General Vtuber Discussion (V1)

[Continuous Retardation]

I feel like half my posts here are talking about this, but man guys does it ever get better?

I'm not sure you can get an accurate answer from anyone. Because nobody but you knows just how much emotion you actually put into the parasocial relationship. You're the only one who can really understand what you feel inside, and you can't really lie to yourself when you take a serious look at your emotions. Feeling a sense of loss when you actually have lost something isn't weird or unnatural. Hell man when New Coke replaced the original Coke formula in the 80's, the Coca-Cola Company had psychiatrists listen to phone calls and messages left by customers complaining about the change, and those psychiatrists concluded that people were actually in a state of grief because of what the company had done. All of that over a drink. So I think it's fine if you feel the way you do sometimes, but it can be unhealthy if it goes unchecked. As long as you aren't losing sleep over it and you have a functional day without breaking down, I'd say not to worry and just feel whatever emotions you feel, and post about it if you want to do so.

Take my hand, @pururun. We will get through this together!

Clover was 22. Fauna is like, what, 26? She got the cat when she was 4, it was basically her lifelong companion. Gotta suck for her, but I doubt she will take that long. I'll miss hearing him pop up in streams though.

She has said she adopted it when the cat was already quite well aged, but still. 22 is a very long life for a cat though, well above average, though i have heard of 26 year old cats.

 

[Praid]

If Fauna goes the way of Sana, I'm interested in how saplings will take it. When the ironic and un-ironic "UUU"-posting goes out of control, that's when the magic happens.

After the GGN sisters, I don't think I could handle having my oshi graduate.

(Sana sticker when btw)

It's not too hard to make one yourself. Just take a screenshot from a stream and use an image editor like Photoshop or Gimp to crop it and possibly magic eraser the background. Debut streams usually have a segment showing off the various expressions the model can do.

 

[Jolted Cookies]

Yeah I don't mean this as a disparagement toward Sana at all because I fully sympathize with the level of emotional impact losing a pet can have but I think Fauna might have been a little more prepared for it and handling it differently.

If I remember right, Sana's dog passing was very sudden and really shocked her. Fauna knew this day would come, I'm sure she was as prepared as she could've been.

Sana's graduation was the dumbest thing ever. But then again, she plays Gacha games.

If Sana stayed in Hololive, sooner or later she'd probably have to hard stop her life like Ina is right now. While I wish a lot of things went differently, I'm happy that she seems to be happy right now; and not forgetting the last time she slept.

Will it be nice or cringe af on Fauna's return stream when the entire chat is filled with Clover emotes?

 

[GOTBB]

Been busy and caught up with the stream and it was nice to see her laugh so much she showed off her fucked up fluoride-free tap water teeth.
I know she tries pretty hard to hide them when smiling so the laughs actually were nice.

I know they tell you to find a niche early on, but I think that's a little too niche.

Or you do the house hacking shit while buying a duplex. Further still, USDA loans offer cheaper mortgage insurance than FHA loans providing your address and income qualify.

House hacking is one of the best things out there if you have the mental fortitude for it. Really the biggest mistake people make is that they buy a property that needs to be fully rented at peek prices at all times with no buffer and that's where they get screwed, but if you just make sure to give yourself enough room for error most problems aren't that big of a deal. That and knowing how to screen and handle tenants is important.

Though I didn't want to bring it up as Pippa is probably completely averse to the idea of sharing duplex as I'm guessing she pays extra for a whole house to herself instead of settling for an apartment.

Pippa is barely able to take care of herself and income based off streaming is the exact opposite of stable. Maybe we should hold off on the idea that Pippa is up for the responsibility of owning and maintaining a home, let alone a home with a nearly 500K mortgage attached to it that she needs to pay down on the regular?

She seems to be doing better, and she does take care of her three rabbits, bird, and dog well enough, and she's consistent with streaming. She even went to the dentist, sure it only took unavoidable pain, but it's a step in the right direction, give the poor yabbit some credit.

 

[Shuba]

You can membership to her roommate account on Youtube if you want. Not that she ever does anything on it any more.

I did for like 2 months but like you said, she hasn't done anything on it after those Arknights streams. I've been huffing copium and think that if she can get a break from the chinese gacha overlords long enough, she might want to do a stream.

Man. I always feel awful thinking about Sana since early on she really hit perfect marks for me as a streamer - fun content, energetic and slightly unhinged personality, funposter, into a lot of the same stuff as me (Nintendo games, especially Kirby), just a really interesting girl to spend time around. Then her content got longer and longer and it fell out of the time period I could watch it. Always saw her streams pop up in my inbox, but never really got to experience it as much as I did in the beginning. When graduation happened, it hit me like a ton of bricks.

I feel like half my posts here are talking about this, but man guys does it ever get better? Sana was my oshi, and while I love Korone, Pippa, and many other chuubas there's still a Sana sized hole in my heart. There was just something magic about Sana I'm not sure can be repeated.

I can relate to a lot of the Sana-posting being done here (obviously), despite the problems she suffered and her eventual graduation Sana was absolute lightning-in-a-bottle and left a lasting impact on me and a lot of other people despite the short time she spent with us. It's a shame she couldn't balance streaming with all the other obligations/stresses in her life, but I'm sure she's in a better place now making those sweet gachabucks.

Meanwhile, fellow big-tittied dark-skinned aussie Sara is going live with more NV:

Glad for the Sana-posting. The amount of passion and humor she put into every stream is something I don't think can be replicated. She instantly became my oshi during her debut. Whether it was her long ass Nintendo streams, any of her collabs or the rare drawing/astrology streams, it was always entertaining and felt genuinely unique. My favorite streams were her member free talk/drawing streams, where she would just let out whatever was on her mind. They were funny, chill, insightful and felt like just a bunch of bros hanging out and shooting the shit. That Sana-sized hole is gonna be there for a while.


Anyways, enough of this emotional gay shit. Here's Shigure Ui being savage like usual.


And some Suinglish. She got to use a lot of it during the sports festival lol. I'm glad she's back from her break though, hopefully Roboco can come back soon too. Her cat died a few weeks before Fauna's but she's been tweeting semi-regularly and seems better at least. Too many Holomems on break tbh.

 

[Tyrvalla]

Gloom in this thread today, just giving my two cents.

Cherish your oshis now, they are not eternal, there will be a time when your favorite goofballs graduate.

Sana being gone right now, doesn't mean we can't see what she's up to, she's killing it making art for gacha games. She doesn't want to draw as Sana probably because she wants to partition her work life, streaming life and life in general but it seems it's not that easy and that's why she have to prioritize.

There'll be a time when your oshis graduate and you won't be seeing them anymore. I always felt sad when a vtuber graduate even though I never watch them.

 

[Aquatic Novellite]

Bro if she graduates right after like Sana, then you really have bad luck in finding your favs lol

The solution is to only pick petless oshis.

Sana's graduation was the dumbest thing ever. But then again, she plays Gacha games. You can't expect people who throw hundreds of dollars away on png's to make rational decisions.

There's an oshi for you:

Greetings from page 595 I got behind 30ish pages and am working my way to the present holy shit you guys only took half a week after my last recap to qualify for another I'll have it up as soon as I can after I catch up

Have some replies in the mean time

It's TIME

Gura killed it in that VA fauna and Ame weren't bad either

I thought Axel said in his debut that his tails were attached to him.

He actually said "like clip on" so they could be attached just not functional

I thought Kronii's voice acting was really well done and particularly stood out, followed by Ina's, surprisingly (thought her parts started pretty weak but progressively got better through out the video).

All three of them were pretty good

Wtf is that ironmouse model? how many models do these people even have at this point?

RE Ironmouse models:

Iirc the reason she makes so many is because she sees it as one of the advantages of being a vtuber. If all people want to do is be the same but in a different cosplay then functionally it's no different to a fleshtuber changing clothes. In which case you're not leveraging the full potential of vtubing.

I don't necessarily agree but I can see where she's coming from. Sometimes it might be nice to see an entirely different artist's take on your design. My assumption is that Mousey finds it harder to change herself IRL and is living vicariously through her models but obviously that's just my rrat.

Personally I prefer to be able to recognize someone at a glance which is why, as annoying as it can be re artist wait times etc, I prefer the not-VS approach to outfits.

NOOOOO NOT THIS SONG TOO

MariMari is streaming right now and she is going through food pyramids.



She finally found the right pyramid for her.

 

[Sithis]

Uh guys what the fuck is going on with the PC girls tonight lmao

 

[Just pretending]

It's basically based on the thought if humans were out in the galaxy, and we were actually tougher and more resilient than alien species given our natural and borderline dumb ability to survive things that would kill average creatures and most species evolved from prey rather than predator. The deathworlder series based on the idea, space fantasy bs basically.

So dogs would be our Squigs? I can roll with that.

You can't expect people who throw hundreds of dollars away on png's to make rational decisions.

I've never been so offended by something I wholeheartedly agree with.


I've watched Pippa's house review (?) stream. I can't even anymore.
Pippa: You should use tinted glass and curtains, otherwise other people might check what is where and plan a burglary if they see something worth stealing.
Okay, that's pretty reasonable so far...
Pippa 10 minutes later: If there's a mountain or a hill nearby your house, you enemies might set up a camp there and snipe you from afar.
MEDS. TAKE YOU FUCKING MEDS, RABBIT.

When did all vtubers become vshojo-lite? I bet these girls haven't even gotten laid with that many men... or any...

MariMari has always been like that. She doesn't do coombaiting at all. She's has off the cuff and very weird humor, but it's not lewd at all like Vshojo.

Also, it looks like Shondo threw up blood. Pretty scary. Unless she is just joking or she's drunk.

Time to shill an ongoing marathon stream. Indie Kayamori Emma (Chouette) is on her fourth consecutive stream since Saturday to draw all 107 Galar Pokemons. Just look at the number of hours for each stream.

She was late around 1.5 hours due to oversleeping on her current stream but it's perfectly understandable.

Spoiler

When she was in .LIVE/Idolbu as Yaezawa Natori she did marathon streams to draw Pokemons from Kanto (around 30 hours) to Sinnoh as well.

The lewder a girl is on stream, the more likely she is to still be a virgin, desperately roleplaying getting dick and pleasing the great unicorn in the sky.

All unicorns must subscribe to the Japanese 18+ agencies immediately.

Or barring that, to Vshojo, I suppose.
