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

As a true and honest Phasephag I wanted to say to all the Niggasanjis who replied back to me YOU FOOLS! DO YOU NOT KNOW THE "KNOW THY ENEMY, KNOW THYSELF AND YE SHALL ALWAYS PREVAIL"!?! WITH YOU FALLING INTO MY TRAP I CAN NOW ENSURE FISH PRIDE WORLD WIDE!
*imagine the Sakana_As_Jeb_Bush_Winning.tiff right here because I can't find it.*
Thank you for sharing, frens. I don't think I could ever jump ship at this point, nor find the time to understand all of their deep intricacies but I really do enjoy your guy's excitement.

I also wanted to point out that Lumi's clip of her watching and geeking out over the fall of Cadia cinematic from Battlefleet Gothic Armada 2 has gotten 25k views in 2 days.
Them's some bopping numbers for a 17 minute long video. It's funny considering that I don't think she knew anything about either Warhammer until maybe a month ago.

Could we not give attention to the thread retards?
But he's so retarded that he's funny and at this rate might get a Halal thread.

...Pippa does have a gun, right? And she understands proper grouping? And the phrase 'don't stop until you empty the magazine' is known to her? Pray for the yabbit, pray
Pippa has an entire zoo of animals in her house ready to come defend her, and besides this dude is probably 400 pounds and in a rascal. It will be like the time those cops shot some cripple in a wheelchair 9 times to prevent him from entering a Walmart.
 
Now that we're halfway through 6K pages, I wonder if we should ask for the OP to get edited with some roommates info. Just thinking it will reduce people asking around for them. Yes, I know the search function exist, but with how gigantic this thread is, it's kinda hard to use sometimes
Ask @samuraicrack.
Feels weird that no one here has talked about this clip
/pcg/ had a meltdown that lasted TEN THREADS
Be sure to post /vt/'s reactions in the following thread:
Archives of said tweet:
Nother Graduation from a randy indie vtuber that caught my eye, she had "a bunch of projects being worked on" but apparrently now canned due to her stopping activities,

under 10k but she seemed to have had a decent following and setup, wonder if she got poached for a company or just a regular graduation

So, which agency recruited her?

The algorithm has also been pushing this video of hers reacting to "Astartes". It's up 207k views in 10 days:


It's more evident in this video that she doesn't really know much about 40K just from her comments alone while watching, but 40K fans are just happy to see enthusiasm from a new fan.

I have a feeling the algo pushed this on my side due me being subbed to Shina and from my binging on Warhammer 40K TTS over the past couple of days.
 
The amount of recent graduations and hiatuses definitely feels like it implies some sort of a wave, but Holo, Niji, and Phase Connect have all had pretty recent gens, and I don't think they're stupid or ACCELERATE enough to put out a new one so soon, even with Holo's being the penishavers.

Also, hoping in advance that we don't reach a point where the thread just becomes a race to see who's the first to smack Nolan the moment he says a word. The thread was in dire need of a mascot ever since the SEA Niji schizo and his seven sockpuppets got banned, so I'm actually glad he's here stepping up to the plate. Just gonna try and say it one last time though, really consider changing your shit, dude. From the outside, people won't be pleased with you when they look you up and see you're part of "that one far-right dox forum that makes people kill themselves even though official data proves that's bullshit", while on the inside the fact nobody's made a halal thread on you yet is a fucking miracle.
 
Random comment, but there was an anon on /vt/ who'd visit the /NijiEN/ thread near daily pleading with anons to take meds. They stopped posting after this happened. A part of me hopes it was infact Pomu.

Likely Niji.

Niji's newest wave has a lunar phases theme. So we're likely getting some sort of "Eclipse" counter themed generation from the same March auditions around November. Looking at the lore (yes I know) for ILUNA is focused on them being misfit students. It's possible that the next wave could be a rival school or more senior class group (considering this gen is a bunch of zoomers)

LazuLight / OBSYDIA - "Light" and "Dark" themes, from the same audition wave.
Ethyria - This is the exception to the rule, as models got previewed in advance of the audition wave. The gimmick is "Heaven and Hell".
Luxiem / Noctyx - "Past" and "Future" themes, again from the same audition wave.
 
At least Vesper has some common sense. He mentioned he has a separate PC for holo-related activities only.

That's actually pretty smart.
If someone wants to do something similar, and you want to maintain one system, there's always the option of getting a separate drive and OS install going. Sure, your non-work/streaming drive is connected, but if you're feeling schizo about it, there are encryption methods to protect data (Bitlocker being the Windows OS-wide method iirc, but I'm a lazy man with no local protection). I haven't run separate Windows OS installs on a PC before, though, so I'm not quite sure of the growing pains involved there. Maybe an IT guy could chime in or just point in a direction for information resources about it.

i kinda wanna see how he lives to be able to have two pcs. a high end rig aint cheap and takes some space.

is it normal for streamers to have one pc just for streaming?

I'm also operating under the assumption that Nijisanji already have a Solar-themed seventh wave on the back burner. I think it's also possible that, because ILUNA are all soft and friendly designs with a song about comararderie, the seventh wave will have a general aesthetic of delinquent/Yankee characters.

Twitch streamers will sometimes have two going at the same time, with multiple monitors.

One that does the streaming itself so they can max out the CPU for the capture software and and ensure no game crashes knock it offline, whereas the other to actually play the games. That way if the game fucks up, they can just tab to a splash screen using a Streamdeck or whatever alternative and continue to engage with chat. Impressive but expensive.

If you are serious about streaming, yes. You'd be surprised how difficult it is (or was? Haven't kept up with hardware) to do a one PC game+stream setup. It's not to say impossible but your choices of games tend to be limited (to avoid overtaxing the rig) and often required good knowledge of streaming in general to even get a basic, no pixel stream going (settings, bitrate, etc etc). And this is for legit one PC setup built with the best available hardware, none of that insane "We have the power of 999,999 PCs in one case" bs. Of course, if you don't plan to game and stream but are just doing say.. chatting, podcast, review, IRL etc etc a single PC setup works fine.

Two PCs just means you no longer have to worry if your game BSOD that your entire stream also BSOD. Also gives alot more control like what Achors just mentioned. Makes troubleshooting also easier since if one device fails, you know its that device. Another upside is if you want to stream from something else (say console, at a diff venue, etc) you don't have to fuck around with your gaming rig and just bring your streaming PC.

I wouldn't say a two PC setup is insanely expensive. The last time I dabbled with live content media, you just had to make sure you have a competent GPU and CPU onboard. It's the gaming rig that often may or may not break bank.

EDIT:
Don't some people make do with a laptop? It seems manageable and he seems like a guy interested in technology so the only think that's unusual is he didn't talk about how he only has a windows account for vtubing and uses some linux fork for everything else.

Not really a powerlevel but I still have an old laptop I can use. It's not high end but it's really useful to have a backup in the event your screen breaks or hardware fails. If I streamed for a living I would 100% have 2 PC's ready to go rather than risk time off due to one of them getting fucked up, it's a work expense and even if it becomes outdated a PC will last you years. Kinda like how the penguin has 2 ISPs, which oddly enough I consider too autistic but I find her dedication endearing.
Yes, some people make do with a laptop (fine example of has just the right amount of juice to take in AV from the capture card, process it, stream it).

And thank you for pointing it out, these rigs often times CAN and WILL BE considered business expenses. If you can explain it to your accountant, they will accept it as a necessary business expense, to which then it falls on making sure the taxman understands that you do streaming AS A JOB and not some hobby (no claiming expenses on any income from a hobby, sorry moonlighters!), the taxman must begrudgingly accept it as a business expense. (something something, can claim the space you stream from as expense or something too, idr).

So, that can kinda soften the blow of getting a two PC setup sometimes.. but with its caveats ofc

EDIT2: Personal tick but I would also like to add that multiple monitors is such overkill. I can kinda get another monitor for chat, maybe another for your streaming software so you can keep an eye on all the technical stuff. But 9? Wtf are you doing? Some NSA-CIA-FBI-SEAL Team 6 shit? What? You got 9 pairs of eyes that can keep watch on all 9 monitors? And don't forget about even trying to find a way to rig that all up.

Petra from Niji streams and works from a laptop exclusively. She was once having intense lag during a Pokémon stream, assumed it was her Elgato. It was fixed the second she remembered to plug in her power cord.
