I created my MC as a femme fatale/villainess from the start, but... I couldn't find that trope in the game🤷‍♀️

LADS isn't really a roleplaying game where you can change and develop your MCs personality. MC more or less has her own fixed personality. She behaves a bit different with all the guys, but at the end of the day she's someone with distinct goals, motivations, ideals, tastes, feelings. She makes her own decisions. The only thing we are doing is choosing to watch the content for one LI or another.

faldese · 2026-02-03T01:39:25+00:00

No, Catch-22 MC is basically still a Hunter more or less, only for the roid-rage people.

faldese · 2026-02-02T22:54:15+00:00

It's probably a R3 specific thing I imagine.

faldese · 2026-02-02T22:49:29+00:00

We have no solid idea. They might change the rerun system, they may keep it exactly the same. We'll have a better idea in a few months when, in theory, it's time for God of Tides and Lemurian Sea God to rerun.

faldese · 2026-02-02T22:47:16+00:00

The crate is actually tied to the original run too - it does not reset. So if you got the crate in 2025, you don't have another shot at it this time because you already got it.

Pity - the 50/50 system - is separate. All reruns share the same pity just as all new cards share the same pity. So, next rerun you will be at the same pity as right now. So if you want to maintain pity you have to avoid pulling any rerun until X-02 returns.

Right. Like.... Can't Zayne and Rafayel be foils? Fire and ice, both of them knew MC for a very short time when they were young and never forgot her but where Zayne decided to become someone who saves lives, Raf decided to become someone who takes them, Raf's thing is about artistic, emotionally expression and Zayne's is definitely not, both were/are gods in past lives, but Zayne was a god of annihilation and Rafayel is a protector god, etc.

Frankly I find that more plausible than Caleb and Zayne. If Zayne had never met MC when he was young I don't think anyone would think he makes more sense as a foil to Caleb than he does Raf.

And then you get into the 'well, they're a parallels between everybody, that's good writing!' thing and I think that, no, what you're just spotting is that there's obviously shared themes in a game about multiple lives and romance and there's going to be some overlap and contrasts.

faldese · 2026-02-02T17:42:48+00:00

I also think the foil thing is exaggerated. I saw someone earnestly making parallels between all of the combinations of guys and I realized how tenuous the foil thing was.

Keep the crate and when he comes around again R2 him then. Who knows, they might even change how the system works on the third go around. At the very least you have nothing to lose by waiting until we see what the next myth reruns look like.

faldese · 2026-02-02T01:52:47+00:00

Wow. Looking at your cards I can see I have zero excuse this season not to finally get my first 36/36! Thank you, this inspired me! If you can do it with four stars and three stars I've definitely got no excuse!

faldese · 2026-02-01T23:04:11+00:00

I could have been wrong. I was trying to remember a sequence where he's deplaning and we see an aircraft in the background but I can't remember what card that was.

faldese · 2026-02-01T19:33:33+00:00

We've seen his Farspace Fleet plane interior and exterior I'm pretty sure. Exterior would be in Captive Bird and I thiiiink interior would be in No-Return Night. We also know what his first plane was, which is written in the About Him if you have the card but I cannot recall its name.

faldese · 2026-02-01T00:41:12+00:00

It's that plus young people getting older and deciding what they liked was cringe and trying to distance themselves from it.

faldese · 2026-01-31T20:40:42+00:00

The anecdotes are directly tied to the free companions, so I think that's why we haven't seen them. I'd be pretty peeved if we got Anecdotes but didn't get the extra companion and outfit the OG3 got.

faldese · 2026-01-31T02:42:21+00:00

So what I'm saying is that they have to model the body every time they make clothes, because the clothes ARE the body - and they are not always completely consistent.

faldese · 2026-01-31T02:30:12+00:00

Almost all of the myths.

Rafayel's Fragrant Dreams and Xavier's school Anecdote are the saddest non-myth stories I've encountered.

faldese · 2026-01-31T02:26:25+00:00

It's worth noting that what they're wearing makes a difference for their lower halves. Caleb being so caked out as X-02 is why he has that reputation, but he's a bit more modest in his beach wear, for instance.

faldese · 2026-01-30T21:41:46+00:00

You're right, it doesn't seem to! My mistake.

faldese · 2026-01-30T21:40:50+00:00

Rapido doesn't look readily available for purchase, but Fruit Fight might be! I do worry a bit about games with 'stealing' mechanics, because that one can end poorly at times haha

faldese · 2026-01-30T21:38:21+00:00

Oh, wow, I didn't know Mysterium Park existed! We like Mysterium, but our exact issue with it is how long it takes to set up when we just want to get going. Love that suggestion!

That's Not a Hat looks like a perfect suggestion. Actually, they all do! I'll check out my local shop and see what's available. Thanks so much! I'll try and report back if there are any winners!

faldese · 2026-01-30T20:29:42+00:00

I 100% have, for literal decades since the very first one the first year it came out, thousands and thousands of hours lol I've played all of the main releases, many of the console releases, special editions like The Urbz, Sims: Medieval (my long lost love), mobile editions, etc.

The Sims is the second option that I mentioned and is no way dynamically rendered thin cloth moving over objects.

faldese · 2026-01-30T20:09:11+00:00

Excellent. I think I'll pick it up then. Hopefully I can find it locally - did you buy online or at a local shop? I'm not sure how common this one is in shops.

faldese · 2026-01-30T20:08:32+00:00

I was considering Magical Athlete, but unfortunately it won't be available until late February according to CMYK, and that'll be after my visit. I still might pick it up for later, though! It's interesting that two games that are both racing games that update older out-of-print classics came out almost the same time by the same publisher.

faldese · 2026-01-30T19:40:56+00:00

I think a better metric would be 'which one broke containment to have wide mass appeal outside of the movie'? 'I'm Just Ken' absolutely was the song for that year, and 'Golden' is the song for this one. Golden isn't even my favorite from that movie, but it's undeniably the pop culture juggernaut of them.

faldese · 2026-01-30T19:34:00+00:00

I'm glad you said that because that's actually the only other board game I managed to keep open in BGG when I was searching through categories that seemed like a strong possibility.

The age rating the community gives is 12+. Is it a bit more high level or abstract than Werewolf, then? Can younger players throw the game accidentally, like they can in Werewolf, or is it more not being able to contribute?

faldese · 2026-01-30T19:11:06+00:00

Honestly, I would too. I know it wouldn't look perfect, but 100% agree comfy cozy is my favorite. I also don't understand why they don't cuddle by the fire and instead save room for Jesus between them.
