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

It was mentioned before that Phase Connect is going to watch Postal in a few hours. Since The Room watchalong was nuked I hope someone here will archive it just in case. Would like to watch it live but I can't.

Hello, is there 911?

Local Colombian ghost leaved her playstation on for 10 hours just to wait for the memory card to arrive so she could save her silent hill game

The 'wah this is where Pyramid Head is from' upon entering the otherworld and 'this looks just like the movie' kill me a little inside but conversely makes me like the zoomer ghost more.

If there are any ara ara fans here, Fauna is doing 500 ara aras for her 500k celebration.

Fauna's 500 ara ara video reminds me of this masterpiece (timestamped to the "Risu moment" at 4:00 minutes).

How long you's think this will last before they give up? Would have thought Tik Tok would have been the better option for the zoomers.

HoloEn gave up fast, so i guess they will gave up faster? unless there is someone at management who cares.

Athos Capital is a private real estate firm that operates in NY and FL, and the majority of VC for vshojo.
GFR Funds is a Bay area venture capital firm managed by GREE VR Capital, the American affiliate of Japanese company GREE inc, focuses on digital entertainment, social media, advertising, video games and VC. Big funder of VR Chat.
Green Bay Ventures is another Bay area based venture capital firm that has funded Spotify, Dropbox, Lyft and a ton of other companies.

This is big money entering the western chuuba space.

From Investopedia:

Venture capital (VC) is a form of private equity and a type of financing that investors provide to startup companies and small businesses that are believed to have long-term growth potential. (...)

Though it can be risky for investors who put up funds, the potential for above-average returns is an attractive payoff. For new companies or ventures that have a limited operating history (under two years), venture capital is increasingly becoming a popular—even essential—source for raising money, especially if they lack access to capital markets, bank loans, or other debt instruments. The main downside is that the investors usually get equity in the company, and, thus, a say in company decisions.

So tl;dr they are taking the risk with vshojo because they saw the high amount of money the oil barons throw to the girls (ironmouse anyone?), so they may have a return in the future.

IRyS has a new song out:
https://twitter.com/irys_en/status/1509186566777831427

Could this be the delayed new years outfit?
The Project: HOPE logo is back, last seen on IRyS's previous single. As far as I'm aware, this is the only other time it's been seen anywhere else:

Speaking of that previous single, did you know that the artwork mistakenly omits a small part of IRyS's outfit, and that this has happened multiple times now?

Spoiler: IRyS design ramblings

For context, here's IRyS's left hand from her character sheet:

Looking at her outstretched hand here, I think you can tell what's missing:

It happened again with the art used for the holoexpo:
https://youtu.be/MMynD8MxeIE?t=3349(55:49)

This same error (although it's the other hand this time) is even present in the image used for her talent page on the hololive website:

I honestly have no idea how this one even happened considering this image is basically just taken directly from the character sheet:

Just to completely thorough, here's the actual live2d model:

Aw yes, the mandated Zentreya shorts where she makes this face and a laugh track plays. Peak comedy.

As if I needed another reason to hate YT shorts.

Forever, they already make clip compilations and highlights, just now they can double dip by releasing each part as a short and then including it in a compilation.

BUTTON's group of gamer friends are going play square-enix's latest disaster.

Stars and uproar don't necessarily want EOP support though. Stars at least have said before that they need domestic presence. Afterall, Western fans aren't going to fill a concert hall or get them sponsorships or buy out all their merch. If their management don't have data that proves the benefit, why would they bother to go out of their way to find a bilingual and pander halfheartedly to the west when they know StarsEN is coming?

Maybe they would use that to try a Coco and Haachaama where they can use them to funnel English viewers to the other side.

Flap Bat has a good point, come watch.

Calli is like 10 minutes into her stream and I missed the first 8 or so. Which means I also I missed the context, but she was explaining how she told someone about "Sonichu" and had a second bloodborne character they were playing the game together with off stream and named after it. I only just joined in time to hear how they didn't really know a lot about Sonichu or the origin, but Calli showed her some images on google and it was just "Haha American Culture" or something lol.

See what you've done, Pippa?
The Merge is expanding.....

You have a thing for bats?

 

[sashimi]

Doubtful. By all available accounts from Karen, she's borderline asexual because of all of the torment she got in high school. I forget what night it was, but she was streaming and talking about future Calli streaming plans. Talking about ASMR came up, and chat went kind of weird and was pushing her to do 'sultry/sexy' ASMR. And man oh man, she got so fucking uncomfortable. You could tell she was trying to politely sidestep it as much as possible, but I felt like she was almost getting a panic attack thinking/talking about it with how much chat wouldn't shut the fuck up and move on.

Tbf, she exaggerates her reactions to a lot of things. Like I doubt she had a literal panic attack when Gura was reading through Adam Sandler quotes, or from Ina's Mickey Mouse impression.

IRL is actually very close in appearance to the VTuber model.
