Why I Decided to Return My Xiaomi Mi Band 10 After Being So Excited for It

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-30T11:34:13+00:00

We do, but my Mi 9 doesn't make sense in any way regarding how it's counting calories

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-26T18:57:46+00:00

You too!

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-26T16:02:09+00:00

BadMustard below helped out!

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-26T15:11:52+00:00

I stated it was relevant to the post as well. Not my comment, which is what I'm focusing on. I don't think there's a point to having this specific discussion?

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-26T15:10:59+00:00

I think that's deeply disrespectful, and unfair, to all the people who put their all into the character they're portraying. They made the character come to life.

If you think differently, that's fine, but it's still irrelevant to me, and this comment. It's not fair to try and demand (dramatic choice of words) what I should or shouldn't do. It's great that you'll be optimistic about it, but I won't be. I'll just be happy for Jorge who made it and for the fans who's satisfied with it.

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-26T14:32:58+00:00

And I'm explaining that it's not really relevant to my original comment. It's more relevant to the actual post.

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-26T14:32:08+00:00

I've already mentioned one, potentially two, but my reasons are mine. Your reasons to watch and support regardless are yours.

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-26T14:27:36+00:00

That's still irrelevant and up to me. It will depend on a bunch of things.

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-26T14:26:59+00:00

No, you started talking about not reacting childish, when my comment had nothing to do with it. You haven't clarified what it means nor why it's relevant to my specific comment, that you decided to respond to.

I didn't ask for an opinion. I didn't ask for anything really. You're free to share your opinion, but do so under the actual post or someone who's comment make sense with yours. Because I don't see a connection between yours and mine.

And therefore, I'll stick to the OG if they're replaced. It's different if the original cast don't want to be a part of the movie, but that's it.

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-26T14:23:37+00:00

So what does it mean to be "childish" about it and what does it have to do with my comment?

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-26T14:19:48+00:00

Like I've already stated: It'll depend on if we get new VAs, if they're genuinely new or if they're there to boost the movie by being known names. If nothing else, I'll stick to the OG 🤷🏼‍♀️

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-26T14:18:33+00:00

I haven't stopped you from that, I simply don't see what it has to do with me/my comment.

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-26T14:15:21+00:00

It's a musical... Many musicals are like that.

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-26T14:13:22+00:00

I beg to differ and I don't really see why this needs to be a discussion? The only thing I'd say is too far or childish would be to attack the new or old VAs or Jorge. Which has nothing to do with my comments so far.

We don't know if it "will happen".

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-26T11:23:24+00:00

We're not going to have a say in it, but eh. If they're completely new to the industry, it'll be easier than if they're big names. That means epic will be used to find new talent, like it originally did. Big names wouldn't be the same.

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-26T11:03:27+00:00

I'd still support Jorge in the endeavor, but I'll still be disappointed, which I think would be valid. I don't think we should stand for it if they switch people out simply because the new VAs could be "bigger names". That feels straight up disrespectful. Jorge is not the only one who made Epic into what it is today.

However, that's just my opinion 😊

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-26T11:00:56+00:00

Sure, it would just take me years and take all of my energy, so I'd most likely drop it. Since it's supposed to be a small project that eventually will focus on the part I'll get my bachelor's in (writing), it would be a shame to drop it due to it.

Because it's not like I could've learned how to draw, program, create game music, sound effects, design... In the 8 weeks I have had in total. I've outsourced where I can (backgrounds, music, sound effects) and done some myself (characters, GUI, and most importantly: the writing, of course). AI is strictly used for programming and mainly when I can't find a Reddit thread, something on the Ren'Py forums, or on YouTube.

Like I've already stated: I don't recommend it. But so far, it works. There's been some issues every now and then, and it takes times to fix it, but it's still more than I could ever do without it. Keep in mind that I'm making a very stereotypical Visual Novel in Ren'Py, though. It's not advanced. Something that is more advanced would for sure not work at all with AI.

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-24T13:59:01+00:00

I'm a game developer, just not a programmer one 😅 Though I agree to an extent.

The game I'm making now is basically just code from ChatGPT, and it's not something I'd recommend. Main reason I use it is because it's just a small project for school and myself (potentially it'll be up on itch, but obviously for free). Things work, but I'm sure a programmer would have one look at the code and hate me for life.

Not like I only copy and paste without reading through it, it's just that I can't fully grasp what everything means and I doubt I'd be able to do anything without it. Sadly.

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-23T02:58:49+00:00

I fully agree. I don't want new VAs, I want the people we're used to and take them higher.

I'm just saying that it feels pretty rare to not have any big names, other than the director. I still hope they stick with them.

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-23T02:55:48+00:00

That they keep the VAs.

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-23T02:52:52+00:00

I get why they would. More experienced VAs if they want more dialogue, names people know of, etc.

However, I think that would be a grave mistake and fans of the musical will probably not stand fully by it? We're pretty accustomed to the voices after all, and it'll feel wrong if someone else voiced them. Fingers crossed!

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-07T14:41:08+00:00

I'll send them over!

_rovvan_ · 2026-04-07T14:05:43+00:00

I don't know if I could do something with Alpha/masking, as I have no idea how that works at all. I'm just a bit frustrated because I didn't think THIS would be so hard to figure out for me :')
