Corrections
>A previous round-up mistakenly stated that "SO87" was the name of a song. It's the name of the artist. The song is named "Ice Cream Machine".

Notes From the Desk
>"Small Corpos" has been provisionally renamed to "Other Corpos". This is primarily to help better represent JP talents that are backed by companies, but have foggier ties to the company. Calling some of these companies "Small" felt like a misrepresntation of the facts, hence the rename. Regional Representative and Brand-specific vtubers will still typically fall under the "Other" category. Vtubers that operate as indies with a management company will still fall under "Indies".

As always, no speculation, drama, or dramatubers.

>they actually showed the ratio on stream
Oh wow

What kind of retard put that up, hell there's a whole fucking slide for it

Claude didn't JUST FUCKING ASK for a break and is now suffering from overwork

>>75398859
The retards at nijisanji, for whom uploading an MV on Christmas is a firing offence but giving their audience instructions on how to Jaeger bomb themselves is a okay

What wrong with mixing energy drinks with alcohol? red bull and vodka is common around here. some even spike their coffe with vodka.

>>75399270
Alcohol is a downer while caffeine is a upper, mixing both of them masks the effect of alcohol and makes it easier for you to over drink because you don't feel drunk.
And it's especially bad in this case because they are recommending a 1:1 ratio with fucking soju which has an abv of 20-25% so if you're a clueless teen who straight dunks a can of ASAP and a bottle of soju you've just consumed 8 Jaeger bomb shots in a row, feel totally fine, and might go for another bottle

>>75399270
Caffeine is a stimulant. Alcohol is depressant. This means that the caffeine can mask the effects of the alcohol, so you can end up way more drunk than you think you are and in fact, depending on the ratio, can end up with a dangerous level of alcohol in your bloodstream before you even realize that you’re drunk.

>>75399270
>>75399685
Not to mention that about 30% of japs don't have the gene for the enzyme that breaks alcohol down and as a result are super lightweights that get shitfaced from just a couple of beers so you can imagine what happens if they drink the equivalent of 6-12 shots in a sitting

>>75399270
https://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/fact-sheets/caffeine-and-alcohol.htm

>When alcohol is mixed with caffeine, the caffeine can mask the depressant effects of alcohol, making drinkers feel more alert than they would otherwise. As a result, they may drink more alcohol and become more impaired than they realize, increasing the risk of alcohol-attributable harms
>Drinkers aged 15 to 23 who mix alcohol with energy drinks are 4 times more likely to binge drink at high intensity (i.e., consume 6 or more drinks per binge episode) than drinkers who do not mix alcohol with energy drinks.

>>75396817
Sisters attacking the company. it's not Nijisanji adding alcohol that is dangerous, it's the drink itself, according to sisters

Just listening to our cute local horse girl stream. Somehow, mike cat's DM was leaked

It wasn't "leaked", one of the mixers Mike contacted to produce a song decided to publicly roast her instead of renegotiating and got slammed from all angles for being unprofessional. This of course causes Mike to go menhera again

IRIAM, a VTuber streaming app, plans to do a launch in the US on Fall 2024

>VTuber streaming app
I recommend releasing it in a closed alpha that you can only download by first downloading a separate app, then using that app to download the alpha version. At least, that's what /brg/ tells me.

>>75403313
Another one? Whatever happened to nexus?

>>75404157
NTA but Nexas uses AniLive which is an alpha app basically copied from IRIAM/REALITY AFAICT. IRIAM already exists in Japan and is more featured.
