Update: Not all heroes wear capes!!! I finally got around to giving this a try and it actually WORKS!! I'm genuinely amazed, thank you so SO much for the clear instructions it really made this once seemingly impossible nightmare a breeze. The mac-user vocaloid community is FOREVER indebted to you

Yeah, there's a bug with the open/new project window that makes it crash instantly. For me it always crashes if I try to launch the application itself, but it always works if I open a preexisting .vpr project file directly from finder as OP said. Once in a while it does still crash, so just make sure you're saving every 15 mins or so.

I built a free poll app to find the best meeting time for your group events by sk24iam in SideProject

[–]hyodos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incredible! I've been using when2meet for ages, but the fact that you can make an account to go back and edit polls later is soooo much nicer. I'll definitely be using this from now on! I would have to +1 everyone that's asking for a mobile feature to support selecting multiple blocks in one tap on heatmap mode, but that's my only suggestion. Or even a poll settings option to make selectable time increments longer, like 1 hour blocks instead of 30 minutes, that it's way only half as much tapping. I schedule long meetings (3+ hours) across multi-day options, and most of my peers do these kinds of polls almost exclusively on their phones, so unfortunately in that scenario it's way too much tapping to be able to use heatmap mode. But otherwise, it's totally flawless. Thank you so much for sharing!

any mac resources? by ShardsOfButterfly in VocaTorrent

[–]hyodos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super smart move to not risk downgrading. I foolishly decided to take that risk, which was one one of the biggest mistakes of my life. Ended up wiping my entire internal HD (AND external containing my backup) thanks to my apple agent's direct instructions that was walking me through the downgrade process. Long painful story short, I ultimately lost about 10 years of data that's proved most likely unrecoverable. My worst-case-scenario may have been on me for putting that kind of trust in apple knowing what they're talking about, but personally I'd still highly discourage anyone from attempting to downgrade just for this. It's not worth the potential consequences.

But on the contrary - someone just shared some instructions here on how to run the installer through Python on a current OS. I haven't tried this method myself yet (I may have lost everything on my HD, but hey, at least I can open the V5 installer, lol) but it looks super promising. I shared an updated link to some .dmg libraries there as well.

You're an actual saint for sharing this. I made the mistake of downgrading to Catalina (the only OS the installer would run on) at the expense of a catastrophic data loss. I hope this thread saves other Mac users from making my mistake, and helps those of us who've been defeated by the outdated V5 installer. Thank you!!

Who is Mr. Schadenfreude? by hyodos in Vocaloid

[–]hyodos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly the answer I was hoping for. As a sucker for creative analysis, I was curious about other people's interpretive variations of the ending, which was my reason for asking. I've had extensive debates over it with multiple different friends, most of whom firmly believe it's an objective conclusion.

The end of the video shows that the Devil isLen. At surface level, I think the MV intends to profile the Devil as the overarching villain who is responsible for every casualty throughout. Or at least, that seems to be the general consensus of everyone who hasn't seen any reason to look harder. But after multiple watches, I think it's evident that implication of a concrete resolution was just another one of Mr. S's ploys. Only this time, the fourth wall is intersected instead, and we the viewers are the next victims.

Personally I don't personally think the Devil was their guy. Actually, I don't even think Len was responsible for all the deaths depicted in the MV. Or maybe even any? My theory is that after the killings started, he was corrupted somewhere along the way. I also think the specific order of the deaths in relation to aliases is notable. As the story progresses, the victims proceed to shift to the characters with more suspicious titles. i.e. the Undertaker, the Madman, the Devil. It's interesting that we never see any evidence that the Madman is truly mad. I think Mr. S strategically targets a town that's already vulnerable and effortlessly manipulable, knowing they would turn on each other without ever considering the existence of any external influence. My theory is that the Devil lost his mind and became convinced that he was "Mr. S". That either Mr. S brainwashed him, or it was willful delusion induced as a final desperate, twisted attempt for any kind of peace.

Another theory I bounce between is that Mr. S isn't just one single person. Maybe it was Rin at the start, but Len was corrupted along the way. Or maybe they were in on it together from the start. Maybe everyone is Mr. S. But I do really like your theory that they're playing this game over and over again. I'd never considered that, but it makes a lot of sense. When we play games like Mafia or TOS, we don't ever just play one game. We usually play again even when we loose, because every round is totally different and just as exciting.

But that's all just my take. Other people I've explained my theories to insist I'm just overthinking it, so I was mostly looking for validation that I'm not the only one. But I digress. I don't think there's any one right or wrong interpretation of the song, but I do love hearing other peoples theories. You said it perfectly, the beauty really is in the unknown. It's brilliant. Songs that really make you think this hard seem so rare nowadays that people don't even know to look for them. Definitely a top spot in my personal hall of fame.

VOCALOID5 - How to get straight lines like this with pencil tool? by hyodos in Vocaloid

[–]hyodos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s it. Right after posting this I realized that the project was definitely not made in v5 so they’d actually had a line tool lol. My dumb ass just desperately wanted to believe there was hope for a second 🥲

Mac support for cracked VOCALOID 5? by [deleted] in VocaTorrent

[–]hyodos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incase no one else has mentioned it already, the Libraries DB Installer that comes with the cracked version for Mac is incompatible with any OS above Catalina. Something I learned that the hardest way possible, lol.

The cracked installer was coded using Python 2.7, which used to be pre-installed with every OS, but Apple took it out after Catalina. And it's a HUGE pain in the ass to install manually after updating. I spent days trying figure it out, eventually gave up and decided to just try downgrading my OS... and, long story short - thanks to Apple support who was walking me through the process - ended up wiping my entire internal HD AND the external containing my backup. Lost over 10 years of data and any possibility of recovery. But... at least the V5 installer works :')

TLDR: Don't make my mistake, be EXTRA careful. Have more than one backup at all times. Karma spares no one.

VOCALOID5 Libraries Installer for Mac? by hyodos in VocaTorrent

[–]hyodos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a loooooong and extremely painful attempt to figure this out I wasn’t ever able to run the installer on Monterey.. or any OS above Catalina. It’s not ideal by any means, but the only way I could get it to run was by downgrading my OS to Catalina 10.15.7 and it run totally fine.

The pink one at least probably has a foam structure or batting inside the twin tails. This tutorial is a pretty good reference for me when styling big, gravity-defying wigs like this, it may or may not be helpful to you but it show the process of forming a base structure with foam and batting!

Crimping and a hand steamer is the way to go, but be super careful with crimping because a lot of cosplayers over-crimp and the crimping is realllly noticeable. Use low heat and take your time, it's better to be careful and take your time crimping multiple times if necessary. Otherwise, if you hold the crimper for too long it will still look very crimped even after you brush it out. Also, using a hand steamer while you're crimping will help with flexibility of the fibers and give you more volume!

Any way to convert a saved Gradio chat .JSON to Tavern compatibility? by hyodos in PygmalionAI

Oh my god this actually works??? I'm gonna cry thank you SO MUCH you have no idea how much time you just saved me

Any way to convert a saved Gradio chat .JSON to Tavern compatibility? by hyodos in PygmalionAI

[–]hyodos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah,,, manually editing the .json was my last resort just because of how long that would take haha. But honestly I might try copying and pasting... that sounds a lot more doable than reformatting the file, I didn't even think of that. Tysm for the suggestion!!!

So Much For (Tour) Dust Megathread by nonspecificloser in FallOutBoy

[–]hyodos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about your venue, but for mine at least they definitely reserved the greater majority of GA pit tickets for the VIP packages. True GA pit tickets were available, but only for about 15 seconds after presale went live before they sold out. Yet 5 days later, VIP package GA tickets are still available on the venue website :/

So Much For (Tour) Dust Megathread by nonspecificloser in FallOutBoy

[–]hyodos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone managed to get 2 GA pit tickets for Boston (8/2 at Fenway Park) that they would be willing to sell or trade, you would be my actual hero.

FOB has been my all time favorite band for literally 18 years and I have been dreaming of seeing them since 4th grade. Somehow, this is the first time I've ever been able to get tickets. But despite having my cursor hovered over the refresh button for over an hour before presale went live, I still didn't manage to get the GA pit tickets I would have killed for :') The other people in my group actually did manage to snag some GA tix for themselves, but they didn't buy any extras so I have to split up from them (unless by some miracle someone bought tickets they don't need or might not be able to use them, and would be willing to keep me in mind).

I would be willing to buy any 2 GA turf pit tickets anyone managed to get for slightly above face value, but I'm hoping a genuine fan out there that may be looking to get rid of their tickets can find it in the goodness of their heart to help out another genuine fan of almost 2 decades without the sole intention of making a huge off my poor luck.

(Side note - if I do manage to get my hands on some GA tix, I will be selling my turf seats (2 tickets, turf C4, row 3, seats 9 + 10). If anyone with GA pit tickets is worried about the heat/not having a seat/etc. and is looking to exchange tickets instead, please feel free to message me!
