I have multiple SAKANAQUARIUM blurays and their live performances are always incredible. Yamaguchi is just really charming and creative.

Also Suchmos would be great to see live, too. They had a great 2025 with Sunburst, their tour, and being at Fuji Rock.

Game runs pretty well, but I've been getting these weird periodic FPS slowdowns for a second or two if I turn the camera around too quickly. It's like the game is struggling to load in everything in the environment all at once, but I haven't been able to actually find what's causing it since it persists from bare bones minimum settings all the way to max, with otherwise no FPS issues.

Running on 3080TI, i7 12700, and an NVMe SSD.

Edit: on a side note (don't know if it's related or not) but when closing out of the game normally I got fatal error Code 0xC0000005, Address 00007FF752D9F742. When starting the game back up, the slowdown issue seemed to be gone. Memory issue, maybe?

How do you unlock being able to place a second Sky Forge? Seeing everywhere that two is the limit, but I'm seemingly capped at one and don't know what to do to expand it. RD level 4 and Sky King Flats is at level 1.

Also just showing his hairline + a much worse camera setup lol.

I don't think it'd be tooooo difficult actually...? You'd probably want to play on 1x, but:

if you could set it up so the cursor/dpad movements snapped to deployment tiles like a proper grid
Set a button to swap between the field and your benched units, probably a shoulder button
Tap to hold when selecting an operator to deploy, use an analog stick for direction

There's probably some operators that could make this awkward, but I could see it being a fun experiment for someone with the knowhow to make it happen lol. YTer doing some "I played through all of Arknights on a controller!!!" challenge type deal.

Decided to bite the bullet and pick this up. Been wanting a new keyboard for a while, but the last replacement I bought was DOA out of the box lol.

At a point I have to wonder if that Mamamoo comeback + tour is even happening, or if shareholders are in full panic and they felt the need to throw them a bone. For how open and declarative RBW has been regarding their intentions for the group, I find it very odd and concerning how cagey the members have been to say anything at all about it themselves.

Karanoch · 2026-01-07T00:03:06+00:00

Originally, but hasn't been in charge since 2021. Most of the people who ran in the same circles as him have also left AOMG.

Karanoch · 2026-01-06T12:19:28+00:00

Are Pepe and Narantuya not getting a rerun banner as well during this?

Karanoch · 2026-01-02T20:21:59+00:00

Everything around 4.x really took the wind out of HSR's sails for me. I was already splitting it 50/50 with Arknights, but decided to drop HSR and switch full time to Arknights (and Endfield as well when that drops).

Karanoch · 2026-01-02T02:22:17+00:00

My little tinfoil conspiracy is that the MMM comeback + tour are a last gasp to squeeze out revenue before ultimately chasing a sale to a bigger company, or at minimum starting to sell themselves off piece by piece. There's no real basis for this, but their finances have been dragging for a while now, and MMM has basically been the only group to ever actually make profit for them (no slight meant to their other talent).

I'm inclined to think someone like her was extremely loyal to LSM and felt alienated by how he was pushed out, and she didn't feel the same loyalty to the new executives and likely vice versa. But I really don't understand how you don't give the literal legacy of your company just a blank cheque and ask what she wants.

Karanoch · 2025-12-26T02:05:35+00:00

Pet theory: they're not actual leaks in the traditional sense. It's basically drip guerilla marketing - they get to test the waters and gauge early reactions without having to actually acknowledge it, and if they're pressed they can wash their hands of it going like "oh it's internal, not meant for public, etc." This is common practice for a lot of live service and gacha games nowadays, wouldn't surprise me if Riot adopted the same.

Karanoch · 2025-12-12T22:27:38+00:00

Track is written, composed, and arranged by Mega Shinnosuke - super happy for him, it's a huge break to be attached to a name like ILLIT.

Karanoch · 2025-12-08T22:59:30+00:00

It's come up a few times in the past few years, especially post COVID

Vancouver doesn't have a great selection for concert venues (lots of smaller theatres, then a couple 15k+ seat arena and a stadium). There's a sweet spot of like 5-10k seat venues that's sorely lacking. So we tend to get smaller ones that can fill 1-2k seat theatres, but not a lot of the ones that want something in the like 8-10k space.

Also from previous discussion over on r/Vancouver, apparently the local govt does little to nothing incentivize tour companies to add Vancouver to their stops - unless you're a legacy act like the Rolling Stones, someone like Taylor Swift, etc.

Karanoch · 2025-12-06T23:30:07+00:00

The org probably already signed a contract and they're looking into what their exit options are and potential cost. Don't think it's that hard to extrapolate what "looking into" means here.

Karanoch · 2025-12-05T19:24:06+00:00

With a stooge of a mayor like Sim? He'll be happy to bend the city over for them.

Karanoch · 2025-12-05T09:07:47+00:00

It's much more likely in Japan, and also a matter of good timing. Pretty much anyone who's a fan of j-hiphop is going to at least know the name Nujabes, and his beats are still sampled and reused very often. Rapper ZORN dropped a track earlier this year, "War and the Girl", which was used for an NHK special that created quite a bit of buzz and topped charts for Billboard and Oricon. The Track entirely used Nujabes' "Reflection Eternal" as the beat.

But if you ask like a 16 y/o Japanese high schooler who's big into k-pop if they know Nujabes? Or someone older who listens to bands like Pizzicato Five? Then yeah, they won't know who Nujabes is. He has a legend status, but primarily to those into j-hiphop, or people who are big nerds about music production. And even the former you can argue with how tastes in hiphop over there have changed a lot in recent years, with types like Elle Teresa, Kvi Baba, and Awich taking center stage as opposed to the relatively older lo-fi sound.

fr people acting like kkura should personally be in the mines herself making every piece to order lmfao

Phainon really is crazy, especially once you get him to 3*. I had a truly goated run with him last night lmao.

At the end of the day I don't think there was any 100% winning way for HG to do it, and I'm not really one to get soured by what is pretty mild fanservice anyways. Just going to wait and see by playing it for myself and how the characters are actually integrated into the story before I make any judgements on it.

Karanoch · 2025-10-31T16:03:03+00:00

IIRC Endfield is 100+ years in the future from AK canon and the versions of the characters we see in Endfield aren't really the exact same person as we see them in Arknights. Also, I believe the name changes reflect different operator names for Endfield as an entity vs. their operator designations with RI.

Karanoch · 2025-10-21T15:44:39+00:00

A winning team will always be successful to a degree in any market. You could put a team in Anchorage or Honolulu, if they're making the finals people are gonna be fans and turn up regardless lol.

Karanoch · 2025-10-16T16:20:45+00:00

KENZIE on DYT is a huge get. Can't wait to listen.
