    I'm actually excited about the swimming and diving update. I haven't checked on my town for about a month now, so I'm worried about what it might look like once I boot the game up lol.

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

    I've heard Avast can be a bit sensitive with certain programs, and you might need to bug the devs to approve something if it's triggering the antivirus. (I use AVG and I don't have NT, so I can't comment if the new update is triggering other antivirus programs).

    I stopped playing around the time of the stamp rally event as well. Haven't popped back in for the wedding event because it doesn't interest me.

    Miriam is still my favourite Engloid to this day (despite being a retired VB), but Avanna can do Miriam's niche with better quality and ongoing software support. But at this point, I'd still be down for another Miriam Stockley VB on another synth, since Zero G doesn't seem to be interested in...

    I might be brave and try out the Storm sample then. I've had surprise luck with blushes that say they're mauve (or lean purple) on the packaging, but turn out pink on me. I think Puff might be too bright to really show up on my skin. My skin is a cool-toned pale, but I've never thought about...

    Briefly reviving my own thread... I finally took a plunge last week and made my first Glossier order, and the parcel came this Wednesday. I ordered the Perfecting Skin Tint and the Stretch Concealer, and so far, I'm liking both of them - as expected from reviews, they both feel light and don't...

    Like, love, hate?

    It's been a couple of years since I last did this. Why not do it again? :tongue: (I'm also being cheeky this time and adding other vocal synths I like lol.) Precious Teal Goddess: Miku. Love: Gumi, Meiko, Miriam, Lapis, Tianyi, Luka, IA, Nana, VY1, ONE (CeVIO), Teto (UTAU), Renri (UTAU)...

    I just want more female Vocaloids with trousers. Flower V4 has been the closest so far (I think), not counting fan interpretations of designs like Cyber Diva. Female designs don't tend to get any more daring than shorts.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    @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...
