VTubers

During a period of 2+ years, Cover:

• Made contractors do extra work (e.g., extra revisions), without sufficient justification (as per contract terms), without providing additional payment for that extra work.
• Had late payments, including some payments late by over 300 days (!!).

In response to the guidance received from the Japan Fair Trade Commission, Cover:

• Will cease their heinous criminal activity and follow the rules now.
• Has resolved late payments, with interest.
• Will attempt to rectify processes / training / etc that lead to the situation happening.
• Will check if there are any other oopsies.
• Will tell everyone they fucked up and what they've done about it.
• Will report back to the Commission.

There was a long rumor that the reason she didn't quit the company when everyone else was quitting was because she was trying to outlast the company and retain the IP. She's the companies top talent, so the fact that there were willing to sell the IP to her really doesn't look good for the longevity of the company. They now only have 3 of the 14 talents they had signed.

I've held a theory that she's independently wealthy and could weather the bs. She's mentioned having her own manager that she pays directly a few months ago, which is really weird for an agency vtuber to have.

Thought it might be interesting for someone since she did a karaoke a week ago and sounded… familiar, you know.

You maybe asking, "Why did she make this?". The answer is, "Beats me.". Seeing it's been 10-20 years after she cheated on husband while he was deployed in Afghanistan. All the document did is to remind people she she cheated on husband. So GG Froot.

Also you have what she did during Hogwarts Legacy boycott shit show. She said, she was going to donate the money to a Pro Trans organisation. But she didn't.

Announcement Video

I went to the Hololive Breaking Dimensions concert. Here is what it was like to see VTubers like Gawr Gura live.

Hello! I'm a small time vtuber who moved to MX Linux a while back. I use a 3d model, and while I was able to get my model working, with the help of my husband (even better than windows actually,) we cannot get my hand tracking to work.

I've used the ultra leap on Windows with no issues. On the same PC, I tried to get it working on Linux. I use MX Linux (xfce), and the system is up to date. I know that the "Gemini" software only officially supports Ubuntu 22.04, but Ubuntu is Debian based and so is MX. So, I gave it a try. The program installed fine, and it seems to work normally. The device seems to be connected, and I can view its output through the web cam viewer.

However, the ultra leap Gemini program can't find the device. I'm far from a Linux expert, but I tried all the program's terminal commands that I could. I think what I need is to point the program to the device ID or something, maybe. Does anybody have any experience with something like this?

We also tried the older version of the program and that didn't work either. But I remember less about that. It was all terminal based I think.

I use OpenSeeFace and VSeeFace as my tracking software.

Any tips or trick I could try?

This might be considered drama, but I thought some people might be interested in an update.

March Wayback Machine listing.

Current List.

For those out of the loop, back in May, FalseEyed broke a story about MSM. Right after that, several vtubers shared their own stories about dealing with the CEO and his bad behavior.

Just afterward, Aethel made two statements. The first one saying that he's talking to HIS laywers. The second announcing his departure.

Since then, the company has been shedding talents. I assume more are just waiting for their contracts to run out and want to leave quietly.

According to Krimbo, the MSM CEO is largely responsible for Takahata101's burnout last year. It will be interesting to see who shows back up in the bar now that Taka is back.

Edit: Another four dropped since I posted this. GhostySaige, Nagzz, RPR and Vexoria.

Most of the open drama is happening on Twitter, which I don't use, so I can only relay second hand info. MSM's Director of Talent also bailed yesterday with the support of exMSM talents.

Edit 2: and the talent page is empty. Some back and forth going on on twitter.

Edit 3: Falseeyed's coverage of the msm fallout.

Shondo's tweet about it, nitter / twitter.

As of this posting, she's still in the prep/warmup room. She previously went viral for her "The Troubles" lecture on Saint Patrick's Day.
