And what kind of hell hole does Pippa live in?

The fact that you can live in THE first world country, and still have a 50% chance of getting mugged within 45 seconds of leaving your home will always be funny to me.

"Fishman doesn't believe in burnout"
I mean, yeah, he grew up overseeing the child slaves in the burning NVIDIA factory. They'd drop dead of exhaustion before they could even consider being bored of their job.

I always found "comedy" D&D to be really weird and just forced unless the group is really good at it, especially for longer term things where the comedy can get stale fast, and the DM is good at improv comedy which most aren't (many people suck at improv as a whole). Because most people seem to go for a very absurdist comedy angle with this sort of stuff. Unless you're really good at comedic timing it just comes off as "lawl random" nonsense and makes the entire thing feel disconnected or distracting. The rogue going "I throw my knife at the shopkeep!" is only funny maybe one time, then it gets old and just obnoxious. Or acting like some impulsive loose cannon for a gag where the joke is just "Hey I just preemptively ended the scene by punching the king's teeth out!". Their is a reason the room temperate IQ Barbarian who just unga bungas smacks someone in every single scene, or the murder hobo klepto edgelord Rogue are very obnoxious player archetypes.

I get that people acting like they're some Theater Kid Broadway Wannabe is very obnoxious, but you don't have to literally act in D&D by making some bullshit fake European accent and talk like you're in LOTR. You just need to make choices and say things that make sense as your character, that doesn't require bad acting it requires decision making. That's all Roleplaying really is, it is making decisions while pretending to be someone else who (hopefully) isn't just you. It is much easier to do this well then try to pull an effective stand up comedian routine for hours straight.

Clip tax: Magni gives us the inside scoop on what the audition process for Holostars was like, what a nice guy.



Vesper dodged the Axel dog training + Valorant stream by being busy.


Acquisition INC does comedy D&D at Pax and its what got me into D&D.

>the phase connect channel has it's own EDITORS (plural)
>individual talent can't really ask them to edit something for them

I think Godzilla was right when he said that Fishman was a gorilla retard who keeps failing upwards, because the fucking official PC channel uploads like once a month, meanwhile half the talents upload videos daily.
The easiest way to solve the problem is to get 1 dedicated editor for each talent. Or at least the ones that put out the most content. Maybe have 1 editor per 2 or 3 talents.

As for the content thing. I always thought it was a terrible idea. While its nice to tard wrangle your talents here and there I feel like overall parts of Phase were moving in that direction naturally to fill a niche and it was helping them grow because they were different. While I believe the original view was more idol/seiso-like straying away from this made them pop out.

Hard to burn out when you play league all day and everyone else is doing the work or coming to you with shit they want to do for you.

People in chat are mentioning Pippa playing Ringfit on stream, since it's also exercise. But given how she talks about exercise, she would pass out within 10 minutes at very low difficulty. She would need to start slow with exercise and work her way up without quitting.

He's a fucking chink through and through. Dude is lucky as fuck he picked good talents. He just pisses me off more and more.

I'm saying what everyone else is saying, but holy crap Sakana got all his success through sheer luck, he should be thanking God every day people like Pippa showed up at his door to actually be successful. Really hope Phase can shape up and help their streamers.

Well the stream got serious quick, and it sounds like the Phase situation is a bit more complex than people thought.


She feels like she's an outsider in Phase because the culture is shifting away from her style, and she thinks it might alienate others in the company. I remember she broke down on Yuni a while ago that she finally felt accepted and now it seems like that's not quite there anymore.
I walked back in onto it too.
Also I'm not sure "more complex" is the right word.
Basically everyone who caught wind of the thing during the leak read it as
"Hey we're gonna make talents limited based on arbitrary bullshit we decided. Because the Fish has decided he knows better than everyone, despite having FUCK ALL to do with how successful most of these girls have been. THRICE as true since it's been flat out stated that Muumi basically saved them. And that the girls who have grown have grown DESPITE what he's tried to do, not because of.

>the phase connect channel has it's own EDITORS (plural)

I think Godzilla was right when he said that Fishman was a gorilla retard who keeps failing upwards, because the fucking official PC channel uploads like once a month, meanwhile half the talents upload videos daily.
Starting to think this dude watched the interview with Maio and went "Wow. This dude has some really good ideas!"
Maybe he watches a lot of game grumps, and thought paying 30 editors to sit around and jerk off was also a smart business move.

Also yeah. Of course it's easy to not worry about burnout when you're just randomly directing people to shit. Even how many corpos just decide once in a while to say "Know what? I'm taking time off I need it." (GRANTED: Not as many as needed. Some of them still fuckin try to kill themselves but y'all get what I mean.)

Not gonna lie but this stream's kind of got me in a mood over it.
You have multiple talents having various issues, and your first plan was to either Limit, control, or flat out ban content. Content THEY want to do.

Good to see that Airi and Shiina are multi-track-black-company-drifting, except it hasn't really set in for Airi yet because she hasn't hit the numbers where Fishman tries to milk her yet.

From what I understand she's paying enough that she could probably be in a much better place. I just don't get it.

Consooming will solve all your problems.

Nah, she had a psycho roommate she mentioned before. Though I wonder if this all means Zax is in the picture anymore as it sounds like she's solo, as she can't even go for a walk without being afraid.

She was, and she was trying to get money to build a van to live in with Zax. Then she ended up in a new place as she started earning money, which is an individual house just for her, her animals, and maybe Zax but it's unconfirmed.

He should at least offer bonuses or something for meetings if they are pseudo mandatory but it sounds like he doesn't.

Pippa said that Fishman doesn't actually pay them wages for the streaming they do. They only get a cut of the supas.
He only pays them, I assume, per-project for the side shit they do like songs, the WonderAI thing, and probably convention appearances.
