In case it matters to any of you, they also announced a Chinese translation for Star Platinum at Taipei Game Show like the week it was revealed.

also watching people hit the 10 button repeatedly without getting SSRs is a good demotivator. I may not be getting any SSRs, but at least I'm not spending money to not get them.

I paid the difference to try for SSR Shiki before the last gacha ended. Got nine rares and an SR that were all duplicates, the summary screen bugged so I couldn't take a demotivating screenshot, and when I fed them all to regular old SR Shiki for a skill improvement, it failed. Don't be me.

I really really really like Nation Blue. It's a good and catchy song without being overly upbeat or cheery in tone.

the starlight stage reddit is actually prob the best place to get information about the game until you've irreversibly fallen into the CG like me and Polsy have

I'm not even that big on CG, 765Pro will always have my heart but the difference is the regular games are console games and are all about the words so I have to be at home and in the mood to try to translate things.

Evolving or obtaining (can't remember which) cards is bullshit because you need PvP to get some of the required items, but other people can also PvP you to steal your items and why the gently caress am I being forced to PvP in the first place? I don't like PvP, I don't want to PvP.

You're probably thinking of the outfits you have to collect the 6 parts of, to create some unique cards, but a) those cards are all Rare, so they're bad b) you can get all those parts by grinding work instead, anyway.

The only regular PvP is the production battle events, which only apply if you're in a production (granted I quit the game the first time because I wasn't in one and the game is much less interesting to play solo)

In other news, i've started running out of space in SIF.

I am unsure if I should just eat my max bond normals before max leveling them or not. I would prefer to max level them for the album rewards, but it takes a while.. And if I decide to max level them, I think i would start with the worst ones first, because my auto-formed "best" teams aren't even full of awesome chicks yet, so i probably want to keep around the girls who are high on their respective stat even when they aren't high level, since they are better than some of the other girls even if i were to max them, and I feel like if I maxed the "good" normals first i would have to eat them to make room for shittier girls

In JP, I sold off the commonly dropped N idols because I knew I could easily get them back again to make space, and focused solely on leveling Normies instead of Rares and up. Also bought plenty of space, like 30 Lovecas worth. I don't really regret it.

I bought a bunch of space, and just max lvled/bonded every normal, and then fed them to my main idols. After a month or two of doing that, I have lots of spare space now. Not sure what I'm gonna do for SS yet, since that game doesn't have a convenient indicator.

Indicator of whether you maxed them out? The album does at least give you a count of how many you have maxed out, then you can open your idol list and sort by affection assuming you still have the card. If you don't have the card any more then yeah, there's nothing you can realistically do other than open every single card in the album until you find one where you can't do a replay of the max affection conversation.

Yeah, they should just be like this, imo. Or make a second video track on the blu-rays that looks like CGSS 2D mode.

never look up an anime idol song on youtube, because you'll eventually find the concert videos (which are great, because everyone likes live performances), and then you'll realize the comments are talking about [voice actress nickname] and not characters and then you'll realize that yeah, they are idols who also have a 2d version of themselves.

Like an anime otherkin.

There's a concert video from one of the imas annual things and for "Alright*" the singer even did the "yeah~" bit which I thought was hilarious.

Also, I turned on the moving 2d in SS, and I swear the framerate went up from the static ones. Very perplexing.

Man, I'm so close to FC'ing all of the Pro songs. Rosenberg Engel's song is giving me trouble though. Those slides at the end have killed my combo so many times now.

Also, on the long road to try tiering for this event. I've got a decent amount of stamina drinks stockpiled already.

I'm 5 or 6 short but somehow I can never actually find all of them, and I'm pretty sure it's not because they're not the limited daily songs. Not too concerned until I can do all the ones I know about, anyway.

I can't even play Orgel right now anyway since my phone's just getting server timeouts whenever I try to do anything involving downloading new content.

Niconico makes you jump through hoops to do broadcasts longer than 30 minutes. You have to reserve a time slot beforehand and you have to pay points every 30 minutes up to the max of 6 hours. If you forget to extend at the 30 minute mark you lose your slot and have to make a new reservation and time slots are limited depending on the time.

Points are either obtained through through real money or from viewers. Viewers can advertise your broadcast with real money or through the one free advertising ticket Premium users get per month. After a certain amount of advertising points, the broadcaster gets some points which they can use to extend broadcasts. This however means that unless they are a popular broadcast with many regular viewers, they can't extend their broadcasts for long periods of time without paying money out of their pocket.

Also, I think you have to be a Premium user to broadcast in the first place.

Polsy
Mar 23, 2007

Ah, that makes sense. I knew I'd seen regular (non-corporate) users just extend their time when the '5 minutes till the end' marker came up, but I wasn't sure exactly how it worked. Maybe I should push the advertising button sometime, I didn't know it directly benefitted them.
