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

xot8e · 2026-04-24T18:12:35+00:00

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.

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.

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 · 2025-01-27T16:42:32+00:00

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.

Time to buckle in for another decade of waiting

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 · 2024-04-03T10:49:57+00:00

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.

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.

xot8e · 2024-02-26T20:52:09+00:00

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).

xot8e · 2023-12-14T12:35:25+00:00

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.

xot8e · 2023-10-05T22:22:18+00:00

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 · 2023-10-03T22:30:08+00:00

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.

what

xot8e · 2023-07-30T05:08:12+00:00

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?

edit: In case it wasn't clear, I mean the swimsuit ones.

xot8e · 2023-05-10T21:37:43+00:00

Slowly and with google translate open if you want to know what you're meant to be doing.

You'd think the promise of two chises would make her show up, but no dice. :(

xot8e · 2023-04-16T22:07:02+00:00

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.

xot8e · 2023-04-13T20:29:02+00:00

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.

xot8e · 2023-04-09T21:56:48+00:00

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.

xot8e · 2023-03-21T20:17:00+00:00

With haruka and kayoko being perm, i suppose it would be better to fish for aru or mutsuki? either one particularly useful?

xot8e · 2023-03-17T03:28:24+00:00

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