Hey, so quick question for those of you who have been using Lossless Scaling since day one: Can the software be used to scale up the quality of Gacha Life 2? I've noticed that my game is a bit pixelated compared to the version you would download manually. (For context, I've downloaded Gacha Life 2 on Google Play Games.) Anyways, if any of you guys have Gacha Life 2 and have used Lossless Scaling on it, please share a video of how to do that! I'll be waiting until someone tells me how to do that.

For context, I'm following the steps in my 'Plan-Out' document that I've planned out beforehand. And I'm at the step where I create the service sheet to share the rules and requirements that I've made in a document for this purpose. So I can start tweening and editing commissions to earn money while I wait for ChibiMation to be released!

The only issue? I don't know how to fill in the space for the title sheet! Along with making it unique in my own style! Which is why I've decided to come to this subreddit. To see if anyone has any ideas for this art block I'm struggling with. Any ideas for this can help! Just as long as it's about the space I wanna fill in!

About The Virtual Singer Unit...

Also, regarding the Virtual Singers unit... I WAS going to add 'Young Girl A' to my rankings. I believe the Virtual Singers unit should be counted as well. But when I realized that it's currently competing with 'Mesmerizer' to be the most popular song on YouTube, I realized that I should wait until the gap expands to 100,000,000 views. (Or at least big enough that they stop switching the #1 spot as the most popular song on YouTube.)

But that's not the only reason why I've decided not to add the unit's most popular song on YouTube. You see, a user on Reddit named Banette64 (No-Grocery-5513) told me this about why it'll be difficult to find the unit's most popular song on YouTube with this explanation:

"They don’t really have Virtual Singer covers with music videos. (There are alt vocals for commission songs though.) The Virtual Singer songs in-game are just the originals, and you wouldn’t see that on the Project Sekai channel. But if you want to know… The most popular Virtual Singer song in-game is 'Young Girl A' with 206M views. ('Mesmerizer' also has 206M views, but the view count is slightly lower.)"

So until then, I'll be waiting for the battle between the most popular songs on YouTube to be over. So I can delete this post and include the Virtual Singer unit! If you guys have any information on this topic, then feel free to comment to let me know! It'll help me out a lot with the thing I'm working on related to this!

Hey, so out of general curiosity, may I ask if, for those of you who have a laptop, phone, tablet, and iPad, you have this weird thing where custom-made subtitles are applied differently on different devices? I just wanna know, since I just wanna make sure that this isn't a bug I've having. And if not, may I ask if it's possible to have custom captions be applied to be the same style on different devices? If so, then please, link me some tutorials that explain how to do that! I would like to know how to do that in the future. For when I start making content on my channel.

As the title suggests, I was wondering if any of you guys with free time at the moment could add the members to a group I created called The Musical Notes Unit! You see, they're basically the Triple Baka trio. But with 2 members to represent more branched-out software! If you wanna know more about what I'm talking about, I recommend going through my Vocaloid posts to understand why I wanted to create them.

Here are the rules and requirements for having the character designs approved by me. Along with the references to the character's latest designs! Oh, and don't worry about me not crediting you! I'll make sure to credit you when I make a post about the characters in the Vocaloid subreddit! Now, here are the codes for each specific character. Since I wanna already keep and set the information that I typed in.

Designing Rules

1. Don't design and colour it to the point where it's unrecognizable. I just want it to look recognizable as what the characters' recent designs are. I don't need it to be that complex or detailed.
2. Don't make all the colours the same to have it blend. I just want the outline to be a darker version of the colour. And promise me that you guys won't use the darkest of black, unless it's the eyelashes or pupils.
3. Don't use colours that are too far off from the original colour scheme of the characters. Again, I want them to be recognizable for me to use them.
4. Don't make or put the eyes high up on the head and tiny. I'm personally not a big fan of eyes being tiny or being high up on the head. Just keep the eye placement the same or close to what the images look like.
5. Keep the pose and head size the same. I'm okay with you guys changing the design and colour scheme and all, but I don't want you to change the pose and head size. That's all I ask.
6. Please use the category for the right thing. I don't want you to use them for other things. That personally bothers me. So just try to simplify the designs instead.
7. The proportions shouldn't look weird or out of place when changing the body type. It should have realistic proportions and proper autonomy.
8. Please don't thicken the eyelashes when designing the characters. I personally don't like that either. Just keep the eyelashes normal. Otherwise, I'll ignore your comment.
9. When changing the proportions and autonomy of the body type, make sure that the body parts are always connected. Or I'll have to fix that myself. So make sure to do that when changing the body type.

IMPORTANT!

• When typing in the description of the character profiles, type it as the example I've provided in the post.
• Please don't get mad at me if I don't choose your designs. It's not the end of the world if I don't accept it.
• You must design and colour all of the members of my group. Since I want all the styles to be the same thing.
• Your handle must be from Reddit. Since that's where I've found someone to make the designs for me.

Okay, so out of general curiosity, may I ask what everyone's take is on songs that match each League Of Villains member? I'm generally curious about which songs you guys think match each villain individually! Here's a list of all of the members. Remember, this is just for fun. So don't take it too seriously! Oh, and just to let you guys know, whoever has the most upvotes of the song that they suggested for a villain, I'll assign the song to the villain! So have fun suggesting some songs to me!

Okay, so it looks like I should've added that when you're suggesting songs for me to assign to each member of the League Of Villains, make sure they aren't goofy. I want songs that generally match their ENTIRE character. From personality to quirk. Here, I'll give you guys the video link of what I mean by that. Hope that makes you guys understand where I'm coming from!

Okay, so out of pure boredom, I've decided to search the Dinotrux subreddit to see if anyone here has made a post about sharing or asking for hot takes. But surprisingly, nobody has done it... Yet. Which is where I come in. I want you guys to give me the most jaw-dropping, heart-stopping, mind-bending paraphernalia hot takes on Dinotrux that you've had brewing in your brain. (And yes, I did throw a reference there. Feel free to say where it's from for me!) And to make this more fun, I'll add your hot take to my post to share what I think about it! Now, let the chaos commence...

Okay, so there seems to be a misunderstanding of what I mean by 'Hot Takes'. Here's the definition of what it means (according to Vivaldi). "A hot take is an unpopular opinion on anything that isn't a common opinion among other people." Is what I meant by the title. Here, I'll share a hot take of mine with you guys to understand what I'm talking about. Oh, and when sharing your hot take, please provide me with examples and explanations as to why you think like that.

Example Format

Hot Take #1: Ace is low-key a bad friend to Click-Clack. The reason why I say this is that she's usually the one who scares Click-Clack just for fun. I know this is meant to lean into him being a scaredy-cat, but I don't like that his character seems to revolve around it. (More on that later). And it bothers me how Ace seemingly didn't trust Click-Clack when it clearly shows that he wanted to prove himself worthy in the episode Cliffhanger. I don't know, I just wish they had explored more of their relationship together.

Hot Take #2: Click-Clack's character is the character that's often scared of everything, which just pisses me off. Because he's more than just that. In the final episode of the first season, it showed that he was a storyteller. And is a good fighter like Revvit. But nope! We have to make him a scaredy-cat for shits and giggles. However, I will acknowledge how they seemed to have changed his character from being only a scaredy-cat halfway through the series.

Hot Takes

1. [TukTheProtogen] I feel like Ton-Ton is very underutilized outside of his own stories. And Ty is too soft. I feel like in the later seasons, Ton-Ton is kind of just...there, honestly. Specifically, season 3. And Ty still tries to convince everyone to join him, and most of the time, it just makes more villains for him to deal with. Splitter, Pounder, Blayde...
2. [OneFineRug] Having the only raptors be portrayed as minor antagonists who were an obstacle at most was a bad move. Imagine if there was another type of raptor-based trux that could use their launchable claws as guiding wires for Skya, or serving as a grappling hook to quickly scale walls or tall buildings.
3. [TRiki-D] The writing isn’t that great. The characters try way too often to be funny, and it makes it difficult to take the show seriously. I know it’s a show for a younger audience, but I always wonder how much better the show would’ve been if it had just taken itself more seriously.
4. [RecommendationKey305] I did not care for the raptors and pterosaurs being so animalistic compared to all the other characters. Raptors (Utah, Veloci, etc.) Are my favourite dinosaurs, and I wish they got to be more intelligent in the series, but we got the scraptors instead. The pterosaurs get a bit of leniency due to the multiple species shown off throughout the series, but the scrapadactyls are my main point of pain. I just wish they got to be on par with the rest of the characters instead of being these mindless obstacles that can only destroy, when raptors are theorized to have been some of the most intelligent dinosaurs. I get it's a kids' show and needs "goons" as obstacles for the cast, but I still feel cheated out of more characters
5. [Solid-Can-8872] I personally don't like D-Stroy's character at all, and prefer other villains like the Goldtrux over him, but I think his design is by far one of the best in the series. While some aspects like his design, voice, etc. Are pretty neat, i still don't really like the character himself at all because he kinda feels like the typical OC who's stronger and cooler than everyone else for no actual reason for me, it surprisingly worked because the fandom loved him, I'm glad D-structs was the one who betrayed him first instead of the other way around because let's be honest, it would've been way too predictable, not like we know much about their past asides from the fact that they split up years ago in an accident anyway. As for the Goldtrux part, I feel like he outstood a lot from other characters due to his unique design and backstory, showing how even the most normal individual could get consumed and trapped by their own greed, as well, it could've been useful for Garby in terms of writing if we saw more about him and their relationship, specially considering Garby is one of the most overhated characters in the series. In short, I find a story that shows how greed and obsession could slowly but surely consume you and distance you from the ones that matter to you, due to how terrifyingly realistic it is, rather than a character who's basically carried by hype and aura-farming moments in the majority.
6. [ThatGachaKid1] Different dinotruxs should've had different diets; it would make for more intriguing plots and problems. I mean, the Stegosaurus one eats rocks, and that was cool; having them all eat the same LIMITED resource is boring.
7. [OscarReviews] As someone who rewatches Dinotrux several times, and loves it. My personal hot take is that as a villain AND a character, D-Structs is boring. The only instances of D-Structs not just a growling stick in the mud, yelling at the team to get off his lawn- I mean crater- is in the season 2 episode 'Lightning'. For a split second, he shows genuine concern and worry for Scrap-it's safety. But aside from that, and a handful of funny moments, D-Structs is just dull and cranky.
8. [Cammy_Cam] D-structs is valid. It's been established that it's one T-Trux, one territory. And Ty just comes along and goes, "Just share, bro." Like, I'd be pretty pissed off if someone invited themselves into my house without permission and told me to share it when I tell them to leave.

My Responses

1. Honestly, I have to disagree with your first hot take. Because, to be fair, Ton-Ton is a part of a large cast of characters that happen to be vital to the storyline. So, of course, he's not going to be the focus of every single episode! And I would argue that he's a pretty important character! From being a part of the group called The Dumps, helping Ty save Dozer, to bonding with Skrap-It, etc. But I kind of agree with your take on Ty being too soft. Because, yes, he would get serious at times when he needed to. But at the same time, he did kinda let the problem run for too long... Like, he could've just gathered the other Dinotrux to help stop the Dreadtrux. Now that I think about it.
2. Okay, so I think you've forgotten that some episodes from Dinotrux DID have episodes where the Scraptors were the main antagonists. Like Desert Scraptors, Junktools, Scraptors, etc... But I see your complaints about it not being explored more. I would argue that it's a common issue in the writing within the show. (But that's a topic for another day.) Honestly, it actually would've been interesting to see another Dinotrux besides the Pteracopters being related to Scrapadactyls. As it would've explored how they grew a brain, while their counterparts didn't.
3. I agree, to an extent. But also disagree with your take. I mean, yeah. There were some missed opportunities that I wished we had gotten to explore more. Like Dozer and Blayde's backstory, Ty's trauma with losing his home, Skrap-It and D-Structs' thoughts about each other... Like, they should've done more than just being story-driven! But that doesn't undermine or ruin the characters' arcs. For example, the storyline of the last season of Dinotrux Supercharged was probably the best season to wrap up a series! But I understand your frustration with the series not taking itself seriously.
4. Yeah, not gonna lie, I actually agree with this take. As useful as the scraptors and scrapadactyls were in creating conflict within the story, I do wish there were more episodes centred around them. And possibly exploring their behaviour. Along with how they felt in their day-to-day life. So yeah, that was definitely a wasted opportunity for the writers to do that.
5. Okay, so I know that this is going to sound off-topic here, but your comment reminds me of this Total Drama video from Switch1e called 'Why Alejandro Rocks and Mal Sucks - Power Creep in Total Drama'. Though I have to disagree with the first part of your take. D-Stroy was shown to be a good villain BECAUSE it was shown with his actions. I mean, the whole arc of the last season of Dinotrux happened BECAUSE of what he did! He used something that would overpower Ty and his gang. And he further solidified it by using their new power to their advantage. (By adding the Dreadtrux's favourite ore into their builds.) But I do agree with the part about it being good writing that D-Structs was the one to betray D-Stroy. Since it would be too predictable if it happened the other way around. And it would make D-Stroy seem like he was being favoured more. BUT, I will agree with Goldtrux being a breath of fresh air in the villains we've been introduced to throughout the series. In fact, I would argue that he's what Blayde SHOULD'VE been! Because they actually delve into his story, and make it make actual sense. So I definitely agree with you on that.
6. Honestly, I kinda agree with this one. Since it would've possibly made the world-building of the show a bit more interesting. It never delves fully into that aspect of the show. So I can understand your frustration with it not being more diverse.
7. Okay, I honestly understand where you're coming from with your hot take. When it comes to shows that mainly use the same villains for their whole shows, it can get tiresome and boring. But I actually disagree with your take. Because, yes, while he does seem shallow, he actually has moments that define him! Like where he acts stupid in the episode 'Fake Ravine'. Or accepts Skrap-It back in the episode 'Tail'! What I'm trying to say is that maybe try looking more into episodes that involve D-Structs. And see if you then find him interesting.
8. Not gonna lie, I kinda agree with this to an extent. Ty kinda kept pushing the 'Sharing Is Caring' shit a bit much at times. Especially in season 5 in Dinotrux, where there were too many truxs in the creator to the point where it was overwhelming. But I also disagree with this take. Since instead of D-Structs talking about how he feels about this whole ordeal, he beats up Ty and terrorizes him and the community for the entire series. And while there were a lot of truxs in the creator, they can't just tell them to move somewhere else. I mean, those truxs came from a volcanic eruption! And things were going well for them until D-Structs decided to use it to his advantage. So, I agree and disagree with this take.

Okay, so I don't know about you guys, but Mizuki from 'One Punch Man' looks a lot like how I envision Skya to look as a human in my Main AU. Like, she actually gives me an idea of what Skya should look like in my AU! For I've always thought Skya would be jacked and tall for her age, based on both the environment she grew up in and what her Dinotrux form is. But what do you guys think about this comparison?
