Hai, everybun! I'm kait and I stream a variety of creepy & cozy games. If it's a combination of the two, even better!
I stream on Twitch Tues, Thurs, Sat & Sun. I hope to see you there sometime, I love to chat!
About the manga/anime piracy conversation..
im sorry if im remembering wrong, but didn’t animation become popular there due to stuff like Disney?
Who does it benefit to be so staunchly anti-consumer- especially to an audience that so desperately wants to spend money on this hobby that they’ve spent buttloads of money going to conventions and importing Japanese goods?
i feel like the conversation on twitter is ignorant on the culture and love for the hobby that made anime/manga popular in the west in the first place
I'm not sure how well known this is, but if you need game logos and/or official backgrounds for thumbnails, you can just grab them from Steam with full quality and transparency by just going to your Steam folder!
@succbees I've heard a lot of creators' numbers have been worse around this time of year
Please don't feel too discouraged. Take care of yourself the best you can and keep creating, I'm sure your audience will find you again soon 🩷
I've been thinking about this recently, but when do you think it's time to commission a custom vtuber model?
At certain milestones- eg. one year of streaming, two, amount of money made, or just when you're ready?
My first year of streaming is coming up and I keep wondering, will transitioning to a custom model help my reach at this point?
I'd love to hear others' opinions! 🩷
@Van1llabeanzz unfortunately, i don't think it's only a vtuber problem.
people have discovered there's a looot of numbers in selling people the solution to their problems.
Learning to draw? Here's how to art gooder! Views are low? This ONE THING is destroying your algorithm! etc etc

@obakepam THIS HAPPENS TO ME TOO!!
I also use stream element’s multistreaming plugin which completely bugs out my YouTube stream for some reason, so it always feels like a spit in the face when it’s on by default daily, aughhh
@rosiebellmoo I see a lot of people saying, “at least the stream won’t get interrupted by 3 minutes of ads,” but do you think it makes a difference when there’s multiple warnings beforehand?
I personally use the 3 minute ads to take a break, use the restroom, drink some water etc!
when i first started streaming, i let a bad joke run its course for like 6 months before shutting it down and i'm so glad i FINALLY did
there's always the fear of coming off as "too sensitive" or "can't take a joke", but it seriously protects my peace to have boundaries in place during stream.
putting your foot down is so brave and i really hope your community backs you up on this 🩷
for those that may need to hear it, please try to be kind to small streamers. Not all of us have massive communities and wide social media reach. Some of us just like to sit down with a game and yap for several hours
It's me, hi, i'm the one who likes to yap
What? Your chat badges are evolving! If you’ve already earned the Pichu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle Chat Badge, just watch 20 minutes/day for 3 days of any qualifying content to earn the evolved versions!
it's so interesting how when you're a vtuber who's also an artist, it's like you're your own biggest fan.
i'd love to see other artists' fanart of their personas!!
@Chaimarra_ yeahhh that's what i was dealing with. don't stress about it too much, if you reinstall, make sure to back up your OBS settings and profile! i'm sorry SE is so buggy ;-;
@melfinadarling i personally deal with bad headaches, allergies, fatigue almost daily so i get this. Remember that you set your schedule and hours, so please prioritize your wellbeing!!
that being said, i chug medicine and take fat naps lol
