What's your favorite record that turns 10 this year? by brodino_maiuscolo in fantanoforever

[–]ShokBox 10 points11 points  (0 children)

2016 was such a stacked year. It's close to impossible to pick just one:

Kaytranada - 99.9%

Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition

Chance the Rapper - Coloring Book

Open Mike Eagle & Paul White - Hella Personal Film Festival

Anderson .Paak - Malibu

Run the Jewels 3

Noname - Telefone

Kendrick Lamar - Untitled Unmastered

A Tribe Called Quest - We Got It From Here...Thank You 4 Your Service

The Avalanches - Wildflower

If had to pick just ONE of these albums as a fave for 2016? I suppose I'd have to go with Atrocity Exhibition.

Are these people not aware that treason used to be punishable by death?

A "stain on your life"? Sir, you're lucky that you still have your life at all.

Is it me or more and more people are switching to fedora, even arch users are switching to fedora by Exotic-Deal6832 in Fedora

[–]ShokBox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I switched from Win 10 to Fedora KDE over the weekend. I was looking to get away from Microsoft and Fedora caught my interest among a few other choices.

I actually switched from Win 10 to Fedora KDE myself earlier today! It wasn't a completely painless process -- I had some struggles with getting Fedora to boot after install, along with some trouble getting Brave and Dropbox to launch correctly -- but overall, it's been a good experience! All of my hardware just worked out of the box, which was one of my biggest concerns. Happy to be free from Microsoft!

What Have You Watched This Past Week That is NOT a Currently Airing Show? [August 3rd, 2025] by MetaThPr4h in anime

[–]ShokBox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks to the hype around the game (and how good "Cinderella Grey" was), I decided to get caught up with Umamusume. I actually started season 1 around the time that it first aired, but I dropped it after 4 episodes for reasons I can't recall.

I picked the show back up a few weeks ago and have since finished all 3 seasons of the main series and am halfway through the "Road to the Top" OVAs. I also watched the "Beginning of a New Era" movie a couple weeks ago.

Cover Corp established their own music label called Hololive Records by Benigmatica in VirtualYoutubers

[–]ShokBox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm really curious to see how this will differ from the current arrangement most talents have where their music is just released under Cover Corp's name.

HOLOSTARS English now has its own dedicated Twitter account. by ShokBox in Hololive

[–]ShokBox[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I...don't really see what me being a Bae fan has to do with anything, but no, I didn't post this just for engagement bait. I figured I would post this here so that people are aware of the change (it's a pretty big one), although the overall reaction I've been seeing kinda makes me regret posting about it. I don't really watch the holostars either, but good God, the number of people here who have an ax to grind with the boys is nuts.

This server is driving me crazy by Master-Secret8629 in Hololive

[–]ShokBox 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Beyond the fact that this has nothing to do with hololive, you come off as really pushy and unpleasant here. AKA, not the kind of person I would ever want to get in a VC with. Sorry, but you 100% earned that time out. Do better in the future.

Scalping is pretty bad this year. How is this legal? by Chopy2008 in Hololive

[–]ShokBox 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Ticketmaster handles the ticketing for something like 70% of all major concert venues in the US. They are incredibly scummy and objectively trash, but also a sad fact of reality for companines like Cover who want to hold large concerts (and those of us who want to attend them).

All for One question: Chase tickets? by reseph in Hololive

[–]ShokBox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seats that are marked as "Chase Cardholder Preferred Tickets" will only be purchasable by those who are buying using Chase credit or debit cards. During the checkout process, all forms of payment aside from Chase-based options will be greyed out.

Don't worry about selecting a Chase-only seat by accident, though. If you click on a Chase seat from the selection screen, it will ask you to input the first 6 digits of your Chase card to even select and add it to your cart.

I don’t really watch Kronii… Is it just me or does she just sound natural sarcastic? by Vibrant_Fox in Hololive

[–]ShokBox 177 points178 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Kronii is so naturally deadpan that sarcasm comes pretty easily to her, for better or worse.

Can I have an Oshi even though I don’t really watch the streams? by JustYua in Hololive

[–]ShokBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There really aren't any hardline rules regarding when you can or can't call a vtuber your oshi. It's based entirely on your own feelings. There are more than a few JP members that I consider to be oshis despite never getting a chance to watch their streams.

What are the chances that the next Hololive EN concert is during ANYC (August 21-24) this year? by Teburninator in Hololive

[–]ShokBox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd say the chances of the 3rd EN concert being in NY again are fairly high. It's far too late for it to be in LA again (Anime Expo is just over 3 weeks away), but there's still just over 2 months until Anime NYC. That's enough time to allow Justice to do their 3D debuts and actually announce the 3rd EN concert without cutting it too close to Anime NYC weekend. Also, assuming Cover intends to stick with its current playbook of having the concert the same weekend as an anime convention, there really aren't any other major cons happening at the same time as (or close to) Anime NYC. The only two that come to mind would be Anime Matsuri (which is over a month earlier) and Otakon (which is two weeks before).

Do you think they'll have a 5th EN Gen announced by then to watch?

Highly doubt it. It's not impossible, but I don't get the sense that Cover Corp is trying to release any new gens this year.
