          	Most of them are my oshi's. 
          	
          	My favorite Hololive EN: Talent, Ina.
          	
          	My favorite Holostar: Gavis Bettel.
          	
          	My favorite designed Hololive EN member: Shiori
          	
          	My favorite JP talent: Roboco-san...
          	
          	And I also had my birthday on the 5th of May...
          	
          	May is just a good month man.

Fun Fact: I was born on this day 21 years ago. Crazy, right?

Well. There goes the shark.
          
          
          What's happening in Hololive, man?
          
          Opening your business up to the public really is the worst possible thing you can do, huh.

@TheGastlyGarden I agree with your take on the idol stuff. I can really get how tiring it can be and the streamers just wanna do what they wanna do, but are kinda trapped with the company.
            
            And MCN's are pretty much like Hololive, but with YouTube channels in general instead of vtubers. They were more popular back in the day in early 2010's, and they promised being able to work with a big company that would "do a lot of the hard work for you," but they always ended up being really annoying and restrictive to deal with, and a few of them ended up just scamming creators (look up Game Theory's video on how it happened to them). And I feel like these vtuber companies have a big resemblance to the MCN's of old, just for the modern day.

@Shopnil4 I'm not aware of MCN's (MCM's?). 
            
            I will say that companions (especially ones that are open for public funding, aka the stock market) are very... dicey. A lot of investors are more interested in making money than caring about talents or workers.
            
            I do think a lot of the talents that are leaving don't like the idol side of being in Hololive. Sure, they might like singing, but being an Idol is much more than that.
            
            I mean, Vesper (one of the Holostars) talked about his time in Hololive after he left, and it basically came down to "The job is stressful and not for everyone."
            
            I think a lot of the talents that were in hololive are just tired of being idols. I mean, on the EN side, at least I've noticed that the people leaving are more streamer than idol.
            
            Fauna said one of her main reasons for leaving was the fact that she didn't like singing all that much.
            
            That being said, there is a chance that the higher-ups or investors are trying to make the company lean more towards the idol industry.
            
            And when you're a public company, the share holders usually matter more than the CEO and employees.
            
            I will also say that for the EN Hololive talents that left, I believe I have been in the company for more than 4 years.
            
            A lot of them are probably just wanting to do something new. The "Honey Moon Phase" has ended.

@TheGastlyGarden These vtuber companies are just like MCN's and now they're starting tk show how they really are, just like MCM's did :(

I've been trying to get into Guilty Gear Strive, but man, my ass is just too slow and casual.
          
          I'm too laid-back and can't string together combos.
          
          It sucks cus it's a fun game, and I want to get good at it, but I'm just not built for competitive games.

TheGastlyGarden

@TrapMaster20 that's what I'm doing too, lol. The characters were cool, so I got it.

@TheGastlyGarden same for me, but I don't play it because I want to be in the competitive aspect. I just like it for the characters

Monster Hunter Wilds... I thought I was done with you, yet you suck me back in to hunt my 30th Tempered Arkveld.
          
          I already caused a localized extinctiom of Xu Wu, Odogeron, Rey Dau, and now Arkveld.
          
          My Insect Glave has been doing over time, and Lil' Buggy has been stealing monster essence to the point he has become king of the pirates.
          
          I learned Charge Blade, Lance, and Gunlance, and while I haven't mastered them, I can use them to finish a hunt of Tempered Arkveld in under 10 minutes without carting, with lag. 
          
          (I grew up playing on shit PCs, so I'm used to compensating for lag in games)
          
          Please, Monster Hunter, let me free!
