  • I've been playing HM64 (I'm ashamed to admit I've never played it at length until recently), and... I dunno. It's just not doing anything for me. It's a wonderful game and I enjoy playing it! But I grew up on FoMT, so I can't, no matter how hard I try, get attached to the stories and quirks and plights of these characters in their original characterizations.

    Like, I don't give a shit about tool store owner Rick, but I'd die for poultry farmer Rick; baker Elli is adorable, but she's not nurse Elli; I feel for Karen and I'm sad to see her family crumbling at every turn, but I can't bring myself to feel so strongly because I know, in a more familiar world, her home life is stable and she herself is happy.

    I'm playing it more for the game itself than for the characters now, and I'm sad for that, because as soon as I put it up each night I forget all about it and cease to care.

    Now I know how 64 purists feel about FoMT and all of its fame. 😅

    Welp, I'm reaaaaaally glad I took that extra day off. I felt groggy and gross, felt better in the afternoon, and then spent most of the day after in bed having really strange fever dreams. Thankfully I think we're on the mend; nothing more than a sore arm I can barely lift and a general feeling of unwellness, but that's nothing, honestly.

    The dreams were the worst part. I'm gonna have to do some soul-searching and try to find out where the hell that came from.

    • While on screenshare, I pulled up one of my SynthV WIPs and played a piece of it back
    • She wasn't looking at the screen at the moment and said "Oh, you could do way better than that!", thinking I was playing someone else's cover
    • I love her so much and I'm still laughing
    I finally caved and watched that stupid pro-Pocaloid video. It’s essentially Selective Reasoning and Confirmation Bias: The Video, full of hypocrisy and entitlement. The fact that the comments are filled with people agreeing and praising him… my hair’s been falling out in clumps lately, and now I’m just gonna go bald.

    But the good news! I finally got my second dose of COVID vaccine! Feeling kinda meh, but I took today and tomorrow off just in case. I’ve got a lovely girlfriend, two cuddly kittens, and HM64 to help me through it!

    Ginger Pete:



    HE'S LITERALLY BRUNETTE IN THE LOGO, HOW DO YOU JUST OVERLOOK THAT

    Okay, but Pete being smothered by animals, cuddling potatoes, and getting pissed on by his dog while cooing "I'm so happy~" makes this forgivable. Sorta.

    As a ginger, I'm enjoying this unexpected and non-canon ginger representation. :ROFL:

    Seeing characters with red hair makes me so happy as a ginger, even if its just a coloring mistake, i will gladly scream over ginger characters!
    I've been gone because work this week has been terrible and I've had no energy, but I finally have some good news:

    Ya girl won an auction for one V2 Gakupo~ :gackpo_ani_lili:
    There's goofing, and then there's giving your finger a good, hefty exposure to battery acid while trying to revive your Nintendo Wii. Hopefully it's fairly localized. I can't afford a doctor over something this silly. 😅

    I mean, I can't afford a doctor at all, but especially not when the reason is "I wanted to play HM SNES on the Virtual Console again and I was too excited to use proper protection".

    The good news is, I got it all up and running! I think I'll go for Best Girl Nina again this time~

    Vinegar helps with clean up but you probably know it
    The REAL reason it took Maiden six years to make a new album.

    Semi-sidenote: Have you ever watched Sam Dunn's Flight 666 documentary?

    Of course I have! I wouldn’t be a true Maiden fan if I hadn’t. :clara_ani_lili:

    I ask because Flight 666 was my introduction to Iron Maiden.

    It’s a dull story, but when I started university I was surprised by the number of music students wearing Iron Maiden T-Shirts. The logo was familiar to me, and for some inexplicable reason I knew the name of Eddie. However, I just thought Iron Maiden was an 80s metal band that had gone the way of the dodo, so the T-shirts confused me.

    Eventually I did a course on music and identity, and for my paper I wrote about Al Namrood. (Which turned out to be an excellent topic choice.) During my research on black metal, I came across Mr. Dunn’s documentaries, some of which I could access through my university library. I subsequently watched Flight 666 in a deliberate attempt to understand why Iron Maiden T-shirts were still a thing.

    In the end, I do understand the appeal. Even my parents watched Flight 666, and although they found both the music tiring on the ears and the lyrics difficult to hear, they also understood the appeal of Iron Maiden.

    As an epilogue, my university has access to a database of old pop/rock articles, and I found an Iron Maiden interview from 1982 where they say the same thing about making sure to always put on a good show because the fans pay money for the tickets. Professionalism! (And in that same interview Mr. Harris also states that he is approaching his thirties, which means that he’ll have to start looking for a normal job because it’s not possible to keep playing metal past your twenties.)
    Hmm. I spent the better part of the day digging through my stuff at my dad's, and while I successfully retrieved my Wii and most of my games, I can't find Animal Parade... is anyone knowledgeable about Homebrew? I know about Dolphin for PC, and I have Homebrew installed on my Wii because I've got a few TLE BokuMono games (modded versions of the games where the gender requirements for marriage are removed), but I can't find anything about whether you can emulate a digital copy of a Wii game on the Wii itself. I've tried emulating Tree of Tranquility on my laptop and it does NOT like Dolphin, at all.

    And before anyone @s me, yes I own or have owned all of these games legally. C'mon, I'm a BM slut that cries when I do anything even remotely shady, you think I wouldn't support them financially before emulating? :clara_ani_lili:

    Ah, in digging for answers, I got sidetracked and ended up finding this gem again, and now I'm not as stressed anymore. :lapis_lili:

    I DID IT

    I looked at something I was doing (trying to cover a CosMo song with Rikka in spite of SVS crashing if I accidentally double-clicked, specifically), acknowledged that I was stressed and not having fun... and closed out of it instead of pressing on.

    Days like this make me think I AM improving. Maybe I really am.
    Ooh! As thanks for ordering Maika, I've been given a special discount on Clara and Bruno! If only they had given me one for Maika when I bought Clara and Bruno full price. :kaito_lili: The good news: that means I can share my discount with someone else!

    So if anyone's looking to add either of the lovely duo to their collection, their downloads are each 10€ off or 20€ off as a duo (bringing them to 39€ apiece and 69€ together). Their boxed price is still the same. Just hit me up!
    The good thing about the casual manner with which I approach purchasing synths: it's prepared me for the Super Deluxe Boxset Edition of Senjutsu. If the earliest of the preorder listings are correct, it's gonna be about $125 before tax.

    2015 Peaches felt a sense of sacrifice when she dished out $30 for The Book of Souls when it dropped. 2021 Peaches is ready to pay rent a week early so she can hurry up and preorder this.
    The key to making Songman sound more natural in his pronunciation: lowering his OPE/Mouth parameter. Boom! Instant relaxed pronunciation.

    Yes I'm starting a new cover instead of finishing the Fukase cover, don't @ me. After working with that trainwreck of a VB I deserve this.
    I finally accomplished my long-time goal of finishing that freaking Fukase cover! Rather than do something silly like polishing the tuning and starting on the mix, I've spent the past two hours updating my List of BokuMono Favorites.

    I've earned this.

    Alright! I've put out two covers in a week and will be putting out a third once the art is completed. Since SVS currently has a bug that makes working in it frustrating, I'm going to FINALLY finish that Fukase cover! I will!

    Hopefully. 😅
