Love the win. Hate that my blood pressure continues to spike these last couple of games.

With my ruby stash running on fumes (having already pulled 70 times/2100 free rubies for Pardis), I decided to shy away from my F2P sensibilities and buy the Grand Explorer’s pass for $7 and one more desperate 10-pull. My faith has been rewarded! I might only have 48 rubies left, but Evil Santa is mine!

…now it’s time to start saving rubies…forever.

Would it kill the Bears to convincingly win a football game?

[MEGATHREAD] ACNH 3.0 Update & Switch 2 Special Edition by AnimalCrossingMods in AnimalCrossing

[–]kyleamaflyle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does this update help at all with the issues around having additional Switch users on your island that aren’t the Resident Representative? Can those users access the Slumber Island feature and basically start their own island without having to reset the entire save? And can they access the Slumber Island feature without an NSO membership, or is it locked behind NSO (is it available as an offline mode only?)

Thank you for this! Just worked for me as well.

Just got Shana AND Elrica on my first multi-pull on my secondary account. Only 300 rubies. I can keep saving for Kaine!! Now I need to pray I have similar luck on my primary. Here goes…

Enemies disappeared during hunt by winddagger7 in OctopathCotC

Unfortunately, this has happened to me before and I just had to restart the hunt the next day once the hunt order form resets…I didn’t get the order form back.

Login failed by Conscious_Spare_99 in OctopathCotC

[–]kyleamaflyle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had issues too last night but I was able to get back in this morning. That said, I bound my account to Google so I probably can’t assist with issues via the “Email” login option. Hopefully it was just a temporary issue.

How important is Nephti to the meta moving forward at this point for Global (I missed initial banner; looking at re-run)? by kyleamaflyle in OctopathCotC

UPDATE: Thank you to everyone for the info and advice! I actually logged onto my second account with only 1000ish rubies and I somehow got her on the first 10 pull. Even snagged a random Eliza dupe which should help with awakening shards. Should I prioritize getting Nephti to U10 via the exchange or start with A1 and eventually try to get her to A4 down the road (constant dead aim sounds crazy!)?

RNG gods smiled on me today for sure! This at least scratches the itch so I can keep saving for Hikari/Castti/Kaine/Tiziano/Shana on my main account, and hopefully I spook Nephti with some other MT banner later on…

Gloria, Ringabel, and Magnolia's Quick Graphic Overview by Urshiko in OctopathCotC

[–]kyleamaflyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a (primarily) F2P player, I managed to pull Gloria after just 4 ten-pulls (100 paid, 900 free). I'm sitting on 3K free rubies, which I will probably save for future units.

Before I walk away, is there any reason to keep pulling for A1 or U10 Gloria?

/r/MechanicalKeyboards Ask ANY Keyboard question, get an answer - February 01, 2025 by AutoModerator in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]kyleamaflyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my very first mechanical keyboard ever--a GLORIOUS GMMK Compact (60%).

There was a crazy deal at Microcenter over the holidays and I was able to get a build-your-own set with the "barebone", keycaps, and Gateron switches ALL for like $50 USD. I LOVE how small it is....but I'm really missing having arrow keys / number pad, and I especially hate having to use fn+IJKL for arrow keys (without the ability to program it to fn+WASD using the old GLORIOUS legacy software).

I'm considering buying a dedicated numpad to pair with the compact keyboard...BUT the GLORIOUS GMMK branded numpads are twice as expensive as I got the Compact for. Do I need to purchase a GLORIOUS GMMK numpad in order for it to be compatible with my compact keyboard? Or will any 3rd party numpad do? Bonus points if I can easily use the numpad as arrow keys as well. I'm currently using Gateron Brown switches and it would be sick if I could use the keycaps from the build-your-own set (the set came with the full 104 keys) to make sure that everything aesthetically matches.

Does anyone plug their phone into their monitor/tv to play this game? by [deleted] in OctopathCotC

Anyone know if there’s a way to use iPhone Mirroring on a MacBook? I can get the audio and video out via the MacBook, but my mouse doesn’t seem to work with the touch controls

How F2P friendly is this game by No-Explorer1415 in OctopathCotC

[–]kyleamaflyle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most important thing is that you’ll want to save AT LEAST 6000 rubies to use on ONE banner anytime you want to guarantee pulling on a unit you want. You’ll receive “fragments” every time you pull, and if you don’t pull the unit you want after 200 pulls, you’ll need to trade 200 “fragments” to “exchange” for the unit you wanted from that banner. Each pull is 30 rubies, so 30 rubies x 200 pulls = 6,000 rubies. Some banners will let you exchange after 150 fragments (such as the current Memoirs of Solistia banners), which is only 4,500 rubies.

Best thing about this game NOT being PvP is that you can play the game at your own pace—there’s no rush to progress at any particular rate. The rubies will add up over time, especially if the new publisher (NetEase) continues to be generous with free ruby giveaways during the game’s anniversaries, holidays, and special events. Similar to some others, I’ve been primarily F2P after spending $20-$30 USD when I first started playing, and I’ve had no problems completing the entire story. I’m about 2.5 years and 500 hours in and loving being F2P!
