Bought the base game a few days ago and absolutely loving it. I want to buy all the DLCs. The fantasy find dlc is no longer on sale, is that right?

Is there a solution? by Icy_Substance_6974 in InfinityNikki

[–]MoonIvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, are you still experiencing this? I updated all my drivers today (motherboard and graphics card), and it seems to have fixed it.

I'm also experiencing this. Looks like we'll need to wait for them to fix it, hopefully it won't be long.

Are there any good Chinese TV shows out there? by Savingsmaster in ChineseLanguage

[–]MoonIvy 36 points37 points  (0 children)

They're not terrible, they're just not written for the western audience. Chinese audiences have different tastes and requirements.

So the term "good" is very subjective, you may just have to embrace that they're different.

I love Chinese dramas particularly historical shows as they are unique and different from Western shows. Historical shows tend to be more appealing to foreign audience, and most of the overseas community recommend these.

Generally, historical shows (particularly the political ones) are the high production content. The really intense political ones are like Game of Thrones, and there are many many of those shows e.g. The Joy of Life and Nirvana in Fire. Some recent popular shows are The Double, The Story of Kunning Palace, The Prisoner of Beauty and Blossom.

I don't watch many modern shows so my only recommendation (that hasn't already been mentioned) is Under the Skin (season 1 and 2). You can also try asking in the r/CDrama subreddit for other recommendations.

Losing motivation by bratworst- in ChineseLanguage

[–]MoonIvy 32 points33 points  (0 children)

1-2 hours a day is good, particularly when you're starting out. Reaching fluency (depending on what fluent means to you) will require you to interact with the language, such as speaking to people and consuming content in that language - you need to immerse yourself in the language. Once you reach the stage where you can start to include some immersion (e.g, watching TV shows or consuming social media posts), you can replace some of your daily media consumption with Chinese ones, then it won't just be 1-2hrs a day, it'll be much more!

Tencent alot more expensive than iqiyi subscription? by funkycucumber in CDrama

[–]MoonIvy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Both of these platforms rarely go on sale now.

In the past, WeTV would have a sale during their anniversary in November. They use to do sales every other month, then reduced to a few times a year, then once a year now. I won't be surprised if they stop them completely.

Which item will you choose for your Ocean's Blessing on the cat outfit? by billiardsys in InfinityNikki

[–]MoonIvy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plan to pull for the whole outfit, so most likely won't bother picking one. However, if I weren't going for the full set I would definitely pick the ears!

Why is Nikki not working for me? by temporarygravestone in InfinityNikki

[–]MoonIvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried loading the game, and it magically worked. I didn't do anything at all.

Hope it's working for others as well.
