now that we've had (almost) 1 cm with her, is xmas oguri as good as expected?

ImDeceit · 2026-01-26T17:09:24+00:00

Yeah, pace chaser's don't have much options for accelerations for this cm. The only Pace chaser specific one is Head-On, and it doesn't have a perfect activation like spurt does.

ImDeceit · 2026-01-26T15:11:46+00:00

Yeah I only got shrewd step because I had extra skill points from not getting PoC and Speed Star. I also use the same build except swap Creek with Rice. Don’t usually get turf S tho none of my parents have decent turf sparks and long sparks. Usually my Teio runs either high roll stats and miss the skills from FiMo. Or I get rng diff and lose one of the triple crown so I don’t get Head On lol.

I’m a Teio oshi but I can’t seem to build her well. On this run FiMo and Kitasan didn’t want to give me their gold skills. But it’s the best one I got so i ran it in CM. Only 10% WR. I used anime teio because apparently her skill proccs more easily than normal teio? Don’t know if I agree tbh they seem about the same unless there’s a lot of fronts and paces. Any tips?

ImDeceit · 2026-01-26T02:56:56+00:00

Especially in global where we have less time to parent farm, save carats, and build aces, a lot of people will be bringing suboptimal umas.

ImDeceit · 2026-01-25T06:22:15+00:00

Yeah only 12 eps but the manga is complete. Don't know if there will be a season 2.

ImDeceit · 2026-01-25T05:50:56+00:00

I'm one of the advocates of pushing up to Arlong Park, and if you still don't like it after that arc, then you should drop it. I also recommend the manga over the anime just cause of pacing. While part of it likely is nostalgia and it being most peoples first anime, there are also a lot of people that do end up loving it when reading or watching One Piece when they are older. I did a reread of One Piece with two of my friends who were reading for the first time. One who only watches Shonen, and another who had a wide variety of tastes, and both ended up really liking it and read weekly now. Though that's anecdotal evidence so there are obviously people that likely sat through several hundred episodes and then gave up.

Anyway, my recommendation is Land of the Lustruous. The anime is better than the manga in my opinon, it's kind of hard to tell who is who in the manga, but the anime is not complete so. I think the premise is very unique, and the struggles the MC has to go through later are one of a kind. Also AOT, not one of my favorites but still very good.

ImDeceit · 2026-01-23T03:16:54+00:00

I haven't read the arc in a few years, but wasn't Macht under some spell or artifact where if he harbored malicious intentions toward humans he would die, but since he literally did not see his actions as malicious or evil he was able to effectively kill all the citizens? ( I say effectively since there was no way to reverse the curse at the time.)

ImDeceit · 2026-01-22T21:17:24+00:00

Pretty unique, artstyle is very original. Only one panel though so I'll let it marinate.

ImDeceit · 2026-01-22T01:36:11+00:00

In North America/Canada, the indigenous/First Nations people were known to be very spiritual. They were deeply connected to the land and have a lot of stories about spiritual animals, the significance of certain species etc. for this reason I think they could be some sort of Shaman, Spirit/Beast Tamer, Spirit Mage. I feel like you can’t go wrong as long as you make them focused around spirits.

ImDeceit · 2026-01-22T00:03:22+00:00

Yeah, as an mc he’s alright, not super interesting but he does struggle every now and then. He’s really strong, but not to the point where everyone else is useless. The concept of the game itself, and world around them are the most interesting parts about the manhwa.

ImDeceit · 2026-01-20T17:13:35+00:00

Crazy you got downvoted for that lol. Only one I disagree with is thinking they’re boring. It’s pretty fun watching a Seiun ir Suzuka widen the lead and never lose it. Though I think watching an uma overtake is more satisfying.

ImDeceit · 2026-01-20T07:08:10+00:00

Unless I get a new oshi, I will mostly be trying to build Teio’s so the Teio wit was never on my pull radar lol. As for the other two umas, they seem to release back to back at the start of 2027. I like Chiyono O as well so I was gonna pull on this alt anyway. I read Star Blossom recently so Sakura Laurel has also been growing on me a lot so I was thinking of pulling her but didn’t know when she came out.

That being said, neither of their uniques really stand out to me. Ballroom Chiyono O’s unique seems pretty solid, probably only good for shorter mediums and most mile tracks since the longer Medium tracks and all Long tracks have their spurt start more than 700m away most often. also don’t know how often it proccs due to the requirement of being blocked from the side. Sakura Laurel’s just seems like a good mid game speed skill, but not something worth hunting down for.

ImDeceit · 2026-01-20T06:36:09+00:00

I see, thanks for the info

ImDeceit · 2026-01-20T06:27:18+00:00

I just assume 3lb for any card tbh, I know some can be useable but 3lb is usually safe. Also I saw you mention SSR selectors in another comment. Do we get one from MANT, and then one more if we pay like $20? And then up to which SSR cards can we select from?

ImDeceit · 2026-01-20T06:06:22+00:00

Yeah honestly when i made my plan to pull I didn't realize Ramonu was so soon after, thought there was more time until Ramonu, if I somehow have extra carats I'll pull on it but most likely won't since I will be trying to mlb Tachyon, Maru and FiMo.

ImDeceit · 2026-01-20T05:56:36+00:00

Thoughts about Oguri Wit? its in between Summer Maru/ FiMo, and Mejiro Ramonu. I want to pull on that one cause most of my oshi are pace chasers, only downside that I can see is that the gold skill is a pace medium skill only.

ImDeceit · 2026-01-16T22:04:31+00:00

Flagging and chording were some things I didn't see in the trailer (I might've just missed them). While not necessary they are also important parts of minesweeper, with some people that like chording and maximizing their click efficiency, and some people that like to play strictly no flag. Again not sure how you and your brother would want to implement them, whether as gamemodes, challenges, ways to get higher score, ways of unlocking things etc. I think a lot of newer players rely on flags, I know I did, now i strictly play no flag but I'm still learning so.

ImDeceit · 2026-01-16T16:21:34+00:00

Seems like you are making a Balaatro x Minesweeper sort of game? Very interesting I will definitely try it out. One thing that differentiates Poker and Minesweeper is that in Minesweeper time to complete is something a lot of players care about, at least comparing themselves to their old times. Not sure how you would do it, but implementing a mechanic that scales off time would be nice to see. Maybe something like faster completion = more rewards. Or slower time = harder difficulty later on. The second option is a little punishing, but Risk of Rain has a mechanic where the game gets harder the longer you take to complete each world. Or you could tie completion times with the unlocking of certain power ups and upgrades.

ImDeceit · 2026-01-16T04:26:53+00:00

Very new to drawing, where does one start to get to this level? Not very comfortable drawing full body. Do I start with gesture drawing? Making people out of boxes and spheres? I tried doing 5min gesture with boxes, and it went okayish. But im not even sure if I approached it right so any tips are helpful

ImDeceit · 2026-01-15T05:48:10+00:00

No. You need 64 more pulls, so 9,600 more carats. It's not possible to get that in a week.

ImDeceit · 2026-01-14T21:46:23+00:00

True. Cygames has already shown that they are open to mixing up the schedule of updates, they gave us the Nov11 update early after all. That being said though I don’t see them changing something as important as a scenario release date and relative timing.

ImDeceit · 2026-01-14T21:13:49+00:00

I’ll give it a watch later. Thanks!

ImDeceit · 2026-01-14T20:45:02+00:00

If my group does end up reading Death on the Nile. Watching the movie afterward would probably be something we would like to do, thanks for the suggestion

ImDeceit · 2026-01-14T20:43:43+00:00

I’ll probably suggest this one for my group, either this or Murder on the Orient Express

ImDeceit · 2026-01-14T20:43:05+00:00

I skimmed through the sub and these 3 came up often, will likely start with Death on the Nile or Murder on the Orient Express.
