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

Not saying every single model has to be at that level, just that they should be aware that the world's advancing pretty rapidly around them, with this being one of the most visible examples, and that not adapting could wind up harming them.

Its not like this is some secret tech that only some riggers know of. Its just an issue of budgets. Corpos with multiple vtubers probably can't justify using that much money on one specific vtuber.

What they could have done is spending the same budget on everyone and leave the customization to the talent (they spend their own money). If they allow that I bet Amelia or Kiara will go all out and spend big buck to make their avatar top notch.

the ozzie holo gals are... those accents are too distracting.

AFAIK Holo Server is on 1.17

Thats the last one iirc but apparently the update is not going to be a problem, the only thing from the beta snapshots was that now bedrocks are more deeper now so you can access the new caves with older version worlds

Is the thing i always say and use Kizuna ai as a comparison, you cant underestimate having the budget for 1 talent that doing it for 50

Imagine being an indie, barely scraping by and you get your golden ticket to join a corpo. Then all of a suddenly you have to dump a large chunk of money or have a very specific skillset by the time you debut or you're gonna get cucked by the rest of your genmates who had better connections or financial status(or they pull a Hitomi Chris and don't get caught).

Or someone in your group showing off a v1.6 model with 20 accessories and you're still on v1.0 because they're getting dozens of akasupas every stream because they provide GFE AMSR to the coomers.

It sucks that the girls can't just throw money at a problem to fix it but let's not pretend it wouldn't open a different can of worms if they could.

If she was truly proficient with COBOL, she could have a 6-figure salary keeping ancient mission-critical company mainframes chugging along (the core of IRS mainframes date back to the 60's/70's, for example). She might be passingly familiar, but since the old programmers of that crap have mostly retired, there is a very demanding market for old-school programmers.

But no, she's a VTuber instead. So she definitely ain't in it for the money.

I was thinking more of a situation where a lecturer described overall generational history of programming languages and the name stuck. Or it's possible she just heard the name somewhere - in the clip she only threw some terms without any rhyme or reason after all.

I assumed she was talking about languages she knew. I wasn't really paying attention to the clip but just throwing out the names of random programming languages when you go "oh, yes I know programming" is weird.

I also just wanted to use the phrase COBOL bitch because it sounded fun.

So in 2019-2020 i found a video about a vtuber commiting suicide after she killed her friend (posted on her channel) I dont know if it was real or some lore type story they were doing, i wanted to find the video again but i couldn't find any traces of her, could anyone else help me find info.
(From what I remember she has yellow hair)

Have you heard about IRyS' dislocated shoulder?

I'm the same way. I'd try to check out Vtubers here and there and was rarely really grabbed, but Irys has just made me really enjoy vtubing. I guess it's just the personality she displays that is kinda comforting in an odd way? To me it feels like she's just herself and trying to have fun.

Sakana is about what I expected - a rich Asian that decided to make his own vtuber company for entertainment, with little care for whether it loses money in the short term because what is a few ten thousand in the negative when you have millions in the bank and get a lot of fun in return.
Likely same story as Gyari, who made Voms because he didn't have any vtubers that he liked and thus decided to create his own favorites.
Just that the richer fishman can afford more vtubers, better rigs, and more generations, plus get folk from around the world instead of just his home country.

And fish if you're reading this pay them more salary you rich nigger, pippa needs a new place to live asap.

He knows that its going to be a 2-3 year investment and though even though he might be in the red now if the girls keep doing what they are doing, in a year or so the girls can have a somewhat stable source of income and he will make most of the money back.

Yep, "babiniku" is the operative word in their Youtube's About page. It's pretty specific and unmistakable, basically means "dude with a female avatar" or something along those lines.

Ah, makes sense. To be fair its a pretty good voice changer but you can still tell the audio is a bit muffled.

Never thought I'd enjoy watching Calli get pissed off at Pokemon name pronunciations quite this much.


Papa Pako has been great, he fell hard into the rabbit hole. He watches a ton of Sana of course, but I've seen him in Ina members-only streams too. I think it was the Back to the Future watchalong.
Kinda wonder how many memberships he has and how many streamers he watches.

This reminds me, Marine posted a member-only text post about a day ago, she's a little down and misses streaming. I hope this is the last time her health gets in the way for a long time. Personally I'm handling her absence by listening to Unison at least once a day.

Man---key or Mehn Key?

I miss Marine.

Does anyone else here often think about trying to be a vtuber (on the various companies and platforms?)
Do you guys think there is much of a profit or benefit in it at this point?
>inb4 it isnt about the profit etc.

I remember seeing a LIVE2D video back in 2015 or 16 with the standard twintail girl model doing the eye tracking on an iPad and thought it was the coolest shit ever but i never really knew how it worked or actually cared to learn to actually create a model in it. Fast forward to a year and a half ago when Hololive started blowing up. I don't really have much money on hand and im a mediocre artist at best but I really wanted to get into it. Do I think there is a space for me to get more than 10k followers? No, not really but I have found that personality-wise irl people like the dark humor and my pesimistic attitude towards everything. Not sure if that would translate well into V-tubing but hey, I might as well try it out. I already spend most of my time sitting at home playing games on the computer, might as well stream it to a few people for shits and giggles. Also helps that way more people learned how to work with the tools so the price to actually find a passable rigger without having to pay more than a week's worth of my salary. Earlier in the year I started working on a model which I later scrapped because I thought it looked way too similar to Fefe's. Started working on a new model about a month or two ago and Im nearly done with it.

I thought as much, I KNOW I have a winning personality but I very much lack in connections. I definitely could go for a tryout vid or 2 someday, just to get that effort out there, but then again who knows how long this online entertainment facet will last
Bonus question:
Do you guys think you'd make a decent vtuber if you made it to the big time?

This is hard to gaugue. I don't think i want to make it "big" time. I just want to see if I can get some revenue on the side if im sitting on my ass playing games on my free time.

Actually strike that. You don't have a vagina so you have less than nothing.
Starting on hard mode.

Yes but look at people like Esfand. I remember when he had like 15 viewers back in the WoW Private server days and he now seems to be doing pretty well for himself. People like Koefficient who would stream fighting games and thanks to Hololive they got popular enough that they can now stream as a full-time job. Its about setting real life expectations. If you start wanting to be super popular, chances are that you wont get there because you will get discouraged since its really hard to get an audience when you start out.

I wonder.
Is it because of the language barrier, Tenma's lack of humour or just a bit autistic

after explaining to her that it wasnt in bad faith and just a bit of fun at Sakana and simps, she deleted the tweet.
View attachment 2630981

Its a cultural and language barrier thing. I often find that the Japanese have a hard time understanding western humor, especially if it's not literal. I think Chris Broad mentioned something similar when asked about why he didn't use more Japanese in his videos and he said that it was because his personality and humor are of the sarcastic and cynical brit type and that shit doesn't really translate well.

She's as mentally unwell as trannies and has the same problem that NOTHING will ever make her happy. Nor does she have the self awareness to understand that maybe being a miserable bitch is why the other Myth members don't want to do shit with her.

Every time I start to kind of warm to Kiara she does this stupid, entitled shit that reminds me why I'm so put off by her.

Impostor syndrome added to the fact that she is a numberfag who will compare herself to everyone around her.

Kson has gotten the best-rigged, coolest L2D model I have ever seen. It's fucking marvelous.

Really good.

I can easily see $10,000 with the quality and the speed it get done (don't know if she contact Yaman in March when she decide to graduate for real, or only after she formally announce graduation on June 9th), but 100k is way too much. I do vaguely remember she talk about the cost once, but it's so long ago and on a random topic. I think she just said she spend a lot and don't give exact number.

100k does seem like way too much but she has a bunch of poses and animations (which usually cost a fair deal and barely ever get used). Im guessing that she also commissioned a bunch of people to make art and models and she eventually ended up selecting one. I can see the value of it going up to 20,000k on just one model. She's also high profile and the artists she used are also high profile.

 

[FlappyBat]

@Azchan, since I can't quote.

For the 100k number, I wonder if she mentioned that was the total amount she spent updating the kSon channel. Not just the model. Lamy spent 10k (not even counting what her model would have cost) before she even debuted, so I can see kSon spending 100k to get everything back up to speed quickly.

 

[masterstocking]

Senchou will return.

I believe, you all have heard about Ame's bizarre childhood story.
Have you heard about IRyS' dislocated shoulder?

IRyS and Amelia aren't allowed to do anything even remotely strenuous while they are in the same vicinity. Ever. People could die, or worse.

 

[Tatsunoko]

So after Selen talked shit about Blazing Sails on Twitter about nobody playing it and after the only 4 player group of Russians logged off they couldn't get into a game, they ended up joining a game with a dev after their Tournament match.

I know it's basically just a Sea of Thieves ripoff but they did make it seem pretty fun.
