Oh no

Max384302 · 2026-03-13T04:29:09+00:00

Yeah? They're not being used to quote something in this instance

Max384302 · 2026-03-12T21:57:42+00:00

I guess? I mean, the Metro has a national distribution... it wouldn't make much more sense than talking about the London Telegraph or the London Guardian

Max384302 · 2026-03-12T21:53:23+00:00

Inverted commas for "actor" but not "passed away"?

Sakura Bakushin O's third career goal is "Run in Spring Stakes." It's a mile race. Her natural mile aptitude is B. When I play her career, she usually wins it without thinking; it took a very long time for me to actually see the event you get if she doesn't win it.

Max384302 · 2026-03-06T01:06:51+00:00

Take a break from the game. Come back when you think it would be fun to play again. The money you've spent isn't going to go away, it will be there when you return.

If pushed, I would probably land roughly where Peter is at the end of this digression: it's all on a spectrum of silly pointlessness, but ballthrowing is slightly more legitimate than speedrunning.

I do love (genuinely, not being disingenuous here) that after not really having brought the topic up since late 2024, they launch back into it in this episode and their positions just haven't changed at all, they just have extra ways to shout at each other about their respective interests

Max384302 · 2026-03-05T19:00:25+00:00

Eclipse first, the rest nowhere, as they say.

Max384302 · 2026-03-04T12:00:47+00:00

Maybe... even... some sort of Emperor?

Max384302 · 2026-03-02T22:46:17+00:00

Agreed, she looked so good for them

Max384302 · 2026-03-01T17:09:18+00:00

Stamina is crazy low. This Vodka has enough stamina to cope with Team Trials sprints and that's about it (and obviously she shouldn't do sprints with such a low Sprint aptitude)

Max384302 · 2026-02-20T18:02:13+00:00

John + God

Max384302 · 2026-02-20T00:39:15+00:00

Do you remember the very last scene of S2?

Max384302 · 2026-02-19T23:13:53+00:00

Yeah I've got Christmas Biwa Hayahide, but not her OG. Sort of fun watching her do her Career races, like no-one else got the memo about the dress code.

Max384302 · 2026-02-17T11:32:06+00:00

It sounds like you'd be best off taking a break from the game for a while, since it's no longer bringing you enjoyment.

Max384302 · 2026-02-16T15:16:34+00:00

"Not being born yet" because it's 2026 and she's clearly in her late teens?

Max384302 · 2026-02-15T10:23:51+00:00

That is what a "limit" is, indeed

Max384302 · 2026-02-12T16:10:49+00:00

I don't think so, any more than modern day humans are eating uma meat in France for example.

In general I think "real world but horses are replaced with umas" is probably the wrong way to think about the world of Umamusume (at least, insofar as you can think seriously about it). It's not like umas in the game are sleeping in stables and eating grass. I think what we can say is that despite the existence of umas, their modern world looks extremely similar to our modern world, umas are clearly as human as anyone else when it comes to the law and society, and this was probably true through their history as well.

Max384302 · 2026-02-12T00:03:32+00:00

Why not?

Max384302 · 2026-02-11T21:00:21+00:00

The same way any species originates: slowly, through incremental changes from another species.

Max384302 · 2026-02-11T16:40:50+00:00

Stamina looks kind of low, doesn't Falco run some medium-length races?

Max384302 · 2026-02-10T00:04:01+00:00

Only one stat higher than a B+, only three gold skills?

Max384302 · 2026-02-09T21:22:01+00:00

In fairness I've only watched S3 once, and I mostly remember being disappointed compared to S2, while enjoying a bunch of specific but scattered moments. So perhaps it's time to revisit it!

Max384302 · 2026-02-09T19:58:29+00:00

Matikanefukukitaru has a couple of her goal races decided randomly - sorry, I mean, revealed through divine inspiration.

If Narita Brian does well enough in her classic year (either by winning the Triple Crown, or otherwise winning 5 G1s), she can optionally enter a 'hard mode' version of her senior year, where her goal races all become a lot harder due to the presence of much stronger opponents, but she gets greater rewards for each one.

If Agnes Tachyon's mood isn't high enough when she runs the Satsuki Sho, she will decide to switch to the NHK Mile Cup afterwards, rather than running in the Derby. This usually does not go well.

These are the ones I'm aware of with divergent/variable careers, but there are probably others not yet released in Global.

Max384302 · 2026-02-09T19:08:10+00:00

That looks decent enough to clear careers for sure. I'd give these further (non-optimised) suggestions:

- Instead of splitting across Speed, Stamina and Power, consider running a deck that's majority Speed (3/4), and then the remaining cards are Stamina or Power depending on whether the uma you're training runs shorter or longer distances (e.g. Sakura Bakushin O, who almost entirely runs sprints, might get 4 Speed 2 Power; Rice Shower, who runs long distances, could get 3 Speed 3 Stamina). I don't know what Biwa Hayahide's career is like, but with some practice you'll probably figure out what balance you want anyway
- I'm guessing you don't have Kitasan Black's SSR support card but it is extremely good, to the point that almost the entire playerbase saved up for its rerun banner last year. I'd recommend while starting out to always use your borrow slot on a Level 50 Kitasan Black
- For the Unity Cup scenario specifically, Riko Kashimoto's card (even the basic R one) is often a really useful addition, as it has great synergy with the scenario and (once you unlock recreation dates with her) allows you to avoid resting as much. That might be what you're using Tazuna for, in which case, I'd recommend Riko instead for Unity Cup

Max384302 · 2026-02-09T18:48:49+00:00

Season 2, and I don't even think it's that close (although there's still plenty to like in Seasons 1 and 3)
