Episode Transcript

[00:00:00] Malcolm Collins: Hello, I’m excited to be here with you today. Today we discuss the downfall of the most disgusting and degenerate VTuber ever

[00:00:08] Simone Collins: Dah ...

[00:00:09] Malcolm Collins: provoked an act so vile, so heinous, that the internet has decided, and I will point out, this, this is actually something we need to study because even on sentiment analysis it said it was about 50/50% in terms of support and attack.

[00:00:27] Simone Collins: How? What? What?

[00:00:29] Malcolm Collins: So what she did... Do you wanna hear what Leaflet did that was so evil? Tell me, Malcolm. And it’s important to go into this because it shows where sentiment is globally right now in the United States, how sentiment in the United States has been manipulated, and how we can utilize this to destroy our opponents.

[00:00:50] Because they’re gonna get suplexed, and I’m looking forward to this. So Leaflet made, you know how I’ve been trying to make, like, good VTubing software for like Live2D? Well, I, I’ve never really gotten it good enough for, like, a, it to scare the other side yet.

[00:01:08] Simone Collins: Leaflet- No, it still requires tweaking out of the box like a little bit of tinkering, but it’s still amazing.

[00:01:12] Yeah.

[00:01:14] Malcolm Collins: Yeah, it’s definitely usable, but it’s not- Yeah ... Leaflet made something that was so good it scared people. Yeah. And she actually made it. Now she keeps telling me the way that she’s doing it will never be as good as Live2D stuff will be. Which-

[00:01:30] Simone Collins: It looks better to me. I think maybe to people who aren’t so anchored to traditional, traditional modern VTubing, they’re like, “No, I, I prefer this one.

[00:01:39] Give me the o- give me that one.”

[00:01:41] Speaker 3: Hey guys, Leaf here. I have an update. I was working on the project for a little bit today. , Anyway, , the big things are there are a couple new features I added.

[00:01:50] Malcolm Collins: I’ll e- and I’ll explain why with a few tweaks that I’ve already started making, it can be strictly better, and the way she made it is, is quite brilliant. Mm-hmm ... basically she com- created a new type of PNG Tubing, but I’ll explain this in a second. Basically a new way to make VTubing inexpensive.

[00:02:06] Super inexpensive. Like thousands of times less in terms of the cost to enter. And b- being the absolute mad lad that she is, she gives it away for free For free And that actually causes some problems because it means you, the user, have to figure out how to use APIs. So on this stream today, what I am announcing- Wonderful.

[00:02:32] Wonderful ... is Leaflet just also gave me the code for this and said, “Try to improve it. Drop it on RFAB. You can use it with the RFAB tokens,” which is just a 50% margin, which isn’t much when you’re talking about API tokens. Most are
