#Arknights Contingency Contract # 12 Basepoint Roundup
At long last, the curtain is closing down on this event...let's go out with a bang (or not)
(2023-10-03 - 2023-10-15)
Day 1-2
I wanted to do maleknights, but it was way too hard! I don't know why I kept failing 😭
Maybe DP issues (caused by lack of pots)...
I'm too lazy to try to figure things out myself so Oyuki it is in the end
Day 3
First is d도롱's strats, chaotic
Second is a combination of that and いもの倉庫's strats (cause I want to use Vigil and Chongyue), it's much cleaner but I leaked one anyway lol
Yes I forgot to S1M3 Enforcer and Puzzle, I'm sorry 🙈 S2M3 already though. On it now
Day 4
d도롱's strats cause I want to use Vigil 😆 and it's like the usual strats I did many times before. God bless Lee, Lumen, Passenger, and Ebenholz as always
I love this map, it tends to be a breeze lol
Day 5
d도롱's strats - fun, neat, and easy
I never thought of having Lee hold the left lane before. He did it well. It's funny to see him pushed the enemies like going "one by one, kids!" lol
And Hung once again got blasted on his face 😂
CC#12 RISK 18+19 WEEK 1 MALES ONLY ACHIEVED!!!! MALEKNIGHTS SUPREMACY!!
It's the last CC so I tried going over risk 18 for once
Using Hellagur to fight avengers, praying for his dodge RNG...(CC Beta war flashbacks)
It's better this time thanks to Gnosis' help, thankfully
Original strats: https://bilibili.com/video/BV1gm4y1k7Ne/
The original strats is risk 20 so I tried it but lack of pots hurts ;w; so risk 19 it is...for now. I might try other things later, who knows
My risk 18 run was breezy, in one try, but I screwed up the timing on risk 19 lol
Recorded video:
Day 6
d도롱's strats again
Mizuki got blasted on his face lol I'm so sorry 😂😭
I did an oopsie and let 1 leak lol but no problem~
Day 7
d도롱's strats again
I can probably whip out something of my own but eh, I'm too lazy lol. This works well. Easy
Day 8
d도롱's strats as usual
Puzzle is now S1M3!! \o/
I thought I S2M3'd Qanipalaat already, whoops. But it doesn't really matter here. Whatever works~
Day 9
Oyuki's strats but maleknights cause I was too lazy to replicate d도롱's strats lol (seems fun but too lazy)
Kinda messy and Sesa can be kicked out but whatever works~
I managed to get a clearer run! It's so fun lmao. Kicked out Sesa, replacing him with SA (for his talent only)
The sheer damage Vigil did, holy shit, I forgot he could do that
Recorded video of a clearer run:
Day 10
d도롱's strats but I added SilverAsh just because
Kinda messy and I used everyone here lol but whatever works
This time, the tags didn't spark joy (;w;)
Day 11
Inspired by d도롱's strats, just changed Stainless to Thorns (sorry, too lazy to use him lol) and added Elysium, and changed the tags
I kept Flamebringer cause I haven't used him in a while and it's funny to see him getting blasted 😂
Day 12
d도롱's strats, just changed Courier to Elysium, and let 1 leak lol
Got kinda chaotic but whatever, whatever works (my mantra lmao)
It's interesting to use Chongyue here
Day 13
At first, I wanted to use d도롱's strats as usual (maybe modify it a bit), but then I saw Oyuki's AFK strats and it's surprisingly maleknights?! So used that instead. There's Iceman 2 (SilverAsh) anyway. Perfect! Easy and chill! 😆
Medal set complete!
Day 14
d도롱's strats, a revenge for day 1! I did an oopsie so it got chaotic and I leaked enemies lol but whatever works~
That Corroserum lane is very nice
And thus the curtain closes on CC...goodbye, I won't miss you, thanks for granting me a chance and avenue to be a (seasonal) maleknights player though. Dunno if I'll do maleknights after this, I'm too lazy for that lol but I'll keep collecting and raising them as I always haveFold

Watched the long-awaited Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine #anime #movie today!! While wearing the Bourbon shirt collab with Uniqlo (which I forgot to post back in May) hehe 😊
Once again failed to get the collectible tickets (well duh it's week 2) but at least I got the A2 poster!!
Fun story: I saw 2 girls reacting to the Conan stand and thought they're going to watch it too. While lining up for tickets, I noticed one of them wore the exact same Bourbon shirt as me. 😂 Fellow Amuro stan omg!!
Even better, it turned out we sat next to each other!! 🤣🤣🤣
Unfortunately we didn't talk much, only a bit about the confusing seat number placement (which they mistook), but it was still pretty wild and nice
Update 2024/08/16:
I watched the movie again today (yesterday), this time with my sister, who hadn't seen it lol. Surprised it's still around
Pretty sure this is my first time rewatching a movie still running in cinemas
From this rewatch, I still enjoyed it and I noticed a few things, a new insight
Anecdote: We went to the cinema's bathroom after the movie. I almost got stuck in the stall LMAO. The door was so firmly shut/stuck and it was very hard to pull it inside. I noticed the door isn't full-length so I stuck out my foot to try to push it from outside, only to fail. But then a kind stranger pushed it open for me. Crisis averted. Tskr 🥹🥹🥹

#Girls_Frontline x "Zombie Land Saga Revenge" collab has ended, so I want to lay down some of my thoughts here, especially as a fan of both series
(Obviously no livetweet this time cause I'm lazy lol)
GAMEPLAY
It's very interesting to have raising stat game (hello, Idol Manager?) with multiple endings instead of the usual. It gets a bit repetitive but I found it fresh and fun.
The mini-games are pretty slick and fun too, though I'm bad at them lol.
GAMEPLAY NOTES
I got Ai in 46 runs and Junko in 38
The costumes are great too! I'd complain about it real money only, but from what I know, that is decided by the IP holder. Can't be helped. 🥲 I wish I could've brought everyone's costumes...
STORY
As expected from MICA, the writing is good, flowing nicely. The absurdity perfectly embodies ZLS' brand of comedy, showing knowledge and appreciation of the original material.
It's a pretty light, enjoyable read.
It's mostly comedy, but there are also painful moments, like when Commander realized Kalina and her Dolls don't remember them, and the sad/bad endings.
Naturally, there are references to the events in anime and I love it.
The structure (main story > raise stat on a location > story there > repeat) makes sense as a raising stat game with multiple endings, but I can see why it may be a turn off for some people. Especially with multiple endings and runs, it gets non-linear and chaotic.
Still, I applaud MICA for taking this new approach, making the collab event feels very fresh and new.
Is this all for Kotaro's appearance, though?? Really?? 😭😭😭
He's obviously the one speaking to Commander after each ending, causing the loop, but it's never made explicit.
There is no true end after gaining all endings. No explanation as to why and how Commander came to Saga, what's Kotaro's deal is, whether it's real or not, etc. So despite the fun journey and cathartic endings, the lack of real resolution makes me feel a bit empty.
Like...what, that's it??
We only know that it's related to the game Commander is playing, that is somehow sentient by choosing options on its own.
I don't mind open endings, but I didn't expect it here. I don't know what to make of it - I'm conflicted.
CHARACTERS
The main story barely highlights any girls, but the character stories make up for that somewhat. I'd like the stories on locations to be longer, but I understand why it isn't. Still, together, Franchouchou shines bright as idols. You can't help but to cheer them on.
As a fan of ZLS, though, I'm biased lol.
Special mention to G11? being a fun and pretty wild side character.
Also, this sprite used for various NPCs have no reason to be so handsome, damn it!! I love him. 😂 😭
MUSIC
I love the music! It's a bit too bad there isn't Franchouchou's songs at all, but the rearrangements of GFL's songs are neat. The butchered translations though...lmao.
CONCLUSION
All in all, it's a light and enjoyable event. Palate cleanser. I'm very happy to see yet another of my favorite series collaborated with GFL! It's wild. Thanks, MICA.
I didn't say this because it's only natural, but I love the artworks, including the CGs. They're great!
Extra: Yugiri mentioning her friend made me go 🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭

Me a few hours ago: I'm getting ill again. I should sleep early today and slowly fix my sleeping schedule for real...
Me at 02.30 AM: I FOUND A REVERSE HAREM MANHWA WHERE THE PROTAGONIST IS A HAREM SEEKER AND IT'S SO GOOD OMG AAAAAA I'M SHAKING I AIN'T GONNA SLEEP
It's "Heart Throbbing Conqueror" #manhwa!!
It's really a fresh breath of air, the (reverse) harem story of my dreams. 🥹
The protagonist actively seeks for harem members, upfront about not being exclusive, wants genuine relationships, respects her partners' opinions, and it's an actual poly harem where she dates multiple characters. It's so good, I felt like I reached enlightenment...the God of Harem Genre has blessed me with this goldmine...tskr. 😇🙏
I wanted to scream more but ended up pretty much reiterating what I said in a reply lmao. That sums it up well, so...
While I was reading it, I had to stop myself from screaming in the middle of the night, rolling on the ground, and somersaulting myself to the wall. It gives me so much joy. 🥹
My sleep wasn't very good but my heart is full...so fulfilled...this manhwa reminds me why I love harem genre so much. 🥹💕Fold

2023.03.14 07:07:50 Commentary
I was hesitant because I don't like the semi-realistic 3D models but my sister pushed me to try Love And Deepsace
I had a hunch from the vibes and style, but it's made by Papergames, after all! No wonder they have the budget. Infold is a cute name ngl (cause paper folds...lol)
Papergames made Shining Nikki (3D dress-up game) and the player customization is very detailed here (even voice!), but sadly, it doesn't have a lot of hair styles. Can't even change the color
I tried to make Serena from "Charming the Duke of the North" manhwa lol (go read it 🫵)
You have more hair options in photo-shoot for some reason (I didn't change the hair style though)
(Yes ofc I picked Xavier...maybe for now)
I wish the text box isn't scroll able, it's messing me up. Just cut off the sentences or enlarge the box, please
Though at least it doesn't overflow, unlike in Shining Nikki (it doesn't happen a lot, but it happens) lol
This game heats up my phone even in medium graphics but at least it loads quickly and it's pretty smooth all-around
WHY ISN'T SHINING NIKKI LIKE THIS?? THAT GAME TAKES 5+ MINUTES TO LOAD. SOCIAL MEDIA IS HEAVY AF TOO 😭😭😭
I am begging Papergames to optimize SN, thank you
Closing thoughts
I dunno if I'll keep playing it
The gameplay is cool and I'm very glad we have this kind of husbando/otome game, but I'm not very interested in the romance aspect (weird coming from an otoge player who also played Tears of Themis, I know)
Only time will tellFold
