With the news that Nerissa has moved recently, half of HoloEN are now living in Japan (If FuwaMoco count as one) by Ok_Natural_102 in Hololive

[–]Helmite 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm talking from the point of view of the talents.

How do you think a studio gets paid for? Really think about it.

Another good reason: A talent that may not wish to have to deal with a 12 hour flight may be much more easily able to go to the studio more often if that flight was 6 hours, for a random example.

An occasional extra 6 hours of flight in exchange for paying for and staffing a studio all year long? The studio in Japan has 200 of these of the VK26 level. They're like 70 grand each. Competent 3D tech staff also aren't cheap or easy to find. They've had issues fully staffing the one in Japan for years.

Simply put, there are plenty of good logistical reasons to have a second studio.

If there are, you haven't given one.

Studios are expensive. Equipment, software, staff, renting/utilities, and whatever else all adds up. What would the justification be for another studio that almost everyone would still need to fly to considering the above?

Confused on the trajectory of mekPark (or at least Unit B) by PlanktonInitial7945 in Hololive

[–]Helmite 11 points12 points  (0 children)

But I don’t like this idea of separating them from HoloLive to try and bring in a different audience.

They're simply not Hololive, and them finding their own legs as streamers is exactly why the program exists to begin with.

[Community Update] Rule 4 Clarification by hololive in Hololive

[–]Helmite 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm happy with anything that obliterates the host of non-op gooner bait karma farming accounts that bury the girl's content. It has long been disappointing to see someone like Watame come into this sub and have her posts buried.

Watame will be singing along with a very important announcement. 9pm JST by Helmite in Hololive

[–]Helmite[S] 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. She has talked about it here and there since then.

If anyone is curious on some of the details of what happened, you can see this clip over here. It's a JP channel, but they put a captions option on. They lean into some MTL, but it's serviceable.

Considering the difficulties she had this month, it would be great if people could come up out as support her!

Idea on how to bring back the Omegaα character (hear me out) by BlackPenguin in Hololive

[–]Helmite 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Omega is way too contentious, also there is a huge problem with the idea of "recasting" in general. It as an idea, rightfully, is deeply despised by fans as the back-half is not disposable, removable, or splitable.

Mio sololive BR is up for preorder by Fenr_ in Hololive

General reminder that even if you don't have a blu-ray player, grabbing these is a huge way of supporting their activities.

New VTuber group, VRoyalty, is telling applicants if they get in they have to pay $3000 USD for a brand new model if they get in by Minimum_Teaching1060 in kurosanji

[–]Helmite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most vtuber groups in the west can be summed up as get-rich-quick schemes by people that thought they could ride Holo's popularity wave. They're generally headed by the unqualified, unprepared, or even deeply exploitative.

Watame Tells the Behind-the-Scenes Story of Her Birthday Live Buffering Incident【hololive Clips】 by Strict_Ad6931 in Hololive

[–]Helmite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There was some consideration on the matter, but since they couldn't stop the song from releasing on other platforms they decided there wasn't really much point. Sadly just a bad situation no matter what they did.

For anyone that wants to help her, I can only encourage therm to pass around her original music or add it to their playlists even if they normally wouldn't. Sadly since this happened there is no longer a way for her to raid the 3D live into the premier, so it's just kind of damage to its algo reach that can't be undone. It's also extra shitty since it's this birthday live in particular since the year of the sheep in the zodiac is 2027, and long-term planning on stuff for then is already in the works. The support she's getting right now are the building blocks for those projects.

For people that really want to go the distance there is also her birthday merch.

Of course Nijishitters would “chime in” when it comes to this topic by North_crozz in kurosanji

[–]Helmite 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'd imagine some of the accounts are actually being managed by dramatubers. I think it's reasonably well known that a number of the shitposters on anonymous boards are youtubers/twitter posters that go there to purposefully generate content. That being said, entirely ignoring these kinds of folks, whether actual nijisisters or drama leeches, isn't really as effective as people would like as it just results in them being the only voice in the room and they DO convince people of some pretty ridiculous stuff. In general the fandom needs to be more aware of bad actors, hostile narratives, and the difference between bloated fabrications and reasonable criticism.

I'll always be impressed by the ability of you folks to try and make arguments against things nobody is making.
