General Vtuber Discussion (V1)

Lia's Genshin stream is finally happening and she is rolling for Nahida:

So is Max0r:

Absolute insanity, honestly. How about invest in existing talents? Is that not a thing that ever occurred to them? PRISM especially is more than capable of growth if they actually put some money where their mouth is. Sony could acquire ANYCOLOR and Cover right now if they really wanted so their lack of effort (especially since they might as well have infinite resources compared to the aforementioned two companies) for the projects they do own/work with is just perplexing.

PRISM chuuba tax:

Unless I'm reading this wrong, sony's "strategy" isn't to copy Anycolor, but rather to force push as many new talents in the hopes that one or two will gain traction ala Salome or gura. They can do this for a nickel's worth and in any instance has much more financial sense than hiring real agents and managers to put together a serious competition project to nijisanji or cover.

To contrast that with nijisanji, since I know this thread is officially sponsored by hololive, their approach from start was "livers on the internet", thus not just any rando but a streamer with a specific quirk or talent (or lack thereof), which they pushed forwards and later expanded, before contracting back again some 8 or so months ago. This changed somewhat when EN officially debuted, but the core JP model hasn't strayed off far.

Wasn't Rogue the Bat's special gimmick that she gave people AIDs or something? Am I just hallucinating that?

Oh and if you can't get onto the Homeland set your vpn to France or the UK as that seems to work for the clearnet, it wasn't working from smaller EU countries though so it's hit or miss.

Selen is going to yoink apex perms from holo by the end of the night if she pulls out the toxic demon dez

 

[Superduper Samurai]

Huh, i wonder if her 2.0 will debut after her break

 

[El Rrata]

It is supposed to be shortly after her break, yeah. Also, this is her current PFP:



Still seems the same to me:

If he didn't lose Blizzard perms after that Overwatch stream, I think he's good on everything.

Most likely, that art is the art redjuice did for her birthday, most Holo like to use they parents art as pfp when possible (Ina basically has an unspoken rule to only use her papa art as pfp) she never did use that one because she was always changing it to promote whatever was her most recent release, prolly using once before it becomes obsolete once 2.0 comes out, when exactly? who knows she is probably coming back early December and wherever she decides to make her comeback stream her redebut or decided to come back and announce the redebut date on her comeback stream we prolly are going to have a new Irys before mid December.

Edit:
Honestly Irys 2.0 is the think I'm looking the most of anything else Holo/Vtuber related, even more than a new gen, I like Irys alot and feel like we have been hearing about this thing since forever, I just wanna know what she will look like since prolly is going to be what she will look like till graduation, and we can finally move forward, it feels like Irys whole career has been in a sorta pause since we knew about the 2.0, like when you are using a spare part while wanting for the new one to come from Amazon, like everything you are doing just feels not worth it because is handicaped, don't get me wrong I have loved almost everything Irys has done since debut, but I cannot wait for her to not just be "the one who is getting re-design" and can make a new chapter in her career.

You're right, it is.


Not sure what she meant by this post tbh lol

 

[kestraline]

Nyaru playing Escape from Tarkov....that Russian FPS that Sleepy plays a lot.

 

[The Peanut Gallery]

So that's what Pippas doing tonight

I guess Pippa agrees that Overwatch 2 is a horror game.

prolly using once before it becomes obsolete once 2.0 comes out

^That is my bet too, “get your last looks at official 1.0 art”.

The cryptic-ness of the tweet does make me wonder if she might get some teaser in advance, maybe even during break, and change her pfp to that earlier. Like the aforementioned silhouette.

Yeah I think it was just reading comprehension failure of her tweet on my part.

I wonder if she will do a new silhouette tease or just drop it. I think I would just prefer a redebut with the new model rather than have people do guesses like with an outfit.

Good to see Blizzard does the break points just right so each bundle of fun bucks can't add up to the right amount. Even if she gets the smallest 500 and 2,200 on, she ends up with 100 left over. It's a known scummy thing they do to encourage higher spending.

People say Raid Shadow Legends was scummy, but they just sold their packs for cash, so whatever you spent was what you spent.

Pippa is right, never trust public companies, they all bow to ESG.

We're blessed with another good-model Pikamee stream:


She is currently talking about Tenma and Phase Connect.

Also worth noting that early on Niji was trying to advertise their vtuber tech to other companies/individuals. So it made sense for them to start with a bunch of members from the start - basically just as a way to get their name out there and show off what is possible with a kind of vtubing that was at the time very much not the norm. They quickly moved on from that after realizing that just being in the entertainment business itself was a better business model, but there were some non-Nijisanji groups that used Niji's app.

Less than an hour in and we already have some quality Ragekin.
