There would be a knife fight over who gets to be King George, and it would extend beyond Hololive.

Here's some musings on Coco's graduation by a Japanese youtuber with 1.5 million subs that also has a separate vtubing channel. It's hard to overstate the impact Coco had on the English vtubing community, but it's interesting to get some perspective from the Japanese side of things as well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hySFaqFkIeY

I see some commentary that this guy is basically the Japanese Markiplier, so if anyone has an idea of what streaming is like and some of its pitfalls, it's probably going to be this fellow. He brings up some interesting points as well, and it's probably the thing that has me wondering the most.

Can Coco's actress make lightning strike twice?

I kinda wonder which Indys who churn just under the surface have quietly begun to spin down their original accounts in preparation for spinning up a Hololive account in the past few months.

EN was a little weird this last time, wasn't it? They technically did two auditions? One specifically looking for singing talent, then a second more conventional wave?

Not sure where you would have been hearing connor, unless you had him on a separate tab

I saw the feed and got distracted because I work evenings and things have been a bit insane lately, so I didn't have a great deal of mental bandwidth. Not being familiar with Holostars specifically beyond 'male Hololive' I didn't recognize him. And my brain filled in the blanks as I went veering off somewhere else, is probably what happened.

Zen is seriously underappreciated and needs more eyes on her streams. She's a great gateway to the various Indies on Twitch.

(Still holding out for an Amelia/Zentreya Apex teamup, but I have no idea who the third would be for that kind of collab. Comedy option, Pomu Rainpuff?)

is gura the only nendo(so far)?

is there an archive of the stream anywhere? I'm not seeing it on any of the channels.

It was an online AX panel, so we're not likely to see any archives of it.

It also makes sense that Gura would be the first to get a Nendo, she's MADDENINGLY popular. It was kinda funny seeing Ina realize that people are making figures of her, though.

It's probably not as bad as it looks. Head tracking gets really janky when you're in a position where it has a hard time tracking you but hasn't quite realized yet that it's having a hard time tracking you. Sora's a bit infamous for all the times her avatar's temporarily become haunted because she knocked over her phone.

I keep forgetting that the L2D software they're probably using most of the time only came to PC fairly recently and was originally written for a phone.

It seems like Scuff is an EN feature in general. The vShojo panel scuff should be comedy gold.

nielsm posted:

The Marine clip above actually has her using a 3D model, not Live2D model. The Live2D model wouldn't be able to deform the neck that way, it works inside a strictly defined output-range of motion.

But yes the tracking tech used should be able to be extended to handle some more parts, like shoulders, and remember that some of the hololive gen 0 members recently got hands tracking added as a feature for their home streaming setups.

Zentreya uses either torso or full body tracking as well, and of course Melody does for obvious reasons. It's a really neat technology.

An interesting one is Pochi-sensei, who uses some sort of device on her hands for her hand capture. She even occasionally has to find them and put them on when she decides to do some impromptu hand motions. I definitely feel it's different from whatever tracking that Miko is using, since it's less prone to wild and unpredictable motion in my experience

There's been some work with the Vive trackers and Haptic gloves as well. It might be something similar to that. Or a combination of peripherals.

As part of hitting 1 Million subs, Pekora told her mother what she did for a living for the first time. I think her mother mused she knew that Pekora was making "Money off the internet, and was often very loud" but thought it was better not to ask.

And then Pekomom starts putting 'peko' in her own words.
