Added 2021-11-17 11:51:37 +0000 UTC

I've been going through some requests (of which one was private), as well as some v1 re-training to v2 models. The voices:

- Fallout 76: GenericSettler03
- (v2 re-trained) Skyrim: FemaleCommander
- (v2 re-trained) Skyrim: MaleNord
- (v2 re-trained) Fallout 4: MrGutsy
- (v2 re-trained) Cyberpunk: Johnny
- Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order: Saw Gerrera

This brings support to a new game: Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order!

I'm currently working through the voices from the poll, as well as some private requests.
These will make their way to the nexus shortly, but probably not today.

Also this week, I got a couple of hardware upgrades!

I had to grab more storage, so I got a 16TB hard drive. That may sound like a lot, but the previous 8TB drive I previously purchased for this project has been full for some time now, and my smaller other drives have been getting there too, while taking the excess load. This should buy me some time I hope 😁

Another purchase was a new pair of headphones. I got a really good pair, and it really does make a difference when examining generated audio for quality/artefacts. I've been making several tweaks to the model training script, not just for speed, but also quality, so this should definitely help me with decision making.

Thank you so much for your support, as it directly enabled these upgrades. I'm drafting up some plans for other future upgrades which should help the training speed more directly too.
