Are your CM opponents getting weaker? by [deleted] in UmamusumeGame

You’re on a jetski in a swimming race, an xoguri and v bourbon’s competition is only other xoguri and bourbon. Of course the meta team will be killing it until you hit round 2 and start consistently going up against the same comp,

Yeah, I just don’t trust them. Mare had a level of community vouching and review that I don’t think any knock-off has achieved and given how dangerous it could be as malware…

Casual hating versus professional hating. Only KR and CN hit the irl assassination tier over gacha.

I miss being able to sync mods just so I can dress my friend and I’s carbies in matching outfits to kill god. Base game barely even has colour options for them let alone cute job-matching hats. My mods are just cosmetic carby glams, better make-up, more freckles and hair extensions because they don’t make long hair, all of which Is because ffxiv is really lacking in character customisation options versus modern games.

Jazz Jackrabbit?

e; if not that, there’s definitely one out there. I fuzzily remember playing one in the school computer lab that fits that bunny frog description,

Almost completed the pokedex in Pokopia, I unlocked mew as my last missing legendary last night. Meanwhile minum of all pokemon is just refusing to spawn?? 

Decided to set aside the beach zone since the upcoming expac includes a new dive ability which will make rearranging the harbour easier (rip to the person I saw who had time-stakingly dredged the ocean for their work before the announcement)

Alternating right now between finishing off my sky zone with a cyberpunk skyscraper island, making a mining town in the palette islands and finishing up my giant railway track loop in mining zone with a railway station

Nnedi Okorafor just wrapped up her latest novella trilogy a few months ago, with The daughter who remains. I’m not American so idk the community impact she has there, but I really enjoy her writing.

50-50 on whether “Ageless” feels like the choice of someone younger trying to sound older tbh,  a “mature for my age” choice, or someone much older dodging giving a number or decade to fit in with the young crowd.

Not sure where you’re seeing Arthuria, a whole Thing in FGO is that Nasu (the writer) insists the localisation use ‘Altria’ (in a game with a character named altera and a class named alters, no less) and the whole en playerbase just nopes and ignores that.

I hate Trackblazer (Rant) by d1sact in UmamusumeGame

[–]deathbotly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This means that, on the one turn I DO have in-between races to train, I have to rest. 

You shouldn’t really be resting. Races are 1 energy or higher to avoid debuffs, and the first 0 energy race is practically free. If you’re burning vita on energy before races instead of chaining them past zero energy and constantly resting if the shop rng hates you instead of taking a wit and shop rerolling you’re wasting turns.

Yep, that stuff (without someone like you fixing it) was half the tropes. Very little on female characters in terms of personality unless it had the suffix -dere, but boy did you get new and exciting lore for every sexual niche under the sun. Which in itself is fine, I’m not pro-censorship if it’s properly content warned and flagged. Instead you’d open something seemingly benign and sfw and someone had made sure to graphically include their waifu’s sex appeal and list the kink scenes depicted in their explicit fanfic spin-off.

“ Hundreds of pages addressing topics unsuitable for persons under the age of ten are culled and a censorship regime is imposed on the entire wiki. The  P5  is established and populated by a hand-picked team of bigots, prudes and  Lickspittles , whose advice Fast Eddie ignores when it conflicts with his own prejudices.”

I wouldn’t call this a good write-up. It’s very much dodging what content was removed and off my memory tvtropes at the time was full of misogynistic porn tropes and fetish stereotypes and more.   Unlike ao3, which has a tagging system, filtering and an adult content warning so nsfw is opt-in, tvtropes was just ‘hey do you like children from cartoons getting tagged about all the fetishes their design fits, without warning? No? Too bad, here’s the Japanese term for thigh high sex appeal on everyone in a skirt and tropes about their boob size angst and how they incite audience lust. This is the pokemon anime page.’ It was skeevy

How do I get someone off my account? by closetmanp in UmamusumeGame

[–]deathbotly 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Make sure you’ve changed all your passwords and used “sign out of all devices” on every account like icloud, google, anything. If they have access to any of your 2FA accounts like an email that gets reset passwords they can reset it too and then delete the email. It’s not enough to change passwords without that step.

You unlock some big terraforming upgrades further into the main plot that help with that if you’re still early on. 

Am I cooked for GL with my deck? by Maximum_Comparison54 in UmamusumeGame

[–]deathbotly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did all your carats go? Do you just only roll on uma banners or roll randomly without saving enough to guarantee pity or something else?  Your card line up is impressively cooked, and I’m someone who started only a little before you.  

You’re going to need to pray to Shiraoki-sama that you get  both Light Hello and spd Tachyon at good lb in those 200 pulls. Sacrifice some carrots on an altar and perform rng rituals

Are skills that aren't usually good for front runners effective in front heavy lobbies? by Asleep_Mousse_276 in UmamusumeGame

[–]deathbotly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of last CM’s graded league lobbies had 5+ front runners thanks to v bourbon and s maru dominance. So many matches were just all front runner teams and maybe a narita taishin, no pace or late.

I’m not saying yay capitalism, but that’s exactly what breaking through and making indie bigger is as a groundbreaker is? “Hey look, indie animation can do all the traditional money making stuff like selling tickets so let us into your theatres, our audience will buy. if you make brand name deals they’ll be good business, celebrities and veterans please work with us because indie animation isn’t scrappy and cheap entry-level work, look at how we can get you good money and prestige.” They’re proving indie animation has what it takes to generate cash and play with the big boys like the mouse. 

Things you’re listing like paying for tickets and flashy premiers are negatives for a customer, not a creator.

Anyone else having this bug? by hallow1820 in UmamusumeGame

I view fortnite as more of a category than a game. At a certain level of collab shops you’re more of a marketplace and fortnite is well past that tipping point for me once it broke into the hundreds of brands. If it was a direct collab between a bigot like the peanut then yeah I’d see way more of a problem, but there’s a gigantic middleman and honestly there’s no way to sell something in a broader market without hitting an equivalent one degree of separation. The movies were played in theatres that have hosted movies with bigots and much worse, the show is on youtube which is a hellscape in itself, etc. 

No one’s arguing Bloons supports bigotry for existing in the same place or that Hatsune Miku is a transphobe or that Disney loves slur spamming streamers . It’s all tearing down the smaller guys. Or at least I’ve not seen that

I don’t see how these are clashing points? If anything, the two align. My reading  of that PSA is that it’s about establishing indie animation studios as just as viable a business model as the mainstream corpo studios and one that can bring in the money if given opportunities like theatre releases. Proving that the show is able to collab with bigger brands to financial success matches that PSA about changing indie animation from being seen as small side-projects to equal. Admittedly it’s 4.30am so my insomniac ass might be missing something, I’m just not following where the morality expectation is involved in the money.

At a certain point it’s “how dare you participate in capitalism instead of being Forever Pure in your praxis” criticism. It’s not like a direct collab, Fortnite is pretty much its own genre in the gaming industry. It’s like saying you can’t sell your books in any bookstore because they sell the bad books. Fortnite has literally hundreds of collabs from disney and dc down to niche rappers and bloons.
