In other game mechanics, I usually just let the "Conversation" tab stuff drone in the background while I'm doing stuff, just for the rewards, but sometimes you'll come across really amusing skits, even if you can barely understand anything that's being talked about. Oh sure, I catch "idol" every now and then, but still. I only post this because I watched Kawashima Mizuki's skits, and having one of the older idols trying to act like a 13-15 year old idol (Shibuya Rin notwithstanding) was hilarious.

And of course, anything involving Nao is great, too. For some reason her tsundere act is hilarious to me, and, as we all know, Nao was outed as a huge dork in the anime.

I'd like Kawashima a lot better if she was just "newscaster" or whatever, rather than "also sometimes I act like someone acting 15 and it's horrible in every regard." It's genuinely unpleasant to listen to, in part because how else would you convey 'anime character acting like an anime character' besides going too far into the vocal abyss

But a lot of those commus are actually pretty good, even if you can only convince yourself you understood like a third of them.

I can't do those completely consistently because my fingers get in the way of each other, like I don't even have giant fingers or a tiny phone. I guess the secret answer to this is 'actually you can offset them a fair amount vertically and the note still counts' and I don't like that you have to use that kind of meta-game stuff instead of being able to play the song as written (see also: slides that cross over each other)

The only song I can think of with crossover slides is Hotel Moonlight, though. I mean, there's some nasty switchbacks and stuff, but if it just hooks back on itself, like the end of Rockin' Emotion, it isn't too bad (not that I can actually manage to do those four-in-a-row in time, but still). It did take a while to get used to doing parallel slides with two thumbs, but that does work way better, not that I've managed to not gently caress up say, Everyday Daydream.

They are! (or at least, the one I actually checked was) I also never noticed this before, not least because half the time superhard is only available on songs where you can't play the easier difficulties. It's not like wildly different, but the objects in the stage background were changed up a bit.

Ah, I'd never have noticed then, because I just play in 2d. At least they didn't split up the hard/superhard MV options the way they did the initial songs with the rotating SH stable.

Gah, Pro S(mile)ING! is killing me. There was one maneuver where you have to slide left on the far right at the same time as simply hitting the circle once on the far left that I was hung up on for a while, but I've finally managed to get a good rhythm on that thing. One time I managed to get up to and past that moment on the starting combo, but a stupid mistake shortly thereafter cost me my combo and any worth that attempt had. That's usually how it goes for me, though.

I'm going to get an S-rank score and combo on that song if it kills me.

Now that that's settled, I need to find out how to take a screenshot of my room. It's finally in a position where I can say "Yes, this is the theme I went with, and I finally have acquired the money to do what I want". I'm actually quite proud of it. There's Cute, Cool, and Passion areas of my cafe, all roughly the same size, with three entrances to each. There's a common area that connects to all three, and an "entrance area", where an idol might buy a meal, for example. I'm not entirely done with it, though. I think I can add something small to the Passion area (maybe Pinya), and posters to the Cool and Cute areas.

But I'm in a good place right now.

On iOS it's "hold home & sleep" to take a screenshot in whatever, donno about android (or if it even has a single universal one, really). Also if you haven't fiddled with it, the icon with the two arrows expanding outward in the upper right hides the UI, for your optimal screen-shooting needs.

Thankfully, M+ isn't a regular feature. Although the biggest problem with that is that you'd have to remember which side to overlap, like the LRLRLR in Tulip or certain full-screen-to-hold slides, like in Angel Breeze.

It's rather difficult to cross over your hands to do some tapping because you chose poorly.

They like to assume I'm going to use my right hand for the middle. I've gotten reasonably good at playing the side with my left ring finger.

There's a couple things where I'll say "oh, a L -> R slide? I'll use my left thumb then" and that is the bad thing and now I have to somehow use my right thumb, while holding the phone, to hit a couple notes on the left side. :( I thought there was a bad version, but there's just feels good man???????

Also, SS is really keen on making you go past the centerline, so I don't think they particularly care what 'side' you want to use for the middle. Some songs really want you to do other stuff with your right right after a hold or a switchback slide or whatever in the middle.

In an unrelated note, that lantern looked like she had a stupid hat.
I'm not sure how I would feel about a toho nico, but I am very pleased with the ninja. Also with now having a proper UR for each color. :toot:

The switches are mostly telegraphed but sometimes you end up with a hold on the middle with no other indication. Why not do whatever's more comfortable there?
At least they're better about it now.

Would I be totally off-base in saying there's basically no point in using Normal or Normal+ cards after you build up a healthy stock (let's say about 10) of Rs, SRs, and / or SSRs?

There's always building affection for getting the skits / rewards, but since they're basically a non-entity when it comes to getting good Live scores, I can't see a good reason to ever use them after a point.

Yeah, some songs are amazing at leading you in the right direction.

Some songs want you to suffer horribly.

Still glad I have a small-ish phone, because poo poo like "2-up adjacent far left/right" would probably require a weird-rear end grip, at the least, to manage with anything bigger. That or thumb extensions.

Also a while back we were having a nice chat about getting 250 gems for 250 days login bonus. You also get 250 gems for 300 days, so gently caress knows what the interval actually is. But there's that to look forward to, I guess.

It's the best and the end of episode 24 is also the best.

These are the only correct opinions.

Speaking of incorrect, I finally had enough Rins and I did the rin song with a not-all rin team because I wasn't paying attention and now I'm sad. Especially since I drew a nice SR Rin I can feed all my inferior Rs into.

So far I've gone from 7 spaces free to 26! And I idolized an SR for the first time and now I'm hella disappointed because this Eli is more interesting with the morning glory than with a morning glory-patterned skirt.

All I need is one more nozomi and then I can convert all these cards into stickers that I will shortly forget about.

Well, at least I cleared out the present box, finally. Almost 200 Ns, collected like, seven at a go…
