streamer: points a camera at their room. probably should have shaved. typically sequesters themselves to a specific space in a layout frame
vtuber: puppets a cartoon they dead rear end put in the corner right over their game in front of god and everyone
strongbad: aiming a camera directly at their computer screen

strongbad is thus a dailymotion-era lets player

It'd be neat if instead of a vsinger or whatever else, Omega is a vproducer.

Since there's so much music being made, an inhouse producer would be interesting to have.

I see it a something similar to when FGO blew up for Type/Moon. They were suddenly getting a huge influx of income especially compared to the size of the company at the time.

You gotta aim that money hose somewhere.

It also turned out pretty great for building hype.

People keep saying that (I think I might've even said it at one point myself), but like, it doesn't necessarily have to be the case. Calli, for example, is deep in her gimmick and has never dropped it, and although it's more understated, Ame's kept up her lore through stuff like the Small Ame being a separate timeline.

I do think it's quite possible for them to keep up on the lore, especially since they've been making a MUCH stronger push for the lore than they ever did before.

You know, we were all joking about HoloEN2 being cosmic force concepts. And then when they went crazy lore with the teasers leading up to IRyS and Council we started joking about concept albums. What if this actually IS the underpinnings of a concept album Omega's doing?

The lore is silly but fine in a "fun for flavor but don't take it seriously" way. I do think it's hilarious that even the Council crew looked at the teaser trailers and had no idea what was going on, though.

This is true. I could see Sana and Hakos especially keeping up their kayfabe, in large part because they are soooo into their concept just inherently.

Ame's timeline lore has only been getting wilder over time, it's great. Even Gura's gotten back into her lore in a big way recently, with her primal Gawr side explicitly condemning/hating the cute fluffy shark she's become.

Amelia's in the bizarre position in that while she does a lot of "lore" stuff it's rarely anything that was mentioned around her debut and I'm still undecided if things went "she was given the clock motif because she was always secretly a time traveller" or "she made up the time travel stuff because she already had the clock motif"

they were pretty much making GBS threads on the lore in their stream i don't think they'll stick too much to it

Oooooooooooh!

Similar topic, I like how Korone’s lore is that she’s a wholesome dog that supposedly works in a bakery, but she just made up her own stuff like wanting fingers and listener-san and pepper coffee and all that stuff that stuck way better than forcing a preset gimmick.

This thread can't stop touching the poop so it's pretty pointless now tbh. Used to be a good place to go to chill out but it's not really good for that anymore and hasn't been for months. Everytime it starts to calm down it starts up again.
I don't think that's true. when the "no digging up previous identities etc" rules were implemented, there hasn't been a single instance of that since, right? there's been plenty of improvement, there's just room for more yet.

Roth posted:

What about Strongbad?
I believe there is actually a video that was posted upthread of a strongbad vtuber model


I really love the idea of Mei doing history streams, especially if she goes real hard on serious stuff you've probably never heard of before if you only learned history in school for the most part. hopefully Sana will do space facts streams, get some educational content mixed in with the game streaming. ame's wildlife streams are fantastic.

Doesn't really matter too much if they stick with their gimmicks, but seeing the council work out their chemistry is going to be good.

Out of all of them: I just want to see what Mumei does with history streams, because there is SO MUCH potential there and I want to see this owl nerd out about it. Game-wise she could go for the easy stuff like Civilization, but you could take games like God of War, Assassin's Creed, and somewhat more niche ones like Crusader Kings, Nioh, and Illusion of Gaia and focus on the history and mythology that they touch on.

Not gonna lie, that's exactly what I would do as a vtuber, but someone who's already got recognition going this route would be a delight to watch.

Aside from that, I'm probably gonna be glued to Hakos streams because she's such an absolute cartoon character already, and the energy is incredible.

As someone who sat through three years of upper-level college history courses, not because it was leading to any lucrative career, but just because I found the topics fascinating, hell yeah.
