lmao the bird forgot to buy the game she was supposed to be streaming

Gimmicky 'test' of your own audience.
Guess many would fall for such novelty.
Someone would eventually do something like that, so I don't see why it couldn't be the zombo.

Risu did a full stream of just background keyboard typing noices, if that qualifies as something like that.

First trickstar and then a new outfit. The Rion sama hype train continues unabated.

She doesn't go immediately into the new outfit, but instead takes the time to go over all of her old one, mostly talks about the parts she likes and the parts she thinks her audiences would be into. It might be unconventional for those who want to see the new outfit right away, I'm impartial to either way. It a good reminder for those who had been long time viewers and help build the mood I suppose.

The twintails, ribbons and zettai ryouiki are just typical character elements. Her default outfit used to have a somewhat interesting contrast to Asuka Hina but you know what happened. The gown is simple and beautiful. Not much to say about that.


Starting with the maid outfit, you can see the gradual change in design philosophy since current technology allows for the mixes and matches approach, and newer outfits seems more crowded as a result. The glasses and the tail is her favorite part. And she said nyaa when she uses it. I guess this is a part of why I like Rion so much. She plays her character well.


Her halloween costume reminded everyone that Soul Reap is still a thing. I have to check her official character page for its name. I guess it doesn't feel as obstructive as it originally is because her gigantic hat also takes up most of the screen. Not my favorite outfit. Also it get rid of her breathing animation. Don't ask why I know.


Previous outfits doesn't stray too far from her original character concept, maids are magical too, shut up the next one takes it into a different directions. Of course I'm talking about DJ TAKAMIY. Why isn't she in project Denonbu? It even comes with a neon version. The glasses and even the screen on her shoe can emotes, unfortunately she doesn't utilize them much. Compares to Polka who changes her pupils symbol frequently for instance.


At this point she teases her viewers for being impatient otakus and "begrudgingly" changes into her new outfit. What a setup to drive the anticipation.


It's a gal! Thank you very much! The magical ojou evolved into an even more mythical creature, the otaku friendly gal. I wouldn't even complains if she only uses this outfit exclusively from now on. In fact, please do so.


Close up. The half twin tails really has a more fluffy feeling compares to the usual sharp looks. Also, that earring hit the spot. You can't have a gal without piercing. Whoever designed this knows what they're doing by revealed only one side too.


The magical items bag decorated with the soul reap strap is a nice touch, though I imagined it confused the hell out of viewers who doesn't know her magical backstory. The chibi stickers were cute, and I like how the books has a lot of annotations. Is she the studious gal archetype? While we're there, the larger and brightly colored ribbon really demanded a lot of attention. It's wore lower and looser than her original prim and proper white ribbon. Subtle characterization.


Full body shot. The white cardigan seems basic at first glance, but it provides a nice contrast with the red skirt. The zettai ryouiki got nerfed, but shortened skirt and socks are another gal archetype. And it honestly looks really good on her, all thing considered.


Generous enough to provide a close up shot of the skirt too. The checkered pattern and over sleeves are charming without being overly in your face. I'm on the fence about the emblem on her socks. What kind of school does that. Also, blink and you missed it, but she's wearing pink nails. Cute.


Ordering Otaku kun to buy yakisoba bread. I love how she sometimes just randomly decided to do these roleplay without prompt.


Some guy in the comment said "please bully me". Looks at how happy she is calling him disgusting, She also said that there's summer version of gal Takamiya, but wouldn't show it because the viewer would get more sick (in the head). Someone please confirm the validity of this claim.




Screenshot at gachikoi distance has now become a staple of outfit reveal and I'm glad for it. Seeing it close up really shows how natural her expression and eyes movements are. Kudos to whoever did the face tracking. Also, her model naturally leans right so she had some difficulties turning her head the other way. It's fucking hilarious to see her tries so hard just to turn left for screenshot.

From now on is the Otaku x Gal love comedy you've been waiting for. It's a must see if you're a fan of the gyaru character. Go check out the archive for the full version. This segment is so great it actually makes me want to learn video editing to spread her glory to those barbaric tribe who still using uncivilized languages such as English.

Perfect score across the board.

Oh my god that model is adorable.

If you can tolerate the shit mic/audio settings + Ironmouse-tier pitch-shifted shrillness, she's a genuinely entertaining streamer too. Nyanners has dumped her band of degenerates off with her several times and the ones that have stayed have behaved surprisingly well. She plays indie horror games, believe it or not.

Gacha not even once.

Imagine; you come back from work and you hear your weird neighbour screaming again, and you cannot understand if she is angry, sad, practicing metal vocals, or excited. All you can think is simply "Ah, she is screaming again".

I’m impressed the avatar was able to convey her conflicting emotions with that first rare pull there.

"Power tool review" has untapped vtuber potential.

What if I told you that not only does such a vtuber already exist, but that he has also been a vtuber longer than most major vtubing companies have even existed. Enter, Den of Tools. A true visionary in western vtubing.

Bless you for sharing this gem

 

[Endu]

Has anyone here filled out an application for Ame's clipping position? I sent one in for the hell of it but I don't expect much to happen. I bring to the table the ability to not add needlessly-whacky edits that some clippers insist on using.

 

[Uruk]

Also, sorry for making this a seperate post so soon after I had already made another post, but the subject matter is different enough to warrant this in my opinion.

Yuya Shin of Nijisanji Korea is going to graduate on June 14th due to her studies and various other reasons. She is the second most subscribed member of Nijisanji KR at almost 100,000 subscribers. With her graduating, it will leave Suha Min the last remaining member of Nijisanji Korea's first wave of debuts. Poor guy.

A certain compact streamer dealing with crippling debt has him beat by about two years.

 

[I am not here]

Gacha not even once.

Can confirm.. put myself into 3 months debt doing gacha chasing a PNG. Now I stick to 3 JP gacha games but I make sure my bank limits my monthly spenditure to max $100 a month, just enough to pay utilities, gas 2x for the month, and groceries. Can't spend on gacha if you don't have the funds to do so.

EDIT: but to add.. I can enjoy the screamo happiness that comes from Rushia. I can somehow relate lol

 

[Takodachi]

Dear lord, gacha addiction must be the most retarded thing ever.
At least gamblers have the excuse of a big, meaty jackpot which may set them for life, but gacha offers absolutely nothing. You get the same value from opening a browser and typing the name of your gacha waifu on the google image search bar.

So I promised last night so to the five people who care. Latest Kizuna AI concert review.

Nothing too surprising, Kizuna is Kizuna. Amazing dancing, singing etc. You can tell she trains as hard any IRL idol. Rigging is the best in the business, mouth and hand tracking etc. Camera work and background are what concerts in reality could only dream of. 10/10 for the first thirty minutes...

Once the guest DJ shows up they decide to do a camera change/zoom in or out on every beat for some reason. It's two minutes of nausea. Close your eyes and just listen.

Another guest shows up, Alaina Castillo. (no idea who she is prior) Her voice is pretty good, but the song does not match the tone of the concert, its about how dumb a guy is for breaking up with her. It has shit and fuck in it, which are all censored. She is very low energy, and it's a flat angle camera shot of a flesh woman on a virtual stage with none of the camerawork we saw in the first half. She sings a duet with Kizuna, where they have zero choreography. Bitch is still low energy. Ends with AIAIAI where she kinds of tries a bit to dance. Hard carry from Kizuna.

After party is Kizuna DJing again. Pretty damn enjoyable. If you missed it she did a DJ stream last week.

I'd recommend it still for the first thirty minutes and the afterparty, which were both on the torrent I got. I'd have paid for it but there is only a 24 hour window to watch the thing. Only next chance officially is the Blueray in 6 monthes.
First concert with Nyanners was better though IMO. So watch that first. Camera work wasn't as good, but content was better.

Edit: By not as good I don't mean bad. It was still really good. So check out that concert, or her first two hello world Concerts.

Rolling gacha just for waifu PNGs/models is retarded, inarguably.

Rolling gacha for gameplay meta is equally as bullshit, but at least there's some excuse of a purpose in doing so.

Hoo boi, supacha reading is gonna be fun if she reads the country out loud.

 

[Diya]

Leave it to the chicken to turn a great achievement some of her senpai have to work their ass off and still won't get it until next year of more into a numberfagging moment. You can clearly see she ego-search too much. Before she get into improving her stream quality, she probably need to fix that defeatist mindset. Seriously, doubting yourself because you're the last, because Ina got a boost from various event? Is she going to think Ina is 'lesser' than her if it's the Tako that reach big number last? Probably not. She's kind to other but harsh on herself, an imposter syndrome. Someone get her to sit on a raft with Coco for 2 hours, please.

"Oh no, I was the last one to hit 1 million... even though I've only been doing this for 8 months while co-workers who have been doing this for years arent even close to the mark"
Is she genuinely retarded? Is this what the idol industry does to you? Everytime I start to warm up to the chicken, she does shit like this. I can't stand neurotic women.
