Watching streamers (virtual or otherwise) struggle with games and eventually overcome them is a huge part of the appeal for a lot of people. Gura seemed worried by that back during her first stream as well. Somebody needs to tell these girls it's okay to suck at games.

wrt HoloEN Minecraft server: I'm pretty sure Kiara set it up, because she talked about all this beforehand in her first two MC streams (which were local). Gura just happened to be the first one to visit the server once it was made.
The summary of it is that they (or at least she) want to have their own server because JP is already pretty crowded, but they'll be visiting JP anyways because, you know, collabs and stuff.
IIRC it's a Minecraft Realm so latency is probably fine.

It being a minecraft realm would actually change quite a bit about how the game functions, including making it not possible to link to the JP or resource servers.

Good news would be that realms are much more stable than java.

I am not entirely sure, mind you.

From how she phrased it, it sounded like she rented it using her own money (or at least getting help from her music producer friends). I also think her situation is different from the other girls, she came right out of the gate with 3 of her own songs. I don't know anything about her past life, but sounded like she knew her way around performing/creating music.

I hate doing the hint hint imply imply bullshit but tldr yes she has music production experience. If you wish to know more you can PM.

Does anyone know how payouts work in Hololive? I'm assuming the performers get a percentage of superchat and membership revenue.

Main issue here is that Youtube pays on the 21st of the month after monetization starts. So Cover (and therefore the talent) won't see money for 9 more days.

So I think I mentioned earlier my nephews friend stumbled onto Gura, and it's very interesting to see him get more into it. He currently loves all the HoloEN girls, and has recently started asking me to talk about some of the JP talent as well after seeing "the really weird rabbit" as well as "the gay dog and her cat girlfriend". Unfortunately, while trying to explain what makes Marine cool, I discovered I could not do this, as he is my nephews friend.

I opted to show him some Korone and Pikamee as they're mostly family friendly, which makes it less awkward. He asked me to show him even more next time I see him, and I'm not entirely sure what else to do from here. Anyone have advice?

Fubuki is prolly a good pick. Also if he watches Kiara I doubt Marine is much worse. :v:

Seriously, these are adult professionals, not teenagers locked into yakuza-backed idol contracts. Stop with this paternalistic bullshit.

Strictly speaking they just reused the remake's animated Rin avatar (you can see it in use later on) and had it cycle through her expressions while syncing the mouth to her voice's sound (you can tell because it's slightly laggy and fairly janky). There's no mocap involved, so it's not quite a real vtuber.

3 are basically North American, one is probably a North American in Japan teaching English as a side gig and the last is most likely of Japanese descent and currently lives in Japan, but grew up in Europe? Long story short their streams are generally catered to English viewers, but, knowing that the majority of the fanbase is aware of the main JP branch, so there is some crossover from time to time.

Kiara is austrian and taught herself japanese and went to work and live in japan out of massive, massive weebery. Her first language is german.

Btw Kiara's having another JP collab this friday.

As someone who's only really gotten into this whole scene thanks to the EN generation, they seem incredibly tight-knit too. Is it normal for gens to have this many cross collabs each week, and whole group collaborations with so much regularity?

As the others said, it took them a bit to find their stride together. And that's probably why they got the 1-month moratorium. It basically forces them to stick together and learn each other, instead of taking refuge in someone from another group they happened to vibe with.

Also for Kiara at least I feel that pep talk Marine gave her did wonders to her. There was a noticeable increase in confidence after that.

I've been looking through Urban dictionary for like half an hour now and I still have no idea what poggers is.
A modification of PogChamp, which is that twitch emote that gets spammed when something cool or hype happens. It's one of the staples of twitch chat culture.

quote:

The PogChamp emote shows streamer Ryan Gutierrez, known as Gootecks, making an exaggeratedly surprised face, his mouth open and eyes wide. The image is pulled from an outtake from Gutierrez’s YouTube series (with fellow gamer Mike Ross) Counter Cross TV. The outtake, uploaded in November 2010, includes Gutierrez’s surprised reaction to a cameraman bumping his tripod.

wrt why it's called pogchamp:

quote:

The name PogChamp comes from another video, uploaded in 2011, featuring Gutierrez and Ross. In a promo video, called “Pogs Championship,” for a MadCatz-brand joystick, the two play Pogs, the disk-flipping game popular in the 1990s. In the end, Gutierrez wins by dropping the joystick on the stack of Pogs, becoming the Pog champion.

It was added to twitch in 2012.
It's actually got nothing to do with play of game, or overwatch for that matter. Pogchamp predates Overwatch by 4 years.

I like all the EN 'tubers, but Kiara seems, I dunno, the least "developed" as a character. All the rest have grown into multidimensional personalities (sometimes eroding their original kayfabe, but to their overall benefit) and Kiara is still the goofy birdbrain type she always was. Fun to watch but not a standout.

I do enjoy that she's slowly becoming EN's ambassador to the JP crowd, though. They really need that.

Stick around to her superchat readings.

Tabletop's idea was stupid, creepy and ultimately harmless because ironically all he'd find out was information that they'd already given out. Still, what the gently caress.

It also had nothing to do with the rule change.
Some people here get off on the smallest little thing and somehow treat light discussion of someone's past professional life the same as revealing their street name and address. One's country of residence is not sensitive information. It's something they talk about themselves!

Namtab posted:

I remain strongly of the opinion that the best way to manage the creepiness/doxx factor is just to blanket ban any discussion of who a vtuber was before they were that particular vtuber, including former internet personas. Theres a reason they mostly scrubbed their former net presences after all.
Noel has repeatedly broken her own kayfabe in her other channel. Coco has hosed up too.
Matsuri is still active and has no intention of stopping. So are Kiara and Ina.
Gura gave a shoutout to herself in her first stream. Pretty sure Polka did too.
gently caress, Twitter and Youtube sometimes do it on their own, because algorithms.

They delete previous content because that's part of the Cover agreement but many of them still do their own stuff and if they accidentally reveal something they shrug go "oops, plz don't spread" and let it go. It's a gentleman's agreement, not a legally binding contract. It's no different from Rule 4: "don't speak about other streamers in chat". It's a politeness thing, they aren't going to get doxxed to death just because someone finds their old content.

Yes, sometimes this leads to actual yabai, if they weren't careful with the information they gave out back in the day, like it happened to Ame, and that's very unfortunate. But it's still ridiculous to assume that as the normal. Especially because it's not like it matters for the rules here, people here are (mostly) well-adjusted enough to not go deep-doxxing. Those that do will go post it on 4chan, anyways.

As an aside, I do apologize for starting another round of bs when I wanted to promote Nerines some pages ago, I copypasted the post I used in a place with laxer rules and I wanted to drum up some interest without going HEY GUYS VALKYRIEAURORA IS STREAMING AGAIN and I fell to the same bs I myself hate so much.
