It's one thing to experiment with running a game on an unsupported platform, but when you are playing competitively (top 5) in time-limited tournament events in a paid gacha game, you absolutely cannot wait even an hour for a game that isn't working and isn't supported.
I was playing six accounts simultaneously in #DanMemo, and the only feasible way of doing this was by running six instances of BlueStacks on my PC, and syncing them all to one mouse and automating grinding tasks in the game.
Game developers, like most software developers, generally are NOT willing to provide technical support and bug fixes for things that don't work if you are not running on the platforms they support.
Before I started playing FFXIV, I spent 4.5 yrs playing DanMachi Memoria Freese #DanMemo, and for much of that time, ran it on the BlueStacks Android emulator.
Game updates would periodically break compatibility, and the devs absolutely would not support running on BlueStacks.
Season 5 of #DanMachi is definitely the best season yet of the #anime, and now we are coming to the climax. Episode 12 will be titled, 「継承」(Keishō, "Inheritance") with a subtitle of 「アストレア・レコード」("Astrea Record"), so if you know where that term originates (#DanMemo DanMachi Memoria Freese 3rd Anniversary Event), then you know who & what's coming next. Freya Familia just woke the sleeping Lion, and she will have her Justice.
S05 is apparently going to be 15 episodes.
This week's Episode 8 of #DanMachi Season 5 #anime is a bit on the boring side, but that's obviously because it's the beginning of the setup of the climax. The title of the next episode is 聖火の祭壇 (Seika no Saidan, "Altar of the Holy Fire"), subtitled "Vesta", and if, like me, you also played the #DanMemo mobile game through the 4th Anniversary event—Aedes Vesta—then you know what that signifies.
Shit is about to *go down*. Vesta is the keeper of the Divine Flame.
I have to say that #DanMachi Season 5 is definitely the best season of the #anime, to date. It's delving deep into Freya's darkness. I haven't read the light novels, so please no spoilers. I'm not the biggest fan in the world of the franchise, but I'm fan enough to have spent over 4.5 years (2019-2024) rabidly playing #DanMemo (DanMachi #MemoriaFreese mobile gacha game).
I've tried to read the light novels, but the translations were so bad, I just couldn't.
It occurred to me tonight that, since #DanMemo has gone End of Service, the main reason why my PC stayed booted in #Windows 11 all the time was so I can use #BlueStacks to have six instances running simultaneously and sync them to one mouse, to run 6 accounts in DanMemo.
Since that is no longer possible, I rebooted into #Linux Mint 21, ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, made sure old kernels were cleaned off the system, and I'm going to see how long I can go before I reboot into Windows.
And so it has come. After almost 6 years of operation, the North American servers for #DanMemo #DanMachi Memoria Freese, have shut down, as of 2024-02-28 2200 PST (2024-02-29 0100 EST).
I am a little distraught, as I have been playing this game since July 2019, partway through the 2nd Anniversary (of the Japanese server) event. 1676 Login Days on my main account—since July 2019, I have only missed a couple of days, due to long-distance travel for family funerals.
#DanMachi Memoria Freese North American #gaming servers End of Service tonight at 2200 PST/0100 EST.
March 30, 2018 to February 28, 2024.
Farewell, #DanMemo, from Avaia, Sariya, Fuyume, Akime, Harume, and Natsume. From Kyoto Sins, and Argonaut, and Tenkai, and Forsaken, and Aitoseigi.
Thank you to everyone who became part of my life the past 4.5 years in DanMemo. I wouldn't have have as much fun and frustration without you.
