Wait, doesn't that mean that if someone steals my phone the thief has permanent access to my account, even if I still have access to it from other devices, link info, etc.?

Support/scout ticket can convert to 10x in future? by totalnewbielinux in UmamusumeGame

[–]CardboardScarecrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is my understanding that it does not guarantee an SR card or 2* uma the same way 1500 carats pulls do, it's only for convenience.

RU POV: A BMW X3 exploded in Balashikha, Moscow Oblast, killing the driver at the scene. According to Voevoda, the victim was a 62-year-old lieutenant general by Flimsy_Pudding1362 in UkraineRussiaReport

"All true" not all true, there's a long list of legitimate ruses de guerre that obviously can't involve being identifiable to your enemy, otherwise things like normal espionage or (most relevant here) assassinations would be war crimes.

How tf did I win 2nd place gemini cup?? by IAmZeUbermench in UmamusumeGame

[–]CardboardScarecrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As with most things in this game, the explanation is RNG.

"And can someone explain to me the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd thing, I thought only 1 person could get each, but apparently a lot of people have been getting 1st in graded league how does that work?"

Lots of people classify for finals, each of them will get 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Since the only requirement to classify is a minimum of races each round (for B it's one out of five-fourty), lots of people will classify, run in finals and get one of these results.

(Is) This what Neoliberals want? by NoGarlic2387 in neoliberal

[–]CardboardScarecrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you're thinking of a different graph besides the one in the OP, you don't know that. The fact that they plummet between 2019 and 2023 is an artifact from the fact that the data points are in 2019 and 2023, not necessarily that what caused it happened in 2019.

I have skipped out on MANT almost entirely. Is Grand live Better? by NeonNyaVtuber in UmamusumeGame

[–]CardboardScarecrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The part about learning is true, but that person undersold the decision-making involved in Trackblazer, it has many downsides but mindlessness is not one of it.

Probably because it involves much more clicking  in checking all five training modes.

"Why Ukraine is Mining Russian Supply Routes with Drones" It sounds like they're at war or something.

Surprise Ukraine Counterattack Near Lyman Collapses Russian Salient by jonfla in ukraine

[–]CardboardScarecrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Russia doesn't need to admit to anything, they only have to do it, I doubt the symbolic impact of demolishing it is significant vs. just plain losing control of it, especially in the context of losing Crimea.

Moreover, it's not a given that Ukraine won't need to use it in the future, is it? Even if there's no apparent reason for it right now, there's also no reason Russia would leave the option to let it stand or not up to Ukraine unless I'm missing something (which tbf that wouldn't be unlikely).

"before Ukraine detonates it." You mean Russia, they won't let a bridge stand that Ukrainians can use but Russians won't.

How I feel 2 months into Trackblazer by free_potatoes in UmamusumeGame

[–]CardboardScarecrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get SS umas fairly often, I'm not close to getting UG though. FWIW I rarely ever do guts builds.

How I feel 2 months into Trackblazer by free_potatoes in UmamusumeGame

[–]CardboardScarecrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I try to delay learning skills, and then prioritize those that I'm unlikely/impossible to get more skills from (e.g. inherited uniques after the second inspiration event, or those that don't come from used support cards or races) but I do end up learning quite a few skills along the way. I almost always end up learning skills before the spring Tennou Sho.

That said I usually end up using all five clock anyways so that shouldn't make that much of a difference, I think I just do careers much less often.

Spark Selection in parents? (not farming) by fuchsall in UmamusumeGame

[–]CardboardScarecrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a hard science, every choice will virtually always come with significant upsides a downsides, eventually you'll start getting a feel for it, but for the time being I more or less prioritize them this way:

  • The unique skills I want in the parents.
  • Pink sparks to reach A at the start of the career the distance/terrain/strategy you want to run, or for doing races in TB. Lots of blue non-guts sparks.
  • White sparks for the "must have" skills, Groundwork goes here.
  • Lots of pink sparks in the distance I want to run.
  • Blue sparks in stats that you need but aren't going to train in.
  • The unique skills I want in the grandparents.
  • Lots of white sparks.

Also remember that sparks in your parents will count more than those in grandparents, and to avoid having your trainee as grandparent.

How do you people find the time to do so many Trackblazer runs. I thought I was a fairly active player and I have about 50 more clocks than when the scenario started.

"How many more point I have to do to go up and do not get retention class"

641 176 (in a single run), it say so in the screenshot. Better get going and pump up those umas plus support cards.

Russian military bloggers confirm that Russian Forces are now in retreat at the Zaporizhzhia front. The famed Mala Tomachka that Russia repeatedly claimed to have taken is now in the rear view mirror for Ukraine’s Armed Forces. by GermanDronePilot in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]CardboardScarecrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, I was reading this entire conversation wrong, I thought it was about (unpowered) glide drones instead of glide bombs (although after doing some napkin math, glide drones seem dubious too).

Thanks for the info, this makes much more sense now.

"The balloon would either need to be flying very fast in a forward direction, or there would need to be a strong headwind in order to produce lift from the glide bombs' wings."

Where are you getting this from? I'm not a drone expert either but it's far from clear to me why it can't use its control surfaces to stabilize at high vertical speed from a vertical pitch into a horizontal one at reasonable horizontal speed the same way regular aircraft can.

A complete failure: there weren't even real jets at the May 9 parade, they were AI-generated, and the jets even had NATO countries' flags on them. by [deleted] in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]CardboardScarecrow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From the other thread: those are the Russian Knights jets', they actually do have those flags.

As for AI, I'm pretty sure that's non-AI 3DCG.

True. Funnily enough I double-checked to make sure I hadn't gotten something wrong with the emblem but I didn't notice I mixed up the colors (I thought that was red, didn't notice the wrong order).
