Fate/Grand Order

Managed to secure NP 2 Taisui and basically everything I wanted. I have no excuse for not doing the event on time, I wasn’t playing anything else these past few weeks and college wasn’t even that intensive. Maybe I need to scroll on social media less…

Anyways, I pray that this will be the last time I slack (in FGO specifically, I need to get back to Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail soon).

The only exceptions to events being three weeks in the last two years have been lottos.

I got Super Bunyan in the first five-six tickets!? I was not expecting her so quickly, I still need the rats.

EDIT: The rats came in two tickets after the fact, are you kidding me!?

I'm kind of amused that Mary Anning seems to have the strongest kit of the three. Though to be fair I automatically laugh at the idea of a Quick Caster and don't even remember what Daikokuten can do.

They had quick buffs, heals, stars per turn, party charge with np charge per turn and party evasion and np gain for skill effects

Np was aoe damage

Did a couple multi pull to get CE and no new servants arrived. I honestly shouldn't have done it since I'm saving for Anni and Summer.

Oh this event is time gated. I'm gonna go clear free quests or something until a significant amount of the event is opened.

probably a bumped up 25 mil DL campaign with Castoria, blue apples (dump unused AP into 40 AP apples), and the SR ticket since NA's on a faster track than JP

I wonder what appliances Daikokuten uses. I can’t tell from a glance.

Edit:

You know, that whole mini-event that’s a weird diatribe against shipping and yuri combined with the unflattering portrayals of homosexuality in Learning with Manga makes me wonder if Riyo is homophobic. Because I can’t exactly imagine stuff like pederast Gudao indicating that he has positive ideas about queer people.

Okay, so Super Bunyan... I don't like her.

This whole "supremely incompetent yet super-demanding filmmaker" schtick is not funny, it's not endearing, it's just irritating. No wonder Anning abandoned her at the first opportunity.

Riyo has degraded into an unfunny shadow of himself, but in his defense even though Mash is super gay for Gudako she's still one of the most moral people in the setting (even if in LGO that bar is terribly low) and the only hetero relationship I remember from the manga, Anastasia and Kadoc, is not fully healthy either, mostly from her side.

Blavatsky and Altera (and Tamamo, who ships them) are mostly 'good' people (if anything Tamamo appears to be a better person than she is usually portrayed as).

All of that applies to until I stopped reading, as, as said above, I got fed up with LGO.

This is anecdotal as far as I'm aware, but I remember reading on reddit when this event came out in Japan that the players didn't like it very much because Bunyan's antics too closely resemble working for a Black Company.

The joke about Kiyo and Chloe pressuring others in the doujin biz isn't funny either imho.

As soon as the random townspeople were like "Oh, you remember our names, that makes it okay that you didn't pay us and almost got us killed" I pretty much tuned out on the event. Though it doesn't help that in the prologue they mentioned Mike Fink and then Bunyan's mascot character gator is named Mike and I instantly knew he was surely the event boss.

Woopsie just ruined one of my servants by unlocking the wrong append skill. Sorry Ryougi but I guess I would have benched you anyway once I got a Saber I like more.

The thing I seem to get from Riyo is that one of keystones of their humor is "Same-sex relationships are funny". I wouldn't even say that Riyo and yuri relationships are even something that is created for the Learning with Manga. One of the well-known works from Riyo (whether or not you even realize it) centers around the Ho Yay relationship between Haruka and Chihaya.

Now I wouldn't say that "Everyone in the Learning with Manga is gay", but at the same time, the only explicit straight people in it are Kadoc/Anastasia (the former which gets harassed by Gudao and some of Osakabehime's writing) and Riyo Saber (who is either a literal baby or a Dirty Old Man, pick your poison because he's barely even in it). Now part of it might be because of Riyo keeping the male characters and female characters separate from one another when they can, but then you get into the "Sexual situations are funny" thing. The only thing that really makes this prominent is the Four Lines, All Waiting story structure of a weekly gag manga.

Riyo really is just allowed to do whatever he wants for some reason. Like, "Learning" is honest to god complete nonsense at this point, just a stream of thought that long since became untethered from any purpose it might've had.

This event is kinda weird? Why is Super Bunyan so weirdly pushy?

So she can learn a valuable lesson about learning to respect the opinions of others I guess.

Having also tuned out the event and decided to just read ahead, apparently the explanation for Super Bunyan's emulation of Logan Paul is that she set things up to get herself punished/killed for her past misdeeds as a nature destroyer, but other than Mike Fink no one is playing along. Which still isn't a good or entertaining motivation story-wise.

I've gotta say, Super Bunyan doesn't actively make me angry (I'd push her off a cliff though) but I can see why the way she's written would grate the hell out of someone seeing as how she's awful person in a way that feels just grounded enough to be irritating

So far, I am actually starting to like Anning.

Mostly due to feeling like an underdog, having redeeming good qualities and how much she loves her "Nessie".

(In fact, I grown so fond of her that I gave her three grails.)

Also, I didn't know what to expect from this event but getting jump scared by Daikokuten wasn't part of it. What is up with that "Shiro Sadako" mouse!?

Besides, the excavation gimmick feels rather tedious. I know it is to get points but the drops are so small that it feels slow.

This is the first event where I'm going to start skipping the story. I am just completely checked out and do not care about this cast of character or what's happening. It's just really boring and repetitive. Maybe I'm getting burned out with these back to back events.

That seems to be the direction they're going in.

I just get a laugh about how they changed her from a child, to a teenager obsessed with social media.

About the excavation thing. Isn't this just lottery boxes with more clicking?

There's an auto button so people will probably spend more time being bored by the animations taking forever
