But most unions that I know of in my country are good and offer help even to non-members.
Most US unions view anyone not in the union as the scum of the earth, especially members of unions whose field of work overlaps with theirs (e.g., Longshoremen v. Operating Engineers). We've even recently seen a union (Teamsters) completely screw over their members in one company (company went under, no more jobs and kiss your retirement packages goodbye) to prove how far the union was willing to take things in negotiations with a bigger company.

Not-Magni is streaming with Not-Bettel types things on his chat while he plays Pikmin.

Yeah this shit is fucking over. At this point we just have to wait until what I assume is the 10th for the official Cover black text on white background image pops up on Twitter. 860 Viewers
Bettel might as well graduate also as a show of solidarity with Magni

Someone earlier in this thread mentioned that SAG does good because it isn't about the millionaire top billing actors but the tens of thousands of "little guys" working small parts and having the top billing actors part of the strike gives it more power. However the studios have already made it clear that they don't want to negotiate and they're planning to just wait it out until the writers can no longer pay their bills. This isn't a problem for the big bucks folks but the "little guys" are now super screwed because they're out of a job indefinitely and if they try to go around it, they're blacklisted. I know Ryan Reynolds is working on Deadpool 3 and he's noted that even though he's an actor and not part of the strike in that regard, he's also part of the writing team so he can't do shit in that regard. Unions can be useful but it's very common for them to do stupid shit that screws over a lot of people that just want to work.

Idk about the US but in my country unions are basically just lazy fucks who throw their weight around, get money from the government and then the money disappears into the void aka the pockets of the insanely corrupt leaders. They basically replaced the money-hungry employers with their own money-hungry overlords that don't even do anything.

Time for man made horrors

Well, a bit off topic, but my family owned a few taxidermed Crocodilia that got "imported" in the 60s before any rules for that existed; unfortunately, we don't have 2 out of 3 of them.
Around three years ago my Mother wanted to sell a few Books of my late Father (who was the one that got the Animals) she found a Buyer and she showed the Buyer to the Book Room where two of the Crocodilia where stored, too. The buyer saw then and instantly said "those are not allowed i will sue you if you dont bring them to the Customs" unfortunaly i live far away from home so couldnt intervene as she didnt mentioned that it happened to me for a while.

the "little guy" wont see dick because all that money is gonna get lost as it goes through the higher ups. Unions ran their usefulness around the 70's everything after that is just commie bullshit designed to trick retards into giving away their shit to put a bunch of less retarded people on top of them to leech of off the rest.

On topic. Here have some clip of the doggos

I bet will end up in the right hands. For sure. Just like the teachers strike here for better pay led to the middling union fuckers getting a bigger raise from the money received, and teachers getting jack shit. On the other side, I feel no sympathy for writers making 7k a month writing she-hulk who then go on to complain about residuals. So few jobs get residuals, and they think they're being taken advantage of? Work a normal job where if the product continually sucks, you get sacked.

I'm biased. I think unions had a place initially (guilds for physical labor crafstmen are a whole other topic and are needed), but a lot of them seem to be useless and siphon money that should actually go to the workers, to middle men who don't actually do anything of note. I also don't give a rats ass what hollywood, the writers or the actors do. They haven't produced anything worth money and at this point, independent and smaller companies not tied to SAG and such, content creators and chuubas, can produce more personal, coherent pieces of media.

See, I can dig people like DiCaprio, Rock "The Dwayne" Johnson and everyone else on that list putting their money where they mouth is and helping the fraction of people that could use corporations to pinch less pennies.

But for every one of them, there's people like fucking Mark Ruffalo, who dresses like a hobo for a photo op and bitches online to guilt people that aren't fuck money millionaires into donating, instead of actually helping out. Fuck him and every jackass like him, I hope they step on a particularly sharp lego.

The problem with this particular union strike is the fearmongering about AI, as though it's a genuine threat to anyone with actual talent in the industry rather than being a tool they could potentially utilise. It's reminiscent of the travelling bands in the Musicians' Union panicking about DJs and record machines stealing their jobs.

Eh, I get it. AI/Deep Learning has made leaps and bounds the past 2 years and will most likely only continue to improve, even if it hits diminishing returns. And the bigwigs know this. They aren't fighting for something that's happening in the next 5 years, but the future in general as the tech gets better.

And another unmentioned thing they're fighting for is having their likenesses copied and signed over to the film studio so they own all the rights and are allowed to digitally implement you in the background of whatever they want. Granted, it's as simple as not signing it. But there will always be morons who will.



Been watching a lot of Fauna because her clippers are probably one of the most dedicated ones, making long form clips. Makes it easy for those who don't have time to catch streams or watching VODs.

Why are there no clipper like this? If there are any please throw them my way.

Kowkarot used to make content like that, and longer clips. But seems like he's gravitated more towards short memeable clips sadly.

For big events/streams there's Tawnky. But he usually takes his time with those, understandably.

Akirose's crepe booth will have seiso customers today at 6PM JST.

Somehow Matsuri got replaced by Koyori.

Re:AcT's Lisa Makoh and Shishigami Leona releasing a cover at 7PM JST.

Lisa will be chatting and drinking with Usuwa Suu at 5.30PM JST before the premiere.

Today is Touri Sei's birthday live, stream starts at 7.55PM JST.

She sometimes plays her piano and on her 3D debut she played with 3D piano as well so there's a possibility she will do it again. There will be a premiere after the 3D live as well at 10PM JST.

Good day all, I'm here to request recommendations of your favorite instrument playing vtubers (or any, doesn't have to be your favorite). Instrument playing streams have become some of my favorites within vtubing, so I'm looking for some more vtubers that do these at least every once in a while. Doesn't have to be every week or even every month, but I'd like to be able to go through their vods and see a few dedicated streams that aren't all special events or one-time donothon rewards, only to never do them again (looking at you Rie/ @superduper. Need to start doing some guitar streams). Hell, if you know of any that stream themselves trying to learn one, I might be interested. Doesn't matter what language they speak either. Also doesn't matter the instrument.

So far, the ones I've been watching/getting into are:
  • Uruka with her violin. If I can help it, I never miss a stream when she plays violin, sometimes even watching her over my favorite vtubers streaming at the time. She's really good and fun to listen to. Helps I like the violin a lot.
  • Ruki with her flute. Thanks to @kushami tasukaru posting her streams here, I gave her a watch/listen, and she's great. I also like the flute a lot, so these are nice, relaxing streams for me.
  • Patra with her guitar. Also thanks to Kushami for sharing, I finally spent some time to listen to her this weekend, and God damn, this is something I needed in my life. Never expected to find myself enjoying an anime girl shredding on guitar to Cowboys from Hell or Master of Puppets, but I've been having a lot of fun with her guitar stream vods. Great song choices too.
So yeah, if there's any recommendations out there for instrument playing vtubers, I'd love to check them out. Can't guarantee I'll keep up with them, but I'd like to at least give them a try. Thanks!
Amahane Miran plays violin while singing. She will be streaming at 8PM JST.


One of the guests in Re:AcT's Virtual Medley, Mun Mosh plays acoustic guitar.

Ririsya and UniVirtual's Shiratama Utano also play acoustic guitar.

Unfortunately Re:AcT's Isana Kuryu has already graduated but she played guitar for Hanabasami Kyo twice.




Following their collab, Ange turned Koyori into a sukebe dog.


Also reposting this because you guys are talking about AI.

There's another video with just Lisa and apparently someone dumped the Danganronpa script for the AI.

So I dunno how we missed it, but some fucking Unicorn sent this to Nerissa in her monetization stream yesterday.

Checked and confirmed it's on the list in Hololyzer.

Losers need to get over themselves, Advent hasn't even been around long enough to reach oshi status.
All I can think about when reading comments like that is the Korone clip where she describes having to be nice to the unicorns because she might be the only female contact they have, and the sheer soul-withering cringe she must have felt to admit something like that out loud.

Agreed. Movies and Television have become far less important in my life than when I was younger. There are other modes of entertainment (video games, manga, independent films, vtubing, etc) to choose from. The industry will have to adapt or die, and I feel that within 20 years it will be radically different than what we see today. I think Hollywood will lose its dominance, and perhaps other studio centers will develop in the US. In fact, with the difficulties of doing business in California, I think that change will happen even more rapidly.

It's strange that for professions who practice inspiring emotions in other people, that most Hollywood actors and writers chose to be as unlikeable as possible. I'm not going to miss them if they go, and in fact, I'm looking forward to see what rises from the ashes to replace them.

We've even recently seen a union (Teamsters) completely screw over their members in one company (company went under, no more jobs and kiss your retirement packages goodbye) to prove how far the union was willing to take things in negotiations with a bigger company.
US Unions always fail because their structures basically mean they'll always destroy themselves or their company. The only successful unions are small, independent and in highly skilled fields with strong locality. Basically, sports league unions and a couple of ones around high skilled fields. The rest are failures that destroy their industry. And most of that is purely because of the legal structure.
Idk about the US but in my country unions are basically just lazy fucks who throw their weight around, get money from the government and then the money disappears into the void aka the pockets of the insanely corrupt leaders. They basically replaced the money-hungry employers with their own money-hungry overlords that don't even do anything.
Unions work in some places, but not a lot. Basically Japan and Germany; mostly a failure everywhere else. There's reasons for that. But they're political entities first and foremost.

I also don't give a rats ass what hollywood, the writers or the actors do. They haven't produced anything worth money and at this point, independent and smaller companies not tied to SAG and such, content creators and chuubas, can produce more personal, coherent pieces of media.

The actors and the digital likeness stuff is actually a big issue. But the Studios wanted the strikes. They can clear out billions in bad deals. Also, the writers really need a deep look in the mirror. Nearly every high profile project has been an objective writing disaster for a decade. Also, the PR departments using mass scale defamation as a marketing tool hasn't helped matters.
