Love Live! School Idol Festival |OT2| Despair comes in a pink envelope

Why is NicoMaki actually a thing. Is it because people like to ship best girl with worst girl?

It's because, no matter what the adaptation, they always have an almost supernatural amount of chemistry with each other:

I only just saw the new UR pair (NicoxHonoka). all I can say is...interesting?
Might sound strange coming from me, but not everything is a shoe-horned romantic pairing. Every idolized SR is wearing the same outfit, they're all performing some sort of scene together, and the URs then just elaborate on two they haven't featured together before. If all cards had UR-esque backgrounds you could stitch them into something busy, but coherent.

No. Ew.

No. Ew.

oh by pair, I just mean the UR artwork/clothing and not the pairing itself. I guess the theme in general this time around

I don't like it very much. I was saving 150 loveca for a new Nico UR but ended up not rolling. The fact that the unidolized SRs from this set look very plain didn't help too

sorta feels like they're running out of ideas (as people have mentioned in this OT already). and we're only "halfway" done. can this game last another 2-3 years?

You thought Love Live already had collaboration events with all possible businesses

But had you considered a domain name registration site

http://news.lovelive-anime.jp/app-def/S-102/news/?p=8525
http://www.onamae.com/campaign/lovelive/

To celebrate 10 million domain names registered (and help promote the LL movie), onamae.com is having a limited promotion with Love Live through mid-August.

(take note while clicking links; the collab illustrations are slightly risque)

1) Anyone can visit the site and get a free desktop/mobile wallpaper.
2) Register a domain name and get a clear file for the idol of your choice (multiple domains = multiple clear files). Rent a server at the same time and get a bonus clear file with all nine of them.
3) Register a domain name, rent a server, and pay for a whole year up-front, and you also get a B2 tapestry with all nine idols.
4) Finally, everyone who got a tapestry goes into a raffle to win one of ten Bluetooth keyboards with the collab illustration printed onto it.

(incidentally, one domain name for a year is about $7.50, and a server is about $100)

So... how do you feel about KLab's homophobic censorship?

That change is so bizarre. It doesn't make a lick of sense in any context. Who exactly would they be offending by translating it properly? And there's more! Nozomi supposedly gets the brunt of it.

Nozomi: What are my likes? Looking at cute girls (Classic Nozomi) & You don't want to? If you don't then it'll just be me and Elicchi, the two of us all lovey-dovey heading home
are changed to:
What are my likes? Looking at cute things & You don't want to? Fine, then Eli and I will go as a pair.

they can't contain Nozomi's spiritual POWA otherwise ;D
then again in the Side Stories, I cannot tell whether we (the player) are suppose to be female (since this is supposed to be an all-girls school) or male (forgot which ones but I recall some of them imply or state so)

Did they actually change those lines after the fact, or were they changed already in the initial translation?

The Eli-focused story that we're getting in a few events is blatantly yuri, so there's nothing they can do to cover it up if that's what they're doing.

Also, what are they going to do with glee? Maybe that's why it's never coming out. :p

Pretty sure it's the latter

Lord have mercy.

Eli: Nozomi gave me a big bear for Valentine's Day. Isn't she the best friend a girl could ask for?
Nozomi: Eli's my best friend so I gave her a best friend bear. What do you think?

That's really good, using it as wallpaper now

THIS, SO MUCH.

I have no idea, but I'm running with it as a male for the time being as there is no indicación which one is supposed to be (though only because me, the player, is male in this case)

As for censorship, it's a shame it got hit with it.

Hm, didn't think this game would be censored like that :( Quite a shame actually, as a lot of the yuri stuff they tease is quite funny/cute, imo. Oh well, we know what they really mean :p
 
Ugh token event. Not sure if I'll try it or not. One one hand, probably will be pretty fun. On the other hand, Honkers.

I think the event will be a bloodbath. Everyone should be flush with a bunch of free Loveca and all the new daily songs will make grinding ever so slightly less annoying.

Even so, I wouldn't be so sure. Thanks to the last days, everyone should have gotten around 50 loveca at least, and I'm sure a good chunk of players did 11-pulls thanks to this. Case in point: I haven't used a single loveca, yet I am comfortably sitting in at place 2.2k right now (though I had a boost from getting a level up, have to admit).

Just realized EN event is only till 29th... That's weird

EN KLab is known to not work on weekends, and the 30th and 31st of this month are saturday and sunday so they either end the event on the 29th or the 1st of June, which isn't possible since it's already a new month.

So, with 3000 FP, it was time for another mass draw. Once again, lots of fodder, but again, some treasures were had.

I forgot the before card, but the after card is both pretty and amusing. Seriously, dat face. Poor girl.

The idolized card remind me of Himitsu Keisatsu/Secret Police. I like this better than the first idolization I got of this girl.

Coco's cards are always adorable, but I think this one is my favorite of hers. Idolized or no, it's super cute.

Another character whose cards are usually pretty cute is Himeno. Is she wearing Doc Martens in the idolized version? If so, that is incredibly awesome. I love mixing up styles when I design costumes for my characters, so I appreciate this.

Hmm, Ryo? Well, I never managed to idolize her before. I wonder how it's going to look...

Oh. Ohhh. Oh my. Um. Wow. This is... amazing. I-I think I have a new favorite. Hooo boy. I love this.

I'll be in my bunk.

Aaand that's it for another edition pf Pari's FP Draws: Too Cheap for Loveca.

Does anyone else have a Galaxy S3 and has issues with the timing on songs? I've done the timing adjust like 10 times and it still doesn't work, it puts me in the 38-45 range each time and i've even tried at 0 and 5 and it still doesn't work properly. It didn't do this when I was on iPhone so I'm not sure if it's just something with android.
