Guys, find a woman who looks at you the way GhostStalker looks at every bald, obese, single 58 year old accountant from Tulsa who managed to win $4,000 by not wagering on a Final Jeopardy triple stumper.

Surprised there haven't been any Kotobombs posted here for her birthday.

I'm 5 loveca out from a Scout 11 thanks to saving up (used to do a lot of Solo Yolos when I didn't know any better, my cousin and other SIF players I met at a con told me how dumb that was and how many SRs I'm missing out on), the Kotori birthday gift, a 2 loveca "sorry for emergency maintenance to fix an error showing Ruby instead of Kotori since the former's birthday is the 21st", and some Token Match point and full combo rewards. Should be able to do a pull in the next couple of days, depends on what the Limited Time Scouting options are, or whether I should just do Honor Student Scouting to possibly get some Fairyland SRs.

Was able to idolize my first SR (Magician Pana) with my previous Scout 11 right after the next to last event (Chika and Riko token match), along with a Ninja Kotori, so I'm hoping for a decent one this time around when I build up the loveca.

Was told to come here to discuss SIF instead of the Sunshine thread, so I have. Full Moon Pana token event just started up, there's already a dude hacking and bragging about it at the top of the leaderboard, like the Chika/Riko double event last month. It took K-Lab way too long to remove that dude, and only after he hacked more accounts to the top of the boards. Hopefully they'll do it quicker this time around. I just want the SR, probably not going to try and Tier to idolize.

Got a barista who also plays SIF at the Starbucks I frequent to do my Scout 11 earlier tonight on the Popular Scouting promotion they have going on right now, and she pulled 3 SRs for me, including the Homura Bakery Eli which let me idolize her as I already had a copy and who is now my center, plus the Honk from the same set and a Cool Pana.

Can't believe my luck. Thank you based idol gods! Still no URs though.

Man, those Transmission Errors were killing me right after the update, glad that's over with. Was afraid I was gonna miss out on my Daily Reward today, but only needing to play one song to get the loveca is a great change.

Just need one more loveca and I can do a Scout 11, no idea if I should do the limited µ's one or Aqours instead. Kinda want a chance at the Taisho Romance set, so I'm leaning µ's. Thank you refund loveca from meeting album goals.

Cialis Railman posted:

I scouted my first member of Aquors and it was Dia. :geno:
Did a solo Yolo for Aqours in order to clear that goal and get a Scouting Coupon, and I got a Dia as well. Scouting coupon gave me a Riko, now both idolized with seals, and wow that was pretty hefty on the G. Still, I'm not spending it on anything else, so I might as well. Idolized a couple more Aqours members I picked up, working on Bonding them now for more loveca. Dia's pretty good though, I dunno what your problem is.

Probably gonna see what unidolized µ's members I might want to idolize with seals after I do my Scout 11, which I should be able to do tomorrow, with the loveca from the Daily Login Reward if nothing else. So many new goals to clear and new songs, especially those on Expert, to play, so little LP.

Accidentally practiced away a couple of Normals I was trying to max level because I wasn't used to the new UI when trying to level up another one and fat fingered them when trying to scroll my list. Wound up practicing her away to one of my SRs quickly after clearing her side story, so I guess it wasn't a total loss, but so much wasted XP...

How do I unlock more Aqours main stories anyway? Stopped giving me new ones after the first years introduced themselves to me and I don't see any Goal to clear to advance the story to have the third years introduce themselves. At least my two previous Aqours SRs are voiced now.

Did a Scout 11 for the µ's set this morning, got all Rs except for the Taisho set Eli SR. That filled up my Honor Scouting meter twice over and got the 2 blue tickets I needed for a coupon scout. Got the baking set Nico SR. So many new Pure SRs to level, but at least they aren't Cool ones since my team there is already full. Now if I could only get a UR (or even an SSR).

Good thing this new update is giving out friend points like crazy with every goal and the new songs and such, so much leveling fodder and G rewards for Aqours Basic Scouting. Already pulled a couple of starter Aqours Rs from flips during normal scouts, though I'm still waiting for a Mari, Maru, or Ruby. Now I need to save up the loveca for Aqours scouting, though with all these new events and songs and the event starting tonight, that shouldn't be too hard...

Love the goals for Aqours members' "First Live"s and then idolization, makes it easy enough to get idolized Pure members of Aqours and then loveca right after, even if I do a seal idolization. Guess I wasn't spending all that G on anything else anyway.

Dia/Ruby Score Match starts tonight, and of course it ends New York Comic Con weekend. I'll probably be too busy working it in Artist Alley to make sure I tier for the Dia SR, though I guess the Ruby one will be a decent consolation. Hope I can Tier for Dia, but the WiFi at Javits is poo poo, and I'd rather not pay for a better connection either.

Nice. Very nice.

Whoever it was that said that Riko is mad depressing in her quotes on the main screen, she really is. I mean, drat girl, cheer up! I like her anime incarnation better, but in game, she just seems like a super downer.

Also, this event is kicking my rear end trying to stay safely in the middle of Tier 3 for the Dia SR. Probably gonna need to blow some more loveca soon to maintain rank when I wake up tomorrow, but that's not too bad since they're tossing them out like crazy with new idolizations, update rewards, goals and such.

Yeah, she's much more fun in the anime, but on the other hand, in between "yo I suck" I did learn she likes to paint. So that's pretty nice. …Somehow the quote about the sandwich seems weird. Like, not just 'hurrhuhrr make me a sammich' weird, but like, why a sandwich in particular?

Yeah, that sandwich line from her was really weird, especially when I noticed it on my SR the first time and it hadn't been voiced yet. She's just so drat self-deprecating, it's annoying hearing that practically every line. I wish one of her newer SR/UR cards could fit in her kabedon fetish from the anime, that'd be cool.

Also man, I keep barely maintaining my position in the middle of Tier 3 day by day. Seems everyone wants to get this Dia SR...

I haven't actually set anyone else as partner, though. Are they all sorta broken records? Is You just sea shanties and uniforms?

I've had Ruby, Mari, Dia, Chika, Yohane, Maru, and You pop up for me randomly when playing in Aqours mode that I remember. Ruby is a nervous wreck and such, even more so than Riko; Dia is all imperious and to the point, but she has a cute line or two (pudding!); Chika is her normal hyper self and talks about her family's inn from time to time; Yohane is Yohane; Mari peppers in foreign words and talks about rock and roll and riding horses sometimes; and Maru talks about reading and says "Zura" a couple times, apologizing for her accent when she catches herself during those lines; You talks about sailing and boats and high dives, no uniform talk in sight save for (I think?) a Side Story during her intro (and maybe one of the Aqours stories when they introduce the second years? I forget).

They're no more broken records than the µ's members when you hear their lines so often.

Dia on the home screen is pretty great, she occasionally decides to gush about how cute Ruby is.

And there's always that cute Pudding! line she has, which is pretty great. Also, when she pops in on the home screen, the "Ahem" she does is pretty good.

Chill la Chill posted:

I customarily set the home screen character to the latest UR I've gotten for a couple weeks before switching it back to Nico Nico. I can't wait to switch it back.

Yeah, same. I currently have the Event Ruby SR as my Partner character and main team center, and while she's pretty shy and such, her unique line referencing Tanabata is pretty good, even if it's been like 3 months since Tanabata (7/7 on the western calendar, the Chinese version still goes off lunar months). But I guess EN SIF has to run the events in the same order JP does, and this was just the next one on the list. Guess it's about as strange as hearing my Event Pana SR reference rolling dumplings for the moon/mid-autumn festival even though that was last month.

Anyway, it'll probably change to whatever new SR I pull next, or the Dia SR from this event if I manage to keep in Tier 3... Barley holding on, but I hopefully should be able to maintain my position by spending only a minimum of loveca, if working NYCC this weekend and surviving on the Javits Center's lovely WiFi doesn't throw everything out of whack with loads of unspent LP not turned into Event points... RIP me (and my loveca) if that happens...

I just had Zuramaru invade my home screen to tell me their school was a Catholic school. Freaking really?

Yeah, that surprised me when I first saw it in one of the Aqours story chapters, in the one where the first years were introducing themselves, I think. That got left out of the anime, but I guess that bit of info was in the previously released promo material? I've had Zuramaru pop in a couple times on my home screen, but I don't think she said anything about Uranahoshi being a Catholic School in those cut-ins, or if she did, I hit another screen too quickly to read that bit and only noticed it was Zuramaru on the screen to see other messages on screen.

I've actually had Eli telling me how nice the Christmas lights look for the better part of a year. It's fine~

I assumed Hanamaru meant her middle school was a catholic one, but Uranahoshi being a catholic school (in the middle of nowhere) rather explains its problems, huh?

This is what I got when Hanamaru invaded my home screen:


That doesn't even make any sense; why are you even here then.

Huh, I forget if that's the line I get when Zuramaru pops in, but I remember seeing that line in particular before, maybe on a poke. I'll pay more attention the next time she shows up.

Ah, that is a good point. God knows I've heard that Eli's the President, and Nozomi's her vice president a million drat times. Maybe I'll stick Mari out there for a bit, see if any of her lines are as good as 「my japanese heart」in that one side story.

Just got that side story earlier today, love hearing Mari's random Engrish phrases thrown into the mix in her lines, even if her skill activation line can sometime get annoying.

Mari's the one who shouts "Aqours!," right? That's kinda annoying, but it isn't as distracting as whoever the hell on µ’s keeps saying something that sounds oddly like “deculture.”

Because like, what the gently caress?

More like Engrish "Go! Go! Aqours (in a really long drawn out Engrish way)!". Took me forever to understand she was saying Aqours with her super exaggerated accent and Engrish she uses in the line there.

Also, don't think I've ever heard a µ's member say the latter. Maybe I'm just not paying enough attention or hearing it right?

Was so tired after working NYCC and playing on my downtime to try and maintain my rank, but I managed to break into Tier 3 at the last minute after burning like 6 loveca, 18 total for the event. My final rank was 12869, so I got the SR Dia, which is what I wanted out of it. Not enough points to get the second Ruby, but whatevs. I also got Circus Kotori from the Scouting Ticket from the Tier, which was unexpected but very nice. Now I only need another 2 loveca for a Scout 11, so we'll see how that goes.

Gotta git gud more at this game; can barely do Expert songs, so I was powering Hard ones instead, and the point gain from that isn't really enough to cut it getting into the higher Tiers unless I blow a bunch of loveca like I did here...

I've never bothered with skills so far, since I can't read the language.

They're in English, you know. The ones I've gotten so far are all attribute point boosts, whether by a flat amount or a percentage. The percentage ones tend to only work for a specific year grouping, from what Ive seen, although I've got a Veil I can't use yet because none of my idols have enough slots to equip it...

Also, I finally figured out how to take screenshots with Apple products (hey, I got this drat thing secondhand, and the person who I got it from never mentioned how to do so either as she didn't know it was a thing, so I went and looked it up), so I can actually show off my recent 6 SR Aqours pull, albeit not from the Scouting results screen, but instead from looking through my Scouting history list:




Of course I idolized that Mari, it's a pretty good Mari after all. Just wish I pulled a Yoshiko as well. Still no URs, but if I keep seeing that blizzard of purple envelopes when I do a pull, I'll be happy. 36 SRs, 3 idolized.

If you can finish a Med Fes, it's great for bonding your team, since you get a ton of bond points for it. Still, it really depends on what difficulty/how many songs you do, but doing songs on the Med Fes costs less LP than doing Live Shows normally.

I would've thought that the update from last night would've added her voice, but nope, still unvoiced. Checked out her lines though, and apparently they're making her sister's name Sara? Wasn't it Sera in the anime, and her name subbed as Ria as well?

Also, my latest pull from before this previous event, which didn't go too bad. Didn't get any of the Yukata Aqours members I wanted that had an increased change to pull at that time, but a second SSR is cool too, I guess. Now that the Halloween Aqours ones are out, I kinda wish I waited to do my pull. Hope I can scrape together enough loveca by the 28th to do one.

I just checked, looking at my profile from the Other tab shows my Favorited character, the one that shows up on my home screen (currently this year's Winter promo UR, You on a snowboard while wearing a bikini top under a snow jacket with skirt), instead of my main team Center, which is the one that shows up in icon form when I check my ranking in the latest Event (my only actual UR, the Smile Chika one holding her shoes on the beach). Pretty sure it's the latter that uses their Leader Skill when chosen as a Guest, but someone check for me.

Speaking of that You Promo UR, it didn't even have a Leader/Guest skill until the update last night/this morning to add the new event. Guess they forgot to give it the crappy leader skill that they normally give Promo URs when they rolled it out earlier this week, and could only do so now.

Anyway, my Friends List is in need of some clearing, so I'll do that before people here add me, 972221542. EN only, though.

They pretty much all do, yeah. It's where I normally like to be assigned when I'm working at a con. Never commissioned anything yet, but some of the art you can get there is pretty dope, I have some artists I see year after year at con after con and I like to get stuff from them.

Oh that makes me feel a lot better, actually. Getting blown out over and over was what I was afraid of since that doesn't feel good. If I start getting matched with people around my level I think I'll be fine.

Yeah, don't worry about having a weak team, as others said you'll eventually get matches with people who have similar strength teams to you and you'll only get blown out if you tank the song pretty badly (or fail it) or you wind up picking the wrong team for the song (which everyone has probably done once or twice).

You'll still get a decent amount of points even if you end up last, depending on the difficulty of the match you did. I think each place is another 5% of the base points you would get? But they do add up over time. Still, getting blown out time after time is not fun, but you'll get equivalent level teams soon.

I have a terrible confession: I missed Dia's birthday in EN.

I've failed her, and I've failed myself :negative:
Late, but you deserve this, especially after that last pull you had:

While this is JP, you die as well. Hope my next Aqours pull is as successful as this when i do it sometime tomorrow... I just want Halloween Yohane or another Halloween member, but of course the increased chance to draw ended a week ago now as I was scraping the loveca together... Maybe I should wait for the next increased Aqours draw chance for a better chance to get the other Halloween Aqours members, but gently caress it.

I don't really like score match because I get stressed and start flubbing notes, and my team carries me on to a shameful victory. I hope we go back to the other events next time!

:same: I feel bad when I get lower combo and win, but also feel angery if I get a full combo and lose in last place with 2+ UR in my team. :argh:
I know that feel:

Still, gotta get as many event points as I can, I guess.

But I always say Shiny/Horosho anyway. The one good thing about the change in emotes is that there are now two viable choices for the contestant screen: aye aye and Rubesty. Previously, only Nico Nico was a valid choice.

Yes_Cantaloupe posted:

I have Dia as my center during Aqours events, and I can imagine her saying "ganbaruby!" but not "yousoro!", so I go with the former.
I have Chika as my center, but I still say all three ("Shiny!", "Yousoro!", and "Ganbaruby!") when it feels fitting, because those seem to feel the most right. Still wish they'd but "Horosho!" and "Nico Nico Ni!" back in the choices though.

Now if I can only hold on to my low Tier 3 rank to get the Mari SR without blowing too many more loveca that I need for my next scout... People on EN must really want that Mari, the cutoffs have been a lot higher than the last couple of events. Only a couple days left, gotta Ganbaruby!

Yep, 4x tokens and xp for sure. I don't know about gold, but don't really care, so :shrug:. The big thing it does not not multiply is bond. Oh, also you only get the standard 3 Ns from it.

It's a Godsend for token events, really, unless you're planning on tiering and really value loveca more than time. It's also nice for inter-event play, so I can get 4x the xp from my one song a day.

4x G as well.

Been using the LP multipliers to try and catch up with this token event, since my WiFi went down yesterday when I tried to use my LP after I came home. After missing out on the Mari SR from the KananMari event a couple months back by 200 places because I delayed my last minute push by like 30 minutes, I'm gonna do my best to get the Ruby this time. YohaRuby event and Guilty Night, Guilty Kiss as the event song? Yes please!

Promo UR Nico coming soon, I guess it doesn't look too bad. Don't like the fact that after the update, the Love Show screen goes quiet with no BGM when you're picking your song, instead of giving you a song preview, but I dunno if that's just a fuckup with my update or something.

Last couple of pulls weren't too bad, but no Devil Nico or Halloween Dia for me. Got a bunch of SSRs though, including that amazing Yoshiko one and a couple of the original ugly µ's ones. Got Halloween Maru and the new You as well, plus a couple other SRs with blue tickets, but my gatcha luck is still pretty bad.





Did that last pull right before the Limited Popular Selection Scouting during the event kicked off too, so I think I might've had some better luck if I held off for a couple hours...

I like the lil comics they added to SIF. Glad they're getting on the idolcomic train
Yeah, those 4komas are great. The translation is super lazy though, especially for the first one which makes the joke kinda unintelligible if you can't read moon. Still, they're v cute.

new Aqours subunit previews!

CYaRon - P.S. no Mukougawa
AZALEA - LONELY TUNING
Guilty Kiss - Guilty Eyes Fever

I am... not a fan of the crayon one, Ruby's voice at the beginning is particularly dire. Azalea's isn't wowing me right now. The style of the song and my idea of the style of the members kind of clashes. GK's is the standout for sure. GK is so OP.
Guilty Kiss continues to hit it out of the park. Not a fan of Azalea though. Also, when is the new Aqours single supposed to be out anyway? The one with Kanan as center, I think it was called HAPPY SMILE TRAIN or something like that?

The promo nico is hideous, just hideous. Apparently it would actually have a place on my team whenever I get it max leveled, but hell no. And yeah, the no preview music is a bug affecting everyone.

Ok good to know about the bug.

And the Promo UR is growing on me, though I did think it looked terrible when I first saw it. The previous Nico Promo UR was a lot better though, yeah. My µ's Smile team is already full of SRs though, so after she gets max bonded, that card is going back on my bench.

Fair enough.

Yes_Cantaloupe posted:

Especially if you level their skills up, the promo URs are on par with most idolized SRs, and better than many of them. My optimized teams from this site still include some of them even though I could fill my teams with idolized SRs or better.

I never really bother leveling up the garbage tier skills that Promo URs have, though I guess it wouldn't really be that hard if I threw some Rs at them. They just hang out in my team long enough to max bond, then get shuffled off. They also take too long to max out level wise too, since they require so much XP per level since they're still URs even if their stats are way below that level.

I only have 2 of them too, the Pana Cherry one and the recent Nico one. Dunno how good they are, but I do know that the auto team maker keeps trying to stick the Pana one into a Smile µ's team whenever I form it.

Welp, definitely getting in on this. Tickets aren't available for the NYC showing yet, going off of Village Cinema's website, but I'm gonna be sure to grab them when they do.

So I missed out on tiering for Ruby this last event by 7k event points since I knew I wouldn't be able to catch up being 4k down with 3 hours to go, but I idolized the Yohane from the event with the seals I got from the Event Song ranking.

And since I was in Manhattan this afternoon anyway, decided to get something by best Aqours subunit:

not for a week and 12 hours for some of us...

That reminds me that I need to buy a ticket when my next check clears early next week. The original noon showing is sold out already, gotta get the 4:15 one instead. Hope it doesn't sell out as well before I get paid...

Man, I know a dude who is gonna be going to the same stream in two cities on the East Coast on the same day, in NY and Fairfax, hopping Amtrak in between apparently. He's way deeper into idol hell than I am.

I'm going to the noon showing so maybe I'll see you at another event. Got my King blade. Need to learn the calls this week:



drat. Should've bought the tickets immediately since I had the cash available, but no, had to wait for my check... Oh well, have my ticket for the 4:15 now.

Heading to the 4pm screening in Manhattan now, so hype. Sad I couldn't get a ticket to the noon showing, but I would've been even more dead on my feet if I went to that one than I am now. Really shouldn't have come home so late last night...

now watch the movie, and :cry: all over again

Speaking of the movie, I just ate at the restaurant that was the basis for the one that Maki took everyone to after Pana said she wanted some rice when they were in New York, Kenka on St. Marks. It only reminded me of how decor is that restaurant is for Japanese high school girls. I did notice that there's some graffiti on the bathroom walls referencing Muse Final Live and "Music forever" there amongst all the other stuff scrawled all over there. Still, the unagidon and grilled otoro I had there was pretty boss. They've got super cheap booze there too, but I wasn't drinking yesterday night unfortunately.

Also went there last month after I went the Aqours First Live screening, since it's like 5 blocks away. Was originally gonna get ramen at Ippudo that night instead because Zuramaru convinced me during that one skit, but on my way walking there, I passed by Kenka and saw a bunch of LL fans coming from the concert screening waiting to be seated there, including a quartet who flew in from Japan and a group from Chicago, so I decided I might as well follow in Muse's footsteps. Not a bad decision, if I do say so myself.

I can feel it. I can feel the "Die." through the screen.

WW match-making is awful, I'm either up against whales who crush me with 100,000+ difference or people who out-do me by 100+ combo but can't match my extremely lucky aqours teams. I swear I'm 1st or 4th every match.

I got matched with the (then) 3rd ranked person in a match earlier this week, and I got failstratted. Like holy poo poo, how much do you need to whale for gems in order to failstrat to 3rd (now 4th, last I checked) place?

Also, Score Match Ranking is super confusing. I still don't understand how it works...
