Individuals has been my main unit for a while now, so it's good to see them finally get official recognition. Time to start scrounging up stamina drinks and gems, because if the rewards are SR Syoko and Mirei, there's no way in hell I'm leaving without both of them.

I didn't realize mini Gashapon models existed. Looks like I found myself my next project.

Wow, those are tiny. I was expecting like a little gacha, like bandai sells. Not "gacha for figmas."

Oh! I'm glad Mirei's getting a voice! I didn't see that, just that she was in the next event.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. Lightweight mode in Bang Dream just turns off the audience (lol) (but it helps, actually) The color-support option turns off-beat notes grey, which may or may not be helpful, but is certainly not more visible.

I saw that and god even like 10s of that song was enough to make me sad.

Also, nice 4*! I just got three 3*s. And precisely 0 from team idols, which made me pretty sad.
I see you also got a duplicate. I wonder if they're doing that on purpose, to prod you into using their exchange or whatever…
Too bad it takes approximately a million years (or say, 50 stories) to get 2500 gems~

Oh, also I figured out the fires. Once you run out of the pluses, you have the 3 permanent ones, which take a goddamn half-hour to regenerate one. There's no penalty for having 0 and playing, though.

I also managed to get it to do this:


It kept timing out on the error with the grey okay, until it eventually started throwing the retry/cancel timeout error message as well. Except it just sorta plonked it on top: I could actually tap on all three buttons (and had to, until it finally went away).

I think their servers were just having a bad time or whatever.

Also, for now at least the 2-stars are just stage outfits, but the 1-stars you get for the band stories all have different titles, which is nice.

I've been waiting to run out of fires for ages but I keep levelling up because I have to compulsively click on all the new stuff which then gives me extra experience. I was guessing the default maximum was 5, 3 seems a bit low. I'm not sure I want to live in a world where the 'normal' amount of experience and rewards is 1/5th of this.

It does seem a little glitchy in places right now. I'm sure they're working on it...

Hopefully they'll be more generous for events or something because yeah, the sources of free gems are drying up pretty fast.

Yeah, it's what? Every story except each band's first, FC Hard/Expert, and S-score?

Except there's no way you're getting an S-score without gacha-ing.

And yeah, the "normal" rewards are pretty weedy, but eventually you're gonna run out of levelups and that sweet ***+n is gonna go away. It is nice that it refills for every filled XP bar, though. Even the individual band ones.


Also, man they really went hog wild with the sisters, huh? Plus side: I learned egosaa[chi] is how you say "googling myself in public like some sort of pervert," so it's all educational!

But for real, I like how it's entirely voiced, especially with how much stuff there is (or seems to be).

There's also 25 for the level 1 commu and 50 for the max level commu for each card, but unlocking those costs jewel resources.

Yeah, I've managed to do 2 10 pulls, and at lvl 10 for every band, so it's starting to level out. Hopefully they'll have events often to get more gems. Still need to unlock the commus on my 2* and up band members though, so that's a few hundred gems for me to get. Hope they fix the multiplayer soon, really wanting that extra multiplayer boost for rewards.

:h::h::h:Alhamdulillah-chan:h::h::h:

Now even if I can get into a matching, something breaks further on. Like, 0 matches, or "one dude is stuck on the difficulty select, so we're all stuck." It is nice that it'll let you go with less than a full party, though.

Good to know about those commus, I hadn't brought myself to unlocking them (too busy buying cake and microphones lol)

I did my first 10 pull of Bang Dream. Got a 4* bassist eating a chocolate cornet and 3 copies of a 2* Pastel Palette twin. I'm not sure where the copies go, because they automatically disappeared. Or at least I was only able to select 1 for putting onto a team so maybe they're hidden.

For SIF, I'm surprised no one has gushed over the Shrine Maiden Dia UR in this thread. It's probably my favorite Aqours card that's come out.

Do you not need dupes to special practice your 3⭐️s? it doesn't say either way, and I don't want to feed one practice tickets to find out, for some idiot reason.

But your 3⭐️ dupes are worth a princely 25 dogheads (actually a bear. Also apparently "Michelle," not "Missile?")

Uh, the "veteran" lobby's requirement wasn't 9999999 earlier, was it? I guess they really don't want people going in.

Apparently it's buggy and unstable, so they've effectively closed the veteran lobby by making it impossible to enter. It's suppose to be temporary until they patch the game and fix their bugs.

Also the girls will spend an awful lot of time talking to each other while playing. Even the vocalist. Unless you mix and match, because they can only talk to members of their own band, it seems.

Oh also it's kinda like guitar hero, only with your fingers, and the notes are traveling across the fretboard.

I think I failed the first thing I tried on easy because it's really easy to not realize how close you are to failing, and because easy has too much empty space.

Consequently, I have not played most of the songs on anything besides Hard. Actually I did manage to fc a few easy songs, but I had to tap out a 4/4 with one hand otherwise I'd probably stop paying attention halfway or something

Polsy posted:

I've posted about it here and there, mostly in the discord, but as you perhaps know, I had a fun Japan adventure over the last week and a half! I did come cool stuff, saw some temples and poo poo, but lets get to what's really important: idols! On my first day there, there just happened to be a big ol' Love Live only doujin event, Bokura no Love Live 15. Yes, really, coincidence (though I certainly checked the dates I was going to be there for any good doujin events). It was awesome!



This is probably about a third of the space, something over 500 circles in all. Great atmosphere, everyone there to have a good time and buy/sell cute things.



I bought a lot of cute doujs! I managed to hit most of the circles I was interested in, though Mezashi sold out too quick :(. But! I got more than I expected, and more besides that I hadn't been looking for. I'll set aside for now the fact that I apparently missed several of the artists I follow because I didn't realize they were there because they didn't post about it on pixiv until the day prior :argh:

I wasn't terribly ambitious about conversing with folks, but I was able to make my way through basic "uh, I don't have a catalog, where should I be?" sorts of interactions, and I'm proud of myself. Heck, that applies to the whole trip, I was broadly able to understand folks, and was able to make myself understood when I needed to. Also I was able to navigate places and stores that weren't set up to handle foreigners, which was neat, and enabled me to find more cute doujs later.

I did various other things that aren't relevant here, but along the way I made a few stops by Akiba and Nakano Broadway, mostly with the friend I was visiting who doesn't know much Japanese and got bored when I was just sifting through doujs for too long, but on my last day (I guess that's still yesterday for me), after he had to report back to the ship, I stopped by Toranoana and Melonbooks for a few hours before my flight and properly looked through their doujinshi. Anyway, I bought a lot of stuff!



Lots of things for the Dia shrine, lots more doujs, and lots of other little things! I was originally happy with the first Sunshine shirt I bought, but then I found the previously-too-rich-for-my-blood Dia shirt for 40% off, and I couldn't resist getting it too. Final douj tally: 23 OG LL, only 5 of which aren't nicomaki; 15 Sunshine, across a variety of ships; 1 crossover RikoMaki; and 2 AnKira. I think I'm going to be purchasing a scanner soon.

Oh, also I visited Kanda Myojin!
