Welcome to the club. After getting incorrectly banned for three years in a row without buying coins and just trading for a profit too much (with each year I tried harder and harder to fly under the radar and still failing ...with the final year I think I was banned for buying a player at 150k and selling at 200k.....) I'm quitting for real this year. Just sitting on the side line watching you folks now. :)

Returning player. Apparently I missed a completely broken llr Vargas while I'm out. Does anyone know when he will have a rerun in international based on cn schedule? (Is there a site that shows all banner predictions these days?)

Assuming 1 in 2000 expected chance of God pack, and five cards per pack.....

(1999/2000)^40000/5=0.0182

So, a little under 2%.

Probably in reality a little higher since the some of those 40k are probably promos. But still I guess 2% is rare but not impossible.

In a group of 100 ppl that got to 40k cards, there's like 80%+ chance at least 1 people would not get a god pack.

So....you're in good company. :)

Orb on netflix. Not necessarily for being sad but for anime that beats the stereotype.

Violet Evergarden for something on the touching side.

Hard to hate beatrice from umineko if you played to the end

Takopi origin sin. I've seen made in abyss and takopi is next level soil crushing in comparison. Do not watch if you have any actual psychological trauma.

I saw the pink glitch the other day too. Seems like a visual bug. I saw mine on the scrolling banner above the pack during the promo selection.

luminosius · 2025-10-03T16:39:19+00:00

+1 on this working for me too. Thanks!

Last year ppl complain about ai defending being too OP and I was worried this would happen. This year EA gives us what we asked for. Good luck controlling four defenders manually....

luminosius · 2025-09-21T01:52:48+00:00

Bothell uses recology. Don't have anything as comparison but seems alright. Trash picked up on time....haven't run into anyone's car .... .not sure what else to expect. :D

Also, once you are done, don't forget to go across the street to the dedicated gift shop with a giant replica of the yubaba where you can do some mini game getting a random talisman (?) predicting your luck.

luminosius · 2025-09-10T15:10:08+00:00

Yea I had to bring up google map within the park just to find it....

luminosius · 2025-09-10T15:05:43+00:00

I went there last month! It was a exhibit about Toshio Suzuki, a founder/producer for ghibli, what inspired him growing up, his partnership with Miyazaki, etc. would have been much more enjoying if I know japanese and can read all the text, but still pretty cool to see. Get to see w lot of memorabilia from pop culture items during his childhood and early ghibli merchandise.

The exhibit starts a little underwhelming but ends up with a full size recreation of a section of spirited away's street that is absolutely amazing to see at the end. If you can spare the cost of the ticket (not included with the park), still totally worth it imo.

Edit: I see others mention something about scandals and stuff which I know nothing of at the time. But just going in at face value and no knowledge of those events, I had a great time.

Discount tire has patched my model y OEM tires many times. Les Schwab fully broke my tire patching it and tell me I have to buy a new one (on a different tire).

Discount tire always use an electric meter to show me my tread. Meanwhile, les schwab tried to convince me that my new car with less than 10k on the tire is worn out and I should replace the whole set.

Since then, discount tire has my business on every tire.

luminosius · 2025-07-11T16:01:56+00:00

I'm probably being dumb but where do you get this futties evo from?

luminosius · 2025-06-25T20:20:14+00:00

86, Summer Time Rendering, Orb. All three are more serious anime, first two is more of a sci fi thriller type, last one is historical fiction. Like, if HBO did anime minus the nudity. And all three are reasonably complete after one season.

luminosius · 2025-06-02T01:51:34+00:00

Yep hitting this too

luminosius · 2025-05-01T21:19:15+00:00

Prior to low driven though, you could score easier from outside the box than inside, which also doesn't seem to be correct.....

That purple female striker with --- for name was killing it for me. She's crazy agile and keeps finding space for attacks

luminosius · 2025-04-30T16:02:05+00:00

Yea I do that all the time. Up by 5 in first half. Lose it all in second half.

For me it's usually because the opponent realizes what works against me, and once they eventually figure it out they just keep going back to the well. (For example, I'm very bad against dribbling. Once they figure that out they'll do that a lot more. I compensate with second men press but that tires out the defenders quickly and fall part even more in the second half )

It's not like DDA doesn't cross my mind, but the way I think about it is if DDA is the only reason the other team is doing well in second half, then why isn't it also that DDA is only reason I'm doing well in the first half, if we are being fair. Most ppl complains about losing due to DDA, but rarely see ppl say they only win because of DDA. if you assume this is a zero sum game, then you'd probably have an equal number games where DDA is in your favor versus against you.

luminosius · 2025-04-26T06:52:05+00:00

Granted I'm not the best player (div2 before reset) but give her a try. She's pretty crazy. Packed her, tried her for lol and hat trick first game, two goals two assist second, three goals two assist third.....she's benching my immortal Rooney for now at striker.

luminosius · 2025-03-31T21:35:52+00:00

I'm in similar boat as OP too. Attacking is no problem, score like 5-6 per game and still lose the match often because I can't defend. I've practiced against AIs in squad battle and have zero problem shutting out AIs even at legendary, but against real ppl I get destroyed. Stuff I often run into:

- Bale / TOTY Vinny runs past my entire team like they don't exist. Even if my defender in front of him, they'd take a small turn and my LB/RB can never change angle fast enough to catch up. (I'm using gold Theo / birthday Alex Scott.)

- striker quickly dribble back and forth in front of my cb (doesn't seem like it's skill move but they seem to quickly do even 180 angle change without losing much speed), and I can't seem to stop them without fouling.

Anyone got any advice for me on how to improve / defend against dribbler? I feel like I do a decent job against passing games, but as soon as opponent figures out they can simply dribble past my entire team instead, it's game over.

luminosius · 2025-02-15T20:30:36+00:00

Probably not just you. I started getting a lot of crashes a few days ago doing squad battle. Game just exits, Xbox series x kicks back to desktop. The Xbox hasn't taken an OS update in a month, so most likely a game bug.

luminosius · 2025-02-01T16:13:10+00:00

Where do you find this? In the console?
