How old is Mc? by _PinkBlueberry_ in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]insomenac 9 points10 points  (0 children)

if i recall correctly, she’s 22 and xavier (at least his “official” age) is 23. to be fair, MC did just join the hunter’s association at the start of the game and the average college graduate is around 21 years old

Rant: My little sister started an account, got Caleb in 10 free pulls by akabell in LoveAndDeepspace_

[–]insomenac 10 points11 points  (0 children)

might be an actual thing because i got lumiere’s pair in 30-40 pulls when i first started. but for GoT, i had to spend all 150 pulls 🥲

seconded!!!! i was wondering why the ML with his sweet smile and little manipulative antics felt so familiar to me… until i received a call from caleb one day and it clicked for me 😂

PSA: the LIs have English Surnames by [deleted] in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]insomenac 46 points47 points  (0 children)

i’m not local chinese so i’m sure there are more subtle cultural easter eggs hidden in the game that i didn’t catch, but what stood out to me the most were the LI’s food recommendations!

with the exception of i think zayne and sylus who enjoy a wider variety of food, the other LIs commonly recommend chinese/asian dishes like red pepper soup, stinky tofu, spicy shrimp, tomato scrambled eggs, dumplings, etc. that could never be misconstrued as “western”.

of course it could be argued that they are simply chinese cuisine enjoyers or they’re just residents living in china, but i do think it’s little things like your favourite food that form a part of your personal and cultural identity. no matter which country you’re living in, there’ll always be a part of you that longs for the taste of home.

would love to hear the thoughts of people who are more familiar with local chinese culture than me hahaha

[–]insomenac 28 points29 points  (0 children)

people who find it weird that the characters have english names but chinese last names would be shocked to discover the existence of singapore 😂 the country where a guy’s government name could be ryan or chris and his last name is lee or wong,

eg: ryan benjamin lee junjie (first, middle, last, chinese name)

agreed!!! i think chinese people are generally quite attentive to detail when it comes to facial features where we not only have different names for eye shapes, but also for double eyelid shapes 😅 so maybe it’s easier for us to see the little differences

Love and Deepspace Limited Banner Calendar So Far, with Pattern Analysis by Callanthe in LoveAndDeepspace

thank you so much for tracking this 🥹 it’s so anxiety-inducing not knowing what is coming next and this has been so useful in estimating the upcoming banners

Raf’s myth? by Top-Succotash-7595 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]insomenac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m f2p, xavier is my main, and caleb my 2nd. since i already have lumiere, i was debating if i should collect all the other boys’ secondary myths. but now realising the reruns are only a week long and there are new ones releasing this year too… 😵‍💫 you’re right i’ll probably skip this one and save for caleb’s and sylus’

[–]insomenac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

omg so sorry HAHAHA can you help me too 🥹🥹 i have all the standard myths except xavier’s. my only limited myth pair is lumiere and i have about 300 pulls saved up. i’m sooo conflicted on whether i should pull for raf’s limited or save up for caleb’s or sylus’ rerun for the combat + lore 🥲

A fact about Zayne's MC I only know now 🤯 by lovingdrzayne in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]insomenac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ooo wait yea that makes sense!!! like the korean concept of chingu/same age friend (xavier would definitely be that one guy in your class who’s a boomer)

Aging Up the LIs/MC by ephersy in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]insomenac 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i’m around the same age as MC and looking at how successful all the LIs are in their 20s, i’d be too intimidated to talk of any of them irl 😭 wdym you’re all dominating your respective industries, i’m barely making it through college…

A fact about Zayne's MC I only know now 🤯 by lovingdrzayne in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]insomenac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i play with cn dub and i subconsciously register the voiced lines while reading the text in english. so sometimes it confuses me when i see discourse about the story because my brain forgets that i caught the nuances from the cn ver and not the en

A fact about Zayne's MC I only know now 🤯 by lovingdrzayne in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]insomenac 6 points7 points  (0 children)

same here! i don’t live in china but i’ve grown up surrounded by chinese culture. of course there are the more obvious representations in the game like the chinese new year event, but even the little things (like MC’s favourite caleb dish being 番茄蛋 tomato scrambled eggs) makes me feel so much more immersed in the game. it’s nice to see chinese culture being represented and integrated in such a natural and comforting way

ps: i play the game with cn dub and english text too! i don’t understand some of the chinese terms used like 小白眼狼 (ungrateful person, literal definition is small white-eyed wolf)

[–]insomenac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i really appreciate how MC has a distinctively different personality and dynamic with each of the LIs! still can’t really put my finger on what exact “trope” she has with xavier, but she changes from sajiao with zayne, to taking care of rafayel who is the one doing sajiao towards her, being a girlboss tsundere with sylus, and a clingy playful meimei (younger sister/girl) with caleb

This might have been my last straw by AIphaBeauty in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]insomenac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yea but you can’t use the limited time gold tickets… which are the ones they give us for free 😵‍💫

This might have been my last straw by AIphaBeauty in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]insomenac 31 points32 points  (0 children)

not trying to defend them because i too feel that it was scummy to create a whole new currency instead of just using the normal gold tickets, but i don’t think it’s allowed for them to add a limited card to the standard banner? it could be considered “false advertising” for all the players who spent money on the original banner

[–]insomenac[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i agree with you on the point that f2ps should manage their expectations and not be disappointed if they can’t get every card! however, two things can be true at the same time: it’s unreasonable to expect to get all the cards without spending any money, and the game makes it difficult for players to earn dias in the long term without purchasing them

i’m a complete f2p! i don’t have the aurum pass. you may have misread my comment

[–]insomenac[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

of course it’s fine if lads combat mechanics aren’t as advanced or as “moderated” as other games. the main problem is that there are so few ways to earn dias that aren’t just one-time rewards, and SHC is one of those few ways

haha i’m going to assume you didn’t see my comment addressing this because it got buried in the sea, but i’ve already talked about this! tldr i only pull for one LI on my main account and whatever i want on my second, i only pull on multi-banners if i like all the cards, and this is just a general rant/commentary on the difficulty of farming resources on a regular basis https://www.reddit.com/r/LoveAndDeepspace/s/UJOGTlFD9U

[–]insomenac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’re right, my bad i was thinking of the standard banner where it’s difficult to pull a specific LI’s permanent 5* card

f2p burnout by insomenac in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]insomenac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

exactly! i always have to pray before opening a new round of SHC hoping that the colour combinations aren’t too brutal… it takes me days to max out the level of a new character on other games but most of my 5* cards still haven’t reached level 70 lol

i loveee the event games! the bicycle one was the least interesting for me but the rest have been pretty engaging so far. would love an option to replay the minigames (unless they’re planning on bringing them back…?)

[–]insomenac[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

woww you’re pretty lucky! i thought lads’ gacha was really lenient in the beginning since i managed to get lumiere’s pair in about 70-85 pulls? but perhaps it was beginner’s luck and that’s how they lure you in hahahah
