    If we’re going down, we’re going down together, I suppose. How romantic.

    God, what a saga this has been. 😂

    Well SOMEONE thought it'd be funny to change my username while we were on chat (and it was, I laughed the whole time), and now I can't change it back. Soooooo Peaches is gonna be Dr. Pepper for a while, I fear.
    (Honestly, I'm still laughing over it. God, this was the pick-me-up I needed after today :clara_ani_lili: )
    I wanna love X Studio so badly. I love the layout, I love the voices, it has so much potential for growth... but it's so SLOW if you have standard internet connection. I make one edit, and playback takes twenty seconds. It's like attempting to run V5 on a dual-core laptop all over again, but with significantly less flexibility.

    I really like it's concept and think it has a lot of potential, but I feel like if they can release an offline version of it, it would be easier to use and more people could use it. I have internet issues occasionally, which is why I haven't used it, or the web editor of SynthV yet.
    ...sooooooo Bili is no longer accepting video submissions from Europe, Japan, or the US.

    Fuck.
    Wow. I dunno about y’all, but I’m SO glad this is the mod that runs the entrance point to the entire fandom! I’m glad she really goes out of her way to make newcomers and members from all stretches feel welcome and wanted.

    Pfft.

    yeah the way she comments on other people's harmless opinions is really dumb. i'm just saying that it makes sense for her to be dismissing people so easily, given her past experiences with the fanbase (which was considered a "weaboo fanbase" historically, anyway). i'm not excusing it or saying its a good first impression. plus i agree that she doesn't handle her modding privileges very well. there are better things to do than respond with "um, actually" to a million comments a day :confused:

    My goodness, is her response to anything "weaboo" or "anime fans"?
    Yes, the fandom does have anime fans, but what do you expect when almost all the voicebanks are represented by anime-style characters? If everyone looked like the VYs or Lola and Leon I bet it wouldn't have any anime fans.
    The fact that this is her response to people's sadness to Piko is incredibly insensitive. No one is a weaboo just because they're sad a vocaloid is essentially dead. I bet if this was about Sonika or any v2 engloid she wouldn't care and probably would respond to any "I never liked this vocaloid anyways" comments with a text wall of why this v2 engloid is better then every other vocaloid and it's discontinuation has destroyed vocal synths forever.
    Okay, that was probably a bit dramatic, but I think you get my point :kyo_ani_lili:
    (Also, I believe Wikia has a rule against gatekeeping, mocking, etc or any behavior like that since they're now under the "Fandom" label now, so the Vocaloid Wikia is no longer independent and is part of a group with established rules and has to represent said group and it's rules(Ex. If you go to the page of songs like "Wash My Blood", the lyrics have been removed and in their place it says "This page's lyrics have been omitted due to violation of Fandom's Terms of Use. "). So she's representing Fandom very poorly as a mod and has broken several rules with her behavior yet still is allowed to be a mod somehow.)

    Edit: I just want to clarify I'm not a Wikia/Fandom member, so if they don't have rules like that then forgive me as I'm not familiar with their rules.

    @Stardust actually you weren’t being dramatic lol. That IS how she responds to everyone
    I propose a storming of the Vocaloid Wiki. We attack in droves and troll every major page. But instead of posting hateful or irrelevant things, we post an outpouring of love and joy and support. Drown out the bitterness and hate and gatekeeping with unrelenting positivity; that’s my theory.
    Are we gatekeeping exhaustion now? I had the audacity to yawn in front of a woman with a stroller and another little girl while ringing them up, and she asked if I had kids too; when I said no, she laughed and said “Oh, sweetie! You’re not tired. You can’t be tired unless you have kids.”

    Gee, thanks lady! My chronic insomnia is cured!

    when people say stuff like that they basically mean: "you can only feel true frustration if you're me, cause i have the worst problems and i'm not considerate enough to care about yours". so dumb.

    I yawn all the time, but I actually have sleeping issues that have been around since I was really little. (Brain is basically hyperactive and I usually can only go to bed around midnight because of it). I didn't know my yawning issues meant nothing unless I had a kid. :P
    I’ve been sitting here lamenting that I can’t buy Muxin because I messed up with Taobao so badly that I can’t even get into my accounts to terminate them, and I just resigned myself to the knowledge that I’d never be able to get him (or at least couldn’t get him until Anicute starts selling him, and God knows when that’ll be), since Superbuy won’t purchase downloads for you.

    Which is the exact same issue I had with Haiyi and Cangqiong Gen2.

    An issue I resolved by finding a proxy that DOES handle downloads.

    I'm adding the finishing touches to the mix, though I'm debating when to post this... I could have it up by tomorrow, either before or after work, but it would either be early or late and risks minimal exposure... I'm really not sure why I'm thinking over it so hard. I usually don't do this to this extent with covers, and it's more experimental than something genuinely... I dunno, good? I always want my stuff to sound good, but I'm usually not this picky about it until AFTER it's published, heh.

    Ah, I need Dr. Pepper. And maybe some vodka. And an Ambien or three, that would be nice.
    I think I'm almost finished with this Aiko cover! I'm fairly certain this is as much power as I can coerce out of her without making her sound outright unpleasant... I'm hoping the results will sound even better once they're properly mixed.
    Soooooooooo how DO you buy from Taobao? Every time I make an account, it's IMMEDIATELY suspended, and I can't buy anything. I want MUXIN DAMMIT

    @Rylitah Ah, if you would be so kind? I don't suppose I'm in any rush, but I WOULD like to buy him with my next paycheck!

    Okay, so he says setting up a Taobao account is a process to set up and he'd like to work with you for troubleshooting 0: Do you have any other social media accounts he could contact you on? If not, he said he's fine with making an account here to message you!
    peaches2217
    peaches2217
    Thank you for contacting him!! My concern is, I've already used up my phone number and my email... how else would I be able to set up an account? I can't figure out how to deactivate those accounts so I can try again.
    The coaster I went on earlier, coming to a standstill halfway through: “READY TO LAUNCH.”

    The woman sitting behind me: “NO WE’RE NOT, GET ME OFF.”

    ...If y’all are ever in Branson, you’ve GOTTA ride Time Traveller. I couldn’t feel my legs for a solid ten minutes afterward.

    Holy shit. I’m glad you were safe in the end though!! And Thunderation? They got rid of the option to ride backward :kaito_lili: But it’s still lots and lots of fun!! I didn’t get to ride my old favorite, Wildfire, because my dad and stepmom wanted to catch a show and we would’ve been late if I didn't get out of line... still, I think Time Traveller is my new favorite! It’s horrifying in the best way possible.

    my dad took my whole family there for like several years but literally no one else in our family likes roller coasters at ALL, nor do me or my sister like country music so uhhhhhh

    i still regret not buying that log flume ride picture of me tho, it was the purest expression of fear I've ever had and it was so freaking funny

    wait you can't ride backwards anymore ;-; whyyy
    In that respect, I’ve always wanted to make Kiyoteru Rock sing Engrish metal. Bruce Dickinson’s range might go a biiiiiit higher than Kiyoteru’s, but it’d still be fun to try! Maybe just a brief section of something, like the opening to If Eternity Should Fail. Or the opening to The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg, which would test his lower range quite well.

    ...I get these ideas again JUST as I’m starting a vacation where I’ll be away from my laptop the whole weekend. Nnnnnnnnnn
    I wish more metal bands made instrumental versions of their songs... do you know how badly I wanna cover Satellite 15/The Final Frontier? Maiden please I’ll give you like $20

    Hmm... It seems YouTube has various Iron Maiden instrumental versions available:



    Etc...

    peaches2217
    I know various instrumentals are available! Just... none of the ones I seem to want (sans Reincarnation, assuming it’s still up). Working the vocals out myself won’t be a problem - I have a good third of their discography memorized by heart, so it’s only a matter of finding quality backing tracks for songs I wanna cover.

    @uncreepy if... if you could do that for Satellite 15, I’d be eternally grateful :yohioloid_lili:

    If there's no karaoke version, or if some engineer hasn't leaked the stems, then you're SOL.

    As an aside, I have to wonder how stems do leak. Some apparently come from Guitar Hero (I've no experience with those sorts of games), but others supposedly come from engineers who swap and trade stems like baseball cards or something. This latter makes sense considering how many isolated tracks from 1980s pop and rock can be found on YouTube. I guess that as stems get older, they pass through enough hands that they eventually wind up in the possession of someone willing to upload to the internet.

    Weird things I think about...
    I swear, being a cashier has become an integral part of my identity... I routinely fall asleep muttering "Did you find everything alright? Would you like to round that total up? That extra change goes to support our local schools. I'll get that receipt for you!", because it's so ingrained in me, especially with the hours I've been working lately.

    I'm praying we get new hires soon. It's sapped my desire to work on covers. I just wanna come home and watch videos and chat with my girlfriend. Give me my vocalsynth passion back!

    dude i feel that; when i worked at my local Nandos i’d go to sleep muttering “hello what can i get for you today...coming right up...here’s your menu...”
    God help me. Muxin? Minus? And to add insult to injury, Tatcha's now offering Afterpay?
