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

She's from Calgary, if you really wanted to dig you can even find her old hiking Trail data, kind of creepy but you can find it.
Yea, I figured as much. Her talking about blizzards and snowstorms ruled out the Vancouver metro area, and nobody voluntarily lives in Edmonton. Calgary's a nice city - #2 in Canada IMO behind Vancouver (personal bias) and ahead of Montreal.
 
While I do like to know about the women behind the curtain I don't really like to go that deep, the most curious I get is about what they look like since I have this autistic fascination with matching people and their voices lol!
I have that Curiosity as well ,
and I'm always blown away by how not ugly these people are, except for Veibae .
 
Yeah, I remember someone playing it and the cringe was pretty high. All PC language and other shit.

Felt like Life is Strange on mega steroids.
I felt like punching the blue haired bitch in that game after seeing a single scene with her, can't even imagine how shit this retarded other game must be.

Well, most of them are young women in their 20's, it's pretty hard to look ugly at that age unless you're either born ugly or a massive fuckup who treats it's own body like a latrine, like by doing drugs, drinking and smoking heavily and eating like fucking Garfield.

While it is possible for younger women to look decades older if they do any of the above, they're usually going to be fine well into their 30's if they take care of themselves. Tako herself isn't no smoking hot beauty but she's pretty cute!
 
Since someone brought up Aloe again while talking about Roa and Meiro, I am trying to find an alternate link to that twitcast talking about Chitose's graduation she did on her personal Twitter account, as the site I went to that had a link to it (https://vtamainfo.com/) has been suffering from some sort of database error and thus inaccessible since a week or two after NIJIEN debut. Anyone have a mirror for said twitcast?
 
I would like a cute dancing Nene for the backgrounds of every Suichan Karaoke.
some youtube comment put it perfectly: it's not that nene's 3d was delayed because it wasn't ready, it was delayed because we were not ready for nene in 3d!

Well, correlation isn't causation. It is depressive behaviour, but it's also been widely speculated that Choco actually works in the medical field.

With the big cities of Japan constantly locking down because of how close proximity everyone is out in public and passing around the coof, it's equally as reasonable to believe that wherever she works is busy and she's working a lot leading to pretty rough exhaustion.

It's also possible that her sleeping for 2 days was a bit. Mio asking the same questions to half-asleep friends wasn't exactly the pinnacle of entertaining content.
more sleep isn't depressive if it's just for a short while and in exchange for other activities, if you only sleep 3 hours a day at some point you either take a break to recuperate or keel over. same as sleeping during the day, it doesn't necessarily mean she sleeps at night too (not every job is 9-5), and some people can handle it better or even prefer it. there are people who only sleep 2x 2-4 hours because it gives them more hours being awake without fucking over their health.

Since she's Korean-Canadian that means she most likely lives in the Toronto or Vancouver metro areas, right? Shit, I knew the housing market over there was bad but not to that point. In Europe the only countries where people in their late 20s are still living with their parents are in Southern Europe because there are no jobs or they pay like crap lol. I thought Canada had low unemployment and plenty of space to build in.
middle and northern europe too (for the most part), the problem isn't the pay alone but that prices have exploded. then you have zoning where you can built or only certain types (and no one wants to live in or near soviet style concrete blocks), which is also expensive due to demand, and doesn't fix anything either.

it's pretty much fucked right now, and it's a systemic issue and not some chink investors buying it up and let it sit empty, which means you can't fix it over night. even if governments suddenly declare they gonna build blocks of houses to make it affordable, who's gonna build them asf?

but millennials and following gens staying at home longer has been going for a while, tbh I'd be surprised if she didn't still live with her parents (or alternatively with her boyfriend, most women don't live alone for long in my experience).
 
Yeah, this was my thought too. Doesn't she almost die just doing ring fit shit?
Hiking trails from her bedroom to the kitchen? Hard to imagine her being able to handle going much further.
Going from the pics she's not fat or shows any mobility issues, just sedentary, so getting off to do some exercise isn't really an issue of limits but rather, willpower and motivation.
 
This is that cringe game with a Troon isn't it?


Hard pass from me Pikamee. I think she is playing it cause it is free right now on Steam.

EDIT: LOL in the description for this game. "Storytelling with purpose – DONTNOD Entertainment and Xbox Game Studios conducted on-the-ground research and partnered closely with cultural, mental health and gender advocates to craft a thoughtful, true-to-life experience."

Hard, hard fuckin pass.
why do you think it's free?

more concerned how experienced the kettle is with western media, when nene takes icarly and hanna montana seriously it's cute, but pika possibly talking about trans rights not so much.

can you be even fat with korean genes? I expect the few fat koreans that exist have ingested so many calories it would make an ameriburger explode.

I just found this video of Aki singing a song in her native Elvish.

Why isn't this woman the most popular Vtuber yet?

Is it just because there are no memes or flanderization about her?
I feel like many of the older ones (Gen1 and Gen2) are not that well known either or popular (sure there are exceptions). Hololive started to get really popular on Gen 3. Maybe people just want to play with the shiny new thing instead of the used old one. Also the newer generations feel more open to doing collabs so you have more interesting interactions and clippable moments.

Aki has had an unbelievable amount of bad luck. Shortly after debut she had to go into hospital for a long time for surgery. When she came back she was far behind everyone else and didn't have any friendships with anyone there.
When she looked for advice on how to catch up a little with the others, she was told to play trending meme games, something she really didnt enjoy and made her very unhappy.
She finally carved out a niche for herself doing ASMR streams but then got demonetized and deranked in the algorithm when youtube cracked down on mildly lewd content.
Her newer original song was uploaded on a day where youtube was having technical problems and seems to have been completely omitted from recommendations, even people who watch all her content dont get it recommended
Also the day of her birthday (this year) youtube was having issues and people couldn't watch the stream. Poor girl has a black cloud over their head.

the main reason why Aki is more popular now is because a madlad translated a clip where she speaks her heart out, and as you know, the western fans are suckers for underdog stories.
Not that Aki does not deserve the attention, I love her calming voice, but without that one moment being clipped I dont think she woulda grown so much so fast.
That clip is basically the only thing that made me check her out. Before that, I didn't even know she existed.

Imagine Coco pass the baton of Reddit shitpost reviewer to Kiara on the final meme review
I expect her to do so. I don't really like the shitpost reviews that much since Coco spends way too much time explaining shit but i guess thats the main reason for the show to exist. Out of all of the members, Kirara is probably the one that is most suited to bridge the EN-JP gap. She can also explain shit in both languages (Holotalk).

Towa has quietly been a Dark Horse this year.

She participated in 11 collaborations during the first 14 days of January, including Meme Review and hosting the MK8 Tournament for everyone else. She introduced Among Us to the company last year, and garnered a lot of respect from the JP viewership as a result of her hosting competency, and her last few costumes have been a smash hit.

Beyond that, her Minecraft streams have had a surge in viewers ever since she joined UsaKen (because of course she has), and she's constantly bringing in new types of fans from her APEX collabs. Most notably, she had a decent surge of Korean fans after playing with Selly and Bora.

She's someone who is currently in the middle of riding her own wave.
Towa probably learned that collabs are the way to get her numbers up. She used to be lagging behind at the start of the year good to see her slowly getting up to speed.
 
Edit: she also just confirmed that she is going to stream on Youtube instead of Mildom
I don't know what you heard, but she said YouTube sucks and Mildom is a lot better, especially if there are problems.
I wonder if there's something in the Hololive contract that says she can't stream on YouTube as a vtuber so she's streaming as one on Milfdom.
She used her model on YouTube after joining Hololive, so there's no such rule. She also hasn't used the model on Mildom for a long time, so it wasn't about the platform.

all these pop ups just remind me of shovelware game on phones that just spam your eyeballs with popups and ads
They're really annoying, but you can turn them off quite easily. Mildom also recently updated the site putting English language.

Kson is online playing.... a Puzzle game
No idea if streaming them is any good, however. May just be some of the stuff she can actually stream due to licensing and shit!
She already streamed this game twice before today. It's good content because fans can join too and help her, and the game is free.

I mean as a severance agreement thing.
 
middle and northern europe too (for the most part), the problem isn't the pay alone but that prices have exploded. then you have zoning where you can built or only certain types (and no one wants to live in or near soviet style concrete blocks), which is also expensive due to demand, and doesn't fix anything either.

I'm sure every country has its issues, but the data clearly shows that Southern and Eastern Europeans are downright fucked in that regard compared with Central and Northern ones.

Map-1596623900947_.png

None of us will buy a house on 5 years of salary like our parents did, but at least in the richest countries there's a healthy job market and/or enough government aid to afford living on your own. And the funniest thing is that in 40 years when all the boomers are dead we won't know what to do with all that available housing.

You guys are forgetting the cultural aspect to this: Asian cultures don't really have this "kick out your kids when they turn 18" mentality. If anything, Asian household would have multiple generations living in a single household to help each other with living expenses and build wealth. I think certain Southern European cultures also have something similar.

In another news, Marine is a glass canon confirmed. Coco doesn't give a fuck anymore, or maybe she never did, but she's going scorched earth.
