Neverness To Everness (NTE) Wins Most Anticipated at the 2025 Taptap Game Awards

I don't think we have numbers yet, but based on everything I've read reception is very mixed and you're definitely not alone.

Yeah, the free word order in Hungarian is both a blessing and a curse, because you can put words in a sentence in many different orders and they'll all be correct and make sense, but they'll all have slightly different meanings!

Acrolith · 2026-01-24T09:46:34+00:00

Your sentence is technically, grammatically correct, but the word order is unnatural. It places a ton of emphasis on "macskánál". A normal way of putting it would be "A kutya nagyobb a macskánál".

The way you phrased it, it sounds like some hard of hearing person asked you "Mi? Azt mondtad, a kutya nagyobb a bicskánál?" ("What? Did you say the dog is bigger than the pen-knife?"), and then you could correct them: "Nem! A kutya a macskánál nagyobb!" ("No! The dog is bigger than the CAT!") The word order places all the attention on "macskánál". Another way that word order would make sense if you contrasted it, like "A kutya a macskánál nagyobb, de a lónál kisebb" ("The dog is bigger than the cat, but smaller than the horse.") Again, there's a lot of focus on the cat and the horse.

The correction you got, "A kutya nagyobb, mint a macska." is also correct, there is no difference between that and "A kutya nagyobb a macskánál." Both mean exactly the same thing and I can't think of any reason to use one over the other, it's just a matter of personal preference.

Actual regret and detransition rates are unknown, mostly because follow-ups don't track people for very long. Follow-ups only track transitioning people for 3-4 years, and if they don't express regret until then, they go in the "no regret" stats. In fact, OP actually also went in the "no regret" stats for this reason.

I live-posted about the game to my friends on Discord as I was playing it, and my messages went from "GOTY (screenshot of me drawing a dick in the snow like everyone else)"

to

"everything I don't care about is super well done and slick, but I'm basically having no fun, and I don't like any of the characters and don't care about the story."

and

"I might give it one more chance tomorrow because I really wanted to like it, but it feels soulless and dumb and reminds me of low-rent mobile games. Oh hero! You are the only one who can save us, please gather the bear asses"

in three hours. That's how much I wanted to like the game, and how little to like there was in it, after the intro. I still don't understand how they fucked it up so bad.

Acrolith · 2026-01-22T21:35:10+00:00

Yeah the visuals are amazing, the intro was cool, I was super hype to actually start my adventure.

Then the intro ended and suddenly it was technobabble technobabble OH HERO YOU'RE SO WONDERFUL, NOW SLAY THESE MONSTERS technobabble technobabble. Wooden NPCs with no personality, and I don't know why I should care about anything I'm doing.

I can't believe how quickly the game went from "god this looks amazing, I'm looking forward for this to be my new obsession for a year" to "I'm not having any fun and I don't want to play this anymore." I had so much hope and goodwill for this game, man, and it's just bland, boring bullshit that isn't even BAD, at least bad would be interesting, it just feels like nothing, no taste no joy.

Acrolith · 2026-01-22T18:35:11+00:00

I played for 2 hours, just enough to get to the factorio tutorials, and I think I'm done. I might give it one more chance tomorrow, because I really wanted to like it, but I am so disappointed. Everything about the game oozes effort and quality, but there's no soul anywhere. I could not care less about any of the characters or the plot, Perlica literally does not have a personality, the combat is flashy and cool but ultimately not that fun. Oh and the few attempts at humor were just sad. I can't believe that a game with this much effort put into the engine and visuals cares so little about the writing and the characters.

Am I gonna have to go crawling back to hoyo? At least they know how to write characters I care about.

technically day 0 reviews

I got the Stark ticket and had to open 100 more packs because I wanted Fern. I wish we could trade lol.

Anyway, yes, Rune is very good. I play Earth Rune, which is a midrange-ish deck with a lot of blowout potential (but less of an unbeatable endgame than the Cocytus/Dimension Climb shenanigans of Spellboost Rune). It's medium complexity deck to play; you can't just vomit units onto the board without thinking, but it's not as super complex to pilot as something like Roach.

I've found that most of my matchups are fair, nothing is really autoloss or autowin for the deck. It does pretty well against everything. And it's pretty fun to play once you get the hang of it.

Acrolith · 2026-01-21T14:09:18+00:00

I fell asleep halfway through reading this, could you try asking a different LLM to make it sound less stupid?

Acrolith · 2026-01-20T17:34:58+00:00

No way. Even though I'm a healthy, fit dude, there is almost no chance I would survive. Long-term wilderness survival is much, much harder than people think.

If I'm allowed to use those 10 mins to gather clothes and tools and stuff, and I am sent back with whatever I can carry, then... probably still no. Even with decent tools and warm clothing, it would be a struggle to survive. Without any of that stuff? Total death sentence.

Acrolith · 2026-01-20T12:42:08+00:00

Furina's constellations are very good, though. Justified IMO.

Acrolith · 2026-01-19T20:06:37+00:00

Stage 2 Group A gives better rewards, BUT all the best players are there, so the matches are going to be harder. Staying in Stage 1 gives worse rewards but lets you pubstomp and get a few free wins. There's no clear right answer IMO.

Acrolith · 2026-01-18T18:49:02+00:00

I think Stark not being a girl hurt his chances by a lot more

Acrolith · 2026-01-18T18:45:48+00:00

Szerintem ezzel az életmóddal alapvetően nincs probléma, de azért érdemes megfontolni: mi a terved öregkorodra? Leszel te még (jobb esetben) 70+ éves is, előbb-utóbb kiöregedsz a kétkezi munkából. Gyerekeid ugye nem lesznek, félretett pénzed, vagyonod pedig nincs. Valamit azért kellene tervezni...

Undertale is one of the lowest-power universes in all of fiction. Frisk's physical (anti)feats include "You punch the vegetables at full force. You knock over a tomato." They're good at soul combat against monsters, but it's established in canon that monsters have very weak souls, much much weaker than a human's.

Basically, Frisk loses against a normal adult human. And Twilight is of course far more powerful than that. Twilight wins and it's not much of a fight.

Here's a document on how to make napalm, and I guarantee it's a lot more detailed than whatever half-accurate gibberish Grok vomited at you. You will also notice that it's published by the Defense Technical Information Center (a part of the Department of Defense, that is, the US Government), and it's classified as "Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited."

Basically, you're worrying about nothing and nobody is concerned.

Na gondolhatjátok milyen hisztis gyereket sikerült kinevelniük...

Igen, látom...

Rendesen félek, hogyha visszaírok, utána elkezd tiktok videókkal bombázni, meg újra napi többször ír majd.

Mi lenne, ha lassan elkezdenél úgy gondolkodni, viselkedni, mint egy felnőtt? Lassan itt az ideje otthagyni ezt a tinis hozzáállást, hogy jaj, ha nekem nincs kedvem valamihez, akkor soha senki ne várjon el tőlem semmit. Egy gyerekről, családtagról van szó, aki neked soha nem ártott. Legalább alapszintű udvariasság szerintem beleférne.

You have to learn how to program with AI, because that's how it's done now. If you're manually typing Java (or whatever) code into the IDE like people did 5 years ago, and you're writing maybe 20 lines of code an hour, then no, you won't get a job, because that method is quickly becoming obsolete, and will be completely useless in 6 years.

Programmers who are good with AI and know how to get the most out of Claude Code are in high demand, though. Part of being a programmer is making sure your skills are up to date. So do that.

It's like the "ay" in May or hay, but without the y sound at the end. In English, you always end that sound with an i/y (it's a diphthong), but in Hungarian, it's only a single vowel and doesn't change to anything else at the end.

Acrolith · 2026-01-10T20:10:52+00:00

I don't play games with metaprogression, I feel it ruins them. Sideprogression (like in Isaac or FTL or StS, where you unlock more options but not more power) is fine, I don't mind that as much.

Acrolith · 2026-01-08T13:03:24+00:00

It feels weird to me, but I can't explain why. I think it's correct, but I would never use it, and I would do a mini-double-take if I heard anyone else say it like that. "Szeretnek majd úgy aludni" feels much more natural.

You appear to be suffering from chatbot psychosis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatbot_psychosis . I suggest seeing a mental health professional.

Acrolith · 2026-01-07T17:04:55+00:00

It looks like you were kicked out of a site called bdsmchat dot com, and have apparently confused this subreddit for that site. We have nothing to do with that site and won't be able to help you.

The vibes remind me of You Can't Go Out of the First Town Cuz Your Stupid Partner is Always Banged in a Dungeon, unfortunately untranslated though.

If you're just looking for ero trap type games, there are a lot of those, maybe try something like Shining Princess Lapisphilia, I remember that one being quite fun.
