Box set pros and cons

The box set is stunning. Absolutely gorgeous quality. Everything down to small details seems on point. No labels out askew or bent corners or anything. The thing is immaculate. All the record colors look stunning. It’s entirely worth the price tag.

Only gripe is that the records do not come with the extra booklet that all his projects typically come with. Usually with lyrics and photos taken for the project. Private collection came with a post card as well which is sadly is absent from the boxset.

The records do all come with a single lyric sheet but they’re all just black text on white paper and all in Korean lol.

Still totally worth it imo but if you were thinking of selling single copies you may have of records and replacing them with the boxset to offset the cost of the boxset just know you’d be giving away a more complete package of the album. And if you sell the boxset version just know the box is numbered and each record has the corresponding number on it too so if you swap out the old record into the boxset it’ll be missing the number (if that sorts thing bothers you cuz it would drive me nuts lol)

Congrats to those who copped. 🫡

That delivery time was insane! Ordered 6pm on Monday and delivered from Korea to California by 3pm Thursday! 🤯

3 minute dashless 1A

I’m not a speedrunner at all but after accomplishing the dashless I was having fun playing that way and wanted to try and get a clip short enough that PlayStation would let me save it which means 3 mins or less. I got my attempts down from 8+ to 3 on the dot!

How fast are yall able to pull it off? (Probably way faster since yall are pros up in here huh? 😅😂)

Anyways I was stoked so figured I’d share. Might keep tryna cut it down we’ll see.

Yall were right. Got 7cg ☺️

Welp, I was in here last week talking about how insane gold strawberries seem (and after replaying the game again on switch and it still taking me 750 attempts to beat 6b I still stand behind) it does seem yall were right about 7c golden strawberry!

I went in yesterday and it took me 90 minutes just to beat screen 3 again (not golden). In the midsts of it I thought for sure it wasn’t gonna happen for me but I couldn’t put the damn game down and figured I’d give it an hour a day for a week or so and see how i faired.

35 mins into today I did it haha. Came much faster than expected haha.

Thanks for the push yall.

Still can’t even fathom doing 90% of the others but it felt nice getting 7c’s golden haha.

Will report back with any further progress. 🫡

7c success! (Question about route)

7C took me an hour and a half with 523 deaths which I ain’t mad at.

Man what a crazy room! Upon first look I was thinking “yeah fuckin right 🫪” but the game does such a great job at increasing the challenge at a progressive pace that you’re equipped to handle the challenges as they come!

The middle c sides are some of my fav maps in the whole game!

Anyways, my route question is: after I beat it I went looking up other runs and I noticed it seems more common for folks to jump up and over the top from that last cloud whereas my route you can see here just went through the gap. It honestly barely even occurred to me to try over the top. Especially cuz the hole was right there lol.

Just curious how many went over and how many of yall went through like me? Is it an even split or did I make things harder for myself? 😅 cuz I’m not gonna lie, threading that needle took some serious finessin lol

Officially started C sides (and golds )

Ok so I was in here a day or two ago baffled by the skill ceiling of the player base and what the golds entailed.

I was on core-b.

Wrapped that up yesterday and moved onto Cs.

As expected first two A sides were light work.

Sadly 3A took me 3 god damn hours cuz I was having the hardest time timing the final head jumps. But I got it.

Also grabbed golden strawberry in 1A+2a

Also grabbed the “one up” achievement.

So I’m on my way haha. I still don’t see myself going for all the golds but a few aren’t too bad haha.

So I just learned what the golden strawberries entail and my god… I have been underestimating the player base for this game 😅

Ok so I had heard how much people love this game for years but hadn’t known much about it or the type of gamers that played it.

When I finally started it a few weeks ago I was like “oh this is such a cute game! Must have big casual fanbase cuz it’s so cutsie and the mechanics are fairly simple!

Even after beating the main game (a sides) I was like “ok damn this game did have some real challenge to it!” I started coming in the Reddit and seeing people discussing various accomplishments and start mentioning golden strawberries. I wasn’t that far but I assumed it would a similar challenge to the b or even c sides maybe.

But having now learned it means deathless runs of these levels y’all are insane haha. I didn’t realize the fanbase was full of elite tier platform gamers!

I gotta know what % of the player would yall say are getting any of the golds? What % get them all?

Playing through the Bs was challenging but at no point did I hit a challenge that made me think I wouldn’t be able to do the Cs and farewell but knowing to get the golds you have to do these levels deathless is a feat I don’t think I’m capable of haha. I yield to yalls excellence haha.

I might try and get a few of the early ones but I can’t fathom doing these b sides deathless.

This game is killing my thumbs and controller 😩😂

Only have the core b side and the farewell areas left before moving onto C sides.

Should I do farewell or c sides first?

I played farewell to til the heart gate but then had to go back for more hearts.

Just beat the base game and how god damn good is this soundtrack?!

I was so into the music as soon as I hear the game I jumped online to buy it on vinyl!

Materia Store is running a 50% discount rn on the 6 vinyl full collection!

What’s yalls fav tracks?

It is PAINFUL how bad gmw is…

So I recently got into the pod. Was loving it so I started rewatching the whole show along with the pod. Still a banger of a show.

Just finished my rewatch and am JUST about caught up on the pod in time for the finale.

Now I had tried watching GMW back when it debuted and thought it was pretty bad but also I could tell it seemed very much geared to kids in a way I didn’t feel like BMW had been (maybe that’s just nostalgia talking tho) so I chalked it up to just not being the right demo for it.

But having finished the series again I decided to at least go watch the episodes with legacy characters and my god is this show so painfully bad. And I honestly wasn’t gonna be as harsh on it but no lie, as I was starting this post I got to the girls attempting to do “the feeny call” and it was like nails on a mf chalkboard 😵🤮

I can’t believe Ryder even did this. It seems so below him. I feel like all the complaints he has about the later seasons of bmw seem very much at play here.

Anyways, just complaining to complain but damn lol

Record player won’t stop…

Anyone have any idea why this is happening and how to fix it. Sometimes it works fine but other times it does this forever until I just have to unplug the damn thing. Driving me nuts.

A lot of times it will do this when I try and start a record to. I’ll drop the needle and it will immediately lift up and try and turn off and then get caught in this loop.

It’s a Denon DP-300F

Is an rRNA test good for mgen?

Have a partner that got tested for it and instead of PCR it says it was an rRNA test. I know cultures are no good and pcr is preferred but is a negative rRNA test good? Or is there still a chance of false negative?

Ok but wtf is this trash ahh hitbox lol

I absolutely loved every fight in this game… except this one.

The hit box on this guy, ESPECIALLY this specific move is the most insane shit I’ve ever seen. Coupled with a slew of other bs in phase two, I really hated this fight. Phase one is too easy and phase too is too bullshit lol.

But honestly, how tf did this hit me… first pic is before I was hit and you can see where his hand is and where I am, next frame he’s further away from me and yet you can see the hit marker on me where I got hit. Like HOOOW?!?

Spent 17 hours replaying the game to get the future machine trophy and clay pot trophy (last two) only for the plot to never appear after resting 3 times so I left and came back and he was done and I missed it again 😵‍💫😤😤😤😤😡

I’m over it lol. I love the game and even finished it the second play through to the end again but I’m not playing a 3rd time back to back. Maybe I’ll come back in the future or something.

Annoying af tho…

When you get to the end of the game and look up the last trophies you need and realize the one time you took a chip by force just to see what would happen means you now have to do almost an entire second play through 🙃🙃🙃

Fuck. 😩
