ChipsDelayt

ChipsDelayt (チップス・デライト) is a male Filipino Virtual YouTuber based in the Philippines. Alongside streaming, he is also a VTuber clipper and graphic designer. He is mostly known by the PH VTuber community as now-graduated VTuber Lyrica's dedicated clipper. While originally an independent streamer, he is currently part of the PH VTuber group Project Kokonatsu.

Chips' hair is now more tentacle-like, growing extensions on the sides and back. He is also now sporting curtain bangs, with his eyebrows hidden underneath. His glasses are thicker and more rounded, and he is now donning a brown brimmed beret with cream and brown pins at the side. The chocolate chips stayed on top of his hair, with some scattered on his side bangs.

His entire body is now translucent, as seen from the bra strap and thigh harnesses being seen at the back of his limbs. His outfit is a oversized knitted purple cardigan with a white frilly blouse and cookie pin underneath.

Background
Chips' YouTube channel was created on 23 April 2018, but he did not start uploading until 8 April 2020. With no specific nor serious goal for his channel in mind, his uploads started out being random and infrequent until the VTuber boom that happened later that year, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

2020
Following the skyrocketing popularity that VTubers have garnered, Chips took a liking to VTuber clips and briefly considered becoming a clipper, but ultimately decided against it. Ironically, he described clipping to his friends as "too time-consuming." At the same time, the concept of VTubing has started to influence the Philippines.

On 23 October, he uploaded his first clip, showcasing PH VTuber Umai Lele.

2021
In the prior year, Chips discovered rising PH VTuber Lyrica, and grew very fond of her as well as her community. It was around this time that he noticed the lack of clips of PH VTubers in general, so he started working on clipping her streams.

On 3 March, he uploaded a clip of Lyrica, garnering attention from Lyrica herself and showcasing it on her stream a few days later. This, in turn, popularized the term "Kadabars" as her community name. The positive feedback from his close friends as well as the community motivated him to create and showcase many more following clips. Around this time, he also started watching other PH VTubers and clipping them as well, such as Hanami Arisa, Hana Tsubasa, Kaheru, and Pan.

On 3 September, he jokingly premiered a "Clipper Q&A Self Intro," a play on the trending "VTuber Q&A Self Intro" with Coronetto to voice act it instead of himself, leading to many people believing it to be his actual voice.

On 6 September, Lyrica graduated from becoming a VTuber, leading to his massive decline in YouTube activity. He revealed that this is because of a number of factors, including demotivation and school life.

On 19 September, he released his very own character sheet on Twitter and YouTube, by CyanNarra.

On 10 December, he streamed for the first time on YouTube.

2022
On 25 January, he revealed his VRoid model made by Nile Pereira and showcased it on stream.

From this point forward, he became mostly inactive on YouTube, only streaming and uploading clips from time to time due to juggling school and commissions.

On 18 June, he celebrated his birthday and mentioned on stream that his older sister gave him a small cake with his VTuber model designed on it, revealing that she is aware of his VTuber activities.

On 26 October, he was called out by an anonymous user on now-defunct Facebook page Vtuber Pinas: Virtual Confessions. The post started off asking why PH clippers are non-existent, and proceeded to push the blame on clippers like Chips and their sudden inactivity leading to PH VTubers barely getting any exposure. In response, he joked about “finally getting cancelled” on Twitter and laughed it off due to its absurdity and blatant entitlement.

On 12 December, Project Kokonatsu welcomed Chips as their 18th member.

On 17 December, he debuted as Chips 2.0, a Live2D model by Slowizx, CyanNarra, and Yana.
