I have another 110 fixed soundposts in the chamber, but I'll wait until tomorrow to leave a mess.

Has anyone checked their local Welch's Fruit Snacks factories? She might have dug too greedily and too deep in the fruit snacks mines.
Perhaps this is hell
I blame the 700 people still sub'd to her Why stream at all when you maintain close to 1k subs and you haven't streamed in 2 months
>>109599121To some people the sub streak matters.
>>109599121Why would I stop supporting my wife?Its til death do us part, not til you stop streaming
I'm amazed the OP doesn't link to any of the ARG stuff.
>>109599188Oh I am streaking it, I am streaking it so good By the by, 4channel on the browser is talking about some "unblock spur.io and mci.io to proceed" and I don't even know what that is dawg
Call me a schizo, but seeing all these vedal verse v-whores moving to UK and boasting about it openly makes me believe the reason filian took such a massive break before her debut is because she's moving to UK next to Vedal too.
>>109599526brother it hasn't been 4channel for like a few years
>>109599528We're rebuilding the empire one e-thot at a time, led by our glorious femboy programmer overlord.
What if Filian fell over in an exaggerated fashion?
>>109599544My bad. 4channeling
>>109599526I don't see anything like that. You gotta stop clicking on those porn ads, bro.
>>109599495I'm not solving your ARG, Filian. Stop posting on /vt/, and go stream
>>109599770But the hot single milfs in my area that just want to fuck can get me off in 10 seconds anon...
hot single /flip/s in your area
>>109599944In my area you say?
well I got myself banned from the arg website trying to brute force a password.
debut date?
>>109600733that's a lie
>>109600743june 7th
>>109600733Pretty fucking funny if true
The ARG is calledblackfileindex if you're too shy to go to the discord. https://www.youtube.com/@blackfileindex/https://www.blackfile-index.org/
>>109600782>>109600794The server gave me a 403 forbidden link for a little while. Checked back now and it's working for me again.

>>109600861Filian should use these then lolololol
>>109598212Okay, let's do this!! Lets talk about Filian's return!I want serious replies now. No jokes or lies. I want to hear your honest thoughts, no matter how schizo they are. So, please reply to this post and tell us:1. What you hope and wish will happen when Filian returns and debuts. What type of stream do you want it to be. What so tou want her to do. Be serious! If you truly wish her to debut as a porn tuber then say so, but only say this of you are serious about it.2. What so you think will actually happen on her debut and return date. No matter how schizo your rrat or theory is as long as you are not joking, tell us what you believe will actually happen Go!
>>109600918ylyl ylyl
>>109599944wish I had hot single Filians in my area
>>109600941there is one, you just need to find her
>>109600801trash ARG, don't play into it
>>109598846What sort of Eldritch horrors could one uncover there?
>>109600918its going to be either a big collab with multiple people, a subathon, or just a ylyl
>>109600918Out of ideas?
>>109600820The password is = the_truthThe password that isn't cracked yet is the file found in the Docs folder once you log onto the win95 computer.
>>109601028>Big collabUghhhhhh no bueno mama>SubathonI don't think da filly is built for that if I'm honest? Sprint, not marathon.>Just a YLYLProbably the best of these ideas, but it'd feel underwhelming
>>109601028it's either this, or something we can't comprehend her doing, hence the "no one has ever done this before" bullshit
>>109601028Is that your theory or your wish?>>109601084You think she will do.an ylyl on debut stream?
>>109600918>What you hope and wish will happen when Filian returns and debutsI just want a genuine explanation/apology. She disappeared for 2 months+ with no notice. If she gives some bullshit answer like>oh I was setting up for the debutThen I'm not going to be happy. Plenty of other people have streamed and set up big events while taking significantly shorter breaks. This whole thing was mismanaged and has been a shit experience since the end of December so to continue it until now is taking the piss.
>>109601124You should apologise to her for being a fake fan
>>109600990oh shir fr? where do I find her?
>>109601116that's what's likely going to happen. all she's getting is a new original model. let's be real, her ass isn't changing the realm of content creation with this shit. all she needs to do is hype up the model, showcase it a little during stream debut, and then do whatever the fuck she wants for the rest of stream which is just going to be another one of her normal ass streams just with the new model.
>>109601212behind you, anon. look behind you!!!!
>>109601124Okay, that was your wish? Then what do you genuinly think will happen during her debut stream?
>>109601232You should be grateful she even considered debuting for you
>>109601286her ass should be grateful i'm still willing to watch after all of this bullshit.
i would like filian to stream, I don't care about anything else
>>109601367this
>>109600918>What you hope and wish will happen when Filian returns and debuts.I honestly don't care about the return stream that much, I just want her to come back and stream her usual days/hours. If she has a new model, I hope it's built like the current one (body type) and just as cute. No need to make it more sexy, but I hope it's not deliberately prudish compared to the current one, either. Beyond that, I want her to continue making fun collab stuff with her friends, that's when she's at her best. Occasional react stuff is nice, though the well was starting to feel a little dry for ylyl/punishment wheel formats.>What so you think will actually happen on her debut and return dateShe'll build up to it with all of the arg crap, having it ramp up and get more intense in such a way that she hopes it will generate a bit of buzz in the community. Possibly pre-debut teaser videos with cryptic nonsense, and definitely a pre-announced debut date to make sure people actually show up. Then she'll open her stream with a premade video of some kind that follows directly from the final arg stuff that was released pre-debut. It will reveal wtf it was all about, and it will culminate in her being isekaid into her new model. She's said before that there will be lore, so that will all be tied into it.Then she'll probably show off her model and her toggles, yap about being away, do some flips and some dancing, reveal any other new stuff she has (new 3d home world, room props, bgm, whatever), and finally wrap it up with a shoutout to her artist/rigger before ending stream and saying she'll be back to her usual schedule. Not impossible that she would also include some of her closer associates (Rekson, swiika etc) in some capacity, though I think full on friend collabs are unlikely for the debut.
she's honestly just ruined the hype around everything by waiting too long and giving us no updates/teases/info whatsoever, just leaving us with a shitty unsolvable ARG
How much loli and shota does filian have? why's it taking her so long to delete it
>>109601390we're getting her closet reveal (and potentially other IRL related things), don't forget about that!
>>10960144117YB
>>109601495so 17 trillion terabytes...
>>109600918I think you should kick things off with a laxative stream. May as well start things out with a brownflip, you can only go up from there.
>>109600918>What you hope and wish will happen when Filian returns and debutsnormal stream>What so you think will actually happen on her debut and return datebf reveal (me), model reveal, pregonte reveal
>>109601509Yeh she should have taught Lacari how to hide it better idk
I just hope she would stops yelling 24/7, I liked chill streams on her alt
Hey, is Filian really THAT naïve or is it an act?
>>109601751both
>>109601689But she doesn't care what you like, she's here to farm content, clips, and views
>>1096009181. She confesses her love for me.2. She does a solo stream and yaps about the new model and merch stuff. Then does ylyl with punishments to show off toggles and stuff. Maybe jackpot is the merch/vta teaser.
>>109601751she's a streamer, she knows how to act accordingly to things in order to be a character. that being said, she wouldn't seem THAT authentic if there wasn't a little naturalism either. numbers are debatable, but imo what you see on stream is probably like 60-70% character 30-40% her actual self, depending on what she's doing.
>>109601751filian does it to lure out unsuspecting men and rap them
>>109601973>menboys*
I will continue to wait for my wife even if it takes a long time.
>>109601867>>109601807>>109601751>>109601689Femanon here, considering hopping into the vtubing scene after being inspired by fillypino, and I would go mad from being so deep in character for so many hours a week - is it feasible to be more open with my real self and still see a measure of succcess? I'd like to be able to do it full-time, which is why I'm asking about the numbers part.
>>109602151Are you hot irl
>>109601600You are disqualified, because you weren't serious.
>>109602199Like, astoundingly mid and not good enough with makeup to rise above that if I'm so for real.
>>109602233what do you mean by mid?
>>109602264idk like slightly hotter than Katie Tiedrich (author of webcomic Awkward Zombie) - longer hair though.But I was asking about showing my personality, not my face, sooo
>>109602151It's feasible to some extent if your real self is entertaining. But first and foremost a vtuber is a professional entertainer. In some of her very early streams Filian mentioned reading books and watching videos on how to be entertaining, how to talk to an audience, how to be funny and tell jokes etc, so if you want to be a pro you need to act like one.I think the best chuubas (and streamers in general), show enough of their real personality to be unique and authentic, while not forgetting that, first and foremost, they are there to give their audience a good time. The bad ones just do what they would be doing normally - sitting playing a game or whatever in relative silence, hoping that people will watch for some reason?
>>109602285I think showing some skin will make you a success
>>109602151Depends what your real self is.If you're boring af, noThat's not how filian or any entertainer function. When they're on the stage, they "work". Part of their work is acting in specific ways that are still part of them, and putting others possibilities on the side, for the sake of entertainment. Any way they would act or react is "them", they just choose whatever is more fitting in the current context. The same way you don't act the same way at work and with your family, but all of these are still you. Just "you in a différent context".You shouldn't play a character literally, unless you're doing RP streams.
>Filian in this thread looking for the best ideas
>>109602151rule 1 - no dead airkeep talking, make funny noises, enable fart sound redeems, turn on BGM - do whatever to avoid silence
>>109602328I guess that makes sense, I'm just kind of- I don't like lying, and performing is in large part about being a disingenuous liar. But I still want to give others entertainment and solace, just maybe not at the cost of compressing myself into a role. Maybe that's a selfish way to think, but I've always found the snatches of unguarded human being Filian we've seen has been some of the sweetest, most appealing thing I've seen. But I guess that needs the performance for contrast, no gap moe without the gap.>>109602360I mean, some streamers are notably completely different people off-stream - often for the worse. And I think filly and some others I've watched definitely filter themselves and the things they do/the ways they react. Even if you're generous and saying it's not disingenuous, it's at least digging four or five layers deep, past the more immediate, real, gut-level stuff. It's why I appreciated filly's incredibly real laugh at that one VR degeneracy short.>>109602414I'm a chatterbox, no problem there, BGM isn't a bad idea (I like Kirsche's bgm, it's very nice, I should get something like that myself, and a model with honkers like that, absolutely Munya)
>>109602473Honkers is a good idea
>>109602364filian should have sex with me during her redebut
>>109602473If that "layer deep gut level stuff" is interesting, go wild, you'll see for yourself if it works or not.In fact, I'm convinced anything can appeal to an audience, it's just some stuff being appealing to more people than others. No idea how you are so no idea if it'll work for you, and the only way to know is to start. Just try streaming and see if you even like it first and foremost.
>>109600918Vtuber awards Collab with KizunaAi maybe Saba, maybe others.Rebranding/new lore might be related to Kizuna and her clones.Watch Fils reaction to Kizunas comeback and Sabas Debut.Announcement 22.02, event 26.02
>>109602151yes, but it's not usually recommended. the big reason why alot of them play up characters is for personal privacy and to keep their IRL lives seperate from weird viewers, which, as much as some people don't want to admit, is honestly going to be most of your audience as a female content creator. realistically, you're going to have weirdo's in you audience no matter what. but by making a character out of yourself, you can at least get those kinds of viewers attached to something that isn't your real self, and potentially keep some personal privacy depending on how much of yourself you decide to put into said character.
>>109602631I guess that makes sense...Although, thinking on it, Layna has had less tier 4's than Filian, I think? And she seems to put on less of a character as best I can tell. Same with Trickywi, who has absolutely no filter (she did have one very persistent stalker, but IIRC he was from years back when she was a facecam streamer)
>>109602631I going to headcanon this to mean that you think finding legal aged women attractive is weird, making you the weird viewer, in fact
It looks like the site just checks /api/verify to return some kind of valueGemini gave me the_nature_of_the_beast as a password for the other file but it doesn't seem to work (though Grok said something about a second password so I can't just discard this)
>>109602706that's not really what i was getting at when i said weird viewers. i was talking more so the actual dudes that take it too far and start diving into one's actual personal life. like the doxfag(s) that post /here/ every so often are clearly on another tier than some dude that just fantasizes or casually thinks about her.
>>109601566This but she should invite her friends to do it too. Whoever shits themselves first loses. Imagine the smell.
>>109602793But a lot of supposed "doxxing" is stuff that was already easy to find that no one really though to look for. I think if it's info that's already out there it doesn't really count.
>>109602672>Layna has had less tier 4's than Filian, I think?Layna is dating the streamer Tomato. Honestly if you want to filter the bulk of schizos out, and are willing to endure the kneecapping to how much money you can rip from them, I'd say to just say you have a boyfriend early on, even if you're single. If you're intending to make money doing this, then you're effectively going to be peddling liquor to a bunch of deranged alcoholics who think you're their friend. Not like a parasocial "she acknowledged me as her #1 fan and said I'm her favorite." No I mean they actually think of you the same way a more well adjusted dweeb thinks of the guys he plays DnD, MtG, or Video Games with on Wednesdays at the local card shop, or people they message regularly with a strong relationship. Camila is a hog IRL and even she had an airtag slipped into her bag to track her to her house, Emiru had a dude come up and sexually assault her, and there's tons of other less prolific horror stories out there. Ironically despite how spastic and dumb Filian seems, her fanbase is one of the more well adjusted ones I've seen, and even in /flip/ people can't help but speculate on how she looks/IRL details. The impression I've got from said speculation is more so just curiosity induced by how ironclad her opsec is, but the point is it's still there even in a more well adjusted fanbase. I'm not going to bullshit you with a "my point isn't to scare you." It is. You should be afraid of the kinds of people who watch vtubers, if you're thinking of being one, because the entire industry relies on appealing to them to make money. That isn't to say every single one is crazy, most people treat it like throwing cash into a busker's hat, but I think I'm sort of obligated to warn you about some of the shit I, and others, have come to understand about the industry over time. Is it more dangerous than say, working on an oil rig, or hell even being an electrician (shock injury risk)? No. But there's precautions you really gotta take if you're even thinking of getting into this stuff
>>109602672there are exceptions, i will admit, though you'll notice that almost all of those exceptions are either in public relationships, or admit they have a private relationship. once you narrow down which streamers have alot of tier 4's, you'll see they're the ones that stick to the "oh i'm single, never been in a relationship, i'm actually a virgin, lol..."
>>109602882mmm, i feel like posting images of someone who explicitly states they want to remain anonymous online, regardless if they have been posted before, is still a fucked up and invasive thing to do to someone.
>>109603062No one's gone round to her home and posted pictures of it, so if it's her retarded mistake she walked in on a PUBLIC stream that's on her. Obviously someone's going to fucking clip it lol.
>>109602967Tomato and layna broke up almost two years ago now
>>109602793I think about her competitively.
>>109603119I'm so out of the loop on all this shit, man. Makes sense why I never see her featured in streams now.Hope fruitman took it well when it happened
Does she stream?
>>109603216they didn't break up btw, anon is just a fucking dirty liar
>>109603119is she back with Gmart?
>>109603505NoShe's either single (not likely) or with another streamer again, i have my own thoughts on who it could be but im not certain so i won't talk anymore
>>109603216Tomato seems like a fucking faggot though
>>109603625i hope it's Boon
>>109603625they're still together, retard
>>109603855another one
>>109603892>2024
>>109603911yeah, and in 2025 >>109603855 she's still referring to him as her partner
>>109603855Shouldn't bring it up in the first place then moan when people ask about it haha
>>109603911nigga, it literally says that the breakup thing was a bit
>>109603968i never brought it up, people just be straight up lying
>>109598212She'll debut this February (trust)
>>109603855yeah totally she even stopped wearing the panic watch thing that she talked about being the most important thing to her lmao
>>109604014No her not you
>>109604017anon, it's 2036...
Is /flip/ so starved for anything Filian that Anons are now engaging in hot goss about an affiliate of an affiliate of Filian?
>>109604069nah, dudes are just retarded
>>109604067still no Filian stream
>>109601028Ngl I'd be disappointed if it was a ylyl kind of thing I think she'll do some kind of role play about how she gets isekaid. Or some shit
>>109604069begone female
>>109603892she literally said she wasn't interested in him long term to fucking vedal of all people but sure "entertainment"
Stream?
>>109604160yeah, that's not going to be the whole stream though, probably just the start, like half an hour at most just to showcase the model off for a bit. then maybe an anouncment for VTA and new sponsor, then merch reveals and stuff, and then she'll either leave it at this, or go into a normal style stream like ylyl or a big collab of some kind just to see what the new model is going to be like from now on.
>>109600918Hi filians management team!
>>109604298sup nigga
>>109600918Debut on Fansly with a buttplug that goes off on every 100 bit TTS
>>109604069>Is /flip/ so starved for anything Filian that YESI WANT FILIAN, BUT SHE WON'T. FUCKING.STREAM.
>>109601421She should've debuted straight after the marathon ended like what was even the point of asking vedal to raid her if she wasn't even going to announce anything?
>>109604321wish she would just do porn already, like it can't be that hard to join the industry...
>>109604194If she was telling it to vedal she was probably just flirting with him
>>109602601>KizunaAiIsn't she dead?
>>109604411She came back softly.
>>109604380madi collins
>>109601421But Anon, we have gotten updates! She shifted the contrast of her banner and pfp down by one unit. That means she's still alive and able to do stuff to her accounts!Aren't you excited at this riveting news?
>>109602967>Layna is dating the streamer TomatoDawg, what iceberg did they mine you out off? That was like 4 years ago he'll she even dated another dude and got engaged to him then broke up with THAT dude bro lives on ligger memes.
>>109604477It's not enough. I had to pick up an entirely different hobby to fill the void.
>>109604017Nah if she doesn't debut this month I'm just giving up on her.
>>109604358probably attempt to get more people interested in the ARG since it was the only place she decided to advertise it, other than a single discord post from the mods that literally no one gave a shit about. honestly, she could have saved everything if she would've left us with even a crumb more than what she did. we've gotten no announcements, no arg progress, no teases of any kind, just a bunch of fans that don't care about what she has planned and just want her to stream again.
>>109604480>Dawg, what iceberg did they mine you out off?Sonic the Hedgehog. The Tails reaction image should have made that obvious. I'm only like 80% joking about that shit, I actually am a huge Sonic fan, or at least the games I think are good.
>>109604453well shit... that's... that's pretty spot on...
>>109604532>probably attempt to get more people interested in the ARG since it was the only place she decided toYeah but the only thing that the people who raided into her stream would've seen is just her model glitching out and her saying "not now" there wasn't even a link or anything.
>>109604549oh yeah? What'st he best sonic game, retard?
>>109604595exe
>>1096045953D blast
>>109604595there is more than one?
>>109604595ignore these jokers >>109604612 >>109604647You'll be able to tell it's my posts by how visibly autistic my sperging is.Sonic Adventure 2. 3&K is right behind that
>>109604581that's a good point desu. i can't think of another reason as to why she'd have him raid her though. maybe he just did it on his own terms or whatever, not of her asking him to.
>>109604595the one with tails on a bench
>>109604453wild how similar that pornstar sounds to her
>>109604695why?
>>109604695>Sonic Adventure 2. 3&K is right behind thatthese games don't really meet up to the cultural and artistic impact that both 3D Blast, and EXE made, nor were they as innovative with their game design. if that's your personal opinion then sure, but to ignore the historical impact that 3D Blast and EXE had on gaming is just blasphemy.
>>109604453What a wacko coincidence, I literally jerked off to her yesterday lmao. Get out of my walls anon
>>109604453literally filian...
>>109604595CD is the best 2d sonic game and generations is the best 3d game.
>>109604752Dude this is a Filian thread. Do you honest to god want to hear a 31 year old retard sperg about why he thinks Sonic Adventure 2 is one of the best games ever made? Because I'll do it, but I don't really think it's appropriate of me to do so, unless I'm asked direct questions about the game
>>109604247Saba streams more at this rate
>>109604712It's been a while since I saw the stream but I'm pretty sure he said he "had" to raid filian and I remember filian commenting on the raid, I doubt filian thought it through desu.
>>109604843She hasn't streamed for nearly 3 months and the only signs we've gotten from her is shifting the contrast by literally one unit on two pictures. What the fuck even is there to derail anymore? >>109604865>I doubt filian thought it through desu.tuh-ruw
>>109604695>>109604755oh, i almost forgot about Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machines. One of the instant classics of the series, had a similar cultural and artistic impact like 3D Blast, with the highly innovative level design of EXE. Instant Classic!!!
>>109604843I say you do it because you want to sperg. I don't have to read it if I don't want to, after all. Besides Filian is gone so who cares
>>109604843threads have already been shit for the last 2 months anyway, might as well.
>>109604843I agree with >>109604936Radical Highway or City Escape?

>>109604894>>109604936>>109604953Sure, fine, whatever. But I'm limiting it to only answering direct questions.>>109604955The text limit on posts doesn't let me do this question justice. >tldr: City Escape has the better presentation, but Radical Highway has the higher skill expression ceilingBoth stages are classics, and immediately display what both characters are about, but their positions in their respective stories creates a really interesting tradeoff of qualities. For example, City Escape is the first level, and likely the first level of the entire game, so when you're (literally) dropped in the level has to immediately teach you several things.Which it does quite successfully, in my opinion. The snowboarding segment alone teaches you-Going forward is the most important thing-The camera will follow you around turns-there are bonuses you can hit if you practice the stage (the ramps, and maintaining speed)-and you also can't take damage at any point in the snowboarding segmentWithout breaking down literally every single part of the levels, Radical Highway's opening, in contrast, hurls you down a big rail (in a nice subtle visual mirroring of Sonic's first level), and then dumps you into a free roaming 3D environment. The way Dark story is structured is that they fully expected it to be your second playthrough, but also accounted for if it was your first. So you first control Shadow in a boss fight, meaning some semblance of his controls is required to even get to Radical Highway. In turn, they throw you into a safe area at the start, (a flat platform with guard rails), but still task you with more intuiting than Hero side (the snowboarding literally puts you on one big forward rail)Now why are these details so important? Because with that established, you can begin to extrapolate the greentext I started with this, and would see it yourself were you to play it. City Escape doesn't really have any outright level shortcuts, but Radical Highway does. The very first interactable also lets you show off if you're skilled, since you can hold A to bounce off the rectangle spring higher, and actually homing attack that jet who's bombs would always hit you as a kid. The rest of the contrast in level design continues throughout boththis one guy did good level breakdowns, if you want something to watch while you eat dinner tonighthttps://youtu.be/mlz-K3tRVxQhttps://youtu.be/0i4toQUIUPY
