This is and will always be, my favorite Mina picture.

Wait a minute... Those two are just Sendai and UMP 45!

[Adventuring] doesn't pay enough to feed this big family.

I don't know what she's smoking, but if this milieu is name-checking Dungeons & Dragons (and let's face it, a lot of them are, at least indirectly), then it'd help to remember two things about its source material:

• In most editions of D&D, one gold piece is meant to represent about $100 USD in relative purchasing power; and
• Most low-level treasure hoards (the ones that rookies go after) will contain about 200 GP worth of coins and stable-value trade goods.

Assuming a four-way split, that's roughly 5 grand for a day's work.

(And remember: that's at low levels. By lower mid-levels, again assuming a four-way split, one score is the equivalent of a 6-digit payday. As for potential dangers, I fully acknowledge them, but remember: there's a reason Charisma isn't a dump stat.)

Alanis, killed by a retired adventurer

Okay, let's be honest, who the hell eats fries one at a time? What kind of maniac does that?

Bouquet toss.

We don't see her pov, but someone is definitely beating eachother for this special bouquet

And I caught her, first 10 pull and she arrived (uncanny level of luck since I just had enough carats for 1 full pull)

It's amazing really how a simple color change can so affect the impression one gets of a character design. If you didn't know any better one could easily takes these as their canon outfits.

It took forever but I'm glad to see someone finally posting MGCM CGs.

Reference

May she rest among the sea of stars

She's my favorite Halo character, wish there was more of her, thank you for making this reference sheet.

I think it's all the more impressive considering that Blue Archive isn't even a Japanese game. Would anyone have thought ten years ago, that someday a Korean IP would dominate Comiket?

Koreans opened themselves to global market while Japan chose seclusion which eventually fucked themselves over, looking at you Kancolle and DMM.

TBF, Kancolle has one of the most effective gatekeeping strategy, setting the barrier of entry so high that they don't need to bend to their audience just to be acceptable nor their fans have to act like complete degenerates just to fend off invasions. And for DMM, the site is R-18 and they don't want to be pressured by outside influence for the sake of their older games, they probably don't want to deal with online processing platform that keep pressuring website such as pixiv to adopt their policy. I know it sucks that KC will never open globally especially that they keep preasuring Japan to bend their knee to the west.

I think its better this way, just let Kancolle rest and have Blue Archive have its moment. Also Umamusume is from Japan so at least that counts.

The fact that it took 13 years for Kancolle to be upstaged like this is a massive achievement in my book.

It got taken over on the west side and it's awful.

Umamusume almost had it, but they are restrained by Cygame's policy, that's the reason they never produced the massive numbers that BA currently has now.

While this has impacted their numbers at Comiket, I think it'd be silly to dismiss Uma and declare the third wave to be entirely BA's, when Uma was impacting KanColle numbers too. I think it's entirely fair to hand the third wave to both of them, as they each captured parts of KanColle's fanbase the other didn't and in different ways, domestically and internationally.

Isn't it also the fact that everyone involved in the IP didn't really want the game to expand outside of Japan regardless? Paired with their initial plans of the game not lasting long to begin with, that alone gatekeeps more than the platform itself.

Now KanColle too can find out what it means to be reclining like Touhou has been.

Well, at least the therapist is going to be rich.

Despite her recent takes on her nsfw, I always wanted to see more of them since I know Deme

Hews pulling this move with more than a million followers is ballsy as fuck 😭
