Iโ€™m obsessed with the implication that itโ€™s not necessarily part of the language to talk like that, but that itโ€™s like an anomalous effect a la the SCP Foundation.

english 2: its basically the same, but all phonetic rules actually make sense, but as an effect everyone who speaks english 2 talks like that one guy who made a surgery on a jelly rat

So, I just learned that Esperanto ( yes, the language ) has a SEQUEL??? Literally called โ€œEsperanto 2โ€????

Like, I guess technically all modern language is derived from previous ones, but like, could you imagine being like โ€œGuys English was so good Iโ€™m making English 2: Electric Boogalooโ€

If I ever make a video game with a custom avatar, Iโ€™m gonna make the gender options as follows

Iโ€™ve said it before, but itโ€™s been a while, so Iโ€™ll say it again for those who arenโ€™t in the loop

I donโ€™t distribute my .ust/.svp/.vsq/sequence files publicly. I donโ€™t like the idea of somebody using my tuning and basically claiming it as their own, and I donโ€™t typically make โ€œuneditedโ€ ones either

I got a notification that someone sent me a new chat request on here, but when I clicked on it, bsky just hung for a while and never loaded it, and now itโ€™s not showing up. So if someone tried to DM me, hey, I think bsky possibly ate your message, feel free to try again or contact me elsewhere

Example of what I mean. I think a lot of SynthV English vocals have this issue too, but SOLARIA's the only one who I've encountered it with multiple times when using her regularly.

30.01.2026 00:59 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

-point of adding [tr] and [dr] is to address this particular issue, why aren't [tw] and [dw] also their own phonemes? At the very least, [tw] occurs often enough in English to facilitate it as its own sound ( "twice", "twist", "twilight" ). [dw] is a bit rare, but does still occur.

30.01.2026 00:52 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

-plosives of [t w] and [d w] should be released or not. For example, if you have SynthV, try making SOLARIA say "saw twilight". Maybe you'll get a good seed and she'll pronounce it correctly, but, more times than not, she'll say it as "sought-why-light" with "t" as a glottal stop. So like... if the-

30.01.2026 00:52 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

-( i.e. "see trite", vs "seat right" ). Which would make sense, since AI synths don't always have enough context to tell them apart.

That all makes sense... until you consider the same thing happens with [t w] and [d w]. Not only that, but AI synths do actually have issues distinguishing when the-

30.01.2026 00:52 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

-and the one I suspect is the main reason, which is to distinguish [tr]/[dr] at the beginning of a word, and [t r]/[d r] in word-to-word transitions. Which, on paper, that makes sense; a lot of times when you have the latter case, frequently the plosive is unreleased;

30.01.2026 00:52 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

-similar sounds. Which... kinda makes sense, until you consider that an AI synth can automatically change them contextually, and even in concat synths, you can still just pronounce the [t r] and [d r] diphones that way outright, and it'd still usually work.

Which brings me to the second reason,-

30.01.2026 00:52 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Potentially mild hot take, but in English AI synths, I don't really understand the point of having [tr] and [dr] as their own sounds.

Like - okay, there are two reasons I could think of to have them; the first being because, among us native speakers, they can sometimes become [ch r] and [jh r] or-

Yโ€™know, I sometimes think about the whole โ€œnude codeโ€ hoax. Like, I know it was mostly a bunch of horny teens, but I have to wonder what they thought they were getting out of it. Like, would a pair of nipples textured over a triangle have really done it for them? Is that what they were wanting?

The blue french breadโ€ฆ what did AHS mean by that? /j /lh

28.01.2026 21:07 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I feel like AHS is trying to market Teto and Frimomen as counterparts to one another??? ( not unlike say, Kiyoteru and Yuki )

Which, Iโ€™m not opposed to, theyโ€™re just a bit of an odd pair, but that might be the point, given that theyโ€™re both joke characters

With otoโ€™s, I can sometimes activate my โ€˜tism powers and finish an absurd amount a day, which is good for when I need to rush ( or REALLY want to hear a finished voicebank quicker ).

I feel like when I do the same thing with labels, the most I can get done is maybe likeโ€ฆ 5-6ish minutes a day?

I forgot how tiring labelling is and rn itโ€™s kicking my asssssssss

I donโ€™t even know why really. Itโ€™s
not like itโ€™s actually that hard, at least compared to otoโ€™ing. Labelling in general though feels like it takes so much longer though.
