Introducing my chat mascot, Jorbo, and his favorite vocal stim 👽✨
Jorbos are alien creatures that have infested the moonbase and represent my commoonity! They have a ton of neurodivergent traits that represent auDHD folks like myself and many members of chat.
One of these traits is an upcoming feature from VTS P.O.G. that allows the model to make soundboard noises! Chat can use channel points to redeem "vocal stim" and play a random sound.
They have a ton of species lore which I presented on stream but will be posted soon in the discord for reference! There's also a template for making your own jorbosonas and it's been so fun seeing everyone's creations.
Fun fact: I drew and rigged Jorbo's model myself, he's actually just a live2D item with my arms attached to give the illusion that he's part of my base model!
Hey, what hardware/software setup do you use for face tracking/effects/rigging?
(Ignore this if it's already answered somewhere else and I overlooked it)
I have a cannibalized iphone on a small tripod that feeds its camera input to a program called vbridger. I use an iphone because it has the best face tracking available on the consumer market. That program interprets it as data for steering a vtuber and sends that to another program called vtube studio which houses the model. That program then sends the vtuber model to a third program called OBS, which is where I stream from. I also have a program running called nyarupad which reads inputs from my controller through USB and applies it to the model as a vtube studio plugin, which is how my model's fingers match mine when using a controller. Finally there's a fifth program called vts-pog which handles text-to-speech redeems and acts as another plugin telling vtube studio when to make Morgan talk.
Friday December 9th at 11am CST I will be doing a 12 hour stream! For welcome back and FOR US HITTING 3K FOLLOWERS!!!!
We have a smol goal to get the rest of stuff i need/want for stream which includes -
New Throwables for stream - $5
New Type of Headpat (more interactive) - $5
New Program for redeems (It's called thicc and it makes RAINBOWS XD) - $8

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR Three Doors, One Room by Tony Luebbermann
In Tony Luebbermann’s poems, terrors flash as unexpectedly as storms. The gorgeous, perfectly balanced, flora and fauna of the American Southwest contrast with the off-kilter actions of human beings. Because of our stupidity and greed, “the dawn that could and should adorn us” might not come.
Tony Luebbermann’s poems are beautifully attuned to the landscapes of his heart—the southwest desert and northern lakes. In this work language rises from dinosaur track, water, stone, city street, and ancient ruin. These poems sing of time’s dance with timelessness—how our grievous mortality is sheltered within Nature’s continuance.
–Alison Hawthorne Deming, Regents Professor of Creative Writing, University of Arizona, New Work: A WOVEN WORLD: On Fashion, Fisherman, & the Sardine Dress
In Three Doors, One Room, I am transported by Tony Luebbermann’s crystalline images, forged from keen observation and an adventurous imagination. With fidelity to the lyric tradition, these poems weave love and death into a tapestry we recognize as our world—night rose, butterfly on the city of a flower, cactus moon. Consistent and veritable throughout, despite the range of subjects, is a voice, kind, honest and wise, a voice I am honored to listen to.
–Christopher Nelson, author of Blood Aria and editor of Under a Warm Green Linden
