@qwerty I hope pikamee is just moving to a different agency, but if she was actually bullied into retirement by troons, then it's open season on trannies

@Wormwood I have to wonder just how much a series suffers from ugly designs. I remember as a kid not watching a bunch of those gross out toilet humour shows purely because of the ugly as sin character designs.

@Wormwood @James10550088 @bleedingphoenix IIRC he even did some of Asuka and Rei. Expect him to be cancelled for 'pedophilia' at some point

@Wormwood three of the four are 80s moeblob. I think they call it bishoujo or kawaii. If that's your thing you might like project a ko, and dream hunter rem. The last one is just slayers, and I think it's a huge downgrade

@Wormwood that shit is for civilians. If you're in combat you're not going to have the 'rusnigger are chping out again' alarm because rusnigger chimp out wrangling is your job.

Some thoughts on Idolmaster U149 and idol shows in general:I'm watching Idolmaster U149, and I'm more or less disappointed in it. I think the reason why is because it recently occurred to me that idol anime is actually pretty much a subgenre of sports anime that does basically everything wrong. In a sports anime, a group of people come together to form a sports team. If the showrunners are competent they'll give the team members latent talents that they need to nurture throughout the series, motivations, flaws, and desires to humanize and help build an attachment between the audience and the characters, and stakes to give a sense of urgency and an air of importance to the drama. Part of characterization typically requires that each character be given some screen time at least every few episodes to build up their character arc. Idolmaster doesn't seem to do this. They instead hyperfocus on one or two characters each episode and the entire rest of the cast gets sidelined dragonball Z style. And even while it focuses on one character, they forget to actually build the characters in their focus episode. Consider the latest episode, which focused on Koharu, a girl who has until now had almost no screen time to herself. We immediately learn from being told by her that she gets lost easily but that ever since finding her 'knight', a pet iguana named Hyou, she has been found easily. It would have been very easy to have placed this in as a 20 second cutaway in any previous episode where she was seen and not heard. She could have run off after some innocuous thing and gotten lost briefly, found, thanked her 'knight', and then everyone gets back on track. We get to learn a little bit more of her personality earlier on and have a proper set up for her episode. Instead, like Nina's episode, all we get is a post hoc tacked on flashback and a voiceover explaining that these are things that used to happen to her. It's lazy storywriting that neglects it's characters.I highly suspect that this is at least partially due to similar contractual obligations as western action film actors. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson can't contractually be beaten up on screen in any appearance. Likewise, I suspect that all the idols' voice actresses gets X amount of screentime for their episode, forcing directors and writers to hamfist Koharu's entire character arc into her episode, because every other actress has similar restrictions. But even limited to one episode, much better options are available. Nina's episode, in particular, is very poorly written. She apparently used to be very shy until she got her kigurumi (animal pajama streetwear), which helped her to open up to others. She complains that after losing one of hers that she'll be unable to socialize. Unfortunately, they never bring up this fact until the end of the episode, after we see her interacting with numerous people sans kigurumi completely oblivious of this apparent difficulty. They could literally have written her first falling back into her pre kigurumi behaviour before being pushed to socialize by Producer, but instead all of her problems simply never existed throughout the episode and all Producer did to 'help' was say "Hey that issue that you basically made up right now isn't real".Sports anime usually have stakes. Whether it's a competition, qualifier, etc. They managed to mess this up as well. Episode after episode no consequences are ever seen or implied if anything goes wrong. Miria going on a livestream despite being too young, Producer gets scolded and little more. Risa and Haru doing backup dancing for older idols. They can do it perfectly the first time it's shown. Other idols don't have anything relevant to do this episode? Chie does homework, Koharu is doodling, Haru is playing with a soccer ball, and Momoka is drinking tea. It really doesn't give the idea that these are humans striving to achieve a goal when they're all stuck in NPC loops before and after their mandatory episode animates them for a brief moment.Compare all of this to a good sports anime episode, like Episode 6 of Ping Pong, in which we get an understanding that Smile's hero in his flashbacks is Peco with a single line from Sakuma, that Peco's defeat to Sakuma has emotionally destroyed him through his alcoholism and debauchery, that Kong deeply misses his mother and homeland but is striving to fit in in Japan and with his new friends, that Smile has fully retreated into solitude, that Egami is still trying to find himself, that Yurie's attempts to set up a date between herself and Ryuichi have finally broken her patience, and that Ryuichi is too dedicated to his sport to reciprocate Yurie's feelings. Most of this character development is done within a few minutes of musical accompaniment, leaving the vast majority of the episode to focus on Peco. We get stakes by seeing Ryuichi's dedication above all else, Kong and Smile's loneliness, and the depression that defeat has brought Peco. We get humanizing traits, turning Kong from a stuck up overachiever to a successfully integrated member of his team, and putting Peco's previous carefre attitude into perspective. We get to see a bit of their talents and failings. It's an amazing episode in an excellent series, and it really contrasts how important good writing and thoughtful character development made with foresight is.All that said, U149 is not without its merits. Momoka's episode was particularly good. We get to see how competent and mature she is about her job, while still having reservations about being typecasted, without having it spelled out and brought up only right at the conclusion of the episode. We also get the best (but still not really good) performance from Producer, who manages to actually be useful by showing Momoka that it's okay to be afraid of the bungee jumping punishment game, and to take the creative liberty to give an honest reaction to the audience. For bonus points we even get some development for Alice, right at the end when Momoka manages to briefly crack her adult-like protective shell.If anyone wants an actually good Idol anime to watch, I'd instead recommend Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight, which is barely an idol anime, but represents real life performing arts much better, has real interpersonal and professional conflict, well developed characters, good music, and has plenty of cute girls

@hidden There's probably a few factors at play here. More autistic people reaching adulthood and not being institutionalized before they can marry/reproduce, expanded definitions, and (I would characterize as) overdiagnosis

And of fucking course they decide to do a 'Koharu walks off on everyone' scene in the latest episode. Good job Cygames. You're only one episode late.

Some oldfags might remember the Mcdonalds Videogame (https://www.molleindustria.org/flash/index.html?file=/swf/mcdonalds.swf), a tycoon style management game made in flash, in which you control a fictionalized McDonalds corporation, and choose exactly how you intend to raise and feed livestock, which employees you intend to hire discipline or fire, and which seedy advertising and bribery campaigns you wish to engage in, with the simple goal of making as much money as possible for the McDonalds corporation, or at least to not go bankrupt (the only game ending scenario)I was looking back on this old game and found that there are no (good) walkthroughs on this game, so I guess it's up to me to make one. I've found three 'sure fire' gameplay styles which are essentially self sustaining, meaning you can let the game run indefinitely without touching anything and not fail.The first method is simple enough. Do nothing. McDonald's has no absolute costs. If we don't purchase any plots, add hormones to the feed, hire any line cooks or cashiers, or get any advertising or bribes going, we will have no expenses and none of the detractors will get angry letting us leave the game running indefinitely.The second method is the 'evil maxxing cost minning' method. The basic idea being to minimize all costs whatever the results so long as they don't require active user inputs. The setup is simple. We will never purchase any rainforest or the village. We will start by freezing the game as soon as we start a new game. We will buy two sections of soy fields, and set only one to use genetically modified soy (we only need this much for maximum throughput). Then we will buy a single cow section and leave one cow on it. We will only ever have one cow on any field to avoid ruining the lands fertility. We will then go into the feedlot, and add hormones and animal flour to the feed. We will then go to the store, and hire a single line cook and cashier. We will next go into the headquarters screen and bribe a health officer. Then we will unpause the game, and every 2, 2, and 3 months, at the very start of the month, pause the game to buy a new section of cow until we have 9 cows in total. When there are only Sao Jose, village, and rainforest sections left, we will bribe the mayor of Sao Jose, and continue the pattern until we have the 9 cows. (For reference, the months will be January, March, May, August, October, December (bribe Sao Jose mayor now also), March, May, July). Then move to the fast food screen. On February 2002, pause the game again, and hire the other two line cooks and cashiers. Go back to the headquarters screen and activate 'the food pyramid' and 'mcdonalds for the third world'.After completing this setup the game will run forever, gaining money as quickly as possible.The third method is the 'hippymaxing' method. This method is very similar to the previous method. We will start by pausing the game and buying two sections of soy fields, and one cow (again, only one cow per section). We will then buy a single cashier and cook. In August and then again in March, we will buy a single new section to put a single cow in. After March, we're done. You will never run out of money.Below is all of the info about the game I used when making my calculations about when and how to arrange cow and farmland purchases, fodder, employees, and bribes and advertising campaigns.McVideogamecows take 21 months to maturecosts 150 a month per sectionfeed takes 12 months to mature, appears in feedlot in julynaturally get 290GMO get 406 for 20 a monthcosts 150 a month per sectioncows take 280 feed to grow to maturity (no starvation)with hormones(10 a month): 150with industrial waste: 214 (industrial waste seems to be variously effective effective.

@lain if I had to guess it's probably some valve that closes if it thinks there's a leak in your stove or something.
