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

[Todd's Mistake]

Sounds like the words of someone who hasn't had their messages read/acknowledged ~3 times in the past week by a HoloEN talent, but I wouldn't know what it's like to be a person like that.

Edit: Seriously, it’s not impossible to get noticed or have your jokes laughed at, though different people have different levels of how much they read/interact with chat.

There is a bit of psychology to how best to be 'seen', but it also helps to just be there a lot. More than anything I think being a regular for close to 2 years helps. Grey or not, regular appearances are going to be noticed more easily over time. I can spot Nolan in chat without looking for him because my brain registers his name without having to look for it as unfortunate as that is.

for those not watching Airi's zatzu:

Airi gets into a car accident once a year on average.
Her first accident resulted in her car going under the truck in front of her, totalled.
Airi only found out about the birds and the bees in high school because she didn't pay attention in junior high health class.
Chat made Airi think Uruka is pregnant, causing her to reach out live on stream.
Uruka told Airi to look up the MLP jar on stream, it claims another victim and Airi is speechless.

Women drivers, no survivors.

Millie seems to be better and is playing more Cult of the Lamb, not that Youtube would reliably let you know because its notification system is a pile of shit. Two people dropped 100 subs a piece on her; I still laugh every time I see her membership tiers:

Never change crazy Filipino woman.

 

[Zeke Von Genbu]

Can't wait for 3 hours of sleep Axel to translate across two different languages back and forth.

Maybe blue boy Altare can help with his impressive Japanese knowledge? The "Me too!" from Axel in this clip makes this flub even more perfect.

 

[A Lurking Dumbass]

yeah, with the HoloEN chats you're basically just yelling into the void, especially if you're a non-member

Its like this for all VTuber's chats with at least 1-2k people. Part of the appeal of smaller corpos and indies is that they can actually *see* your chats and make it feel personal.

I'm actually more excited about the homos visiting the homo jp server since that will probably be less predictable and have really funny moments and reactions.

The absolute state of hololive, where people are now looking forward to M E N rather than women

The thing that really caught me off guard in all of this is she said her job doesn't reimburse her for mileage despite the fact she drives 100+ miles some days in her personal vehicle. Based on everything we figure she's in California. And it's mandated by California law that not only do employers have to pay it, it's impossible to waive that clause of the law. So Airi may have tens of thousands of dollars in unpaid mileage she's owed by her company.

Making gifs is such a fucking pain, why the fuck do I do this? I see a cute moment and I'm like "Oh, this would make a nice gif, I'll just whip one up real quick" like a total fucking moran, and then it's painstakingly adjusting the loop and the aspect ratio for hours and it's STILL too big and it STILL looks like shit!

 

[EliteDoragon]

The JP-Tempus collab is already full chaos.

Rio is the one thats a female playing a male right?

 

[Site User 11]

lmao
multiple people: miyabi made this
immediately after
dez: ah, aruran made this

I thought they didn’t allow trans people in HoloLive and by extension Holostars

Their was some controversy during Uproar's debut about Rio being a female pretending to be male because of their voice, Oga iirc claimed that wasn't true and it was just how his voice was. To my knowledge their isn't anything about Rio being trans. Rio at worst is a woman playing a male so they can convincingly play a trap/femboy by having a soft feminine voice, like how Tamaki is a trap played by a female.

Ok this mouth tech is pretty impressive.

 

[2DUM4U]

Ok this mouth tech is pretty impressive.

Honestly I still haven't seen mouth tracking as good as Saruei's (timestamped to 55:58 )

I'm aware there's some drama with her, but I don't know the details. Like she was rude to some art contest entrants or something? Whatever, this isn't about that, it's about the face tracking.

Everywhere I go... I see his face name...

Well would you look at that, Regis and Axel's POVs have all four Tempus models moving, instead of just their own one model and static images for the rest of the collab partners.
Maybe my mind's blanking, but it feels like it's been a while since I've seen multiple Live2D on stream.

Mouth does look pretty good. Distracts from the chroma-key mistake on the tie, lol.

Pretty much all of the non-Apex Tempus collabs have multiple Live2D models running.

 

[Gondola Enjoyer]

Pretty much all of the non-Apex Tempus collabs have multiple Live2D models running.

OK listen, Apex is pretty good looking for a 2016 indie game, it's only understandable that it dicks on modern hardware bad enough to make them unable to run Live2D and stream at the same time! Have some understanding for Respawn Entertainment, they're a small indie company.

Being honest, it's even funnier how bad that game runs when you consider how well Titanfall 2 ran, and how it's all on source, which offers pretty much unparalleled customization and scalability depending on hardware, yet that game will run like shit no matter what you do.
