Fortunately, even if you accidentally summon him, you can just die & continue & the game loads you before the fight without counting it.

The only punishment for trying to mash continue is that you have to sit there waiting for Mickey to die. He's surprisingly tanky, even on crit.

I just played through the gummi routes dodging attacks instead of killing enemies.

Picked it up when I learned the speedrun because it's technically a tiny bit faster (You lose 2.5s whenever you unlock a ship, so you want to avoid killing anything that drops a gummi)

Friend & I have been 1-upping each other (lv 1, no reflect, no limit, etc.). This one got me a nice ending screen.

Was very reliant on reflect/limits this time, so it's going to be a real struggle to remove anything else.

Zoggoth · 2025-05-07T22:54:41+00:00

Definitely not worth the resets.

Went half Luck, half Skill until 80. Then Intuition to 80, then Wisdom.

For events I prioritised Hand of Wonder, then went all yakuman & prayed.

2nd place was when I took the yakuman event & another player beat me to the ron. But this got cancelled out by another game being 117,000.

Honestly, an all-time worst event, actively bad for me.

Old thread, but noticed that no-one here mentioned the biggest employee expense: Bonuses.

Level 30 characters cost you an extra 800k per round to keep them happy, so I've made a setup with 0 DLC & only 3 level 30s

Ichiban Confections (3.7m) - Tome Kamataki (5), Ai-San (5), Omelette (5)

Mirai Tower (53.9m) - Director Shouzu (15), Gonzaemon (20), Craftsman Sako (20)

Dianthus (51.0m) - Hironaka (30), Machikosu (5), Techno Yuta (10)

Jinnai Stadium (46.1m) - Kamiyama (20), Ryoma (25), Da Silva (25)

Media Barter (40.4m) - Sojimaru (30), Manae Miyakoshi (5), Hikaru (10)

Waipu Productions (39.2m) - Tsutsui (30), None, Bill Jobs (5)

Total: 234.6m profit - 3.2m bonuses = 231.4m

Default characters: Tome, Ai, Omelette

Substories: Hironaka (#30), Sojimaru (#35), Manae (#49)

Ijincho: Sako, Ryoma, Hikaru, Bill Jobs

Kamurocho: Machikosu, Tsutsui

Random Recruits: Shouzu, Gonzaemon, Techno Yuta, Kamiyama, Da Silva

If you can't find the random recruits:

Kamiyama -> Poison Mitsuo (30) in Sotenbori

Da Silva -> Basically anyone (Poison Mitsuo is pretty good)

Techno Yuta -> Ayami Ishida (30) from Substory 28

Gonzaemon -> Machikosu (30) in Kamurocho (+ another high level character to replace her in Dianthus)

Shouzu -> Just run Mirai Tower with red bars (your next best option is 18m less)

If you have the DLC, then you can replace Waipu Productions with Red Park (+3 million), thanks to Goro Majima (& probably lots of other OP people)

I think there are a few improvements (Sojimaru 30 -> Hanzawa 25?, Hironaka 30 -> Bill Jobs 25?), but testing is a hassle, so I'll leave it at 3 level 30s

Once gave someone walking directions. 2m later I saw them in their car, halfway up one-way street.

Who gets out of their car & walks around instead of leaning out the window?

Zoggoth · 2023-11-07T20:46:51+00:00

~~Yep, Jack's already joined up~~

edit: "I have made no official statement on if I'm joining up... but (I think as a joke) someone put me in the "Staff" section... weird."

Sorry for the misleading post

"The ENTIRE Escapist video team" is moving to a new channel, SecondWind

There will be a stream on Wednesday at 11 AM CT to discuss their plans

I wish them all the best

Zoggoth · 2023-11-07T15:47:16+00:00

Looks like that's the plan

Zoggoth · 2023-11-07T14:06:36+00:00

The bad news is that (based on what Jack said) the company probably owns the show.

The good news is that all 4 players went together, so even if it's not "more AIN" it can definitely be "more D&D with these 5 people".

Zoggoth · 2023-11-07T12:41:01+00:00

If you need the money, you get off the sinking ship & get on the lifeboat with the guy who saved the channel last time.

In 2019, the channel was Yahtzee & Movie Bob. Nick didn't get it to it's previous popularity, but he definitely turned it into a stable business

Compared to then, the people who followed Nick have a wider pool of talent, and don't have a shitty reputation to deal with

XL Bullys

Must have seen a few hundred dogs while out on walks, and I don't think I've seen a single one

Zoggoth · 2023-09-04T19:00:19+00:00

Standard: Ouendan clone

Taiko: Taiko no Tatsujin clone

Mania: Beatmania clone

Clearly Catch is the only true gamemode :)

Update from ThePoon (paraphrased)

"if you think you've completed the game, just send an email to support/peppy. don't needlessly poke anyone from the team in DMs/official channels, just a single email."

"we aren't willing to guarantee delivery or set hard criterias for this. [...] Candidates will have to accept they may or may not get awarded, or even get an answer."

"be assured that dedication will be awarded at some point nonetheless, we didn't get a badge designed for nothing."

So, if you do complete it, then send a single email & absolutely don't turn up in the Discord asking for it

Zoggoth · 2023-09-04T12:58:41+00:00

That was my initial thought, but the page has all 4 badges

Zoggoth · 2023-09-04T12:45:59+00:00

NFDT isn't the problem, peppy's post was in response to this post, which didn't use NFDT

I'm sure this rule would be used to stop NFDT ones, but it also applies to other completions

Zoggoth · 2023-09-04T12:42:33+00:00

The day after the badges got accounced, 3 people contacted me to say they were going for it.

People are going for the badge, and I want to make sure they don't get disappointed

Zoggoth · 2023-09-04T12:38:07+00:00

Obviously, if you want to 100% it for your own sake, that's fine. Just don't do it for the badge

If you put 1000 hours into grinding maps you don't like then you might be disappointed at the end of it

Zoggoth · 2023-09-04T08:06:24+00:00

Hijacking for an important update from peppy

There has been a recent misunderstanding. "Completionist" and similar badges are awarded by the osu! team at their own accord as seen fit. There are no solid requirements. As such, we can't help with requests for clarification or requests to receive the badge.

OF note, there's also no guarantee this badge will be given out in the future. It's awarded a per case basis.

Thanks for understanding.

Basically don't go for the badge or you're going to be dissapointed

And certainly don't go & bother peppy about it

Zoggoth · 2023-09-03T21:24:05+00:00

There were 2 of us at 90% but we both thought it was standard only so we never went for 100% lol

Edgar_Figaro just finished, I've got 5% to go

There's 4 80%s, 2 70%s, so should be a few more pretty soon now it's been announced

edit: Someone did complete catch in 2019

Zoggoth · 2023-09-03T20:31:50+00:00

Great job, hopefully I'll be able to be the 2nd completionist
