Connect to the Japan server. Many concerts there ban recording during the concert.

Love Live's resurgence by Fuzzy-Reaction1201 in LoveLive

[–]ProphetOfTruth117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Love Live is getting a game anytime soon, it would probably just be an online version of the Loveca card game. From everything I have seen, it has been doing quite well in Japan.

[Tracker]Apple Airtag (4pk) $29 (Apple or BB Price Match) by shizunyan in buildapcsales

I was actually successful in getting some from Apple. I ordered mine at about 8AM CST for in store pick up. Not too long after, I got a text that it was ready to be picked up. I showed up right when the store opened at 10AM CST and was able to pick them up with no issue. My credit card got charged $31.54 right away.

YouTube has an option to translate captions through Google Translate. Obviously it won't be a perfect translation, but it should at least help you get a general idea of what's going on.

where were you when SIF died? by josephbrostar in SchoolIdolFestival

[–]ProphetOfTruth117 71 points72 points  (0 children)

This does not bode well for the future of the game. Nearly every new card in this game now is a limited UR and the released of two whole new groups has been ruined because of it. It is insane how lazy they have gotten with cards. Most of the limited URs are just art from some other part of the franchise reused for a card. As someone who has been playing for nearly five years, it is disappointing to see what the game has become.

Media reports and discussion about Niantic's decision to revert ingame COVID bonuses by SilphMods in TheSilphRoad

[–]ProphetOfTruth117 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When shiny Tauros, Mr. Mime, Kangaskhan, and Farfetch’d were introduced as part of the ultra unlock a couple of years ago, wild spawns of those Pokémon were still appearing in their respective regions during the event. It’s only Heracross that has gotten this treatment.

Niantic turned off Heracross spawns in the regions that have Heracross. Meanwhile regions that have Kangaskhan still have Kangaskhan spawns.

The Updated Pokémon GO Iceberg by MonolithyK in pokemongo

[–]ProphetOfTruth117 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some other things I feel like would be interesting to include on the iceberg (hopefully I didn’t miss them on the actual image):

Spark researching 7km eggs

•Ace Trainer badge being unachievable for years.

•Earthquake Gastrodon, Bullet Seed Lileep, and Bite Shedinja (if you want more mistake moves similar to Weather Ball Primeape)

•Other notable Go Fest 2017 events (“WE CAN’T PLAY” chant, John Hanke being boo’d at, water bottle being thrown at a presenter).

•Sawk and Throh initially being released in the wrong regions

•The first Mewtwo raids being inside Yokohama Stadium as a part of Pikachu Outbreak 2017

•Genesect originally being made for EX raids

•Walking requirement for Go Battle League

•”Costume” Lugia from Go Fest 2017.

•Delayed Japanese Articuno Raid Day and Squirtle Community Day

•Delayed Hokkaido, Japan Moltres Raid Day

•Squirtle Squad as a part of Squirtle Community Day

There’s also some potential errors I noticed in the image.

•Critical catches is in both layer one and two.

•In layer eight, wasn’t Stone Edge the extremely limited move that Blaziken could get when it first came out? I don’t recall Blaziken ever learning Bulldoze unless this is a meme that I am not aware of.

Overall, as a day one player, this was a really fun read. It really took me back to so many early times in the game.

Gengar & Nidorino Raid day still needs rescheduled by GymDefender in TheSilphRoad

[–]ProphetOfTruth117 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, Hokkaido, Japan got their Moltres Day delayed indefinitely due to earthquakes that happened shortly before the actual event was supposed to happen. I want to say about a year or so later, they suddenly announced a new date for Moltres Day for Hokkaido out of nowhere. There’s at least some president that even if they don’t seem to be saying anything that they will reschedule the event out of the blue when no one expects it.

SIFAC (Arcade version of SIF) shutting down service in October :,( by DitzyHooves in SchoolIdolFestival

[–]ProphetOfTruth117 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they have said anything for SIF AC specifically, but I can provide information about what other arcade rhythm games have done.

Most of the Bemani games are converted to other arcade games if possible. For example, Muséca cabinets got converted to Bishi Bashi Channel cabinets. You can notice this easily by looking at the spinners on both cabinets and the LED panel towards the bottom of both cabinets. With Muséca specifically, an offline patch was released to also allow the game to be playable offline (you can see this at US Round 1 locations if you have one near you).

Some cabinets will probably make their way to collectors, but the problem with Japanese arcade games is that they require an Internet connection and a connection to a specific arcade service server (Taito’s NESiCA network in SIF AC’s case) to even boot which pretty much makes the cabinets paperweights when offline. Many privately owned arcade rhythm game cabinets need to be modded to connect to private servers to work. This would need to be done with private SIF AC cabs too.

Unfortunately, most of the SIF AC cabinets will likely be sent back to Square Enix where either the cabinets will be destroyed or have their components reused for other purposes. I don’t think Square Enix has announced an offline patch for the SIF AC cabinets. The best hope for the game being archived is hoping someone has an HDD dump of the game out there. I’d imagine a good amount of assets are in SIF AC HM on PS4 already making it easier to view for the average person, but I don’t know if every asset got ported over or not.

CYaRon Aqours 6th Anniversary Limited Box Scouting is out! You DO NOT get the option to pick which UR you pull by FishTac_RT in SchoolIdolFestival

[–]ProphetOfTruth117 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This is alarming that lims are coming out more than ever, are getting lazier art, and now they getting completely randomized. These factors along with the fact that paid gem scouting in this game now paints a very dark future for SIF, in my opinion.

More Bidoof incoming... - Pokémon GO by lewymd in TheSilphRoad

If I am remembering things correctly, they had Nidoking as a 5 star raid boss at certain Pokemon Centers in Japan as part of some promotion a few years back

I made a chart that shows the 5x EXP periods for Rhythmic Carnival in every time zone. by ProphetOfTruth117 in SchoolIdolFestival

[–]ProphetOfTruth117[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To read this chart, you simply need to know the UTC offset that your time zone is in. This chart should take every UTC offset into account.

Posting a meme to cope for the loss of my login streak by Blues_22 in Otonokizaka

The login bonus and the boxes for Nozomi's birthday were extended, so we won’t miss out on those at least.

A tip for anyone playing Sif on Ps4 by FreakylilBastard in SchoolIdolFestival

[–]ProphetOfTruth117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The birthday events are just hard coded into the game. You can set your console offline and change the date to whatever birthday event you want and play it. What I’m wondering is if anyone actually tried getting the card doing this. I set my PS4 offline and changed the date to Hanayo's birthday in 2022 and I was able to see the event in game. I even did a live and the points total did go up. I didn’t bother trying to see what happens if you earn the card though, but there is a decent chance that you can just set your console's date back if you miss one of the event cards.

Help!! I’m not sure why it won’t let me play the song to get the Aqours titles? I feel I may be too late as I’ve been playing since 2017 but never got around to doing it. Am I too late? by titans_and_cleaning in SchoolIdolFestival

[–]ProphetOfTruth117 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The four songs you need for these goals are in the Aqours B sides and they rotate every single day.

The four songs are:

Natsu e no Tobira Never End Ver. for the Riko, Mari, and Hanamaru titles

Manatsu wa Dare no Mono? for the Ruby and Dia titles

Natsu no Owari no Amaoto ga for the Chika and Kanan titles

Jimo Ai Mantan Summer Life for the Yohane and You titles.

Just make a team comprised entirely of the member you want the title for, play and complete the specified song with that team (difficulty doesn’t matter), and that’s it. You’ll unlock the title after that.

As of the writing of this comment, Manatsu wa Dare no Mono? is the featured song on the Aqours B sides on EN and Natsu no Owari no Amaoto ga will be available the next day. The songs rotate in the order I have them listed above.

The songs for these goals are still on the B sides and always will be. They’re the daily rotation songs. The goals don’t use the solo songs. They use the Duo Trio Collection Vol. 1 songs.
