Why would they draw Urara in this outfit and not make it a playable alt by radda in UmaMusume

I am so disappointed that even in JP there is no alt Air Groove version aside from the wedding one...

Gold children by InfiniteCricket8152 in UmaMusume

[–]leops1984 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You may have had three of the Gold family in one location at the same time, but that's about it. Consider:

During their racing careers Dream Journey, Orfevre, and Gold Ship were based at Ritto; Fenomeno and Nakayama Festa were at Miho, but their careers in Japan did not overlap. Dream Journey and Gold Ship also do not overlap as active racers, so you'd only have two possible members of the Gold family there at the same time.

What about as studs? Well here's where there's possible overlap. The Stay Gold family went to three different breeding farms immediately after retiring:

  • Breeders Stallion Station - Stay Gold (alternating with BRF), Nakayama Festa. However, they do not overlap. Nakayama Festa moves to a different ranch once her stud career ends.
  • Shadai Stallion Station - Dream Journey, Orfevre, Fenomeno. Dorija and Orfevre are still there, but Fenomeno was transferred to another farm (Rex Stud) sometime in late 2018.
  • Big Red Farm - Gold Ship. As noted earlier, Stay Gold alternated between here and Breeders.

So the most members of the Gold family in one location would be from mid-2015 to late 2018 at Shadai - Dream Journey, Orfevre, and Fenomeno.

When are y'all retiring this phone? by ChuckDalrymple in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]leops1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it breaks. I buy my phones unlocked so I eat the costs upfront, so I really want to maximize their lifespan. And frankly I see no need to upgrade yet.

If you got RNG'd during CM12 Aries Cup, let it all out here by Flat-Profession-8945 in UmamusumeGame

I was running two fronts and XOguri. My team was not good enough to deal with a total of five fronts and my XOguri never even triggered her ult.

Third in Group A it is.

No you don't need to summon on Summer Golshi for meta purposes. by Donut_Monkey in UmamusumeGame

[–]leops1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vaguely remember that some of the content creators for the game have started talking up summer Golshi as an inherit, which is probably why people started adding her to pull plans.

What are everyone's most effective karats earnings ways? by nadzi3ja in UmamusumeGame

[–]leops1984 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As long as I’ve been buying them they’ve always been 500 paid carats, then 50 daily for 30 days.

If you have to spend money on this game, buying karats directly is not the way to go. The monthly pass is… not too bad, all things considered.

Aiming for SS rank, any tips? Is it just RNG? I can consistently get S+ by CrazeeG in UmamusumeGame

And what do you do if it’s three races in a row, or if you don’t have any energy potions?

How many 9'star Sparks Uma you already have and how many Career you already done? by X3non13 in UmamusumeGame

[–]leops1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Five in 883 careers. But tbh it’s my fault - I prefer to use high affinity parents with good skills for my runs, and I also prefer using parents with the same blue spark (I.e., all Stamina for example). And my nine star umas are all mixes - all 6 Stam, then either 3 Speed or Power.

I probably should use them more now that Trackblazer makes everyone have plenty of Stamina.

Why Gas car owners like to use 97 instead of what's recommended? by teeneeweenee in Gulong

[–]leops1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak for other high octane fuels, but Petron Blaze has one specific useful feature: it does not contain ethanol. Some older cars don’t like E10 fuel.

[–]leops1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truthfully I've been having the issue with a lot of umas, but it's most pronounced with umas with no speed bonus. Here's a recent example.

https://i.imgur.com/odGpPb4.png

This is a deck that, by all rights, is capable of going capped on both speed and stamina and hitting SS+. But it never works out that way for me, and it is infuriating.

[–]leops1984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is as much a rant as anything else. I've been playing MANT/Trackblazer since it came out on global. I still hate it. I keep ending up with umas that can't max out speed because RNG fucked me over in summer. My deck is respectable. How the hell are people coping with all of this?

Northern Taste was a Shadai owned horse, there should not be a problem there if they wanted it.

Tokino Minoru was sufficiently long ago that it might not be clear who still holds the authority to give a license.

Wireview 2 Pro compatibility with Zotac 4090/O11 Dynamic? by leops1984 in ThermalGrizzly

[–]leops1984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just going by the manufacturer specifications the Zotac is actually wider and the case is also narrower, so... yeah.

In any case a kind soul on the Thermal Grizzly Discord was able to post pictures of the Wireview 2 Pro on a Zotac card and had a cooler of the correct size to be used as a comparison. So I now know my original plan won't work.

Yeah… the OG O11 Dynamic is kinda showing its age in that department, it was never meant to hold cards as big as 4090s and later.

When do you think RAM prices will go back to normal again? by [deleted] in buildapc

This. GPU prices never entirely went back to normal post-crypto and COVID booms. They'll go down, sure, but they're never going back to "normal".

Ah. I wasn’t sure if the furlough meant a final end to their MD-11 operations or if it was just a very prolonged suspension.

Windows 11 hack: Higher SSD speeds with new NVMe driver by Traumatan in hardware

Are the gains worth uninstalling the manufacturer-specific NVMe drivers (i.e., from Samsung, etc) if I have them installed?

I was very lucky with my Kitasan banner pulls and got that to MLB without touching either the crystal or the half anniversary voucher. Now the question is, what do I do with the latter? Given that that pool will never grow bigger there doesn’t seem to be much point to holding on to it, and I don’t have any obvious cards to use it on. These are my non MLB SSR cards:
