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

Kiara casually mentioning in her Mario Kart stream earlier that she has tentative plans to visit the US at some point this year. Playfully bantered with chat about potential places to visit and says she would prefer cities on the coast as it would afford her the opportunity to visit the beach as well and that a city-setting would be preferable as it would be better for ease of commute as she would primarily have to get around via Uber & public transport.

Honestly, if coastal cities with decent extensive public transport is a key metric for her, I'm struggling to think of anything beyond NYC and Boston.
If anything maybe the HoloEN crew can just go to Hawaii (birthplace of IRyS). Hawaiians are chill and the chicken can have a lot of opportunities to do the hula dance and photo ops for her personal account as well.
 
more specifically LA or San Francisco.
Main issue with LA is really the public transport part. It doesn't have an extensive metro/subway system like either NYC or Boston and some of the better beaches is going to be in San Diego - around a 3-hour car drive away from LA. Not really sure how palatable that is to most Europeans who often struggle conceptualizing how massive the US is and the distance between places are even intra-state.

Funny enough, she mentioned she doesn't want to go to Hawaii (yet) as she thinks it doesn't fit her image of what an American city would look like. This being her first trip to the US, she wants to go to your stereotypical "American" cities like NYC, LA, Chicago, etc.

mainland US is dogshit.

New Englanders: Speak for yourselves, peasants.

Would probably need someone to drive or lots of $$$ for Uber, because depending on which island(s) you visit, public transit is on a tier lower than the mainland US or practically non-existent.
 
  • Agree
Reactions: You're an idiot
Florida or just the southeast in general can offer up some good beaches as well, although if she's looking for somewhere with good public transit...... she's kind of just shit out of luck in the US, at least compared to European or Japanese standards we don't have shit for public transit outside of places like New York or Boston on the coasts.

Kiara's gonna visit Florida to get Gura to act as an autistic tour guide for Magic Kingdom and then wrestle gators with her

I thought florida was universally considered a shithole, but I can understand she might not think that's true. Also, I'd make more sense as it's closer to her timezone, so she wouldn't have to move her streaming hours that much.

Can't one of them rent a car? Granted that's not cheap either, but they're all loaded.

To be fair, we know what happened last time Calli responded to a fanart.

But yeah, talking to fans isn't unprofessional in and of itself and it's kind of cool to just see them bantering with people. You can still be a professional streamer without having to act like you're too good to have a laugh with some plebs.
There is a reason why Gura doesnt engage on twitter too much, and its not because she thinks shes special or too good, its because she knows the risks of being way too much on social media, so she plays in very safe mode, which worked wonders for her. She even stated many times on stream she just doesnt like to be too much there to avoid the negative things we all know.
 
Something I haven’t seen anyone bring up that I love is the “claws” in Kobo Kanaeru’s hair are an awesome homage to the threatening claws in Hokusai’s The Great Wave off Kanagawa:

Florida just has memes, the cities and tourist spots are fine for tourists. places like Miami are still big vacation destinations for a reason. It's just among young people memees are better known than travel information lol.

I wouldn't LIVE in florida but I'd go there for a week on vacation easily.

Florida can be a great tourist destination, but it hugely depends on the area. Something like Key West offers a ton of history, food, beaches, etc. and is generally considered a nice place to stay. Miami and Orlando are obviously the bigger names for your typical city or theme park experience, though I don't know how friendly they would be to foreigners who haven't experienced other parts of the US.

The general rule of thumb is that the further north you go in Florida, the more southern it becomes, so north Florida is where you step into "crazed inbred redneck with bath salts injected into his eyeballs 'rassled a gator into submission using only a coat hanger and a used condom" territory.

This is all propaganda. The entire state of Florida has a stockpile of bath salts we are required to snort every morning and we file our teeth for quick and easy tourist face munching.
 
I know streaming/vtubing is probably not quite as stringent as a regular job, but isn't drinking affecting your job one of those "signs". Having to cancel an already announced stream due to getting too sloshed seems like a bad look, but just another day for Calli.

Also, Myth is getting close to their 2 year anniversary right? If I remember, the initial contracts from hololive are 2 years. I wonder how much Calli's streaming will drop off once she isn't required to stream 3x a week.

I'm still waiting for the group of retards who keep barking at IRyS' design being "too complicated" or "too dissimilar to other gens" to bemoan the CSShaman.

Considerably since she struggles to keep up both DD and Calli.
