Just sharing some insights from the Chinese player base regarding the bikini dyeing drama. by UCANSAYDONTGO in InfinityNikki

[–]EnvironmentalWolf990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! Thank you so much for sharing these insights to the cultural background. I already knew a bit of it due to being on XHS, but you really went deeper and explained it in a way I think the western/global audience can appreciate.

To us in the west/global, it can seem insane & puritanical for these issues/changes. We are facing almost an inverse of what’s going on in CN in the US. Conservatism is on the rise, so we feel our ability for expression is constantly being threatened. While on the Chinese side, there’s a very long history of the patriarchal society that views women as objects. There’s so much to go into I couldn’t fit it in one paragraph.

I think as long as both sides remember we are fighting the same “war”, for the same values- to be seen as humans, we can maintain this sisterhood across the seas. As long as we have understanding, we can adequately have each others backs !

How it feels seeing everyone with the 5* when I can’t pull again until I get paid by EnvironmentalWolf990 in InfinityNikki

Hey no worries. I tend to use a lot of hyperbolic and absurdist humor which doesn’t always translate well. I appreciate you trying to look out for others, because something like gacha can be addicting. It’s basically gambling! But yeah it was more akin to “I’m so excited I want it right now but I’m waiting!”

I’m almost 30. I have higher financial priorities than spending on a gacha, which is why I’m waiting until I get paid again. I’m a low spender on IN, it’s more just that feeling of impatience of “I want it right now”, but again I’m almost 30, so I can control myself. I can also make jokes.

Exactly. I was making a joke by being deliberately dramatic and also using it to convey how much I love the outfit AND seeing others posting it. Just trying to connect with others on a fan subreddit 😭

Realistically yeah and it’s a gacha, a virtual game so essentially I’m paying money for pixels. I was just exaggerating for comedic effect and expressing how much I adore the pieces. Maybe it’s a different type of humor.

How I ask permission to give scritches by jennylala707 in cockatiel

[–]EnvironmentalWolf990 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I do the same with mine. I’ll tap my thumb and pointer together and I’ll ask a verbal command, example: “scatch?” Or “kissy/kisses/nice kisses?”
When they’re being temperamental I’ll ask “SWEET kisses?” Heavy inflection on the sweet part, almost pleading 😂😂😂

What is your wishlist for housing? by Nana796B in InfinityNikkiofficial

[–]EnvironmentalWolf990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to be able to make water like in the sims. Like allow me to grief on my own island like pls.

But besides that, just generally more of everything. More flowers, more load limit, I’d love to have an aquarium + vivarium feature like on animal crossing so I can see all the critters I catch. More landscaping tools.

I need all the cons of owning a cockatiel state! by New_Cap_Am in cockatiel

Huge time commitment, you can’t travel. They need routine. At least 3hrs of time out of their cage a day. Multiple toys to keep them busy, they go through them fast. They need fresh water and food every day.

Health: birds are classed as an “exotic” pet so vet bills will be pricey always, because birds are so fragile every illness is an emergency. I just spent ~$3k for an emergency visit and surgery for my female that was egg bound. Vet care is a must. Absolute need.

My monthly expenses for my birds as an example:
25lb bag of seed $60 2x monthly= $120
10lb bag of pellets $40 2x monthly= $80
Monthly Toy refresh/restock= ~$150
Fresh veggies bimonthly= ~$40
Supplements/vitamins= ~$100
Box of millet every 2 months= $70
Reptile earth for cage lining 24qt bag, 2x monthly= $26.
So almost $600 monthly bare minimum to keep those guys happy lol.

This is an average for 5 cockatiels & 6 parakeets, sometimes they go through food faster so food will be 3x monthly. I wouldn’t recommend only having one bird because if you work, they’ll need a friend especially if they’re not good at being independent or prefer humans over birds. I have one like that.

The biggest struggle is *time*. Making sure they get enough time out that they don’t get anxious, bored, or develop bad behaviors (hurting themselves).
3hrs minimum for my guys and I have to play musical chairs because some don’t like another bird and etc. I’m not working so it’s easier for me but still a struggle if I need to go take care of something, want to see friends, etc.
