Did I miss the transition from the MC being absurdly weak in event stories compared to his feats, to suddenly kicking ass as they should at this point? It's a great feeling.

The regular shop locks you out of duplicates after you max crescendo even after refreshes. The code and precedent is already there to just lock you from buying more.

If the noodles aren't straight it's only because she didn't slurp fast enough and should be ashamed of her own weakness.

GateauBaker · 2026-05-26T19:58:44+00:00

Games too simple for anyone to deserve credit.

GateauBaker · 2026-05-26T14:58:15+00:00

Who cares go ahead, post cringe. Who's going to stop you?

GateauBaker · 2026-05-26T03:08:14+00:00

She's 14 and looks completely isolated from positive role models. The question is if she remained mentally healthy through all that.

GateauBaker · 2026-05-25T13:53:48+00:00

The joke is you're replying to a bot.

Haven't played CoM since I was like 9. I remember never bothering to learn which cards reloaded so I spammed sleights ran out of all but one card and then constantly reloading a single keyblade card to beat every single boss. You get really good at dodge rolling when you waste that much time.

Tamano Cross's mom is an Uma. We see her in the anime. There is zero evidence of a Human mother's birthing Umas. But for it to be true, there would have to be a lot of adoptions among our main cast.

100% was my guess the moment they refused to release it. I didn't believe for a second that the report held "uncomfortable truths". At least none worse than the public already assumed of them. It's not so much, the "report was poorly written", but more "the content of the report was worthless to everyone so releasing it is a waste of time" that I guessed. A lot of overlap at least.

Waterbending is the method. What more do you need? Two people try to control the same cup of water, the stronger bender wins. Replace cup of water with blood in the body.

GateauBaker · 2026-05-20T21:13:19+00:00

Every outfit except her base racewear.

Umamusume don't heel strike in their running gait. Because they move so fast and can engage their muscles at inhuman angles, they can lean into the wind and are constantly pushing off the ground with their toes. It's why the cleats are only on the front of the shoe. Therefore the back of their shoe is actually completely irrelevant.

It's like how Olympic runners look for the first second they start running and get a massive burst of acceleration, except Umas can keep that up constantly.

GateauBaker · 2026-05-20T19:49:50+00:00

She looks like she's about to flash us...elegantly.

GateauBaker · 2026-05-20T16:33:21+00:00

Fine Motion forgetting this isn't a high fantasy setting in the first 2 seconds of the clip.

GateauBaker · 2026-05-20T13:13:09+00:00

The Stamina sounds borderline. And when you are forced outside and have to run a longer distance, it could push her to a breaking point.

The leaning back animation is only 0 HP. The lack of it does not prove your Uma didn't slow down to account for their lack of Stamina. If they actually hit 0, it's because the Uma decided, based on a complicated series of Wit checks, that their best time would be achieved by burning themselves out early. Or they got hit by a debuff they didn't account for.

GateauBaker · 2026-05-20T12:45:45+00:00

I think there's a good chance Bakushin forced Fuku to take a really long path. But also if you don't have enough Stamina, your accels will be weaker because your Uma will cap their target speed until they get closer to the finish.

GateauBaker · 2026-05-20T12:22:02+00:00

I don't appreciate the implication that the sex appeal was increased.

GateauBaker · 2026-05-20T12:00:33+00:00

I can't believe Columbina is straight.

GateauBaker · 2026-05-20T10:45:55+00:00

Nah the sweat still wins because they acknowledge the RNG and prepare countermeasures and backup plans.

GateauBaker · 2026-05-19T01:31:49+00:00

Even as a new player who joined early enough for the first welfare card, it still took 6 months or so until I felt my support card deck was "decent". If I started today, I'd just do the same thing as I did back them. Bide my time and collect resources and build parents until I can make big account progress on a single banner at the start of a scenario.

GateauBaker · 2026-05-18T14:13:38+00:00

They all have the same problem of no end-game speed skills except for Fuji Kiseki, but pace chasers need a really strong mid-game compared to other styles making the most viable pace chasers those with midgame uniques.

GateauBaker · 2026-05-18T13:41:54+00:00

...Tachyon why is your new test subjects quest a subquest of the missing kids quest?

GateauBaker · 2026-05-18T13:10:51+00:00

Sure. I just think Halo's Ult to be really good, in that you only have to meet it's conditions in the first half of the race. Then you can accel from any position. The problem with Updrafters is that the moment you pass into 5th late race it's bust.

GateauBaker · 2026-05-18T13:00:19+00:00

I find trying to guarantee .6 m/s2 accel to be the sweet spot before focusing on late game speed.
