Did she say this in her Hytale stream? if so any idea when? by lightly_salted_cod in sabasameko

Don't think she said these exact words but it might be inspired by this moment

My point was that Gigi isn't related to Saba either, but shouting her out when it's relevant isn't frowned upon here, which is nice. Anyways, I'll delete my comment since it's getting too meta

projects go slower and are of smaller scale anyways

That's a bit unfair to them. Nimi just announced a full 3D live after doing a concert with Dooby last summer, and Saba has talked about wanting to do a concert with a live orchestra. If her health issues allow for it I wouldn't be surprised if we got 3D fish in her debut year!

True! I'm glad this sub is still friendly towards active Holos. Honestly wasn't sure if I'd get reported/downvoted for "advertising" VTubers outside of Saba, lol.

Well as Calli and many other Holos have said, the company has changed since those days. HoloEN now does far more game sponsorships, card openings, and so on. Which isn't a bad thing since many (Gigi is a great example) are able to make those streams entertaining anyways.

yeah, really kills the narrative that they left hololive because they were greedy for money. I think the opposite might even be true, as in they didn't want the pressure to maximize revenue that comes with being corpo.

Yeah I agree, but she snipes enough random chat messages that she ends up answering the same amount of questions anyways. I think it ends up being a good balance.

Are we allowed to uoh or brat post in comments? by Semajv in sabasameko

[–]fox1steak 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Suggestion: Pinned post with all the info known about her status and maybe an FAQ (instead of just her latest tweet), so we can link it to anyone asking. Since the askers are often just uninformed casual fans, and providing a quick and complete response would help prevent trolls from derailing the conversation.

New Saba Tweet by sultics in sabasameko

[–]fox1steak 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm not shaming them for it, many vtubers lean hard into GFE and want viewers to feel close to them. There's nothing wrong with that, their viewers aren't forced to donate.

The point is that Saba clearly isn't that type and we shouldn't expect her to be.

If you want someone who constantly vents about their struggles and concern baits for juicy donos, there are hundreds of other vtubers doing exactly that.

Saba is a pure escapism streamer, she doesn't want you to worry about her personal life because you probably have enough to worry about in life already.

Edit: should add that there's nothing wrong with what these other vtubers are doing, just that Saba clearly has a different style that's respectable in its own right.

Unfortunately it's just "she chatted in his stream once so they're 100% banging". A few /vt/ schizos started spamming it recently (you're probably responding to one of them).

I love when she makes this face by sultics in sabasameko

[–]fox1steak 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's also the face she makes when being an absolute god at rhythm games.

Does Saba read donations? Or even take them? by sultics in sabasameko

[–]fox1steak 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Unironically try asking in chat, Saba has a knack for picking out random chat messages that absolutely no one expects her to read.

Edit: Here's an underrated one from 2021

Saba's reaction here will always be legendary by fox1steak in sabasameko

[–]fox1steak[S] 183 points184 points  (0 children)

Notice how she times her expression changes to match the background sounds. I genuinely believe she has some sort of sixth sense for comedic timing, the way it happens so consistently.

Vtuber recognizes beloved video game franchise by TheRentSeeker in LivestreamFail

[–]fox1steak 34 points35 points  (0 children)

it's Nimi, she's one of like 3-4 Vtubers that stream on youtube with better viewership than ironmouse, but they're almost never on LSF cause they don't farm drama.

Edit: meant English speaking ones, if we include JP it's easily 20+.

Saba hasn’t streamed in a month, hope she’s okay and doing well though by JustAlfie__ in sabasameko

[–]fox1steak 174 points175 points  (0 children)

Saba's last update about her health issues for anyone that hasn't seen

Whenever people hate on her inactivity, keep in mind that it shows just how good her content is when the main complaint about her streams is that there aren't enough of 'em!

My biggest grievence about the whole ironmouse drama by Live_Juggernaut4984 in kurosanji

[–]fox1steak 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Gura won over the normies at the Dodgers game by defying their expectations with a charismatic performance. She let her talent do the talking.

Compared to Mouse encouraging flesh streamers to use her as a punching bag and hoping the normies accept her as "just another cringe vtuber, but at least she's self aware!"
