My friend made a habit of copying gibberish text after he's done pasting or before he does anything sensitive so that he doesn't accidentally paste something nobody should have seen

Forge an ID, break the law.

windows capture? 🙂 sure

Animation industry has always been very rocky. Most animators (and artists) don't stay in the industry for very long due to how terrible the industry is (Long work hours and low salary). I think if there are more avenue for people to show case their animations and a chance to be professional indie animators, it might bring revival into the industry.

She still wrong. LLC in Wyoming and New Mexico can stay 100% anonymous. You only need the info of a registering agent. There are companies that provide this service for LLCs. And you can use a ghost LLC. So a ghost LLC in your state and add the anonymous LLC as a member. The ghost LLC can be hidden under a private trust. If the ghost LLC is never used for anything and ONLY the anonymous. LLC is the frontman for everything, It would be VERY hard to connect to to the ghost LLC. All of this is just to hide information. In the end its will still be passthrough Taxes so the feds will always have your info tbh.

Best you can do is make an LLC and tie it to a Trust (for California specifically) then have someone own the Trust who isn't you. But alas, that requires trust but it is the best option to stay anonymous because signing to a talent corporation is just that exact same thing.

Remember the massive crap show around Rushia/etc for just one friend ping in the corner of her monitor.

Have a cloud of dummy accounts, multiple studios, and a couple body-doubles in case.

You can setup a 501c4 to a PO box.

I've been vaguely aware of Geega for a while but never really watched her outside of seeing her in collabs from time to time. Props to her, she seems very thoughtful and articulate. I might need to start watching her stuff more.

I've got display capture for a few things but its zoomed in enough that the menus are off screen. Like one game I've been playing only runs at 420p so I have to zoom in so much that it only shows 1/4 on the screen. Other than that and my writing streams I use window capture.

Basically make yourself a needle in a haystack rather than a needle in a pincushion if you want to make it really hard for people to find you.

6:12 While you're here in the comments and if you have a discord you should check your connected accounts

The only way i think this would work is if you opened a company in alberta canada using a po box and onoy ever give out your lawyers contact info

Alberta canada doesn't have this

Journaling helps me. After I do a hike or a session at the gym, I journal my mood, my feeling, my thoughts. I journal when I don't do those things or skip those things, and record my mood, thoughts, feelings. The results became obvious that I had better moods and feelings when I hiked or did the gym. Even if I was resisting and not wanting to do it, all those negative thoughts went away when I committed.

"don't be a vtuber" is genuinely good advice. just start streaming! if you like streaming, everything else can come afterwards

As a fatso, i had 2 moods. Hungry and full. They say never excercise when hungry. But when i started exercising when full, i had diarrhea. So i said screw the tips. And exercised when hungry. I did that for 2 weeks, And i gained a new mood. "Peckish". I can now feel the space between hungry and full. And i exercised when i am peckish. And now i no longer get diarrhea from exercise.

I've been a lazy bum until my 20s. gym memberships i just mostly just walked on the treadmill. Gave a nearby crossfit a try and that just worked for me, been doing it for about a decade now. For me the class structure works. The high monthly cost also guilts me away from being lazy and not attending classes. But yea try things, do things, find something that clicks for you! Feels like these days with so much despair in the world, so many things out of your control. Working out to me is something in your control. It's you that can pick up that heavy thing and move it. Worth it for the mental + all the other benefits lol.

6:46 Having to reach up might be an exercise for a small person, but when you're 6' and over, it isn't 😅.

I haven't found a way to get out of bed to do stuff I enjoy, imagine trying to exercise. I just get out of bed because of immediate consequences, like starving = tummy hurts or bladder hurts = need to pee (and school too 🤷‍♂️).

"sir" and "ma'am" are starting to lose its politeness nature and considered snarky and/or rude since folks mistake it as a jab regarding one's age and I'm in the southeast...

Geega has no clue. I'm an unemployed visual disability subject to the legislated poverty of the Ontario Disability Support Program, awaiting the equally meager scraps of the Canada Disability Benefit. It doesn't matter what level of equipment or software one does or does not have, the Government of Ontario has put an income reporting cap that isn't even compatible to social media payout processes, the moment I earn anything incompatible to the rules and I lose disability income for attempting self-employment. I am punished by default. There isn't even a straight line on this for tax reporting purposes, and many disabilities are streamers, so I dare to guess that many aren't doing something right. Able-bodied streamers with a financially supportive family or real-world job don't have this handicap to field entry. That being said, the equipment and software factors have radically changed. Artificial intelligence is so forced on devices now that require more power, thereby being more expensive. VTubing software matches the latest technology, and the cheaper equipment is expired. To prove my point, I'm waiting on the upcoming release of the Raspberry Pi 500 keyboard, which will cost $300 and be nowhere near powerful enough to stream with at the present modle software and social media configuration requirements. To meet that, you need a Windows or Mac or Samsung technology costing thousands of dollars. The whole economy of this may be in price fixing to each generation. These companies are running on private nuclear power now. What does that tell you about the power and pricing requirements of it all? All the major North American platforms are about to collapse because the majority as low-income account holders can't afford participation in the digital economy. These platforms are too big and doomed to fail. A VTuber is a visual arts public engagement job. VShojo is a talent agency whose money and protection that the indies don't have. That's a bubble, not the baseline. Your jobs are guaranteed with your company, and your money and technology aren't an issue. Anybody not with a company is basically a street busker for spare change, which is a starving artist landscape suffering in a terms of service hellscape. You can afford a nice suit and good sounding instruments, but when the venue keeps jacking up the price to perform, eventually you just can't, and then they cancle your career to ensure you can't get back in. Greed is Titan. Titans Fall.

As a southerner I grew up with y’all. “Yous” gave me a good laugh the first time or two but I will always poke fun at “yinz”.

"Don't be a Vtuber" -Geega "Vtuber" V-shojo, 2024

you never need as much money as you might think you do to do things. just make stuff. stream if you want to stream. but also ask yourself what you really want out of it if you end up sinking a lot of time and potentially money into it. if you want extraordinary success (and almost all success you see is unusual) then you can't just do what everyone else is doing

I dont know, I really like when streamers start with "Just Chatting." We can talk about different things, watch some videos while having a snack. I see it as a nice warm up.

If Godzilla regularly went up to NYC or Staten, the New Yorkers would probably get used to him after week 3. Then at week 4 you would see people selling Godzilla tours for tourists.

“A lot of people like the idea of it, but then they do it and it makes it unfun for them.” That applies to SO many jobs and many people find out the hard way.

i loved her first model!

It always amazed me that American service Personnel, when on Leave in Australia, are all packed in to McDonalds. Australian Cities have some of the finest Food in the World, the Sea Food is particularly good.

I live in the North East (Northwestern PA, close to Erie) , and she sounds more like a New Yorker to me.

I often think that VTubers should play what they want to, not be dictated by Chat, even if only a few watch it all.

Biblically accurate Geega

I want a samoyed backpack now.

When Geega mentioned going into another room, or sit on a different chair to be productive, got me thinking. I wonder if that could correlate with some of us getting our best moments of idea crafting in the shower or on the toilet? Just a thought, please go easy on me.

I'm 5'6 guy and the only trouble I have is reaching the very top self of the supermarket without using my toes. Besides that, the only problem I may have is dating since I'm not sure if girls would rather date someone taller than myself but that's too big of an issue.

I think Geega’s right on the money. It’s not red lobster for me but I’m a very picky eater and I visit Hawai’i fairly often: most of my extended family lives there, so I’m really only visiting to see them. I enjoy being in a relatively new location and there’s a few spots I go for hawaiian specialties but I get stressed out when I’m outside my comfort zone/meeting a bunch of people I don’t see often so it’s nice to have a McDonalds to fall back on. I know I can get the exact same nuggets within walking distance of my home but I’m not there to maximize every opportunity with a new experience😅. Being neurodivergent in the way I am certainly doesn’t help, so I can’t speak for everyone, but I don’t view inhabiting a comfort zone as such a dichotomy. Giving myself the familiarity to recharge lets me be present for my family: the real reason I take a 6 hour flight.

I always play it super safe when it comes to food when traveling, cause I don’t want to risk being sick on vacation, or sick on the plane back

Gotta respect people who are picky eaters, ya never know their situation, but omg if it isn’t one of my biggest pet peeves for people you know are FINE to try new things…

Street food in Mexico City!

An argument I can see is that Hawaii is the shortest flight from asia outside of Guam. I don't know how many red lobsters are abroad so it could be a novel tourist spot.

That Hitman 2 scene was a good example. Another amazing one is Army of Two's intro where they just pan over murals for dramatic effect.

as an animator, an indie animator takes time to do everything on their own and that's why it gives to studio projects instead to be quick, but expensive

Cheating by finding the vTuber like Marine that can draw, animate, have enough of a network with professionals, and do it yourself.

I'm glad we have people like Dokibird and Mori Calliope commissioning animated KZbin Shorts. It seems like a good fit for freelance animators in the VTuber community, and I'd love to see more.

I'm a bit iffy on the idea that you should do free work for a VTuber to be noticed. Not that it's necessarily wrong, but it seems too much like that "work for exposure" controversy in game journalism back in the day. Doing art of popular characters does build more of an audience, it's true. Hell, look at SirGrape's stuff for Juniper Actias. But there's got to be animators VTubers can find and reach out to if they've got a project in mind, without only picking from those that have done free work for them. I guess it's better if that artist has full rights to their own work even if it's fanart of someone else, that's the really important bit.

Waffle House Disaster index is a real thing. (Also their biscuits and Gravy are surprisingly good).

8:50 A good example of a fan animator getting hired would be Jules who did a fan animation for the co-optional podcast and was later hired to do it officially and then hired again this year to do the intro animation to Jesse and Dodger's new podcast kzbin.info/www/bejne/aam9dXqcZdCed6ssi=xLbd997nHHS_UKyk kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2ipdpKal5aNptU
