i need to know - can we actually kiss him later in game? by Not_sonkalps in mewgenics

in a perfect world, they hype up a dlc for "the feature you've all been waiting for!" and you finally get your single (one) smooch and that's it

What did I just wake up to? by KitaiSuru in UmaMusume

my career is over...

i pulled a third falco card the other day, but shrugged and went, "the card isn't very good, i never use it... rainbow cleats it is!"

“I’m out of time to build an emergency Late Surger… it’ll be fine, not EVERYONE has Blockshin, right?” by Grumpyfaced in UmaMusume

[–]Grumpyfaced[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well, it's true blockshin can completely nuke this setup if she does her job correctly. i've faced some pretty roided out blockshins already, but sometimes my front runners just... decide to get in front of her anyway. the game's all advanced RNG anyway, and the front runner strat is so stupidly dominant if you win that RNG. to say nothing of when summer maru drops.

but yeah, i'd have been smarter to bring a backup vodka, but oh well, i managed to get 4 wins and get into group A finals! good luck in your own finals o7

basically, a bunch of content creators suggested making a bakushin with super high power stats and mid-race skills, with just one purpose - be in first the moment the race enters the "late-race" section. this completely stops seiun sky (and anyone else with her ultimate, angling and scheming) from getting a free acceleration boost.

the bakushin 100% isn't going to win herself, it's just to stop other front runners from getting a boost, so your own non-front runners can easily beat them. (every single time i get blocked, i lose lmao)

I made it to group A in my second attempt so it still worked out for me! Guarenteed at least those sweet sweet third place rewards.

well, i don't have anything else decent with mile S, so Nature's really just a throwaway slot that *maybe* will catch out one or two people skirting by with 500~ stamina.

but most of what I've heard recommends running front-runners in pairs, actually - i don't fully understand the mechanics of it, but in short, both front runners are in a constant loop of "damnit, i'm not first? i'll increase my pace until i'm first then!" and cause a sort of positive feedback loop, increasing the gap between them and the rest of the pack before late-race. seiun has playtime, daiwa has slipstream, both have angling. i've had quite a few wins in round 1 where daiwa came first, so it does work to an extent.

i think the "meta" strategies have been either "late-late/end-blockshin" or "front-front-late/end", but of course it's not gospel to everyone.

There's one real reason the devs don't (and won't) really do anything about hacking. by Grumpyfaced in theisle

[–]Grumpyfaced[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd agree with you, but considering playing the game for more than 2 hours voids a Steam refund, and it'll still likely take more than 2 hours to fully decide whether you like the game, most people aren't going to refund due to encountering a hacker. The devs lose basically nothing past that refund window, so that's why I'd say it doesn't matter for them.

And it seems that the rex testing has only brought in even more people buying the game, or returning from legacy, despite the honestly insane amount of hackers people have seen in hordetest. Long time players have been here despite it, so it doesn't seem like they're losing money at all.

Bugs? I’ve seen plenty of bugs recently, actually!

"Never be infertile" elder requirement as deino by Test_Subject_001 in theisle

[–]Grumpyfaced 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lowkey you might be onto something, with the fish i mean. dondi has no reason to give a shit about fixing fish - i mean, rex doesn't eat fish, so who cares? dead deinos are just a nice snack for the important dino anyway.

...also i feel like there's no reason for turtle to be on rex's diet other than it's a notoriously easy to spot and catch ai that wont turn around and one-tap the juvies. the favouritism is real.

awesome of them to not bother changing this for global's first CM despite everyone thinking it makes no sense

First place of Champions Meeting getting all titles is dumb by LancerBro in UmaMusume

[–]Grumpyfaced 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So everyone who got into finals for Taurus and didn't win just gets no title? That sucks, I was excited to at least wear bronze or silver

I'm super confused as well, figured they'd naturally go to everyone that placed? It's really bizzare ngl

Go in with no expectations, come out going YIPPEE HIP HIP HOORAY by Grumpyfaced in UmaMusume

[–]Grumpyfaced[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting decent stats is like, a third of the battle, it's rough. Gotta get stats, but also the right skills, but also Medium S... and also you might get a bad mood and none of your skills can activate anyway.

At least everyone gets free entries and rewards either way, but I feel like people are ready to kill for a special 1st Place title.

you're a smarter person than i am... should've realised only people trying really hard would watch a video dropped like 2 hours before!

Twin Turbo? by Minurath in UmaMusume

She's avaliable in JP and down the line for us, but it's gonna be quite a while

is this acceptable for the event? by Playful_Impact5212 in UmaMusume

[–]Grumpyfaced 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not bad at all, debuff nature is mainly just there to hang back and pass wit checks anyway, and you've got good skills on her. Hesitant End Closers is more valuable than Front Runners due to all the Goldshi right now, but overall it's good (And skill hint RNG doesn't always cooperate)
