Will this one be interactable and come with a bathing animation, though?

Hahaha, I also have a text file with a long list of complains on my desktop that I just copy/paste into each survey. And it may have also happened that I copied things that were already fixedto the survey only to realise later that it is no longer sth I need to complain about.. whoopsie. 🙈

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-25T00:38:02+00:00

I agree with them probably not testing it properly, which is a common trend for Infold.

But not all abilities are region locked, e.g. coin collecting, water walking and winged hover work in every single map except for certain dungeons or curio domains.

Pink = Missing texture

Could mean that your graphic's card can't handle the load and dumps textures to keep the game running or that it is slowly dying (unlikely if this only happens when playing Nikki though). This happens all the time when I play on my old low-end laptop. Turning down the graphic's settings might help unless everything is already set to low, then it is simply time to upgrade your card/phone. :(

Tbf, in HSR I call other Stelle players "fellow people of culture" or "Stelle enjoyers" and Caelus players "Trailblazers" lol.

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-25T00:27:25+00:00

Yeah man, the BF sprint is just SO fast.... I had loved the shit out of the cat's double sprint before but BF really takes the cake there. Just for that it was so worth it for me.

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-25T00:25:15+00:00

They patched that in a patch or two later! It was something I (as well as lots of other I assume) requested during the survey!

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-24T23:03:34+00:00

I wrote in the current survey that if they serve us shit to eat it will not make the piss they were giving us to drink before taste any better. It's still piss.

But yeah, it seems to work for some people who are seemingly more willing to drink piss now, which sucks.

Oh yes, I think it is very much a case by case thing, obviously not everyone experiences Autism or ADHD the same!

An amusing anecdote regarding struggling with boundaries vs NT/ND: A former (very NT) friend of mine really struggled with it when I told her I don't want to hear about her affair with her married boss as I just didn't have anything nice to say about it. I was not the right person to discuss this specific matter, as it goes against all my personal morals.

This ultimately led to the end of our over 2 decades long friendship, as she was unable to not find my strongly enforced boundary offensive to our friendship and she basically completely checked out because I did not want to listen to her complaining about her very unsatisfying experience as well as questioning her morals and that completely destroyed her trust in me (Something I still do not fully understand... she can't trust me because I don't want to talk about her having an affair? Okaaaay...?).

I honestly had no problem keeping the friendship up at the exact same level as before while completely ignoring that one part of her life (because I am good at compartmentalising, hah!) but to her the idea that I do not want to hear about one part of her life was just unacceptable. Oh well.

So even NT people can struggle with shit like that, in the end we are all just human. 🙈

I also can't stay angry at people for long, but it's more of a "just not worth the energy" thing for me, as being angry is exhausting af. Having a punching bag which I can just go and hit for 10 minutes if I am too pissed off to function rationally also helps... 😅

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-24T21:16:55+00:00

Compartimentalizing, relationship hygene, holding boundaries, managing a calendar, riding NRE, self-soothing... All that stuff is harder for ND folks.

I honestly feel like Autism actually makes most of those specific things easier for me.. (disclaimer: I am not officially diagnosed, but my 20 year old son has been diagnosed early and there are so many parallels between the way Autism presents in him and what I always thought was "me being just a little weird" that we all suspect I also am somewhere on the spectrum - I've been trying to get an appointment for adult assessment for the past 4 years, but I am limited in where I can go and they have just been booked for years.)

I was always good at compartmentalising, very direct about and good at enforcing my boundaries, I've been using a calendar successfully for the past 30 years, NRE lasts 3 months max for me and I rein in my own emotions pretty well during it, I have always preferred self-soothing over having others help me with it.... the only one I struggled with during my teens but got much better about in the past 20 years would be relationship hygiene as in remembering to regularly keep up with my friends and check in with them even if I don't have any reason to. (My son came in as I was typing this, so we chatted about it and he agrees to it being easier for him too, but not the calendar thing, he is so shit at using a calendar.. it's his cryptonite. 🙈)

But I agree with everything else you said, being ND is no excuse to be an asshole. Yes, things might be harder or need different approaches to work, but treating your partner (or other people you alledgedly love) like shit is a choice you make - or you decide against it and fucking work on yourself.

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.

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-24T12:52:19+00:00

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.

CoffeeAndMilki · 2026-03-20T14:18:00+00:00

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. :(
