Am I retarded for saving my xp for the XP/Eating boosts? Most certainly, but I am a simple man and if I see xp+ I get it.

the batting mini game is hard but I'm done with the story part of the real estate at least. it's good that the reward is something you can spend all your newfound billions on.

might take a baseball break tomorrow night for some fishing if I can figure out how to do it.

i quit baseball in junior year of high school because i hated the coach but when i was playing i was always 4th in the lineup because i was the best hitter, ever since i was a kid. i didnt play at all from ages like 17-27 and then i went to a batting cage expecting to show off and i hit maybe 3 total even on the slow setting lol and it was super embarrassing and humbling. anyway the yakuza minigame made me feel like that but in a video game so i hate it

i'm on ps4 unfortunately. i don't have trouble lining up the shot at all, i just suck at the timing. i know you can look at kiryu for help but for some reason that throws me off more.

lol, i only played until i was 12. i was very bad at everything because i am stereoblind, but one game, the pitcher hit me with the ball three times in a row and the coach made a thinking-real-hard face and then hunkered down and really seriously said to me "okay. i'm gonna level with you here. you're a terrible batter. here's what you're going to do from now on. just stand there and get hit by the ball. you're like a ball magnet, it heads right for your face, it's amazing. so just stand there. don't swing at all." and that's what i did. suddenly, i was great at getting on base, and i was actually pretty good at running for my age, so i could steal bases a lot of the time.

the kids on the team nicknamed me Statue, and that made me even better, because i'd get up to the plate and they'd all yell "Sta-TUE! Sta-TUE! sta-TUE!!" and i'd glare at the pitcher intimidatingly. at 12, all the pitchers were like "drat, this dude has a nickname and everything! look at the icy glare!!" and it would gently caress them up, so i'd basically always walk, usually from getting beaned. eventually my team wasn't allowed to cheer anymore (we had a gustavo on our team, and every time he got up to bat we'd yell "Goose!!" and make loud honking noises until the other parents complained), and suddenly i was just a bad player, so i quit.

The balls always arrive the same way, in the same order, so it's just about learning the pattern. If you imagine the grid is a numpad, you can use numbers to help you remember the locations.

Normal 5
Fast 1
Fast 6
Slow 7
Normal 3

etc.

the locations never give me trouble, you can line up the shot in advance and just hold it there. i think the timing for the 5 mill one is just fast, fast, fast, slow, fast (that's as far as i've gotten), i just have to get better at it.

Kiryu: Hm. I see. But even though your nickname no longer gives you an advantage, that's no reason to quit. I can't say I know much about stereo blindness, but your team is counting on you. Practice and hard work coukd improve your stance, and some day you may get a new nickname, maybe one that is less openly insulting.

Gustavo: Hey! Are you trying to get Statue back on the team? Are you trying to make us lose? Get the bats, everyone. It's time to give this loser the Minor League welcome!
