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

All this talk about Gura makes me wonder how many members she actually has, especially after her stunt in holofes

I keep wondering that myself. Anytime I try opening the participants list during a members stream and see if there's any sort of number or the scroll bar size everything just seems to fucking die lol. Could never be assed to see if I can circumvent that. The only way I could imagine we can vaguely guess is based on being autistic as fuck and checking members posts/vods and seeing what averages out for likes/comments. Still not particularly useful or accurate.

Far as disliking other fans goes: My only real interaction with any is anyone else around here who chats about her a bit so couldn't tell ya. I could skim the fan discord I guess and see how quickly I feel either way, but I only joined for the stream notifications. Yes "DERR HERR FEET" gets old immediately but the chat is easily ignorable as a watcher. It amazingly has an option to close it entirely! And the video player can be resized to even typically push it off screen should you need it open for whyever.
Also not sure she's nearly as stressed out as that other fellow claimed, but it wouldn't be surprise me if membership stuff still actually does help her chill out, vent, and alleviate some stress. While she's not giving a bunch of "Oh hai Mark, you're my favorite customer" type shit the vibe is she's definitely chill and catches more stuff to back and forth a bit.

That said while I agree with not taking the typical baits, @Scuttle isn't exactly wrong at the same time. Considering just the last month has had what, 2 or 3 separate issues with art related shit happening? Give the giggle dragon bro her credit for being a bro lol.

As a tag on, I think she just didn't end up liking Elden Ring. Which is of course perfectly fine. She said during her last membership she actually really is enjoying Sekiro and was sort of afraid streaming it could affect that so she was undecided on if she wanted to risk that. Personally she should just play it herself and have the good time without any hassles.

Only other notes: Ghostwire seemed pretty alright, Selen made it seem fun. Can pet/feed doggos 10/10 game.
I'll also shill Pomu's MGS playthrough. It's been pretty good, but also possibly something to close chat over. Some of the backseating and commentary is not only obnoxious, but wrong half the time lol
Prep yourself for the ChillasArt game doing the rounds if that is/isn't your thing.

Apparently- Acapella Scaredy Birb singing as well

Also what the fuck. Why did this end up so long? I should implement a no posting when up too long rule. (Edited to be slightly less unsightly)
 
Like everything else @Scuttle says when he isn't in respectable Niji journalist mode.
Hey now, we all need our respite.

I appreciate such a legitimising title as 'Niji Journalist', but the reality is more like playing Gravekeeper for the rotting carcasses of /vt/ rrats that get dragged here without the oversight of a Mortician.

Sometimes it's fun to pretend to be a ghost.

"Ok, we've showed the outfit now pay up"

Nonetheless it's a pretty good tie in with the outfit i guess.
It's 16000 JPY.
Holyshit Cover, you already have the merch lined up?!

Selen's streaming Ghostwire Tokyo
Personally, interested to see how it plays since reviews are all over the place
Couldn't be arsed to sit through the full stream and went to bed right after. The aesthetic of the game was probably the most appealing part. The game itself? Not as interesting. Might catch up on the vod just for general weebery, but chances of that are slim.

Jeez, 50 cm tall? What does one do with all of that sheep?

Also, Zeta debut in ~40min
 
Didn't HoloX also rush their debuts? Announced 1 day. Debuted the next day and all of them the same day similar to how Nijisanji does it.
Their debut was the next day after the announcement, but they did sequential days and ID3 is doing the same. It's the ENs who do theirs all on the same day for some reason.

I do agree, but at the same time, there are 61 (?) members, not including the Stars. That's 18000$, a month. 216k$, a year, if every member had a membership for every other member. Which is a fairly large and weird expense when I'm sure most members probably won't actually get any use out of most of it. Like I'm sure Okayu would watch Gura member streams, if she doesn't already, but I doubt she gives two fuck about someone like Reine.

Watame did mention something just now that made me think there might be a way to circumvent the rule though. She said her manager was gifted her membership randomly. So theoretically other Hololive members could also just win the lottery and get gifted it, or even get it off-stream and just use the excuse of getting it gifted.
Didn't gift memberships have to be accepted or is that no longer the case? You would still have rrat-spinning when Holos show up as members to only some other Holos' channels, so management might crack down and say they're not allowed to accept gifted memberships if they still have to be accepted.

Apparently- Acapella Scaredy Birb singing as well
Public stream, members-only VOD - adding context in case something happens to your embed. At the end she told viewers to watch the ID3 debuts.

Also, hawk cover of "Owl-san" :story:

Watame is such a sweetie.

Hardly profound, I know, I'm so sorry, yet it's true.

This is my favourite old clip of her scoffing a packet of crisps in between streams instead of having dinner, naughty sheep:

 
Anyway, Mori is doing an unarchived Karaoke with MilkyQueen on Twitch. Currently fucking around with Crossing Field. Enjoy that and stop buying into the low-tier tribalism. Edit_3: Not directed at Scuttle either, everyone is getting a bit much lately.
All this collab & attention that Milky's been getting from her Calli collabs seem like such a waste given that she's sharing a YT channel with two other idol JP chuubas. Seems like this solo Twitch channel of hers is relatively new. She should just hurry up and apply to Holo already.

EDIT:

The new HoloID girl Vestia is debuting:
