They showed a bunch of spoilers for the manga that made NO SENSE AT ALL in terms of what they showed in the anime. It's like they wanted to tease the manga fans with what they missed.

most adaptations do this, honestly. though with all the complaints I've heard about promised neverland I suspect it was a particularly egregious case

So yeah really cool that they got a whole mod for the HoloEN, but really poor choice of game.

I suspect a big reason the mod exists at all is because they played it as a 5 person collab once already like 3-4 months ago. for some reason I thought it was their first 5 player game collab but after taking a closer look that seems not to be the case https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72o--QWfufg

it was basically the same as this one - everyone confused, ame trying to herd them around like a flock of easily distracted sheep while also teaching everyone different parts of the game at the same time. I think she created the game with some sort of unlimited revives option or something though?? so it was all together a smoother gameplay experience since people weren't spending the whole time floating arond as ghosts

don't starve is a wiki game. by which I mean it's a game you play with 15 tabs of different pages on the game's fanwiki open at all times or you just have no idea what anything does or what you're supposed to be doing

ame's the only one who has really played before and she was trying to teach but it's too much to learn and too chaotic

I wouldn't count CCS / clearcard as a second season in this context since it's an adaptation of a distinctly different sequel manga. the story had an ending and it's less of an extremely delayed second season but more of an extremely delayed sequel. which is pretty crazy in its own right but feels to me like a different category

honestly I kind of like watching people play games poorly that I know very well, it's like an interesting sort of thought rewind experiment where you get to see how a bunch of game elements / zones / etc appear to a new player. and you'd never ever ever be able to imagine it on your own no matter how hard you try because you are just way too familiar with the game and probably like 75% of your knowledge you forget you even have, you just know it sort of as a default thing and don't realize everyone else doesn't also know it

big fan of subaru's zelda playthroughs for this reason, her approach to rooms/puzzles/enemies is generally kinda ineffective but it's also just so fresh and so unlike anything I would ever even think of doing

Also, Corruption sucks if you don't already have a way to exploit exhaust and a way to refill skills.

all your skills becoming free is enough of an upside, and ironclad has a lot of exhaust synergy available so you'll probably stumble into something, at least. and even if you don't it's still good. like, some skills are made better just by the exhaust part before you even look at the cost part

I imagine that most of you guys don't know this, but Necronomicurse has a special property where it will return to your hand whenever it is exhausted, meaning that with Blue Candle it can be exhausted an infinite number of times, as long as you still have health.

this is very fun with the relic that deals damage when you exhaust cards, I had that combo exactly once and it was amazing

for the sentries elite fight in a1, kill one of the outside ones first. this makes the rest of the fight easier since then they're attacking for 9 every turn instead of alternating 0 and 18

she restarted because chat told her hard mode exists and she was curious and wanted to see what it was. I think she's probably too full of adrenaline to just stop right away after that fight. which if you've ever played a long marathon session for a hard boss or level or etc I think you can relate to

I don't think there's any selfhate involved here, she really does love the game

upgraded version is nice, I will admit. if it always automatically came upgraded I think it would be more reaonable but it basically clogs an upgrade slot guaranteed since there are just too many fights where playing an unupgraded one just kills you (which is especially bad when those are the harder fights where you'd most want the extra energy)

rage though is like... even in best cases it's probably no more than 9 block. which I guess is good for 0 energy but keep in mind it's also potentially useless or near useless depending on your hand and what else you want to play that turn. ironclad's got great other block sources, some of which are also "free" block (metalicize, feel no pain) that just feel way better than rage to me. maybe if you're just overflowing in card draw it will work but other than that I'm really ehhh on it

---

3000 is the commonly cited figure for an average educated Japanese adult

so it is high for being able to "reasonably read stuff", since I'd say most kids can reasonably read stuff <_<

Rimmer_Dall posted...

It's not. The jouyou list is very misleadingly named. In literature and video games you'll very commonly see kanji not in the jouyou list, and some jouyou kanji are only in the list because they're in goverment documents like the Japanese constitution and are otherwise almost never encountered in the wild.

I mean, I'm just speaking from experience here... it's not like I can read everything perfectly but I think in any language you can cover a lot of stuff by knowing an unexpectedly low % of words as long as they're all the most common ones

you need to know around 3000 kanji to be reasonably capable of reading things

The reason is kinda complicated and it was never actually stated why so no one really knows for sure (except the people involved with the company I guess). To note, though; it's not just a new costume, it's a replacement costume and her old one is not going to be used anymore

also 4th gen has their new years outfits

I kinda like them both I guess? the jacket on the new one is really good, the bear ears are kinda funny, and the rigging/movement stuff is a lot better. But the old one I think is I think a more unqiue / generally interesting design compared to the new one which is just like... an idol I guess?

of hololive, towa/suisei/matsuri have all played it in the past

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


I saw both the very start of this fight and the very end of this fight (and a decent amount of the middle) live and it really was something else lol. Basically the first time she'd really gotten into a game like this, was super unsure she'd even be able to do it at all considering when she mentioned she was doing that route to okayu she basically responded with "good luck lol", and even then I think the difficulty caught her off guard a little. she was taking notes on an actual physical piece of paper about the order of attacks an stuff, it was pretty funny. and then the next day she had an 11ish hour stream that was literally just that fight and still didn't win

the whole experience I think just got her way more into games in general since she streamed a ton of other big name RPGs in a row afterward

A2 stuff, I'll watch A3 later

Shop #2: again, buy the defragment

black blobs: forgot to play the boot sequence <_<. Other than that I don't think you should be so hesitant to invoke your lightning orbs when you're replacing them with something else useful instead - the fact that two of them are blocking turn 1 means there is going to be a lot of damage coming your way turn 2 and playing the glacier could help block for that while still dealing out good damage turn 1

shop #3: self repair is a weird pick when you're so high health atm but I guess you take a bunch of avoidable damage later so it could help out I guess. Gotta remember to actually play it though, which you don't do in the next 2

jaw worms: forgot to play the boot sequence again <_<. Also by hologramming back the FTL you kinda locked yourself out of the two really good cards in your hand that both cost 2 energy, gotta be careful to watch how much energy you have left. Rainbow instead of hologram would have saved you 22 health this fight. Also I'd toss the vuln potion since you're barely attacking anyway so it doesn't do much for you, while fairy in a bottle is super amazing

shapes: again, toss the vuln potion. Also the self repair was literally in your hand this time you could have just played it before the rainbow

fruit juice: this is really niche and rather insignificant but it's best to not drink fruit juice until you have to. there are events that scale off your max hp (eg madness event) that might make you want lower health, and if not you can drink it at literally any time (not just during battle) so there's no danger of having to throw it away unused

madness event: not so sure about taking the heal here. it gives you an innate curse which really weakens your starting hand and is just a pain in general with a smallish deck. I'd say that if you're taking it you almost certainly want to remove it... but if you're removing it you're healing at the shop anyway from the meal coupon and you're also spending literally all your gold so you lose the entire chance to shop purchase. just lose the max hp here you've got enough of that already

spaghetti monster: another fight where you don't watch your energy and get stuck on 1 energy with only 2 energy cards left in hand, then take damage since you can't block (could have played glacier over loop). You also get yourself cursed here by attacking with ftl and only gain a single point of damage out of it. In general when fighting this enemy, if you can block its current attack you want to think real hard about whether it's worth hitting it again to potentially roll a stronger attack or a curse, especially when you have no other attacks in hand to reroll with. You've got orbs for damage so as long as you can just block each turn you'll win eventually, don't be afraid to take it slow

shop: you really don't need even more rainbows lol. Here would probably be a great place to remove a curse, especially since you've got two of them (3 if you count the self-repair). or of course you can always buy the defrag :P

transient: you use the weak potion too early here (you're not taking any damage that turn) and it wears off before the turns where you really need it (the last two where the enemy is at its strongest). Although honestly I'd have just saved the potion entire for the time eater fight since it's pretty strong against time eater's multihit attacks

time lord: be careful with the card counter (you can see it displayed below him, your turn will automatically end when it reaches 12). The very first time this happens you get caught way offguard with a bunch of good cards in your hand and take tons of damage for it. And don't just watch for 12 too, also be careful about ending a turn at 10 or 11 since it means you get very few cards to play next turn. In general you really want to make your cards count in this fight so things like hologramming an FTL for 5 damage (2 cards) or playing rebound for 9 damage (1 card) should probably be avoided if possible. Honestly I'd probably just say don't play FTL at all unless you really really need the card draw.

time lord part 2: When this boss drops below 50%, it will use its next turn to heal back to 50% and remove all debuffs. This means unless you can kill it that turn, there is no point in wasting cards to deal damage to it. You also want to be careful with exactly how you cycle your orbs since getting a dark orb into the front spot is very strong with loop active and ideally leaving it there for a few turns (what I'm getting at is you should probably have ended this turn without playing a single card https://files.catbox.moe/f0j10j.png)

I realize I've spent 3 giant posts complaining but congrats on the win!

As far as general overall advice goes, I have 1 defect-specific advice and one multipurpose advice:

Defect - Defect gets a lot of its lategame power and scaling from orbs. It's possible to make a strong defect deck that doesn't really use orbs but it's not easy. You picked up some nice orb generation cards, which is good, but you're missing the orb scaling part of the equation. Defragment (or other focus sources) is good because it makes every single orb stronger, while capacitor (or other orb slot sources) is good since it lets you passively use more orbs at a time. The kinda scale with each other too, in the sense that capacitor lets you fit more orbs and then defrag boosts all those orbs simultaneously. So if you're making use of orbs be sure to try and pick some of these up (defrag in particular is also a very good upgrade choice)

General - You take a lot of unnecessary damage during everyday hallway fights. Like, I'd go so far as to say that the majority of your fights have at least one significant misplay in them. And I don't just mean stuff like having a rough decision between two similar options. I mean things like ending the turn with carsd you can play just sitting in your hand, or playing cards in completely the wrong order, or not watching your energy and ending up unable to play the best card in your hand since you saved it for last. I'm sure you're capable of noticing this sort of thing so maybe just slow down a little and spend a bit of time at the start of the turn thinking about what you want to do before playing a single card. If nothing in your hand draws you additional cards, you have basically all your info for the turn available to you right away so may as well use it to form a strategy instead of playing half your hand and then realizing you wanted to play the other half. Also I dunno if this option exists in the console version but there's a toggle in settings that requires you to hol the end turn button for about half a second to end turn instead of just pressing it that you might find useful.

I'm not really sure I'd consider anki a part of immersion... immersion is about just getting a lot of natural input while anki is very unnatural, it's mostly just used for vocab totally cut out of any context. It's great for helping memorize things that really won't stick in your head but if you're at the level where you can just read / listen / etc instead I'd recommend dialing back the anki some in favour of that

My biggest advice would be to consume native material- read manga, visual novels, watch anime, etc. Easier manga are doable pretty early on. It's not a big deal if you don't understand everything.

gonna add onto this with things like streamers, podcasts, radio shows, etc etc. like, non-scripted stuff. There's a big difference in how people talk when talking compared to how people talk when they get multiple takes to record a word-for-word script

Thoughts on Genetic Algorithm?

Very good if you can get it in A1, less good early A2, I'd kinda avoid it any later than that. The upgrade kinda sucks. The two big things to keep in mind with it are:

1) It's basically a curse until you've played it a few times, at which point it's a starter defend for a few more fights. You need a deck that can afford to have a junk card for a few fights without taking a bunch of damage for it.

2) You need to actually play it in fights. That means pathing through fights is a little better than before, and also means you need to find a place to play it in the fight. This might mean dragging the fight out longer instead of winning when you can just so you can play it. But you don't want to trade a bunch of health for it so it can sometimes require careful playing to use well
