Man, now I'm sad

Souls games on the rise. Helldivers falling. Minecraft at a all time low. Cooking streams are looking to be a fad few tried out, and even less stuck to.
There seems to be a drastic drop in ARK streams since the year 2015.
Vtubers are retreating to their discords.
Moomin was a brief blip probably originating with the snuffy Fallout New Vegas stream.

Man this crossword puzzle is testing my reps. Good stuff anon.

If losses weren't capped, Niji stock would have nearly halved in value yesterday

>>71385428
how does capping works

>>71382792
I have no idea how that works

>>71385486
Every stock exchange has a certain limit of how much the price of a stock can fluctuate in a day, to avoid market manipulation and abrupt collapse (because a stock fall of this magnitude can sometimes be self-sustaining). After that limit is hit, trading keeps going, but it can't push the share price higher or lower than whatever the exchange has capped it at. Niji hit the bottom limit yesterday—it lost the most value it was possible to lose in a single day. Based on the amount of shares sold, though, if that cap weren't there, Niji's share price would be somewhere around 1600-1700 yen if I recall correctly

>>71385560You just make the first post of the thread "NEWS ANCHOR" and hope that everyone who comes with news will reply to it. Like the delivery anchor in the drawthread and the story anchor in /wg/

>>71386290

having almost solved the whoel crossword i gotta say this kind of fails to deliver, besides barely any crossing that could help you solve words for liek half of them. many questions just aren't really /vt/ questions at all.

1. this one is fine
2. the question itself is completly wrongly worded and asks for a wrong thing. the actual nickname of the chuuba is not the same, what is actually wanted is BAEs nicknmae for her, two different things. also has like 0 relation to /vt/ outside of like 1 thread and evne niche there
3. as well as 13. using the same thing twice
4. the only one i am stuck on so i cannot judge this one
5. this is just striaght up not related to /vt/ and is form the /jp/ era
6. hololive only thign that has no direct relations to the board
7. i get the reference but its misleading and technicly wrong as that is exactly NOT what its beign called
8. just straight up "know what the author wants" kind of question as this term is loosely applied to several chuubas. thats like asking for "who is the gurakiller"
9. thats not really official in any form and i am not a big fan of namefaggotry even if i love beebs
10. this one is fine
11. this one is fine i guess albeit very holo specific and to certain threads
12. this one is fine
14. this one is fine

all in all not the best and needs work in my book

Now we just need actual articles. Anyone take a journalism class in college?

>>71392303
>many questions just aren't really /vt/ questions at all
I did this one in a bit of a hurry so i double ogey by accident. I should do the crossword before the other thread.

Do you want to make the crosswords next thread? we are hiring and also might ran out of references halfway through this one

Want to propose a comic anchor for stuff like >>71389873 too

yeah I thought they were truly unsinkable

Here's a quick evening news roundup.

Nijisanji
>AnyColor stock prices reach an all-time low as shares are queued en masse to sell, only saved by the mercy of the cap on losses. We at rrat news network do not condone the use of certain sensitive words in this broadcast, but know that we're definitely thinking what you're thinking.

>K9_Kuro fails to google something before running his mouth on Twitter. My only comment is this: a worn out shoe.

Other Info
>Helldivers seeing a reduce in popularity as it fades out of FotM status, however it still is going strong. Expect to see it as an accessible collab game going forward.
>Battlefield 2 Classic's rerelease has met critical distate, stemming from really really shitty server space. Don't expect this one to take off.
>New GOI-inspired game, A Difficult Game About Climbing, is creeping into FotM status as more people become aware of its existence.

Market Updates
>Marine, Suisei, and Gura are increasing at strong paces.
>Marine is typically bought as a dividend coin due to her absurdly high value, so this behavior is normal.
>Suisei's outfit debut in the next few hours is likely expected to give her a spike tomorrow.
>Gura buyers might be speculating a return stream coming soon, since she appeared in the off-collab karaoke and is scheduled to appear in HoloFES.

Kenchiro Yoshida wants to buy up as much entertainment property as possible. and he was the one who suggested the regime change, and Shuzo Sumi chairman of the board and nomination com (exec from tokio marine) agreed
they want entertainment companies and anycolor is on discount after trying to kill itself

>>71412620
But my point is that they HAD a vtuber group already, didn't make any effort to advertise them, and just cut them all loose.
Why cut a vtuber group loose just to buy a more radioactive one?

>>71411970
Holy shit. I have no answer to any of this. And I'm /here/ day 1

>>71412672
cryptic clues generally have a few parts, some parts are wordplay, and one an actual meaning

for example, "Maine fixed" is wordplay. "cartoon" is the meaning

>>71412660
nijisanji is a radioactive pile of shit but that shit is smeared all across japans entertainment scene, prism was just a dingleberry that got stuck to their ass on accident

HOLOBOARD

>>71412672
>>71412831
I should add, there's like no way to know what basically any of the rules around cryptic crossword wordplay are (and there are a few) unless you look them up or slowly get experience

But basically for the wordplay you should think of words in the clue that could in anyway possible reference homophones, anagrams, removing or adding letters, abbreviations, changing directions, I shoved in a spoonerism

That specific example is an anagram

Also I've never made a crossword, let alone a cryptic before. So some of the clues are probably a bit shit. Especially 13

>>71412660
Nijisanji is already settled, vtubers famous, it kinda works for now.

In the interest of not stepping on the toes of the "main" crossword too much (and also so that I don't run out of good ideas immediately), I made mine a bit smaller in scope. It's also kinda easy, which should serve as a nice consolation prize for casuls like me who aren't /here/ enough to know the more obscure trivia used in the big crossword.

i've decided to make a larger crossrrat that's a bit less reps-intensive. this definitely won't be a daily thing but it might be a weekly one. i'm too lazy to find a way to take a proper screenshot of it (the size makes it not very straightforward) or convert it to an image, so if someone else wants to do that feel free

>>71433757
I would buy, it cant fall any further, right?

>>71434041
It can, actually. It hit a lower price limit yesterday, otherwise it would have gone lower, probably will monday.

>>71433757
I believe it'll hit the limit again on Monday, potentially even Tuesday as well (putting the price at 1540) but on Wednesday it'll bottom out and start to push back up. Where it actually stabilizes after that is anyone's guess but their PE is lower and some investors may already be pricing in Q4.
Having a stock you have money in suddenly drop 25% and hug the loss cap is a pretty good wake up call to get some of the more laissez-faire investors to start doing due diligence. They're probably spending this weekend learning how bad it really is.

The ban she received this time was for reading user submitted 4chan posts and copypastas without very much censorship. The length of her ban is currently unknown but is not a perma, however now she is in 3+ ban territory any future ban could potentially end her time on twitch.

>Niji stock crashes, results are negligible
It's worth noting that for any casual readers that the JP stockmarket has a 700 yen cap on stock price changes before an automatic failsafe locks trading for the day, to prevent extreme fluctuations. Nijisanji stock dove 700 yen, gets locked on Friday. Stock exchange is closed Saturday and Sunday. So come Monday it's pretty likely the price freefall will continue.

>>71506446
unstable roster leads to erosion of fanbase. For the sister's bark they only give a shit about maybe 1/2 a dozen of the talents. So you have a whole bunch of 1-2 Finana shitters who need merchandising, the same amount of whatever limited managerial resources, art/promotion (except the last 2 gens for whatever reason). Then they're constantly trying to recruit to ACCELERATE which is a time consuming process as well. Then the cycle repeats. Also because management is a clusterfuck, shit is done in the most ass backward and retarded way possible leading to missed opportunities and poor morale.
Note I don't work for Kurocolor, I've been in companies like this where management and board got lucky with timing only to watch it all fall apart due to their ineptitude. Yes cliques did form and everyone was out to get the most they could before the shit really hit the fan.

Pipkin Pippa of Phase Connect partners with /vg/-born AI-based storytelling service NovelAI to showcase the newest version of their image generation feature
https://twitter.com/novelaiofficial/status/1768847031404269602

Pippa previously utilized this service during a November 2022 stream where she created the fake VTuber company FlaVR, which, due to interest from fans and aspiring VTubers, quickly became an actual talent organization with people taking on the roles of the AI generated chuubas

>>71551696
It's the amalgamation of all the niji rrats after it turned out they were real.

>>71557126
Alright, Vshojo is the escape plan for NijiEN talents. Once NijiEN collapses, most of the talents will move to Vshojo. Matara is a mole to test the waters as to whether or not NijiEN, more specifically the clique, will enter/orbit Vshojo. The clique knew that NijiEN was a sinking ship, so they sent Matara to Vshojo as their way /in/. The clique didn't anticipate Selen's Bullying coming to light. This has hindered their plan. This is why they are trying so hard to boost Kyo/Quinn because if he fails to get /in/ none of them will. This is why Kyo/Quinn is acting like he is a victim and is trying to gain sympathy from the public. This is why his first stream was shilled hard by Matara. Vshojofags know this rrat is real. It is a topic that is taboo in /vsj+/. Whenever Kyo/Quinn is brought up it is either ignored or only talked about at night time(NA time). It also didn't help the clique's plan when Froot stuck by Doki’s side as a friend and when Zentreya followed Doki on Twitter and commented once on her post, acknowledging her. Vshojo is going to turn into NijiEN 2.0 and the fans know this. Vshojo's future is not a bright one. In other words, once NijiEN is gone Vshojo is going to become the new laughingstock of the Vtuber industry, community, and this board. There's my RRAT.

>>71559335
Not sure I buy this. I figure most people don't talk about Quinn because he's an insufferable, petty twat that's a dogshit entertainer.
NEVER let ANYBODY forget that this dude asked for fucking leg leghthening because he couldn't take the moderately light-hearted short jokes.

Breaking news: Shylily's project has just been revealed to be a VTuber-themed trading card game. Shylily is live right now going into more detail about it
https://twitter.com/shylilytwitch/status/1769091307706732581
https://twitter.com/VCardTCG
https://www.twitch.tv/shylily

>>71559918
I bought Quinn up once in /vsj+/ and they defended him pretty hard saying the only reason people and this board hate him is because of "fake rrats," or because he said something about Koreans, or calling others who criticize him "Sayufags." Completely ignoring all the shit he has done. But only time will tell if my rrat is real.

>>71559993
>>71552331
>TWO vtuber trading card games
>We don't know how either of them play, really
>The core appeal is collecting vtuber waifus/husbandos
>Both made by literal whos with no record
I have incredibly low trust that these products will survive long-term. TCGs rely on their gameplay to stay engaging, and staying financially solvent requires them to release new cards regularly, which usually means powercreep. I don't imagine people will keep buying packs if their oshi gets powercrept or releases as a dogshit card, and if the gameplay is bad to begin with they'll just buy their oshi's cards and be done with it. At that point, you may as well just release Baseball cards but with vtubers, that list all of their stats.

>>71559993
More details from Shylily's stream:
>Trying to incorporate non-VTubers, people who play an important role in the VTubing community
>Nagzz and Tectone named specifically for "bridging the VTuber and fleshtuber world"
>Only people partnered with Gamer Supps are eligible to be cards
It is worth noting that Tectone is currently embroiled in controversy surrounding a nasty divorce with his large indie VTuber ex-wife Fream, being caught on video cheating on her with other female streamers as well as openly berating her live on stream
https://streamable.com/x0e4ga

>>71561445
I can see VCard coasting along for a while if they just bundle a card or two with each of their Gamer Supps products

>>71561893
>Including fleshtubers
There will not be a hardcore vtuber fan audience for this game.
They are pandering to casuals exclusively.

>>71559993
>>71561893
I hate to say this, I like Shylily but this is going to fail.

>>71561978
Unfortunately Shylily is very naive when it comes to the fleshtubing side of Twitch. She idolizes their culture and wishes she could "soft quit" like the 5view flesh streamers, her stream times and lengths being completely on a whim, doing what she really wants to do which is silently grinding in WoW. But what she doesn't understand is that these flesh streamers are miserable and constantly manipulating each other. They live in constant fear that the people around them, the people living in their home, only associate with them because of their popularity. Making live tweets about contemplating suicide, actually committing suicide, letting their friends sexually assault people and trying to cover it up. It's a fucking mess over there, and I'd rather not create avenues to let that kind of behavior spill over into the indie VTubing community if I can help it

Vshojo's Co-workers are unreliable. Despite trying to set up a collab Zen's Co-workers have ghosted her. This couldn't be because Zentreya followed a certain someone on Twitter and commented once on their post, acknowledging them. Right? Will Zen continue to have problems because of this? Only time will tell.

huh I would have thought doki was going vshojo next, is vox akuma dick so powerful

>>71394868
I personally believe he did this on purpose thinking his fanbase would laugh and call him "our adorable stupid idiot" again to farm impressions, because if you're genuinely asking, you would've searched it up on google and not ask on twitter with that kind of phrasing. Kuro's literally failing to own his 'retarded cute' personality these days..

>>71575832
>pretend to be retarded
>too retarded to do it well

>>71575262
A lot of vtubers plan their shit weeks or months in advance. This is a Zen problem historically, since Zen is very laissez faire about scheduling, and will at best plan shit a week in advance.
I wouldn't put much stock in this.

New Holostars EN gen supposedly in the works based on anonymous reports of audition callbacks.

>>71575654
That's retarded. Froot collabed with Doki quite literally a week before, and nothing is going on. They are just shit at organizing, and Zenhera is being Zenhera. Opening her stream, she's quite literally talking to Mouse

>>71575262
So, Zen is being punished and ghosted because she acknowledged Doki? Thats fuck up.

>>71576005
WHY
JUST STOP

>>71455322
Oh god he has those ugly collarbone shit that vox has on his 2nd model, this is the ugliest vtuber design I have ever laid my eyes on

>>71457251

YET, with how matara is shillinh him, it's not impossible

>>71576005
Pretty sure somebody spotted a ReGloss 2nd Gen advertisement at FES Expo, but I don't have the source image.

>>71576397
thats another thing no one asked for

>>71576005
Reps or fake.

>>71559335
>>71559918
>>71560818
I don't believe Vshojo is the kind of place to give much of a shit about people's past dramas. If people say X is bad then Vshojo and its community shrugs and says "we'll see for ourselves" and it usually works out fine. As for Quinn... just give it time. He'll get too comfortable and start up his irritable antics again.

>>71559335
I also believe this rrat
Matara was going to bring rest of the clique /in/ but the Doki situation ruined their plan.
I'm betting she will be shilling them to Mouse which is second in command after Gunrun
She will probably tell her that the Doki situation is mostly lies and it's just drama and the bullying allegations are not true, but she will be doing this few months from now on after the drama subsides
But in any case NijiEN is like Germany in 1945, they are trying to escape to Vshojo (South America)

The fact that for some period each time some corpo chuuba was graduating people on sites like twitter or youtube were saying they're going to vshojo probably also was a wake up call for the vshojo managment that even internet is thinking they are Niji retirement house which is why they slowed their onboarding process.
I am 100% sure once more Nijis move in they will form their own clique and the original members will be left out or better yet bullying will start again this time with vshojo girls
Letting ex Nijis in was a massive mistake, Matara in particular.
It's funny that /vsj+/ ignores the fact she was friends with the clique, I'm assuming it's just Matarafags doing damage control but each time this gets brought up they say she was also a "victim" of a management. Better yet after Matara went to Japan to meet up with the clique members AFTER the drama was made public they also did damage control for it

>>71576005
Oh that explains rpr sudden hiatus.

>>71578572
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>71578572
He just got a job to be a cc and a pr manager for an esports company in japan on january, he's not joining holo

>>71577896
Kind of true. I'm not implying that all of Vshojo is bad. They can be neutral, good, and bad. For instance, only Heyana and Mouse are currently collabing with Zen It's implied that other members are currently avoiding her i.e. ghosting her. Why? Who knows. Ultimately, this is based on speculative evidence. Nothing is definitive. However, it's still worth examining. No VT group is beyond scrutiny or speculation.

>>71578326
I'm not familiar with the Niji side of things other then what blew up and went viral, but on VShojo's end Projekt Melody is one of the founders of the company. It was her brainchild and she's the one who hand-picked the original members, as well as getting Gunrun and Mowtendoo on board to run the business side of things. I would be very surprised if the Niji refugees were able to get in between them

>>71584503
Think of it like WWE, the clique is going /in/ with a hostile takeover, fucking shit up, and then moving on to the next corpo/group. If you are a Vshojo fan you should be concerned. Look at what the clique did with Selen, they bullied her into attempting twice and she was one of NijiEN's top talents. Like snakes in the grass the clique with lie in wake. Waiting for the opportunity to strike. Much like most Bullies, they will pretend to be your friend and that's where it starts.

>>71562830
Vei is dating Sodapoppin, Ironmouse collabs with a ton of 5view fleshstreamers, Onigiri does cooking collabs with many big fleshstreamers, Chibidoki collabs with many fleshstreamers, GEEGA has gotten close to many big GTA RP streamers, JaidenAnimations became a vtuber, Aethel, Shylily, and Filian are close to many OTK streamers, the barrier between fleshstreamers and vtubers has been eroded to the extreme on Twitch.

>>71575262
They're all playing Helldivers 2.

My rrat wasn't meant to shit on Vshojo. That was not my intention, although I came off a bit "memey." My rrat was more of a warning to Vshojo fans. The clique is dangerous.

That's the thing about being independent VTubers: they're all independent from one another. Almost every example you listed those chuubas have gotten criticized for those associations, and their actions don't extend to the network of 3views and 4views that take up the bulk of /lig/'s attention

And when I say fleshstreamers, I'm mainly referring to the Austin clique, the people that are attempting to become "old media" by ratifying their fame with award shows, high budget productions, corporate dealings, and scandals. Those are the people that are the source of a majority of drama, the ones that are constantly losing control and trying to pull one over on both their viewers and each other. Moriko and Nina collabed with ZFG, that was fine. FangGuu collabed with Rocco from Mega 64, that was fine. It's solely the people who fell upwards through life into 5view territory who don't know how to control their fame or even themselves, it's those people that are going to end up hurting our chuubas in the long run
