came back nearly an hour later to see they were still fighting the same damn boss.

"Same damn boss in a slightly different location"

I dont know what's up with the new monhun, but the Rise streams I watched, alot of it was riding and controlling a different monster to hit the main boss and it actually looked somewhat fun and has variations to the fights. Every stream I watch of this one has just been boring slapfights and random flash bangs.

The only notable thing I ever saw came out of entire Monhun Wilds saga was Towa clicking on the wrong mission and got made fun of by Irys & Co. That's it.

I can watch old as JRPGs fine, older FPS too like Halo or TF2 or Doom or whatever, I can watch platformers, Minecraft, I like some horror games, but something about Monster Hunter, Soulslike, MOBA, Chilla Art horror slop, or modern shooters leave me completely disinterested.

Jokes on you she hates FPS..

It'd be a week of honor of kings.

Well at least it's not like she's doing an all indog collab for MonHunslop or anything.

I haven't watched a solo Bijou stream for a while now. Just not feeling like watching her anymore for some reason.

Kinda same to me. At the start I wouldn't hesitate to call her my favorite in Advent, but nowadays I think I would name Shiori instead.

Edit:
It's hard to explain why though. I just feel like as time went on, her "style" and the way she present herself just kinda got repetitive to me?

 

[Kazuma]

I'd say out of Advent and Justice, Cici, Gigi, and Liz are my favorites.

CC, GG, and Biboo for me. Fuwamoco a not close but not distant fourth.

Day old but a tekken player wore Shiori's hat to his tournament (and there's a dog as well I guess)

Wait.. pink hair?

Holo is in a weird place because of their hit rate right now
The more logical thing to do would be continue debutting new talents, miko/suisei are Holo's current hottest vtubers. But neither of them started out successful, they were their worst talents by every metric, fighting tooth and nail for every single viewer. For a continued success/dominance over the industry, they needs new "worst talents" that would do dog shit numbers today and take over the industry in 7 years, once the current "old guards" loses popularity or graduates.
But they are so hung over "treating everyone equally" and "maintaining high success rates" that they stopped debutting new talents. They are so scared of JP7 not meeting people's expectation that they decided to ... just not release one.
I bet if even one of Fauna/Mumei/Ame didn't leave, Holo would not release en 5. Or maybe they still aren't going to.
Their only saving grace is that other corpos are so much more inefficient than they are.

Anyway speaking of JP7 regloss had their 3D mini today to show off Holo's unreal engine and it was ... hella janky and ugly. But I guess you gotta start somewhere

What is a worst talent? Miko/Peko being niconico girls and not being as popular as a vtuber? Riona is the worst now, does she count?

I feel as if this has awakened something in me, but I absolutely do not like what it is. I'm gonna take a cold shower and then hit the gym later.

The level of pon IRL is quite irresistible. *Fuck, I dropped the camera now what? Oh, I'll step on it almost up-skirting myself while also showing my face because I need to know where is it. "Yatta~"*. Go to a waiting screen you goof.


The Regloss 3d was fun. Raden is Marine/Matsuri levels of awkward/uncoordinated. Sometimes the model makes her look silly and others it's her pachinko smoker athletics. You know a group works when you feel sad when someone is missing. Ao, don't be a tortured artist! I hate the new audience, it's bizarre bad AI looking. The audio issues really show their growth, nice improv MC. I am no audiophile but it sounded... not ideal? Maybe that's how they sound live vs. processed? I like the live show anyways as it's endearing. The selfie-stick ending is a cgdcts classic.

They released a separate MV

I really like this trend of re-cutting 3D songs as videos. I assume it's cheaper then a regular MV, lives don't get many rewatches so this allows people to digest a big event like a highlight, and it should be easy for Cover to pull select raw data to re-cut.

30k subs low 3-views
Miko was a 2-view for the longest time before she hit her strides

Joke aside main point was that just fucking release jp7. Noone cares if they dont hit 2m subs in a week.

Regloss Mini Live right now.

Funky framerate aside, I think the biggest problem is that they're way too ambitious with crowd shots when the crowd members are deep in the uncanny valley.

I hope it becomes standard practice, it works out in multiple ways. It's more easily searchable, allows them to fix the camerawork if needed, and because it's not being broadcast "as-live" it can be posted at a higher quality without being affected by connection quirks.

It's not just the one. In fact, it seems all of Kanade's 3D antics are excellent for meme edits.


Edit: Oh yeah, the Rrat has an unarchived karoake that just started a few minutes ago.

Ma'am, you need to stop standing on the seats while reenacting the Titanic. This is against airport guidlines and you're bothering the public by taking up the bench space.

The original stream had something wrong with the audio. I'm pretty sure it was the feed to YT not being set properly. The mix was just wrong on a lot of levels and I found it very offputting trying to watch back through it. It sounded like you were at the back of a venue with bad audio, so everything was just flat and muddled. The recut cleared that up.

I get the idea of putting in a crowd. I also feel like they probably underestimate how much work is necessary to get those shots to not require the entire render farm's resources.

Indonesia isn't a polity, it's a bunch of islands and deeply divided along cultural, tribal and religious lines. You always have to tiptoe around thing. It's not surprising someone set a calendar wrong.

I get the idea of putting in a crowd. I also feel like they probably underestimate how much work is necessary to get those shots to not require the entire render farm's resources.

I certainly get the idea behind it, especially the drone shots up to the stage - it just doesn't land as intended when the crowd are so low-poly and limited in their animation that it looks distractingly goofy. While more simplistic, the sea of lightsticks they usually use is a more effective depiction of a crowd since it lets the viewers' suspension of disbelief kick in.

There are some other distractions there as well like the pyrotechnics being 2D overlays. It's ambitious, but just not there yet.
