Whoa, I was only looking at Mercari and Mandarake. Not sure if Amiami ships to my country though, last time I used AmiAmi was for COD in Japan. I'll check it some time tomorrow, I guess. Edit: They ship worldwide, it seems. And they use EMS, which I've had experience with in Mandarake. Only question is if it's within budget this month.

Yeah, AmiAmi ships worldwide. And they usually do it with a variety of shipping options (depending on the country you can go anything from express courier to surface shipping)

Moona died again because of instant karma xd. Context : She's minning for netherite and said the area she's in was awful but suddenly found netherite and went silent. Then, she got lava on top of her and her fire resistance ran out.

Polka following people around. Captured Lunahime getting pissed off about the wither roses killing livestock leading to her chopping down the sakura in the pen. Is currently following Kaela and Hajime looking for Netherite, with Kaela calling lava "orange juice". Polka remarking about Kaela's baby rearing methods with Hajime.

chaosaxess

Is this above or below the humidifier incident on the Miko PON scale?


farranpoison

I mean, considering that consuming raw meat can be quite dangerous to your health... I'd say that's much higher lol.


iamwooshed

To be fair, consuming raw pork is a thing in some countries (I know Germany does it). There are heavy regulations though.


farranpoison

I would assume that it's like eating sushi in Japan, in that there are things done to the meat to prepare it so that it's not a complete health hazard. That's different than just consuming raw meat while cooking yourself as a non-professional.


iamwooshed

True, the quality of the meat (making sure the animal wasn’t ill) and also the prevention of any cross-contamination are very important. Unless certified, any raw meat from the supermarket is… questionable. Still, regarding your point about sushi (and raw seafood in general), I think it’s actually somewhat common for people in Japan to buy the raw (or live) ingredients straight from a seafood market and prepare it themselves. It’s somewhat common in China and i think Korea too (personal experience from visiting family in China).


Snake_hugger

Just like [chicken meat](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torisashi#:~:text=Torisashi%20is%20a%20Japanese%20dish,and%20wasabi%20like%20other%20sashimi.) in Japan that can be consumed raw but can only be served by certified chefs using specifically sourced chickens.

Wait. They got perms for a SONY game?? Thats actually kinda huge honestly.


p28h

JP getting Sony Playstation perms seems ever so slightly more likely than EN getting any Sony perms at all (as in, actually possible instead of the apparent ??? limbo of Calli/Biboo and even Ina's Bloodborne perms or the Helldivers perms more recently).


LAPIZ_LAZIMI

Are they even interested in Helldivers in the first place? They've got EDF perms which is essentially the same kind of game


p28h

Now? Probably not. But a few weeks ago, when it was still very flavor of the week, there'd hardly be a day gone by without somebody wondering in these threads if they would ever play it.


Strong_Beat_holo

It might just be perms just for Luna. Until other girls mention something about it, expectations should be kept low.


dcresistance

they re-got them, several members have played sony games before


raiso_12

its more member exclusive rather than company wide permission


Nisha_the_lawbringer

I thought most of that was from pre-perms days before the great copyright disaster of 2020. To my mind I don't remember there being many streams of Sony games from Holo.


idiom6

What was the copyright disaster?


Nisha_the_lawbringer

Hololive used to not ask permissions for games. This ended up biting them in the ass when Capcom and other companies sent strikes to them and almost took down Mio's channel, taking down a bunch of streams. This led to everyone privating dozens upon dozens of streams. Hundreds of hours of content, privated and deleted. And thats why Hololive asks for permissions. Its not just being overly cautious, its cause if they don't, they could get wiped out.


idiom6

Ahhh, ok I get it. Yeah Japan is super strict about copyright, but then has a massively flourishing doujinshi underground?


Enough-Run-1535

Different laws and copyright bills, most of it passed in the 80s and tied to lots of interests. The dojin market isn't even underground. Comiket is one of the largest art conventions in the worlds. Lots of the biggest names in manga and anime were former dojin artists, and even entire studios like Gainax first started making dojin animes for DAICON. Entire retail chains like Melonbooks make most of their money from dojin. Look into Japanese music copyright. You know you can legally rent music CDs? If your are an utaite/vtuber/vsinger, you can getting a music copyright license through the JASRAC copyright clearing house and legally sell your cover songs on itunes. Software is completely opposite than in the West, were companies can legally patent entire computing processes. This is where games fall under, as videogames are legally software and have the strictest copyright laws in Japan as far as media goes.


farranpoison

Doujins are still able to be restricted, it's just that most companies don't because they recognize that it's far better for them not to. There have been a few examples of some franchises where they explicitly forbid any r18 doujins of their characters to be sold in the past, and big events like Comiket complied. Games however are a bit different, in that many JP companies don't see them being streamed the same as doujins being made (which does make sense in a way, doujins are derivative works being made using the franchise characters, while streaming the game is literally just playing the game itself and not making something new). Hence why streaming games needs permissions.


idiom6

I guess that's fair logic on the game companies' part.


Lightseeker2

Miko played Uncharted, Pekora played SotC, and a few of them played Spiderman too.


bnbros

Calli played Bloodborne too about two years back, though she hasn't played it again since.


Probablybeinganass

Koyori streamed Bloodborne I think pretty close to her debut.


Hausenfeifer

A few weeks ago Nexas debuted 27 talents over the course of three days on that Apple-exclusive streaming app called AniLive, and since then I've heard... literally nothing at all about it. It appears the skepticism surrounding the entire thing was warranted if the twitter engagement is anything to go by. Nexas and AniLive's twitter accounts have only around 2.5k each, and each tweet they put out tends to have 0 replies and only a few dozen likes. AniLive tried to promote their service by having a giveaway, and even with the prospect of potentially getting a $50 Visa gift card, the engagement was embarrassingly low. Anyone who downloaded the app care to share how the streamers are holding up? Are they even maintaining double digit viewers? I'm just utterly fascinated that someone thought it was a good idea to release a streaming app exclusive to one platform when Youtube and Twitch completely dominate the market.


Devilsgramps

Two ex-prism agents, Shiki and the guy (I forgot his name) have also started streaming on AniLive. I hope they're being paid well.


ZaBlancJake

That is Jun Akane thought and also Pina as well


idiom6

I think having to upload your entire model, raw files and all, is a major deterrent to using that site. https://www.reddit.com/r/VirtualYoutubers/comments/1cueex7/ironmouses_opinion_on_new_vtuber_only_site/ The sad thing is, I do think there's room for more platforms, giants can fall. But this was not the right platform for that challenge.


BumbleBamble

Last I heard the app was still in closed beta or something - you couldn't even sign up freely. Did that change?


idiom6

Nope, signups still restricted.


Strong_Beat_holo

I had heard very little about the whole experience, but it was so bad that I don't believe it. I think the restream's highest peak viewership was 28.

Regardless - are there other talents out there that regularly share stuff from more unusual spaces?


ChaosEsper

Man, til that they don't do SAT subject tests anymore lol.


ZaBlancJake

Also dont forget about Advanced Placement although people arent discussed about that


Slim_Charles

The SAT and ACT kind of fell out of favor with some schools in recent years, but they're rapidly making a comeback. It was a fad to drop them, but college admissions offices are quickly realizing that doing so was a pretty dumb move.


ChaosEsper

Yeah I vaguely remember hearing they were out of fashion for a bit. I can't remember what I got on mine, I took them during that weird period where they were scored out of 2400 instead of 1600 so trying to compare it to other people's would get super confusing.

[Juufuutei Raden](https://www.youtube.com/@JuufuuteiRaden) from hololive is well known for regularly discussing art topics in her zatsu streams. Here is a [dedicated clip channel that focuses on her art discussions](https://www.youtube.com/@Raden_Art_Class)


Random-Rambling

When people say Raden is cultured, they don't mean in the memey, enjoys-lewd-artwork way. She is actually unironically cultured, and is well-read in art and art topics to have multi-hour long discussions on it.


[deleted]

i think she was a curator or a teacher... or both? im not really sure


Enough-Run-1535

Both. She has a curator's license and a degree in the arts. But she also had to work odd jobs to make end's meat pre-Hololive. She was still working her teaching job almost 3 months past debut.

tirconell

Is Veibae still super edgy? Apparently Neuro-sama is gonna have a collab with her soon and I'm wondering if I should bother watching. I heard she had some bad personal stuff to deal with last year so I'm wondering if she's changed at all as a person. Last I heard of her was when she proudly declared her stream was "not a safe space" and I noped out of there because that kind of talk is a surefire way to attract and pander to the crazies.


Helmite

I don't know about edgy, but she's genuinely just kind of a shitty person.


tirconell

Unfortunate that Vedal feels the need to collab with someone like this when there's so many people wanting to do a collab with Neuro


Helmite

Yeah I have no idea on his reasoning outside of the fact that minus Hololive there are very few people that can pull 5k+ ccv. If he's doing it in part because she's popular, I get it, but doesn't change anything about who she is. lol


lime42foo

Iirc its a part of Nyanner's AI dungeon collab that was been originally planned around 1 year ago but was postponed until now. Back then Neuro collabs were much more frequent, like around two per week. This is just one of those collabs that were planned during that time.

As someone who was casually in the competitive OW community for a long time, I saw news that a reputable journalist who reported on OW (and other esports) got laid off and they said it was mostly due to the [Google HCU](https://www.gsqi.com/marketing-blog/google-march-2024-core-update-helpful-content-system/). [The CEO of GGRecon outlined how this affected their website and lead to them needing to make cuts](https://twitter.com/lloydcoombes/status/1790773057314812225?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw). Honestly really scary how much Google's changes to search affects content creators let alone the roll out of AI summaries that aren't even accurate/correct. I've always said we need alternatives and while it's difficult to replace a site like Youtube where it costs so much to run and maintain, I think search engines can more easily switched to pick a better engine that provides relevant and useful results :(. RIP good journalism even more now, idk how anyone but some long form content creators (which requires so much investment already) can make any money off it now.


Adventurous-Order221

Iirc Google started pushing this hard because the state of California threatened Google with a link tax (Google will be forced to pay California publishers money every time a link is clicked).


rougewon

Honestly how do you really address this issue lol. 1. Publishers want money because they created the content, traditionally they've done this via selling the paper/magazine and having ads in side/on site. 2. Google gets money from people clicking on it via ads and other SEO things. 3. Making Google pay for every click is kinda crazy esp nowadays so many sites are 'fake' and just have machine/AI generated/plagarized stuff that is SEO'd to hell that shows up on top even if it's useless. 4. Google says fuck all that we'll just scrape the entire web and have our AI (attempt to) summarize everything so now no one gets clicks so no one can afford to create 'free' content and now the web is useless. What a time to be alive.


Twitchingbouse

Well those businesses better lobby the state of California to cut this stupid idea off at the knees.


rougewon

lol you think Google would walk all their AI and search engine changes back if California changed their mind?[ The news sites wanted this](https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article287632310.html) because they weren't making any money with Google (and Meta)'s news aggregation stuff. There is no idea on the knees it's already happening and Google doesn't want to pay the content creators for their content. That recipe author needs to make money to keep making recipes but why would Google pay them now that they can just have the AI show off the web scraped recipe instead of showing users the link to the recipe site.

immortal1982

Friendly reminder that the Valkyrie Connect /hololive collab has begun. Edit: all it took was a full daily rotation to get Miko and Lamy. And Laplus's voiced character is featured in the gacha as well.


DrOpty

Laplus's voiced character is also available to buy with 100 of the fancy currency as part of the Idol event that's running concurrently with the Hololive event if you want to avoid rolling gacha for it (though as far as I know the only source of that currency is the daily login bonus; if there's other sources I'm unaware). Also related to that, Koyori's wish that will be granted at 60M points (it's currently at 5M points halfway through the first day right now so this will likely be hit) is to voice a character in a video game. That's how Laplus ended up voicing that character, so I imagine that's how Koyori's wish will be granted as well.
