Starving architects fags BASED

Ironic the architects could feed other people... but they could not feed themselves.

It's wigger fashion from the early 2000's you wouldn't understand being a SEAnig and all

I do actually like Lonesome Road but it's quite a bit of railroading for your roleplay. Wonder how Gigi will cope.

If she killed Ulysses on sight it would solve a lot of problems with that DLC.

I actually like him as a character but he just doesn't work as an overarching background villain in a choice-based sandbox RPG vidya game.

The artist who drew this should have his hands cut off, because I looked several times before I realized that it said “First Starring Role” and not "IRS Starring hole"...

He's just another mouthpiece character like Kreia Chris Avellone uses to "criticize" stuff he doesn't personally like

Except this time it's about his seething hatred of Romeboo LARPers and Californians, so I can fully agree with this shitty mouthpiece character, therefore, Ulysses is good. Great even.

Ah yes the Bear-Bull guy. I like Dead Money and Honest Hearts cause it gave me the B.A.R., the Thompson, and M1911A1 respectively.

Reddit - The heart of the internet

www.reddit.com

an actually worthwhile reddit post

Spoiler: text for if you don't wanna go into leddit

Hello all, I was lucky enough to get an invite to the Stanford APARC Conference. It was an intimate little event with only about 120 attendees or so. Proof:

Here is a recap of Yagoo's keynote that I took:

(Note: They had live translators talking into earpieces for the audience to use. It was a bit hard to follow every point entirely. If there are any other attendees here that can help clarify points I would much appreciate it!)

- Yagoo's presentation was very much focused on what Hololive / VTubing was and what Cover's business model and strategies were.
- Yagoo used clips of Pekora playing Holocure and Suisei's 2nd live to show off "what is Cover Corp / Hololive"

- Pretty sure he made a typo because under the subscribers per branch he had DEV_IS listed with 580mm total subs, while other branches showed xx.xMM subs

- Showed off revenue sources: 21.5% stream content / 47.4% merch / 17.9% concerts and events / 13.2% licensing and collabs

- Then he showed Suisei's Budokan Concert explaining how they set things up physically in the theater, calling out Hatsune Miku as the pioneer of these kinds of concerts. Pointed out that Hatsune Miku was the only Vocaloid well known outside of Japan and that VTubers could be bigger and better with these types of concerts.

- Showed off Pekora being most watched female streamer and Marine being most subbed JP member then discussed how Cover's Professionally Generated Content + User Generated Content couldn't compete with the quality and quantity of a certain country's content creation, which he would later state that "That's why we decided to not compete there, there's no way we can win."

- He really wants to focus on branching into NA, hence why they recently set up Cover's US branch, then proceeded to advertise Holo OCG English release.

- Asked if he had plans to ever do Overseas HoloExpo, said he wants to but it's too expensive.

- Asked about VTubers branching into Edutainment - said it really depends on each VTubers talents, specially mentions / praises Raden and her escapades with Museums and Art.

- Follow up question, what about VTubers getting into edutainment to help incarcerated people or even VTuber lawyers? - Yagoo gave us a story about how he proposed to the Legal department that they all become VTubers and inform / advise other Cover employees as VTubers,

- Asked about the career lengths of VTubers being relatively short.

• He said it really depends on the talent and what their needs are and if Cover can support their needs.
• He hopes to give other countries their own Mocap studios like HQ has.
• Said that they tell every VTuber that leaves that they can come back if they want to.

- Not worried about AI taking over VTubing industry or causing problems, said they don't use any Machine Learning at all right now but thinks they may need to in the future (Couldn't catch what for)

- Not worried about market oversaturation with VTubers because in Japan the market isn't saturated yet

- Asked about gen development and talent scouting.

• Said they went from the company deciding both the world view of the gen as a unit/whole and the world view of each character over to the company still deciding on the direction / theme of the gen as a whole but working with the scouted talents to determine their individual characteristics and world view.
• They're going to look into the iPhone and see their model every day and they don't want them to get sick at looking at themselves.
• Said he knew from the get go that Miko and Subaru were something special when he personally found them.

He did make a joke about going to school for mechanical engineering because he loved Gundam, yet somehow found himself in the video game industry while all his school buds went on to things like Mitsubishi engineering.

On a related note, during the after party I asked the CFO of Sony Music Japan, Mr. Hide Nagata-san, about Sony's foray into the VTubing scene. He straight up said they just can't compete with Cover and AnyColor, they already control too much of the space.

Bits which are most relevant to the EOPs here

- He really wants to focus on branching into NA, hence why they recently set up Cover's US branch, then proceeded to advertise Holo OCG English release.

- Asked if he had plans to ever do Overseas HoloExpo, said he wants to but it's too expensive.

• He hopes to give other countries their own Mocap studios like HQ has.
• Said that they tell every VTuber that leaves that they can come back if they want to.

• Said they went from the company deciding both the world view of the gen as a unit/whole and the world view of each character over to the company still deciding on the direction / theme of the gen as a whole but working with the scouted talents to determine their individual characteristics and world view.

Obviously take it all with a grain of salt, since this is just a random online person's recollection of an event that to my knowledge wasn't even recorded.

Ah, those are the 3 inch platform shoes she used to mock Gigi for being short.

Yeah, it took a couple of reads to figure out what the heck it actually was supposed to be. I saw the image over on Reddit and thought it was a troll at first pass. At least it isn't a Sushi Glory Hole joke, just bad type setting.

In other news, it's Rawe Ceek and F1 is in much Pain this week.

I am watching Nerissa's stream and maybe I am just too low IQ for these games, but I don't get the point. They seem too pretentious.

As a Kronii viewer I can tell you all indie games are pretentious slop, every single one is about depression or gay shit or depressed gays, or fantasy that leads into depression or some form of political shit hidden behind the depression.

I like watching girls play Iron Lung. It basically avoided very single trope indie horrorslop games had and just went straight to the point with being oppressive and creepy. The worldbuilding isn't some metaphor for depression, it's just senseless cosmic horror that has no explanation and that actually is a good thing.

Classic FNaF games are also fun to watch.
