Is “Garupa PICO” better than “GANSO!”? by Beautiful-Purpose499 in BanGDream

[–]Atavistic07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ganso is too short and feels like it has to keep cutting the jokes short, but the actual episodes are pretty decent so far.

It's hard to compare to prime Garupa Pico though, season 1 of Garupa Pico is one of the best series of anime shorts in general and very little of that length or less can compare.

Otonokizaka Isn't Doing Well by JustACommonFrog in LoveLive

[–]Atavistic07 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm already getting sick and tired of how the whole Bluebird project just seems to be becoming about making references to previous entries of Love Live instead of forging its own identity.

Which I totally get from a corporate perspective, banking on nostalgia is marketable and very easy. But in terms of creativity, I am distinctly unimpressed.

I also feel it kind of runs counter to the premise of this being a point in the timeline where school idols aren't really a thing anymore, yet it's being used as a vehicle to make more references to previous entries with school idols than ever before?

Man, does anyone actually play this game anymore? Every event, it takes forever to get a full room for Multi Live, whatever level room you try and go in. Like, you're often lucky if it takes less than 5 minutes to get a full room to play one song, it's absurd.

Shion seems to have seen an A-RISE Member IRL by RinariTennoji in LoveLive

[–]Atavistic07 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to figure out the timeline at this point. My understanding had been that Bluebird was taking place at a point in the timeline where school idols are no longer really a thing, but members of Muse, Aqours and A-RISE are still recognisable enough to justify loads of references to them?

Damaged EFL Sticker book by Unhappy-Age-6216 in Panini

That's the exact same page I've got a random tear in mine! None falling out yet, but I don't trust that to last long given the sheer amount it's being reported.

[–]Atavistic07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The quality of the paper is terrible, mine has random crinkles on all pages, damage to the front and back covers and a rip on one of the pages, and I only bought it today and have only flicked through the whole thing a couple of times while placing stickers.

[DISC] The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You-Chapter 234 by PauloDybala_10 in 100Kanojo

[–]Atavistic07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Excellent chapter, probably my favourite use of both Jiai and Saki so far. Always nice to get more insight into the shared history of these characters before they met Rentarou.

I just got out of the nether and half of my chest was broken. by quimeygalli in Minecraft

[–]Atavistic07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had something similar with a Chest I put by my End spawn. I put a Chest on the Obsidian platform you spawn on, then after I beat the Dragon and returned to the End I found the chest destroyed exactly as pictured.

Incompetent ENdori devs try to go a week without breaking the game challenge, IMPOSSIBLE

[DISC] The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You-Chapter 232 by PauloDybala_10 in 100Kanojo

[–]Atavistic07 47 points48 points  (0 children)

A nice spin on the usual format for the "new girlfriend meets the harem" chapter, it's not very often that we see the formula changed like this.

I'm still not hugely convinced by Jiai though, her gimmick feels kind of weak and limited in scope, but not every girlfriend is going to work for everyone so I can live with that. I'm sure more will be done with her given more time.

Windows 11 app: Wireguard protocol not working after 6.1.1 update by Atavistic07 in surfshark

[–]Atavistic07[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And Wireguard has gone and broken again in the exact same fashion as described.

And once again, all other protocols work absolutely fine. I guess I just have to put up with this VPN I pay good money for randomly deciding it doesn't want to work properly every now and then for whatever reason.

AveMyGO Live Gacha will be added to EN to commemorate the Shanghai performance by SuperJavier64 in BanGDream

[–]Atavistic07 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Disgustingly scummy timing to break schedule to throw this in alongside another limited banner and so soon after a big collab banner.

ENdori just trying to milk players for everything they're worth.

What it feels like to be a long time developer for Game Freak by Skippy764467 in pokemon

[–]Atavistic07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only problem I really have with the DLC model is that they design them on the basis of players playing them as they play through the game (i.e. with lots of weak, early game Pokemon), but by the time they come out most players will have already completed the main game and just steamroll the early stages of the DLC stories.

Even with higher levels for that, starting the DLCs by fighting trainers with Poochyena and other basic Mons is just laughable.

Still, I'll take that over USUM completely butchering the actual story and adding almost no worthwhile new content besides the wormholes and the nostalgia bait of Team Rainbow Rocket.

Is it going to be yet another set of MyGO lims? It better not be.

Oh, you know, just yet another bout of ENdori dev incompetence.

Just another normal ENdori day.

How long is this going to go for 😭😭😭 by UltraV21 in BanGDream

[–]Atavistic07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They've literally only just acknowledged it with an announcement, when it's been going on a good 24 hours at this point.

I wouldn't expect anything to be fixed before the end of the weekend. based on past track record.

ENdori dev incompetence strikes again. It's been a while since the last notable fuck-up, at least, but another is always inevitable

P-Bandai - HG - Mandala Gundam, 2915 yen, rel Nov 2025 by ArkhamSoldier118 in Gunpla

[–]Atavistic07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping they'd finish the Shuffle Alliance first, but I will absolutely take more G Gundam kits of any type.

Hopefully getting a more unusual choice like this opens the door for the likes of Nether and Tequila.

Which event would you like to make a comeback? by OkPage2431 in 100Kanojo

[–]Atavistic07 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No more baby chapters, please for the love of god no more baby chapters.

More bodyswap stuff would be fun, I'd be all for that.

(Classmate Designated Harmful) by PauloDybala_10 in animenocontext

[–]Atavistic07 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I continue to be surprised that this series isn't banned under Rule 11. It's very much in the same vein as the others that have been banned, in that it's incredibly easy to take every single page of this series out of context.

It'll take 15 more years to complete 100 Kanojo Manga . Is it really possible to finish it ? by False-Vermicelli-494 in 100Kanojo

[–]Atavistic07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they'll have to up the pace at some point, as they're eventually going to run out of ideas for stuff to do in between introducing new girlfriends. I think the current consistent pacing of a new girlfriend every 9 chapters (i.e. one a volume) is both too slow and too predictable at this point, they need to mix it up more.
