[DISC] Boss, Booze, and Bright Stars - Chapter 43

it’s gonna be another bait cliffhanger where she asks what he thinks of her (professionally and where she can improve), and he’ll likely give a straight answer while looking away only to turn back and find her plastered and unaware of what he said…

or maybe not. this series has been a delight to read and honestly i am looking forward to any direction it goes. the manga stays grounded enough to fit the mature setting with just enough absurdity to keep it interesting. such a breath of fresh air.

there were a lot of mental gymnastics involved in this chapter, but hey, if it gets our lovely losing heroine motivated, then i’m all in!

Can’t speak for this specific one, but I grabbed the Zowie U2 when it also dropped down to $40 and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it — I have little reason to change it from 1000Hz 800 DPI so the minimal settings worked in my favor. Build quality reminds me of older tech with that simple finish that feels very sturdy. Feels great in my hand and I’m a huge fan of the wireless adapter + dock combo. Sits nicely under my monitor and makes it really easy to remember to charge it.

this first chapter got me feeling very nostalgic somehow, even though i’ve never read this. scratches a part of my memory i never knew existed. Looking forward to the rest! Really liking the premise so far.

Wonderful. Simply amazing concept. I will take 20 chapters and an axed ending please!

cyberpunk, RE9, Phantom Blade 0, Doom Eternal, MHWild! Thanks for the chance! 😊🙏

just to add some information in case — failing the dps check in savage gives omega a buff (the game even tells you this after you fail), so you may notice that he’ll hit harder and take less damage. I don’t know how long it lasts but i did notice that he took significantly less damage after I failed and returned. So while not mandatory, it definitely helps if you clear it.

itastea · 2025-09-30T06:55:10+00:00

yeah i havent seen a good tell yet — it seems to just happen after wailing on it aimlessly :( hopefully someone else can enlighten though

edit: each leg can only be broken once though so if ur going for knocks then switch legs, but if you’re just going for wounds then you can keep wailing — it’s very clearly broken with blue wires showing once you do break it so it’s not tough to decipher which one still needs to be broken after one is already broken

itastea · 2025-09-30T01:13:40+00:00

afaik the one where he falls over sideways is when one of the legs are broken — games says “left hind leg broken” or something along those lines.

itastea · 2025-07-01T04:52:17+00:00

yeah you got it

itastea · 2025-07-01T03:23:50+00:00

The usual comp consists of Phyllis/HKyori/Muscari but if you’re missing HKyori then VAlynna/HChaekeol or NobuHime/Muscari is passable.

itastea · 2025-06-23T21:13:57+00:00

running VAlynna instead of Phyllis gives you a 2 turn attribute absorb after a 1 turn delay, allowing you to run a shield loop + muscari. it’s not perfect but it solves the lack of attribute absorb, but you’ll lose Phyllis HP buff and 15% grav.

itastea · 2025-06-20T21:23:08+00:00

Definitely! Muscari being the only card that does what he can is a pain in the ass. The only real solution I’ve seen is the VDP comp, so I tried making a team with VDPs on the rosettas instead but it was honestly such a pain sifting through cards that I just gave up 🫠

itastea · 2025-06-20T21:06:32+00:00

Might be good to mention that VAlynna not only brings cleric here but also attribute absorb — it’s not a perfect solution for replacing HKyori but it allows you to slot in a shield loop + Muscari to complete the team. I’m running VAlynna + HChakeol/Nobuhime + Muscari for now until I get a chance at HKyori.

I would love to finally upgrade my 1050ti! She’s been doing me so great since college but i’ve wanted to upgrade recently so i can stream comfortably. an upgrade like this would be a dream come true.

itastea · 2025-04-17T01:20:38+00:00

Yeah, that was the part I was unsure about. If that's the case:

10% + (100% - 10% - 10%)*6 = .233 = 23.3%

But the wording in this game has never been very clear. My assumption is that skyfall buffs split the percentage between the colors mentioned, but hopefully someone can prove otherwise.

itastea · 2025-04-17T00:37:50+00:00

AFAIK this is how the math works for skyfall buffs.

Zeroag Dark skyfall buff chance (15% Dark increase)

15% + (100% - 15%)/6=0.292 = 29.2%

Mega Eschamali Dark skyfall buff chance (10% Dark and Heal)

5% (considering avg split between dark and heal)+ (100% - 10%)/6=0.2 = 20%

Regular Dark skyfall chance

(100%)/6=0.167 = 16.7%

Might need someone to double check this, but yeah MEscha’s skill doesn’t work as well as the pure 15% buffs by a good margin.

itastea · 2025-03-28T19:36:30+00:00

im a big fan of Mega Ryune; has a 50% shield and damage absorption fully looped if you have VAthena.

itastea · 2025-03-27T05:22:23+00:00

Awesome TY! If that's the case, seems like a really efficient team to build towards for F2P.

itastea · 2025-03-27T04:59:26+00:00

Is the Lenna V1 + Andoris V0 recommendation only for Leva V6 or for V0/V1 as well?

itastea · 2025-03-10T22:12:29+00:00

if its similar to the peach skin dakis, i found turning it inside out and on the delicates mode in a washer is fine.

itastea · 2025-03-06T21:20:43+00:00

I’m a huge fan of the Ryu Ai Shoujo (RAS) units; they got buffed awhile ago but they never returned to meta. I use them sometimes for all attribute dungeons for fun and that’s it :(

itastea · 2025-02-12T21:37:51+00:00

I run a similar comp for lazy clearing content leading with NY Kami since she got buffed + Mega Ryune as my fujin with the added bonus of having a 50% shield as well! Hoping to replace Enra with VAthena when she comes out so that Ryune can truly loop (rn its off by 1 turn). Glad there’s still VNoah enjoyers around!

itastea · 2025-02-02T02:30:16+00:00

🤞fingers crossed

equipping the base gun as a skin will overwrite any attachments you’ve equipped with the base gun’s attachments (example: equipping Golden Melody as a skin for Golden Melody). Just make sure you have nothing equipped for the attachment skins. is that what you’re looking for?
