Welp it's not the new year without some new paranoia.
Speaking of, her roommate twitter is protected again. I forgot to follow her when it was public
Her character is so arrogant and self-assured. Her having imposter syndrome behind the scenes is a bit ironic though understandable. Yeah, here's hoping she builds some real confidence from this. The numbers should speak for themselves.
And she didn't put a time limit on it like Pippa did. Even so, given the rate at which Phase's star has been rising recently, I wouldn't be surprised to see her easily hit it before the end of the year. Get in now, boys!
I've been listening to this girl so much today that I won't be surprised to be hearing her voice echo in my ears when I'm trying to get to sleep tonight…
If I may be so bold: I will be taking an initial attempt at starting a streaming gig, debuting on Monday at 10:00 PM Eastern/7:00 PM Pacific. I'd be truly flattered if any of you can come by and check it out and let me know what you think - all criticism will be accepted. I don't have a vtuber model yet but that will definitely be the direction I'm heading in if this turns out to be something I want to keep doing. Aside from the synthwave/retro-futuristic aesthetic, I'll also have the gimmick of playing games on harder than usual difficulty, starting with Quake on Nightmare difficulty, but I'm also considering Minecraft on hardcore mode (hardest difficulty plus permadeath) or XCOM on Ironman mode (save scumming disallowed), or challenges like doing the MGS games without killing people, old "Nintendo hard" games without save-stating, etc. If that sounds interesting, give my channel a subscribe. Who knows, maybe I'll make it to the big leagues and you can boast about being one of my first fans (or haters). The odds might be the same as hitting the Powerball but at least you won't have to pay two bucks.
It gets unlocked from time to time so just keep an eye out.Speaking of, her roommate twitter is protected again. I forgot to follow her when it was public

We'll also see the Holo version of Holo fans being salty that all of NijiEN have 3d models while Gen2-Tempus still don't have theirs
Stay losing Holofags
Part 4. Lia is sleeping but replaying old VODs. Yabsquad is on first.
I'm quite sure at this point no one cares about Tempus getting 3D yet, not even their fans. You should at least use CouncilRyS for a more effective ba- OH WAIT you can't since they would already have 3D model by then.
I know this is the usual RiverBear bait, but just a minor correction: CouncilRyS/Gen 2 will have their 3D models before then, since HoloFes is the month before.
Hey, I'm gonna say a bunch of stuff that all aspiring content creators should hear - if you know all this feel free to disregard.
Streaming without an established fanbase can be a good idea if your goal is to practice talking to yourself because you find it awkward, or if you want to test to see if you have what it takes to stick to a schedule. But, streaming is terrible if you want to gain actual viewers and grow as a brand. The way discovery works on these platforms relies on either you already having some kind of a fanbase or being boosted by someone who already does. Getting your first 15 consistent viewers is a bigger obstacle than getting your 1000th. Without that, you'll probably find yourself streaming to 0 or 1 viewer - in some cases for years, and this has an incredibly debilitating effect on a person's psyche. Do not underestimate how crippling it is to stream to zero viewers, or knowing that the two viewers you have are your friends that are there out of obligation rather than viewers with genuine interest.
If you can't have someone else with an established fanbase promote you then you should take advantage of the much more favorable discovery that other forms of content offer. Creating videos will make a much bigger impact on your subscriber count and discoverability than streaming will - even if, due to editing it takes you a much longer time to produce video content it will provide a much greater return on investment (until you actually get a decent base of people engaging with your content). TikTok is also an excellent place to get eyes on you. This is why almost all vtubers, and every other content creator, uses it. The problem with Tiktok is that you have to jump through the hurdle of getting your Tiktok viewership off platform over to YouTube (or twitch if you decide to stream there) and as a result only a small number of people will convert. YouTube shorts is not as good in terms of discoverability as Tiktok, but it is still excellent and doesn't have the issue of trying to get your viewers to go to another website. While, I don't think using Twitter to get viewers is worth the effort - many indie vtubers and content creators use this to try and get some kind of name for themselves in order to begin their careers. So if you happen to be particularly charismatic on the blue bird website then you should take advantage.
All of those are a better for an aspiring streamer than actually streaming. The goal is to get your first 10 - 15 active viewers via other means than streaming, that way you can actually start popping up on recommended videos sidebar and generating engagement. And, you don't go crazy streaming to nobody.
Nothing in this industry is guaranteed. You can have someone just start streaming with no other work and end up huge in six months. Then, you have people grinding at videos, and shorts, and tiktok, and twitter engagement - absolutely killing themselves for years, but still remaining unknown. It's like a casino - some people win at roulette and some realize there are other games with better odds, but nothing guarantees a win.
I hope nothing I wrote discourages you in any way from pursuing your interest in streaming.
How many memes can we put into the 2 minute video? - Yes
Btw, I guess Axel and Vesper will offcollab and stream only one POV but I can already see the complains and/or rrats (on /vt/) why Vesper will not participate. Poor choice of wording when you recall what happened after the full Tempus collab.
First asylum chuuba? If you want publicity you should fund proctor's cocaine addiction and place ads on the site.
He could also do what @Azehara is doing and make a clip channel for popular chubbas, weather that be for the huge ones or the smaller to moderate size ones and eventually transition into original content creation. Heck if the person you're clipping finds your channel they might even shout you out or link your channel in their channels list. If you can translate to other languages you could translate clips like the Pippa clipper KindPinkRabbit does. They only started their channel recently and they already have over 500 subs.

Phase Connect celebrating the Year of the Rabbit
Have to say, Year of the Rabbit is going great so far. Pippa has gained over 20K subs since the start of the month, her two most well-known antis look worse than ever - Henri has constantly outdone himself to look like even more retarded than usual, and Chase was outed as a dog-killing satanist and gets roundly mocked if anyone even acknowledges him at all.

If you want just a basic text-style one, there's this i inside a circle: ⓘ
If you want an option that is an actual emoji that I suspect most browsers would convert to full color icons, maybe some of these might work:
Even though I was the one arguing for emoji, apparently my browser hates them. If you want any of those emoji you might be able to use the forum's BBCode (smilies). Then the way they look would be standardised. If you want to stick with text, size 18 would stand out a bit more.
ⓘ INF

How is Lui doing after streaming Fatal Frame this weekend?
Thanks, Google Translate.
In which Sora schemes with her hag kouhais.
Ophelia's next voice study in 13 hours: how to quack.
Sorry to double post but:
It looks like that twitter account that was going to make a FlaVR spinoff has deleted all tweets relevant to that and is now rebranded.
Looks like it was a scam after all.
Edit: In the replies of the new account, I found this person which had this thread
Edit: They keep deleting shit, however because I didn't reload one of the tabs, I was able to snag the op of one of the threads I linked

Thanks for your feedback. I understand what you mean about starting with an established base, but the way I see it, I have to start somewhere, and if that means streaming to zero people, so be it - I've done that before. But to your point, I do intend to record the stream and clip it up into a video and/or shorts later. I'm also planning to create a new Twitter account tomorrow and start "networking" there. At least for now I don't really mind starting out as a 0view as I haven't invested much into this emotionally or financially yet and I'm not expecting any degree of success. I'm gonna keep my day job, that's for sure.
I'm a boomer who has never ticked a tock. Does it even let you upload videos from a computer, or is it only a phone app? I was under the impression that it was primarily for posting videos recorded on the phone itself with just the very basics in terms of editing, but if it's possible to post real edited videos there directly from my laptop I will look into it further.
As for success being a crap shoot, I'm well aware of that as well, hence my quip about the lottery ticket in my previous post.
I won't be the first chuuba just yet, since I won't be a proper chuuba until and unless I get a model. There's still plenty of time for someone to beat me to that title and I'd encourage anyone else considering it to give it a try.
It looks like Pippa's Korean translator is spreading the news of the pipparents feet goal:
And speaking of translating, I came across a channel called Vtuber de English who is translating clips of NijiEN members into Japanese while highlighting various vocabulary terms for the purposes of J-bros learning English. Cool.
