I apologize for my cynicism here. Y'all have way more faith in this industry than I do, I guess. We see huge idol talent companies and big tech companies do whatever it takes to maximize their bottom line. Maybe Cover is the exception to the rule here. Maybe they don't really care about money or whatever. I just don't buy it. I'll support the talents as long as they're around, because they're fun and good, but I'm gonna look at Cover the same way I look at any of these other corporations. I have seen far too many people say that Vtubers are a bubble, and I guarantee there's gonna be people wanting to cash out before it bursts, whether or not that actually happens. Like, I don't *want* any of this to happen in the same way that I don't want game development studios to have crunch and employee abuse from their powers that be. Money fucks with people all the time, and the people with its hands on Cover are not magically immune to it because we like the dog girl that goes wow wow.

Yeah, I think I might need to up my meds. :(

It makes no sense to retire the equivalent of actors/voice actors when you get more money from the billing of their character. Cover gets way more money getting a sponsorship deal saying they have a 3 million subscriber idol that averages 20k viewers than they would from 30% cut of superchats in a retirement stream for Gura.

Maybe think things through a bit more clearly before the 10th doomer take you've made in the Vtuber thread.

Man that sucks, sorry to hear, was wondering where she was last night.

No rush obviously, I'll be looking for her whenever she's ready to stream again. I expect to call in sick for at least a week when my old cat goes the way of the rainbow bridge.

watching wonderful101 with Ina makes me remember how loving great actual cheat codes in games used to be when you just wanted to have fun

probably why I shifted almost entirely over to PC gaming as I got older since mods and cheat engine are the only way to experience that with modern games.

I don't think Hololive opened auditions for a 6th Gen in Japan. To my knowledge they've only opened a spot looking for a singer and EN2. And if Gura's birthday stream was any indication Holomyth were all selected and started interacting with each other in June before their debut in September. EN2 would probably be practicing back stage at this point if they're debuting in July/August.

Fun fact, JP auditions for Hololive are always open, as opposed to ID/EN which have audition periods. So it's entirely possible that JP6 is just waiting in the wings to be given a debut date.

I’m kinda sad with the current wave of Vshojo merch because I think I’m past the point in my life where I can get away with wearing an anime girl in a bikini on a t-shirt.

So I’m probably buying the Melody shirt anyway.

If Ollie is actually good at chess it's a goddamn crime she hasn't done a collab with someone from HoloEN and just absolutely crushed them while pretending she has no idea what she's doing.

Platinum's favorite method of teaching you how to do new techniques is forcing you to buy them from the shop, where the beginner player might decide not to take the recommended item and frustrate themselves. It's great.
