I could shill my self but I'm afraid it would fuck with my chances of getting into a corpo what if they are reading the thread right now and would not give me the chance of day because I shitpost about chubas on a internet forum.
Also my broke ass made my own model and I can't draw humans so I don't want you guys seeing my art

Man, power of Magni grows by the second. First Magmo, now Beys? Fortunately there were unable to control the power hidden inside, and the world was spared for now. Those uneducated, consider the following:

"Not everyone is meant to be good at math, the same goes for anything, like streaming" - You know what makes you good at math? Going to class. Listening to the lesson. Doing your homework

Love that quote, gives me hope.

My debut stream starts at 7PT/10ET, less than two hours from this post. Thanks to all who can drop by and give me some feedback.

I only watched about 10 minutes as I have some other stuff to do right now, but so far so good, couldn't find anytthing to complain about. Easy to listen to with no cringe and no dead air, and kept it interesting.

Lia is back on twitter and seems to be in a better mood. She made a few oblique comments on the situation for anyone wishing to craft their rrats.

I remember that one story about some pseudo-feminist who made a company entirely composed of women to OWN THE CHUDS! and fucking lost her mind after like a year of it

Here you go, archive for obvious source reason.

Looks like Tamaki was back yesterday and is now streaming with various guests playing jigsaw puzzle.


For nostalgia before the current drama, Patra playing the first Guilty Gear. I remember playing this and getting a nasty bug against the final boss, getting hit with the instant kill move and the game locked during the move animation.


If you are Nihongo jouzu, Ange Katrina is recommending ero books for 2023. As I am making this post she's recommending NTR books.


Singing stream? HiyoCro's Touri Sei and WACTOR's Hizuki Miu singing together, Sei on Piano and Miu on Ukulele.

To heal from the last pics, have a pic of one of Calli’s cats

So place your bets! this ain't tutu, so is she gonna reveal tutu as Calli and pretend she only has one or is she gonna say fuck it and reveal both on both DDK and Calli with different names?
Edit: by that I meant Tutu and Misojirou clearly aren't the same cats

I believe it hasn't been posted here yet but Mika Melatika will be getting a new costume on 27th

To wit, the tweets basically point out that some of the NijiID doing a offline met up with the now-graduated NijiID Miyu Ottavia since they are in the same country and all (barring Azura Cecilia who are currently in Straya and possibly other IDs who live in area that isn't central aka Jakarta/Jabodetabek), and they kinda playing it around like they were being haunted by the soul of a shit-posting otter, but generally speaking its not really connected to the rest of the vagueposting where they probably just mentioned about needing some break and all.

On the second link, though, I did hear about this since some Nijifans on a place I was part of did talk about it. One of the talent, Derem Kado is basically not really feeling well because she felt like she has to essentially commit more to use her JP speaking expertise to get more viewerships and she would want to try to ya know, not use JP. She also mentioned some sort of internal issue (unsure if it was Nijisanji related or her own real life matters), but she said she don't want others to try speculating. So it might be just her being burn out.

Generally speaking, at the moment NijiID themselves are having a bit of issues with their lives right now and not exactly because of the Niji-related issue. Azura Cecilia is having issues with her home, Siska Leontyne is dealing with throat issue that rendering her lacking the ability to talk long, and other stuff that each ID talents couldn't easily mention except by vagueposting. There is possibility that they too aren't exactly enjoying the merge, but at the same time, they don't have anything that is damning enough for them to follow like Miyu and graduate (who did it partly because of her creative differences with Nijisanji post-merge), and would stay in the boat for now, until they believed they are ready to move on, or that things would change.

I mean, of course they probably gonna be feeling something when they lost their branch while the other competitor not only retain theirs, but also managed to hit way higher than everyone combined despite them being the first.

I mean the fan concern wasn't without a base, exID are understandably going on a drought right on the moment njEN took off, and then it gets worsen with the merging which has been proven to be detrimental towards their growth, sure that they've been getting recognition from merchandising viewpoints and all but I feel that they-- along with exKR are still at the bottom row of nijisanji priority now.

Say that I entertain the idea that they've getting burnouts, even way before then they've been mostly independent with their ID staff helping here and there. If they're not doing well and aren't being promoted as much as EN, why aren't niji doing anything to help their growth? This is also notably the case with the short-term India branch. If they're not willing to invest as much towards their KR/ID branches then why bother holding them on the sticks?

HoloID proves that the VTuber market can flourish here so I don't really understand why niji thought it'll be wise to let them do their own thing and gives them the bare minimum adverts during company-wide projects, I too would question the merging decision if I'm getting no real incentive out of it beside "now you have to git gud on other audiences too unless you wanted to stay on the bottom barrel"

[Scuddle]

I'm not too keen on involving myself with discourse about the ID branches but I would offer a general caution against using HoloID as a measuring stick of domestic success.

HoloID has a significant Western and Japanese fanbase baked into their numbers and their streams are overwhelmingly done in English. There was even that week that got memory-holed where Risu was angry she was being told to speak Indonesian more for domestic fans that management seemed to give up on.

They are obviously doing far better than NijiID ever will but they are also an outlier with nebulous demographic distribution relative to any other ID-based branch you can think of. It's paradoxical to accuse the Niji management of telling them to appeal to other audiences via other languages for growth (which they haven't) when that is effectively what happened to the branch they're being compared to, while ex-ID have maintained that they have never been asked to speak in anything other than Indonesian and most do just that.

Derem Kado is a unique example because it wasn't management but instead a small group of Japanese fans finding her cute and deciding to stick around. Of course she is going to be aware that speaking Japanese is an angle she can take to find a new audience because it's exactly what ex-KR did.

From the other pictures, Tutu was more orange colored, and she said she was probably going to get two cats. And you know what happens when someone gets two cats? They get a third one. And then a fourth one. And then it goes on until they die alone, surrounded by 87 cats.

Ok, I'm a bit more interested in this now, anyone can give a rundown?

What I can figure out, Lia invites a dude on stream he acts a bit of a creep, keeps going in chat after, Tenma comes and bans him, lia blocks him, and then the dog piling went too far.

Is it correct, or am I missing something?

Honestly I don't know. NijiID pre-merge was doing on their own well enough, but either they were operating at a loss that is enough for Niji management to merge them or that they felt like, since KR pretty much fucked that badly, ID might be the same, just not as explicit as KR was. I still see India's failure less of lack of advertisement and more like they went to a market that they don't fully understand, which isn't helped with their sudden brand change (and rebranding before disclosure).

I'm not too keen on involving myself with discourse about the ID branches but I would offer a general caution against using HoloID as a measuring stick of domestic success.

They are overwhelmingly in english, but it was until 2nd and 3rd gen where the talents are more confident (i guess) to talk in ID for their stream. Especially Kobo, whose english skill is somewhat lower than most of the HoloIDs. While yes, their popularity can be chalked up by the numbers from overseas viewerships, I am specifically pointing at Kobo and how she manages to made every weebs in Indo to praise "Mantra Hujan" (Kobo's original).

I'm not exactly want the NijiID to appeal to outside like EN at the moment (I don't want another Mika, thanks), but I do want ID to get more aid with the management from JP, at the very least. They already have their own capacity in ID pre-merge and even they managed to do things after that (Alice in Musicland cover, which was a group project/effort), why not let them continue their thing post-merge? It kind of feel like, alienating since the fans and weebs in ID couldn't really understand the merge and would just refer NijiID as "no longer ID" or something.

The fact that each weeb cons here that I go to keep having NijiEN cosplayers while there's barely any NijiID cosplays irks me.

Anyway, just giving the ID some support or acknowledgement is already a blessing as it is, especially now that they got actual merch and all. But right now, I kinda wonder if it was too little too late or not. As for Derem, I'm sure that she just burned out, not really part of the possible current NijiID issues right now. But who knows?
