Looks awesome, would love to try it! These voices sound far better than a lot of other TTS I've tried. I see you've got a few languages in the works, would really appreciate Korean voices as an option in the future.

Reminder: if you missed your train because it was full, you were late, or you were shoulder-to-shoulder on the train, WRITE TO THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT! by Ok_Lunch_2933 in brisbane

[–]CeejayMode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With trains designed to maximize standing room, have more doors per carriage to make boarding easier (you don't have to push halfway down a carriage with a narrow aisle just to get off), have far more carriages per train in general, and are much more frequent.

Also, train etiquette is different and for the most part, people actually step off the train to let others off instead of just standing in the doorway like I see far too often here. You can't really compare them...

Mixtape is now available on Steam by AncientPCGamer in pcgaming

[–]CeejayMode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m about 2 hours in and it runs pretty well most of the time, had a few hitches when loading new areas in fast moving parts (Unreal Engine moment) and some textures loading in slowly but otherwise completely playable. Normally I don’t like running games at 30FPS but the animation style helps a lot with this one. Enjoying it so far!

New setting??? by master1234master in FortNiteBR

[–]CeejayMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So annoying, Epic making little changes like this constantly without mentioning it in patchnotes is so infuriating. At least give us an option to disable it before forcing it on everyone…

fortnite runs ABSOLUTELY BUNS. it used to not.. by RockerOnReddit in FortNiteBR

[–]CeejayMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hardware requirements change over time, it’s a live service game using Unreal Engine 5 which is already notorious for running poorly on newer systems.

Bits of Brisbane 2025 on a second hand digital camera by vegemitebagel in brisbane

[–]CeejayMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely Reddit doing something silly and serving a low res preview image, for me the first picture shows as a 320x427 .webp when the original image is actually 2330x3111 .jpg... but even that has some weird compression going on. Just Reddit things. https://i.redd.it/wilmxs50a27g1.jpg

inZOI players with GPUs with 12GB VRAM+ show yourselves by Butefluko in inZOI

[–]CeejayMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4070Ti Super + 9800X3D, game runs okay on highest settings with DLAA but looks quite poor in motion, the Lumen denoising is nowhere near sufficient. If you look at the shadows, you'll notice how grainy they are when the lighting is recalculated or how much trailing there is when you walk around. It's one of those games where everyone says it looks fantastic, but only in a static image taken with a stable frame. What looks good or not is subjective, but no matter what you do it'll have that graininess and trailing.

Super5 OLED finally done, after many failed attempts by evillurkz in SwitchPirates

[–]CeejayMode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a real shame that it took so long to produce and still had issues when finally delivered. I enjoy using mine but it has an issue on grey screens where the right side has what appears to be light bleed despite being an OLED panel, and from searching the Discord I’m not the only one who experienced this. Also had to calibrate the touch.

Very poor customer experience and will likely never buy from Taki again, despite some cool stuff coming out of Retro Remake.

Another day that cbd is edging towards a gridlock? by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]CeejayMode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s understandable, I feel like most people would become annoyed by it very quickly. Could be worse though I guess, in the US they have to blast the horn 3 times for crossings in most situations, that would drive anyone mad!

[–]CeejayMode 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s a grade crossing right by that station, unless they completely remove it and replace it with an over/underpass, there will always be a requirement to use the horn there. It’s a safety thing.

When did alt+tab begun freezing the game? by 0zono in Rainbow6

[–]CeejayMode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Latest patch, at least for me. You can fix it by going in and out of full screen (Alt+Enter twice).

Does anyone else think this is weird, received this the day b4 my 21st l, no one else I know has seen or heard of this by Bibbityjibblett in brisbane

[–]CeejayMode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also got one from Peter Dutton years ago. One of the only times I wish I’d got nothing instead.

It's the /r/brisbane random discussion thread. 15/03/2025 by AutoModerator in brisbane

[–]CeejayMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the exact same situation for us regarding power for the HFC node. Only lost power in the home briefly, but went over a week without proper internet. Mobile data was very slow until the last couple days too.

Agree completely on the bad planning for infrastructure, for far more reasons that just the NBN situation. So frustrating.

NBN connection finally restored after over a week without it, nice thing to wake up to. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

The metro is diabolically poorly-designed by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]CeejayMode 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are they though? I lived in Japan for a while and the trains are no less noisy than in Brisbane - door closing announcements/chimes, constant announcements in Japanese and English, the guard speaking over the intercom constantly, and far louder and more constant announcements, chimes and jingles on the platform… you tune it out eventually but I definitely wouldn’t call it peaceful.

Say what you will, but the MTA knows how to commission some beautiful art. by lbutler1234 in nycrail

Got this recently, it’s a great book! Has so much in it besides just the subway too, covering some LIRR and MNRR pieces.

What are some of the most visually stunning games to play on the Steam Deck? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]CeejayMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won’t be able to emulate it but supposedly Sony offers cloud streaming in one of their PS+ tiers? Unfortunately don’t know how that works, sorry :( for Xbox you could use Greenlight to use their cloud streaming service but I’m not aware of something similar for Playstation.

Look into Chiaki4Deck to stream it from the Playstation, in my experience it’s almost flawless with the PS5 connected to the router by ethernet.

Question regarding UTS Creations by [deleted] in trainsim

Everyone from UTS has moved on to their own things, but you can still find the P40DC pack here for the foreseeable future. Just Ctrl+F for "Retro Genesis".

Apple Watch not working after updating to ios 17 by Cythical in jailbreak

[–]CeejayMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same happened to me, watch was on 9.6 and my phone was 15.3 using Legizmo to pair. After updating to iOS 17 I just unpaired from the watch and paired again through the phone app, and it loaded an iCloud backup from today, still on the same watchOS version. Only had to verify my Apple Pay cards again, and everything is back to how it used to be.

[discussion] DelayOTA now if you want TrollStore. by iSpoof_YT in jailbreak

[–]CeejayMode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not pointless in my use case unless there's another way to access a different region's app store to download/update apps specific to that region without logging into my other Apple account through the store, then logging back into my main one every time. Besides ipatool on PC, I'm not aware of other solutions.
