I recently released the Rumbling Universal Mayhem Plugin, or RUMP!
This tool allows your Vtuber to respond to rumble signals from @buttplug.io instead of (or in addition to) hardware, letting your avatar interactively react to any game with a compatible mod or tool! Totally SFW!

One of my great hopes is to change vtubing as a format. Alpine always gets me really excited about what's possible... basically with every post.

ultimately, i've come to realize that what I really enjoy is humans using their creativity and skill to make new and interesting things, and the positive community atmosphere that comes from creatives and fans enjoying each others' works

Been seeing a lot more vtubing models and clips that showcase the medium realizing its long dormant potential. More unique styles, interactive animations, and new frontiers.
I believe 2026 will be a highlight year in realizing the medium's potential.

"games are art" was never about the games
it was about the players
it was about the teenager in us responding to our dads' criticism by telling them that we're not playing children's games till we shit ourselves - we're cultured adults experiencing the nuances of high art. until we shit ourselves

the HORSES stuff is obviously ridiculous and depressing, but it is also worth asking ourselves: who has benefited from the "games are art" campaign? it has certainly not been the artgame makers, whose work continues to be shunned and dismissed as "not games"
holy fuck this is ridiculous, how can we claim games are art if art is this scary to our two primary distribution channels?

LucasArts had so many internal tools, but to make levels their FPS games "Dark Forces" and "Outlaws" they just used the good old AutoCAD. Here are shots of "Outlaws" maps being worked on in AutoCAD R13 for Windows:

there's no writeup on this and the video description is useless shilling. is this nothing more than "if you give a bot mod powers and the ability to echo what chat says, chat can likely abuse that mod power"?
because yes, if you let users type things into admin command boxes, that's what you get

better to do something interesting and fail, than to phone in some halfassed homogenous slop
even if it turns out to be a hot mess, someone will be brave enough to pick out the bits they think are tasty. but no one can do that if you never tried to add any flavor in the first place
