Rosemi is hosting some sort of game show, pitting the other ENs against one another. I say 'some sort' because apparently none of the girls have any idea what Rosemi has planned for them, and she won't elaborate.

I can't help but notice the difference between rose on Rosemi's chest and pearls on her shoulder.

Damn, Moona's on her way to a million subs.

She got cold feet about and thought Ollie is the one with most subs until chat corrected her(understandable since Ollie is closely behind her)

I still don't understand how it starts the raids back up and why you need to keep the pillager with the banner. But I don't play Minecraft either and all these farms are too big brained for me, so no loss tbh.

Block autism demands it to explain by linking these two videos(she made the farm with this tutorial)

Spoiler: Raid farm

Or TL;DW the farm exploits the raid mechanics, ianxofour explains how it works in detail in the tutorial, as long you understand the basics of Pillager raids(the event itself supposed to summon waves of enemies, raid farms completely bypass the wave spawns format).

As for banner pillager, you need to kill them to get the raid curse. Having them trapped in boats is for convenience as you can skip finding pillager captain to get the curse when you can just climb up and kill one to initiate the raid event.

Oh boy

Among any holomem, I didn't expect Pekora to be the one who invests for in-game stock trades

At this point, it literally a rite of passage, I'd be concerned if they did something out the box now on their first collabs now.

Imagine them playing Synthetik. And the chaos from friendly fires.

Or play Minecraft.

I think Pippa is more eye catching, so that may help with getting new viewers for the company. But Uruka has more subs, richer simps (I regularly see $100 super chats where with Pippa that is rare), and isn't likely to get cancelled on Twitter. If anyone should be the company's main girl, it should be Uruka.

I don't think any of them want to be the 'main girl', but Uruka is a whole lot safer opton to have as it.

100% agree. And I feel like Pippa herself would be fine with not being the main girl/face of the company. As long as she has this loyal fanbase and niche she's carved out for herself, it is probably good enough right? She's successful enough to get paid doing her own type of streams and yet she's under the radar enough so she isn't hunted by those twitter faggots.

Oh wow. It's funny, because I actually think Nemu is very talented. She's a mouse vtuber and I considered bringing her up in this thread many times. She would be great in Phase Connect.

Smol vtuber in ID? what the hell she is smoking, she is literally the representative of the SEA Vtuber community, so is true what people said here that she was not looking at her metrics and getting to her old ways of isolating herself because Ollie was rising to fast

One of the reasons Moona is very high regarded in the community is she abusing the GPB status of ID to make connections with even Russian Vtubers, thing that the rest of the branch even Ollie exploited on their favors, believe it or not ID has much more freedom that JP and EN

Is it too early to say Kroni is the Gura of EN2? I thought for sure the rat would be the one.

Yes considering she is nothing like gura. She's not exploding like the shork did , she has a very different look and feel . Sure she is the biggest of her gen so far but they're all so tiny still who knows. Hell Even Sana still has a big chance if youtube stops nerfing her.

 

[Alter Ego]

It's the end of EN Council's month-long collab ban, and Sana has only just gotten back to her previous peak in sub count amidst the automated purging.

I can't help but feel really bad for Sana as it seems that she's been screwed over in so many ways beyond her control, despite her energy and excellence as a multi-talented entertainer. First it was being announced with the basic profile image of her avatar appearing to be the worst in visual design and quality compared to her genmates. Then it was Susan fucking with Council's subs with Sana seeming to take the most damage. Then it was having Sana's segment of the Council debut streams come first before all of the target North American audience was even awake, even though I think she made the best presentation out of them all. It has long been my impression that a vtuber's growth over her career is largely set by her debut, so I fear that Sana has been permanently damaged by these setbacks.

On the other hand, perhaps I ought to consider that a vtuber's measure of success is much more than just sub counts, and even though there's disparity between the metrics of the Hololive talents, they all ultimately do very well for themselves.

 

[Diya]

Interesting. Seems like whatever YT has been cooking to fight downvote bomb has been really effective.

The downvote was around 1000+ and 2000+ for JP and EN accordingly at the peak. Last night it was 1000+ for both of them (I has been artistically checking). On one hand, good that they finally do something about downvote bomb in general. On the other hand, suck that it was use to protect those licking Chinese's boots. Equality sucks, man.

People keep assuming the vast amount of subs YouTube removed were real people. My understanding is bot accounts subscribe to popular or 'hot' channels as a way of hiding activity. It's possible many of those accounts were bots that got removed.

Sana may have the lowest subs after all the fuckery but her fanbase is pretty dedicated. Kinda like Kiara's.
She'll be fine, her memberships will do well when they open.

Technically she's been pre-purge subcount for 8 days. It took 18 days to get there so I still feel really bad for her. She is very talented and hard working, she definitely deserves the success.

I personally got unsubbed to the girls pre debut about 3 or 4 times each . Hell I think I complained about it on here.

What is it with the girls making silly noises that humours me greatly. Maybe I'm just easily amused.

 

[Jep21]

Society has progressed beyond the need for Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, Clubhouse 51, Biped, and Super Bunny Man to be everyone's first special collab every single time.

Well it is either those or Minecraft, permissions are bullshit but what can you do.

It has long been my impression that a vtuber's growth over her career is largely set by her debut, so I fear that Sana has been permanently damaged by these setbacks.

This is true for Hololive solely because of the massive frontloading, but not anywhere else. Not really. Hololive members have anywhere between 70-100K people who tune into their debut to watch them and that number invariably 'settles' within a couple of weeks. It's their singular opportunity to impress as many people as humanly possible. Hololive have had three exceptions to this rule where they disproportionately inclined relative to their peers, and it has been AkiRose thanks to Reddit, Moona Hoshinova thanks to Pekora, and Tokoyami Towa thanks to sheer willpower and the newer generations having no idea why the JPs shirked her in the first place.

Sana had 86,000 people tune into her debut, but even now that her average has settled to 3-5K, that's still the top of her sub bracket by far. Even the lowest Hololive numbers are anomalous in the industry, people really do need to start realising that all these girls are more than fine as they are. YouTube's involvement with stifling their growth is unfortunate but they still make more in one SC-Opening Stream than we do in months and months of full-time work.

People keep assuming the vast amount of subs YouTube removed were real people. My understanding is bot accounts subscribe to popular or 'hot' channels as a way of hiding activity. It's possible many of those accounts were bots that got removed.

This is somewhat true. It's normal for Susan to fuck over a new Gen/Wave once at the beginning — even fucking NijiKR got slashed in half and they were only at <2K subs — but the sheer multitude of attacks to their sub count does indicate some form of foul play has occurred — likely unbeknownst to Cover.

That said, real people do mistakenly get unsubbed for one reason or another. I have heard that people who use AdBlock are not counted as 'active' accounts; something which is usually innocuous, but when it comes to pruning the real from the 'fake', well, you can imagine the number of people who have that extension plugged in before going about as normal that end up in the crosshairs.

I like John Carpenter's The Thing.
I like Metroidvania games.
I did not like this game.
Let's see how good Tenma's spatial awareness is, because this game is a nightmare in that it has no in-game map.
Hope she'll have the fan map open in another window.

Is not that bad, the devs thought it would be funny to just guide you using the checkpoints and it rarely has any backtrack, once you get the possession skill is where the fun truly start
