I was out for like 5 minutes... thread got archived very quickly...

>>18085772
Board's exploding again.

I LOVE OMARU POLKA FROM 5TH HOLOLIVE GENERATION

>>18085772
Maybe it's better to wait until the wave passes.

>>18087820
This thread usually survives most times that the board goes very fast (Coco's graduation and Mori's most recent drama for example), it usually gets archived early when the thread itself is new. We'll be fine!

>>18087286
I hadn't been keeping up with anyone other than Polka for the last month or so and I really didn't expect the board to turn green like this

>>18098273
It is about yab in today stream, stuff like this is always sudden.

>>18098537
I don't know what happened and I don't even care to find out. I keep myself quarantined in the pol thread these days.

>>18098273
At least its better than pink

time to hide in the polka thread until things calm down, the only safe haven on this board

Since people are taking refuge on the thread, time to post a nice playlist to keep everyone entertained.

Polka valentines soooon

No Polden this week?

Sorry to break the safe haven of this thread, but morbid curiosity is getting the best of me. What would you guys' reaction be if it was found out that Pol lived with her bf all along, and room-sharing with other girls and being a raging lesbian was just a lazy attempt to cover up any potential yabs? The signs are always there, after all, if you want to actively look for them.

For me, the answer would be continue to watch anyway, but spend way less time/emotional investment on it, especially at her menhera episodes.

>>18146939
I guess they are still getting back into the swing. The three week lockdown really messed things up schedule wise. Hopefully it will be back next week.

>>18146942
If your new, and don't know her history on NND, then you may have conflicted feelings. But if your a old fag or know about her history then it's nothing. The drama that the others experience every week on /vt/ is like old hat for Polka.

[Spoiler] It's well known she has a large group of male and female online personalities as friends. She has done irl collabs and streams with them before she started her vtubing career. She was known to always do vod projects with this one guy she was good friends with. People thought he was her brother or bf. She is also friends with Roberu and have been in roommate streams with them together in the flesh many times. There are streams of her hanging out with countless guys who do cover songs while they are messing around in some seedy looking recording studio. Anyone of these things would cause the board to melt down several times over. And yet she decided to leave that life to focus on a career of being a Idol instead. I think her menhera personality probably stems from being around all the hot guys but never being the one they wanted to bang. Thus poor Pol is left with the cute lesbians she lusts over and has been using chat as her substitute bf ever since. I hope she gets well and eventually find her happiness because irl girls are only till death at best but waifus are forever. Something that zoomers aren't taught these days. [/Spoiler]

>>18146942
you haven't been burned enough then.
GFE enjoyers know on some level that all girls are whores. Which is why we get some separation with 2D and enjoy the girlfriend "Experience".
Beginners often confuse GFE with having an actual girlfriend, just like how some children think wrestling is real well into their teens.
GFE enjoyers know on some level that it's all a show. But if you suspend your disbelief, you can enjoy the experience. As long as the veil is not pierced too much, GFE will live on.

>>18148397
I always thought it was more like she was turned into a slampig and never had a real relationship and moved to lusting for women, kinda like a Miko thing

>>18148603
This, too many young men don't realize this until they watch what happens to their friends or have it happen to them eventually. GFE gives you all the benefits of the experience without the baggage. That's what people mean then they say 2D>3D.

>>18148862
Either rrat leads to the same situation we have now. Just depends on what you believe was true.

Why is she so smug?

Polka, can you remind her which songs are left from the list?

>>18149219
Hard to say.

>>18149229
I lost track of most of them, but I think she ended up canning some songs, since Cinema wasn't on the list. Here's the post with the initial list
https://www.youtube.com/post/UgzXDXYV_Ga08MJRWB14AaABCQ
I hope she releases her new song on her youtube channel though. Or another cover. Or a Karaoke. I just want to hear her sing again man...

>>18149547
I'd swear an MV for Persona was mentioned at some point, plus it fucking slaps so I really hope it gets the views it deserves

actually seeing the human ears feels very dissonant to what I've been used to so far (figuring there might be human ears in the hair but never seeing them). fennec ears ftw

>>18157114
It's so forgotten neither Haachama not Nene even remember it.

>>18146942
Honest answer? I'd still check out her content, probably remain a member too because she's a riot.
That said, I'd probably not check out her ASMR stuff anymore because at that point it'd just feel... weird.
Like having a friend who's overly friendly and clingy who you know is in a relationship with someone else.

>>18158275
jesas, that looks like a cutesy alt skin you'd get for a character in an anime fighting game. very cool

>>18163393
Surely even if she was actually able to stream 8 hours of ARK every day like Choko did it would only hurt her numbers in the end, and I do understand that being able to play doesn't mean being in the state to stream, but it still feels wrong.

>>18163725
It's her "healing game" turned into full blown addiction (again), which will likely lead into severe withdrawal later on when she has to work or stream or practice instead of playing. You know how mmo junkies are, it's no different here.

>>18153679
Honestly the the main draw of VARK was the VR itself.

Two more voicetweets. It funny how she understood that most fans won't give a shit about ark streams, turned to writing an ark diary instead, and then even that got forgotten.

>>18163725
>>18164487
Honestly I'd rather have Minecraft than Ark but I know that's just me because I have a preference. It's cool for her to have a de-stress game but I hope she finds a better-suited way to relax or even to avoid getting very stressed in the first place (which probably won't happen because of the amount of work she does).
Hoping that pressure in the next few days treat Polka nicely! She does deserve a break.

Hey omaruza, I was thinking about how it might be a good idea to save all of Polka streams/videos/posts (probably including member-only content too) to be future-proof. Also, since we already lost her muse dash videos, it might be a good idea to do it now rather than later.
I was thinking of doing similar to what some VOMS fans made (https://nyaa.si/view/1346753)) for a retired member. Considering that it includes around ~206 videos and it takes up 184.5GiB (at 720p) and Polka has ~611 videos, it might take up some serious space.
What do you guys think? Would it be a good idea to put in motion? I might have to buy an extra hard drive to do this but it would be a cool idea.

>>18176528
You'd be leaking member-only content like that, unless you hold that until she retires someday.

>>18176882
That's a nice idea, to hold her member-only content until she graduates and everything gets inaccessible. Her previous works suffered from something the likes of this, luckily some content was able to be saved.

>>18176528
Currently ~800Gb including some cameo streams like todays Peko ARK, all 720p30 vp9.

Thicc Pol to the maximum jesus https://twitter.com/kazuya_zoey/status/1492222414213705728

>>18176528
Taking for example Coco, if Polka ever gets a graduation I doubt it will end in bad terms, meaning that all of her videos end up being privated like that VOMs member. But Cover also decides to first take action (hide videos) and only then announcing, giving no time/chance to save videos. Maybe starting with a small scale of first compiling her deleted muse dash videos would be enough for the moment, and only after it seeing if it would be feasible to save the rest of her catalogue.

>>18176528
Take a look
https://nyaa.si/view/1361620

It's always good idea to store what you hold dear, and it indeed should be done before something happens, not after.
You would want to decide on formats, quality and naming scheme and keep it for all the data. All the work, including torrent updating if you want to have it. should be done by script running on schedule so you won't forget to do it. If one day you have to share it, you'd want to be able to run a single command and be done instead of taking time dealing with torrent uploading for the first time. It's also good to make sure you will be able to actually seed it.
Single 4Tb external hdd should be around the price of single akasupa and will lasts for a while space-wise, but you'd normally have a second copy.
Membership content should go in separate torrent. It's much less, about 25Gb in 720p vp9, and there are already some, though not complete, torrents on nyaa. Nobody saved community posts as far as I know.
Youtube does ac1 to vp9 conversion after stream ends, so I ended up normally downloading each stream twice: archive version after post-processing is done, and live version as emergency copy and to actually watch myself while VOD is processing if I miss stream start.
If you need help setting up scripts or with yt-dlp/ytarchive arguments, you can ask here or in hololive thread on /t/.

Valentine soon will we get a mengen ASMR or something along that?

>>18183248
Making cake in ARK.

>>18176528
Why would Polka graduate?

>>18183702
It's not really a matter of why, it's a matter of when. Probably not in the next month or year, but eventually, she will decide that she's done enough for her time and decide to peacefully graduate. Worst case scenario, the yabbening[patent pending] eats Cover alive and she's forcefully graduated. It's not her first rodeo, you know. Even considering that she worked for a black company, things come to a close eventually.
Either way, I believe it's a good idea to be making an archive for when the moment comes. I'm going to read /t/'s hololive archives as >>18180984 mentioned and look for a good way of doing this. Also, since Hololive doesn't just have membership content that ends up being unavailable, it might be a good idea to also save some of her voice-packs. Only being released with member-only content when she has graduated, of course.

>>18183702
It's not if she graduates, its more about if some yab somewhere else happens and it forces cover to remove some videos due to Pol unrelated issues. Even when Pol graduates, the old vods will likely still be there.

>>18176528
Have been storing all Pol vods and clips I can get my hands on since end of 2020. Although I only did it so I can listen to her voice 24/7.

>>18167508
Yeah, I'm glad she found some nice way to unwind, but I keep wondering if she's been overdosing on it. Also, I'm not sure if I'm bying into "perpetually busy" narrative given these stats, though to be fair it's still below 6 hours per day in half of the days, and some of these are actually on-stream

Ragtag shows it has 584 videos from Polka Ch. so if the number in >>18198392 is accurate I believe only the mush dash stream and the Micra janny (?) stream is lost.

>>18199938
There's a fair amount of lost polka content. Not many streams though, usually it's only for a few moments until another member gives her directions.

One ark stream back in late 2020 I think got privated too, she overreacted to chat or something.

I might buy the biggest drive I can find one of these days, I MUST ARCHIVE EVERYTHING ASAP

>>18204554
Is that when the antis were spamming that she's too loud in the chat?

>>18213527

>>18210185
Before that. I think the story goes that she punched back and went over the line, then got disappointed with herself and privated it, but I didn't see it live so can't confirm. Don't really want to dig back to find it either.

>>18201680
I believe Polka didn't stream when janny incedent happened. There was a bunch of clips from this stream and none of them linked her POV.
Lamy POV got privated (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrLQA10EB5o)), but Shishiron's is up til now

When are they fucking?

>>18224502
It happened in early days of Gen 5
>Aqua tries to recruit Botan, Lamy, & Polka to join her construction company
>Says it's a job that they can be proud of and tell their children about
>Some how reveals Marine is working for aqua as a janny for 20 years
>Girls mention that just being a janitor is not a job you can feel proud to tell your kids about
>Polka does improv skit where she is the kid asking the parent what they did for Akinken. And the parent answers awkwardly.
>Girls then says she feels bad about the promotion prospects if Marine is still a janny after 20 years
>Lamy laughs hysterically the whole time on her stream's perspective
>Out of context clip is uploaded to NND
>Jannies rise up!!

The infamous clip
https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm37612822
Since it was Lamy's perspective, she took the brunt of the heat. Polka was just talking to Botan and Lamy in discord and was not streaming at the time, thus there was never a Pol perspective but some jannies tried to ratio her videos. They failed. Botan got away scot free.

Also obligatory FUCK JANNIES!!
