  • Chis-A english is a paid subscription. T_T nooo

    Honestly, I think it’s pretty fair! Their reasoning for the paid subscription model is reasonable (VPs get continued monetary gain for their contributions, and in turn the VBs can be fed new data and updated freely and quickly as technology improves), and the option of a monthly subscription makes her an even better, more affordable option for people who might only use her a few times.

    Oh yeah I know. It was more a reaction to getting a bunch of news about products that cost money yesterday and I don’t have any to spend. It was just a pipe dream that she’d be a free vb.(I’m also not very good with subscriptions, cause I never know when I’ll be able to work with the products.)
    Atelier Marie remake, new Professor Layton, and Chis-a english!! I’m so excited! (Now all Nintendo has to do is create Style Savvy for the switch)
    As much as I've been enjoying playing video games to fill my brain while I can't work, I'm really reaching a place where I just need to be in a space where I have a desk and can work on stuff. It's just really frustrating to be crammed into such a small space for so many years and have to stay up crazy hours just to get some peace.(The staying up started because of long covid, but it's partially become just needing some time to not be stressed out by everyone else's stress and to be alone. Even though it means I can't work because it's too late and I have chores to do.)
    I've been getting some bits where my brain is working, but I can't handle the stress/upset and time suck that is unpacking things I need to work, only to get an hour in and packing it all up again. This calculation does include being interupted by my mom, asking me for input on legal issues that she is working on (I have some understanding of the law, but really she needs a lawyer friend or someone who understands the law to talk to), on a frequent basis and me having to actually clean any surface I use everytime I use it because the cats sit/walk/eat on every surface(except the kitchen counter) and my lapdesk sits on the floor which has mold growing in it.
    I really really really want to move on. I've been stalled for four years and I am sick of seeing everyone else's lives be able to move on except for mine.(no digs at anybody here)
    I finally have a goal for myself that I believe is relativly obtainable(vtubing/streaming) and am finally starting to feel a bit better about my abilities as a vocal synth user ,but there are so many hurdles that are put in place by other people which are keeping me treading water instead of being able to focus on working on creative projects.(which keep me sane)

    I'm kinda... not surprised. Stuff kept getting cancelled and "Anime Entertainment LLC" is a ghost online. The whole project just came out of nowhere, was scheduled for an absolutely incredible number of venues, and as a result I was a little worried about the outcomes. I was excited for Gumi, KZN and a couple of other familiar faces to come to my hometown, but something felt a little off. I guess we'll see how it goes elsewhere. Maybe it'll be a great success.

    Yeah it was a bit odd, but I was hopeful that it would work out. A friend had bought tickets and they were cancelled a week or two ago, so I figured that a wholesale cancelling was coming. :/

    Tfw you are listening to a cover and it sounds really good, but there’s something missing and you realize there are no harmonies at all. It’s not even my cover and I still feel pain for the person who created it. It’s hard to hear because it has multiple voices, but there is this richness in the chorus that is missing. I think that I’ve somehow become a harmony snob T-T
    So Love Live SIF is shutting down at the end of March. :/ (Honestly though, I’m having a blast playing it again)
    I knew it was coming, but the roll out feels rushed. I get the feeling that Klab knew it was coming soon and prepared some stuff for it, but Bushiroad suddenly announced that it was the end. Hopefully the SIF2 livestream on the 9th will provide more details on what will transfer over.

    I'm still devastated over the news, especially because all the stuff that would carry over to SIF2 won't carry over for me just because they don't want to comply with EU laws... now I'm trying to figure out how to save my stuff. So much trouble just because they're rushing 😭 I don't want my decade old account to vanish into nothing...

    They are blocking anyone who has ever used an EU IP address to access the game, even via VPNs or while someone is on vacation. It is insane. I just ran into a post on reddit and some people are trying mass emailing bushiroad to get them to change.

    yeah.. I'm in a Love Live discord and a group is trying to figure out if there is ANY way to get around this. I hope they find a way or klab hears us.. sigh
    So um is no one going to talk about what 1st place is doing with IA on tiktok??? Like how did she agree to do those videos? Someone talk to her agent. TikTok
    My mom’s been rewatching Nashville and I totally forgot how good the music is. Like actually listenable country music.

    Why are people still getting on Gwen Stefani about cultural appropriation?? I don’t get it. It’s clear that she is a fan of Japanese culture(especially Harajuku culture), but I don’t see how that’s any different from so many people I’ve met online that are regarded as totally okay. Edit: It turns out that people in Japan actually don’t care about this as much as westerners do.

    With the caveat that this kind of outrage on the part of groups like asian americans can be justified, in this specific instance the anger seems to be coming from the decontextualization of what she said. Headlines, baiting for outrage, quoted her solely as saying "my god, I'm Japanese!" but the full quote reveals that she wasn't trying to imply that she literally felt like she was Japanese or that she wanted to become Japanese a la weeaboo stereotype of old, but that she thought her contact with Japanese culture in early life influenced her feeling comfortable when she first visited Japan. I barely know who Gwen Stefani is so I have nothing in this for or against her. The way she said it was unfortunate, but if it hadn't be snipped out of the larger quotation, I doubt people would be acting like this.

    The people that lash out and get angry, and the people that lash out at those who originally got angry... all of them feed engagement and page views, and make the big guy money. Algorithmically served content and Google AdSense has literally weaponized our human disposition against us.

    Thank you. That was really well said.
    Am I remembering incorrectly or was there a point in time when the vocals community was obsessed with Shiningray? edit: meant vocal synth not vocals

    It's true, I have several Shiningray utaite covers on my iPod to prove it
    This used the Cryptonloids’ vocaloid banks right?

    If you're clever enough with your mixing it's possible to mask the NTness with it to fairly high degree....but you do make a point, they do sound like the vocaloid vbs to me...

    Mhh, I think to hear their typical NT “warp noises” when they attack the notes at times, but it’s true, they sound a loot closer to their Vocaloid banks :zunko_lili:
    Stardust’s Vocaloid vb discontinuation made me think about IA and how 1st Place has shifted to promoting her Cevio AI vbs. I really hope they don’t decide to discontinue her Vocaloid vb at some point.
    I really want to draw, but my brain and hands say no. Too much overload and joint pain from long covid. I’m having a hard time. :/
