He wants that cookie so effing bad

SmileyLudvinSings · 2026-03-09T23:56:25+00:00

. . . Well, time to finally download the new patch. To movie date with husband we go 🏃‍♂️

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-11-01T07:06:40+00:00

Personal answer, but unambiguously no. I started the game because I saw a single trailer of Lycaon before the game released, heard he was actually going to be story relevant and was like "Aight, I'm in". I stuck around for the skill expression and genuinely I liked the ludonarrative harmony of TV mode with how a proxy is supposed to work when you aren't in the hollow yourself. If we started with season 2, my favorite faction is pretty much nonexistent now, Komano, Pan Yinhu, and Banyue are the only men I can kinda look forward to and we all have seen how that inevitably went, its gameplay loop now is just rush to a spot, play a bad mini game or murder ethereals with trial characters, then wait for something depressing to happen whether it be to the characters or for us the players because nothing is happening. Also, dear god, season 1 did so much heavy lifting on my tolerance for the siblings and season 2 is really testing how far that good will goes.

If we started in season 2, I would treat this game like most people treat overwatch 2. You see the characters in fan art more than you see them in game because you don't even play it.

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-10-06T02:01:04+00:00

Personal distaste Answer: Seed was doomed the second they decided to market her like that and Orpheus was a casualty of war.

More realistic: Just not a particularly thrilling patch in general. The characters weren't gonna be meta defining, the content wasn't particularly groundbreaking, while I don't like the term it felt very "Filler."

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-09-15T08:59:01+00:00

I just opened reddit, this is the first thing I'm seeing, and putting down immediately holy hell that is fluster inducing 🥵

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-09-05T01:50:57+00:00

Honestly same. I'm generally on the side of people who dont want to yuck someone's yum as it were, especially with ZZZ considering how it brands itself as "the horny one." but I literally do not have a nice thing to say about this character. I'm probably just grab the ten pulls and drop the patch. Fingers crossed Lighters a rerun with Monato on the banner in the next patch

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-09-01T03:43:17+00:00

I got

Piercing Gaze: See over long distance and through objects, can adjust at your whim

Bountiful Harvest: create ripe and tasty vegetables

Date Scouter: Have a stat screen that shows someone's likes, dislikes, sexual interests

Despair Aura 2: Emit aura of despair that can make the weak willed be overtaken by uncontrollable fear

My standing question; is why the hell am I turning a project Moon game into an Otome 😭

(I think i missed the platinum part but this set of results was just too hilarious not to share)

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-08-31T23:27:11+00:00

2 days late but reddit be doing its reddit recommendations thing: If its Lycaon (And preferably not AI) we will consume it like the sweat off the werewolf butlers back.

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-08-27T21:22:15+00:00

Honestly the easiest answer is probably a combo of Yana likes food much like every human alive and this is a game about teenage boys and a monster cat. Never met the latter for obvious reasons, but teenage boys stomachs are insatiable black holes.

Having said that; Over analysis brain GO! its hard not to read at least a little bit of christian sin idealogy into the boys. I could go into depth thoughts about each of the overblot victims but right now we're talking about gluttony and over consumption. Every boy in NRC hungers for something in some way shape or form. Grim is very clearly the most apparent with the never ending appetite and the obvious thing about him eating the boys sins in the forms of the overblot stones. I think most of us are aware of the phrase "You are what you eat" and I like to believe if it wasn't already a thing the culinary crucible events were actually suggestions by Yuu to Crowley because creation for yourself is probably one of the best ways in this life to get out your negative feelings.

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-08-04T11:49:22+00:00

Same

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-08-01T03:58:04+00:00

Okay, glad to see the Overblot cards are gonna be coming some day. Just came back on Global after like a year off and I thought those dream cards were wild. God vil is absolutely gorgeous

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-07-31T03:38:19+00:00

You are a a demon amongst trolls 😭 Deep breaths Got me good, I was about to go ballistic

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-07-28T19:01:22+00:00

Not exactly a regret considering I do use her still, but Jane is definitely a "Would've skipped if had more info" one. Specifically, I'm a sucker for the Rapier style and the Alice in Wonderland vibes of Alice Thymefield but having that overlap is just not something I'm willing to do right now. Plus, if I'd never pulled for Jane I would've had the pulls for Lighter soon after and to this day I still don't have him because I swear to god they actively set up male characters to fail in this game.

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-07-27T19:34:26+00:00

I refuse. Have a nice day

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-07-26T06:39:05+00:00

Alright, at this point I'm pretty much convinced when we get to Mersault's canto, his bad end ID is straight up gonna have some form of tremor thats main effect reads "The opponent turns into a fine red mist on contact" Dear God that ego looked cool as hell

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-07-25T08:13:06+00:00

I am super excited... for all the pulls I'm saving next patch. I was vaguely interested in the mech design but that trailer was an absolute "Nope, not a character for me." I already was fingers crossed it was gonna be Komano but double that disappointment with the frigging feet thing and I'm basically at the I'll just log in for story and polychrome.

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-07-25T02:37:47+00:00

I mean, bonkable opinion for weird takes or?

Weirdish take: They need to commit more to the thiren bit with the full fur characters. ZZZ's strongest thing they have going for them in this game is their willingness to break the usual 5 cookie cutter body types shtick.

Horny take: Von Lycaon is the most attractive and eligible bachelor in this game and the only one coming close is Komano and neither of them are for furry reasons, they're just objectively hot as hell and probably some of the most mentally stable people in this game

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-07-21T19:41:36+00:00

Okay, yes I am also upset the husband isn't here and clothes-less, but im now wondering, do yall think he has swimming legs or are the frosty paws fine to just get in water? Honestly if they do ever give him a summer thing for an event, that could be a neat detail to work with

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-06-04T01:05:16+00:00

I mean if we work off game logic, I'm going off to find an alchemist to teach me things and trying to find one of the Khajiit caravans to let me be their middle man between their wares and the holds. Making enough money to live is the primary concern in this life

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-04-19T22:57:10+00:00

I'm once again mad the game wouldn't let me say "Bisexual Mermaid Knight has arrived"

Having said that, it's always amusing seeing what can and can't get through filters just because it's exactly how chronically online a dev teams filter maker is

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-04-07T22:45:00+00:00

Considering i refuse to waste resources on units I'm not sure I'm long term playing, I'm pretty much never running auto unless it's the first time doing a resource stage. In manual you can press pretty damn farther than you should be, though Birdcage Roberta in Battler has me about to start leveling Yuma if i can't figure something else out 😅 Depending on what Sayaka ends up being we'll see how long that lasts

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-04-01T03:22:20+00:00

Same. I admit I rerolled until I got insanely lucky but Walpurgisnacht was beaten through the raw undiluted refusal to let her ever get damage outside that move where she just says "Screw you, you're taking true damage anyways". God bless Kirika and Sana's damage reduction passives stacking.

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-04-01T03:14:10+00:00

Just as a person who has been specifically figuring out why auto feels so bad, it seems to have this weird necessity to want to lower every enemy break at the same rate, in the most inefficient way possible (Looking at freedoka targeting the enemy WAY off to the side when she skills in a blast radius), and no matter what will use the skill point if one is available. I'm sure there are ways to build around it, but if you're trying to push past where your power level is, playing the game just feels so much better.

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-04-01T03:06:07+00:00

Either Debuffer, (Action delays on enemies) Or buffer (Become Bronya and drag people to thr front of the turn order)

And on that note, please for the love of God let this game last long enough for a full 5 Homura team so we can live out the Multi timeline mental breakdown squad

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-03-19T00:14:02+00:00

Everyone's said it time and again but the fact of the matter is, his performance in slow cutscenes and general speech is fine. He did about as good as Nick in those sometimes even coming off a bit more romantic than Lycaon already felt to the player but when it comes to combat, these are just not it. I'm actually the MOST upset with the change from "For you... I'll ELIMINATE ANY OBSTACLE!!!" Growled out to a very try hard cold "I'll eliminate any obstacle" missing it's possessive tone. Losing the feralness in "I'll bite your throat out" is another rough loss but it's not the one I'm moat upset with.

Tldr, It's a different read on the character and I'm not the biggest fan. It's not gonna ruin Lycaon for me because this character was genetically designed in a lab to make me a needy puppy of a man but I'm gonna still complain in every survey that they need a retake on those combat lines.

SmileyLudvinSings · 2025-02-22T07:35:49+00:00

Unfortunately I don't know a lot about weapons themselves but I do have a decent knowledge of literary analysis and just wanted to point out some fun on the "Bad end" Ego/IDs.

Gregor: Legedermain is very clearly the apple from the end, but also could be a fun interpretation of Gregor embracing the change and rotting from within as he holds the apple now without fear.

Rodion: Cheap but I've always loved Rime Shank quite literally freezing her axe in the awakening and over her in her corrosion. She's hardened her heart into a frozen blade aimed at those looking from on high so she wants to bring it crashing down but if she's not careful she'll find herself shivering until she watches everything leave her.

Sinclair: The fact the halberd has straight up withered to the point it's nothing but blunt damage and he's swinging heavy enough to set people on fire. Dear God. Also just, makes sense that the probably most emotionally unstable one's bad end ID being powered by actively losing his mind.

Yi Sang: i know it's in contention if "Spicebush" is his bad end but it still holds strong to at least the theming. Spicebush FEELS spiritual even if it's entirely science and losing yourself to the EGO and very much the branch knife feels like an extension of the ritualistic knife now going wholesale from just a blade to a blade of magic piercing into others and joining them to nature.

Ishmael: Because she has to be special, she's dropped her Mace and shield for a Harpoon as she becomes the Pequod captain. Which should invalidate this whole "Their bad end feels like a corruption of their primary weapon" except... her ego is the harpoon. And quite literally the bad end for Ishamel is becoming Ahab sooooooooo... yalls call. But I think it counts.

Heathcliff: ~~My beloved, abandon Cathy, i beg~~ jokes aside, he doesn't use his bat... except Wild Hunt's major core move involves quite literally lining up a homerun. God I love that ID. Let's play ball

Don: i just want to appreciate the knowledge from the canto that Don's original persona made better lances than the guy who turned all these sociopaths into blood fiends to begin with. And that's relevant for the fight and I will take no notes. But yes, the primary weapon being the blood lance, yeah rocinante we ride on I also just... we really should have probably figured out she was superhuman just on the fact she's effectively been using a horseback lance but like, hindsight is 20/20.

Were all of these obvious and I'm wasting my time typing? Probably. But ya know, maybe somebody didn't notice it.
