That's the same as LLSIF for C < 200. See below (all division is integer division):

Bond = Sum for all C: C/10 + 4*(C/50) + 5*(C/100) + (C-200)/10 - (C-200)/50

i.e. 1 per 10, except 2 per 10 above 200, except 5 per 50, except 10 per 100

I just got it for the range [200,499], so I should probably see if the formula still holds, though it doesn't seem to be summed over all C, just highest C, I think.

edit: Well, golly, it does match up perfectly. So the only difference is just that GF Note only takes highest combo, it would seem.

Awwww yeah my gambit paid off. I was at like 125,000 or something so I spent a stone to level up and managed to get within 120,000, which meant I got 1 more Loveca stone from the event reward. So I broke even on stones and gained a level. Whoot whoot.

Hey I pulled that same UR Maki, though it was my first copy of it (and the first pulled UR on that account). So both my main EN and my main JP account have two UR each, which is cool.
I'm at the play level where I can usually clear EX songs (Sunny Day Song and Sore wa Bokutachi no Kiseki can die, and I haven't tried BiA or Soldier Game) and Hard songs are moving too slow so I anticipate the hit and get a bad/good.

Sunny Day Song is fun, because, while I know I've gotten better at this game, SDS makes me feel it. Bunch of notes go by, I don't know what just happened, but my combo's still going, so good enough! Not that I've FC'd it.

Haven't played this one on EX yet. I'll wait for it to roll around and promptly waste 25 lp on it.

Honestly, the B-Side Hard songs aren't too bad for the most part. They just always have one little section that'll throw me off securing me a B-combo, or they have a bunch of hold notes that are slightly out of sync with each other. Haven't tried the EX versions too much other than to complete them for a loveca, so my only impression of them is that they're really fast, and having lots of healing idols help.

Healers help to pass, but not to FC. Soldier Game, Glass no Hanazono, and maybe one or two others are the only EX songs I'm in any danger of failing if I'm sober, so healer teams are generally unnecessary, and perfect lock teams just make it more likely that one will FC a song one is already pretty good at, and I don't care enough to bother, so they'll likely stay as they are for now, S/B or S/C.

So I got my friend into SIF and she's only level 13, but she decided to roll for the Nozomi and ended up getting a UR Eri. I'm so salty right now. I didn't get my first UR till like level 100.

This is the curse of "getting a friend into (rhythm) mobage". They will ALWAYS have better luck than you at pulls. Always.

I would dare to say if you worked at it a bit more, Anemone Heart EX is the easiest of the 11-stars. At least for me, that song's EX beatmap is one where you can get in the zone, so to speak, and really latch on to the odd rhythm.
I feel like the second rotation of B-side EX have slightly odder rhythm quirks to their beatmaps, but for that, are way easier to get (to an extent) than the first rotation.

Except Beat in Angel.

Also I still have difficulty from time to time passing SolGe EX and Otomeshiki EX. Otomeshiki EX is hell.

There's a new Aria game on Android this week. So far it's very pleasant. The music is mostly BGM from the series with an emphasis on holds and slides. The card management bits are streamlined and take less input than other games like this. I noticed a dressup option like GF♪ but haven't come across any new clothes to try it yet.

Gonna be honest, not impressed by the Aria game.

Rhythm gameplay feels choppy, with the notes moving as smooth as icons from a 2007 Christian rock Guitar Hero knockoff.
You also don't tap the point where the note intersects with the detection zone, but a piano key-ish area on the bottom of the screen.
Menu UI animations are basically non-existent.

Menu character animations, however, are handled by that Live2D stuff, but the mouth movements don't seem to match up.

I'll give it a little more time but ehhhh.

I'll give it some more effort tonight so that I get a feel for how hard it can get, but otherwise it feels like I'm playing some kind of quick-buck bootleg.



Neutral comparative notes on gameplay: notes travel from the top offscreen. Note types are like starlight stage, and card attributes actually seem to indicate what types of notes get score boosts (swipe, hold, tap). Units are only 3 cards though.

I cleared Soldier Game EX this morning (while half asleep in a dark room) for the first time, so I guess I shouldn't be worried about clearing other daily EX songs except Beat in Angel, which I have tried and didn't survive the intro.

Or you have some side accounts for shiggles, and all your good pulls end up there, and you're conflicted on making them your main.

Unacceptable slanderous poo poo from Donald Trump.

quote:

Trump claims that he is Honoka, describing himself as a “boisterous, strong-headed, naturally-born leader who will somehow be elected President.” He went on to attack Jeb Bush as “more of an Umi, who you’d think would be the one in charge but who doesn’t have the stomach for it.”

quote:

“What? Oh, I’m Miki Hoshii,” Carson responds. When prompted by the confused moderator, Carson apologized for falling asleep.

quote:

9:50 p.m.: Rubio is asked a foreign policy question, but declines to answer and instead resumes talking about Love Live. The Florida senator claims that he is Kotori — “kind of boring, but inoffensive enough and cute enough to clearly be the right choice.”

“Mr. Cruz on the other hand is clearly Nico, a conniving rear end in a top hat who’ll do anything to get what he wants.”

9:59 p.m.: The Republican-leaning crowd boos the mention of Yazawa Nico’s name. Cruz objects, claiming that Nico is more fitting of Rand Paul.

quote:

10:31 p.m.: The candidates continue to argue about idols for approximately 40 more minutes, invariably claiming that the idol they identify as are the best. As no one noticed John Kasich was even on the stage, it was decided he was Rin.
