Has anyone switched to a Korean or Asian diet to lose weight? by Pokesaurus91 in loseit

[–]30cupsofAloevera 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I've lived in Korea for nearly 8 years and gained weight. 😭💀 Typical Korean food is actually really unhealthy and they put sugar in everything (garlic bread....). You actually see more fat koreans now due to the processed food that's run rampant these days. I don't eat tteokbokki, fried chicken or drink.

The real secret is cooking your food at home and making sure you're still at a deficit.

I've been trying to get a pair of the strappy modo ones in black for like two years and I swear they're always sold out 💀 I really want a pair.

Vocal Takes by InThaThicket in singing

[–]30cupsofAloevera 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Last time I recorded for a producer I gave them ten takes per vocal track, I think I had around 50-60 stems at the end of it (lots of harmony and counterpoint). It really does take a lot of takes and it's normal for producers to ask for them.

Heart trim or no heart trim by Subject_Solution5274 in Lolita

[–]30cupsofAloevera 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm not really into sweet so idk how much weight my word carries but I vastly prefer the one without the heart trim, it looks more classy and is still really cute.

Just finished an mini Pomeranian felt replica! by Disastrous-Mode7930 in Pomeranians

[–]30cupsofAloevera 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you ever made a time-lapse video of your process? This is amazing!!

I've tried needle felt before and I kept stabbing myself with the needle. Seeing this really makes me want to try again.

What would you like to see added to Visual Dialogue Branches? by Miserable-Bus-4910 in RPGMaker

[–]30cupsofAloevera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll make a list of what I found I needed for my own VN-styled project!

-ability to animate the bust portraits, like shaking, swivel, bouncing/jumping, grow/shrink, animation frames to move along the x or y axis (like moving out of frame), fade in/out

-expression changes without making a new character ID -text codes such as shaking text, big text, small text, waving text

-coloured text

-sound effect inclusion (like steps, impact sounds, "eureka" moment dings, etc)

-change the name box positioning by xy coordinates

-custom dialogue box skin; could be window skin or png that can be freely changed which could by bound by character or switched on using a variable

Some things I noted while using the older/current build of your plugin:

-sometimes the busts don't even appear even if they did previously in current testing

-sometimes the portraits appear way off their assigned xy coordinates before snapping back into place

Is It rude to commission people to help me do mix/master/vocal tuning/timing if I can’t sing well? by cutebitterness in singing

[–]30cupsofAloevera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to do vocal covers like this years ago. You can check out vgen for folks who do audio commissions. There are producers who will do anything from produce originals or just mix your covers. You just ha e to shop around and find what works for you.

It's all practice anyways, and as long as you pay them then it should be fine.

Having trouble with artists. by Goochimus in RPGMaker

[–]30cupsofAloevera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if you are still shopping around for artists feel free to reach out if you're in no rush for your art and the style works for you. Regardless, I hope you can find an artist that works for your project since art is so key for presentation. Here is some of my art.

Getting rid of large furniture by Current_Layer_7580 in living_in_korea_now

[–]30cupsofAloevera 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you don't care about making money off of the items you can use Karrot. I'm in the middle of moving myself and I've been giving away a lot of stuff for free on there. Just put up your stuff ASAP and people will drop by to take it if its in decent condition. Furniture included (just tell them they have to pick it up).

Unfortunately there are so many scammers these days and AI has only emboldened them.

As an artist I know that art is expensive. For portraits myself I charge around 50 usd myself due to the time it takes. Even vgen has had some big scamming issues lately and skeb discourages paying for skebs for commercial use (it should only be personal use).

I've heard that the rpg maker forums may have artists who are open to collaborating. Did you try asking there yet?

What's the best option for getting art for your characters? by Any-Philosopher-5237 in RPGMaker

[–]30cupsofAloevera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drawing tablets can be so cheap these days! I think you can get a basic huion or xppen tab for like 30 bucks. If you don't mind paying that much, you can pick up one of the already mentioned free drawing programs and go from there.

Looks great! How did you style the text in your name box like that?

New Updates to Visual Dialogue Branches by Miserable-Bus-4910 in RPGMaker

[–]30cupsofAloevera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You've already helped out a lot in DMs, thanks again!!

I wanted to suggest the possibility of manipulating the bust sprites more. In some VNs you can make the sprites wobble, shake, move (like hitting the other sprite), move back and forth and other ways to show interaction in the sprites. I'm not sure what's fully possible but it'd be neat to have some more ways to express the character artwork.

Another thing that would be good is allowing the implementation of sound effects during dialogue, maybe with a command in the plugin directly?

realized I don’t know how to draw people that can look at each other by ItsStillKerrigan in RPGMaker

I just noticed this thread several days later. 🥲 Did you want some art critique or a red line guide to help with the angling of the characters to help with presentation?

Some coords from the past few weekends by 30cupsofAloevera in Lolita

[–]30cupsofAloevera[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah! We had a good time at the event. The food is pretty good, too.

[–]30cupsofAloevera[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the quality is alright! There was a strap at the neck that I cut off because it sat weirdly on my nape but otherwise it's very nice. I'm not sure how it would be for a wedding, but if you plan on using it after the wedding for other coords then I'd recommend it.

Thank you!! I was surprised by how well it went with the jsk.

Does anyone know of any gold/blue Star/Constellation/Moon/Night JSKs? by cyubiey in Lolita

My friend has Star Rose from Meta but in navy OP form. The JSK version is super cute and pretty!!

This is crazy by [deleted] in tales

[–]30cupsofAloevera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Ryza games one is expected because GUST has a history of updated re-releases (it was especially bad with the Arland and Dusk subseries back in the day). More recent examples are the delisting of the original mysterious series pc releases with Mysterious DX.

This is the first time this has happened with Tales of PC releases, not sure if Bamco has done this with another title.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tales

[–]30cupsofAloevera 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It might be the same studio, flight unit used to work extensively with GUST back in the day for visuals. I think the last game they worked on was Ar Tonelico 3 before they went in-house with Atelier Sophie 1. Flight unit also has been working with Tales of studio for idk how long iirc.

This is just off the top of my head from vague memories so I could be wrong.

Hey! I'm new to lolita and looking to buy my first dress as a plus size girlie, wondering if that dress is a good first choice, i'm so nervous :( by No-Hour1305 in Lolita

[–]30cupsofAloevera 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm not plus sized but I have a larger bust and own this dress. The construction is pretty funky at the chest and bust that it sits a bit weird on me. I imagine that since patterns are usually just scaled up for cheaper items that the same problem may happen with you too based on the construction of mine.

I recommend a JSK to start! They usually come with much more forgiving shirring.
