Big oof.

I been playing holocure. I had all the non character achievements last patch and working my way through the new ones this patch. Getting 10 hastes in one match was kind of annoying but I've unlocked all the new items. Beating a hard level without taking projectile damage seems tricky. Hopefully body pillow and dodge passives help although the new pacifist stamp might make it easier too.

Then finally there's an achievement called "huh?" with no description. No clue how to get that. I'm pretty close to the 250k fishing rod, manager level 2, and farmed all the crop types. I feel like the workers are poorly implemented because it's SO much easier to get mass amounts of fish than crops so you basically level a unit to 20 and just hope it has fish as it's last needed item and then retire it if not.

i forgot just how bad the pacing is on index s3

it's like they tried to cram 4 seasons into it and it's so off

also aquas va is, i'm sure he's fine as a voice actor in other things, but whoever it is as aqua is like cardboard.

I figured out the "huh?" achievement. You just walk behind the house and see the takodachi's looking at a magazine.

Leaks for Boruto have been coming out. It looks more mature than before which is a good thing.

Finished up all the main achievements in holocure besides catch every fish. Beat a hard stage without taking projectile damage was needlessly stressful because the damn body pillow would not show up the level ups even after 10 rerolls and 60 levels but managed it with fubuki and her passive. Actually ended up fast enough to just outrun the bosses bullets.

Also barely got the 500 hp one. Took level 196 on robocco and then the next 3 levels all offered hp.

All fish feels like it's gonna take forever though assuming theres a golden version of each fish. I've only caught 3 goldens total. Wow, I actually just went fishing and got an axolotl which popped the achievement. I don't know how I possibly didn't catch it. Been using the turkey rod for 500k sand worth of fish.

Maybe I'll try to gachikoi everyone and get the final achievement.

been working at fishing but it's so mind-bogglingly boring i'm only up to the next to last rod. it IS insanely good gold income if you give up on sand progression i guess

cant break about a 60~ combo because hands spaghetti when it goes too fast

I managed to hit 80 on the run that got me the golden rod.That's the furthest I've managed. Usually I lose in the 60s. I find it kind of fun but the fact that sometimes it takes like 5+ seconds to hook a new fish kills the flow. Fully leveled up platinum workers are also going to be making a lot of money. I think they make efficiency gold per second for stamina seconds and you can end up with nearly 60 efficiency and maybe like 200-300 stamina. So thats a passive 18k per worker and you can have 10 workers so 180k. You can just check em between runs. Granted, I've already got all characters to g rank 20 and maxed all upgrades but I guess there's still furniture to buy.

Of course, I also did a greedrys run on the new patch and got just under 1 mil coins in 31 minutes. Could get almost twice that on 3 hard if you could manage it but it kind of makes money pointless.

Finally finished My Home Hero. It was eh, and was a bit hard to watch. Not sure exactly what I found wrong with it, maybe it felt contrived.

Started on Mashle. Watched the first ep and it seemed like it could be amusing.

index s3 is about world war 3, ig

it shows like, every country being involved in some way except north america

which is just weird to me honestly, no passing mention of anything happening from there or even over there

just odd to me that the major players in it are academy city, great britain, scotland, france, and russia. not even japan, either, just academy city, which is in japan iirc.

I just read Boruto blue vortex 1. It took an interesting turn.

Reddit apparently thinks the new Boruto is the worst thing to happen in the history of humanity.

I think that entire fandom needs to be fired.

I have been... engrossed in Runescape for the past few weeks to say the least so I'm behind (and I've dropped basically everything this season except for KanoKari S3 anyways). I've thought about (again) reading This Art Club has a Problem but haven't allocated the time to do so yet.

Cilvanis is so damn funny.

Just a periodic reminder that no matter how much I like a vtuber, if they don't insert their name into Fansa I'm immediately unsubscribing lol.

witch from mercury deserved more episodes

how fuckin iron blooded orphans got like double the episodes is beyond fuckin me fr

Episode counts in general are taking a dive. Getting to a full 13 is starting to become uncommon, 26 is rare, and anything longer is a long-running shounen series.

so if anyone's playing holocure and wants a really good way to farm coins:

azki, disable all 5 weapons in shop. items in acquisition priority is roughly full meal, superchat, halu (can heavily delay maxing until you feel comfortable) breastplate, membership, headphones. mostly make sure you grab full meal asap because its chance weight sucks, eliminate common stuff. if you get a super item its maybe worth slotting in over membership. stamps are gold >>> bomb (it procs gold now) >>>>>> haste or lifesteal, but keep and level up what seems most useful till you get them, this is still a shitton of coins even if you only get gold late. enhancements are baby money so why not go for the +10 achievement. prioritize speed until comfy -> hp > cooldown > attack damage for stats on levelup when maxed, gold scales with attack damage now but survivability is key. the most recomended stage is hard 3 but i did this on hard 1

on my first two runs trying this, i got 200k in 18m then 600k in 30m

you could also just fish because for some reason high end fishing seems to outpace this

Rewatching Mahoutsukai no Yome, so I can watch the second season. Also, been playing Pokemon Legends Arceus. Don't think I'll end up with as much time in it as I did with Scarlet, but it's had some nice changes to the gameplay formula, mainly being able to catch pokemon without battling.

Or you could just do greedrys and get twice that money. Basically the same strat but with irys. Pretty sure stamp wise you want solo stamp, bomb, and greed. Also don't need double heal. Really any build works but you almost certainly want xp glasses early if you can since it's a lot of damage now. You can leave a maxed lifesteal stamp to swap solo with after 30 minutes.

I was doing that with Irys before and made far less. Apparently the difference is that Azki has an abnormally high haste cap that you'll never possibly reach whereas Irys is capped at 85%, plus the splitting bullets shotgun really well. All the survivability is basically solely to help you survive yagoos as long as possible so you can continue the run.

Current world record uses this strat for 6.8m coins:

Fair enough I guess but I'm wondering why you made so much less than me with Irys. I made right about 1 mil in 31 minutes. The only thing I can think of is the solo stamp.

Well that was my first attempts lol my shop wasn't maxed out. I made 1.2m last time I tried (stage 2 normal), was unlucky and got greed stamp around 19 minutes in and got bomb as my last stamp around 25 minutes in. My previous best with irys was like 200k but I had problems surviving. I can probably move on to stage 3 hard once I get gachikoi

Apparently you can also mix in a Wamy Water (take level 1, eliminate it, upgrade with anvils) to make surviving the yagoo phase even easier. You regen like 80HP/s through lifesteal stamp so you can just run straight through yagoos for like 4 minutes, but eventually they start hurting

this new danmachi gacha game just really irks me

like danmachi would work great as a solid roguelike

you could even keep the gacha bullshit if you wanted, but it would just be so much better as a regular roguelike instead of the bog-standard auto-battler mobile junk.

hell, the dungeon functionally is a roguelike even in-universe.

I do really like the setup of danmachi's world and wish there was a solid AAA video game of it. Something like tales of arise combat but without the stagger mechanic for bosses. Doesn't even need to be roguelike. You can have every level just be a fixed map as long as you make like 100.

Also AC6 has been fun. Just about to beat the first playthrough.

Never got huge into danmachi's anime, but I played the mobile game for a time when there was some canon content written by the author going on. Probably the best written gacha game event I've seen (it was about the original Argonaut who was Bell's ancestor/pre-reincarnation). It's a pretty good setting.

New Honeyworks kino just dropped:

And Will Stetson continues to be a transformative figure in the industry:

Now he's doing Vocaloid Producing. Good song too.

Looks like the Suikoden 1 and 2 remakes got delayed to next year.

I have been afking 120 Necromancy on Armoured Phantoms all day so I was able to watch all of One Piece (the netflix tv show) and some other TV shows I had backlogged. I might be able to get back to anime this weekend but been pretty burned out because of work.

lol i actually resubbed to runescape to do necromancy a couple days ago. its pretty neat, most of my combat stats are 80-95 but necromancy seems a lot better on revolution

bond prices are fucking insane right now tho

Necromancy is in my experience the best combat style to use right now. It is far less clunky than the other combat styles and makes bosses way easier.

I bought 20 of them at 62m each, which was pretty low (they were around 70-80m for a while). Guessing they are higher now because of the Battle Pass announcement that was made last week (when I bought my 20 Bonds for Premiere).

More anime time all around. Caught up on KanoKari, finished up last season's KonoSuba prequel, and going to resume Horimiya - Piece in a moment.

Also new Ado kinio just dropped:

I feel like I've dropped a lot more anime than usual this season. I think I've dropped 6 shows and most of them I watched more than one episode of. Although I guess tempuru is not truly dropped, I'm just waiting for an uncensored release.

Considering getting sea of stars. I liked the demo and the game seems fun but I'm in the middle (or I guess beginning) of playing starfield at the moment. My financial situation is quite doomed so I feel like I gotta play and watch everything I can while I still have the chance but that also takes up time I could be brainstorming to try and figure out how to avoid the impending doom.

Pretty depressed overall about the whole situation.

i forgot that the second part of bleach happened like a few months ago

and i feel like no one has talked about it anywhere i go where people would talk about such things, and i'm not sure if that's concerning, or if they all just forgot like i did

I wasn't sure if that was all of the Bleach that was left to be animated, so I haven't looked into it yet. If they're done and animated the rest of Bleach I'll get around to watching it.

i don't know if it's the rest

where the first part ended there's still quite a bit more that i don't think would fit into a smaller amount of episodes

but i also don't even know how many so i don't even know what i'm saying

okay i looked and they're on cour 2 of 4

After actually looking, it turns out I dropped 10 shows this season. Without jjk and mushoku tensei, this would be a really disappointing season. Next season looks insane though. So many season 2s that I'm going to watch. It's got eminence in shadow S2, goblin slayer S2 (amazed it got one after all this time), faraway paladin S2, dead mount death play S2, kanojo mo kanojo S2 (very surprised we got this), and spy family S2. Also shield hero S3 but I'm not sure I'll watch it since S2 was so ass. I am ready for it to start.

looking forward to freiren, apothecary diaries (literally its 10/10 manga), and tearmoon

apothecary diaries (literally its 10/10 manga)

I'd kinda written off that anime since the premise doesn't sound all that interesting to me. That trailer looks pretty good but it's still hard to tell what the show is actually like. I did notice it had a fair amount of buzz for a new anime.

Was already planning on watching the other two (and like 15 more shows). Also heard good things about "my daughter became an S ranked adventurer".

I'm interested in 100 Girlfriends and Stardust Telepath. The season looks like it has something for everyone.

i have caught up with the mha manga, kind of surprised that there was not more to read from when I stopped like last year, but I'm assuming there were some hiatuses

did not expect allmight to bust out the iron man 2 suit briefcase though

I just found it funny when they said they were going to wrap it up by the end of last year, when it doesn't even look like it'll be done be the end of this one.

i really did go "what" when it told me there was no more chapters, i fully expected it to be at least almost over but really it ain't

It kind of feels like we're getting the worst of both worlds at the moment. It's taking forever to finish up, and the individual chapters are very short and feel unsatisfying. If Horikoshi needs to take a break in order to put out better quality content, by all means he should.

it's a really benign premise, but the strength of the characters is all the more apparent because of it. has one of my favorite main characters of all time

I really liked this one's early LN volumes and hadn't heard it was getting an anime. hell YEA

tbh it's not entirely unreminiscent of the end of bleach
