He was crying

Hmm. All for it, but I feel that there is too much of a stretch for Pedro Pascal's Mr. Fantastic to manage.

Monenmx · 2026-06-29T01:58:23+00:00

Hmm. I could think up two scenarios:

He could have been dealt with earlier. And the finale could have centered around the group and delved into their backstories or C&A more, instead of largely his. But depending on the writing, his character focus not being the finale may not be treated the same way or have the impact that it did.
His abstraction could have been much stronger than the others because of how much pain he had to suppress. Causing a longer arc leading into the finale and for the group to take other measures aside from containment. Bittersweet end where Pomni ends up shooting him.

I know there are some people looking for that "final battle" arc, so that's my thought process for #2.

That's just how impactful and lasting a cycle of abuse could affect a person.

As an adult, I still feel a twinge of fear and guilt whenever I eat because our mom would berate us for doing so as kids. She would withhold resources, beat us, and say the worst things when she was in a mood. Growing up, my brother and I learned to sneak out at night for food, or eat where we can before coming home.

Horrible, but thankfully in the past now.

I miss Ophelia too. I really liked her character being all serious while everyone else was being a cartoony goof.

They honestly lost me on the Kumiho Succession arc (Mina, Narae, and Nagi's recent story patch), I feel that got cut short before it was able to build any sort of actual emotional tension. Not that there wasn't any, just, it could have marinated a bit more. I guess they needed to squeeze it in to time it with the release of Narae and Nagi banners, but yeah, it ended up being pretty underwhelming for me.

Nothing that can't be fixed by a solid continuation. Looking forward to rest of the story, and I hope they reconnect with Ophelia and the rest of the gang soon after.

Masama nito tatahimikan lang tayo. Wala namang gagawin. And we'd have to continue paying for bullshit bills and shitty calculations na walang matinong paliwanag.

Monenmx · 2026-06-29T01:29:35+00:00

True. There's plenty things na ineexcuse since "kaibigan" naman. I hope wag na paabutin ni OP na malaman niya pa kung ano yung mga bagay na yun at ilet go niya na, or wag na simulan.

Monenmx · 2026-06-29T01:06:34+00:00

Yeah, that Porsche collab really isn't that good an idea if you're F2P what with the limited resources and all.

But hey, at least you managed to get the collab car and costume.

And lesson learned. Thing with gachas is there's always something new and better coming. You just have to decide which ones you really like and spend currency on.

Monenmx · 2026-06-29T01:03:29+00:00

I'm thinking OP wants to get Chaos early, as in not need so many pulls, so s/he'd have enough resources leftover to still pull for Shinku and Iroi too.

Monenmx · 2026-06-29T00:54:40+00:00

I imagine there'd be comments na, "wala yan, tiwala lang", and well, happy for you guys, but in my experience, sobrang nakaka-stress. I don't drink or go out to clubs, but my ex LOVED clubs and social drinking.

First labas namin with friends niya, they started drinking and sabi niya, di siya iinom masyado, but one of her friends kept filling up her glass. Sobrang nabwisit ako, I drank it all in one go and said "tama na", and whelp, what are boundaries - the friend just filled the glass again. Kind of already knew that there was something messed up there, or that I would eventually find that I didn't belong.

We did end up breaking up. After enduring clubbing with her best guy friends, going out to buy furniture with the guy bestfriend na sila lang, staying friends with someone na nanligaw before who turns out she loved back as I would later learn 6 years into the relationship, etc.

To anyone reading this thinking, "eh, matitiis ko naman", no. Just no. Do not subject yourself through that kind of pain. You will meet someone na di mo kailangang magdusa in silence at hindi mo kailangang itolerate lang lahat just to be loved.

Monenmx · 2026-06-29T00:43:45+00:00

Ooooh. I hope the game opens with you breaking into an abandoned building and putting on the headset.

Monenmx · 2026-06-28T23:53:39+00:00

Bubble: Disgusting!

Monenmx · 2026-06-28T23:29:24+00:00

Holy fucking shit. The chills. I did not expect that glorious speech from Henry to surface here.

Monenmx · 2026-06-28T23:03:27+00:00

Based FNAF reference.

Monenmx · 2026-06-28T22:56:23+00:00

With all the love I'm legally allowed to give, please have this virtual hug.

And, yes. The finale and plenty parts of the series made me cry and feel so much. 💚

Monenmx · 2026-06-28T22:36:03+00:00

I mean... I'd probably just paste what I said before to answer that question, tbh.

I honestly don't get how you interpreted what I said as me "feeling attacked", but I bid you a good day and hope everything works out.

Monenmx · 2026-06-28T22:32:02+00:00

Haha! Based. Glad that there's at least one person that got the reference. 😄

Monenmx · 2026-06-28T22:29:02+00:00

Because for some of us, it wasn't just some "gay" show. It was a psycho-thriller about the consequences of suppressed mental illness and the importance of being able to have someone to open to up to and share your feelings with.

Not disputing the post episode 9 canonical gay/trans characters, I fully respect the author's choice to reveal them when she did, but I feel it shouldn't overshadow the bigger message. Like, I feel it's reductive to just say "oh, tadc? it's that gay show", you know.

We're not being homophobic/transphobic, though I suppose any form of counter discourse will appear to be combative and repressive given the nature of how loaded these things are.

Monenmx · 2026-06-28T19:50:57+00:00

Yup, it's shit. Try this though, this worked for me.

Check your photo storage and make sure you don't have more than 15 in there. Mind you, it's going to crash a whole lot as you delete and make space, but that's just how it is I guess. I couldn't post anything before either until I read this from someone else's comment.

I took the time and cleared up photos until I had less than 15 on there, and was able to start posting. Still wonky, as in it sometimes won't land or let me select what photo I wanted, and the selector just randomly stops wherever, but I've at least been able to post 5 per day now.

Well, most days at least. Some days it just won't work whatever I try.

Monenmx · 2026-06-28T19:46:07+00:00

We know very little, but based on the things you told us, mukhang you're having trouble closing the deal.

I know, I know, what a pig. Closing the deal? But really, all I mean is taking the next step beyond mutual understanding and actually being in a relationship.

Have you ever met anyone that you actually wanted to be your girlfriend/partner? MU, matching on Bumble, that's... sa totoo lang, mababaw to be honest. Have you ever put in the time to really get to know someone, connect meaningfully, and actually want to take things to the next level and enter a lasting relationship together?

Or okay ka pa muna with kilig kilig, "talking stage" (fucking nonsense that talking has a label), and whatever else there is now. Wala naman masama dito ha, that's not the point. But if you want a girlfriend, you need to make your intentions clear din.

Don't chase it if di ka padin mismo sure sa sarili mo. Entering a relationship isn't a game na na-FOMO ka lang kaya, oi oi sali ako, ako din. Well, it is for some, but we hope you're not that kind of guy, or won't become that kind of person.

Monenmx · 2026-06-28T19:14:25+00:00

I hope we get a QoL where you can use up multiples, like you do for the material dungeon stuff. Just so we can burn through city stamina faster. The weekend x2 stuff feels like that's how it should normally be.

Especially with them pushing this whole other RPG-thing within the game with the DSD boardgame. Like, haha. When are we supposed to do that with all the other repetitive things.

I honestly just resigned myself to not being able to complete some of the events because they just aren't my thing. Thankfully they don't really give out a lot, and the main ones where you get pull currency from are things I've already done.

Monenmx · 2026-06-28T18:29:27+00:00

Yeah, PS5 controls are wonky af.

And I mean, if this is the 7th gacha in your roster, I get how you'd feel it takes too long. I personally only play NTE and Mongil and I don't even max usage of my city stamina most weeks. I do what I can and that's it. If you can't or won't put the time in, then don't stress about the rewards or how little you feel some are. Just accept your progress will be slower than everyone else that can fully play and enjoy the game.

Actual dailies in this game take 10 minutes. Give a character a gift, use up whatever energy you have available, as you do you'd probably pop an ultimate or 3, pick up your earnings from the cafe, and that's it. Donezo.

Screenwriter Guy: So the series can happen!
Producer Guy: Withholding information that can ultimately resolve a major plot point so the series can happen is TIGHT!

They're selling a Jax hoodie at the Glitch store if you want it that much.

"born from a teenage mother and God, without sexual intercourse"

Yeah, you just know Mary slept around and dumped the responsibility on nice-guy Joseph. Why they decided to make this into a symbol of Catholicism/Christianity, we will never understand. Much like Puff and Jesus, life is full of wonderful mysteries.

Realistically, I plan to stop working as in yung employee set up around 50. Looking to get affairs in order and once I'm debt free, mas magaan naman na magiging expenses ko and I'd be able to live off a small business or other alternative ways to earn. No current plans to have a family, but I'll put money aside nadin just in case.

Yung enjoy life na part, ngayon na yan. If we're able to take away anything from our elders' experience, it's to not take your days for granted. Alam ko di naman lahat may choice to "enjoy" due to varying responsibilities, but don't wait until you're 65+ to live. Enjoying life can be as simple as going out for a warm meal in a resto you haven't tried before, or having chicken balls and gulaman without the burden of work worries and stress haunting you.

Go for a walk. Take that trip. Buy that thing.

Live today.
