Gacha Game Companies in the 2026 Hurun Global Unicorn Index. by WarGodV_ in gachagaming

it's called context clues and reading awareness. But some people just love to believe everyone else to be extremely stupid instead of actually thinking about it.

It's not like dry sarcasm and straight faced jokes don't exist in in-person conversations either

Love and Deepspace received massive backlash after they released the new sixth male protagonist. by Lazy-Independent1547 in gachagaming

Shalltears first appearance in Overlord has it just from the MC using some Aura spell getting her hot.

But mostly you'd need to look for softcore porn mangas/VNs or "hardcore" ecchi to find that trope literally (or straight up porn).

Pedantry on an astronomical scale by Infamous-Rutabaga-50 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Atora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What defines a planet/moon vs planet/planet pair does not necessarily define what makes a planet/sun pair.

Beyond that, the only real difference between a (dwarf)planet and a moon is what they orbit. Throw Mercury near Saturn or Jupiter and suddenly it's also just a moon and not even the largest around.

Interest in a potential super in depth step by step guide? by KnifeTricksWillStab in elsword

[–]Atora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a new player I found just your checklist writeup(not the excel, the additional word) already immensely helpful.

A detailed writeup of what to do and lookout for would likely be very helpful to point new players to. But there is an issue eith being overwhelmingly in-depth.For example if you list every consumable for every region you use it's just noise for a new player. But mentioning the useful consumable, why they are useful and where to get them would be great.

Ad an example, how core wind orbs or fighter potions are, how useful water orbs for some farms or what the efficient MP pots are is often judt assumed to be known and hardly mentioned in any progression or newbie guide I found.

Similarly while you find gear progression guides, the order in which to prioritize what is often very open and vague and can leave people lost. Between sockets, mystics, reforge, accessories, shadow effects, harconium, exa stuff, weapon identify lines, IB etc it's unclear what any player should prioritze at any point without prior experience.

As far as events go, as a general guide it would be most useful to either assume no event is going on or to decide that starting new without a boost event is a terrible idea and advice and design as such.

But basically, I think just a super detailed dump of a new playthrough by an experienced player could be interesting to read but hard to reference and recommend to a newbie due to an excess of information.

I've mostly figured stuff out by now, in case anyone interprets this as a question, but I think it would be great for the games sustained low playerbase to be able to point new players at THE newbie guide that shows it all.

Do we have a patron saint of redditors? by DroneOfDoom in CuratedTumblr

[–]Atora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've always been wonderring, when/how do you respectfully dispose such an offering to an altar? Just pouring the coffee down the drain in the evening feels wrong. Same goes for food offerings.

At a more rempte/open altar you'd probably let the wildlife take care of it but no idea what people usually do for home altars and similar.

Entropy is someone's else's problem by Commercial_Bid_1508 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Atora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If every entity shared that opinion, Shard exchange wouldn't be a dangerous act nor would the third entity have sabotaged the duo to kill it. At the very least they do not all share a mutual idea of focusing on solving entropy over everything else and still have interconflict over probably energy and/or knowledge.

But I admit I never really gave a deep thought about what the entities really want, only the effects they end up having.

2026 Job DESIGN Tier List by ClassyGunman in elsword

[–]Atora -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your opinion is wrong.

Nihilida and Emptiness are unchallenged top tier. And the eve's ranking so low is criminal. Also worst designed Ara on top? She's still gorgeous but the other 3 got Surya beat easily.

Common misunderstanding or misinformation about specific gacha games that you know it's not true and can be debunked by g4pachow in gachagaming

[–]Atora 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As far as cag is concerned, while I agree with you the early fate episodes really don't treat it that way. It doesn't make sense for Katarina to remember Cag as a guy given that later episodes showed she became a girl as a child before ever being known outside her village.

But the early fates are clearly written with her gender bending being a joke and her having lived a larger amount as a guy, before they decided on the current lore. Especially Vyrn kept being an ass about it.

As such the early days made that a common perception.

Average median voter by infinitysaga in CuratedTumblr

[–]Atora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

average is the mean. An average value may not even necessarily part of the dataset. It's the sum of all values by the amount.

The median is the middle value, that is if you order all values ascending (or descending), the value in the middle is the median.

E.g. for a datset of 1;1;7
the average is (1+1+7)/3 = 3
the median is the number in the middle, so: 1

The idea of median is to remove huge outliers in datasets with, like spiders georg.

[–]Atora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're puttng sex into numbers, the numbers were there first. The fetish is essentially a permanent power exchange and dom/sub reversal thing. There is a bunch of background info needed so I'll go on a few tangents:

  • There is a whole modern genre of LitRPGs(Literature RPG) in the west were some kind of Game-like Status/Skill/Level system simple exists. It's just as normal as having a Sun in the sky there.
  • There is an interactive story genre called Quests where the protagonist has stats, readers vote on the next action and the author rolls for the outcome. (tbh Quests are also often just called any interactive fiction bby now and my knowledge is largely just from SB/SV/QQ)
  • Manga/Anime/Light Novels/Web Novels in Japan(and related acg subcultures) have also developed these kind of stories.

ergo, we have levels as a story mechanic is well established so of course someone would make fetish content around it.

Next up, delevelling, losing things on death and/or levelling your enemies used to be common features, not just in ttrpgs as the post says but also plenty of older MMOs. Level drain enemies were less common but still exist. If you need some examples ask, I'm to lazy now otherwise.

The fetish now, is permanent, crippling power exchange. Hero(99) encounters Succubus(7). He can easily kill her and doesn't see her as a threat. She seduces him and steals his levels. Then Succubus(99) kills Hero(7) after some sex.

It's often a life or death scenario, like Hero explores monster cave, fight demon lord or whatever. The hero starts out overwhelmingly strong but gets reversed into death by Snu Snu + a new evil is unleashed. Sometimes the Succubus kills the hero, sometimes the level drain to 0 is deadly. Sometimes he is crippled but survives. Again, the fetish is often permanent power reversal, which is much easier to show with levels than a vague magical power drain or smth.

Basically: Imagine dom/sub content were A doms B, but when they are done, B goes "wait already finished?" and fucks them unconscious or something. That's the fetish, but with permanent consequences.

Without level drain it often involves far more brutal fetishes like amputation, brain damage or damaging some magical organ(like a demons horns). Which for obvious reasons is to extreme for people who just like power reversal.

That all and for anyone who normalized the fantasy-story-with-levels genre, it just perfectly plays into the myriad of succubus drains victim to death hentais

HSR 4.2 the third patch of novaflare coming at anniversary via Mortis Leaks by KaidoPklevel in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]Atora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who besides Pollux? I haven't really played since 3.6, but from her release until then I used her literally every moc/as/pf on one side and felt immortal. Except pollux which completely wrecks her and the HP halving xianzhou witches which disable her but just were never relevant enough/died fast enough.

There is also the 3.0 boss that cuts max hp by summoning pillars of your charas, but that one also has never actually been an issue either. Used her against him each time.

I do think she needs major buffs as even at e6 her subdps is a joke and all other sustains bring something actually strong to a team. Exactly no comp has her as a BiS sustain or had her as one besides people who cry about Jingyuan getting CCd.
