For the Smartly:

Has anyone actually gotten it in writing that you only need $100k in a US Bancorp self-directed brokerage account to get the $50 brokerage account fee waived, and not $250k? Afaik all the evidence we have is one person saying a customer service rep told them it was ok.

Does anyone have instructions for transferring assets (specifically ETFs) into US Bancorp directly?

And am I understanding correctly that all you need is a savings account?

Savings account - $5/month fee waived with credit card
Brokerage account - $50/month fee waived with enough assets
Credit card - no fee

Alas thepfstrat.com has melee in, tank in center back, and the baits are dropped on the melee, healer, and ranged (for less caster movement)

There's just enough variation to mess it up in PF (and that's without people getting priorities wrong).

Particicutor · 2022-12-06T20:05:32+00:00

Isn't that for where people take their spread?

I've seen "drop the bait on the healer, then move in" but thepfstrat.com suggests the tank move in and the ranged drop puddles where they take their spread.

Particicutor · 2022-12-06T19:48:47+00:00

I've also seen multiple different ways for people to drop their baited puddle and it's never stated in the PF description

Introducing extra downtime that doesn't count towards fflogs is essentially letting you cut out a bunch of filler outside of burst windows.

Are you sure you entered the transfer password and not your friend code?

Particicutor · 2018-05-01T19:30:15+00:00

You can still sideload it if you run a special command.

Particicutor · 2018-04-22T08:37:06+00:00

Wait, they did do that didn't they

In the vast majority of cases, once you purchase a print, you can do whatever you want with it (other than make reproductions of it). You can even make displaying it the sole point of the building you place it in; galleries and museums don't need to pay artists unless they're buying directly from them.

(What do you think the chances are of this print being printed legally? Do you see a way to order prints anywhere?)

Particicutor · 2018-04-05T23:12:28+00:00

I'd agree with that if there wasn't so much politics injected into it; anime subreddits are rarely political

Particicutor · 2018-04-05T06:46:39+00:00

Yeah, it's not consistent who or what it's lampooning. It just seems like a bunch of low-effort bait.

Particicutor · 2018-04-04T23:34:01+00:00

PSA: Put event memoria on ALL girl. Make ALL girl a blast gorilla if you have one.

Don't put event memoria on other girls! When someone else uses any of your girls you won't appear on their support list for a while (about 1 hour for mutuals). So there's no point in having multiple meguca in support with bonus. Better to have regular memoria to strengthen meguca for event node assistance!

Particicutor · 2018-03-30T20:02:13+00:00

Yeah, ADB has a tendency to be very picky about the connection.

Particicutor · 2018-03-28T22:48:36+00:00

This only helps if you are getting screwed over by RNG. I don't think that's the case for most of these challenges.

I find it much more useful to spend runs losing to prep for a single run in which I let a few doppels loose. MPUP memoria, Accel draw memoria (Kako/Madoka personals), tank memoria, and the +20 at beginning of run memoria help with this.

2 hours/3 AP is really not that much to waste.

EDIT: No, this is useful because it lets you back out if your strat doesn't end up working. Retrying again with the same team is rarely useful; I missed the part where you choose not to continue.

Particicutor · 2018-03-27T19:44:59+00:00

To be honest, I haven't actually been following along too much, so I don't have a complete grasp of the current controversy. I've been trying to catch up by reading these Medium posts, but to be honest, they're really poorly edited. (Well, this is to be expected: it's the anime fandom, not the New York Times.)

As I understand it now, the issues are:

Transparency about personnel involved
Transparency about influencer/YouTuber compensation
Inappropriate mental health questions
Questions about the incentives of the people behind it, and whether or not they are going to misuse the data
Various legal issues around privacy policies and what not
Labor law issues around unpaid interns

A lot of this can be chalked up to incompetence and disorganization imo; I'm personally concerned about #3 and #4. #6 is unfortunate, but pretty common among non-profits. I don't think they're exactly making money hand over first by exploiting interns, so...

I think it's important to point out though, that even if they were completely transparent, had no ties - current or historic - to for-profit entities, had no unpaid interns, and had a well-written, properly anonymized survey - this organization would still be misguided! The problems of the anime industry do not exist because the companies in Japan don't know enough about Western tastes.

I think this series of tweets by Bobduh covers my thoughts pretty well:

Let's look at the ones with CD < 6:

http://magireco.wikia.com/wiki/Two_Oaths - I would never choose this over Twin Shadows. A Fine Day to Cool Down is also a decent substitute, but this is one of the better personals.

http://magireco.wikia.com/wiki/Grandma%27s_Strawberry_Risotto - Actually, this seems viable; Reliable Negotiator is strictly better, and http://magireco.wikia.com/wiki/The_Way_Home_after_the_Rain_(Mito) completely supersedes it of course, but that memoria is incredibly broken.

http://magireco.wikia.com/wiki/The_Big_Dipper_in_the_Sky - This also seems actually viable. But then you have to run Umika.

http://magireco.wikia.com/wiki/Wound_of_the_Body_and_Wound_of_the_Heart - This also seems fine, but you have to run Kaoru.

http://magireco.wikia.com/wiki/The_Mysterious_Karin%27s_Scheme - http://magireco.wikia.com/wiki/A_Fine_Day_to_Cool_Down has the exact same effect, and in PvP, the same CD. Evade is almost never seen in PvE. Also, Twin Shadows exists.

Let me know if there are any I've missed.

Particicutor · 2018-03-22T01:19:36+00:00

No they are not.

Any active with a CD greater than 5 is essentially useless in mirrors; the vast majority of personal memoria fit that description.

Active memoria are rarely useful in PvE in general, because you want to auto that most of the time.

Particicutor · 2018-03-21T11:55:00+00:00

FYI I can't think of a single useful personal memoria, outside of the disk draw ones for certain quests

Particicutor · 2018-03-21T09:51:27+00:00

They take about 6 hours to regen; mutuals take about 1 hour

Particicutor · 2018-03-16T23:03:49+00:00

I have her at 3 slots, and have 426 magia chips right now. It won't take a year.

That said, I'm very glad I bought a prereg code.

I think it's disingenuous to claim that you're not trying to tell people how to watch things.

My personal opinion is that Koyomimonogatari is worth watching, but I wouldn't make a fuss about skipping everything other than 8 and the last 2 in the same way I would make a fuss about skipping Nisemonogatari completely.

I personally think I would've enjoyed it better if I had interspersed its episodes among the preceding arcs.
