You can tell which graphic designers have worked corporate and who have been mostly independent based on how they save their files and deliver their deliverables. IE the people who don't package the referenced assets w/ deliverables or proprietary fonts that require Adobe Creative Cloud sub to open.

>Watching Miku beat the shit out of people in Dead as Disco "Every Miku is Canon"

Not sure if they will succeed but 300€ and we will see what happens.

Its kinda wild. I wonder what the Google Algorithm thinks it knows about me that makes it want to recommend <100 view stream VODs from <700 subscriber channels for a language I do not understand (it worked and I clicked it anyways)

Its wild to revisit old uatite covers and music you used to listen to 10 years ago and see the YouTube Bandsintown ticket sales prompt below the video. That uatite you listen to that did all those Vocaloid covers now does live shows and tours Japan.

YouTube knows I have had magnet on my mind and recommended me this instead. Honeslty, I love it lmao music.youtube.com/watch?v=IlRT...

Trying to explain to the concept of "negative space" to someone is really exhausting. Executives and managers shouldn't be directing design/UX but somehow they always involve themselves. Whatever, I give up, I don't want to be "not a team player" and need to pick my battles for when its egregious.

Happy Star Wars Day to those that celebrate~ May the 4th By With You!

I finally realized why kettle keep trying to gatekeep Vocaloid lyrics... Vocaloid is actually for children only. You are legally required to denounce Hatsune Miku once you turn 18! Good thing I still have my 31 year old chimera.

Why doesn't Kasane Teto the larger anime figure simply eat the others?

My Pile O Loot from BBTS arrived. My last 90 days of pre-order arrived with consolidated shipping $6 flat rate shipping. Why I prefer BBTS. Also that Teto is one big girl!

Latest version of the Savage Raven Jumpgate Pro to replace my original Skull N Co Jumpgate. Mostly the same form factor but with an extra USB-A port and support for Switch 2/Oled.

At least they aren't hiding the live band anymore #MikuExpo2026

Miku Expo LA!

ANTIFA are using Kasane Teto for political purposes. Inject Punk Rock Teto right in my veins. I need more vsynth mid-2000s punk rock covers or similar original songs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdIp...

When you want to attend MikuExpo in cosplay...

After much technical issues I got my tickets. Not the tickets I wanted but better then paying scalper prices. I had forgotten I had TV Expo tickets until I logged in to buy another concert for AX.

LMAO I almost forgot that I had tickets to MikuExpo tickets for this weekend if not for me logging into my AXS account to buy Hololive Concert Tickets for Anime Expo.

The Best Part about April 1st is all the banger Kasane Teto music we get today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFjv...

I donated once to Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund as a meme when Harambe died and I have been on their mailing list ever since.

Got my supports of Trackblazer in order. Got lucky and MLB NTR *only* took 200 pulls. Also put my good Scarlet up. 8* Speed 3* Skill plus some good white sparks. Friend ID: 180849211025 #UmamusumeTrainerCard

In a strange turn of events since January 2026 and today my default YT music recommendations have flipped. It went to almost exclusively Hatsune Miku music to a combination of just Kasane Teto + anime OPs but no Miku in sight, just Teto bangers.

Imagine tossing Panda's orange chicken in buffalo sauce, not even a good one, the one from a chain pizza place. That's Panda's Dynamite Sweet and Sour chicken. Gross.

I just deleted 13 hours of my own work by accidentally deleting the SSD with my /appdata/ folder when I thought I was just checking if Mirror or Raid Z1 was on but instead changing from one to the other and formatting it. Man I am really bad at this Docker / HomeLab thing.

The "Real OG" I mentioned in my post. That was me trying to make an pun and seeing if anyone would recognize you. I didn't know you were on Bsky!

Dropping some good ones I found into the thread! Featuring @agatechlo.bsky.social as LEON haha

Does anyone have any footage of that one-time EmpathP did a lesser-known synth / UTAU anime con concert? I had been to one of her Vocaloid ones, I never got to see the UTAU one beyond the demo she made of my UTAU before we got his stage debut. No longer have the demo. Sad I didn't get to see it.

I once had an UTAU panel concept called "We Made UTAU (And So Can You)" where we live created an UTAU on stage with a volunteer from the audience. Recorded just a few CV phonemes, OTOed them, then nade a demo with those limited phonemes and in just 50 minutes, live, demonstrate how UTAU works.

I mean what better way to answer "What is Vocaloid?" than live demoing the software in an interactive fashion? I seen many anime con Vocaloid panels before but I don't think anyone else literally created a song on stage. With the audience input the comedy wrote itself. Risky, but worth it.

Big Al singing Green Day was the panel intro/walk-in music of the panel. It played on loop during the panel setup between the tear-down of the old panel and set-up of ours while everyone was still getting seated. Every panel with AV needs some walk-in music. I learned that from wrestling!

More proof about how much of an anime boomer I am. Real fliers I made and posted around the school to promote my the anime club and "official" MySpace group.

I FOUND MY ORIGINAL VOCALOID 2 RECEIPTS!

Imagine having an interest for 25 years and still being stuck at the stick figure stage! I guess not everyone can be Pewdiepie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

HOLY MOLY! I found my first ever PAID website. A backup of my very first client. Back from when the internet was the wild west and just taking a course in your Highschool's Regional Occupational Program was enough to land a paid gig. It even uses iframes and everything! Made circa 2002!

Holy hell, I think I was insane. In 2024 I attended 7 anime conventions. I really burned myself out. Scaled back to 4 in 2025, planning only 3 in 2026 (already attended one in January)

#YTmusicJukebox Man this song is so peak. How am I just discovering it in 2026? It needs more listens and likes. Consider this my highest possible recommendation.

Now here is a real blast from the past. A treat for the real OGs. Tag if you recognize anyone. AnimeExpo 2014 Vocaloid Cosplay Gathering photos. I don't think I have ever shared it over the last decade. Found it in an old backup, didn't know these existed. photoshare.secusys.net/s/ax2014-voc...

That time in 2012 when Sweet Ann appeared in a fan Vocaloid Concert at Anime Los Angeles 2012. I think it was a Tempo-P and neutrinoP event and they played a KodaP song. Shabby 2012 era consumer rear projection tech. Attempts were made. We had fun.

I have been robbed. I had a BIG AL mug? What ever happened to the BIG AL mug?! WTF I don't ever remember using this!

There was a bit of data loss over the years (I lost an entire NAS) but the oldest surviving digital photos I have date to 2004 San Diego Comic-Con and were shot with a Sony Mavicka SD73. It wrote to a 3.5" floppy and was an entire 0.3 megapixels.

I have enough photos of Old Sweet Ann in my cloud drive that my Photo app tried to make an album of her. Also Kakashi cosplayers. It thinks all Kakashi are the same across various conventions.

#selfhost journey update. New photo server works. I wish I took more photos of my older dogs while they were around. The AI was not very good at differentiating between my German Shepherd and my two mutts that had similar colors. Got the white dogs, the pit bull, and brown lab just fine though.

Tagging my photos so I can train the AI to recognize my dogs and sort the rest of my photos... Found the time my dogs destroyed Hatsune Miku

Birthday at the office. I brought cupcakes I saw on Cupcake Wars once to celebrate. From a local Filipino bakery so of course 1/3rd are Ube flavored.

Ha ha ha. UtaForum crashed again. Its back up but the reason is so stupid. We implemented a firewall to help combat bots. The firewall worked too well. The excessive amount of logs, 100,000+ log files, GB of 200B files crashed the server.
