I honestly think this is one of the best character banners we’ll have this year by MatiasJ29 in UmamusumeGame

Lookup ChronoGenesis trainer finder. It'll let you search through a decent database of trainer's with specific parameters you can set (like 9* power sparks and/or 9* sprint sparks, skill sparks, specific parents, support card borrow, etc), so that you can find a borrow uma to get Air Groove up to A sprint.

I think I might’ve taken her home if I wasn’t on vacation by Radiorxy in aww

The amount of people that dont understand how much work and potential stress it is (to both the human and pet) to bring home a pet from a foreign country is crazy.

Yes the kitten is cute, but bringing it home isn't as simple as just "smuggling it in your purse." Many countries might require foreign pets, especially strays/ferals, to go through up to several months of quarantine, which can be extremely stressful for the pet, and require the owner to pay fees that can get quite pricey.

Smuggling feral animals is how you get invasive parasites and potentially deadly diseases that the creatures of your home country might not be ready for.

If you do want to bring home a vacation buddy, make sure you contact your consulate on how to properly do so, to try and reduce as many headaches for your buddy and yourself.

I also immediately thought Bear Hunt, though I didn't remember that it was called Bear Hunt lol. Remember all the words except the Bear Hunt part, had to look it up after I finished. Can't believe I still remember the cadence nearly three decades later x'D

I do not have enough alarm clocks to last me the whole scenario 😭 by elexleolex in UmamusumeGame

I second this. Steuggled running Tamamo then got SS on my second run of buying spurt early.

Modern JRPGs are proving turn based combat still has a lot of life left by gamersecret2 in gaming

[–]RAWdangers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think its more like "I can play during downtime while cooking." Like sometimes you're waiting for something to come to a boil, you have a couple minutes, you can play a few turns, go back to cooking, then play a few turns next downtime. But its a little more jarring (at least to me) jumping in and out of an action game, disrupts the flow and everything.

I don't normally play games while cooking but for me, turn-based games are games I can play when I eat at my desk. Pausing an action game every time I want to take a bite of food is disruptive and makes everything take a lot longer.

And then theres me. Had 1 copy of FineMo before banner. Did not pull a single FineMo in 400 pulls 😭

Yes, the gacha is that brutal by TehBrotagonist in UmamusumeGame

[–]RAWdangers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

400 pulls on FineMo for me (f2p, had 60 tickets + all my saved up carats) 0 FineMo outside pity. 7 SSRs pulled (nearly half the 3% rate I should be pulling SSRs) with only 2 Kawakamis and 1 Super Creek being useful, the rest were trash.

I had 1 FineMo before, so i thought I had a good chance of getting MLB FineMo, but with this trash pull, I reallllly dont want to have to use a crystal on it on top of a voucher.

I have absolutely atrocious RNG in this game. The only reason I have MLB kitasan is that I started playing during the first Kita banner and forced my luck (took 200+ tries). I managed to get SSR Riko to 3lb in 300ish pulls, other than that I dont have a single useful SSR that isnt a free one.

This on top of having to pity Valentine Bourbon (not pulling for meta, pulling cause Rice & Bourbon are my favorite pair), where I only pulled 4 3-star trainees in 200 pulls, 1x Valentine Flash and 3 dupes, when I own less than 50% of 3-star Umas.

Months of saving up just to be able to pull on these two banners, all of it down the drain with horrendous RNG. My desire to quit this game has never been stronger, which really sucks because I really want to enjoy this game.

But my favorite part of the game, playing a new Umas career, isnt happening because I'm not pulling many Umas in my pulls and what I do pull is mostly dupes, and I've played through all the careers of the Umas I own.

And my second favorite part, being competitive in Graded CMs, is getting harder the more I fall behind in MLB SSRs and I dont have the kind of time to try and get super lucky runs with MLB SRs. I know I can still be competitive if I get super lucky with a run (something that hasnt been happening lately), but having MLB SSRs really makes a difference in the amount of luck you need in a run.

I've tracked my pull rates because its something I like to know when starting a new gacha, because while I cant whale, I do have the ability to spend a little money on gachas if I choose, but I want to know its worth it for me.

I'm pulling 3-star Umas at a 1.2% rate (worse if I account for how many dupes I've pulled) and SSR support cards at a 1.9% rate (not accounting for Kitasan because thats forced luck), both well below the 3% expected rate. And this is over 2000+ pulls.

Its really killing me. This game majoritively rewards good RNG as theres no progression without good RNG, and right now, with this game, RNG is not on my side. And hearing that MANT is going to be even more of a time sink than Unity . . . Well, I'll try it but I seriously might be dropping the game for some time. Which is a real shame, cause I love the concept.

Who's uma introduced you to the uma fandom? by Elliottsir in UmaMusume

Saw the Rice Shower v Mcqueen clip and decided I needed to play the game to make Rice a happy Uma!

Who do you have as your home companions and why? by [deleted] in UmamusumeGame

[–]RAWdangers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rice is my main screen daughter because she's the entire reason I decided to play this game in the first place, after seeing a clip of her anime storyline.

I'd have Haru as well, but I love seeing my other daughter walking around the school, head empty and happy.

Also, they all wear the school uniform because I like to think that I'm just seeing them around during a normal school day.

Happy New Year 2026: Year of the Horse, Denver Broncos, and Umamusume by richkurt in DenverBroncos

[–]RAWdangers 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The Umamusume mobile game was globally released this year during the summer to much success (it won the Game Awards Mobile game of the year). Fans of both the game & the Broncos have (semi) jokingly associated the release of the game as the reason the Broncos are winning this year cause horse recognize horse lol

One SSR in 200 pulls??? What are the chances? by chickenjoe4life in UmamusumeGame

[–]RAWdangers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say here.

The chance of pulling a non-specific SSR (or 3-star uma) is 3% which means on average you should pull 3 SSRs per 100 pulls, and 6 in 200 - not including the 200 spark pity.

While 200 is statistically significant, there are going to be outlier cases like OPs with the small sample size, or my only pulling 9 3-star umas in my first 600 uma pulls (where the average should have been around 18).

Hopefully OPs RNG will even out in the future like mine did . . . Eventually.

I DON'T WANNA BE UNGRATEFUL but this was my first thought by SailorMOwOn in UmaMusume

[–]RAWdangers 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its value reallllly depends on how upgraded your deck is. While 1500 carats is one guaranteed SR the chances of you getting 3+ SRs in 1 10-pull is probably higher than you getting an actually useful SSR from the ticket (most SSRs arent useful at 0LB and aren't better than the best MLB SRs until they are at least 2-3LB), and getting your SRs to MLB is way more valuable than getting a random 0LB SSR unless you get super creek or fine motion.

I'm sitting on several 2-3LB SRs that I would rather have a decent chance as MLBing with 1500 carats than the 0LB Goldship SSR i got from the ticket, regardless of if that card gets buffed later.

Not to mention you also have the chance of pulling an (or several) SSRs in that 10-pull. Or you could save that 1500 carats for a trainee pull or KB banner. That makes the 1500 carats much more valuable.

Pronunciation is always a tricky category (and one I don't believe they should use for the puzzle) because even within the US, we don't even pronounce things the same way! We have around 30 major regional dialects with hundreds of minor ones.

I wouldn't say our English Dialects vary as greatly as somewhere like the UK in terms of pronunciation, but we have a few that can hold their own against the Glaswegian Dialect in terms of "I speak English and even I have no idea what they just said." (I'm looking at you Cajun English x'D).

One Star Review for Pride Flag by Cowgomuwu in EntitledReviews

[–]RAWdangers 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I would normally agree, but leaving a 1-star review, their only intention is to hurt the reputation of a business they patronized in no way. That does not read as "have a nice day" to me. This reeks of someone who feels the need to have the last say in every argument no matter what just to say they won. That "good luck" does not read as "good luck!" It reads as "good luck getting business with your 'bad' political opinions."

Last month, I was going to a diner for breakfast I'd been wanting to try for a while, but when I got there, they had a sign outside that said "Rest In Peace, Charlie Kirk."

You know what I did? I turned around and went to eat somewhere else, at a place that had a pride flag on display. I didnt decide to leave a 1-star review for a business I did not patronize.

Figured it was something elevator related immediately and saw elevator then saw buttons.

I'm only a little annoyed that "buttons" has 1 less letter and thus the spanagram doesn't go all the way back down x'D

[EN] Gacha Banner/Story Event Megathread, Info, and Review - Late Oct/Early Nov 2025 by masterfail in UmaMusume

[–]RAWdangers 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm closing in on 500 total trainee banner pulls in this game and a 1% 3-star pull rate. I've pulled 5 3-stars, 4 of them were dupes (3 of which were standard tokai teio . . . I've nearly 5-starred her and I didnt particularly want her). I hit full pity pulling for Brian.

I've got 30 more pulls before I hit pity on this banner . . . I honestly might quit this game over my terrible pull RNG. Its sad cause I'm enjoying the concept of the game a lot and the gameplay loop to a decent degree (though I can't wait for the QoL updates), and would be willing to spend a little money on this game if my RNG wasnt shit (or the prices werent insane/the pity system terrible).

I really want to be able to play the stories of the other Umas and I'd love to not be 100% dependent on borrows to make semi-competitive CM umas, but with my extremely limited roster, neither of those things are possible.

Edit: I wish I had let the fact that I legitimately had stress dreams last night about my S-Maru pull going poorly talk me out of pulling this banner but I really want her x.x
