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

I just realized this now after checking in Flare's stream couple of times now, and looking at her channel page, she's also pretty hot ngl. Haven't really paid attention to her until recently.

Nijifans are also their own breed of insanity and instead of loyalty to talent, have brand loyalty to the company. Which is completely opposite to Holofans both Global and JPN.
Interesting, I guess that's what quantity vs quality give at the end of the day. Having small talent number help intensify the parasocial relation between the talent and audience, while quantity make it feel more like a "sitcom", with the sheer amount of collabs happening, making them more loyal to the "show" rather than to the talents?
 
I can't fathom having enough time to seriously follow more than a handful of vtubers and also do anything else with your life, so mostly sticking to certain groups makes a fair amount of sense to me.
this. not to mention who the fuck actually sits through 4 hour long streams? i don't get it

Sort of, but Japanese are also just prone to brand loyalty is part of the problem, so outside of few super attached fans, most support the company than the talents. Hololive avoids this by oddly enough making jokes about their parent company through Yagoo and as you said, by appealing more to parasocial relationships.

Unrelated to this, Narukami has had his YT account terminated because apparently another vtuber drama channel on Nico (I got no name on them other then they're called The Buddha?) pointed out that Narukami breaks Copyright laws by using the direct footage/material from the source and also uses character art without permission. So he got reported and copyright terminated by YT bot.

I mean I only watch the streams of a handful of vtubers, but they're mostly in different agencies, you don't really need to know all facts and memes about a specific company or group to watch their shit, maybe only really some Holos that depend on that a bit?
At the end of the day there's no reason to force yourself to get into shit, if you stumble onto some vtuber of another group or agency and you find them entertaining or interesting then watch them, easy as that really
 
I think JPN Nijifans seem better simply due to a lack of spotlight, rather than any difference in values. Nijifans are also their own breed of insanity and instead of loyalty to talent, have brand loyalty to the company. Which is completely opposite to Holofans both Global and JPN.
You are absolutely correct. Now let's go back to endlessly talking about Hachaama lewds, Gura having to skip saving in games to avoid possibly doxxing herself and Ina's weird but endearing personal habits.

These are all okay topics, but busy watching a sheep play Minecraft. They goin' take backseat to this sheep.
 

Lulu second mario stream. Less progress this time since it's a shorter stream. Only managed to beat world 5 in about 4 hours. Made it to 6-4 but got a game over trying to figuring out the maze. She wrote down the routes she took the old school way and refuse to get help from the internet, even her chat. I can appreciate that.

Cute. I'll be using arigalunlun and annoy the fuck out of everyone I'm talking to from now on.

Imagine not sacrificing your work and sleep to watch vtuber. What are you doing with your life?

Etrian Odyssey turns making your own maps and notes into a gameplay element, so there's this. Yet I cannot remember any vtuber letsplaying handheld games.
Recording them sucks and all the best options are either hardware modification or emulators, both of which are super illegal in Japan. You're not seeing shit that ain't ported to a PS4/5 or a Switch.

The Holocaust happened because antis busted Mio for recording Ghost Trick and then mass reported her.

According to that dude who discovered the Mcdonalds DS training cart, the one man on the planet who performed DS capture modifications isn't doing it anymore, because it's not cost-effective and it's a dead platform. Plus there's the fact that for some reason nintendo wants us to pretend handhelds before the switch never happened. How cool would it be to have pikamee play Etrian Oddysey.
 
Nintendo has gone after the 3DS capture card dude in the past. They'd probably kill him if murder was legal. I think they also have the Gigaleak dude on a hit list.

DS emulators are a thing. But then you run into the issue of streaming an emulator.
 
Respect for watching Rene though, her popularity has jumped up a bit the last few weeks if I'm not wrong,
I’ve been pushing her in the thread a lot. I think she and the rest of Sugar Lyric do a lot of cool stuff that isn’t like the rest of the Vtubers out there. She’s also a great singer.

I follow most of them but just tend to bounce from stream to stream when I get bored of one. If something I really want to watch comes up, I’ll just bookmark it and watch it over the weekend.

i mean, on any given day, more than half of them could be playing Apex, Ark and Minecraft, none of which I really care about watching.
 
Moona's new house in progress. :lunacy:

Looks like a moon wand because of the water elevator pillar there.

Kanata finished her map face and plastered it almost everywhere like Botan did.

Not included before the clip is where she pasted her face on Botanx's rifle muzzleshe was putting her face on Botanx's crotch but changed her mind.

I know they're all Minecraft amateurs, but I'd love to see what kind of crazy shit the EN shitposters would create. Every time I see the JP server, it blows my mind what they've made. I mean the JP server does have quite the lead with how long its been around, but I feel like they're just more creative in general. Maybe EN will get there some day.
