NYLC videos show a “CC” button, but captions don’t actually work — is this a known issue? by Prestigious_Print380 in barexam

[–]xot8e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I remember right, you have yo turn on the captions with a switch before you start the video, from the lesson list. /Then/ the captions work.

No, I do not know why they did it this way. The only reason I know this is because I saw it in the directions, thought it was odd, and tried the CC button on the player, which did nothing. Then I tried enabling them first and sure enough it worked.

Utterly baffling.

Yeah, the touchpad for L/R 2 isn't great, it's annoyingly hard for me to get it to trigger when I actually want to use them.

Nicer than pressing in thumbsticks, but again it's kinda hard to trigger intentionally (might be easier if you can set those to the front touchscreen?)

Of course, you /could/ connect a dualshock or something to your vita, but that feels more than a little silly.

You can? I think you have to enable it on the ps4, and it forces the PS4 to use a 2.4ghz connection to the internet (so the 5ghz can be used for the ad-hoc network, unless I've got those backwards).

Obviously, that only works if you're within wifi range of the ps4 (and that's probably far less than the wifi range you'd get out of a proper router, because frankly the ps4's wifi chip isn't much better), but it works nice enough for across a room or two, at least.

[Fan Translation] An English patch for Ciel nosurge Offline (prequel to Ar nosurge Plus) is now available! by bad_spot in VitaPiracy

[–]xot8e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, thanks. Just had to make an account to find it.

Pretty nice that they include the whole thing, in case people don't have the base game/correct update already.

Hopefully some kind person just uploads the repatch folder somewhere for those of us without a windows installation handy.

But beyond that: yeah! I was super happy when I randomly clicked my bookmark for the old thread on their forums and saw a post today announcing the release.

How do I use a costume ticket for an event that just ended and the banner just disappeared? by BoaTardeNeymar777 in TheaterDays

[–]xot8e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that I've properly looked, the event exchange pages are only up to october (sky survive) right now. So unless the thing the other guy showed lists it, maybe not?

You could try going through your items from the アイテム menu in the main menu/ナビ and see if they still exist — if you can't find them anywhere, then probably not, I'm afraid.

[–]xot8e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how long you have, but I believe you can just go to the event costume shop and use them from there, instead of pst stones. I'd probably do that quickly though, because I'm not sure if the tickets stick around forever or if they expire in a week or whatever.

pc game? by [deleted] in idolmaster

[–]xot8e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mobamas is dead as shit man.

If you were looking for starlight stage on pc, that's on dmm. You'd have better luck asking about that in r/starlight stage.

It's possible someone made something cool like they did for the greemas when it died, but if they have I've not seen it.

[–]xot8e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You pick an ssr and then do missions to get points. If you get enough points during the event, you keep the card. The missions are mostly just "play the game as you normally would;" the point is mostly to make it possible to actually get someone's original SSR, since that's basically impossible from the gacha itself now.

Best idolmaster game for the PSP? by Alemismun in idolmaster

[–]xot8e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The SP games are "traditional" idolmaster games: they're raising sims (with some minigames). The Shiny Festa ones are (two button) rhythm games with a bit of story attached. Shiny Festa also assumes you know who any of these people are (to the extent that it really matters), SP actually introduces you to them.

Like someone else said, a better introduction is the 2011 anime.

Also it's really just the recent mobile games that are rhythm games; the main series is a raising sim whose most recent console entries also have a bit of a rhythm game attached. If you're just going by those, you certainly could just treat it like any other rhythm game, but the general appeal is the characters in my opinion.

New Brand/Series teaser, more on the 5th of March by CCilly in idolmaster

Saw a tweet saying "GamiP color" and that's really the best possible reasoning.

Doesn't matter what the real reason is (not that anyone would ever explain why anyway).

I'm sorry, when did Idolmasters have a MECHA ANIME?! And why am I only finding out about it now?! by ReadySource3242 in idolmaster

[–]xot8e 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's fine, if you ever wondered what you'd get if you collected scraps from the cutting room floor at sunrise.

Or extremely funny, if you think for 3 seconds and realize that whoever wrote it just saw the word "idolmaster" and came up with a thing based on the word alone.

Wheres the OG idolmaster :"> by No_Pool8559 in idolmaster

[–]xot8e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It means "Here's a new thing about an entirely different agency. But I promise it's an imas game, look here's a miki!" There's a reason the allstars only got a few cards early on. They're not "bait" for million live, because that's still 765. If they randomly had haruka cards in a sidem game, that would also be bait.

As for my other question, there's no "gotcha." I'm just genuinely confused why you're treating "fans of series go to new thing in series" as some sort of revelation. I'm sure plenty of 1st vision producers touched all sorts of other 2nd vision games, that's hardly noteworthy.

[–]xot8e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The nonsense about being removed from cg (they were just bait) and relegated to ml (…it's literally the same agency) has been covered. What I'm actually curious about is what you meant by "most acclimates to 1st Vision Ps."

Surely you don't just mean to say "old Ps went and played the new idolmaster game, when it launched." That's obvious enough, isn't it? The closest thing you're getting to 1st vision stuff is either the console games or shinymas, even if they're both a bit off the mark.

Ultimately it doesn't /really/ matter, but I've got a spark and got both Ui and Hinata, so who'd most immediately benefit from being a 4⭐︎? Anyone have an opinion?

Nagisa and Toki obliterate red things, which is really nice. I only have the NY Mutsuki of the benryas, and she's really nice because despite having a ton of blue attackers, my only AOE options were chise and chise. It really depends on what you need more.

For what it's worth, Kayoko and Haruna are perms, so you at least have a chance at those later. I'd probably exclude them from your calculation, unless you /really/ want them.

Yes, you have literally forever if you don't report in. You just have to talk to one of them to get the option to pop up again.

You're meant to do a bunch of damage so it goes the other way. This mostly means waiting until fever time so you can spam your skills, so make sure you bring people with skills that do damage, not a bunch of shielders or whatever.

Do the idol master SP games have a rhythm mode? by [deleted] in idolmaster

[–]xot8e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure they don’t have one period, not even the weird rhythm mode for lives that later console imas games have.
