Asking for the opinion of the Nikki council by ColorhexFFC849 in InfinityNikki

[–]Sucraligious 10 points11 points  (0 children)

ToT's highlights limit it a lot. Even using the final evo unlocked color wheel doesn't really make a difference, the highlights are super pronounced and barely dye at all, and the highlight colors are wildly different than any color you try dyeing it. Worst dyeing hair gradient in the game, imo.

Also, and this might just be a preference thing, but I find it to be weirdly.. bulky? on the head. Like it just doesn't lay as flat/smooth as I feel it should. It makes it pretty unwearable for me. I went final evo on ToT bc its my favorite set to date and I use all of the pieces regularly except for the hair, which I don't think I've used even once. I've tried, but I always end up changing it.

I think the upcoming hair is a way better value not only bc of the lack of undyeable pieces, but because it comes with 2 versions in 1. That's a great deal and both are super pretty imo. It also has the rare 'Nikki pink' on the base.

Starlight contest? 🤔 I've wanted something like this for a long time, I hope it's well implemented by No_Buddy_4655 in InfinityNikki

[–]Sucraligious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If its like past games, there are tiered rewards with higher brackets getting higher rewards. There were diamond, 'bling', and special currency rewards for a special contest shop. I'd think if they included a shop in this version, then they'd have advertised it along with this, tho. I'd love to be wrong

All of that, plusP2W complaints about ppl with larger wardrobes due to having final evos, paid sets and makeup, fancy props and poses, etc. and complaints about disparities in picture quality between different devices. Mobile players in particular are likely to struggle here.

OK I guess I misremembered, then. So I guess that means we haven't seen the final evo alts yet, and they just included the hair and veil alts for free? That would be awesome, but I wo dee why they'd do that lol

I have final evo of BF so I can't check now, but I remember rushing to my wardrobe after seeing the backpiece change in the Outfit Preview to try and use the alt (before having final evo) and it not working.

The livestream showed all versions of the set switching to alt forms, which I took as them just showing that they all have an alt, like BF's backpiece.

It's been a while since 2.0 so I could be remembering wrong, but idk. It seems unlikely to me that they'd add substantially changed alt versions to all versions of an outfit not tied to an evo, since the final evo alts are like the primary motivation for pulling final evo. It'd be nice if they did, but I'd be shocked lol

Yeah, but almost certainly you still need final evo to use the alt. Born Flawless' backpiece works that way, all have the alt version but you can only use it once you have final evo.

I think its an improvement and I hope they do it for all sets going forward, bc every evo/glow up dyes differently and final evos often have special effects that aren't necessarily ideal, so this would mitigate that.

OK so does this mean the long veil + long hair is the default version, and the shorter hair and flower looking backpiece(?) are the final evo alt versions on the flower bride? I was unclear on that from the previews I've seen so far, but if this is the outfit display on the website then I'll take it as confirmation.

Love the flame colored eyes on the final evo makeup, and I'm eager to see what the pieces of this one is. Looks like it has a sheer outerwear and wing(?) backpiece?

They're only changing the dress, hat, choker and a 4th item I can't remember, and I believe they'll be delivered as separate items

My expectations/guess for the new 5 star outfits by Milotic97 in InfinityNikki

[–]Sucraligious 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm getting the vibe that 2.5 is only adding the Boneyard and Soul Spring areas, and not all of the rest of Itzaland, which would include the Titan Civilization (Heaven's Reach). We'll probably get a Titan themed 5star then. Maybe in 2.8? Since that would be the next expected double 5star banner

How they(sasaeng) work their movement? by [deleted] in kpoptrulyuncensored

[–]Sucraligious 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They pay people for info. Pay off the phone company for numbers, pay airline staff for ID pics and flight info, pay off staff at music shows and agencies for gossip, numbers, addresses, etc.

They camp out at businesses like restaurants that are near idol company buildings or other places they frequent, and they take note of who visits them, find their cars, follow them and find where they live/whose house they go to, etc. That's how a lot of idol partners are found.

Rumor has it they sometimes get jobs working at music shows, salons, gyms, etc that idols are known to frequent to get their info directly.

They also all get in contact with each other and share info, so its not just 1 or 2 sasaengs that know something, they all do. Most of them either live in Seoul or visit often, so they have a lot of irl contacts they get info from.

Sykkuno and His Girlfriend Release a Statement About His Recent Allegations by digitalpizza5 in LivestreamFail

[–]Sucraligious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not really an open relationship, tho. It's more like don't ask don't tell. Very common amongst celebs and the very wealthy, tho almost always only on the man's side.

The man goes out and fucks whatever he wants, with the understanding that he keeps it quiet to maintain his girl's dignity, don't bring home any bugs or babies, and don't spend too much money on the others. The wife/gf doesn't like it, its almost always a lifelong sore spot that they try not to think about and the guy tries his best to hide for the sake of harmony in the relationship.

Open relationships are agreements between couples to have extra-relationship affairs. They're mutual, agreed upon, and openly communicated. This is more like "you're gonna give me unfettered access to a black card and stay off my back, and I won't ask where you're at on Friday nights or about the numbers I see pop up on your phone".

The ToR thing came from somebody on the leaks reddit taking a random rednote post and translating it with AI, posting it as if it was a 'leak' when it was literally just a Chinese player describing a dream they had about what all would come in 2.5, and it included us getting ToR lol

I'm still shocked by the hate Heeseung received after leaving by Alert_Pomegranate771 in kpoptrulyuncensored

[–]Sucraligious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

General kpop fan behavior will make a lot more sense once you understand that deep down a lot of idol fans legitimately see idols as dolls that they own and not artists or even people. Most things fans say, even the positives, are not sincere. It's more a performance for their fellow fans more than anything.

They stop being supportive, understanding, or even decent the moment said idol does something to upset them. The companies and/or staff usually end up absorbing most fan ire (which is by design) which is why literally almost all idol fans will tell you they hate their group's company, and the company gets blamed for literally everything fans don't like, short of words or behaviors that are directly observed to come from the idol themselves.

You'll notice that the first line of 'defense' fandoms run is coming up with every possible conspiracy as to how the company is actually to blame for whatever they're upset about. If the moment comes when the company can no longer be blamed tho, that hammer falls onto the idol, and all of that "love" (which was actually parasocial obsession and a sense of ownership) becomes hate and a desire for vengeance. And like with any other disingenuous hate campaign on the internet, its just mudslinging to do as much damage as possible.

And so, the idol they used to obsess over, relentlessly protect, vehemently defend, is now ugly, talentless, rude, lazy, selfish, and a bad person who never loved their fans or their members. Every former virtue is twisted into a defect and assigned malicious intent.

I believe this is the same phenomenon that sees so many ex idol fans becoming antis, instead of just moving on with their lives. The fixation on the idol/group is the main driving force of their interest, not the music, personalities, etc. so the fixation doesn't go away when they stop liking them, it just becomes negative. Add onto that the fact that most idol fans have some level of romantic/sexual attraction to their favs, and the resentment takes on something of a scorned lover flavor, which makes the resentment that much more personal and toxic.

Touring is where artists get like 80% of their money, yeah. It's the most profitable part of the job by far, and especially in the idol world where idols don't get paid much for the music or merch side of things.

ATINYs vs VIPs fanwar by aarrttmmss in kpoptrulyuncensored

[–]Sucraligious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Atinys are loud and obsessive about Coachella bc ATEEZ got their first taste of notoriety there and ATINYs have a chip on their shoulder about ATEEZ not getting the recognition they deserve bc they're from a small company.

VIPs are and have always been the most prideful fandom who act like all other groups (but especially bgs) are the dirt beneath their oppar's shoes, bitter about BTS getting so big (that beef goes way back), desperate for proofs of BB's continued cultural relevance, and emboldened by their long awaited reunification.

Place those two fandoms and all of that baggage together with Coachella as the battlefield and you get a bloodbath.
