: It appears the artist mentioned by the dramatuber was actually the PC Builder that tried to scam her and she had no contract with.
