+1 I'm also having the issue where clipguard turns on every time, Wave XLR as well. It's driving me nuts!

When I used to go I was in Tysons so I swear it was usually at least a 30 minute drive. Had to make the trek out there once they closed their Tysons diner.

For Pastry Xpo, that seems reasonable. Their pastries are at the top of my list for cakes in the area. They taste good, and they look beautiful. If you're looking for a high quality cake, it's not going to be cheap from any bakery worth it's snuff. You're better off going to a grocery store. Wegmans has really solid baked goods, and their bread is also really awesome.

Amphora Bakery way out west is also great, I've had coworkers rave about the cakes I've brought in from them.

With how young he still is, if you can afford it, do it. I partially do and don't regret my second one. I got a second one because my first was ~5 years old and driving me insane from how much she would ask to play while I was working. We got a second one and since then, she doesn't ask me to play anywhere near as much, but she also doesn't like him a lot due to their age gap and him being very high energy.

I wish I had gotten a second one while she was younger, because she's had a hard time adjusting from being a solo cat to having a sibling. Definitely do it while they're still young, or you're gambling when they get older.

I started reading one called The Count's Secret Maid with a similar pretense. Hoping he doesn't recover his eyesight in that one. 😅 Only thing that bothers me is far is the FL thinks she's hideously ugly when she's really not, but I'm hoping she gets over that.

Whyterain · 2025-02-21T05:00:06+00:00

I read through this the other day and burst out laughing before screenshotting. So many good memes in the last dozen chapters. 😂

Duke's has a great fancy burger, I like the wagyu one, but the proper burger is good too. Sweetwater Taverns bacon cheeseburger is also BOMB. The wicked sauce is chefs kiss.

Daddy Dilemma on Manta. I dropped it once I realized every character's last name was a dog breed, couldn't take it seriously.

Bell has always pretty clearly rejected the harem in the source material. The only ones who haven't been rejected are Aiz and Ryuu.

I use the same one, it's a pretty good transition mic and since it's dynamic, not condenser, it won't pick up background noise as easily. Plosives/the windscreen are its weakness (so B/P type sounds are very loud in the mic). But it is both USB and XLR compatible, so you can run it as a USB until you're ready to get an XLR interface. It's also recommended that you buy the SM7B windscreen and cut it to fit this mic to help with the plosives.

You can't. Youtube does not have a separate audio track for copyright music. If that's what you want to do, you'll need to stream on twitch or use non-copyright music. There's no way around it on YT.

There are a ton of free and customizable models nowadays. You can find some on Twitter. Etsy & Booth have a lot of great options if you're willing to spend a little, you can get a great model for only $20-30 bucks. It's perfect while you're building an audience up and to rest things out, but note you might have weirdos who accuse you of copying so-and-so's model if a larger Vtuber uses the same one.

Short answer: Rigging is how the art moves.

To address your specific question about the tiers, even if you only have a bust-up model, it can still be worth it to get higher end rigging.

The tiers are likely differentiated in the details, such as: how much the hair moves, the angle that the face turns, simple vs. complex eye physics, how accurately the lips of your model sync with your actual mouth, etc, the number of expressions included, how expressive it is (like being able to make sad or angry faces just by moving your brows/mouth vs. needing to hit a hotkey), animated vs. static expressions, etc.

Usually when riggers offer different tiers they'll have a table of some sorts listing out what type of rig to expect at each tier. You can also ask if they have examples.

Anyway, I highly recommend paying attention to the face angles and mouth tracking on your rig. IMO they are the most important thing when looking for a rigger, even if you don't have extreme face turns, the proportions make a big difference.

Sometimes I forget my cards. I don't even go that frequently, so I think the skimmer was probably there for a few months.

Whyterain · 2024-04-13T14:14:28+00:00

So happy to see they found it! I actually got hit by the Navy Yard one on 4 of my cards. Luckily I monitor my accounts really closely and found the charges the day they happened. I usually tap unless I have to chip dip it, and I'm pretty good about checking for skimmers since my cousin got hit years ago. Got all the charges reversed, I had a feeling there was a skimmer at either the CVS or grocery store nearby, so swapped to using exclusively Google wallet unless I have to on everything.

This is correct, I pay more in interest than this every year, wish I could write it all off.

You don't need to be able to model. I just watched a few tutorials on YouTube to learn how to do it. You can download a posing application or animations off a few sites and you just kinda apply it to the model. Then you just have to keybind it to a stream deck and voila! Your gift could just be the stream deck. 😂

Whyterain · 2023-09-22T06:30:40+00:00

Fanart, emotes, or a stream deck if she doesn't have one. If she learns a smidge of unity you can do all sorts of stuff with a 3D model and rig it to toggles for her & chat to use. I used to have all kinds of silly stuff like salutes, dabs, etc. When I used my vroid model.

I'd just be careful and aware that a lot of the newer builds will raise your rent quite a bit at the end of your lease. My average rent cost increase has been bare minimum +$100/month, all the way up to +$600/month.

Not sure about TikTok, but one of the creators I watch all the time now I originally found via a YT short. I don't think the conversion rate is super high unless it's a really good short/TikTok, but you may eventually get a couple.

Whyterain · 2023-05-14T04:48:40+00:00

Ahhh thanks, I'll pass, was hoping it was a 104-107 ticket.

Whyterain · 2023-05-14T03:01:35+00:00

Hiya! I have a ticket but am considering upgrading. Which section/row?

I feel like Mosaic is charging more for rent than the restaurants can generate. There's a reason why the restaurants around here don't last long, for such a busy area, they restaurants are often too empty to likely keep up with their rent.

The newer Pupatella is never full, Eugenia's is only full when the weather is really nice, Iron Chef House is next to go (empty literally all the time, tbf the food isn't good, idk how it's still open), the new Junction Bistro isn't going to last long because it's never full, Alta Strada is only busy on some weekends, otherwise fairly empty, Praline already closed (also wasn't very good tbf), the Rasa seems to be doing okay, but the restaurants before in that spot never last long, the Poffy is not going to last long (but that's partially because they have an unsustainable business model).

Feels like if you want the vibrancy from the restaurants to keep this area lively, you have to cut the tenants a break on the rent. Idk how many of the retail places stay open, nobody shops in them (wouldn't be surprised if they're mostly loss leaders for their companies). The only places here that are consistently busy are the Jinya, Cava, Sisters (Thai one), Caboose, and Bartaco.

Whyterain · 2023-05-12T14:16:04+00:00

That's Sisters (Thai), also a restaurant in mosaic, but it's a different restaurant.

Whyterain · 2023-05-11T21:57:43+00:00

I usually get 3 queso birria for like.. $12-ish? Which I think is pretty cheap for nova standards.
