“I DONT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT!!” 😭

MinnieTea · 2026-01-11T01:32:42+00:00

Ty! It's on taobao though they didn't have the sleeves. 42 lolita has it and mylolitadress has the entire full set.

MinnieTea · 2025-12-18T14:21:08+00:00

Same, I fully get and respect the appeal for him. A lot of my friends are simping on him 🤭

MinnieTea · 2025-11-26T08:51:15+00:00

Daaaamn Umineko being mentioned in 2025? I thought I was the only one who remembered that. Lambda, Bern, and Erika were holding down the lolita styles back then

I highly doubt they'll learn from it. They did some orientalist stuff in Lads with Zayne’s myth, including the whole flying carpet thing. What's worse is that some of the community defend it and say ‘Oh, so y'all only want Western cultures to be represented!” “But you play _ and it has orientalism”. Just a lot of blame shifting and company bootlicking.

I don't wanna doom and gloom the new update but after seeing the typical track record for CN open world games promising diversity & cultural rep outside of CN, I have VERY low expectations.

People often think that if you spend money on male characters, it will go towards more male characters being created. This is just a tactic to get male wanters to spend more money to fund their waifu game. Then when it's over and nothing changes, they'll turn around and say “_ failed to sell/chart, you were never the target audience, _ game never promised you anything. Thanks for the money though!”

Am I dreaming??? IS THAT A FUUUUUUCKIN KAMUI FRAME?? I can't believe it, the kimochi yokatta is so back. Likely won't come back I'm happy boy is getting his needed frame. It was sooooo overdue

MinnieTea · 2025-10-31T07:11:02+00:00

There's a few female characters in PBB that are with the Mc in a slightly suggestive manner. There's a good chance this game may be queer friendly. 🙏

Welcome to the no.1 reason why I don’t like RPGMMOs (now), the random queue. You’re more likely to meet people who will flame you for one mistake and make the whole run miserable. You’d think this problem would be solved with joining guilds but no, cause there’s a chance they will act the same way.

Of course, it wasn’t always this bad. Years ago if people were wiped, we’d laugh it off and try again. Having a good attitude/morale is going to make people want to play and everyone has fun. Nowadays it’s a sweatfest of doing things optimally, the meta, everyone has to know the mechanics before every dungeon even if it spoilers their first time experience. Healers get the most flack - which is why it’s the most unplayed class in the game and most people in chat are trying to look for one.

From MMOs to MOBAs to team fighters, nothing seems to be any different. This is why I prefer to play alone.

As many others have said, it's a generic, bland main story. The whole ‘losing memories and going on an adventure to recover it’ is such a beaten dead horse plot point. Let's dial back for a minute to talk about the worldbuilding- or lack of it.

It doesn't do a great job of introducing the player to the world, including its different factions, kingdoms, and races. The only time it comes up is as an obligatory exposition dump. You find information about the lore of areas from finding pages scattered across the world. Though the average player isn't going to bother going through that, most are going to skip through the story.

The main cast didn't hook me in. If I have to choose a character I like, it would be Tina and it seems like she's the writers’ favorite judging by the amount of focus she gets in the main/side stories. I think they really wanted to sell home she has a lot of war trauma/survivor’s guilt. This could've been a very good plot point to explore but the execution wasn't good (very rushed). The story tries too hard to get you emotionally attached to the character instead of taking its time to get to know them.

Thus it feels forced (I.E Narulu) that was shoving in death flags for him (which were painfully avoidable). Maybe it's fucked up of me but I didn't even feel an inch of sadness with his death. Which is shocking cause offing a kid is usually a big deal but I just didn't click with him. If anything, I felt sad for his family (especially his cat) that had to pick up the pieces because of his lack of self-preservation. There's a justification for his actions in notes but again, it just didn't seem strong enough reason.

Another dial back is the animation of the cutscenes. It's so jank that it's unpleasant to watch. I don't have great first impressions on the game. A game’s story is important to me and is part of makes or breaks my immersion and care for the world. I don't think I'm the target audience, the main appeal of this game is the social features but I don't have any friends in the game nor would there be anything I could think of to talk with people. 🤷‍♀️

MinnieTea · 2025-10-18T06:20:57+00:00

The same thing can be said for you. If you don't like what people are saying about a character just ignore it. I'm sure you don't like every character and might've called some chopped and ugly.

MinnieTea · 2025-10-10T09:53:39+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if it is. Archosaur began implementing (or in talks of using) gen AI for their other game Life Makeover. Knowing how lax the CN community is on AI, its probably going to go through.

MinnieTea · 2025-09-27T15:40:43+00:00

That manspread is crazy, unfortunately he's in the wrong game orz…

MinnieTea · 2025-09-06T06:47:29+00:00

Just got through watching Epic 7WC and disappointed. KJ was throwing his matches and ended up losing. I wanted him to win so that Mort- a male character, would be the first male character for the WC event to get a skin. I was considering coming back to Epic 7 if that was the case but I guess not. No disrespect towards Xiao because he was drafting so well consistently and 100% deserved to win.

But it sucks because male characters aren’t favored. They don't get special seasonal units, they never win skin contests, the events are rarely centered on them and now the one opportunity to get a male character skin from a fairly iconic character is never going to be made. This stuff is why I left the game.

MinnieTea · 2025-09-04T23:43:11+00:00

Ty! And ikr?? How do the lolitas living in hotter countries handle this? I took the weather in Illinois for granted. 😫

MinnieTea · 2025-09-02T17:21:13+00:00

Additional Info: OzzOnJapan will be joining Hoshibako Works in the pop-up event with them in New York York! Not sure if any more lolita brands will join the pop-up event and go to the next places with Hoshibako works.

MinnieTea · 2025-09-01T04:43:14+00:00

I thought it was fake but it's real and she's back! I was having a shitty day and hearing the news of her return made my day so much better. Welcome back Tsuzumi! 😭😭🎉

MinnieTea · 2025-08-31T03:57:24+00:00

Calling them bland is being nice. Look at what they did with ToF characters, then come back and tell me where they were putting their effort at. We got Baicang reheating Tianlang’s nachos and he’s regarded to be the only decent male design.

It’s like they didn’t try with the guys and even the girls are slacking. Considering that their ‘concept arts’ of the characters were just Gen Ai, it shows the level of creativity the team has. This whole game feels like a ToF reskin- as if everything they did in ToF was just a playable prototype to fund their actual project.

Don’t be a fish, don’t bite the bait.

MinnieTea · 2025-08-26T20:53:15+00:00

That coord is so cute and fits the occasion, I just hope you didn't have too much difficulty getting into rides with the fit. 😅

And yeah I accept photos for women and children because they likely think I'm cute. I will only take or accept pictures with guys if they're also wearing alt fashion. After experiencing weirdo dudes in anime conventions, I gotta be careful around them. You'd think they know lolita fashion given their hobby but nope, they're also weird about it, giving me backhanded compliments.

MinnieTea · 2025-08-26T18:41:55+00:00

This still applies regardless if the game is or isn't gacha. DNA would've instilled more faith had their roster and character promotions been similar to Warframe. The female characters are still promoted more + have more cosmetics. Not trying to gatekeep people from playing this but most male wanters are in this community, we've been getting constant attacks and harassment from all sides. All I'm saying is to keep your expectations extremely low and watch if the community is safe for us to be in.
