have been looking to that ktane collab for a few days

rather predictably today's had a lot going on, given that this is pretty much the last day to do non-halloween stuff this week (and some halloween streams are also in today, and also all the new games that just came out...)

so i guess i'll try to cover as many of the other ones of note today as i can manage without overloading too much

Ame's Halloween stream is a good time so far.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuNN9mWWIdg

I've seen this clip so many times, in the original stream, in compilations, from all three POVs.

It never gets old.

speaking of muse dash the virtual band memex got one of their songs added to it last week

it's a mediocre remix of one of their worse songs

Ame and Gura's A Way Out stream is worth a look.

Anybody watch much Holostars? I've been starting to watch Roberu and Aruran but I don't know the rest at all.

---

Yeah a lot of them are pretty entertaining. They also have the benefits of smaller chats (more well behaved), and there are active and dedicated translators in the live chat. Plus, since the chat moves slower, it's easier to follow the translations. Really easy to watch Holostars streams live.

I'll give some info on the ones I know well enough.

Rikka = Does live music streams very regularly as well as some misc. stuff. Has a nice voice and is good at the guitar. He was one of the first Holostars members, and was the most popular Holostar for a while before Roberu started gaining in popularity recently. I watch a decent amount of indie vtubers who also do music streams, so sometimes it's hard to find the time to also watch Rikka, but I do always enjoy putting his stuff on when no one else is playing anything.

Shien = Has a design that makes him look like an edgy character from an anime I'd never watch, but his actual personality is basically a fuckin' goofball. He's one of the funniest members in my opinion and if you watch any of the recent Among Us collabs I think his personality really shines. He also has great chemistry with Roberu so you can watch for any of their collabs. My highest personal rec out of the Holostars group.

Astel = Sometimes it's hard to tell if he's a genius or an idiot but he's pretty entertaining. He's very into Minecraft if you're into watch Minecraft streams, and has a really good mind for planning out and building things. Also a really good Apex player. I don't watch a lot of gaming streams, I'm more into stuff like drawing, music, etc. But if no one else is streaming and I need something to run in the background, Astel's streams are fairly decent.

Since you already know Roberu and Aru-san that kinda covers the ones that I know the most. I'll give a bit more information on the others based on their reputation and what I've seen in collabs.

Kira = The gimmick is that he's one of those anime boys who sort of looks and sounds like a girl. His personality is pretty entertaining, he definitely plays up the "spoiled brat" aspect and just has a sort of dark, vindictive, and petty streak that is often used for comedic effect. It's hard to explain but this is the impression that I got from watching him interact with other Holostars.

Miyabi = I don't know much about him. He seems friendly and laid back, but I couldn't tell you what his particular niche is. Or if he even has one. He is somewhat popular though.

Izuru = Another fairly talented musician, he's also a bit more funny, wild, and immature than Rikka. Haven't watched enough of him to say much beyond that.

Oga = Looks like the badass anti-hero of a final fantasy cast but from what I've seen of his personality he's probably one of the more polite, passive, and well behaved members. Though he is still a bit more rowdy than Rikka or Miyabi.

Tenma = Haven't seen enough about him to give you much of an impression but I know the meme is that he's supposedly a paladin but acts more like a 'dark knight.' Has sort of a suicopath meme reputation around him.

If you want to get a feel for all of the members and their personalities, you can start with these clips of the recent Among Us collab:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fG0Hf72Flog

I linked part 1, you can follow parts 2-4 on your own unless you've never used the internet before.

There's lots of really funny moments and this is nothing like the girls Among Us collab. It's way more chaotic, rowdy, and aggressive. They shout and accuse each other of being liars and traitors, it's very entertaining. You get a feel for everyone's personality as they switch POVs a lot, although I notice the clipper definitely has a preference for starting things in Miyabi's point of view.

The quality of the subs is also really good so it's worth a watch.

Some notes based on their behavior between this and the first collab:

1. You don't need to have seen the first collab to understand anything here. It was mostly just them figuring out the game, although there were a few memes and funny moments that carried over to this one.
2. In the first collab a few members started doing funny things and giving death quotes/screams when they were voted off, so most of the members started doing it from the second collab onward.
3. They have an interesting rule where you have to unmute your mic and scream when you are killed. So if you see/hear them giving death screams, that's why. You can probably figure this out from context but it's funny so I thought I'd mention it.
4. At some point during the role assigning phase when everyone was muting their mics, Izuru just randomly starts screaming "JA NE?!" in a more and more aggressive tone. This caused the behavior to degrade to the point where from the second collab onward, the role revealing phase is pretty much accompanied by everyone screaming and shouting at each other before going silent. It really sets the tone of the game as a lot more playfully antagonistic.

That will get me started nicely thanks :D

Imagine paying for membership, waiting to get into the game, and the best insults you can come up with are "shame" and "loser" before you get kicked.

I don't want to bring them more attention in more official spaces but I find the Chinese anti campaign oddly fascinating.

big day for (relevant) vtuber 3D debuts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oth8vtTegoM

part 5 was released earlier, I just got around to watching it.

looks like for the last round they actually tried to sit down, behave, and play an intelligent game. it was an interesting change of pace. Kira was super deadly as the imposter, and Rikka continues to show his skills as crewmate.

I think at the end Oga should have tried to make the argument that Roberu was waiting for everyone to get together before doing a stack kill, and that he couldn't kill earlier because it would be too obvious. but it seems like he's not that good at lying or killing other players, so imposter just doesn't suit his personality.

Yeah the Coco antis haven't really detracted from the overall HL experience post-return and feels like their presence just keeps getting smaller and smaller.

Miko did a GTA V story stream, couldn't monetise any aspect of it, but from what I saw she provided the experience most people wanted, sidestepping the big word for the most part....though still managed the one slip up.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C4xiofbLH0

She hit 600k during the stream too. Doing very well post comeback.

Polka and Kiara did a collab where Minecraft repeatedly crashed so they just gave up and hung out for a while and it was....actually still quite fun.

On a related note, I wonder if some jokes just somehow work better when the speaker is ESL for some reason. Like Korone's "Turtle House" and "Independence Day" or Polka counting Kiaras in the above stream are decent jokes but like for some reason they're hilarious coming from them. Maybe the language barrier helps somehow or maybe they are just comedy gods whose delivery transcends language <_>

anyway I'm into Polka now

I don't want to diminish Korone's comedy genius. She's definitely one of the more creative and sharp vtubers out there. But yeah, just learning a language is like a comedy gold mine because your brain is looking at everything fresh and usually has to find unique ways to say things.

Could be a pretty good one, can't remember if they've ever done a duo collab, only seen them together for these massive group ups.
