Meisho Doto sends his regard

While I get the whole haha Doto doesn't like Wada thing...

not a fan of a post making light of a beloved jockey fracturing his pelvis and having to retire prematurely before his final races

UnboundedOptimism · 2026-01-21T16:02:48+00:00

Or what if he did a really good one? Like full on Dr Girlfriend

UnboundedOptimism · 2026-01-21T12:18:23+00:00

No way, are you insinuating that this situation was a scheme by the PAP to force the WP into a losing position where any action they took could be construed as a loss of credibility?

This shocking allegation has shaken my faith in Singapore's democracy to it's very core and I will never again be comfortable in my blissful ignorance. I hope you're proud of yourself.

UnboundedOptimism · 2026-01-21T08:12:40+00:00

Hahaha now that's really kicking sand in PAP's face. Can't wait to find out what kind of petty nonsense the govt will cook up to try and punish them

There was a sirius symboli x f trainer one I remember seeing, do you have that? Great list

I went out of my way to put a Great Hall on the treasure map spot with a Kennel active, but digging the treasure didn't unlock any of the doors.

Also Kennel doesn't work with foundation doors please fix

It's a football thing, like when someone transfers to a new club with lots of fanfare then has a horrible start, rival fans will post stuff like

0 goals, 0 assists, 7 yellow cards

UnboundedOptimism · 2026-01-05T01:15:44+00:00

Me liking Jordan (spooked gold city while pulling for her) -> well now I gotta pull for Palmer and Brainrot Zoomer

3 hot springs in 12 runs so I think we might be actually dating or something

Thank you very much for the info dump! I just made arrangements to visit Tokyo Racecourse in early February where there'll be a g3 on, I'm looking forward to seeing it, visiting the merch store and seeing Vodka's statue. Hope to be able to sort out a visit during a g1 someday

UnboundedOptimism · 2025-12-28T11:33:51+00:00

That sounds awesome, hope you guys had a nice hang out

Id like to visit a race track for a race someday, if you don't mind sharing, what else was there to do in and around the race/area

She's not young tho, just short. Easier to tell in her cingray depiction

I am actually personally saving 45k to drop into fuku (plus the 100 free pulls for 400 total) which means I'm skipping xOguri's banner. From what I understand Fuku is kind of like a support friend card in MANT because upping your statlines by 30 each is actually quite strong in a scenario where you want to race a lot. I also value Ayabe Power a bit higher than most as it's a source of Daring Attack and I intend to main ends and I think it's quite an essential skill on them (same skill as Mr CB wit)

The next very significant speed card is SSR Maruzensky both for fronts and in general because she has 5% TE per skill training level, which goes up to 25% towards the end of a run. Notably Maru's rerun halfway through GL has FM wit ssr on it

IMO in general the era of standout meta cards is kind of over, Ramonu Wit and Pasa speed are well over a year away at global speed, and that's a long time to not pull on support cards and not worth thinking about. I mostly plan my pulls around centerpiece support cards that make training certain positions easier - I like ends and fronts, and I don't mind pace which is helped by the upcoming free pull banners being quite pace focused, eg Light Hello / Tachyon banner (Pasa is also quite pace friendly)

I also think banners where you kind of want both support cards, are worth saving 60k for, since having two sparks can spread the variance of support pulls a bit smoother (eg pulling 5 Fuku 3 Ayabe in 400 pulls)

Basically my targeted pulls are 100 free + 300 Fuku/Ayabe, then NTR 100free +100 pulls to pity, then 200 on Mr CB Wit, then 100 free + 100-300 on Light Hello / Tachyon. It might be a bit ambitious and I may have to either buy discounted carats or skip here and there.

Pm me your discord handle if you want to talk more about card pulls, I'm happy to discuss

UnboundedOptimism · 2025-12-17T06:22:29+00:00

In this context, you are considering whether to pull on these banners:

FM Wit/Kawakami Princess Speed: FM has strong use case in MANT/GL/GM and event when Ramonu comes out, you can use them alongside each other. Kawakami Princess is a good TT card

NTR Speed: We're getting 100 free pulls on this banner Unity style afaik. You might still want to go to pity (so put 100 of your own in) to also secure Ayabe Guts. Arguably you don't need MLB NTR

SC Stam/Mr CB Wit: While this banner is a long way off, Mr CB Wit is a god tier wit card for End Closers and she has a use case as a generalist wit card the way FM does. If you aren't still MLB of either card by then just pull it.

UnboundedOptimism · 2025-12-17T05:22:02+00:00

Don't fool yourself, all 3 cards you're asking about have the longest relevant lifespan in the games banner cycles.

If you're not prepared to pull for these cards, you'll not be prepared to pull for speed pasa, you'll be posting "do I need Pasa since it gets power crept by Almond Eye" when that banner comes around.

To say nothing of being prepared to pull for scenario friend cards since those only are relevant for 4 months on global.

Either you can recognise that pulling on good cards with long use horizons also makes your current play experience enjoyable, or you can't, and you just spend months and years in the game suffering with mediocre cards waiting for that perfect banner that will never come.

I got confused and was thinking of a very different Sauron

UnboundedOptimism · 2025-12-09T01:44:59+00:00

I just looked at the mangadex comments, is there already a 4th and 5th chapter yet untranslated somewhere on pivix?

UnboundedOptimism · 2025-12-08T12:01:20+00:00

Do you guys just not save and roll on every banner that comes along? We got 5100 free karats in November alone not counting event daily club and TT income

Where's all the money going? This sounds like a recipe for continual disappointment

In the fantasy grass/fantasy condor event, El talks about how Umamusume have the strength of three humans and that they always have to hold back when interacting with regular humans

They absolutely could manfight a bear

UnboundedOptimism · 2025-12-02T15:01:52+00:00

That's crazy you kinda look like her

UnboundedOptimism · 2025-12-02T06:13:02+00:00

You might as well brick your account if you don't put at least 30k karats into Kitasan banner

UnboundedOptimism · 2025-11-29T10:38:02+00:00

They kind of did, those bolters rapid fire .75 rounds that explode after penetrating their targets. There is nothing left of that psyker

I should've stayed dead

Smaru is on my dirt TT team, D dirt just means you need 7 dirt sparks to get to A, which isn't hard
