General Vtuber Discussion (V1)

At least there is one good thing about the Holomyth Skins in the Gacha Game.

Edit: Literally seconds before me

 

[Todd's Strongest Howard]

He's using it as a thumbnail (and playing more of the game that he did a sponsored stream for, pretty rare for sponsored games to get normal streams afterwards)

It's basically D&D 5e since it's based on the SRD5.1 rules. Pretty much as legally close to D&D as a product can get without brand licensing, and it's pretty solidly made as well for the base game, and the campaign tools are decent enough to produce some good content and simple enough to be accessible to non-autists. I've even posted a few pretty simple and straight forward scenarios myself to test the waters.

Plus, he's got perms for it, and probably just wants to take a run through this cool new scenario he's downloaded. You see, it has this really neat backstory about a guild of adventurers, Tompos, that got displaced from their home dimension and are trying to find their way back, but their every move is being thwarted and hindered by the Dread Wizard Taa'keschee the Celibate...

I don't believe Taa'keschee is a Wizard, he is more akin to a Warlock who signed a contract with "Yaag'ooo" a very disregard dread lord to obtain power beyond his wildest dreams. The party Bard Axl was also given this contract once, but he didn't know how to read infernal so he decided to turn it down because Vespear the party Eldritch Knight made the wise choice to only sign if he could read the fine print. Axl being the young plucky guy who respects Vespear's wisdom took his advice and didn't sign the contract and potentially turn against the party. This would have been a very heart breaking scenario, I was literally pissing and crying at the idea suspense that Axl might betray the guild. I was thought it'd be Magine, the female dragonborn who's class I forgot, she always seemed a little sussy ngl.

New Pippa quote to add:
"Bro. We get it. You watch Hassan."

 

[Faceless Waifu]

Hana is one of the unlewdables, in my objectively correct opinion. Lewding Hana Macchia should be grounds to have you kicked out of the fandom, and possibly off of a building.

I was going to retort, but

Try saying that to Hana herself. That woman openly likes her own lewds (Albeit on a second account).

What void watcher said is pretty much true. She's not as goody two-shoes as people would like to think.

Spoiler: Silhouette

View attachment 7466

Menhera pink cat getting a new model for some reason. Not sure why she needs to moonlight when she already has all the Talent Freedom™ she needs elsewhere, but having a backup prepared ahead of the next shitshow probably ain't a bad idea.

She deleted the tweet but my twitter bot saved it for me. Besides the silhouette she tweeted the planned reveal date: 12/11, jp night. But it seems she got a wrong date and now plans to reveal in on New Year.

Spoiler: correction tweet

Vsinger news, Figaro is forming the group SODAKIT with other Vsingers Mugei, Rasetsu, and Yupsilon (genderless). Her stream announcement here

Roki cover from two weeks ago in their main group channel. Therewill be a live stream at 10PM JST with all group members.

Seems like they are active on this channel for a few weeks now. They already uploaded a handful covers before. I hope her 3D makes progress and she can debut it next year.

Roboco became even cuter with her newest spec upgrade (not really a new outfit, excluding the headgear). This first pic encapsules her goofiness perfectly

Re: Vespear

Spoiler: Quotes

Playing devils advocate here for a small thought experiment, what do you think the "limit" would be for how long a corpo vtuber would last if they openly removed superchats?

A stream? a day? week?

Ame used to turn off superchats pretty regularly (and maybe still does, I haven't been watching her so much recently) with no apparent repercussions from Management.

[Edit] Plus there are the games that don't allow it too - but people still stream them. I don't think it's the huge deal to corrporate that folks seem to be assuming. They have a lot of other income streams...

Honestly, disabling the superchats harms more the creator than the corpo. The corpo has multiple vtubers as source of revenue while the vtuber is mainly superchats or donations by things like streamlabs.

So I don't think management cares a lot more than the vtuber about it

I just don't think turning superchats off is that big of a deal to be honest. This early in their careers maybe as a sort of proof of concept, but the financial situation isn't as desperate as I've seen some people portray.

TLDR; I don’t see any ‘moral’ dilemma from Vesper about superchats outside of a few specific scenarios.

Worth repeating:
- Turning off superchats sometimes isn't a big deal for Hololive. Holos in general (e.g. Ame) are allowed to. Vesper specifically was banned from doing so. You can argue that was unfair or condescending, but you can also make a case for it (e.g. Tempus is a fledgling branch that does get more wrangling, like how they initially only streamed for one hour a day).
- The fight may not have been about the SCs per se (and since SCs were off in the return stream, that may have been resolved in Vesper's favour). The SC issue is just the one conflict between Vesper and management that we know about, and Vesper's approach was dumb, even if we assume for the sake of argument that management slighted him first. If he used this approach for conflicts that we don't know about, management was bound to have words sooner or later. Maybe he blew up at them when confronted. Maybe not even that; depends on how bad his anger issues are.
- I agree SCs are not so much a moral issue for Vesper, but more something he just feels weird about.
- Management is not static. IIRC Kronii mentioned a while ago in a member stream that her manager changed and she was much happier with her new one. That isn't even going into the tumultuous relationship the JP girls seemed to have with management before mid-2021. So I hope things work out for Vesper.

Is that true? How does Vshojo make money then? Just never-ending venture cap funding? Are they making money from merch alone?

From Kson's "We need answers SOUCHOU" stream:
- Donos (presumably after platform cuts) 100% Kson
- Self-funded merch (e.g. Kson's pop-up store) 100% Kson
- VShojo merch 100% (?) VShojo

Does that make enough money for VShojo?

One of the Nijisanji JP vtuber, Kitakoji Hisui is debuting her 3D model right now.

 

[Shuba]

This Roboco update is so good. She has much better range of motion, mouth movement, expressions and she can sweat now. Pon robot is 10x more cute but remains just as pon.

Spoiler: Small Video Example

 

[Continuous Retardation]

Might as well call this shit the God of War Awards at this point.

The God of aWARds?!


I like that Roboco has now become even higher spec by raising her cuteness level with a general update! Stuff like hair swaying more naturally and some more expressions with better mouth movement. I like these streams because they just play with their models and it's always really cute stuff. Here's some of my screenshots to add to the others already posted.

Spoiler: screens

I'm starting to think that Mumei was right about the crying anime girls thing...

mfw I'm watching Roboco

 

[Sky Shouter]

Not sure if this was posted here, but NijiEN had a Crab Game collab and it's a fucking salt mine. Haven't laughed this hard at anything vtuber-related in a while



Enna: "Fuck you Re...oh hi, Rosemi." Nobody can be mad at Rosemi, she's too sweet.

 

[kestraline]

Remember the people talking about the British panda bear rebranding into a lewdtuber jellyfish so people will clip her?


The debut is now. Before and after:

SFW Bilibili version:

 

[Scuddle]

One of the new VTA members, Nonomiya Mera, is being harassed by Chinese fans because she abandoned the fuck out of them in October in pursuit of her 'dream".

Surprising she wasn't in the 2.5 or 3.5 audition given that she had well over 200K subs as Necora Nyaru on BiliBili but it's going to be a tough road to reach her goal. She's genuinely a starlet by the looks of things though: strong streaming presence, can sing, is seemingly pretty decent at games etc.

 

[Aquatic Novellite]

So basically Vesper got suspended because he said some words at management?
Fuck Cover, I hope the Tempus Boys resign and move over to an actual company that cares about their talents.

Vshonen when?

 

[Godzilla1984]

Archivebro retardedly archives literally everything (especially the porn).
I autistically archive mostly everything.
Know the difference.

If you want archivebro's library you have to dig through 4chins.
Also, he's under Kevin's thumb, so he'll edit things out when ordered.

---

I crash immediately, and sometimes during, a stream, so if something gets nuked, either wait or me to wake up in the morning, or go slog through 4chins for archivebro's posts.

 

[Kourai]

Kobo did a handcam stream trying natto for the first time. She rated it 4/10. But now that we've had dinner it's time to get serious.


The MV for Reine's Illusion Night is out. Quite different from her previous output. My vocabulary is lacking. Me like.


From the aftertalk, Reine showed peafowl mama the MV and peafowl mama asked if it was a sad song. ...Maybe?

 

[UberSoldat]

Hana is one of the unlewdables, in my objectively correct opinion. Lewding Hana Macchia should be grounds to have you kicked out of the fandom, and possibly off of a building.

[masterstocking]

Maybe she could crowdfund a dental makeover...or is the gap the source of Pippa's lisp power?
