iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Can Pooka pilot James through puzzles and peril, or is this birdbrain vtuber too busy trying to get Pyramid Head's number? But first - 2 more Pokemon gacha boxes! Can we find Mew? Come find out when the Curious Repository of Otherworldly Wonders opens @ 6pm est! 🔗⏬ #vsky #livenow #vtuber #scary

Follow up in case this helps anyone else! What worked for me: - delete the clips - remove personal logos/ending cards - limit 🟪 reference to 1 png w/logo & username for ~3 frames - re-export/rename to remove“stream ladder” & mske sure file fingerprint was different from 1st upload (1/2, see ⏬)

It may not be a world record, but it's probably the fastest Pooka has ever gone from chatting to gaming. Touching digital grass was just the cherry on top. #vtuber #vsky #eldenring #yapping

Midnight Edition preordered, I NEED that Alucard style costume! All of the trailers for this look incredible and I absolutely fell in love with the Castlevania anime, super excited for this to drop! Anyone else counting down days?

3 shorts. 3 days. From 90% shorts feed traffic to 50% and now down to 30%. What gives, YouTube? I know it’s not my content. Swipe & completion metrics are fine. It really feels like something’s broken again. I don’t know what else to think or how else to read the data here. I’m tired, boss.

010

What do you mean, vtubers have actual lives and responsibilities and independent thoughts? Wild.

030

Work meeting got cancelled last minute! I’m free to indulge in a bit of Core Keeper! What do you do with unexpected free time?

020

Late night thought: I wonder if the reason I seem to have trouble growing here is I read too many books as a kid and all the proper grammar and vocabulary and spelling comes off as stilted or overly formal. Digital rbf by virtue of chronic introversion and escapism. 🫠 Am I overthinking?

I skipped my usual post-stream routine of honey lemon tea last night and my god I can tell. Note to self, don’t stream so late I don’t have time for tea before I have to go to bed for work in the morning 🪦

Well damn, it took two and a half years but I’ve finally gotten The Comment. Great job using those reading comprehension skills on my bio, my guy. 😂

Puzal 🐦‍⬛🎪 @puzalpooka.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Is this doing anything for you? Does this count as entertainment? (Thank you guys for letting me screw around on stream!) #vtuber #anime #funny #cheeky #banter

Couldn't help having a bit of fun with the thumbnail. Join me for my first foray into the Silent Hill series with the Silent Hill 2 remake tonight 9/29 at 6pm est! But first - let's check out some rare fire obsidian, charoite, and tanzanite, & see if we unbox Mimikyu in this Pokemon gacha set! 🔗⏬

There was a slight misunderstanding on stream that day. Thankfully no PCs, overlays, or software programs were broken in the making of this video. The only casualty was Pooka's blood pressure. What's the first thing you check when you're setting up for a stream?

Puzal 🐦‍⬛🎪 @puzalpooka.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

So I downloaded the Silent Hill 2 Remake... Birdy's first Silent Hill game tonight maybe? Should we see if my heart can take it? #vtuber #horror #firstplay #silenthill

My two cents on vtuber puppeting since that's a hot topic right now: Puppeting IS required no matter how much you tweak your rig and your settings. This is me just moving my head normally vs actually puppeting my model. There's quite a difference in motion and expressiveness. (1/2)

Went to finish my coffee, picked the mug up, and there was no coffee left. I have no memory of having drank it already, I swear it was half full last time I checked. Happy Monday.

Perhaps Pooka is what happens if Schrodinger's cat learns how to hit the go live button from inside the box. #vtuber #anime #funny #explain #meme

That’s two collabs with really cool people I’ve had to pass up because of work and I’m so worried people are never going to invite me again. That and how slow this month has been have really got me down. I hate how much having to step back and turn stuff down feels like giving up.

I went to a crystal shop and came out with only one crystal! Are you proud of me?

Figured it out. YouTube’s AI moderation probably thought the word “packing” in the title was a 🔫 reference. Deleted, reuploaded, no changes save the title. And suddenly it’s getting pushed as normal, views are back on the normal curve, picked up a few subscribers. Learn from my mistake I guess.

Genuinely what is going on with shorts right now? Top one has a 68% swipe rate, over 100% viewed, 92% of watchers are already subscribed, 50% of the reach is from the shorts feed. Tags are the same as yesterday’s post. It’s just not getting pushed. It did fine elsewhere. Any advice?

Now THIS is a tanzanite. This 17g 86 carat tanzanite is absolutely magical. That's not an editing trick, it's actually changing colors depending on lighting angle. Incredible natural pleochroism. I cannot WAIT to show this and some other incoming specimens off on stream! Dream crystal!

NEW MINECRAFT DIMENSION in Bedrock and Java! Let’s freaking go! I am so so excited for this I cannot WAIT just look how pretty this is!

Pooka's height might be lacking, but perhaps not everything about them is... It’s an older meme, sir, but it checks out.

God I need to be better about this. I probably have some unpacking to do around the whole “gifted kid wasted potential” spiel I heard a lot growing up playing piano and doing ballet and so many performances and recitals.

You know what? It blows my mind that there are people who like me and my model and my content enough to go out of their way to watch YouTube VODs just to help me achieve a goal. Just because they know it means something to me. And I will keep working on being worthy of that kind of support.

Pooka is one of the Fair Folk. People really should think to watch out for fairy rings and read the fine print before joining the Curious Repository of Otherworldly Wonders. Would you step into a mushroom circle for me? #vtuber #anime #funny #magic #trapped

I’m a Fae raven vtuber! If you’re a vtuber, what kind of vtuber are you? Or if you’re a facecam streamer or a viewer, what’s your favorite character concept you’ve had? 🎨 Skyycha

What’s a weird detail about your vtuber model that you keep not fixing because it’s kind of funny? For whatever reason my mouth tracking occasionally picks up me sticking out my tongue when I’m not and it makes me look like I’m trying to be a snake.

Is YouTube absolutely tanking anyone else’s reach on shorts recently? I’m tweaking a few minor things with my hook and ending card but other than that my editing is solid, pacing is fine, and as far as I can tell no clear reason for view jail. Is the algo just on one again?

This chat message was sort of technically correct. Which is the best kind of correct. Playing Elden Ring is getting a little spicier than anyone expected. Want to see more of Pooka's first Elden Ring playthrough? Catch the show Tuesdays and Fridays at 6pm est - more info in bio! #vtuber #funny

Soon I’ll have a long form video reviewing all of my models past & present & showing my journey from a free DIY vroid model on day 1 all the way to the vtuber model I hit Partner with. Spoiler: it's not the model you think! I'll be A/B testing these thumbnails, but which one would you click on?

Puzal 🐦‍⬛🎪 @puzalpooka.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Told my community I have the flu and I’m doing my best to recover enough to stream on Friday. The “bird flu” jokes were immediate. And now we’ve invented a new prescription medication for it. Love my discord. 🤣 What do you think? Worth the side effects?

Swinging wildly at the walls helped Pooka find a ton of secrets in Hollow Knight and Silksong. Why shouldn't the same strategy work for Elden Ring? Want to see more of my first Elden Ring playthrough? Catch me live on Tuesdays and Fridays at 6pm est - check bio for info! #vtuber #gremlin #gaming

Maybe this is sick brain talking, maybe I feel stupid and delete this later, but man I’m tired of feeling like I’m shooting half-blind with this content creation stuff and I’m worried my viewership is never going to recover. (1/2)

190

Currently rediscovering that my favorite thing about Core Keeper is even when I’m sick and my brain is foggier than Silent Hill and I can’t remember a goal for more than 2 minutes, it’s still fun to just run around and explore. It still feels productive and useful.

070

Player versus player content in any video game stresses me out, never mind in a game as notoriously challenging as Elden Ring. Any other introverts out there feel the same way? #vtuber #anime #relatable #introvert #pvp

Update: did not work. Ya bird is feeling like death warmed over. No stream tonight, will try to put out a schedule and fit a makeup stream in where I can.

This has to work right? This is what they call "sympathetic magic"? ...right? (This cold is kicking my ass send help)

I finally earned a subscriber from a live stream VOD! Hopefully this marks the end of the slow period I’ve felt stuck in. We’re almost at 1k watch hours to qualify for YouTube Partner! If you like cozy sims, souls games, first plays, & crystal unboxings - please consider checking my channel out! 🔗⏬

Maybe not locking in on 1 skill at a time & not committing to streaming 3-4x a week are my issues atm. Reinvestment & not giving myself every shot I can at increased discoverability. I’m doing my best, but it’s hard not to feel like I’m doing something wrong when I haven’t managed to blow up yet.

To celebrate the official release of the new Core Keeper Riders of the Underground update from Fleshine Games and Pugstorm, enjoy Pooka discovering the new sub biome while playing early access yesterday on stream - the moss area with one of the cutest new creatures in the game!

Just applied for a creator program I’ve wanted to join for a long time, wish me luck! It’s true that you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, and I’m hoping that my track record and passion will help me nail this shot.
