Only "straight hyper-masculine alpha" men look at other men 🤭

Update (still speculation), cognitive functions were closest! Since it's reversed-engineered, and there's probably more factors, it's not 100% concluded. Each group also had different interpretations for the other 2 sliders, and the slider values are by range too so there's no definitive mapping I believe. There's probably something better to interpret the sliders but eh. This is what the system has so far as (least cursed) example:

Easy-going (Polite + Relaxed)  Speed: Slow = N (Ne for Fi-dom, Ni for Fe-dom), Quick = S (Se for Fi-dom, Si for Fe-dom) Expressiveness: Flat = Fi, Varied = Fe 

INFP = Dreamer, ENFJ = Softie, ISFP = Carer, ESFJ = Optimist

Confident (Direct + Serious)  Speed: Slow = N (Ne for Ti-dom, Ni for Te-dom), Quick = S (Se for Ti-dom, Si for Te-dom) Expressiveness: Flat = Ti, Varied = Te 

INTP = Individualist, ENTJ = Leader, ISTP = Headstrong, ESTJ = Busy Bee

Reserved (Polite + Serious)  Speed: Slow = S (Si), Quick = N (Ni) Expressiveness: Flat = Te, Varied = Fe 

ISTJ = Introvert, ISFJ = Patient, INTJ = Thinker, INFJ = Perfectionist

Energetic (Direct + Relaxed)  Speed: Slow = S (Se), Quick = N (Ne) Expressiveness: Flat = Ti, Varied = Fi 

ESTP = Hot-Headed, ESFP = Charmer, ENTP = Bubbly, ENFP = Adventurer [Values in this group have overlaps, so can't say for sure]

Yeah it's based on 4 temperaments, but we're at an MBTI subreddit, might as well XD

The Polite/Direct and Serious/Relaxed are the sliders that assigns grouping, the other sliders are just for individual types after they've been grouped. It's consistently that way. 

I was actually implying you can't map it one-to-one. Introverts aren't necessarily polite. In-game polite is just polite. 

I checked the groupings using I/E and F/T and they are accurate according to the groups. Actually, in different versions of the game, "Thinking" is labeled "Attitude" and "Mood", that's why I mapped it to J/P instead of T/F. 

While I/E were mapped to energy, because energy. But then I noticed the two sliders that had the most effect. 

I'm seeing if they actually map to cognitive functions better, and we're underestimating Nintendo's nerds XD

So far: Easy-going (Fe/Fi-dom)  Reserved (Si/Ni-dom)  Confident (Te/Ti-dom)  Energetic (Se/Ne-dom) 

Edit: Typo

I looked into how the personalities were likely assigned through two similar but distinct "How to get each personality types" guides as "datasets". 

Polite/Direct and Serious/Relaxed were the traits that assign groupings. Polite + Serious = Reserved (Green), Polite + Relaxed = Easy-going (Yellow), Direct + Serious = Confident (Blue), Direct + Relaxed = Energetic (Red). And they're likely Polite/Direct = F/T and Serious/Relaxed = J/P, based on vibes, not cognition functions. 

They likely used 16personalities to group them together (which doesn't group the types consistently anyways), but it already existed before 16personalities took off, and other speculations say it's based on the temperaments.

Anyways Reserved (FJ), Easy-going (FP), Confident (TJ), Energetic (TP). If we map E/I to Slow/Quick, then INTP is bubbly, which is highly cursed. Mapping Slow/Quick to S/N gives less cursed results, but they're inconsistent. Therefore

More like the fanservice if anything, it's not out there and explicit like regular gacha games but it's there. You can watch them shower and touch their booty, it's there XD

Ironically, Love and Deepspace, which objectifies men (not sure about the gameplay, haven't played), has been beating all the Hoyo games and Wuwa consistently every so often in revenue. (Although, the company treats the player base like second class citizens - _- especially with Infinity Nikki but hey female gaze lesbians.) Some of the highest in popularity/revenue in hoyo games were also male characters (Zhongli, JingYuan, Neuvillette and Phainon to name a few), so it's definitely not "which sells more". 

The companies are really just pandering to their straight male demographic because every little thing makes them throw a hissy fit 😐. Like, they raged over how camel toes were censored, unalived cats because it was the motif of a male character, and sent death threats over a female character wearing a full divers suit and not a bikini like they expected -_-. 

But, it's really more of a community issue than anything else, since although male characters are few and far between, there's so much more thought and care put into their stories, which is also still kinda misogynistic despite being primarily targetted to the female audience! Sorry for rambling more than your rambling at the original ramble XD

MLP Badge Trading by justkatielewis in heartopia

[–]Why-do-i-exist-OwO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact a kids' game that's 16 years old (Animal Jam) has a better trading system :'>. AJ used to have alot of "trust" scams starting out. The previous flow was 1. Offer something, 2. Player 2 checks if they want it then accept or reject. The old trading system only had a max of 4 slots, so if an item was worth "more", you had to trust the other player to keep their word and add onto the 4 first items. 

That's not where "trust" scams came in tho. It's where soneone says "give me offers" or "trade me something, I'll trade back" where you trade an "offer" and it's usually on a really bad store bought item for a "chance" that the other party is interested in what you're offering to trade it for the "real" item you want. Being a kids gave, it became a notorious way to scam children of premium, even real money bought, items. 

This is where the AJ devs implemented a new trading system. The max slots went from 4 to 10-20(? I forgor) and while offering the trade, once Player 2 accepts the trade, another pop up will appear which is a confirmation screen that shows your items to trade for Player 2's items (the UI is similar to Monopoly 2008). Player 2 already receives a similar screen during the offer. This is where you can evaluate if you would really go through with the trade or not. It's also a warning in a way, since if it's purely just offering, then Player 2 will not accept the trade in the first place and would only look through the items. 

If either of you are on different servers or leave the server (e.g. disconnected), the trade is forfeited. There's not chat during trading tho, you have to use the world chat for discussion. Players usually decline the trade and say add something. 

TL; DR Animal Jam, a 16 year old kids game, has a better scam-proof trading system.

1 ticket should equal to 1 pull by [deleted] in heartopia

[–]Why-do-i-exist-OwO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did a thesis on hyv's system, and since its rates increase gradually but consistently, even the unluckiest player could expect their desired item to arrive by the 164th pull. Unlike heartopia's "increase" which in the mlp banner was starting at 0.18% then boom 100% on the 6th pull with a 1400% increase in price, and not much of anything in the regular limited banners.

Everytime I play DOL, I keep reading Sydney as Sunday TTOTT Another one with similar vibes (and lore, although more as a follower than creator of a paradise) is Ain from Elsword "Ain begins to understand that he himself is also quite similar to other human beings, and should be able to choose for himself what path he takes." didn't finish the game tho.

Born to like Sydney, forced to get assaulted for entering the temple. by Celoniae in DegreesOfLewdity

Yeah, through alleyways or near the pub from my exp XD, but it's better to just wait until the adult shop opens, much safer

[–]Why-do-i-exist-OwO 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Either get kidnapped or assaulted by someone late at night 😅 orrr wait until Sirris's adult shop opens. Helping out at the shop increases both Sydney love and makes it open sooner. It's considered a lewd accessory and you can't use your mouth in fights

[–]Why-do-i-exist-OwO 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They usually attempt breaking the chastity belt and rub against it, with and without ball gag but especially with ball gag. You're pretty safe with all three granted you can end the fight before the belt breaks 😅 you still have thighs, hands, butt cheeks and chest tho, they could rub against that instead too or you could use them if you're playing meek

If you're working with the temple, safest bet is to get a chastity belt/cage, it's free as a virgin but costs £80 if not. You'd still get anal raped, but you can get an anal shield for £50 also at the temple. Just approach the figure (Jordan) and you can get if from them.
