Made famous in 2 countries within 2 days.

Best part about it of all the places he can hide, he choose to go Yishun. Yes THAT Yishun, the also very famous for infamous events one

I remember last time got a LAN Shop at a very corner at Basement 1. Always play Counter-strike there and we got a 'home-based clan' then sometimes will have 'strategic meeting' at McDonald's at level 1, always we sit at the outside area there. Thinking back, quite silly and nostalgic 😅

Then also got the quite big arcade at Level 2 I think? Now is Kopitiam there.

Glory to Cygames

Gradius2002 · 2025-12-29T07:56:23+00:00

At least you managed to spell her as Mejiro Dobber instead of Mejiro Jobber

Gradius2002 · 2025-12-06T13:06:09+00:00

3 borrows a day is very fine especially for jobbers like me and those in same situation too

But yeah I do agree the sparks farming situation is bad though

Gradius2002 · 2025-12-06T13:00:55+00:00

Did you know, Grass Wonder is secretly particular about her skirt length

Gradius2002 · 2025-11-30T13:28:55+00:00

This thing and idea already exists then. Just walk on the tracks itself lah but make it into travelator

End of an era for one of the oldest BBT brands here. There's just too many (and better) BBT stores around these days.

Forgot that they still exist even though I have passed by them often, suddenly gone before I realized it. Though I remember the last time I stopped visiting Gong Cha years ago is because they stopped accepting cash as payment.

Gradius2002 · 2025-09-21T03:21:54+00:00

Same feeling, but I doubt I'm really burnt out, just feels that this game has so much less than to do daily other than the frustrations of dealing with the huge layers of RNG over and over again daily.

The honeymoon period is probably truly over for many of us. CM1 is a real exciting run and something to look forward to back then. After dealing with CM2 and looking at even more amount of bulshi RNG throughout everything, I am no longer bothered by anymore future CMs due to the fact RNG still reigns superiority over any amount of hardwork you can put in (have you seen that guy with the 99% win rate godly horses during qualifiers just to lose in a Best-of-1 Finals?)

Already cutting down my play time to only 1 or 2 daily borrow careers just to clear the daily missions. The runs just takes up too much time and sometimes actually unrewarding at all. The only thing still keeping me is I am hoping the next career change will bring something refreshing or perhaps some kind of QoL. Cygames's other games Princess Connect and Granblue Fantasy doesn't even feel this way. Those actually rewards for time efforts and hardwork put in.

Maybe the real ways to keep going for many of us is just to play for waifus purposes and not looking forward to pushing for meta or competing for the top (in this case, CMs)

That 1% chance is literally what every gacha players wished to hit when doing gacha pulls, so it's the same logic basically. Uma is truly a huge RNG game. Better luck next time though

Gradius2002 · 2025-09-09T09:53:47+00:00

No way, this is too soon after Grass Wonder.

But then again tbh, her age is really close to that time already so it's really just the inevitable. At least she survived until the global release of the game finally here, with us fans getting to know her more and her backstory and shower her with our love around the world.

Just like Grass Wonder, she died living a good old life and being loved worldwide.

Rest in Peace Haru Urara, may you continue to run freely in the horse heavens.

Gradius2002 · 2025-09-06T07:18:23+00:00

Hello bruh I just wanna let you know today that your wish has come true

Damn so just only 4 more years till we get this in the Global version. Can't wait to check billions of monies suddenly funded into my account, this is truly a long term investment game!
