General Discussion for Virtual Youtubers / Vtubers / Chuubas - it's okay to be a simp for 2D, just don't thirstpost.

[Bingeamint]

@Bingeamint Can't quote your comment. Regarding how the server seems to shit its bed everytime they have an big event (Sport fes, Summer fes), is it possible to fix that and allow the server to run butter smooth even with linked worlds and 30+ players running around all over the place at the same time?

This is definitely possible to fix but goes back to a post I did a while back, if we knew spec wise what the servers are now it would be a great deal of help. For all we know the JP server could be just running off YAGOO PC in his office while it would do a few people, as we have seen in the past soon as you go like plus 10 people it just fucking melts as it cant deal with that many connections. Now thinking about it now, I do lean towards it being the hardware side of things, as usually Japanese internet is pretty dam good in some areas and considering it's office based now, I "assume" it would be very good now because of all the steaming they do. Here's a rough average of their internet speeds:

What will be interesting to see is what server is technically able to handle more people, because we haven't seen mass people on the EN one yet only on JP. I'm sure we will get some sort of an answer soon. Feel free to read the sort of summary I did below.

This is by far by biggest worry when they join the JP and EN. Because there is a few ways they could go about it and is quite technical to do with a fair few plugins which are going to put extra strain on both servers. It either one of the 2 issues when it comes to Minecraft servers:

1. The hardware isn't stonk enough to be able to handle the amount of players rendering the world at once. It is possible it is this, AFAIK the EN server is hosted by Ame (I could be wrong but the rest it still valid) and could be running off domestic hardware (Your standard Gaming PC). What would be in an ideal world is an actual enterprise serer which has plenty of RAM slots as that what you need the most rather than CPU speed. 8GB of RAM in a LAN setting would be pretty good for 2-3 people maybe but considering this isn't LAN based and there could be now like 5+ people on the EN server alone, I would probably aim for somewhere between 30-50GB of RAM dedicated to it purely, might be overkill slightly but you rather over compensate. Also now SSD's are way more cheaper, having just SSD's instead of HDD, will make a BIG improvement, so that could another factor.

2. The internet connection for the server is shite. This is a massive factor because of people joining from all over the world, for a smooth minimum for the players they currently have you want the download to be at LEAST 30mbit up and maybe half of that for down. I think this is maybe the most likely factor as you also have to take in account the players internet speed as well.

Basically shit is quite technical, it don't help we know barely any info about the actually servers themselves. Quite a bit of it as well is actually setting up the server with the correct dedicated amounts and making plugins work as smooth as possible. Its quite easy to royally fuck it all up. (Used to host a MC server back in the day, made some good money though)

My biggest surprise at the server merge is that BUTTON was able to place one of her Menya Botan's posters and the art showed up correctly.

@ArkFordArt - I didn't like Sana's and OOGEYRRAT's eyes, they should be rounder and more expressive. The sassy chopper is spot-on

So Silvervale is currently streaming her new Live2D model on twitch. I went to check it out as Yoclesh played a hand in designing it. And.....it's really good? Like, she's still doing the hornball act every once in a while. But the normal animation and stuff on the model is really good. The color shift from neons to pastels suits it really well. And the mouth tracking in particular seems to be pretty good.

She posted one of those vTuber intro video things on her Youtube using it.

Twitch Stream/VOD will be here:

Silver's model isn't too bad, good mouth flap matching and she can wag her tail like her 3D
Edit: goddamn

 

[Fougaro]

On a somewhat different note, I've been recently binge watching videos and streams of Selen and I quickly warmed up to her. Her being always in such a good mood and having a contagious laughter certainly helped.

And given how much of a beautiful dumpster fire the Dead Space stream was due to the PC port having more bugs than Klandathu, I would love to see Selen (or any other VTuber) play Skate 3.

Well thats a massive improvement compared to her "i dont know what anime is" 3D model she had

 

[Takodachi]

Sorry Pippa, but Artia got exactly what she deserved, and I truly hope she sinks back into irrelevancy and becomes a wagecuck

 

[Biobreak]

For me, the issue has never been Silvervale's model. It's her streaming personality. She's the very definition of average - the Dalton line of Vshoujo. In a cluttered vtubing space, the worst you can be is average and forgettable. There's nothing that she does that you can't find other chuubas, indie or corpo, that do it far better. But that's just me though.

Akirose has two ARK servers running simultaneously and the weaker one is able to handle 70 international players on it at all times
management wont let her run the minecraft server for whatever reason

what's the story? artia is a chink vtuber who got the boot?

I had the opposite reaction to Silver's new model. I actually really liked the "airhead" model that she was using. It suited her personality. She made it work well with various cosmetic addons too. So when I saw the new 2D model, I was a bit disappointed. But after watching her talk for a while, I'll probably get used to it. It is really well made. Both the model and the rigging.

 

[Takodachi]

Artia was a former Hololive CN Vtuber who got the boot when the branch was cut off, people hate her because she shit talked Coco and was an asshole to her genmates, to the point of cruelty.
Not to mention she is a chink nationalist

 

[Thomas Talus]

She was part of Hololive China, but sided with the Chinese antis who harassed Haachama and Coco over mentioning Taiwan in their viewer metrics last summer, which led to the closure of HoloCN. This has continuing repercussions to this day, with businesses with Chinese branches/ties pulling out of collabs with Hololive, as was seen recently with Playism.

Yea Starting with me, what kinda shit opinion is this, and I Like Reine

The indonesian hit squad rigged it.

Mentioned it earlier when I just woke up but thought I'd mention it again with timestamps.

The LazuLight group karaoke stream that they've been hyping up for the past week was just a ruse to 'prank' Pomu into meeting one of her musical idols: a composer and singer of Touhou tracks who she regards very highly called Beat Mario.

I've timestamped the moment Finana and Elira bait her into talking about him right before he gatecrashes their karaoke.

It seems they had this in the works for a month, as it was actually their manager's idea after they heard how much Pomu was fangirling over being at OtakuThon 2021 whilst he was there too.

Given the timing, I wouldn't be surprised if this was intended as some sort of post-surgery surprise from them.

You can see Pomu just glow with emotion after Beatmario dynamic entry'd into the broadcast.

She also shit talked more than just Coco, she also shit talk poor Choco and her terrible singing. Meanwhile that ugly yellow gremlin couldn't sing worth a shit herself.

@murdered meat bag Artia's fans also like to jack off that she was clever or talented because she aped 4chan and Twitch culture while pandering to Reddit. The last thing was the only good thing she did, as it encouraged the vtuber subreddit to split into the Hololive one we have now, but it would've happened eventually.

sounds like the chinks ruin everything. so pippa is a fan of artia?

I've never heard a single good thing about the bitch, how the fuck did she have fans?!

"Shit talk" is under-selling it.

She pretty much virtue-signaled to the rest of the bugmen that she approved of Coco's suspension and even encouraged their harassment campaign against her via her personal CN social accounts. And when Cover decided they were axing the CN branch, she also tried to strong-arm Cover into letting them keep their vtubing models post-termination by announcing it publicly.

Bitch tried to play both sides - dog-whistling support to the bugmen campaign and all the while presenting a facade to the western audience. We rag on Cover a lot due to the myriad of autistic management mishaps they've done to Coco and other JP talents but their sole decision to raze an entire branch rather than acquiesce to the bugmen is fucking admirable - especially in lieu of other corpos kowtowing to West Taiwan.
