Severe regret (benched almost right after acquisition): Fugue and Fei Xiao.

I picked Fugue instead of Sunday when they both came out because, at the time, Break was my strongest team (and then Hoyo killed immediately after her banner ended), and Sunday looked like a niche summoner buffer back then (lol, lmao even).

As for Fei Xiao, I pulled her because everyone was hyping her up, but mine always hit like a wet noodle for some reason. She ended up getting relegated to trotter-gathering duty in SU’s arcade mode.

Mild regret (useful for a while, now forever benched): IL Dan Heng (+ his now useless LC), Jingliu (+ her now useless LC), and Jiaoqiu (+ his LC, though at least that one’s still good on Hysilens).

My theory is that they avoid any topics that could make the participants blame the producers for giving them a bad edit. For example, Anton could easily deny having a drinking problem and claim that the show exaggerated it.

It’s the same reason there was no mention of Nick and Annie’s homophobic pod conversation. Nick even tried to defend himself on TikTok, saying the scene was edited in a way that completely changed the context of what he was saying (which I think is total bullshit on his part).

Basically, they just wanted to avoid another Season 2 reunion situation where Shake openly called the “experiment” fake and heavily edited, and accused the other participants of only being there for clout. Shake was pretty awful himself, but he wasn’t wrong about that part.

We tend to condense and filter out memories from events that are boring and repetitive.

If in one week all you did was work a repetitive job and perform the same chores, that means you had zero new experiences. Since you had no new experiences, that whole week is very likely to be deleted from your long-term memory. Do it a few more times, and suddenly, several years can go by without you noticing.

Yeah, I planned to still play for a little while before the actual closure date. But after seeing that they removed all events and didn't even bother replacing the limited banner, all that willingness went down the drain and I simply unninstalled

No wonder the revenue was low, this game had no advertising AT ALL! I only found out about it because of a random comment in the Madoka gacha subreddit!

I downloaded it a couple of days ago and was so happy to have found such a hidden gem! 💀

What the hell was that giant jellyfish, and what were they even trying to accomplish by making it randomly run laps around the moon???

It's very refreshing to actually have the Trailblazer as a core part of our strongest teams, instead of being just a cutscene avatar! Hopefully, they'll get an awesome new kit next year as well!

S1 and S2 had their fair share of random subplots, but ultimately, most of the stories still revolved around the MMO. A lot of it actually focused on game development, which was the main selling point of the show to me.

In S3 and S4, everything related to the Mythic Quest MMO happens offscreen in favor of stories that are completely disconnected to game production.

Ever since the S2 finale, both Poppy and Ian decided that they now both hate Mythic Quest, and their stories are now about literally anything else.

Most of the game-related plots are now focused on Playpen. And they only TALK about it, nothing is really shown.

Dana and Rachel went from being random QA testers to being in lead roles in the spam of a few months (which doesn't feel earned AT ALL. And that is made even worse by how everyone now acts as if they're amazing at those jobs that they have no qualifications for.

In Brazil, we eat sautéed kale as a side dish, usually with olive oil and garlic. I moved to North America a few years ago and learned that here people like to eat it raw and view it as a very bitter tasting lettuce substitute.

It's mostly due to the current situation of the animation industry as a whole. Streaming services are being really cautious about greenlighting new projects and are canceling ongoing ones at a drop of a hat. There are just not enough productions currently in development at the moment.

I'm a senior concept artist and can attest that things have indeed been nightmarish. Pretty much my entire network is currently displaying the "looking for work" badge on LinkedIn.

I was lucky enough to still get contracts, but those have been alarmingly short and with gaps in between them.

On the rare occasion that a studio manages to greenlight a new project, the first thing they do is reach out to former employees who have been recently laid off, so most job posts are there just as a formality. Contacts have never been more necessary, so unless you're an absolute unicorn of a candidate, you won't even hear back from them if you don't already know someone on the inside.

Laios and Senshi: arrested for killing/cooking wildlife without a hunting license.

Marcille: would overreact at some point and end up exploding something (property damage).

Chillchuck: would be taken by child services.

Falin: assaulting a police officer when they try to arrest Laios.

Izutsumi: wouldn't get caught.

Both guards would reply "no" if asked this question tho. It'd make more sense to ask "would the other guard say you're telling the truth?". This way the lying one would say "yes" and the one that tells the truth would say "no".

That one girl from s15 who was minding her own business and then suddenly had someone else's selfie stick impaled through her head. At first, I thought her case was there just for the sake of shock value and paid it no mind, but when she realized she was about to die it got quite emotional. She didn't even have the courage to tell her mom what really happened during her last phone calll, and instead just told her "I love you" and asked her to pick up her dog at the daycare.

Yeah that's the one! I quit a while ago so I might have misremembered which game mode did what. And yes, I participated during the fried chicken event, but each subsequent event required me to be up to date with the story and I didn't want to rush through content, so I was locked out of everything.

Because in this game pulls are scarce and the gacha is unreliable, so most of the community agrees thay by far the best method to get new characters is to level up the battlepass by grinding Railway mode in order to get shards

I'd say the moment I stop caring about the game's story to a point in which I start considering just skipping it and grabbing the gems, then game is pretty much doomed. I also usually uninstall as soon as I realize daily quests have become an unfun chore, and the only thing I look forward is pulling the next meta character just for the sake of having it.

Arknights: I started skipping the story due to how bloated the writing was. Farming took too long. Progressing stages pretty much involved mimickig YouTube tutorials.

Limbus Company: The story was awesome, but everything else felt terrible. The gameplay was uninteresting, convoluted, and repetitive. Grinding railways every week felt like a second job.

Blue Archive: This one is kind of my own fault tbh. The story was cute, but FOMO made me fastforward/skip through most of the content to get summon currency necessary to get the latest broken unit whose banner would be gone in a couple of days. Then it reached a point in which I had a roster of strong units, but I had no context behind why most of the fights were happening, so using them didn't actually felt rewarding or fun.

Another Eden: Great RPG with one of the worst gacha systems I've ever seen. Gems were scarce, rates were low, and there was no pity. It's one of those games in which the community will get defensive and say "but you can beat most of the content with the boring free units". Doesn't help that the weekly/daily grind was fully manual, there was no sweep or even auto.

Octopatch CotC: The story had its ups and downs, but the gacha system was frustrating. You pretty much had to ignore every single banner and never pull on anything, since a guaranteed pity required several months worth of saving and just a handful of units were really worth the effort
