    The artist behind Goldenglow and Mizuki is reading the new event story on stream.
    If you're a Vtuber fan, you might recognize her.

    "I have no friends on my EN account and I need friend requests but I have ONE CONDITION: You have to use an ID change and change your name to an adjective to describe Mizuki's armpits. Otherwise I won't accept your friend request."

    Amazing

    Event clear. Overall, very fun I thought. My favorite bit was actually level 9. I would like to see a "canon" level that focuses on the Operators from the story for every event. It even makes sense from a purely mercenary perspective, as seeing the new ones in action could induce people to pull more for them.

    The save by the Finnish goalie on Kent Johnson's first attempt at the golden goal was also incredible. Johnson got the rebound in though.

    So wow, the end of this event snuck up on me. I went to check last night how much time I had to finish it and the answer was "not much" :P Luckily this event was really quick? I kinda like that. Just like 10 levels + 8 challenge levels. Easy enough. Didn't even need to farm currency since I apparently had exactly enough to buy everything in the store. And didn't really need to look up strats for the most part (which I usually do to save time because I'm always last minute on these things). I looked some up for the two fixed team ones because meh on figuring those out (tried a couple times and it just went badly). I didn't know how the new operator worked and I don't use half those characters (turns out pink-Korone mostly solos them with just a little support?) so it beats wasting time trying to figure all that out.

    Was a bit confused on the medals tho. Wasn't any listing for them but I got a couple for the event anyways. I *assume* there were only two? I have no idea because I took forever looking for them and didn't see anything "unobtained" next to the two I got (which was sort of in a rando medal spot).

    The two medals were "buy the Jackie skin" and "unlock all the story archives", so you basically had to not play at all to miss those.

    Ok yeah, I assumed that was it but without the event having its own category it was hard to tell if there were medals I missed.

    Pretty decent afternoon in London during Kadri’s day with the Cup. We passed on the parade part and went straight to Victoria Park be close to the stage for the celebrations after. Had a lot of fun but was a little disappointed at there being no meet and greet/photo opportunities.

    Got all the Paradox levels done again, after all the new ones they added. The highlight (maybe an anti-highlight?) had to be Mr. Nothing, who at E2 level 1 requires you to Gacha roll his skill 2 to successfully clear the level (you MUST get the block +1 result, so you have to keep activating it and deactivating it until you get the right version).

    I think I’m at around 50/50 for making it to the final floor, probably due to poor choices in recruiting.

    I’m working on M6 for Myrtle and Jaye and I’ll probably just stick with May, Myrtle, Jaye for a start.

    Oh yeah, there's all kinds of interesting stuff on those JP computers. Did you know there's a sexy Castlevania clone for the PC-98 called Rusty?

    Mildly NSFW:

    I played it a little bit recently and honestly did not enjoy it that much. The framerate just bothers me too much.

    It's still odd to me that "leather outfit, whip, a bit of boob" are the only things needed to qualify something as "sexy". Especially if that "bit of boob" happens to be on horrifying monstrous beings bent on your untimely demise. It's like, how can you even be thinking of "sexy" while those things are seeping puss and acid, and that mouth filled with more teeth than a shark is hellbent on killing you?

    I guess I'm just not supposed to get it.

    See, this is also when I have to remember I'm aroace, so I'm almost certainly not going to "get it" anyways. The best I get is "that looks nice" levels of attraction, aesthetic attraction; anything more just doesn't happen for me.

    I don't think I'll ever have the patience to unlock all those extra risks needed to get risk 18 on day one :P Kinda wish it wasn't such a pain (having to run multiple times at lower risk first) (it's bad enough I have to unlock all the risks for the new daily site :P)

    They always target the last deployed unit; so in my case, I made sure Saria with S1 was the unit I deployed last. She can just keep herself alive and tank the shots easily. For helidrop Guards like Surtr/SilverAsh, I just made sure to keep them within Saria/Medic range. Well, didn't really matter for Surtr, but.

    There's also a funny strat you can use if you have Hoshiguma and Skadi Alter; Hoshi with S2 will literally make the archers kill themselves.

    Honestly the initial batch of contracts this time around felt so limiting, so unless you are really pushing for that Trimmed Medal, don't worry about it til Week 2.

    This was probably one of the roughest Week One clears I've done because there's virtually no wiggle room. It's incredibly restrictive!

    I think Bednar was actually awarded a second day specifically for Humboldt. He had a day back in July when he brought the cup to South Carolina because of his time with the Stingrays.

    Risk 18 in time to get a trimmed medal, I almost never do that on a CC. This time it was a hard carry from Ling, thanks to all the build work I had done for her ahead of time, she only needed 10 more levels to clinch.

    I finished up Risk 18 and all the challenges last night (at least until they add another batch of challenges). This CC has been weirdly towing the line between easy and annoying depending on which risks are active. Mostly just Talulah if you can't burn her down fast enough, she can absolutely destroy all your operators. Otherwise it seems like mostly just making sure you get the light in the spaces fast enough to block the lanes (which isn't super hard if you face stuff the right way)
