[dapper gazelle]

-# (i don't mind, if anything i want to see the chaos that ensues)

[north siren]

but it's a slice-of-life comedy and also literally in the OP so I think I'm in the clear there

[iron quail]

wasnt there a vtuber anime tho?

[north siren]

tbf there are a lot of "idol anime" that I have not watched because it's a boring genre I'm sorry

[lucid python]

Yeah that one about a vtuber academy or some shit that totally wasn't supposed to be Hololive and then something about Kizuna Ai disappearing?

[iron quail]

yeah, "Vtuber Legend" is the name

[gilded nest]

My waifu is an idol so I have very picky tastes

[north siren]

was it any good?

[lucid python]

I did not watch it

[iron quail]

only Idol anime ive seen is OnK really

[lucid python]

I hear it was mid at best, though

[iron quail]

didnt watch it, but i know that the vtuber, and her irl design, are the EXACT SAME

which is a choice

[north siren]

apparently Crunchyroll has this and honestly it sounds like perfect "filler anime" when I'm not up for anything that deserves my full brainpower

[cold plover]

You’d be surprised by how true that can be

[iron quail]

you could take the vtuber knowledge you learned from here and utilize it

[cold plover]

I think agencies like Hololive kind of typecast based off of general attributes like height, personality, etc for characters. All of their kusogaki talents are actually tiny in real life

And I’ve seen people get models very similar to their actual selves like obkatiekat

[iron quail]

I mean like, the mc straight up cosplays as her vtuber model even when not streaming

[gilded nest]

I love your use of kusogaki here

Ixrec, is it fair to localize kusogaki as chaos gremlin

[cold plover]

Kobo Kanaeru only weighs 36kg in real life

Tiny Indonesian woman is tiny

[north siren]

yes

[gilded nest]

[north siren]

well, in a context where it's being used as a personality archetype and not the original insult

[gilded nest]

Probably depends on the type of kuso/chaos they are up to

[north siren]

the streams are crossing

[sharp adder]

I'm kinda surprised at how much the global release of the game made umamusume blow up, it was always very very popular in japan, but I always thought the somewhat niche nature of it made it so that most people outside japan wouldn't really care for it because it's so specific, but I guess that's not really the case and it just needed a global release for people to actually care and get into it

[north siren]

Mori is so not used to horse names

[lucid python]

Oh y'all have to see Axel Syrios' Daiwa Scarlet rant

Man is cooked

[north siren]

it's also possible (well, IMO exceedingly likely) they've been monitoring the overseas interest in the anime for some time to help decide if the expense of localizing all the game content would be worth it

[north siren]

is this from playing the game? IIRC Daiwa was never a major character in the animes

[lucid python]

Yes it's from the game

Axel seems to have had quite the experience lol

[north siren]

Daiwa Scarlet
[...]
Grandsire Sunday Silence

oh my god all these horses are related, it's starting to feel like how the Skywalkers are the only family in their galaxy that ever matters

anyway the fun fact that's more relevant to this channel's interests would be that Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka were irl rival race-mares; the overwhelming majority of Uma Musume are R63'd stallions, to the point that I'm pretty sure that's the only rival irl-mare duo in the franchise

[iron quail]

I heard from here that they have an accessory to a certain ear to show what gender the horse theyre based off were, I forgot what each ear is for which tho

[north siren]

it was left ear for irl mare and right ear for irl stallion, though a lot of characters have accessories on both ears or in between so it's not always obvious how to evaluate that

[lucid python]

Saba's model is so fuckin smooth and expressive

I feel like she demanded she have a damn good model after... well, her previous 1.0 was far less than perfect

All the movement reminds me of Shylily

[sharp adder]

It looks pretty similar to a lot of indie vtubers' models in terms of expression and movement, I weirdly feel like Hololive is kinda behind on that for some reason

I'll say the model is really well done and very cute but I personally really don't dig the moe loli aesthetic but I don't wanna rain on anyone's parade here

I think it's pretty ballsy that she put a lot of little details on the costume that resembles the other fish too

[iron quail]

she def looks a lot younger than gura

[iron quail]

Ive noticed this too for a while, its very strange

[lucid python]

Yeah she seemed to take the Gura aura with her, down to the sea-creature theme

[north siren]

huh, are her ears synced to her eyes?

[iron quail]

I at least know that Okayu had her ears connected to her eye brows so she could wiggle her ears by moving her eyebrows

[lucid python]

It seems so

Ears perk up when her eyes go wide, ears go flat when she closes her eyes

[regal abyss]

Saba: playing RE4 "Is this game scary?"

[lucid python]

No, Saba, the remake of the fourth in a series of critically acclaimed horror games is not scary

[north siren]

admittedly, it is famously where the series pivoted more toward "action horror"... but still

[regal abyss]

"This game came out in 2005, maybe you weren't born yet. Oh god, that's a scary thought. That's scarier than this game."

[north siren]

lol the original was probably my first horror-ish game

[regal abyss]

Same

[lucid python]

What she has always been the queen of is killing dead air and idle banter

[sharp adder]

It's kinda funny that I can track how old I am based on the year date that my favourite horror game came out on

it's not re4 btw

[north siren]

ok, I'm curious, let's actually watch a bit of this for once; being a game I'm super familiar with helps too

"Are we in Spain?"

ok tbf this is probably the first part you can pick up on that if you didn't know from a plot summary

[sharp adder]

I find it fascinating that despite the mainstream success and popularity the same phenomenon as in the 2000s occured where a bunch of people started with RE4 and didn't really play anything before that so you get those kinds of questions about what's going on but because RE4 is a surprisingly self contained story you don't really have to know anything other than Ada and Leon kinda had a thing of sorts and he's a cop

[regal abyss]

I actually never played 4. I did the first three, that's it.

[sharp adder]

honestly that's pretty good, the first three are still the best trilogy and the best quintessential RE experience in my mind

original three that is

[lucid python]

Ah and there's her signature scream

[gilded nest]

I'll probably watch it this weekend

[iron quail]

Wonder how frequent her steaming will be in this channel

[lucid python]

Today's will make 4 in 7 days

Though she did just debut and will want to establish herself before settling into a routine

I mean you can't get much more established than 1.13m mere days after debut but y'know

[north siren]

granted Saba just mentioned she's played VIII and 2RE before, so 4RE's not her first

[iron quail]

A bunch of holomems played VIII when it came out, Gura included

[regal abyss]

Okay, that scream is adorable.

[north siren]

I had to see if the remake tower tricked her and it did

ok I feel much better about my performance in RE4 now

[lucid python]

Remember streamers sometimes have what is known as "streamer brain" where the fact that they must mind their streaming software, chat, etc. may keep full attention away from the game and cause them to miss things in exploration, miss story elements or plot points, or be less performant than they otherwise might be.

[regal abyss]

TIL I have streamer brain.

[north siren]

oh I'm well aware, I've streamed games before

[regal abyss]

oh god, she accidentally vaulted out the window.

[sharp adder]

I've already felt that when sharing a game with one person let alone trying to keep up with a fast moving chat, trying to entertain people and focus on performing well in the game

[regal abyss]

Yeah, it's hard to keep up the patter & be interesting while playing.

[north siren]

mm-hmm, you definitely don't want to play hard games on stream unless you're already familiar with them, or you won't have the brainpower to properly digest the game's unique mechanics and will then likely fail to enjoy it as much as you would've otherwise

[gilded nest]

see: arin hanson playing any game made after the year 2002

[north siren]

I did some Nine Sols boss practice here on stream a couple times, but that was loooong after I'd completed the game, and was under no illusions of setting a new PB or anything

[gilded nest]

Except Portal, he's randomly good-ish at that

[iron quail]

You did reach phase 3 (or was it 2) for the first time on stream for the Eigong level 0

[north siren]

technically yes, but I also did way better on my own later lol

[iron quail]

Fair

[lucid python]

Aki and Roboco are in Austria visiting Kiara https://www.youtube.com/live/TV99ZsKHTqc

They will review breb in 9 hours

[lucid python]

Y'know Mumei hasn't come back like the othe--oh yeah that's right

Biboo mentioned Mumei and I thought about where she's been and remembered she's not back because she literally can't be

Fuck whatever health thing is taking her voice

Saba's controller prop is tracked, so it moves whenever she actually presses stuff, a step beyond other props that are just kind of there or have random animations to give the illusion that it's live

[north siren]

oh, I didn't notice that when I was watching

[lucid python]

Yeah she introduced it at the beginning of the stream

(She took 20 minutes to start playing because she was yapping)

[gilded nest]

I can't wait to watch through this later

I can put it on while I work on invoices tomorrow

I watched her play the tutorial first hour, it was very entertaining.

Bae is almost 90 minutes late for her stream. Again.

It is suspected she is sleeping and has not been woken up by her various alarms. She had a bout of this for a couple streams in a row some time ago and it was apparently concerning enough for her to go to the doctor. I hope whatever was causing that has not reared its ugly head

She also may have set this stream for the wrong day

yeah true, I hope she's not owed a bunch of money too

[worn gulch]

Holy fuck VShojo is dead

[worn gulch]

I guess only Henya and Mel

But for Mel I am pretty sure she own at least part of VShojo something like that

so idk

Yeah she is not ok

she pretty much built this company, being the first one etc

[regal abyss]

Oof. Sounds like whoever she hired to handle the money... ran off with the money.

[regal abyss]

Okay, I've not followed her, but that video nearly made me cry.

[worn gulch]

this is just straight up evil

Literally stealing from sick people

You need to be really fucking evil to steal from charity

[worn gulch]

I truly dont even know who is worst now

[cold plover]

CC whenever she gets out of the water by kirbyotaku

[storm heath]

Hell yeah, happy for her

[cold plover]

That's awesome!!!!

[lucid python]

She has apparently been in a relationship since pre-Hololive

Peeked in /r/okbuddyhololive which is about as vtuber delulu as I care to peer into and people mentioned that... and also that the vtuber board on 4chan is losing their shit but unironically

[iron quail]

yea i figured ppl will be offended by this

[lucid python]

I wonder if she'll update her model to have a ring

[iron quail]

thatll be amazing ngl

[sharp adder]

some guy that has never actually even spoken to this woman and probably doesn't even live in her same country and never had any chance of even being friends with her is probably thinking ''how could she betray me like this'' right now

[lucid python]

Saw some posts. Some of these people are cooked

[sharp adder]

that said I'm now thinking about the possible future where she has a baby (if she'd ever want one) and the visual of her doing the ''uuuu'' thing with the baby is pretty adorable to think about

[twilit viper]

Reminds me of that "scandal" some month (or a year?) ago about how some japanese guys found out a very cute weather/news lady was either married or in a relationship. There's audio clips of a discord where these guys are lamenting about it and it's, well, screaming levels of 'how could she' etc

[sharp adder]

It's funny whenever it's a meme like Fauna leaving for a second and saplings completely freaking out and in shambles but then when you see someone that actually for real is like that you realize how insane it really is

[lucid python]

"As someone that’s never had a girlfriend in his entire life and is getting dangerously close to 30, this only makes me feel worse. I have always dreamed of marrying the love of my life and starting a family. I likely never will due to bad looks and autism and overall being a total failure in life"

Like come on

[sharp adder]

Real talk those types of people are really draining to even interact with

I feel bad for people like that, but when you take pity on them and you try to interact with them and help them you realize how they're in a hole they created for themselves and no matter what you even try to say or do they just deflect all of it and refuse to do anything about themselves but still lament that they're the way they are

[lucid python]

Yeah I learned long ago to not crawl in the hole they made for themselves

[sharp adder]

It actually reminds me of the similar attitude people would have back in the late 2000s and early 2010s where they'd lament that nerdy chicks just don't exist and no girls are ever into games or anime, but then you see how rabid they'd get around a girl that shows even passing interest on nerdy stuff and you realize why those girls probably didn't want to interact with them at all
It's still happening today where gamers and otakus get super hateful whenever a woman is involved in a conversation especially a public-ish figure like a streamer, and then you realize why they usually never have girlfriends

[iron quail]

the self-deprecating does not help either, it rly is a toxic feedback loop

[lucid python]

Also confirmed some DEEP lore that I had suspected:
||Some time ago I saw a Moona stream where she was interrupted by a toddler entering her room. She said the kid was her nephew. I long thought that it was possible it was her own kid and it looks like I was right. Girl's married with a kid.||

||Mentions of her brother are also thought to be mentions of her husband.||

[twilit viper]

Ah, looking at it, it was a newslady that was kinda treated like an idol, and she was in a relationship with a tennis player, and she essentially got cancelled and removed from her job because the situation caused a dip in the company's stock price

[iron quail]

||if that is the same brother who she said was a fan of her before finding out who she was, that would be an interesting new perspective ||

[twilit viper]

Even Connor got contacted by his lawyer

...and Ludwig goes nuclear

[lucid python]

I love these two bits of vtuber news make you go "Oh damn" in opposite ways

Nimi's getting married!
"Oh damn!"
VShojo is impoloding for very bad reasons!
"Oh damn!"

[iron quail]

its been a pretty turbulent past few years for the vtuber community

[lucid python]

More deep lore I'm learning:
||Reine is married, AZKi apparently recently got engaged||

||Learning about Reine threw me for a loop because I had her pegged as one of the ones who's actually legit gay not just for the yuribait||

[twilit viper]

Oh god damn. Kaho also going nuclear. Unclear if this person is related to this situation, but looks like someone at vshojo was for lack of a better word, a giant twatwaffle

[regal abyss]

[twilit viper]

Indeed.

[worn gulch]

One I am pretty sure has a kid is || Korone, she once streamed her ipad and had a bunch of kids apps on it ||

[worn gulch]

||I also remember a clip of Korone idly singing something that she'd only be familiar with if she had spent significant time around an elementary school kid. Commenters pointed that out and she played it off as something she randomly heard.||

[torpid rampart]

I remember being in /jp/ when a little after hololive english || And the amount of shit people found of their "roommates" on the whole gen just a mere week after their debut was mind boggling, and seeing slowly overtime that start to leak out more and more into their mainstream audience ||

Hope they can reunite again in a new company or something

Because most of them need a company, for anonymity

All the charity funds was in VShojo hands so mousey would never be exposed for example

[regal abyss]

That is terrible financial management.

[sharp adder]

I go to bed and wake up and Kson dragged the CEO of Vshojo on stream and quit in front of him and then Projekt Melody also quits afterwards pretty much disbanding vshojo

What the fuck happened

[dapper gazelle]

[iron quail]

Money that was supposed to go to charity was instead hoarded by Vshojo management, now that the jig is up, vshojo very well might not exist by the end of the year

Oh god. So Connor posts this regarding the fundraising going on, which is cool.

However... there was an event where a progressive broadcaster is debating 20 far right conservatives. One guy (also named Connor) in particular went viral for the shit he said, and subsequently got fired for it. A news channel on YouTube i think talked about it and said how this other Connor raised 26k after his firing.

But the newscaster implied Cdawgva-connor's comments were about the OTHER Connor rather than the immune deficiency foundation fundraiser.

They quoted it with just text, not the screenshot

Imagine having a contract sign for OVER 2 YEARS IN A COMPANY

and not being being able to WORK ON THE COMPANY

[north siren]

at this point why would any vtuber even sign up for an agency

it's starting to sound like that statistically guarantees you get abused and go unpaid and all around have a worse time than staying indie forever

[twilit viper]

Because in many cases they start out well (investor money) and give talent a leg up and industry access/connections they won't have on their own. Slightly different now with how prevalent vtubers are but it's still an uphill battle for a completely fresh face

[north siren]

so the meta strat would be joining an agency for the shortest possible timeframe?

Get agency funding, establish fanbase, leave with the money the fanbase

Haachama without her chara voice. She has decided to use her real vocal register now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvwMsT_m5f8

[storm heath]

ooh that's surprising

[lucid python]

She announced she was doing this as part of her continuing journey as Haachama. She is getting older (relatively, she's among the younger holomems being 17 when she started) so she'd like Haachama, or a personality of hers, to reflect this as well.

[storm heath]

that makes sense, probably easier to maintain as well

[lucid python]

Yeah of course that, too. Gotta preserve the voice. Suisei and Flare also did voice changes like this

[sharp adder]

Everytime I come across a clip that's like ''Subaru accidentally uses her real voice'' I always end up thinking that's how they should be talking all the time anyways

[iron quail]

oh thats a DRASTIC change, did not expect that

[sharp adder]

But that's just because I can't really stand the fake cutesy anime voice, not when someone has a cutesy voice but when someone puts up the voice

but also also for their specific case, I think it's just unnecessarily hurting themselves because as it turns out forcing a specific voice for a long time is gonna mess up your voice eventually

I think the only one that does that that I actually like is Calli because she always does the anime character intonation voice thing ironically and I actually find it funny and endearing

[lucid python]

She famously tried to do it seriously for all of 3 minutes at debut and gave up, explaining that she was gonna go at it for a few minutes and if she wasn't feeling it drop it immediately and explain what she did

[iron quail]

calli somehow makes me think of Applejack who's voice gets deeper thru the seasons

[sharp adder]

https://youtu.be/8LlJNbDOw5s?si=qvSHrCAcw4t-mnY9
also speaking of voices

Calli has a very pleasing voice for that sort of disembodied voice giving you instructions thing she does here

like a plane stewardess giving you instructions of what to do in case of an emergency type thing

[iron quail]

hmm she doesnt rly sound like calli to be honest, tho that calli laugh was spot on

[sharp adder]

I also don't think she sounded like calli that much

but it's a funny clip anyways

Maybe the mic quality from the other end makes her sound more like Calli than what we hear directly from her mic, like how Source games mess up your mic sound quality

The laugh was really weird it was like Calli possessed her body

[iron quail]

could be mic stuff, tho im not sure what game theyre playing

The other day I saw a clip where Biboo apparently references some TikTok meme about saving 50 pounds and I for the first time felt that feeling of "what is this child saying" because I genuinely didn't know what it even was

man I regret not learning german when I was a kid now, the school I used to go to would offer german classes after the school day but they were optional and I'd always be too lazy to want to do that

I probably wouldn't have been super proficient in german but I would've gotten a bit of a headstart if I wanted to take it seriously later

[regal abyss]

I may have to follow her, this is great.

[regal abyss]

I made it through German 201 in college before hitting a brick wall with the grammar rules.

[sharp adder]

I'm so lucky that I learned english the way I did, like most people who speak english in south america apparently from what I've seen, just purely absorbing little pieces of knowledge since you're a child and when you're an adult you somehow learned english

[regal abyss]

Whereas I screwed up learning English here in the States. I started reading at a very early age, so by the time I got to school I jsut... didn't study. I could answer the tests because I inherently knew how sentences were formed, so I never learned what a "past particple" was.

Which meant when I tried to learn a second language I was screwed.

[sharp adder]

Kinda feels weird for me to imagine trying to learn a language now in a different way through books and... reading

[sharp adder]

I don't even know about all that stuff in my native language, I used to, I actually liked literature classes, but I can't imagine trying to learn a language like that at least for me, not gonna pretend like I'm smarter than all the other people who know how you're 'supposed' to learn a language of course

[unkempt oar]

I did 4 years in HS just to avoid the college version.

[north siren]

tbf I didn't learn most of that terminology myself until I was learning Spanish and then Japanese

and then it turns out half of the linguistic terminology we use in English is just not how the other languages work anyway and it ends up being almost misleading

[iron quail]

How did you go about learning Japanese?

[sharp adder]

Sucks that japanese is the one language I'm interested in learning and actually use daily because it's by far the hardest one I could think of learning, the easiest would probably be portuguese, I'd probably have the easier time learning that but I don't really use it much and actually putting the language to use is a major help in learning

just being able to understand and read and listen to the language daily already is pretty helpful

[iron quail]

I'd like to learn Japanese, tho I should really focus on improving my Spanish and habe that be the priority

[north siren]

on the other hand, learning a language to the point of fluency, where you can read a book or watch a show without constantly looking up every other word, IME is roughly similar difficulty no matter what pair of languages you're jumping between

starting from English, it is harder to learn Japanese than many western languages, but the parts that are harder are extremely frontloaded in the first few months, and after that it quickly gets dwarfed by the grind to build up enough vocabulary

[north siren]

(I don't have a quick answer to this prepared and don't feel like writing a giant essay right now... unless you had something more specific in mind?)

[iron quail]

for a more specific question, I was wondering if it was mostly self-taught or moreso got lessons/other people teach you

[north siren]

ah, mostly self-taught

often using guides and books written by other people, but I wasn't getting any real-time direct human help

it also helped that I'd taken quite a bit of high school Spanish by then, so although my Spanish still sucks, I had learned what is and isn't effective for me personally

(I never did the vocabulary grind for Spanish fluency)

[iron quail]

I see how long would you say this roughly took?

[north siren]

I usually say ~2 years to get to the point where my Japanese was useful in practice, and I didn't have to actively grind to maintain it any more

these days just watching anime every so often is plenty to keep it from going rusty

[cold plover]

The origin of the "LIVE REACTION" thing is insane

it came from tucker carlson

[north siren]

at least for me, the real practical value in grammar jargon is being able to explain an issue to others learning the language

sometimes it's good enough to just present good and bad examples, but sometimes the pattern just isn't obvious to anyone not already fluent in the language, and you have to articulate why the good example sounds good; that's where abstract terminology becomes indispensible

[cold plover]

people mocked him, then it became live slug reaction, it then became broadly diluted, and here we are now

[north siren]

like it's easy for me to say that 'ganbaru desu' sounds like you probably meant 'ganbarimasu' and that's probably sufficient

[lucid python]

ERB protects her kingdom 😤

Context: Twitter, being the hellscape that it is, exploded after Liz's 3D showcase for 2 reasons.

1. She did a song with the guys from Holostars EN Armis
2. In the background of one of her sets, there was a drink dispenser with many flavors, one of which was "Unicorn Tears," referring to an actual drink that exists, but unicorns, the term for vtuber fans who believe female vtubers should never interact with male vtubers (more prevalent in vtuber corpos) thought it was making fun of them, because of course they did.

[neat oar]

And in classic fashion, they went ballistic, right? By "ballistic", I mean getting nasty quick.

[lucid python]

Unicorns go ballistic if a girl breathes mere knowledge of existence of a guy in real life. The pronoun "he" is a curse word to them (not really, I'm being facetious).

The rage induced when Nimi Nightmare announced she was getting married, if harnessed as energy, could ignite the main sequence of a star

[iron quail]

I didnt know Unicorn Tears was a kind of drink, I wouldve thought that was a jab at the antis bc my brain has been rotted by vtubers

[lucid python]

Because ERB has been unabashed from the beginning at interacting with the Holostars people did think that it was a jab because as she's got history as far back as tweeting with them pre-debut, she must know they're out there and is clearly unconcerned enough to continue despite them. She did clarify that it was not a jab at them, though.

In other news, our wife can't count

[iron quail]

whoa, 13 nonillion subs ???

[north siren]

I've never heard of the Unicorn Tears drink and did not remember "unicorn" had this weird vtuber meaning

that is a funny coincidence though; was that a new set for the collab or has it always been there?

[magic current]

It's based on the mythology that a maiden must be pure to ride a unicorn

So it's not out of nowhere as a term, but unicorns in vtubing are very annoying

anyway have saba sounds, courtesy of snoozingobake

[magic current]

Dungeon Soup did a sketch based on that. Kevin is the GOAT

[north siren]

ah, this implies the rest of us are "bicorns"

[sharp adder]

you know when you see some random guy posting about how their oshi is so beautiful and has the best voice and that they loved this one 3D concert or whatnot?
I get it now

sorry for the erb spam I just saw that one performance again just now and something about it scratched my brain a certain way

[lucid python]

ERB spam is worth it

From her debut I was glad to see her active again but from what she's said in some of her streams Holo is really helping her achieve lifelong dreams of hers, so as good as it is for fans, it's better for her.

[storm heath]

yeah, I'm happy for her

[sharp adder]

I happened to catch a clip of that performance and it really caught my eye, she's got a pretty strong voice, I heard that was the case but I hadn't really had a chance to hear it until now
It also caught my eye how much fun she was having with the 3D, she's really... gyrating, and bouncing all around the place

I mean, if that's her really dancing anyways, I still don't know if sometimes they may switch to a mocap actor/dancer but I guess that wouldn't make much sense if it's supposed to be an entire stream dedicated to showcasing the 3d

it's a much sillier and carefree attitude than what I was expecting from first seeing her but maybe she was dialing it in a bit more for this stream or something, or maybe she really does act like that all the time and I just haven't seen it, I still don't regularly catch up with all of these vtubers

[storm heath]

yeah, there's way more content than one person can reasonably keep up with in full

[north siren]

I still don't watch any streams directly. The clips posted here are the right amount of it for me, especially with all the other activities competing for my free time.

[lucid python]

Oh she does act like this all the time. The personality her design suggests and how she actually acts is quite a gap

[north siren]

I feel like I've heard that about a lot of vtubers

how often is it actually a match?

Gigi's a pretty close match

All of HoloEN will now have played Umamusume

If the ones that left us were still here:
Ame would probably not be too into the gacha element but would absolutely be into stat min-maxing and would figure out the training mechanics very quickly. Might have long grinding streams.
Gura, by stark contrast, would probably mostly ignore actual stats and training but would pull a few times for cute horses. Maybe only a couple streams.
Mumei is famously a horse girl, would likely be quite into the game but not a hardcore grinder.
IIRC Fauna isn't too into gacha stuff and might do a stream just to join the group and get a favorite horse but would probably only stream once.
Sana would also grind quite a bit but also aggressively stan her favorite horse.

[north siren]

if everything else in my life were deleted and for some reason I was streaming... I'd probably play this just to ramble about game/anime differences and unlock more of the flavor text/character dialogue
