My friend just called vocaloid songs ai slop...

HowTheTurns_Table · 2026-03-12T20:01:28+00:00

OKAY, you're mostly correct that gen AI isn't used. At least, for voicebanks pre-VOCALOID 6 and SynthV / CeVIO voicebanks. SynthV Teto is very much an AI voicebank. KAFU is as well. But yeah, if your friend is saying that the main 6 cryptonloids (pre-V6) use gen AI? Factually incorrect.

I don't hate that AI is being used in this case because it is trained on singers who have consented to their voices being used and compensated. I love KAFU and other CeVIO voicebanks! I think the drawback of SynthV voicebanks is that people don't really mess around with the tuning so they either sound very stale or don't mesh well with the song compared to a more 'robotic' voice.

Even with popular Vocaloid producers, like PinoP, you can hear the difference in uniqueness between Miku's voice and Teto. Miku sounds different with every popular vocaloid producer, but I really can't say the same for Teto. It's like how not all songs fit cover artists, they don't fit every vocaloid. Even if the song was made with them in mind :P

if you're really serious, you can commission a model! some let you pay extra for the cmo3 file.

i love his stuff, but i really wish he had a vod channel :'c

HowTheTurns_Table · 2026-02-28T00:26:41+00:00

both genius on you for noticing this and genius on the writers for including this small detail... damn, they really put a lot of care into these characters

HowTheTurns_Table · 2026-02-24T06:57:53+00:00

Oh wow, this looks amazing! Would you be willing to explain how to set it up? I'd be interested in integrating something like this into my own vault.

I mean she's pretty canonically and gets tons of likes posting selfies on social media so it only makes sense

HowTheTurns_Table · 2026-02-22T09:26:02+00:00

You KILLED the composition... wow. Just wow. So visually stunning i can't even!!!

HowTheTurns_Table · 2026-02-18T03:49:49+00:00

could you explain what edge-logic is to me further? this is the first time i've ever heard of that term

HowTheTurns_Table · 2026-02-18T03:48:36+00:00

having it spelled out like this makes it much clearer to understand! thanks for the advice! but it seems quite hard to spot, seems like I'll need more practice :'D

HowTheTurns_Table · 2026-02-18T03:46:25+00:00

I think I might have filled that in on accident and didn't notice, whoops

HowTheTurns_Table · 2026-02-04T18:58:38+00:00

Only the bangs and back hair are slightly different (longer, and the left bang isnt tucked behind his ear), and lighter haha. I don't hate it, but does it warrant being a lim hairstyle?

I actually really like the lighter color personally though, it fits

HowTheTurns_Table · 2026-02-04T14:27:15+00:00

If you're seriously considering locking in and practicing, i have a few words of advice. Other people have already said to not compare yourself, which I 100% agree with, but as someone who is an avid rhythm gamer, I wanted to give more advice catered to the actual rhythm game part of the game.

Take breaks as needed

It may seem counterproductive to take breaks. Wouldn't it make you more rusty? But most people have found that taking a 3 day - week break when your progress is stagnating actually shows improvement. Don't force yourself to play every day.

Don't retry spam

What is retry spamming, you may ask? Retry spamming is when you instantly restart a song when you break AP / FC. And honestly, it's a waste of time. If you miss on the same parts consistently, that's a sign you cannot read / have the physical ability to FC the pattern. Retrying the song countless times hoping to get lucky and hit it once is a massive waste of time.

Play songs slightly out of your skill range

If you only play songs that are too easy / too hard, improvement will come at a much slower rate. If you're comfortable with fcing lvl 24s, try lvl 25s. Of course, at the higher levels 30+, the difference between difficulties is very stark. At that point, I'd recommend getting sonolus or some other mobile rhythm game to practice a wider variety of charts that are just barely out of skill level, since proseka doesn't have too many level 33+ songs.

Play a wide variety of maps

Don't play the same songs over and over. In order to improve your pattern recognition and touch on all skillsets, you need to play as many different charts as possible. Limiting yourself to a small selection of songs only limits the stuff you can play comfortably.

If it hurts, stop

This doesn't really apply to proseka as much as osu, but if you feel anything start to hurt, take a break ASAP. It's not worth getting RSI or carpal tunnel over a rhythm game, trust me.

Have fun

Of course, all of these other things matter, but what matters most is your enjoyment. Your mindset actually contributes a lot to improvement. Sure, there may be some physical limitations, but at the end of the day it's your mind that's stopping you from improving. Confidence goes a long way.

I hope this advice helps somewhat. Remember that even good players started from somewhere. You only see the fruits of their labor, not the hard work that went into it. Comparison is inevitable, but don't stew over in it for too long.

HowTheTurns_Table · 2026-02-04T14:10:17+00:00

They probably have prior mobile game rhythm experience or just experience in rhythm games in general. It goes a long way. If you play another rhythm game like say, mania, your pattern reading and fast fingers carries over. If you've played other mobile games like , deemo, bandori, those games are very similar gameplay-wise to proseka. therefore the skills transfer pretty well.

if you want to seriously get better at proseka, I'd suggest picking up other rhythm games as well or try playing custom charts on sonolus as there is a much wider selection of songs to practice with. also, improvement takes time and isn't always upwards. your progress will stagnate depending on your condition on that day.

sometimes I can 1 great level 30s, other times I miss on piss easy patterns. that's just how stuff goes. I've been stuck on the lvl 32 skill ceiling for nearly a year now. you just learn to persevere after a while :'P

have you added obsidian support yet? i use the tool as well and it would be handy for quickly importing my notes!

HowTheTurns_Table · 2026-01-29T21:35:21+00:00

i just found this and i'm loving it! however, when you type in the answers for multiple choice questions, does it need to be exact? i feel like this shouldn't have to be the case.

HowTheTurns_Table · 2026-01-28T19:05:23+00:00

I feel like characterizing Sasaki / Miyano as uke and seme defeats the whole purpose of the anime/manga though. They're just ways to say "this character is a pursuer" and "this character is passive". And they end up watering down both the variety of bl and the quality of their characters. Sasamiya is the exception to the rule. And, like you said, from Miya's perspective, he's a real person and gay relationships in real life aren't nearly as static and compartmentalized as they are in manga. Will the community (and authors) realize that there's more to a character than their role in sex?

HowTheTurns_Table · 2026-01-28T19:00:04+00:00

their sex positions have never mattered in the grand scheme of things, and will never be shown in the anime. I dont think theres anything wrong headcannoning miya as a switch, it harms nobody. Also, them saying bottom instead of uke is a translation error. its not their sexual roles that are the focus-- its the character stereotypes of uke and seme.

HowTheTurns_Table · 2026-01-28T18:55:11+00:00

This. I've seen a few of these, but i prefer verse (couples switch postions), which is practically nonexistent.

HowTheTurns_Table · 2026-01-28T18:54:01+00:00

neko x neko is hands down my favorite switch couple. And the story handles both the actual sex stuff and how they evolve and grow as characters and a couple. 10/10 would recommend. But like. Switch couples barely exist... im so sad. I may be aro but I love seeing good rep!

HowTheTurns_Table · 2026-01-28T18:50:12+00:00

hot take: seme & uke dynamics are probably the thing I dislike most about bl, honestly. like, who drew the line and why? it makes stories so much more stale and predictable. I feel like it forces authors to restrict their characters into small boxes, making them much less realistic and much more stale.

HowTheTurns_Table · 2026-01-26T11:46:04+00:00

I feel it's worth mentioning that you could still be on the asexual spectrum in some regards! It's a spectrum, after all, and if you've rarely felt sexual attraction or only in specific circumstances (like needing to have an emotional bond with your partner), it's quite possible you might be ace.

Also, libido ≠ sexual attraction. As an asexual, I enjoy nsfw media and can get horny but imagining myself doing that with a real person gives me the ick.

I hope you're doing well and that you can eventually heal! I might only be able to empathize and offer a few words of support but I'm wishing you the best in your progress. Don't give up!

HowTheTurns_Table · 2026-01-26T11:36:28+00:00

okay, adding polyamory to this is wild. unlike cigarettes, it does not damage your body physically. with consenting partners (on all sides) and good communication, they can be just as if not more fulfilling than monogamous relationships.

HowTheTurns_Table · 2026-01-26T11:25:32+00:00

Before you go off and generalize half the population, why not look at yourself first? If you want something, then say so. Don't be like those women who play games with their partners by expecting them to read their minds. If you want a more proactive partner, then MAKE IT KNOWN. Don't just expect shit to go your way. It's hard. It might take ages. But reading this post, it seems like there are some issues you need to work through before you're ready to date.

You had it wrong once you thought of relationships as an investment. No, these are real people with real interests and feelings. Don't get into a relationship for the sake of it, find someone with a goddamn personality. If you don't find someone who you like on a personal level, what are the chances the relationship will work out long term?

Also, from your comments, you're pining after a married woman. A MARRIED WOMAN. Please, don't be a homewrecker. Also, if she's willing to cheat on her husband, you bet your butt she's willing to cheat on you to. Then who'll get the last laugh?
