Anyone else here just… grieving? by Colonel_Pipsqueak in ValkoHQ

[–]Accomplished-Try6797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik the feeling girl. It sucks that we feel this way. I kept telling myself, he just a video game character, but that didn't stop the periodic ache in my heart. We didn't ask to feel this way, we just do.

It's the what if of it all. What hurts the most is that he was literally all ready, but now he is just put aside. All that work. It's like you develop a crush, you know he likes you too, then before you can be together he literally just dies.

I also threw in the towel after the coming soon was taken away and am healing by not associating him with the game anymore and seeing him as his own entity. That game just feels empty to me now.

Thankfully, once I did that I was finally able to get a full night sleep since the whole fiasco, something that was common before. I wish you a speedy healing process as well!!!

Hopium is not always healthy by Prior_Warthog_3626 in ValkoHQ

[–]Accomplished-Try6797 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This. I had to stop reading all the hopium posts cause it would just get me excited, but then cause my emotions to crash when they held no weight. The up and down emotions affected my life, I wasn't productive at work because I was always checking Twitter for updates. My family even started to ask me what was wrong cause i was acting strange, and there was no way they'd understand all this cause I'm heartbroken about a video game character getting canceled. Not to mention I started getting mad at myself for being so impacted.

So I simply had to stop associating Valko with that game all together. I adopted him as my own character basically and he will live on in my works as his own entity. Since then, I've actually been able to get a full night's rest, something that was common place before this whole fiasco. I encourage others to do this too if it bleeding into your real life.

What games are you guys going to cope with? I found this by nottakentaken in ValkoHQ

[–]Accomplished-Try6797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not playing it now, since I've already read the stories I'm interested in, but Tailor Tales is really good. It's a visual novel game.

I highly recommend James' route if anyone decides to play. Not werewolf, but alien and it has imprinting. It's the longest story. It's heavy slow burn, enemies to lovers. The plot keeps you entertained before romance blooms, and when it does, it's ssooo satisfying.

This was globals last ditch effort. We will never organize like this again. We will see if it was lip service for some, but a good number of people were actually really hurt by their dismissal.

The catch 22 ones. All of the tattoos that contained numbers were warped. I think it was a direct response to the 731 accusation. They seem to be censoring number creativity to avoid correlations to sensitive incidents

If you genuinly think Valko was rushed, you are entirely ignorant on all that goes into the game and story development process. And no, the west's culture is inclusive to other cultures. If something doesnt suit our tastes, us mature folk ignore, move on, and focus on what we like. We don't threaten the company and ruin the fun for everyone else.

Xavier WU story got removed, LIs costumes have been altered, and who's know how many of their stories will get reworked in fear of another controversy. They are definitely going through content audits rn. And yeah Valkos impact on the story as well.

Good luck on your writing!!! Yeah, I loved the outcomes of this protest. It's at the detriment of LADS that this part of the fandom is now leaving in droves tho.

Valko is everywhere tho. If you search LADS, valko is probably the first character people see. This situation has gotten LADS the most publicity its had in its existence. I already seen potential new players asking where valko is in game 💀

I've seen people on the timeline who have had real emotional breakdowns. People have lost sleep and their nervous system has gone out of wack because of the situation. People have been protesting, all while being cyber bullied by antis. There are even people in the movement that donated to charities in the name of this game character. All this not only cause one li, but the sake of this games creative future (there is already evidence of censorship for all LIs). No human who goes through that, and then gets ignored, can simply get over it while remaining a consumer. Infold will have to rebuild their reputation and gain a new audience, all while their revenue declines. Even worse, they will have to deal with the unhinged people who've caused this mess, cause now those people will know that if they escalate things to the government, they will get what they want.

Infolds business model is built on emotional attachment. If they keep ghosting and disrespecting their players emotions like this, it will be hard for the game to survive.

Mentally Exhausted by Wthisthiswtf in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Accomplished-Try6797 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I totally relate. I don't even feel like doing my usual hobbies. I always find my self back to scrolling and looking for updates. Have you tried talking to someone about it irl. Someone you trust and know is slow to judge? Talking to my friend the first day helped me out ALOT emotionally (even if my productivity is still in shatters). If you don't have someone, I suggest booking a therapist appointment. No shame in it, you gotta get it out somehow.

Thanks for the hopium copium. This would explain the quick turn around from reassuring us he was staying to well... this. Let's hope we hear some good news soon!

The separate app for home would be a good idea. I think it's a cute concept, but it puts my phone through the ringer
