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

She could use her manager PC to run the Live2D software and get like a 700 bucks laptop for gaming, she has to fold someday
That's actually a really good alternative I didn't consider. She certainly has the means to make the financial compromises necessary. People really want to see her succeed and see more of her, and if she just keeps stamping her feet on potential solutions to her problems, it's just gonna squander the good will people have been showing to her lately.

*i think she believe the lockdowns and the corona panic is going to last that much
I haven't been keeping up with the fine details of travel news, but do Japan and Austria have some really tightfisted travel restrictions for the time being? I was thinking her stated wait time of 5 months had more to do with overseas delivery related complications than travel. But, then again, she really doesn't seem to have a lot of foresight for this sort of thing.
 
Is she back in Austria or Japan? Could she order a laptop off Amazon or something? I got the Pavillion 15 for a good price, maybe she should try it...

If i can run Doom 2016 in high with a 970 she can do it better with this

In a good week she can recover the investment and prevent more headaches
 
I thought Luna was only out for a couple days with a sore throat? I know her stream yesterday didn’t sound great but she said she was on the mend.

what’s up with Lamy?

At this point it feels like it is more stubbornness on her part than anything else, where ever she is she could pick up a new computer / laptop with the money she has received.

But hey, if she don't care about the experience for her viewers, welp, theres more streamers on the interweb.

Lamy got hit by the usual suspects when she and her fellow 5th mentioned something about janitors and the butthurts chinese went full fake news, clipped the part where they said they were joking and used it to annoy them, the other three are ok but she is not as strong as the lion or is used to it like polka

Also Akirose got the normal not chinese flu and is down too

I don't think any of them have gotten their first paycheck yet. So I can kind of get waiting until then.

It's really perplexing and a little frustrating at the same time because she does seem to care about her viewers' experience, but she's being too stubborn to solve her problems.

I hope FlappyBat's right that it's just a paycheck thing. Maybe once she gets her cut of the Superchats, she'll finally stop being retarded about the matter.

I do worry there is a little bit of learned helplessness coming out, which the pity superchats don't help. Things like shutting down a stream instead of pivoting to something else when tech issues come up or crying over some superchat saying it's annoying when she speaks Japanese.

I'm hoping it's just short term stress and adjusting to the new job.
 
I actually never heard about Calli's PC situation, which is weird considering Demondice has had a laptop since July.

Couldn't Kiara have just gone still image for the stream, then, if the Live2D software is such a hog? Watching and hearing her play is what's most important.
I don't consider a laptop a PC, and neither does she. She did say that she was ordering a new rig that would be in sometime this week and is moving out at the end of the month to a more spacious apartment that apparently has a side room she can use as a recording studio. The Canadian simp army made sure of that. While she hasn't divulged a ton of information about where she lives, it's not exactly the Ritz. Botan similarly lives in a run-down neighborhood (or at least she used to) but at least she has a background in PC architecture to know how to build a proper rig herself.

As for Kiara's situation, it might have been a problem with OBS and Minecraft running at the same time so a PNG wouldn't have worked either. When your computer has only 4gb of RAM there's fuckall you can do about it.

Column A and Column B. If the past drama is anything to go by (as well as the general mental fortitude of some of many of the members) it's that a lot of them went into vtubing with confidence issues already having taken their grip. The number of cases of imposter syndrome within the organization or just within online content creation as a whole is astounding and it really isn't anything to scoff at. I experience it as well in addition to a paralyzing phobia of hope but it's something they just have to deal with in their own way.

As far as "shutting down the stream," there really wasn't much she could pivot to with her manager's computer. She was originally planning a Nether RTA/marathon which would have been 6+ hours, but when that fell through she just decided on reading SC...and then the tech issues got to her and she needed to take a break. She did seem to be back to her old self when she joined Team Bitchin' Kitchen, but Kiara is definitely someone who is very hard on herself and unlike Calli who masks it by being a cynical sod and drinking heavily, wears her heart on her sleeve so it can become annoying to some and troubling to others.

The bit about the "it breaks the flow" for her to self-dub wasn't because of the SC person telling her about that, but because it was apparently something she had been getting a lot of shit for over Twitter or something and that one SC was the breaking point. Kanata was in a similar situation when she asked her audience to roast her and someone said she's riding on the coattails of her more charismatic genmates like Coco. Kanata just sounded defeated when she read that because that was also something she was getting shit for, and Coco tore that guy a new asshole when she spoke up on Kanata's behalf, basically addressing not just him but every single other person who had said that to Kanata.
 
Thanks kind stranger.

Is it only me or are really these 5 HoloEN girls attractive? I find them hot.
I don't really think it's all that weird. Even the plainer ones like Amelia or Ina are pretty good looking. Kiara definitely has them all beat even if it's only in makeup application.

I don't know why but seeing what Mori looked like actually kind of floored me. Not that she looks bad or anything but I didn't really imagine her as a blonde. I just thought of her as a brunette.
 
Fubuki did a chat stream earlier today that was apparently raided by the chinese. As far as I've been able to piece together, it is because of this tweet, which makes a reference to chewing on Coco's tail.

The stream has been reuploaded with the chat removed from it. Fubuki has recently tweeted, describing it as "a nightmare. Stream available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ta-ajhcaz7Q

If I'm reading this tweet correctly, it appears that she will be taking a break from streaming for a couple of days as a result of the chinese raid on her stream

I feel like rewarding Chinese A-logging is absolutely the wrong thing to do, but given Cover's track record with supporting their talents I can't blame them too much for ducking out.

Honestly if i had the way to do it, I would get into vchubing only to aggro the chinks and push the envelope as far as the rubberband can go, cause honestly I'm past half done with their bullshit.

Hoshikawa Sara is apparently taking a break from streaming due to joking about putting on extra stamps on her loyality card so she could get a free drink. She has appologised for the statements made via twitter.

Nijisanji's Official Statement:
Hoshikawa's Appology:

If this is true, it sounds like another vtuber being disproportionately punished for banter. I kinda like Hoshikawa so this annoys me. Though I might of misread the situation as I cannot speak Japanese and so I based understanding on twitter replys.

To expand on this, she currently has TWO computers of her own: A gaming PC she has overseas which she won't be able to get her hands on for "5 months" and her temp PC, which is what she was using to stream on until recently she moved, left it behind (for whatever reason?), and has since taken to using her manager's marginally better but still dogshit PC that can't even run Minecraft. She was intending to go for six hours of Minecraft but the game and most apps on her manager's PC crashed within an hour in, and then the game chugged like a motherfucker on relaunch so much so that she got depressed and killed the stream after less than another hour.

She also went on the record stating that she's not going to use all that Superchat money people were throwing at her to just build a better PC because she doesn't think the cost investment is worth it, told a story about how she's stuck in a "survivor budget" mindset because of how she's been living since she struck out on her own, and insists that "5 months will go by quickly" and that her overseas gaming PC will be way, way better and worth the wait time. Also, she said she doesn't even know the first thing about working on computers, so much so that she doesn't even know how to take the side panel off of a case.

Kiara admitted at the end of the disaster Minecraft stream that she knows diddle about computers. I suspect she may of tested it off-stream once without OBS and Live2D running and thought it should fine. As she was very baffled when she booted it on stream and it ran like molasses. She brought up the specs and some autists apparently said it was the CPU specifically that couldn't keep up like the borrowed computer.

Also of note, on the night the Hololive redditor simps were rolling in being like "OMG EVERY1 YOU GOTTA GO SUPPORT KIARA SHE CRYIN AND COVER NEED TO GET HER A PC : [[[" - which she's...trying to discourage, as other redditors are getting tired of her fans freaking out and making posts like that.

Overall HoloEN seems to prefer running their Live2D models whenever possible. Maybe it's mandated for them or something. But is kind of weird when a lot of Hololive JP does it with host only having model, and the rest being static images.

On the superchat thing - it seems the girls get paid via paycheques. I found a video from Coco's first month or so where she's playing a game but has no money to get food, She calls Fabuki who has enough to run for Mcdonald's breakfast and they muse on being poor for now. So the girls are likely not rolling in all that superchatto time money till management takes it's cut.

In comparison, Amelia did have an overheating pre-owned Switch for her Limbo playthru, which shut down a number of times. She handled it well - basically swapping to superchat time or taking questions while waiting for the system to cool and got a new System in time for her Clubhouse Games Collab with Ina and Mario Odyssey.
