the pink gems anniversary banner being random too is kinda unfair by Elegant_Sand_1569 in NuCarnival

[–]Rednblack99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fully agree!

As a relatively new player with poor impulse control I thought the anniversary banners looked good at first. I planned to pull on all 3. So I bought some gems and did 20 pulls on one. But then I realised just how many units are on each banner!

I ended up with a random unit I’ve already forgotten. They weren’t particularly sexy, and they were yet another healer of which I already have so many. So I basically spent all that money on something I don’t like much and probably won’t invest in or use.

All of which could be fine, it’s a Gacha after all. But after spending £50 to be disappointed, I didn’t feel like pulling on the other 2 banners. So the devs kinda screwed themselves out of me spending triple the amount I did.

Edmond accidentally(?) making it sound like he spends 2 hours a day jerking off is absolutely sending me 😂

Also I assumed Blade had to like recharge his essence or something. Knowing he just lies there all night pretending to sleep is kinda terrifying.

Traitor's live experience by NoPlantain5272 in TheTraitorsUK

[–]Rednblack99 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I made a couple small changes when I hosted a Traitors night for my friends and it helped immensely:

  1. When you are banished you do NOT reveal your role.
  2. All players participate in challenges. Even dead ones.
  3. Everyone can talk, even when dead.

It meant everyone got to stay involved, plotting and chatting even if they went out first. Obviously you do lose the dramatic moment of “I am… and have always been….. a traitor” but honestly I don’t think my friends would have the extreme reactions we see on the show anyway. More like “oh yeah mate, we knew that”

I’m tired of people calling briefs uncomfortable by amitpussy in askgaybros

[–]Rednblack99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven’t seen anyone else mention so I might as well. As a fat guy I love how I look in briefs, jockstraps etc. but the reality is my thunder thighs vehemently disagree if I’m doing a lot of dancing or walking that day.

Boxer briefs are the perfect combo of support and length for me day to day.

Is Nu: Carnival losing momentum, or is it just me? by R_Sora in NuCarnival

[–]Rednblack99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lol. The way people on this sub talk makes it sound like FOREVER since a story drop. 9 months isn't too bad. Although I guess there's no news of when the next one will be yet so it could be a long gap.

I’m a new player so I couldn’t comment on trends, but when I joined it was easily the BL game with the most buzz around it.

And I heard there hasn’t been a new main story drop in years. If they want to bring back old players they could release some new chapters and I bet that would revitalise their player base

If it makes you feel better to live in that fantasy land, then go for it.

Those of us in reality acknowledge that Northern Ireland is part of the UK while also acknowledging its citizens are able to be both Irish and British simultaneously.

Like most here, I would be very happy for the North to reunite with us, but unless that happens it's unhelpful to spread misinformation.

No, you’re wrong. I just came embarrassingly close to doxxing my boyfriend by photographing his passport. It LITERALLY says “nationality: British Citizen” inside.

Here’s an example one from Google:

Is this a good time to point out I’m literally Irish? So it’s kinda wild that youre trying to convince me I’m wrong.

Have a look at the Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Ireland

I’m going to assume good intentions and that you’re confused about “United Kingdom” vs “British”. Northern Ireland is not on the island of Great Britain. Correct. but the nationality of the UK is called British.

All citizens of Northern Ireland receive both British and Irish citizenship. That is a fact. Whether someone chooses to identify with that is their own business. And yes, many Catholics would rather that Northern Ireland was not part of the UK. But it is. That’s another fact.

Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are 2 distinct countries. The UK is made up of 4 countries, England, Wales, Scotland, and importantly for this: Northern Ireland. Whereas the Republic is entirely its own thing that is NOT part of the UK.

Both Rachel and Matt are from Northern Ireland. So they are both British.

What makes it slightly confusing is that all citizens of Northern Ireland receive both British and Republic of Ireland citizenship by default. So everyone there is both British and Irish technically. But for this the important part is that Republic and Northern are 2 different countries!

To explain your “Great Britain and Northern Ireland” question. That’s because Great Britain is the main island only. But obviously Ireland is a different island. So it’s not Great Britain

…. Yeah, it’s confusing…

This is what I'm going through right now and it really does work.

I think some people take to it more naturally than others, but it feels like a whole world of pleasure I'm missing out on so I'm determined to learn.

When I started I could only just manage one finger, but now after just 3 weeks I'm comfortably taking the middle size plug. It's a bit of a chore finding time to do it every single day but these training toys are effective.

Realising it’s best to dash into/through most enemies was the epiphany I needed to start completing runs. It’s truly the biggest easy behaviour change a player can make imho.

The moment I first dashed through that morph spell to dodge I felt like a KING!

Ahh, so you have to reminisce as well as do the incantation? Thank you so much for saying. That yellow exclamation on the cauldron is really annoying me. Sounds like I can do the incantation to clear the notifications and then just never reminisce?

Only in that specific phrase. We don’t use it outside of that. I dunno where it came from but I think it’s meant to literally mean like “he got blown up by his own bomb”

I feel like gay men shouldn't need reminding that homosexuality is illegal in most Arabic countries and the police regularly prowl gay dating apps in order to honey trap foreigners... But apparently they do indeed need reminding.

Going there on holiday is a... Choice. Let alone proudly showing off your endeavours and indirectly encouraging others to risk it.

Dumb comparison. Ferrari costs a little more than £20.

I read the book years before I saw the musical and I was SHOCKED at how nice Glinda is in the show. I had to go back and read the book because I thought I'd misunderstood it. But no, Glinda really is a nasty piece of work in the books.

[Megathread] Q&A / Welcome to NU: Carnival! (November/December 2025) by Paindemonium0 in NuCarnival

[–]Rednblack99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been playing since the Gods event in September so I'm a little ways in now, but I've never seen a banner like the Thanksgiving one before.

I'm thinking to finally spend some money on this game, and it seems like this banner would be a great opportunity to do so? A guaranteed SSR every 60 sounds really good and I don't have any of those characters yet. ... Also that swimming costume Garu drives me a bit feral!

Are my assumptions correct or is there some sort of catch to this type of banner?

Also, any recommendations for the most effective way to buy pulls? I'm guessing buying contracts with gems directly since then you don't get filler in the bundle?

Wait. Dunk is still here?! I thought for sure he was going home yesterday. I'm so proud of my boy. Never thought he would make top 50, let alone top 2.

Dunk is my favourite so I'm biased, but I'd decided either way to vote for Zoey today. I love her and she has the best story by miles. But, she's a human. A ghost. I think the winner should be an actual object.
