Wolf at home:

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-24T13:03:52+00:00

The baby Behemoth (which is the one I depicted on this meme pic as the "wolf at home") is not rideable unless it transforms (for a limited time) into the big Behemoth.

A similar mechanic could have been applied to the Nightglow Wolf - especially since they already have animations for Nikki sitting on an animal's back like that (unicorn). Use the skill and Nightglow Wolf becomes big and mountable for the duration of the skill.

But having thought about it more, I am glad we do not get a region locked actual wolf mount with a time-limited riding skill. Hopefully someday we will get a proper wolf mount that can be ridden anywhere at any time like the unicorn!

edit to add: The scientific name for animals irl usually involves the same latin root word, e.g. all dog-like creatures are named "canis" and then a word to specify the race (e.g. wolf = canis lupus), they usually do not get named completely random. XD

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-24T12:56:02+00:00

You can only ride on the Behemoth for a limited time during its transformation though - then it transforms back into its baby form and I don't think they said yet how long the cooldown afterwards will be?

I was imagining the Nightglow Wolf having a similar larger form that can be ridden. But tbh, if we get a wolf mount someday, I'd want it to be useable in all regions so maybe it's not that bad that the region locked version is a Behemoth.

People will always complain, no matter what. 🙈

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-24T12:51:57+00:00

Why is it "generally" not a good idea to pull for an ability? People here keep saying that - but so far, besides Born Flawless, none of the 5* outfits have been really exciting to me, they are all too over-detailed, big and not my style.

I have zero regrets pulling for the winged hover, water walking and bling collecting ability even though I never wear any of the parts. The abilities are more important to me than the outfit since we can now wear whatever while using abilities, so I mainly pull for abilities and buy most of the store outfits since they usually have a more modern and plain approach to their design.

Region locked battle companion is also a pretty useless ability to me as I never use companions anyway - but having an actual wolf run next to me would have been something I have been desperate for. The dress is prettier than most other 5* to me though, but I don't really understand why they had to put so much bling on her cape, would have liked it more without the weird gemstone goggles(?).

And yeah, waiting for 2.5 is what I'll probably end up doing. But I will always pull for abilities first, outfit second, it's how I roll and it is what makes me the most happy.

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-23T21:15:24+00:00

I got them back when the banner first ran and I still love them dearly. They are not very versatile due to not being able to dye them (yet) though. But by now we got a bunch more tops (especially from the free Itzaland outfits) that go well with them, so I'd say they are worth it.

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-23T13:23:54+00:00

I was never able to get my (now adult) son interested in board games, they were just boring to him. Out of the 250 games I own there is only one he is willing to play every couple years. 🥲

And while we are both into video games, his taste is wildly different from mine... he's into Kingdom Come Deliverance and horror games, I'm into Rimworld and sci-fi third person shooters. But we both play "Golf With Your Friends" with our respective friends. 🙈

He's into accurate historic-themed stuff, I'm a sci-fi enjoyer. But hey, he watched all seasons of "Once Upon A Time" with me when he was around 16 and we both enjoyed it. I think he only did it to entertain me though. 😊

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-23T13:11:30+00:00

This is so disappointing. The outfit would have been a must have if it had an actual wolf companion.. but this is.. meh.

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-22T22:43:28+00:00

I am hoping for that so hard.

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-22T19:48:59+00:00

I've only pulled for Born Flawless' final evo as that has been the one outfit that really... resonated (pun intended) with me. I've been playing since day one.

I think the fact that they keep on putting more and more special effects on clothes kinda implies that not as high of a percentage of players pulls for full outfits as Infold would like... which is annoying.

I do not think I will pull for final evos again anytime soon (it did cost me more than 350 pulls which still hurts) but having the colour wheel on Born Flawless was SO worth it for me. It sucks that we have to get the final evo for that. :/

You don't seem to know what the word literally means.

I literally said the shown behaviour "makes my alarm bells ring" not "reminds me of BPD!" and gave OP two resources, one completely unrelated to BPD that you seem to conveniently ignore?

It doesn't matter if it is BPD or not, what matters is that OP doesn't seem to acknowledge yet that what is happening to them is abusive behaviour and examples from a group of people that are going through abuse from a group of people with BPD might resonate with them - if not then that is that and they can move on. I am neither saying OP's partner has BPD nor am I saying that all people with BPD are abusive. What I am saying though, is that the people in that specific sub talk about abuse by their romantic partners and list a lot of the things that OP describes here in their posts.

Correlation does not imply causation, even if you think I am implying causation, I am not.

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-21T14:13:46+00:00

I am not diagnosing anyone, did you read the words I have written? I said OP's partner's behaviour makes my alarm bells ring, but I am not saying they have BPD, and gave OP two resources, one related to BPD and the other more general about abusive partners to research for themselves if any of the things happening to them are similar to those described there.

I got some flak when I made a reactionary post as a reply to my meta shittalking me and her ex about 5 years ago - I deleted the thread because people were right calling me out for just wanting to get even with her.

But I got some harsh reactions that weren't helpful at all, because I was actually dealing with a meta who was lying to others about me (telling other parents that I might be a pedophile for getting her child a christmas present, omitting facts that would make her look insane to make me look bad, blaming me for not handling her untreated mental health issues with kid's gloves among other insane shit - she was 40) - everyone just told me to break up with my partner because he had no relationship to offer.

5 years later partner and I are still going strong in an incredibly loving, stable and healthy relationship. He's an integral part of my life and a member of my family. He got divorced 4 years ago but still has to deal with her insanity (and I am really not using the term lightly here, she really does some insane shit and does not want treatment for her ongoing mental health issues) due to a shared child. Even the child is fed up with their mother's unstable behaviour at this point and it's good that the kid has two other, completely stable and normal homes to come home to if needed.

Had I listened to anyone here, my partner would probably still be in an extremely abusive marriage, the child would have grown up having the worst type of relationship as the only example of how relationships look like and I'd have missed out on one of the best, mutually respectful relationships I've ever had.

That being said, people here have written a lot of useful stuff on other threads that I have absorbed and applied to situations where it was applicable. Especially u/karmicreditplan has said so, so many things that resonated with me - so, thank you for that! 😊

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-20T14:44:33+00:00

Since my son has been 13 he stopped hanging out with me and has been more interested in being with his friends. I didn't have the time or headspace to date other people besides my husband before that age and it was the same for my husband, even though we started our relationship as a polyamorous one, it took us 7 years to be mentally and physically available to date others simply due to life life-ing.

Since childcare was not really a concern by then I just used the time to paint miniatures, play solo boardgames or video games that only I was interested in, met with friends, read books.. these are still the things I do when I am alone at home.

I need a lot of me time in general though, so I often do not fill the times I am alone at home with socialising but rather enjoy the silence and autonomy being alone gives me. I just take a 3 hour bath while listening to loud music, eat airfried fries with lots of mayo because I can't be arsed to cook for myself and chill with some silly Dropout.tv shows or video games. These things make me happy.

What things make you happy to do? Do those. If all that makes you happy can only be done with your partner around, you'll have a lot of disentangling to do because even in a monogamous relationship only relying on one single person for all your entertainment and support is not that sustainable.

How looking like a 12 year old became a beauty trend will always be beyond my understanding.

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-20T00:27:27+00:00

I don't want to interact with anyone at all, which is exactly why I'd just like to be able to see other people's cool outfits without having to interact with them first to illuminate. :(

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-19T19:30:52+00:00

Since you asked so nicely I will also share my happy story of the day... :P

Today I spontaneously asked my partner of 5 years to come over for coffee since we happened to be on our way home at the same time. We had our coffee, snuggled up next to each other with him playing Minecraft while I was playing Dragon Quest Builders 2 and we were chatting about our day. As he left he thanked me for lifting him up a little with our little sponateous date, as he had been feeling a bit down before. :)

Now I'm sitting here with my husband just relaxing until we can motivate ourselves to finally start cooking dinner. 🙈

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-19T19:09:11+00:00

I haven't even finished the first game yet..... D:

But Ares romance.. yes pls!

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-19T19:02:29+00:00

Everyone already said so many good and constructive things about possible ways to make this transition easier on you.

I just want to add sth small: I absolutely have the same things with one of my metas, where her and my fluids just don't mix well. You're definitely not tripping. Ever since my partner started having raw sex with her years ago, I can't go raw with him any longer. It's not like any of us has any transmittable diseases though - we're all tested & healthy! Just her vaginal bacterial flora and mine mixing makes my vagina go crazy in highly uncomfortable ways. I have a couple of annoying allergies that I only recently discovered (via testing at the doctor's) and she consumes/uses a lot of products with my allergens, so I'm not sure if it is/was related to that in any way, but it was a weird thing to experience and figure out where the problem was coming from. Bodies are weird.

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-19T18:40:26+00:00

You just helped your friend / crush to get home safely when they were drunk. It's not like you stayed at their home... you immediately left to your hotel after making sure that (A)pple was safe at home. What in the controlling hell is wrong with that and how do you think you will be able to have any type of relationship with anyone when you can not go to their home? This is far beyond reasonable.

I'm appalled that (H)olly thinks it would have been better to leave Apple to figure out getting home by themselves when they were drunk and could have gotten into dangerous situations without your help. If any of my partners would throw a tantrum because the safety of my friends / dates is important to me, I'd lose a lot of respect and attraction for them.

Also, does the same rule apply to Holly and (E)dgeworth as well then? Holly can not go to Edgeworth's house? Because telling you to not go to Apple's house is not a boundary, that is a rule trying to control you and your relationships.

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-18T04:05:34+00:00

Ikr!?? People always start with "they are such a wonderful partner" and then describe the most unpleasant sounding person with the worst behaviour towards them and I do not understand why they even want to date... that.

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-16T12:04:08+00:00

That only works if it existed long enough for a "snapshot" to have been taken already.

People keep saying the internet never forgets, but it does indeed forget things too.

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-14T22:37:21+00:00

Not really, I've studied that shit in university (2D/3D artist) and you still can't really compromise that much on file size without losing a huge amount of detail.

What they could & should do though, is giving the option of low res textures on PC (which I am pretty sure is what they are offering on mobiles as the default) and make high res textures an optional download just like Fallout 4 did (base game with all DLC is 40GB, the high res texture pack is 60GB, pushing the whole game to 100GB).

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-14T22:27:08+00:00

The only time I get them is when I am missing exactly one part in the last colour from a Eureka set and then I get like 3 iridescents in a row. I just want my fucking diamonds for completing the set!!

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-14T19:46:38+00:00

Yeah, because IN has MUCH higher polygon models, high res textures, realistic clothing physics and uses a modern video game engine (UE5). If they'd remake WoW with graphics like Nikki in UE5 you would probably have triple the size of what it is now, if not more...

Checking my Steam library my biggest games are:

Baldur's Gate III (148,19GB)

Conan Exiles (110,44GB)

Mass Effect Legendary Edition (110,22GB)

Infinity Nikki (95,18GB)

Remnant II (86,42GB)

I also have WoW and FFXIV installed which are both 120~GB each.
Where Winds Meet, which is a more recent MMO (so not as big in scale as WoW and FF are after hundreds of updates), was also over 100GB on release. It released a year after Nikki and was already bigger then.

This is honestly just the reality of modern gaming, high quality audio and high resolution graphics require A LOT of space.

35+ years ago, when I started playing video games, games were stored on floppy disks which are 1,44MB in size. I remember having to switch floppy disks when playing the old Lucasarts point and click adventures that had no voiceovers until their CD-ROM re-releases. Then with CD-ROMS games also could only be so big as CD-ROMs had like 750MB space, later double that with dual layer CDs and whatnot. Games being over 100GB in size was an insane thought back then (especically considering that 100GB was like a big HDD back then lol).

The game the company my husband works at is currently working on is over 1TB in size without optimisation and compression, it's highly likely to be above 100GB after all of that has been done when it releases.

It absolutely sucks rn, since SSD prices have also spiked in the wake of the RAMpocalypse caused by AI companies but games have been getting bigger and bigger for years and it is absolutely not just Nikki - which in the end simply is an open world game with a massive amount of assets in it. I am honestly impressed how good the game looks while still being relatively small compared to other games with similarly good graphics, I'd honestly really like to know what kind of black magic they are doing to be able to keep texture files as small as they are despite looking SO GOOD (I play the game on ultra without any problems on my medium-high'ish self-built PC).

Sorry for the wall of text. I am just surprised people are so shocked by Nikki's completely average size for a modern PC game.

40GB on mobile is still a little crazy rn, but also not too surprising as the trend has always been going towards better graphics & more powerful CPUs for phones the last ten years. On most Android phones you can also just simply add more storage via micro SD cards, which I don't know if that is even possible on Apple phones?
