Oh wow, never expected to see these two again.

I love m k's art, it's so... soft.

Samedon

^heh, you said "cum"

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Alrighty, I think that's all I need to ask then. Thanks for all the info, everyone.

I tend to play at my own pace, so I'm not too concerned with being efficient at farming or whatever, but are there any pitfalls I should know about in advance?

Other than USE YOUR RESIN, not that I can think of. Game's thankfully devoid of newbie traps. Also Condensed Resin is your friend because it cuts the number of times you need to run Domains and whatnots by about half - those start getting pretty tedious before long, as such things are wont to.

Glad to hear it, I've been using my resin up whenever I play so I guess I've been doing that right at least. I'm still figuring out what, exactly Domains are all about. They seem like dungeons, basically? Also that, uh, spiral abyss place? I did three floors of that and it seems like it's just a gauntlet of challenge fights.

Is co-op worth bothering with? I've been itching to try it but I'm a little bit concerned I'd end up accidentally griefing people, so if there's any etiquette that isn't immediately obvious It'd be good to know. Things like loot sharing and other common points of conflict. Or if there's some strategic element like team comp or somesuch. Also how do people agree on what to do? It seems like things are pretty open ended, but I assume Domains are probably a pretty common objective in co-op?

In terms of gacha, if you plan to play F2P like I'll be doing, is the way to get currency (fates or whatever) just through spending primogems at the Paimon store (or whatever it's called)? I assume all the basic "gacha strats" apply. AKA, save your shit til there's a banner with something you want and then do ten-pulls. Are the weapon banners worth doing though?

Apologies for the endless barrage of questions. I've been having a lot of fun and I don't want to fuck it up. :P

So I just started playing this several days ago. It seems pretty fun? Definitely wears its influences on its sleeves. I just finished the first story questline thing with Stormterror. At the moment I'm just sorta screwing around and doing side-quests.

This is the first gacha game I've played that I actually kinda enjoy, so I'll probably be sticking with it a while longer. I'm not gonna be spending money on it for now, but if I find myself enjoying it for a long time I'll probably pony up a little bit.

edit: also FISHING. HELL YEAH. I joined at just the right time.

Oh hey, I recognize this. It's from a Lumine x Amber flowership AU fanfic. Once and Floral

Looks like Keqing's hair is caught in something. That or she has a really bad case of bed-head.

Just smelling your pals, as one does.

from the tweet: "ah yes. me. my girlfriend. and her 3 foot long shark partner."

My girls...

These two are criminally underrepresented in fanworks.

Read this again. Still don't like Akira.

Akira didn't get enough time to become likable, so I can't blame you there. I so badly wish this had gotten just one more volume.

Chikami Tako

Tachi Kamika

FUN

so uh...

wtf is this?
I think MangaGamer made english vtubers out of the characters from that incredibly cringe-y "Go! Go! Nippon!" visual novel... and I guess they're going to stream Kindred Spirits on the Roof?

I can only really ask one thing: why?

An adult molesting a highschooler? Good thing it's yuri, that makes it okay. /s

^yes

"I must be Russian, 'cause I can't live my life without you."
-Daiwa proposing to Vodka, probably

So, she's a product of the American educational system. Specifically, Texas. -_-

Forget the education system failing her, This woman had to grow up in bubble or a monastery, or something. I learned more accurate sex information from my friends at school. Hell I think my 6yr old nephew knows more about "where babies come from" than this woman.

And it's not fair to single out Texas, like that. There are plenty of southern states that have just awful education systems.

Everyone knows where babies come from. When a mommy and a daddy love each other very much a stork sends them a baby assembly kit in the mail. smh my head.

Ah yes, EULA, my second favorite character after TOS.

Kiara and Nyanners did a Clubhouse 51 collab!

That was a teetee gold mine. Like holy moly.

Depends on if the chart is about relationships, marriage, or sex. It's always worth remembering that legally speaking, Japan doesn't recognize anything but coitus as "sex".

Which is both totally wack and explains a lot.

How funny would it be if Coco and Kanata were in an actual relationship relationship, though? Like, how do you tell someone "no, you're not allowed to live with your girlfriend"?

...There's no actual rule about that, though? They have an agreement that anyone they bring to the house has to be Hololive-related, but it's not company policy or anything

I didn't mean to suggest that it was, I just thought a hypothetical scenario like it would be pretty funny, that's all. Sorry for the confusion.

I caught the very tail-end of this stream, it was great.

Coco addressing whether her archive is going away (it's not) and if the other members mentioning her will be forbidden (it won't be). Her twitter account will also remain open, though I assume it won't be seeing any use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuHEyf3HawY

This doesn't quite answer whether she'll continue living with Kanata, but we don't even know if she wants to. If she stays there we'll probably know at some point just by her being around Kanata. It does beg the question of how they'd treat their relationship. I guess that she'd just be "my roommate" or somesuch, without referring to her by any name (though everyone would know who she was talking about anyways, so it wouldn't really make a difference), but there's also the off-chance that she'd still call her Coco. But, in the end, whether she does or does not stay isn't really our business.

Well. This is both unexpected and terribly sad. I'm going to avoid speculation about why she's leaving. There's no way to know what it is without her telling us outright, and for all we know it could be something very personal, so I'd like to respect her privacy.

Coco is unmistakably the most significant reason I found myself falling into the VTuber rabbit hole, and I'll miss her greatly. I'm going to try and stay positive, because I owe her a debt of gratitude for all the positivity she has brought to my life. Without her, Hololive EN might never have been born, and without Hololive EN I'd certainly be in a worse place than I am.

My time on this wild ride has given me inspiration and motivation. If it weren't for Coco's hard work, and the work of all the other members of Hololive, I would most certainly have continued to be stuck in the rut I'd been stuck in for the last... too many years. Seeing Calli working tirelessly for her goals, I found a resolve in myself that I'd never felt before. I was sitting in bed one evening, agonizing over how I haven't done anything with my life, how I haven't been doing anything to do better, and just feeling like a piece of shit. Then I started thinking about how hard Calli works and the success she found from her relentless drive. It was like a light bulb went on all of a sudden. I thought to myself, "Calli got where she is because she didn't give up, so you know what? I'm just going to do it. I'm going to start working on the things I've been wanting to do, and I'm not gonna stop until I do them. To hell with feeling like I can't do anything. I don't care if it kills me, I'm going to do this or die trying."

Everyone in Hololive EN has given me something precious. Kiara radiates energy and happiness and positivity in a way that never fails to make me smile. Ina has such a soothing presence and subtle wit. Gura has that infectious energy and cheery demeanor. Amelia... ground pounded my mom?

But above all that, finding Hololive has given me something even greater, something I was missing, and had been missing for a long time: a community where I feel like I truly belong. None of this, any of this, would have been possible if Coco hadn't provided a bridge between that world and mine. I can't thank her enough. I'm very sad to see her go, but I can only wish her every happiness in the world and the best of luck from here on out.
