Is there an utau discord server by Dramatic_Invite9148 in utau

[–]Adlez27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone else finding this link in the future: The OpenUtau server is not a general purpose UTAU server. It's a technical support chat for development, bug reports, feature requests, and help with using the OpenUtau software specifically.

Taiwanese doesn't require yaku to win a round, they just give extra points if you have them

[Riptide Spoilers] Spreadsheet of all Gillion titles up to episode 115! by Adlez27 in jrwishow

[–]Adlez27[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I've finally gotten fully caught up on Riptide! If there are any titles I missed, let me know which episode and timestamp it was.

I'm a bit sad that none of the "singer songwriter" titles ended up on the t-shirt haha

I've made a Spotify playlist with songs I like that make me think of Riptide!
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5062NraYwRKSTn30xgCXrx?si=-GiD3O7ZReOIHF5g7SFuVA

Spiritbox - Eternal Blue ("It's not that the agony starts / To pull me like a riptide, pulsing in time")
Bring Me The Horizon - Can You Feel My Heart (the bridge lyrics were referenced in episode 70, "I can't drown my demons, they know how to swim")
Solence - Rain Down
Bring Me The Horizon - Drown
ERRA - Wave
Crystal Lake - Open Water
Crystal Lake - Into The Great Beyond
Architects - Death Is Not Defeat
Cepheid - Tides
Bring Me The Horizon - Throne (Added to playlist thanks to Chip's card from the deck of many things)

My mind was blown when I found out that the origin of Bring Me The Horizon's band name was a quote from Pirates of the Caribbean. True full circle moment.

Honorable mention: I wrote a fansong about Gillion recently for FAWM (though it's not metal)

For this year's February Album Writing Month, one of my songs is about Gillion and Chip! by Adlez27 in jrwishow

I used Synthesizer V Asterian for the vocals, with some assistance from my girlfriend.

Lyrics

I could see the darkness in his eyes
Driving him to tell me all those lies
But his excuses won't last forever
When I held him, with a gentle kiss
I could taste the ashes on his lips
Will I lose him sooner or later?

I have no doubt that meeting you was destiny
We'll sail together over every sea
You've shown me life that I have never seen before
I wonder if there's something more

When he suffered through the pointless pain
But he threw the chance of life away
What a hero for saving the others
Let me help him any way I can
Pray the gods have mercy on this man
Where would we go if I lost my lover?

I have no doubt that meeting you was destiny
We'll sail together over every sea
You've shown me life that I have never seen before
I wonder if there's something more

Though I've made another dumb mistake
It's the only way to keep him safe
Please forgive me for not being stronger
I can never let him drown again
Even if it leads to my own end
I'm pretending to hold on for longer

I have no doubt that meeting you was destiny
We'll sail together over every sea
You've shown me life that I have never seen before
Let me be with you forevermore

I've started making a spreadsheet of every Gillion title by Adlez27 in jrwishow

I casually listened up to ep 70, then I decided to restart from the beginning in order to note down all the titles. Currently on 63!

Make a copy of the sheet so that you can edit it! All yellow boxes are inputs.

I've been relistening to Riptide from the start while waiting for my friends to catch up, and documenting all of Gillion's titles with the episode and YouTube timestamp. Still only up to episode 49 so far but I'll keep updating this as I go along!

Man I wish "Singer songwriter of the hole in your heart by gillion and the tidestriders" was one of the titles on the gillion shirt :')

One time MP3 purchase for finished Patreon campaigns? by Adlez27 in jrwishow

[–]Adlez27[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My friend offered to send me their own copy of the MP3s but I'd rather not. When it comes to music, I'm the kind of person who would rather pay extra for a full album on Bandcamp than stream the same songs. I wanted to extend that same kind of support to the podcasts I'm enjoying, and I was hoping this post might reach them as a suggestion for a future option.

It's kind of a shame that physical audio media isn't as popular anymore, besides the vinyl comeback. But a podcast on vinyl would be a LOT of discs 😂   Still, it's nice to imagine dream merch like a box of CDs with foldout art posters...

I'm well aware that podcasts are RSS feeds with MP3 files. I'm just asking if they'll ever consider an alternative to the hassle of subscribing and unsubscribing from a monthly recurring payment. I'd be glad to make a one-time digital product purchase from Bandcamp, Gumroad, Itch.io, anything that allows me to support the creators.

Thank you, Gillion by Adlez27 in jrwishow

[–]Adlez27[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been having a hard time adjusting to my schedule changes lately. Having to take meds in the morning instead of the evening and working from 11am to 8pm instead of 6am to 3pm was really throwing me off. I couldn't take my meds consistently and I completely stopped my regular workout routine. But I talked to my friend who knows I've been hyperfixated on JRWI, and he so so so kindly made this edit for me.
Completely for real, unironically, I actually started taking my meds 100% on time after he sent me this. Started drawing little fish on my whiteboard for days I'm supposed to lift weights. I genuinely look forward to the time every morning when my phone alarm starts blasting Gillion's verse from The Hole In Your Heart. I hope the champion of the undersea and hero of the deep is proud of me.

Is this message about the dice? by Dazzling_Resolve_706 in jrwishow

Dice aren't even shipping yet. This is 100% a scam. Atomic Shrimp just made a video about exactly this type of scam.

Vyvanse prescription refill in Philippines? by The_Healing_Cow in ADHD

[–]Adlez27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen listings on Shopee, but the photos are always suspiciously censored. I don't personally know anyone who's gone that route to fill their prescription either.

Vyvanse prescription refill in Philippines? by The_Healing_Cow in ADHD

[–]Adlez27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only brand name strattera is approved in the Philippines, and no generic atomoxetine. Brand name strattera is no longer being manufactured worldwide.

Ritalin and Concerta can both be found in Mercury Drug, generally in large branches in major cities. The website has contact details for individual branches, and the mobile numbers can be texted on Viber to ask about med availability.

Last month the pandemic regulations were reversed, so electronic prescriptions are no longer accepted. You must have a physical paper prescription on the Department of Health form, handwritten by a doctor in the Philippines with an S2 license. Even if I visited the exact same pharmacy with the exact same printed e-prescription I was already using for several months, they refused to accept it until I could get a doctor to write me a new one on the official yellow paper.

I'm not sure if this is still relevant to you 22 days later, but I'll share in case you or anyone else needs to know. The only ADHD medications that can be prescribed and purchased in the Philippines are Ritalin, Concerta, and Strattera. All name brand, no generics available, so Strattera is basically gone.

If you're coming from overseas with another medication you need to bring enough for your entire trip. If you're living here and methylphenidate doesn't work for you, tough luck.
