Happy birthday to Millie!!


=============

Wait, Ina's costume is reminding me wayyyy too much of Abby from FGO with all the little bows and stuff... Who is the artist?

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Ina's illustrator is Kuroboshi Kouhaku ( Kuroboshi papa )... yeah, it's the same guy.
She actually mentions similarities to Abby at the start of the reveal.

So far i think Ina's is definitely my favorite. It's different to here other outfits but it's still very Ina.

Apparently Gura spoke to Amashiro-mama and sent a big portfolio of greek and roman toga type clothes and trinkets and requested something like that and Amashiro-mama agreed and was enthusiastic about it. Originally Gura's new dress was going to be a kind of princess apparently. Gura was over-the-moon about it. Nachoneko is a great mama.

Can't wait to see what Hukepapa has for Kiara later.

Lui is having an English chat stream and just answered a question about her favorite senpai saying she loves all her senpai but that Calli is her favorite as Calli has been really supportive and helpful to Lui since she joined Hololive. She said she admired and watched Calli before joining and she loves Calli even more now. Bless.

Good work, "Dad".

 

[ezodagrom]

The changes to Flare's default outfit are bigger than I expected, but I feel that it fits better with her overall personality than her original outfit.

 

[Kvik]

We have finally given a form at last.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Wow, Kiara's outfit is amazing and she's singing Sad Sparks and it's lining up perfectly with Pina in the final few minutes of Subnautica... love it.
... and now as usual Pina has gone on a tangent gathering stuff to bring with her. lol!

Kiara's masked ball outfit and ballroom look fantastic. Special announcement at the Myth Collab later apparently!
New outfit merch - a B2 Banner and a big image mat like a big mousepad.

Sad Sparks - Time - 01:04:15

Holomyth new dresses collab

 

[Kvik]

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

VOMS, KSON and some other indie VTubers Minecrafting again.

 

[「Echo」]

There are IRyS clips floating around where she talks about Karaoke might not be allowed anymore? Even unarchived... I wonder if this is a Cover rule or if it will apply to all Vtubers... Either way this would be pretty sad. And I think especially for the Vsingers... like what the heck?

If I'm not mistaken, she's only talking about karaoke for songs that they don't have permissions for.
Basically before they could do unarchived singing streams for songs they don't have permissions for, but because of a change of rules (I assume from youtube's side?), seems like they'll be unable to even do these as unarchived streams. Seems like they'll only be able to do singing streams for songs that they have permissions for, I think?

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Yes. they are still working out the actual rule or situation and the Unarchived Karaoke Streams will still go on but they probably won't be a free-for-all like before and will only be songs they have permissions for. A couple of the channels that had Unarchived Karaoke have been taken down or are gone now too so i suspect there's been some DMCA hits.
There's still some unarchived streams saved and available but you have to go search for them.

I thought i'd posted about the situation a few days ago when i read about it on Reddit but i just checked and somehow my note had been deleted while editing leaving only this "Spoiler" so i'll repost it here.

Tip for Unarchived streams - yt-dlp

Get yt-dlp:

GitHub - yt-dlp/yt-dlp: A feature-rich command-line audio/video downloader

A feature-rich command-line audio/video downloader - yt-dlp/yt-dlp

github.com

Get yt-dlp FFMPEG builds:

GitHub - yt-dlp/FFmpeg-Builds: FFmpeg Builds for yt-dlp

FFmpeg Builds for yt-dlp. Contribute to yt-dlp/FFmpeg-Builds development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

Extract them to the same folder, open a command prompt in the folder and try this:
yt-dlp.exe -f "bestvideo[height<=720]+bestaudio/best[height<=720]" -r 2M URL
yt-dlp.exe -f "bestvideo[height<=720]+bestaudio/best[height<=720]" -r 2M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZTVchX8qJs

This will find the best quality audio & video for a stream at 720p which i find is best for archiving stuff as i don't need 4k or anything like that.
Change 720 for whatever res you prefer.
-r will limit the download to 2M handy to avoid flooding your connection and pissing off housemates, getting stuttering etc. Change as required.
URL is the full url of the stream/video.

yt-dlp.exe -F URL
will give you the available formats for a stream, DASH will usually throttle at some point so i avoid it.

yt-dlp can do some pretty complicated things especially if you combine it with aria2c, so read the wiki and do some searches for tutorials if you want more complicated things. I've pretty much settled on that command as my go-to archive command.

You can use that on both Live streams and VODs but it will only start from when you run it so unless there's another archive or they rebroadcast then you lose stuff that's already gone in a live stream.

 

[ezodagrom]

Pekora is gonna have a big announcement tomorrow:



Maybe she's finally getting the long delayed new outfit? Or maybe it'll be an announcement about her birthday stream next month?

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Talking of Pekora she has a collab with Bae on the 16th. holoRodents is starting to form.

Pitty that it's in the middle of the night for me, so I'll have to miss it.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

I timestamped Sad Sparks in Kiara's Dress Reveal link but someone has clipped it. I love this version.

 

[「Echo」]

Today Rosemi ate spicy peppers and tortured herself with Jump King lmao.

Also it's really interesting she so openly talks about her work outside of V-tubing. Coming from only watching Hololive tubers before, I feel like they never talk about work or anything like that outside of well, Hololive work.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

A couple of the Hololive members talk about working outside of streaming but only a couple and aside from Ayame and Subaru they only mention it vaguely. PRISM Project mention it when relevant, Pina calls her work "Training" ( She's an Audio Engineer ) and i know Rita talks about her day-job too.

It's Nijisanji that speaks about work outside streaming the most, at least in EN i don't know about ID/KR or JP.


I know Pomu isn't/wasn't very happy at her job a lot of the time tho. She told work she makes "webinars".

 

[Anteater]

Pikamee is another that often talks about her previous work experience and are quite detail/specific, but were all mostly part time, Taco Bell, a black company (exploitative sweatshop-type business), translator, convenient store clerk, and some clothing store, also has crashed her company's car before, some of her jobs haven't really been kind to her. She's now a full time vtuber though.

 

[ezodagrom]

Pekora's announcement is that she's getting a new outfit on the 19th, next sunday:

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Kronii & Kiara have a Diablo II collab later on.


Kronii had a collab with IRys, Reine and Anya earlier.

[Durante]

Unarchived Rosemi VR singing stream just started:

 

[Kvik]

I don't care much for Pokemon but the stream was a riot.

 

[「Echo」]

oh no, they're all hot.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

I wondered when they were going to reveal NijiEN Blokes. Didn't expect it just before Christmas though.

 

[ExistentialThought]

I will say Nijisanji is a lot better about not siloing their male talents like Cover is with Holostars, so I imagine we will see some collabs and more interactions.

 

[「Echo」]

oh not to worry, the NijiEN girls are already going nuts lmao. For example here is Nina doing her mom flirts lol.


And I guess Elira will be co-hosting their debut!

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

I was going to mention that they'll have an easier time in NijiEN than Holostars and then i wondered which of the NijiEN girls will be the first to make one of the guys cry. I couldn't decide between Selen or Nina and then i added Rosemi into the mix because of her sheer bloody-minded naivety.

Niji-ID especially doesn't seem to give two shits about mixed collabs.

---

Speaking of Ninisani (lol) Elira had a collab with Seffyna.

---

Also Obake PAM and Aka Mana have 3d VR Chat avatars now.


... and they are both fangirling over Luxiem too.

 

[Cacher]

 

[「Echo」]

Kvik 's wallet right now...

 

[ExistentialThought]

It looks like the US site has the wrong estimated ship date of January 2022, but the main listing has November 2022, holy moly

Lol. Probably meant to be January 2023.

 

[Kvik]

It's not too bad. Roughly $160 AUD.

It would be a nice birthday present if they released it on schedule, but with the ongoing supply chain issue, well, Jan 2023 is more realistic.

She has her pair ring as one of the accessories which is cute.

 

[Durante]

Pomu did a really fun story stream:

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Big HoloX AmongUs Collab in 10 minutes

---

Pina and Naki from PRISM Project are having a Diamond Race in Minecraft

 

[ezodagrom]

Tha anual Hololive Mario Kart tournament is gonna have alot of participants next year, including all EN members, HoloX, and gen 2 ID members.

 

[Anteater]

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Cool.
Good to see Myth and Council there and Ollie, Anya, Reine. IRyS with HoloID or is that just so she fits on the image?

Also good to KSON and VOMS get along so well.

 

[ezodagrom]

IRyS with HoloID or is that just so she fits on the image?

Most likely, yeah. And Subaru is next to gen 1 since Towa originally forgot to include Subaru in the pic. ^^;

Members that aren't participating: Sora, Azki, Haachama, Korone, Rushia, Botan, and HoloID gen 1.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Hachi is having one of her regular singing streams and it's awesome. I love her singing. This time it's ballads.

I forgot it was on so i've just joined.

 

[Mutant Strawberry]

Here's some lovely fan art Suisei drew of Calli.


You didn't see anything

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Do try to keep up, 007.

OLLIE'S BACK!

---

"Not Reiny" was discussing "Culture" last night so i have this VOD to catch up with, lol

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Apparently i need to listen to this. Ina had a stream where she just chatted and cleaned her room and from what i'm reading on reddit and twitter essentially Past Ina had turned the room into this but with Dr Oopsie cans.

---

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Salt Mine?
edit: changed to Elira's VOD as Finana had to leave after a few matches but feel free to watch Finana's stream anyway! She's great.

---

Naki and Pina from PRISM having a great fun Diamond Race.

 

[「Echo」]

And I know nothing about League, but I'm excited to watch that collab lol. Rosemi after League =

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

The Pina and Naki diamond race was awesome and i have the LoL Collab and Reiny's guerilla karaoke to look forward to later today.
Speaking of Reiny here's some clips Nagzz had on his latest "Nagzz Discovers" channel vid.

This was an EPIC collab with all three of them "graduating" at the end due to how unseiso they made Humans Fall Flat. lol

Some more FPS La Lion with a bunch of crazy 'nade kills at the end. {Poi!}

[EdwardTivrusky]

Non Anon from PRISM the madlass is recreating childhood hell and testing her sanity by playing games for 16 hours with Crazy Frog in the background to simulate a flight from hell from her childhood complete with low level airplane noise. She's also incorporated the PRISM cover of Snow Halation into the background to celebrate the awesome premiere yesterday.

4 hours in and currently playing Nerts (Competitive online Solitaire) with Sara... Slitherio is on the cards next possibly.


12 hours til they land at Ligma City in Wonderland. lol.
