  • Oh! Has anyone taken advantage of the Cryptonloid discount yet? This is such an exciting time 🥺
    Either in spite of or because I abandoned ship the moment I realized I wasn’t feeling right, I find myself ready to return much, much sooner than anticipated. Sooooooooo hey VVN, you’re stuck with Peaches again!

    Now time to catch up.
    I’ve returned briefly from the abyss to bring a message of joy: Big Fish Audio’s big sale is happening now! This is one of the very rare opportunities to get discounted Cryptonloids! (Remember to use the appointed coupons though, as it doesn’t automatically apply the discount.)
    Welp! Time to slink back into the abyss once more. See ya when I see ya, VVN. It was nice being back for a bit.
    I ordered that pin of Pete on 20lbs of cocaine. Best $31.94 I’ve ever spent.

    Actually, with the hours I’ve been putting in at work, my paychecks have been a sight for sore eyes. I’ve been in a withdrawal from lack of online (read: vocalsynth) shopping, and I came reeeeeeaaaaaaaally close to giving in and getting Kiyo V4 Complete... but I figured an overpriced low-quality enamel pin would be a good compromise. It fulfills that same need at a fifth of the price. And anyway, not like I could use Kiyo until I get that new laptop...

    I think I’m gonna pin it to my collar at work. Assuming my managers will allow it. Surely they will.
    Hmm. Y’all know what we’ve had too much of lately in our vocalsynth community? Drama and arguing. You know what we’ve gone without? Love and positivity.

    Y’all are all doing great, and I’m very proud. Things are rough, and fun/baffling drama is getting blown massively out of proportion; don’t let that get you down. The world is a better place with you in it, so remember to put yourself and your well-being first. Drink water. I love y’all.
    When I was in choir in middle school, my choir director always said that a disastrous lead-in meant that the final performance would be flawless.

    I really hope the same is true for CeVIO. I honestly do.

    While we’re on the topic of “Things prominent male figures in my life have said”, my head manager always blames especially rude customers on the full moon, and insists that’s when they come around in droves. Considering there’s two full moons this October, and considering some of the stuff I’ve been seeing lately, I’ve gotta say I agree.

    God, is it so hard to be civil?

    I just want AI to succeed well enough so that we can get Pro. It seems like it is the proper successor to the original CeVIO, which would hopefully mean we can get all the old VBs for it back.
    Cryptonloids as things my head manager has said

    :miku_lili: “I’m rich. $20 means nothing to me.”

    :rin_smile_lIlI: “You have no idea how many OSHA violations I'm committing right now.”

    :len_smile_lili: “That dude’s wearing a crop top. Why is that dude wearing a crop top? ...well, I guess if I had abs that chiseled, I’d wanna flaunt it too. More power to him.”

    :luka_lili: “I’ve been saying ‘I’m too old for this shit’ since I was in my 20s. Don’t worry: it’s all downhill from here.”

    :meiko_lili: “One of these days, when you get married and have kids, you’ll learn that there’s no greater joy in life than leaving them with their grandparents and getting wasted with your spouse at a cheap bar downtown.”

    :kaito_smile_lili: “My youngest son’s really into that one scene... what’s it called? BDM, BDSM? That music that’s all WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP? ...EDM. Yeah, that’s what he’s into.”
    Now I think I understand how anti-Crypton diehards feel watching them fumble with NT. Not to say I hate CeVIO, and I’m not sure how much involvement they even have in this... but damn, this train wreck gets worse and worse and it’s almost fun to watch at this point. It kinda hurts too, but I can’t look away.

    Should Kaf ever have any say in it, she needs a new team.
    CeVIO has joined the ranks of EmVoice and NT when it comes to “developers who don’t know what the fuck they’re doing”. I know it’s not specifically on CeVIO’s developers, but Kafu’s team is just... they’ve earned this spot.

    At least we have SynthV and Utau and Vocaloid. That’ll get us by for now.

    I am so heartbroken over the news. Why even bother to do the poll if they were going to choose B no matter what?:kaito_lili:I do not know why CeVIO is allowing Kafu's team to act like this.

    It’s so unprofessional. Like, what in the absolute fuck is going on 😂

    And yeah, Project Sekai similarly restored my faith! And I do wish Crypton would hire on some more people... they could do with a larger team. It would take a lot of stress off of them I think.

    It reminds me of how unprofessional some Vocaloid developers used to be, especially around V3 and V4. I wonder if that is why Yamaha does not seem interested anymore:marie_ork_lili:
    The sad part is, CeVIO's main developers are most likely professional(I say "most likely" only because they have not given us much info regarding AI or Pro), but this incident is going to look bad on CeVIO, even if they were not directly involved.
    I now own 2/3rds of the Peach & Lily collection. I have a problem.

    I also got a huge pack of those acne dots! After hearing all my skincare groups swear by them, I figured I’d try them for myself. So far so good: put one on a spot today, peeled it off four hours later, and that spot was GONE.

    So now I’m covered in ‘em. My mom panicked and thought I’d gotten shingles.

    @peaches2217 Thanks for the link! I'll check the top two drugstores in Britain (Boots and Superdrug) as well since skincare has been taking off around here, so they might have either the original product or something similar in stock.

    @Krin this serum is one that many swear by! The Ordinary is amazing if you wanna look at more of their products. (Just... don’t bother with their Moisturizing Factors. It’s their one truly terrible product.) If you’re in the US, Walmart and Dollar General carry Stridex; the max-strength pads are safe for daily use, provided you moisturize well after using them. Purito and Some By Mi are some Korean brands that are amazing for acneic and sensitive skin; Some By Mi’s mineral sunscreen is my HG SPF.

    Oooh I think I tried a sample of something by Some By Mi before and remember liking it so maybe I'll look that way!! tysm for the skincare suggestions :lapis_ani_lili:
    Of all the petty complaints I’ve read about the FoMT remake, I think I’ve finally found the pettiest of all: someone was deeply upset and pretty much disowned the game because the UK release used the same translation as the American release, rather than re-translating it into “PROPER English”.

    ...like... what??? That’s literally how the English translations have been handled in this series for the past TWENTY-FOUR YEARS.
    The fun part about extremely long-distance relationships: experiencing in real time as your girlfriend discovers she has TLC and watches 90-Day Fiancé for the first time.
    Me: "Drugstore skincare can be just as good as expensive brand-name skincare! Don't be afraid to shop around! You can make a wonderful and deeply affective routine with nothing more than products sold at Walmart."

    Also Me: "Give me Peach & Lily or give me death"

    Every time I go to their website, I get called by my name without even having an account. It's fate, I tell you.


    (It weirded me the fuck out the first time, though, I won't lie. I forgot half their branding surrounds the peach extracts in their products and thought they were like... taking info from my computer.)
