We have our first real event in Neural Cloud! It looks relatively lightweight comparatively - structured somewhat like an Arknights event (shocker, right) with a series of story stages and a fairly simplistic event shop. I also absoluvely love Kuro’s actual livestream in the event page, it’s adorable. “If only she played like she talks”...
Some basic bullet points on what to expect from the event:
Story event stages only drop donations once. In order to farm donations, you need to do the challenge quests. The first one looks very approachable so this is more of an organization thing than an actual “challenge”.
Once you’ve finished a challenge quest, you apparently get a substantial combat boost, so that you can farm them more easily. Entering the stage doesn’t cost keys but collecting drops does (like main story nodes).
Be mindful of the event quests as they award additional donations! Every little bit helps!
I haven’t seen any indications that there is a daily limit on the number of drops or runs you can make at the event stages. However, I would discourage using keys or sand for the current farming stage. I’ve seen indications in a few places that there are multiple farming stages despite having only unlocked one personally, so it’s possible that they’ll open up later in the event cycle, and with how expensive the event shop is I have to imagine the drop rates will be better as time goes on. In before I am wrong heehee hoohoo.
Kuro is GAY. DEAL WITH IT.
Meanwhile, here’s a breakdown of what’s actually in the event shop you will be spending donations on. Bear in mind that there are three different sections to the shop - the first has the “most valuable” and unique rewards, the second has more generic rewards, and the third is the “hey you have extra drops? cool dump them here!” section.
in “Love Conquers All” (total prices shown, not per-unit):
15x Kuro Neural Fragments for 750 donations
15x Kuro Neural Fragments for 1500 donations
3 advanced search commands for 900 donations
150 neural kits for 3000 donations
Two equipment choice boxes for 200 donations
Two equipment choice boxes for 400 donations
Four equipment choice boxes for 1200 donations
Three reconfig generators for 600 donations
Six reconfig generators for 1800 donations
Event dorm poster for 200 donos
Profile card background for 200 donos
Clearing this section of the shop would cost 10,750 donations.
In “Die-Hard Fan’s Edition”:
45x three random equips for 2700 donations
20x blocks of 9000 xp for 1000 donations
30 gold sniper chips for 350 donations
500 furniture coins for 1000 donations
12,000 skill samples for 750 donations
12 skill pivots (!!) for 400 donations
6 lots of 9000 diggcoins for 300 donations
Clearing this section of the shop would cost 6,500 donations. Despite the name implying that this is the “die-hard” section, I would clear this side first, especially if you aren’t confident that your dolls are up to snuff. This is a lot of very valuable gear.
Finally, you can offload excess donations for XP, skill samples, or diggcoins. The conversion rate is about twice as expensive as the lots in the die-hard fan’s edition so you will want to make sure you’ve cleared those out before spending any drops on these. The total cost to clear both sides of the shop is 17,250 donations.

Today I went on my first-ever date with another lady!
We met on the dating site H.E.R after chatting for over a month and though I was terrified of my 1st date as a bisexual woman, I'm also so, so very proud of myself for going thru with it.
Overall, my date was so very kind, attentive, funny, and pretty! She gave me a warm, tight hug when we met outside the burger joint; we chatted casually as we waited in line (she thought I was shy at first...and I was!!); she insisted I order first; she likes her iced tea sweet like I do.
She likes vanilla milkshakes with whipped cream and I like cheer-wine floats; she shared chicken wings with me and I shared french fries with her; when I teased her that she's nasty for liking bleu cheese dip, she unironically bought me hot pleasantly mild sauce for my fries and insisted it was mine; we both made each other burst out laughing with personal stories and anecdotes; we shared some minor pain with respect; she likes red and sportswear and I like pink and Barbie; she gave me an even bigger, tighter hug at the end of the date...the kind that makes my ribs hurt a little and makes my back feel squished.
Just the kind of hug I like.
She thinks I'm adorable as anything.
I'm not too sure where it's all going to go yet, but I cannot wait for our 2nd date to a movie next week! Gah!

do you have a favorite fontaine character? 👀
Ok so like, multiple reasons I do not have a clear cut answer for this:
The thing about Fontaine is that they genuinely have such an incredible cast I legitimately cannot pick a favorite character. Like seriously this is such a hard question because so many of them are just AWESOME!!! Many are just well written, beautiful, so interesting, tragic, all of it
I am waiting for Clorinde's story quest...I have been waiting for more Clorinde content since Fontaine P1. Since her cutscenes with Navia and Wrio. I HAVE BEEN WAITING!!! I WANT MORE OF HER SO BADDDDDD BECAUSE!!! OMG!!! So far, she's had both such a serious and dutiful persona, but also she's so sweet and kinda awkward??? she also may or may not have family baggage because of her family heritage... If they do her character justice (haha) she might be one of my favorites
Ok currently the actual contenders for favorite are, like, Neuvillette and Furina. My stance on neuvifuri as a ship tho is a whole other mixed bag, but both of them individually are just so!!! YO!!! THEYRE JUST SO CHARACTER!!! Neuvillette, this beautiful, gentle, and truly dutiful dragon who learned to love humanity. Furina who's madness and goodness are what allowed her to fulfill her own duty. Man. They're both just so interesting and SILLY EVEN. Just wonderful little bbgs to mess around with.
Not to say I don't love Fontaine's other characters either. Far from it. I have not liked a character this fast ever (?) like I liked Chevreuse in just one event. Chevy is so goofy and passionate and genuine I like her a lot!!! Wrios is just. Such a cool fucking guy idk what to tell u man. He's both so chill but also godDAMN you do not mess with him. Navia!!! Such a lovely lady who's so strong, after all that she has gone through and all the responsibility she now carries!!! Truly girlidol girlslay girlboss she's incredible!!! AND OF COURSE THE TWINS AND FREMINET!!! Lyney and Lynette are such an amazing duo in their magic tricks, their agent duties, their siblinghood. Freminet is such a precious boy, please protect him he just wants to swim with the ocean creatures :<<<
Not to shade on the rest of the cast of course. Arlecchino (aside from being sexy as fuck) I'm also just waiting to see what else she actually has under her sleeve. Sigewinne and Charlotte are both nice and cute! By no means are they boring or uninteresting, just not my type, Chiori as well.
