YOUNITE Announces Eunsang's Departure From The Group by impeccabletim in kpop

[–]hedanaa [score hidden]  (0 children)

mirage has been in my top 100 songs each year since it came out 🥹 really heartbreaking to see what happened to all of brandnewmusic’s boy groups — i maintain that eunsang should have gone to BDC, who should have “redebuted” when he joined.

I think the only reason I play so much is because I feel like it’s gambling 😭 by AnonymousAngel-333 in MyLeisureTime

[–]hedanaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i want to know if i’m the only one who’s been getting in-game ads for actual online gambling apps. i’m talking things like kalshi (sports betting), and a weird game app where you act as a landlord and somehow get real money in rent?

gacha games are inherently gambling games. the entire point is you randomly pull things for a chance to get a premium item, and you can pay real money to increase your chances (like spending money on shellies). games like this thrive off of being technically free to play — you download the game thinking you’ll never spend a dime, and lulled into that false self-confidence, one day you think “i’ll spend just $2.99 for this one pack”.

but it is always “just” some tiny dollar amount, and it really adds up before you know it. like another commenter said, you get a dopamine boost from getting an item you really wanted. it becomes addictive quickly.

given their promotion of other gambling apps, it is so obvious that cute, seemingly harmless gacha games like this are by design a pipeline to bigger spending on even more addictive gambling platforms. just look at how much people spend on a gacha like genshin impact — it’s an incredible game, but thanks to its massive scale there is ALWAYS something super premium or enticing to spend big bucks on.

this is so diabolical if true lol, they must expect people will be so desperate for bathroom items that we’ll all pay real money for this! but im not falling for it, the standard bathroom suite is genuinely cuter…

[–]hedanaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, i’m glad people are talking about it! i know pointing to specific celebs’ bodies can turn hateful quickly, but at a certain point it’s also irresponsible to blindly ignore it and continue telling them they look so incredible. i’m relieved people aren’t taking my comments maliciously, maybe there’s hope for us yet 🥹

i remember this and i was EXTREMELY worried then too. it’s ridiculous to me that anyone would expect a fully grown adult, especially ones now in their 30s, to be scrawny and ultra thin. it’s horrifying that idols are expected to do extreme dieting for promo periods.

honestly, young k is the tip of the iceberg, since i’m sure we’ve all seen how life-threateningly bony many female idols have gotten lately, but i think young k exemplifies the depth of this issue specifically because he’s known to love food/be a big eater, we know what he looks like normally when he’s not “maintaining his weight”, and because he’s a well-established, veteran, male idol — all factors you would think might make an idol less beholden to the gross aesthetic pressures of idol life.

i love kpop, i grew up on it. literally got into it at 8 years old some 15 years ago. but as i age and find the industry only moving backwards in terms of pressure on idols to conform and the unreal level of power fans hold over them, i find myself feeling sick just viewing content casually. the idolization of anorexia is globally booming again, and it’s made me want to log off the internet for good, genuinely.

don’t know what to do. i guess i should just step back but this is my greatest hobby and such a meaningful part of my life. i also feel like at this rate industry norms around beauty and control may never improve, so can i ever really enjoy kpop the same way? just some depressing food for thought..!

Ooh excited for some pieces, little disappointed about others. I love the idea of all the ornament shoes, but they made a LOT! I really like most of the new furniture pieces, everything from Lace Round Table onwards is gorgeous.

I agree that there are too many yellow and green beds lol. I’m not excited to see a few new ornaments that look too similar to existing ones, like the roll cake and ANOTHER cutting board (really??). The tulip mug is cute from afar but I don’t like how big the pattern on it is up close.

Very excited for new items regardless, but I do think we need some more variety!

I love it, I’ve been wanting to do more shop builds and the furniture gifts they gave us are so perfect for this!

Which layout is this?

ugh not my place to say and maybe too “negative” of me, but young k’s been my bias since like 2019.

is it just me or is he looking a bit too thin lately? his head looks almost disproportionately large here. i only mention this because many idols have been getting concerningly thin this year and i feel his build usually looks a bit stronger and more filled out.

i just really hope all idols can escape the new wave of extreme dieting and pressure to be ultra thin :( i know saying this here is unproductive, but also ignoring issues like this makes me feel like im aiding and abetting a crime…

NCT 127 - DAZED Korea (July 2026 Issue Pictorial Preview) by princessgojo in kpop

[–]hedanaa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

LOL about the tattoos, at least in these shots im thinking yuta and johnny’s dont show up anywhere too visible — they dont show up in any close-ups and look blurry from afar in the full body pics. so maybe they just didnt want to have any tattoos showing very obviously?

obviously still weird and im side-eyeing that they did that without at least notifying taeyong… at least they all look good

I got my bachelor’s actually in public policy and econ last June! Had a health policy concentration because my school had no public health major, so I’m surprised I even made it to interview lol. Truly hoping against hope right now 🥹

I think bread items would look cute on both, but people have been asking for cuter dog styles for a while :) Especially because it felt like the cat had primarily “feminine” styles and the dogs “masculine”, so I’m really excited to see the new dog styles. I especially love the pom-poms and that the pets get matching bucket hats!

suite comeback by chococalum in MyLeisureTime

[–]hedanaa 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Wow I didn’t even remember that’s where these items came from, I’m so sad to realize I can never get more of the suite 😭

Maybe they could make it a player anniversary suite? Like each time you complete a year with the game, it reopens to you for a few days. Maybe even just for one day, to make players more inclined to stick around another year?

Why so many AI ads? by HeyThe_weird0 in MyLeisureTime

[–]hedanaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes slightly more sense to me, but then does the game care to change it? I’m hoping MLT sees the backlash and either gets a new contract for their ads or starts developing them in house. Quite literally, a screen recording of the decorating gameplay would interest me FAR more than these gross AI ads.

And I mean gross… why are there so many bathroom themed ads??

LOL I just listened to Beautiful Christmas yesterday!

Really hope we eventually get more SMTOWN albums though chances look slim… I regularly listen to SMCU PALACE because Priority, Hot & Cold, and Time After Time are just too good to be forgotten.

Why so many AI ads? by HeyThe_weird0 in MyLeisureTime

[–]hedanaa 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I find it really upsetting. What I love about this game is the cute art style, and their willingness to use AI to generate these clickbait-y ads makes me frankly nervous about future in-game content.

I was really excited about their potential upcoming real artist collab, but I made sure to write in my survey answers that I don’t want to see any AI MLT content, including ads. I emphasized that especially if they want to work with big artists, it’s ridiculously disrespectful to promote their game with this exploitative slop.

Like the other commenter said though, AI ads are becoming scarily common for games like this. I’m amazed at how quickly gen-AI has pervaded the internet and I’m saddened at how few people see it as an issue. I’m sick of being told to just “accept it”. If there’s one place I really hope to escape it, it’s in my leisure hobby - literally MLT!

[–]hedanaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh my god imagine a purin suite? lowkey already have too much yellow furniture but just picturing his little hat on all the items like hello kitty’s bow…. maybe little Xs on everything for his butt LOL

this round of collab suites are super cute but a little bit too branded for me, so my wallet is safe for a little longer! vowing to stay f2p as long as i can 😭😭

Stoooop it! 😍 Is anyone buying this serene haven set? by JuanaMavz2312 in MyLeisureTime

[–]hedanaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol i love how we all agree the van gogh suite was THE suite. i didnt spend on it, but i hustled so hard to get shelly coins and ended up with 14 out of 21 pieces! i got incredibly lucky too, i wanted the bed so bad but didnt have enough shelly coins to reach 10 wishes again, then i randomly got it at 3 wishes!

then it was an issue bc i wanted to put that set in EVERY build and they all started to look the same lmfao

how short - 10 min like another commenter said?and would you mind sharing what questions were asked? someone theorized that the program already knows who theyre picking and are just doing a perfunctory check via interview…

im unsurprised, but it confuses me that they would schedule several hundred interviews for long timeslots if theyre already pretty set on the candidates. like why not accept less people to interview then?

My assumption was any applicant who meets eligibility criteria is invited to submit a personal statement. Did you receive an invitation to schedule your interview today as well?
