Have you ever tried multiple instance rerolling on emulator? It took a bit for me to figure out but once I learned it, it was a gamechanger.

I have, but Im not sure if Im doing it right. It takes a while to make copies, but then says that theres not enough space or something so it stops at 3. From there I can play 3 times at once, but then for some reason it doesnt let me use salted emails to reroll (says its an incorrect email format) so I would have to make more instances which takes a bit of time :<

I finally have some time to really try out Neural Cloud. All I could do until today was pop in and collect the daily handouts and pulls when I could with the free stuff.

I did get Hubble! Not a bad way to start the game. If I can scrounge up more pulls, I'll try to go for Aki.

Yeah it's not hard to get a full roster of the best units in Neural Cloud. Hubble can just easy carry most of the early game stuff. Though I didn't play long enough to get to the actual hard stuff

The weird dilemma is if you get Hubble too early and you lack variety of units as a result, lol.

I kind of glad I got her at 57 total pulls, got some variety that way that I can also make 2 melee warriors team and scrounging up enough for DGC/EXP stages (which requires all melee or all range).

Maybe I'll skip Aki then and start saving for the next new unit that's good. I'm sure Aki will spook me at some point and Sol, Betty, and Centaureissi are putting in work when I need Warriors. I won't know how many pulls I'll need, so I'll stock as many as I can.

Yeah, from what I heard the banner character will enter the pool at some point.

So far the first limited character back in CN is HK416.

DA NYA! is really good but by god, her voice is still grating lol.

Speaking of Neural Cloud, I quit it yesterday. I got near the end of Chapter 3 and just couldnt win. So, now Im back to no gachas like Ive been since August. Im thinking I might as well just be done with gachas as a whole. Anything Im ever interested in either ends up too hard for me or a bitter disappointment.

Oh wow, they brought Rafi back. And added a friend.

And whew, Akari.

Free pulls in PriConne have given me Chloe, Transfer Aoi, and (didn't even know she wasn't limited) Halloween Mimi. The gear guide says that Chloe is crap, but Transfer Aoi and Halloween Mimi are both pretty good for CB. I might not have enough divine amulets to 5-star them though, since I need them for NY Karyl and Princess Peco coming up. We'll see.

NY!Karyl recommendation is 14-6 and 3 stars for now, though she's still absurdly good at higher ascensions. So you don't need to spend amulets on her for her to be good.

Oh, that's nice. I knew about the 14-6 rank (most mages are at that rank) but I didn't know about keeping her at 3 stars.

Context for that Akari CG everyone's meme'ing about got posted and now I feel kinda bad about it. She was looking forward to a date with Yuuki, but got sick and still tried forcing herself to go. Yuuki forces her to go to bed, which obviously upsets her, and she refuses to remove her Santa outfit even if she sweats in it, since it won't feel like a date anymore.

And I'll just leave it at that. This IS still Akari we're talking about, so while she isn't dropping innuendos for once, she still wants to be doted on.

Yuni's bond 10 isn't particularly explicit. You reach a point where the commander and Yuni are able to understand each other's thoughts through her whip cracks, and a three-way with Mihara is implied but not any spicier than the whips you've been getting throughout her bond stories. I'm working on Mihara next to see if it's more explicit from the other end. As for other lolis, Noah is close to bond 10 as well.

Noah's bond 10 done.

Has an unusually large number of typos, so that was annoying.

Otherwise, it was surprisingly wholesome. Hugs and headpats abound.

Chapter 5 PNC is like staring at the cliff so high you can't see where the next feasible foothold.

And you have climbed quite amount (Ch 4) from the previous checkpoint (Ch 3).

Sohave you guys seen that new PriConne-esque game The Shadow in Eminence? At least I think thats what it was called. I was gonna give it a shot since Panilla Saga, WotV, Counterside, and Epic Seven arent taking up enough time lik

Played it for a day and uninstalled. It's generic af and runs pretty poorly (on my phone at least). You could do worse but it's still not worth the storage space IMO.

Priconne NA event has started. Here is the usual guide for team comp suggestions: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ADo249nH7wO5KGqxxXBwdAQJHXNac2b7plPcCEPSC6U/edit#gid=1712666556

Don't forget to hold off on your free pull until the banner changes over in about 3 hours or so.

So what exactly is the main CB setup to abuse NY Karyl's damage output?

Eminence in Shadow. It's alright. Like you said, it's largely a Priconne clone, with a few changes here and there. If I didn't like the series it's based off, I probably wouldn't bother with it.

Biggest pros are things it takes from Priconne, like the ability to farm characters from shards, and that lower rarity characters can be built up to be just as effective as the higher ones.

Biggest cons are that it's somewhat stingy with gems (only been playing a few days so not sure how much it'll matter long term). They use a pokemon-ish element system that can make progression rough if you don't have enough characters of each element (probably won't be as big of an issue after having developed my roster a bit, but it's kinda restrictive early on).

Generally, TP boosters. NY!Karyl wants to spam her UB as often as possible, so you want to have as many TP boosters as possible. Healers as necessary to keep people alive, other mages if necessary to fill out flex slots. So it's somewhat dependent on the boss fight, there's no catch-all that I can think of immediately.

Neneka, Maho (6 star next month IIRC), Yukari, Luna are big partners for her. S!Saren is fine to start the UB chains off, but regular Saren doesn't usually work, because Yukari and Neneka stand closer. Yuki can be used from time to time, though most of his utility is otherwise bad for CB, he's still a TP booster. X!Chika is also a fairly big partner, even ignoring looping comps, though I know you don't have native X!Chika.

If using Luna or Yukari you should probably try to manipulate things so that their first TP boost goes to NY!Karyl.

Looking at the characters I have and the Yukari chart, I think a team of Yukari, Summer Saren, Neneka, NY Karyl, and a 5th character behind NY Karyl (leaning towards Misato for her healing and magic buffs until Maho or Yui get their 6 star) is the best setup I can put together. With that setup, Yukari's initial TP charge should go to the 4th position where NY Karyl is, and that plus Summer Saren should trigger a quick first UB.

My inclination would be 5 star Maho over Misato unless the AOE healing is needed. Misato brings a crit buff while Maho provides TP on her UB. Given NY!Karyl's scaling, the MAtk buffs end up fairly small.

6!Maho obviously provides more TP, but 5 star still provides some. Probably best to trial when CB comes around to check though.

Finished Ch 12 of Nikke. It's incredibly relevant to the current event story. In fact I highly recommend doing this event first and then Ch 12, as Matis are basically the main focus of both. It gets kinda wild

Honestly knowing what we know of Nikkes by this point on if you've found the hidden stuff along the way, it's just getting more and more sus, like this world has already gone way too far.

After doing the event quests in PriConne, I reached over 270,000 gems (6 sparks worth) which I believe is the most gacha currency I've ever had in any game at one time before. Then I pulled for NY Karyl and it took me 160 pulls (including the free 10-pull from the event) to get her.

Welp. It was fun while it lasted boys and girls, but fuck this fucking shit. Shift Up are scums after all. Was a lot easier to just blame Tencent or something

Based on the title, it sounds like Nikke's developers are taking Saudi Arabian blood money in some sort of business deal. What exactly this business deal would entail is still unconfirmed and up for speculation, but any kind of business involving that country is bad news.

Shift Up is taking money from Saudi Arabia to fund a big scale Middle East release of their games. Even if there is a theoretical different ME version, it's still basically confirmed that the real reason for the excessive censoring was probably to set themselves up for this partnership.

Hilariously, prior to this a few days ago, JP audience made a meme about how Rupee was gonna wear a burka covering most of her body and head. It won't happen to that extent, but most likely every characters are gonna have a censored version. Whether we will ever get a good version is unlikely, as they've shown plenty of anti-player behavior, and the uncensored versions are gonna be more effort than it pays off

Hmm, these girls look familiar.

Even though I uninstalled Eminence in Shadow, I still wanted to look into the anime a little so I Googled some of the characters and this made me laugh

"Delta has bitten or tried to bite every member of the Shadow Garden she has met, with the exception of Cid."

How did it come to this? I'm back to basically just logging on and playing PAD for 1-2 min if I feel like it, and of all things, World Flipper because I finally got a fucking team that can do anything. World Flipper somehow manages to reach nearly Epic 7 levels of grinding required to play without the use of RNG (except the gacha I suppose). Its main goal though is to grind so that you can finish the next bit of content, which is also grinding for the next bit of content.

If I didn't love pinball so much, I'd spit at this game like I have twice before. Bleh

I had a good feeling last night and finally pulled Alice in NIKKE.

Maintenance is in 23 hours, and a lot of Xmas stuff will be going up after that.

https://nikke.gg/patch-notes-preview-december-8/

Only thing I'm really looking out for is Anne, but she won't be rollable until the 15th. Should be plenty of time to build up rolls until then, at least.

Oh crap, that collab got here quicker than I expected.

https://i.imgur.com/gxiKGVl.jpg

Got her anyways.

Karnamas starts beginning of next week.

Here's hoping for x100 from the lottery.

>farming 100 boxes on Xmas with a dude welfare

disgusting.png

We could've had Helena or Suzuka, but no.

onore arcade

Nono, I mean the x100 pulls from the lottery that JP has. Rather than the x10 NA has. Which lets us burn through boxes faster and build BIG stacks of embers in the present box. I've been wanting NA to get that early for awhile.

Of course I intend to go more than 100 boxes >:D
Daddy needs his dust!

And yeah, fuck Arcade for getting Helena.

Oh, that. Yeah, that'd be nice.

I think I'd only get use out of more fluids (and bells, maybe, but lol 1 mat per box), but I'm not in dire need for anything. I farmed enough of 4.5 to get spiritron orbs to last me a bit.

The few of you who still on Neural Cloud EN, shitposter livestreamer Doll gacha is live.

Got her in 40 pulls lol.

Her character event is also live, where you can exchange drops for her Neural Fragment to ease your fragment grind a bit.

I'm not gonna get too deep into more Nikke news, but Koreans dug into it, said Tencent basically funded the entire game and own it. If you go to their Discord and Subreddit (run by the staff of Tencent/Shift UP), and you post the no-no words relating to China, you get auto-banned. They're auto-flagged, which gave credence to the claim that Tencent has a lot of influence and aren't just publishers.

New character got super censored compared to her teaser stuff and the datamined stuff. Seems unlikely Shift Up will get back substantial control back over Nikke. Even if they do, they're still the ones responsible for partnering with Saudi Arabia.

If you stick with this game, you'll be disappointed, or at least you wouldn't be contributing to good morals. Just exit now. Post Ch 13 really fucking sucks anyways

So is the only way to get the Hololive skins in Counterside to shell out $35 for a single one? Theyre not that greedy, right?

And the one free one is rng.

Makes me kinda glad I didn't redownload the game again tbh >.>

Uhh yeah... that's too much. I mean the superchatters are apes who regularly dump their entire savings to regular ass streams. But this? I dunno

Oh wait, its $36. To be honest Im not really enjoying Counterside anymore. Just log in, watch 7 ads for eternium and to increase character/item storage, do dailies, and leave. I think if they had made a decent collab with playable characters then I would have reason to continue, but alas

Unfortunately Im also short on games to play, so Ill get bored D:

I want a decent turn-based RPG if anyone can recommend me one :3

Divinity: Original Sin 1/2 are great ones that let you approach combat in numerous ways. Story is fine. Nothing great, nothing bad. Great music. Isn't a mobile game though afaik.

Dang. I needs me a mobile game D:

You'd probably look into something pretty old. Just kinda pick a super old one that's doing some big event right now. Technically Puzzle and Dragons is doing its 10th anniversary, but you'd be getting on in the last half of it. It's also technically a turn based RPG but the puzzle and team building are the biggest part of it. You also basically need a person to walk you through every single decision lmao. It's not really very emulator friendly either cuz it requires quick matching. But I think some people main playing on emulator, and there are a lot of teams you can make that are emulator friendlier

I say old games cuz most of the old games were just turn based RPGs. Like very cheaply made, focused on just shoving as much gameplay as possible.

i not big on puzzle games :<

Girls' Frontline.

Turn based, waifu, the shit.
