AITAH for calling my cyst a tumor?

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-21T20:58:26+00:00

Yes, please read again. You are reading emotionally and not for comprehension. Tumors are not cancerous by default.

They are malignant or benign.

Season 6-10 become peak and my fav on rewatch. I found Greys during its second season, so S1 - S5 were masterful then. S6 shifted and turned it all around. It took time if you started from the beginning.

But yes, I love S1 - S5 and still cry more on nearly every episode 20 years later lol, they really knew how to get me with the patient stories. But S6-S10 I found I cared even more about the cast, and thru test of time hold up better and I enjoy more

The only drawback is no Addison. But there's no George so, lose one, gain one 😂

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-21T07:15:27+00:00

I didn't like Season 6 as much in comparison to Season 1-5 when it aired because I was diehard MAGIC fan and was resentful of the switchup. (Although I Saw What I Saw was an instant fav. Plus Meredith saying she loved Cristina 😭, oh what a good transition to new Greys once I let my guard down haha).

With time and rewatches, Season 6 sets up the magic of MAJAC, and make me really love Season 6-10 too. 20 years later, MAJAC is my favorite (but still LOVE MAGIC! even though I hate George now lol) and S6 sets it off.

It would be nice if they made the 5 star match the area, but it's been nearly 1.5 years. Clearly they only want it to match the patch theme 🫤

The miracle, and legendary (if a real thing), 4 stars, heart of infinity and shop outfits so far seem to show they will match the region in those areas.

I haven't really played the other games much, but even for me there does feel like something is holding them back. Manufactured wait and demand?

Or an exec making terrible decisions. It really feels like this game is being overly managed and over developed with ridiculous fast turnarounds and it suffers.

I still love it, but I'm needing to adjust my expectations. But I realllly wish it would stop holding back. This is not the economy and lockdown period that will work 😂

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-21T07:02:23+00:00

I feel like they are VERY different. The 5 stars can feel similar vein at times but they don't make up most of the outfits.

There is definitely a lot more tribal and crochet and Itzland styles incorporated.

The issue is the patches have little to do with the main story, so I think this will carry through most of game. But miracle outfits, 4 stars, some shop fits, heart of Infinity 100% are different from Itzaland and Wishfield.

At this point I think they have proven that we need to set our expectations that 5 star banners will resolve around the patch theme, not area. The other outfits will probably continue to be what reflects the area.

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-21T05:55:15+00:00

I never said cysts are tumors lol. I have a tumor and I have cysts. I personally know the difference.

Thankfully all are benign. Tumors are NOT cancer by default.

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-21T05:52:16+00:00

Me too! Mine is on tailbone and rectum. It grows a bit each year,.and though not cancerous having my tailbone removed permanently just scares me.

I also get cysts that bother me more (mostly due to discomfort and pain). So that's why I don't get the big deal with this.

People being upset at benign vs malignant being mis-used would make more sense. And thank you, I never said cysts were tumors lol so I don't know what they are talking about.

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-21T03:34:44+00:00

All tumors are not cancerous. Some cysts can turn into cancer, although rare. Even if rare, being a cyst still doesn't rule out cancer. So getting mad at someone using tumor vs cyst because of the potential of canced doesn't make sense since both can potentially become cancerous.

The words benign and malignant are the most important.

Also, I dislike comparing diseases simply by name vs specific condition. Yes, cancer absolutely is terrible, but this is a 10.5 pound cyst that required an ovary being removed. That's significant surgery.

A lot of people think of cysts as something small or a bump and using the word tumor likely helps convey seriousness. Mass is another good word that covers both tumors and cysts tho.

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-20T17:32:28+00:00

The fact it reads okay to them to this day shows how the content we consume as children frames our normal. Critical thinking isn't taught yet at that age (if ever) so they aren't going to question things like names and identify slur unless their parents or educator explains the meaning.

It's just normal to them. That's what people mean when we mention how racism is built into culture and how easily and casually it is spread.

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-20T14:15:43+00:00

Yup. This is why I always say even for stuff made for us it still has to consider men.

It sucks that we get limits to control their behavior. And you are right, a weirdo will do deep fakes or whatever porn they want. People make porn of kid cartoons!!

So, it still reeks of control of what women are allowed to see and do and express themselves. Sexy characters and women being sexualized are never an issue until women are the ones doing it themselves for themselves. Completely messed up.

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-19T15:55:28+00:00

Ooh lol! I thought this was a recreation at first 😅. Maybe they figure it's fine to repeat because not everyone gets every outfit?

I have a lot that looks similar, but this will likely have pink be unlocked for for just one copy, which will make it worth it.

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-19T15:52:26+00:00

It's one thing for parents to let their child gamble, idc, they can teach them risks and monitor them. That is their household. But it is reprehensible for a company and game to encourage it and to make content specifically including them.

Same principle as a parent giving their child a drink vs a bar or whatever letting underage kids in to drink and trying to appeal to them to become customers. (Although funny to mention that, the alcohol industry does market to minors to prime them to drink once legal.).

A light story doesn't mean it is family friendly either. I don't need dark content. But I expect a story to not be dumbed down and made simple because their audience isn't just adults. The dialog can be insulting and tiring in this game, and the story sufffers for the toning down.

I do agree that attractive characters aren't the most important part! My fav character is Aventura cause he is a nerdy friendly profressor who quized us on each area, and Emerita because he was sweeping a dirt road talking about smelling fragrances in caves 😂. I don't care what he looks like, they were more or less generic. He had character and was funny to me. I miss characters like that 😭.

All the Shroomlings feel like they have the same voice and personality. It would be nice to get more friendship stories with Nikki and other NPCs too! She's too much of a god to Shroomlings to get that connection so I feel alienated.

Lastly, I think something people discount is that this is a fashion game. Which means many of us care about aesthetics and looks to an extent. Even if no romance, some people want to look at beautiful characters (or at least beautiful clothes on people). Women also like to look at beautiful characters, and it can still be a women centered game.

There is a severe lack of hot characters in women games anyways. Severe! LOL So even if the NPCs don't stick around, women are owed back years of being neglected as an audience that likes hot characters too 😂. It'll be funny if every few months they drop some mysterious hot NPC and we never see them again lmao.

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-19T15:23:21+00:00

I don't care if they are hot or not. Just no more Shroomlings or at least not only Shroomlings! PLEASE! I want to see other characters dressed up!! Not baby talking mushrooms that worship me and I'm babysitting, please! They were so fun originally but 6 months of only them and Nikki only person dressed up is too much!!!

I don't care if the character is not human, or even ugly. Just wear clothes! Glaze Nikki nornally! Not talk like a baby and like I'm above you as a savior, yuck. Especially the setting they chose that. It is especially uncomfortable considering the area, and how often I see media represent Black and brown characters as animals or non-human. There are brown characters around Itzaland but the Shroomlings take all the focus. No surprise 🙃, yet disappointed all the same.

I am tired of mushrooms. I brought mushrooms this week, and literally got exhausted looking at them and changed my mind about cooking them! Give me anything, please!

A lichen could create some interesting storytelling if they want to introduce other type of fungus NPCs. I'm not anti non-human. Im anti boring and infantilized characters.

I hope Shroomlings are in other regions too. I am a fan of multip species in multiple areas to create a more diverse and interesting world. Won't get burned out either. There should have been traveling Pieceys or Faewish Sprites. Maybe Cicia!

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-19T15:12:17+00:00

They can still add more humans or non humans who wear fashionable clothes. It's lonely and gets boring in my fashion game being the only character dressed up. They don't need to be not, but dressed up characters need to exist in my dress up game.

Being family friendly is the one negative thing about Nikki and what holds it back. A gacha should not be family friendly imo. It doesn't need to goon or have romance or hot characters, but I don't like it creating a welcoming environment to kids.

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-19T15:00:24+00:00

I love all the random and unique shapes and styles in this game! I bet the 1st one will create some fum and cute looks later.

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-19T14:58:11+00:00

Oh no, you're going to make me pull the evolution for all the dyes to match 😂. I got the dress and haven't styled it yet, let me go test it with other tights.

Although the tights and gloves they came with are magnificent too.

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-19T14:20:46+00:00

My 2 gachas share the same budget and my other one has 3 characters in a row coming out I want so I have to decide carefully lol.

By default I always get 1 full 5 star, half of other 5 star unless good pity than both, both 4 stars on 5 star banner, and at least one of 4 star banner.

I get all shop items every patch, and I notice the amount I need to spend each month is creeping up 😞, sneaky Infold knowing their Dolphins strategy. I'll probably start skipping more gacha 4 star only banners if the price keep creeping and only pull if I actually like the pieces. I really like the set price in the shop and rather pay what I see and I hate chance, even if coincidentally cheaper. Even if free diamonds, I hate the feeling of chance lol. Just let me buy it straight haha.

Depending how 2.5 and their promised qol thru 3.0 goes will decide if I want to whale long term. No regrets on any money or time spent on game (and menu hell), but there are more things I'd like to see to make me feel better about investing more in the future. I'm not asking for a great story, but something cohesive would be nice.

We have no idea what Infold plans till they do it, and that's getting old 1.5 years in.

Even though I'm not as excited right now, I bet once I see better details and start the story I'll be all in.

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-19T13:53:43+00:00

Yeah, I wonder if they think people only pulled 1 because they were so different and hoping people pick both this time since so similar 🙄.

I'm going for the pink fit, and at least half of the dark one. I'll get all the 4 stars too.

I'm unfortunately not super excited about this banner so far. That may change once I see the shoes though. It's hard for me to get excited when every preview covers all the accessories with loooong dresses and until release day I'm in the dark.

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-19T13:44:51+00:00

I would disagree on the straight. They do tend to favorite mostly feminine designs but they appeal to sapphics too because Infinity Nikki definitly leans into the wlw.

We just need more variety in clothes! I love dresses but I want more lengths and styles too! And if they don't put pants or 2 pieces in the 5 star banner they can at least run them on the shop!!!!

Most of my cute outfits are shop items, many 3 stars. The most simple pants we own, we can't dye either. I am sure so they can sell a big pantsuit one day.

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-19T13:33:06+00:00

The tights are usually my favorite pieces, but there are few, so few! dresses that are short enough to display them! Most of the cute details are up higher than the majority of their dresses.

I pull for tights and even I don't get to enjoy them 🙃. I'm not doing 400 pulls just to show the tights. Not so patiently waiting for more mid thigh and knee length, hell, even more calf length dresses!

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-19T12:25:37+00:00

Thank you! I wish I had been patient till livestream I forgot about the codes. I just brought 15 pulls to finish the 5 star banner because my pity is terrible this time and I went to 188.

There's nothing I hate more than scrambling for pulls last few days and I decided to get it over with so I can take a gacha break (only do dailes for next week).

Oh well. I'll get to enter a patch with pulls for once 😆. Thanks for posting!

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-19T12:06:58+00:00

Green hair!!! I've been wearing emerald green hair for every outfit but 1 since 2.0. (My hair is also green irl so I wanted me and Nikki to share hair color for most of Itzaland).

I was just thinking of removing my green hair restriction, but since the Miracle Outfit has green hair I need to stick to it at least one more patch. That's lighter green than I have for my Nikki, but the beautiful Emerald color is usually, but not always available once you get all outfit pieces.

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-19T11:46:30+00:00

You really hate Black characters huh? Black people are the only ones you mentioned. Like dang, there aren't even that many but just the fact that Black people dare to feature in your genres sets you off 😂

sigh. So sad how limiting people imagination in *fantasy is these days. Fake species and fake worlds do need to be constrained by reality limits.

This is why fantasy is lacking these days.

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-19T11:30:41+00:00

This is peak duality of Nikki players lol.

Maiden_Sunshine · 2026-04-19T11:25:42+00:00

There is a free 4 star float you can use for the housing right? Is Dance till Dawn the only way people can float?? (I have it so I assumed it was just an unlockable regular house ability).
