First for Windy!
>>2697772What's she drinking?
Did (You) roll for /ourjanny/?
Also has pump, Kitasan let me down yet again...
>>2697782Unregistered Hypercam2 for maximum soul
So we have a new scatjeet-tier retard trying to fuck with us?
>>2697778but president said its my turn to post first
Parent grind in Unity>b-but it's 3.6% less optimal!Parent grind in Unity. Pick umas that have mainly G1 careers and run all of optional G1s you can. You spend a week or two doing that you will at least have passable parents for GL.
>>2697652>Yeah I'm sure you did with no screenshotCan't believe I had to wait this long to post this but yeah, every possible G1 minus one dirt
>>2697787Nobody is dumb enough to roll for an uma when we have the Maru Support card banner up right now and the Light/Tach banner in 2 weeks
>>2697792Yeah but anons are too easily ragebaited. They're gonna have to learn to ignore and report like before
>>2697790deck?
>>2697787I used a single ticket lol
>somebody tardraged so hard Wandybros exist that they have to pretend to be a Windybro to troll and ritualpost to get people to turn on herMy FUARKING villain is too powerful.
>>2697800It's surprising what you can you shit out even running a ton of optional G1s. My Ryans keep kissing UG even with all the stamina needed for the longs.
>>2697803Why can't we mass report like the umautist schizo?
>>2697787not gonna lie thread actions have kind of made me hate hallmonitor-chanI fully admit I am far too easily influenced
>>2697804
>>2697792how is wanting a new thread so we can post images fucking with people
>>2697809Do that but don't announce it and don't give attention. Simple as
>>2697792>>2697814
>>2697787Yes >>2697613
She's LITERALLY me
>>2697812wouldn't it be better if you borrow Nakayama wit for late, green hints and Nothing Ventured?
I just glued 3 runs in Junior year because I am terrible at the game and got awful mood twice in a row. I literally can't be helped, I'm a lost cause
>>2697826Haven't really looked at her honestly, CB just gives THH so I'll look for future runs.
>team dysnomia shows up and rapes my team >forced to fight the rank a team>end up with a s+ umawtf man
>>2697826>Nothing VenturedAin't that skill terrible
>>2697829Nigger how the fuck do you get awful mood three times in a row
>>2697796>unique is an autowin in 90% of career races even with laughable stats>entire career is g1s>mile C is super easy to fixFrontbros who insist on stuffing their dick into a pencil sharpener (aka pasa parent runs) instead of embracing comfy sky parent grinding are insane desu
>>2697834I kept failing the 30% training
>>2697829Anon, why don't you record a run so we can see what you're doing wrong?
>>2697834I failed sub-10% trainings twicethis post >>2697837 isn't me
i'll just wait for auto to do parent farming
>>2697837>>>>>doing 30% trainingsDon't do this.
>>2697835>mile C is super easy to fixI honestly don't even worry about it. In my MANT parent runs I would just stuff her with speed and would very rarely lose miles even with mile C. I haven't done any in NUnity yet.
>>2697831you can get THH from Marvey SSR which is already on your deck>>2697833it's a gamble
>>2697842it's not me, it's the same shitposter pretending to be others
>>2697846Oh, then report.
>>2697845>you can get THH from Marvey SSR which is already on your deckI'm aware, I'm also aware of how many runs I've not gotten a single hint out of both of them. CB is just a good wit outside of that.
>>2697833it's a 0.45 velocity skill, it will always be usefulquestion is can your uma tank the stam reduction
>>2697839I will second this. I think all anons who seriously struggle would benefit greatly from sharing their gameplay.
>>2697839>>2697853Doxxing myself is not worth it
>>2697573i don't have wedding curren but it really is just click the bubbles
>>2697835When's the next time we get a character selector? Paid or otherwiseI'm tired of being a seiunlet
>>2697856That's all I do and it doesn't work, thanks for nothing asshole
>>2697855Other anons have done so and they've massively improved their gameplay, besides. How would it even be a doxx in the first place? There's no way to know who the gameplay footage belongs to if its edited to be just the gameplay.
>>26978572nd anni I think?

>>2697856He has to click Guts and Power more I don't think he's clicking anything but Wit. If there's a turn where a few balls are on pow you click it. Do it 3-4 times and he reaches 1200
>>2697857Lucky you, she'll be added to the daily legend races in like 2 weeks. You didn't miss those 80+ star pieces from when her races were going on, right?
>>2697855Too late bub, I already have your account, umas, home address, SSN, and bank accounts. Hope you like hawaiian pizza.
>>2697858Click the bubbles on the stats that you need. If you're at 850 speed 600 power and 750 wit and you have good bubbles on wit and pretty good bubbles on power, you click power. Don't get locked in on amazing trainings on stats that you're going to overcap anyway, ESPECIALLY wit.
>>2697861>>2697862>a fucking year from nowoof, the pasa mines remain for awhile then, at least I love her personality
>>2697866You joke, but a good Hawaiian pizza is unironically fantastic
>>2697858there are a thousand questions you could have asked me, i would be willing to record and post the entire career if you asked me but instead you chose to call me an asshole
>>2697870I love her two personalities too
>>2697866I like hawaiian pizza, you get your fruit and meat rolled into one meal
>>2697859I can't risk it, I would surely slip up somewhere, can't stand to become a lolcow on top of being the worst trainer on the community
>>2697870It's like four months bro
>>2697874This oguriposter gets ir
>>2697872You just sounded condescending, I'm sorry if it wasn't your intention
>>2697807Don't worry, Windybro. I know this guy is just being a faggot to rile the thread up.We wuv Windy here.
>woe is me I will never be good so I shall simply cry about it in every thread and ignore all attempts to help me[-]
>>2697865I checked and it looks like I'm decently close, although that's still like 3 months of legend races
>>2697872Pretty sure it's the faggot pretending to be others and responding to everyone pretending to be rude and retarded while trying to kill the mood. He's been doing it itt >>2697846Unironically just report him.
>>2697875Suit yourself but I don't think you should let fear govern you. I wouldn't see someone to make fun of, I'd see someone who wants to improve and that's what we are all about
>>2697881Thanks neigha.
>>2697885Sadly not everyone here is as good as you
>>2697859not that guy but I might take you up on that one of these days. I can't seem to break past SS, not that getting that is even easy in the first place.
Do you accept?
>>2697823
>>2697890Saving these to pop on the big races must feel orgasmic.
I KEEP LOSING THE DAILY LEGEND RACE TO TAIKI AIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>2697888Please do record a run, I'm happy to provide detailed feedback. I've done so before
>>2697890If it's the last shop refresh and I have 3 master hammers and points to spare, then sure why not.
I FUCKING HATE THE SUPPORT CHAIN RNG THANK GOD GRAND LIVE FIXES THIS SHIT (to an extent) BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING UNBEARABLE
>>2697869>850 speed 600 power and 750 witThat wit was an outlier, I usually can't even cap it. Also I don't usually reach the stats you listed until well into Senior year. GL is going to filter me too...
>>2697898>Sprint S Turf S run>Only Kitasan finishes>No S run>FineMo and Baku finally decide to throw their golds in with KitasanI hate these flakey cunts so much
>>2697900You will not get filtered, the first step to improving is believing that you can actually do it as cliche as it is.
>>2697894Sprintslop RNG is fucking crazy sometimes. My SS uma jobbed to taiki.
BRAAAAAAAAP

My carats are in extreme danger
>>2697892I should fill my photobook with Natie closeups.
How can you still be a Seiunlet in current day?
>>2697925Lack of planning
>>2697925fell for the "you can borrow her" meme
>>2697925Seiunlet ≠ Seiunless
>>269792550 pulls in I wanted Seiun but didn't have a spark, I compromised. Pulled 3 Teio dupes instead.
>>2697925There's gonna be no excuse soon cuz she'll get added to the daily legend race
>>2697925I was waiting for the daily legends
>>2697914You....you're not seriously gonna pull for the hallway janny are ya
>Another uma with nails so fragile they could explode at any momentFirst it was Jordan now its you
>>2697942I think that has to do with cracked hooves for the irl horse right?
Seems I missed a ton of rooms, what insights could you guys find out?
>>2697945you want to use Oguri, Taiki and Flower
>>2697925Honestly it's not even her fault, borrowing her has been fine, there's billions of super good seiun parents out thereIT'S THE FUCKING EL CONDOR PASA MINES, HOLY FUCK SHE IS ACTUALLY THE WORST CHARACTER IN THE GAME TO PARENT GRIND ON, I WISH LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE WAS THE "META" OFF-PARENT FOR FRONTS FOR MOST SPRINT/MILE/MEDS
>>2697945getting more midrace is more important than having twelve different accelsgroundwork is importantovershooting is better than being stuck at 9th
>>2697945GW on lates may not be a meme if you're unable to get Uma Stan
>>2697945The big thing that I noticed is something that I've seen mentioned before but speed carryover is super important this CM. Approaching your maximum velocity so quickly really helps in sprintsloppa. I'm thinking the anon who said to give fronts mcqueens unique might have been onto something.
>>2697949>getting more midrace is more important than having twelve different accelsYou know, for once, I'll have to disagreeI know he past 6 months of uma musume has been non-stop mid-race glaze but no, this CM is indeed all about firing off 15 accels with one carryover velocity mixed in
Does anyone find that too much midrace sometimes puts you way too ahead to proc your accels?
>>2697955no because if you get promoted pace you'll just win with 0 accels bsides neck and neck
>>2697955That's not a too much issue, that's a timing issue. Your uma can burn through all her midrace too soon and then might get overtaken before STV triggers.
when should i be resting in unity cup?
>>2697954I agree that you don't need AS much mid race this track but also, accels have diminishing returns at some point. Keeping a healthy mid race and late stage straightaway velocity is important too.
>>2697959As little as possible, but if you're low on energy from taking good trainings and wit traiing sucks, rest.
>>2697959Not super often but yes, balancing resting, training and extra races is the only decision making in unity
Rickey >>>>> Windy
>check the recent couple months of JP uma releases>literally all of them are fucking amazing except for oneI shouldn't complain about saving carats but holy FUUUUCK year 2/3 of uma releases are so fucking bad in comparison to year 4/5 in JPLike yeah bro I'm totally excited for steampunk taishin, the hall monitor and nakayama festa, total banger characters
>>2697968Jp has those super good step up banners at least
>>2697967rickey has unique looks, is EXTREMELY meta in-game for literal years, and has a unique gameplay loopwindy sucks in-game, is an ugly ass labubu, NEVER GETS A SINGLE ALT, and windy's VA doesn't give a fuck about uma anymore (like mcqueen's)
>>2697968Donna's dress is so fucking generic, I don't understand. Did all their designers go to work on Cafe and leave Donna to the fucking 2 interns?
>>2697975Donna is for keibafags, a reference to the real donnaCan't make everyone happy
Don't care, still rolling for Windy.
>>2697975JPfags like it because it references her le heckin Keiba lore
>>2697968Machan? Helios? Acute? Zephyr?
>>2697974>Windy>labubuSo that explains my irrational hate for Windy
>>2697978You can do something more interesting while still doing the reference, they didn't put the fucking horse in a Princess Peach costume.
Tarumae >>>>> Rickey
>>2697974>VA doesn't give a fuck about uma anymore (like mcqueen's)Oh what happened?
>>2697978A shitty dress is a shitty dress
>>2697968Festa the horse has a great backstory
>>2697983>they didn't put the fucking horse in a Princess Peach costumeI meanshe might have WANTED to be in one...
>>2697982How do you feel about this Labubu?
>>2697980"Yes."And you better believe that I'm going to mail bombs to Cygames' office if Urara's eventual second alt two more weeks trust the plan doesn't have a kitty mascot motif somewhere on its design.
>>2697782I use OBS and upload to Limewire, though Gofile works too. I make sure to record every single race, and get the stats and skills of every single uma participating in those races, to ensure I have all of my bases covered.Catbox is too small for a full run, especially after Litterbox went from 2 gigs to 1 gig max.
>>2697974>>2697985Didn't Mcqueen's VA do a short or pakatube recently? Or was that b/c she's tight with Golshi's seiyuu
>>2697989I think turbo might be the most unintelligent looking uma
>>2697984Hokkute.
>>2697985Windy's VA is just extremely busy and has no time for uma stuffMcqueen's VA is just kinda burnt out since she's been doing uma stuff for a decade, some people just get tired of stuff (unlike goldship's VA)
>>2697995ENTER
I wuv all the dirters, eat shit.
>>2697995Take that back
>>2697995
>>2698000No one loves yanko
>>2698001LMAO
>>2698003I said all.
>>2698003Forever Young's design is cute. Don't have a good read on their personality, but I did find that one comic where Spicaman is like "hey, wanna see something cool?" and then successfully flirts his way into a dinner date with her really amusing.
>>2697998Oh yeah that makes sense. I have heard before that windy does have an extremely busy VA, does she play any other notable characters?
Average parent run inspiration.
>>2698008Unironically not that good of an inspo
>>2697998>be the first character to get 3 alts in-game>have 3 alts before a ton of characters are in the game once>all 3 versions of you are premium, no f2p option like spe>be essentially the main character of the game going by the main story>EVERY>VERSION>SUCKS>ASS>your VA abandons you too
>>2697863Just had a pretty bad run to make a Fuku for this. But I did lucky her seven along the way.
>>2698007https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/Yuuki-Takada/
>>2698011At least after the buffs she's alright on mediums and longs.
>>2698005This bitch wears sunglasses indoors and a fedora in 2026 what is her problem
>>2698016>alrightthat's being pretty generous
>>2698011OG will get megabuffs in jp and swimsuit is pretty alright
>>2698018The changes to her uniques is definitely not nothing, especially when you consider that one of them was as reliable as Sky High Teio Step.
Whenever I see people with 1k+ wit on only two wit cards I just can't fathom they did it my wit never do that if I have less than three.
>>2698019>a mid-tier uma that literally gives up racing if they get a late start
>>2698022>I just can't fathom they did itthey ran 5 careers a day
>>2698017She's innovating-yan.
>>2698014you could of just said no
>>2697990>I'll ask for a thread the moment we hit image limitThat's perfectly fine, but going to /vg/ to ask for a bake because people in the current thread didn't want to do it is nigger behavior and you are a cunt for doing that. If the moment you don't get your whims you start behaving like that people are justified in shitting on you and not wanting to bake out of spite.
Leave that shit in the previous thread, for the love of god.
>>2698029Too bad.
>>2698030I'm not moving the argument here
You know you're a faggot if both /v/ma and /vg/ are telling you to fuck off.
>>2698032Not my fault it got archived, also that guy is a massive faggot why do we have to endure autists like him?
>>2698032Playing devil's barely-even-an-advocate here, but the previous thread was locked.>>2698035This is still the correct choice though.
>>2698035>>2698032WELL I'M GONNA REVIVE A TOPIC FROM LAST THREAD, RIGHT NOW, WITH A PUBLIC CALLOUT>>2697675WHERE THE FUCK IS MY SUPER HILARIOUS OGURI CAP IMAGE!?
>>2698037He's also rangebanned, even the site is telling him to fuck off kek
>>2698041
>>2698044Hilarious
>>2698041Anon, you got tricked.I'll post one for you, thoughever.
>>2698044This is the funniest thing I've seen all day
>>2698044LMFAO
Is the vidya industry crashing soon? Microshit's layoffs are not looking good
>>2698044>>2698046LOL!!
>>2698051It's been in freefall, yes
>>2698051God I hope. I pray every day that GTA 6 is a bomb.
>>2698051nah its not just them I got laid off too
>>2698055How will this affect us? >>2698056Normiebucks are too big, I don't think it can fail
>>2698058>How will this affect us?1. ziv dies even harder than it already has2. WoW wins more than it already does3. everyone laughs at the dead ziv
>>2698058You mean browniebucks. Normies can hardly afford any sort of new system to play it on.
>>2698044
Will we ever get more TP potions
>>2697787I will use THOSE daily single pulls but nothing more. Very rarely if ever do I get an uma with those, but if I do then I'll know it was truly fated to be and will fully embrace /ourbackseat/
>>2698058Umamusume 2 will be built on Unreal engine 6 and requires the latest nvidia graphics card to run - on minimum settings
>>269778780 pulls with no Janny Memory but I didn't dip below 70k which is good enough for me. HOPEFULLY she spooks me during my Seeking the Pearl pulls.
>>2697925I am convinced that every single Seiunlet was cured on the megabanner. They all stopped posting and having meltdowns after that moment, some even announced their departure. And to their credit, they kept their word. No more Seiun melties. The only seiunlets that exist now are the ones that started the game after the megabanner
>>2698044World's most punchable face
>>2698056There is absolutely zero chance GTA6 bombs man. It not bombing will lead to everyone else jacking up game prices and probably help push along the games crash when people stop buying of course. They can jack prices as high as they want as far as I'm concerned, I just pirate everything these days anyway.
Tazuna, please sell me some energy drinks.Please, Tazuna. Oguri is dying.
>>2698070Umas like Bamboo Memory and Shinko Windy need to have a higher rate up. They should not be allowed to dodge you after 50-60 rolls, they just simply should not. Multiple kind soul had their wallets drained by who? a hall monitor that punches trash into the bin.
>>26980812 questions, is the vidya crash inevitable and is it a good thing?
>>2698057>laid offI haven't even gotten my first job.
>>26980861. no2. no, it's not coffee
>>2698086>is the vidya crash inevitableProbably wont be an actual crash, but like everything that's getting produced these days (especially in the West) they keep releasing worse and worse products while asking for more and more money for it. >is it a good thing?Only if it makes developers turn around and realise they should stop hiring trannies who ruin their games.
>>2698056Hoping for GTA to fail is like hoping for Pokemon to fail. The brand is simply too strong and the consumers too loyal. Until we see a slump in sales that shows otherwise, I wouldn't get your hopes up. They're the best selling games on the planet and the most anticipated generally speaking.>>2698051It's been not looking good for Xbox for about a dozen years now. Video games can't crash. big studios can go down, but then you have guys like Toby Fox who has the zoomers at his beck and call, you have Nintendo games still selling a ton. You still have shit like Roblox, tons of indie games, people still playing MMOs, gachas, whatever the fuck. There can simply be no crash. Only certain studios dying, gaming is too big, too many movers. If all the double A and triple A studios die then whatever. Some chink shit will pop up or indie darling will swoop in. People will keep making games. It will never end
I think video games SUCK.
>>2698078
>>2698096oh yeah? name the last video game you played
>>2698094>there can be no crashWith your definition, the 1983 crash wasn't a crash. There were some publishers and developers who retained good will and managed to ride out the storm in '83 pretty much unscathed, though they did have to change platforms to something more stable(computers.)
>>2698094And for the record a game like Tetris was made by some bored Russian code monkey on government time, then passed around via floppy disc and tons of clones popped up because it was so addictive. This was during peak communist Russia and they didn't exactly like the idea of that, but the game spread around anyway because it was Tetris and everyone wanted to play it. Some Hungarian people helped distribute it but long story short if a game can spread in such a suffocating environment like that via word of mouth, pre-internet, then you can see how games will never really die so long as there's one bored guy and a computer and a few people to share with.There's been multiple video game "crashes" and yet video games still continued, it only affected certain regions. They certainly didn't crash in Japan at the time, it was more of a western thing. It's overblown because video games picked up immediately after this so called crash and experienced a crazy amount of new growth.
>>2698105Does it count if I'm playing it right now?
>>2698111Okay, your definition of a crash is COMPLETELY fucked. Industries don't cease to exist because of a crash, that's obsolescence. That's totally different. A crash is simply a catastrophic but temporary dip in the economic viability of that industry.Here's a fun fact! Video game sales have been down year over year since COVID-and before COVID, they were down year over year since 2016.
>>2698105Chrono Trigger
>>2698105Persona 4.
>>2698109NTA but what are you expecting to see from a crash? Because we're not getting anything like the 1983 crash where the console market actually contracts because there's too much bloat, not from GTA6 flopping at any rate. Snoy movie games are still strong enough to keep that console going, tendies will always buy nintenshit, PC gaming is its own monolith.
>>2698118We're witnessing the crash already. Consolidation, layoffs, the redefinition of a "sale" to try to make it sound better to shareholders(many companies no longer do "sales" as a metric in their shareholder report, they do installs,) and rapidly rising prices to try to fill the gap while people internally panic at their plummeting revenue. The only reason why we're on the Titanic and not the Britannic is because all the other forms of entertainment that customers could possibly fall back to are in the same rough shape as the video games industry right now.
>>2698109Yeah, and I can't call a period right now a crash when video games are still making more money than literally anything else. It's only a few players, but just because a handful of players have to dip out or layoff people doesn't mean that's a crash. Video games are still selling like crazy, the market has grown incredibly, the amount of people playing games is more and more each day. It's an expanding market, not a shrinking one. If the prices of hardware increases, games will still continue in some form. Only way I would consider it a real gaming crash if one day people just stopped caring about games or playing them outright so much so that the hobby itself imploded and went back to being extremely niche, like pre-pacman niche, but I could never really see that happening outside of some cataclysmic natural disaster. Some more red flags for me that gaming is crashing>Gamefreak: Nobody is buying pokemon! these are the last games we're making>Rockstar: Nobody bought GTA, we're shutting down for good>Blizzard: WoW is going EoS, we're moving into sports>Nintendo: Mario and Zelda sold less than a million, but the movies are doing great. We're done with games!Microsoft are punks. They've been jobbing since Xbox one, but Microsoft as a company has so much money it doesn't really matter, but their gaming division has always struggled to make a profit and Microsoft is deep into AI shit. The gaming stuff is gonna be trimmed down so they can go waste their money on that dumb shit. Microsoft has been dropping the ball with their gaming for a while. Nobody gives a fuck about gamepass or cloud gaming or whatever the fuck. They got all these studios and did nothing with them, horribly mismanaged them, and now they say bye bye. Nintendo's only grown because they know how to foster good employees. Sony is retarded and shot themselves in the foot but look at say how Steam is doing. Killing it on PC. Indies making literal tens of millions in a year.
>>2698105thief II: the metal age
>>2698118>Snoy movie games are still strong enough to keep that console goingNah, those don't sell that well. Snoy is unironically kept afloat by microtransactions from fortnite, roblox, and call of duty. That's like 50% of their revenue or something ridiculous. This is why they were chasing after live service, can fill, and still make a profit.
>>2698121When did I ever say Sony was doing good either? Or do you think the sudden wave of 50% discounts is just "business as usual"?>Here's a fun fact! Video game sales have been down year over year since COVID-and before COVID, they were down year over year since 2016.Across /all/ platforms. Steam and other PC retailers, Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony. The only one not really suffering is the mobile market right now and that's because that ecosystem works radically differently.
You might think I'm a third-rate now, but I'LL have the last laugh when I finally leave the parent mines in a few years from now.
>>2698105We are /v/tards, aren't we supposed to NOT play vidya?
>>2698131>wait a minute>hahahah>im a /v/tard!>hahahahahah
>>2698120>We're witnessing the crash already.Eh, I'd say we're moreso witnessing the failure of the live service market due to oversaturation and just a general market correction post-covid when investors realized "hold up, we're NOT keeping everyone indoors forever and videogames AREN'T actually experiencing INFINITE GROWTH?"The best example of both of these factors being a game near and dear to my heart, HYENAZ. Pushed for by SEGA to make the biggest heckin live service loot shooter ever, made by TCALUK swelling its puny console division to a ridiculous size, ending when both SEGA and TCALUK realized what was actually happening in the market and scuttled ASAP to recoup as much of the $100 million in funding as possible. 90%+ of the console dev team was fired and TCALUK is back in the Total War mines as God intended.
>>2698138Well, I disagree, but I don't really have the energy to fight my points further. I do hope that at some point, the industry recovers regardless. The customers are withdrawing their money regardless.
>>2698138My favourite part about the live service crash is one of the ones that actually carved out it's niche to be sustainably in Destiny 2 committing suicide just to... Chase another live service game that hasn't even come close to matching D2's lowest point let alone it's peak.
>>2698128Covid saw a huge boom because normies lost their minds about having to larp as NEETs for a few months and got more into gaming. Then people realized they could go outside again and they didn't need to all be gamerfags. >Video game sales have been down year over yearYeah tell that to Toby Fox lol. Tell that to the Hollow Knight devsTell that to PEAKTell that to all these little nobody games with small teams that people gobbled up and continue to gobble up and go crazy about. I mean shit, look at gacha games. They seem to be doing okay. You can say "ohhh mobile is totally different", but the thing is a lot of games exist on mobile as they exist on console. There's lots of indie games on mobile as well too. Things like Balatro, once again taking the world by storm. You saw companies get way too bloated, waste a bunch of money chasing after live service bullshit, and now they're going to have to trim down. But I don't consider that a crash when gaming is just as popular if not more than it's ever been. It's everywhere. You know what game doesn't go on sale? Factorio. You know why? Because the dev knows he can raise the price by $10 and people will still buy it because he made a kickass game. People need to be more like that if they want their games to sell, make something people actually want to play, it's not that hard and you don't need 5 bajillion dollars to do it. Whatever transformation is happening with big studios is shifting the power into the hands of indie devs and smaller teams mostly. I can really only see it as a good thing. Fuck Microsoft. Fuck Ubisoft. Fuck Sony. They lost sight of what's important, let em die. You don't need to bail em out, they're not banks. You made shit games, you spent too much money doing bullshit, now you pay the price. That's a problem they created, that other people don't have to deal with so long as they keep making games people want to play.
>woke up in the middle of the night because a mosquito bit metrainees for this feel?
>>2698144I've been killing mosquitoes for hours and I just so another one, I'm going insane. One tried to hide inside my power supply thank god I have filters down there
>>2698141Fair enough, I'm not really here to argue anyways. My vidya priorities are simply:1. The games I like continue to get made and supported.2. I take every opportunity I have to shit on Hyenas.3. I take every opportunity I have to laugh at Artifact.
>>2698144
>>2698146Have you tried making traps? They at least can divert them away from entry points
>>2698157Never heard about mosquito traps, fly traps yes
You know who else have mosquito bites? Suzuka!
Oh thank god, I'm finally free from borrows. This will make an excellent grandparent.
>>2698161They're not great but what I do is cut off the top of a large bottle half fill the bottle with a sugar + yeast + warm water + a piece of banana. Put the cut off top back on but upsidedown and hang it near a darkish warm corner outside, I've caught a few musquitos with this but make sure fruit flies don't nest in it.
>>2698143>Tell that to (statistical outlier)Do you think that statistical outliers can't exist? Actually, better question: Do you know how many sales the median indie game actually gets? I'll tell you. It's 2,000 copies over the entire lifetime of the game. Factorio, Deltarune, Rimworld, PEAK and Hollow Knight: Silk Song are all exceptional in their own right and deserve their success, but they AREN'T common in the industry.>Look at gacha gamesPrimarily mobile first, almost always free, designed for short games, and use a lottery model to fund themselves. It's an entire model that burns bright and burns short.The reality reflects that. Gachas don't have a long shelf life, with mass majority dying before they even reach their 4th anniversary. They sure can earn a lot of money, don't get me wrong, but they don't last long at all and most can't even properly break 1m in revenue(not profit!) before dying. Games like Umamusume, Genshin Impact, and MahjongSoul are incredibly long-lasting by gacha standards. Puzzle & Dragons may as well be a mythical dragon with how old it is.Look, I agree my arguments aren't well formulated. I'm worn out from the day and tired, but Jesus FUCK man, please learn about survivorship bias and apply it to the industry. Your entire refutation of me is nothing but "this exception exists, therefore your argument is hilarious and invalid!"For a final fun bit of trivia, I'd like to point out that indies actually bought the industry time in the past. The industry was in rough shape back during the brown FPS era, and indies gave everyone a breath of fresh air in a stale environment. I'm not surprised indies in general are doing a bit better, even if they're not doing fantastically either.
A wild Doro appears
Can someone help me find a good grandparent for Taiki? My repurposed Aces aren't working and my Sprint Aces suck ass. I need something I can use to give her high Medium on MANT from great grandparents, could someone help me? I am bad at borrow-fu
>>2698165Why... does Suzuka specifically have mosquito bites? Why are the か after her and not Taiki Shuttle?
>>2698131We were exiled from /v/ BECAUSE we play video games.
To the guy who wanted me to get a Brian card, since I've noticed you're active in these hours and may not be active in American hours: your wish is my command. >>2696817Unfortunately, as >>2697479 demonstrates, Brian can not save you from what the kiddos call a vibe check.
>>2698167Wait... oh.Oh no.
>>2698183
>>2698196What?
>>2698200I found her
Whatever happened to /ourguy/ that was catalogging the scatjeet and his meltdowns in /v/ threads? What does he do now? Is he still around, I wonder?
>>2698203I don't understand
>>2698211https://chronogenesis.net/friend_search?query=Y2FyZF9pZD0xMDA2MDEmdG90X0FsbD0zMzA1Pick your poison?
>>2698203That's... not very helpful .-.>>2698183You need a whole lineage with quite a few mediums. I don't have the FOGGIEST of what other inherits you'd need, but you need 10 sparks to go from E to A. (1 from E->D, 3 for D->C, 3 for C->B, 3 for B->A,) at least if I'm understanding the Gametora guide @ https://game8.co/games/Umamusume-Pretty-Derby/archives/536822 right. So, you'd need to accumulate a lineage that has that many sparks.Hopefully this should suffice. This El Condor Pasa has 3 mediums. https://uma.moe/database?filters=eyJwIjpbWzAsMSwzXV19
>>2698217>wrong filterOops. This is the correct link, though the El Condor Pasas in that link will also work.https://uma.moe/database?filters=eyJwIjpbWzAsMSwzXV0sInQiOlsxMDEwMDEsbnVsbCxudWxsLG51bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLG51bGxdfQThis should have all of your available 3* spark medium options.
>>2698217>That's... not very helpful .-.I was just telling him to go find an Oguri with like five med sparks? Get Taiki to C medium and pump her speed she will still win them.
>>2698222I mean his remark was that his borrow-fu sucked.If I had more energy, I'd teach him how to actually work uma.moe, since it allows you to target for a specific trainee you're working with, but I don't so I'm stuck feeding him a fish.
>>2698224>His borrow-fu suckedI just took it as he didn't know who he should use, when in the end it all comes back to Oguri.
Just woke up and read some of the posts last thread. Sorry to bring back a topic from the it, but if there's someone who can "pretend" to be someone, doesn't that mean it's a known individual poster?No offense to the Windyposter, but I don't want to encourage something that can single out an individual or is akin to avatar use, as it enables behavior mostly associated with generals and is also a circlejerk behavior.
>>2698205I hope he is still around, he's gonna have to start docummenting the new schizo obsessed with baking that spams refresh on the catalogue to ritualpost with Windy and goes to /vg/ to ask for a new thread when we don't do it fast enough for his standards
>>2698006Link?
>>2698228Go back to sleep.
>>2698228>general behaviorWhat the fuck even is a general if we are not?>avatar useYou can report him for this, it is a rule.>doesn't that mean it's a known individualSort of? The problem is that there can also be multiple people doing the same thing without even intending to replicate each other's behavior. See: The ever-illusive "sagefag" on /vp/.Also, we've had cases where someone will have done something for exactly one thread, and then trolls will keep pretending they're that individual in the aftermath. Won't name anything because I'm trying to prevent the copycats from coming back, but if you've seen it, you know what I mean.
>>2698233I wish I had the link. I actually went looking after I posted that remark, but I couldn't find it. Sucks too because I recall the artstyle being pretty cool. I saw the comic on Youtube. It was a video in one of those really low-quality farm channels. You know the type. I saw it months ago so I don't even properly remember the dialog, but I think it involved Spicaman bragging to Suzuka and Suzuka being a little jealous that Spicaman could be smooth to Forever Young.
>>2698228Of course people are going to recognize one of the only Windy fans in the thread.The thing is he really wasn't as much of a presence before and you can clearly tell the "people" that were upset whenever he posted acted the same whenever Taiki got posted if you pay attention. Almost reminds me of that fag that kept seething at /v/ma danchou and telling him to kill himself. I'm almost convinced it's the same person just changing tactics.
>>2698191Ryan's career is also just a pain in the dick to parent farm for since she runs Crown and also might as well not have a unique because it never procs
>>2698245Oh yeah, I also vaguely recall there being a joke about Spicaman calling her "the only reason I can still eat." It was in black and white too, I think.Shit, I really hope I stumble across it again someday.
>>2698248>since she runs CrownAnon, I regret to inform you that I'm doing this line of parents in MANT.
I just spent hundreds of dollars on TF2 items someone tell me to kill myself, haven't felt this bad since I bought the selectors
>>2698189I saw! Congrats on finally getting around to it, and while you might have low rolled that one, you'll feel the upgrade in a couple of runs.
>>2698250If only we could clock races outside of MANT...
>>2698254Anon, what the fuck? Why TF2 of all fucking games?
>>2698254I told you about that kritzkrieg, bro, I told you.
>>2698254How is impulse buying online a real thing? Just don't press the "lose all my money at once" button, neigha. I know we all aren't ever getting social security and dying working fast food jobs at 90 but you don't gotta throw money away. Remember this feeling next time.
>>2698260Because I was missing the last strange in my collection among other things>>2698262DUDE I think it was a fair price but I feel like I should jump off a building for buying virtual items, is that buyer's remorse?
>>2698264It's not even the fact it's impulse buying, though that is also a problem. It's the fact it's fucking TF2 of all games. That game is neglected because of people doing shit like that. They don't HAVE to maintain TF2 because it still prints literal millions.Although, now that I think about it, can't he just refund the items if it's not been 72 hours?
>>2698265>the last strange in your collectionYOU HAVE A STRANGE COLLECTION!?>is that buyer's remorseYes. That is buyer's remorse.
>>2698266It's a third party site, Valve isn't seeing a dime
>>2698267A professional killstreak one yes
>>2698265Salvaged crate bullshit was the one line I always drew when it came to having stranges of weapons I liked (a handful of vastly more affordable war paint alternatives notwithstanding).Fuck items costing an arm and a leg in real world money solely because of artificial scarcity.
>>2698257Given my luck, the next 2 runs will be low rolls. I'll just wait out for the next high roll.I think my strategy needs to be reworked. I tend to dedicate as much training stamina until I reach somewhere between 30~100 below the stat target, and THEN start training everything else. The only times I don't train stamina are either to rest, to race, or because there's no one on stamina so I don't get the benefit of raising my friendships.I mean, it's clearly working, but I'm wondering if I'm completely botching how to approach it. Plus, it feels really awkward to be training stamina until late spring of classic.
>>2698264not that guy but I just bought a switch 2 for no reason
>>2698273My condolences.
>>2698273A switch is way better value than any virtual item in a kinda dead game >t. Kritz buyer
>>2698273>For no reasonFire Emblem is in like two months
I think the most impulsive purchase I ever made was a Dreamcast internet CD from a thrift shop. It was cheap and I don't even have a Dreamcast, though a buddy of mine does.I still think the jewel case art looks pretty damn cool.
>>2698272You're doing it very wrong. You want to be leveraging the fact that wit training gives you energy instead of costing to build up bonds, build up balls, and then level your facilities. You should be pressing wit most turns, only deviating if it's a really good training, or a bunch of unity arrows. Once you reach level 4/5 facilities, then you start worrying about your statline because the energy your spending is getting you much value. Generally, I want to be halfway to my speed, power, and stamina target going into senior year, rather then focusing heavily on one.
>>2698280Okay, that's... radically different. I will be trying that tomorrow.
How do i make Goldship (forma la hot summer) work as an ace?
>>2698271I do that for all other classes but since I'm a Medic autist I couldn't resist. I got paid a huge bonus this month so it doesn't feel as bad, might make a fat investment into stocks and index funds to feel better about my money spending (I still have the summer sale left too
>>2698280Actually, hang on, just to clarify: You're telling me to try hitting Wit unless another training is VERY good or has 3+ Unity bonds/a spirit burst?
>>2698284Put the costume on base form goldshi, slap on Pump + Blossom, and pray you can overtake the dying paces, or even make her into a Late and add OYL as a gamble
>>2698286Please stop justifying giving Valve money for neglecting TF2.
>>2698288I'm failing the step one...
>>2698289I haven't given Valve any money, it's all going to a Russian pedophile through the third-party site probably
>>2698291That's also indirectly giving Valve money because it incentivizes the keys to open more crates.
>>2698236>>2698246I have no problem with him in general. It's mostly his behavior and the need to follow up a post like "It's not me" or "I'm not that poster," etc. That's the behavior that warrants being treated as avatar use.I feel like we're forgetting that we're supposed to be anonymous in here. If someone else posted as Windy, sure, then someone else did, even if said post is a ritualpost or just a normal post. Not every post with Windy needs to be from a specific individual.
>>2698287My very rough rule of thumb is that +1 bond isn't worth paying energy for instead of getting it back, but it's not really a hard and fast rule and more something I just have a feel for at this point, plus you have to account for building friendship as well. I'll be more aggressive with my energy if I'm near max since I won't have to skip something next turn from falling below 50, and more conservative if doing so would push me below. Unity bonds aren't as worthwhile after you've already filled them up to get the blue ball, so I don't really count those when doing my math, but the objective is to get to rank S team at the start of senior year which then massively accelerates your statline because every turn is summer since you've got level 5 facilities across the board, or at least level 4.
>>2698290https://game8.co/games/Umamusume-Pretty-Derby/archives/541048
>>2698295I should also add, if you're near 50 energy and all the trainings are terrible, that's a good time to steal a cheeky rest, but the point of witmaxxing is to avoid having to rest as much as you can. I'll happily hit a single unity bond single rainbow wit with 35 energy knowing that I can't take a real training next turn though, so it has to be real bad to skip.
>>2698296I'm saying i don't wanna do that
>>2698293I don't see how that's a problem or why it reads to one as you. I'm pretty sure he's just trying to absolve himself to avoid any further hostility in the future if he posts Windy, like der/v/ danchou coming in to clarify that he didn't make those posts fellating himself over hosting the stakes and threatening to not do it anymore in an attempt to make it look like we're going overboard with gatekeeping.Clearly though, there are people actively looking and pretending to be our posters in order to sow chaos.
I need to fix up my "I was pretending to be a retard" template. Or make a new one. "I was only pretending to be Bakushin" would be fucking hilarious.
>>2698305CB NO!
>>2698305That's such good advice CB, I should unironically do it
I'm more into "Blowy" than "Windy," if you get what I'm putting down.
>>2698272Focusing heavily on building stamina as a first priority is really inefficient when you consider that your deck doesn't have Riko or a dedicated stamina card, and a significant chunk of your stat gains in Aoharu are going to come from spirit bursts and rainbows/friendship trainings (the latter of which you, again, can't get on stamina), rather than raw trainings. You should be gauging whether you're behind/ahead on given stat goals at certain points in the career and then trying to adjust training priorities accordingly as convenient (i.e, being on the lookout for a good spirit burst if you're behind, or what have you).Wit training in Aoharu tends to be king, assuming reasonable odds of success (this isn't MANT where you get to cheat energy management with items, so rest if you need to; ideally you'd have Riko's dates to help with that on otherwise completely dead turns, but your borrow slot is being used for Kita so we'll ignore that). Wit is always energy positive, which means you get more taps that build friendship and unity training. This pays dividends since winning the unity races is important for leveling your facilities.
>>2698310Are you a Zephyr fan?
How important is sprint S?
>>2698284Build her as a regular late with OYL or pace and add Daring Strike. Good luck on proccing sprint in your inspirations.
>>2698310I think I do?
>>2698314I do have a MLB Riko sitting in my borrows list. Since I have Brian, I might be able to shuffle in one of my other cards. It won't be AS good, but it might just be enough to squeak by.I'll keep this all in mind. Thank you for the advice. Final question before bed: What points SHOULD I be looking at, and which stat lines should I be trying to aim for at a minimum? I have absolutely zero experience with aiming for a specific stat line and just kind of lucked out that MANT would almost always give me enough stam. items to make up for my foolhardiness.
>get my first ace with sprint S and the golds i wanted>still haven't finished any of my sketches and made yet another with newmasNeed to stop being a lazy fuck. Ai and Lalala wip:https://litter.catbox.moe/4iljz19td2rlj4gd.jpg
>>2698325Hot, very good work, have you thought about using a scanner app to post pictures with higher definitions?
>>2698318It's nice, but not >important.
>>2698323Kita is more important then Riko, though if you've got R Riko laying around in your cards, you can try swapping her in. Statline is really hard to judge since your deck is just not like anyone else's, but I would shoot for being halfwayish on stam for the distance, and then see what your final product is like when you finish. I would be surprised if you can't get near 1200 speed and wit with 3 of each cards on a sprinter and maybe a mile. You'll be under on power since you won't have spare turns to tap it nor the TE on cards to really boost it when they land there instead of their normal training, but that's just kinda what it is.
