    VOCALOID Vocaloid horror / "creepy song" culture

    I wasn't that deep into the creepy side of Vocaloid, but I did notice that the songs had this habit of trying to top whatever was considered "shocking" for the time. (Compare Alice Human Sacrifice to I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry to the entire Onibi series). I dunno if people getting fed up of the...

    It's actually one of my favourite Vocaloid pairings, but it looks like it's fallen by the wayside over the years. It's also true that Gakupo barely gets paired up with anyone aside from Luka and Kaito, but a long time ago, I did see Gakupo/Gumi. I've seen some producers do this sometimes, but...

    Followup unpopular opinion: Magnet is an overrated song, and it's not even the best Vocaloid song about forbidden love out there. (One of my personal favourites is 'Alluring Secret, Black Vow', even though I don't ship Miku/Rin, which the song depicts.)

    I like Flower because she has a really obvious, tomboy-ish voice that remains unusual among Vocaloid VBs in general, not just Japanese ones, and I adore her gothic looking V3 design. But I don't love her enough to put her alongside the likes of Gumi, Meiko, IA and Tianyi in my personal 'Love'...

    SynthV CeVIO AI / Synthesizer V "Koharu Rikka" Thread

    If the final stretch goal is hit, I will be totally down for a Rikka VB on any engine. Her design is super cute and somewhat unique for a schoolgirl design, and her character could really benefit from having both a speaking and a singing bank.

    Other Cryptonloid voicebank updates, collabs, & concert news (crypton_wat Twitter translations)

    Why would Crypton make a snazzy new vocal synth engine, only to just limit it to six (if you separate Rin and Len) first party VBs? I can definitely see them either making new Cryptonloids, or licensing the software out to third party devs (imagine if Gumi or even Teto moved to NT). I'm not sure...

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons Discussion

    I didn't even know there were secret coves on all the islands until Redd was announced and he was shown to park his boat there lol. (My dumb ass didn't register the rocks and sand at the top of my map as accessible at first). Plus, my cove is on a first floor level that was blocked off by rivers...

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons Discussion

    I thought terraforming would be fun, but in practise I just end up feeling annoyed at how everything looks lol. I made a path deep inside a level of land in order to reach the secret cove Redd parks at, but I had to get rid of a river to do that and now I don't like the end result. I might just...

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons Discussion

    @uncreepy: I do agree that once you get deep in the game, its flaws become more apparent. The lack of interesting chitchat from the villagers bums me out, because they used to cycle between more interesting convos in the previous games. Trying to get five stars is also tedious, especially since...

    Is anyone on here experiencing fatigue with New Horizons now? I've been playing pretty much every day since it came out, and since I got K.K. to come to my island, I've been increasingly losing both the motivation and the patience to tinker with my island every day. Not much is happening in-game...

    VOCALOID Why do you think not many professional producers use English Vocaloids? Discuss.

    I think there's two big reasons: 1.) Vocal synths in general are seen as "creepy" by Westerners, because when poorly tuned, they sound like they're trying to imitate humans, but at the same time, they don't sound human at all. (The "uncanny valley" reaction). Of course, some producers...

    We don't really have outlets in the American sense in the UK, apart from TK Maxx I guess. And even then, I hate browsing TK Maxx bcause it's perpetually like a jumble sale in there and it's hard for me to navigate, so I just avoid it entirely. I did end up checking TK Maxx's makeup section just...

    My acne used to be a lot worse when I was a teen, but I don't know now if it was crappy foundation causing it, or just hormones (because teen woes). I definitely agree with the whole foundation being important for skincare bit, and forking out a bit more for foundation. A bad foundation will...

    To be fair, drugstore brands have gotten a lot better regarding pale shades over the last ten years, but I still find duds every so often - usually foundations that either pull too yellow for my pink undertoned skin, oxidise orange on me, or just look too dark despite claiming to be a...

    I'm thinking of making my first "sort of fancier makeup than the drugstore" purchase be the Glossier Perfecting Skin Tint and Stretch Concealer. I've come to the conclusion now that normal foundations are just way too heavy on my skin, but tracking down something that doesn't turn orange on my...

    I like male voicebanks (though I've just noticed that I don't have any male voices that are part of my personal 'Love' tier, which might say something), but I think the problem is that male voices are less common for most, if not all vocal synth programs compared to female ones, so there are...

    VOCALOID How do you guys discover new VOCALOID music?

    I'm another lazy person who just uses YT's recommended tab, but success is very much 50-50... While I have discovered gems that way, I've also tended to find stuff I don't like. Plus, the tab is now broken in the sense that it keeps recommending stuff you've already watched.

    Apologies for double posting again, but apparently, the art forgeries from Redd are haunted this time, as demonstrated in this video. WARNING: Skip the first 17 seconds if you want to avoid a screamer! But seriously, where the hell is Redd getting his art from this time? This is some horror...

    Shows/movies You like that most people seem to dislike?

    I was surprised to learn that some people hated the sequel, because I really enjoyed it as well. I especially liked how it expanded on the idea of how a world where supers were banned from working functioned, because it showed more or the conclusions from such a thing. But I do agree with the...
