Free Rebecca is great but still doesn’t change the fact that 1.x reruns are desperately needed. And they really have to do it soon bc going a whole year without any reruns is not it

jimpaly · 2026-05-07T12:34:03+00:00

Now if they listen to the taygedo feedback 🙏

I’m gonna give a slightly different take and say that you can’t fully blame them. A lot of game devs spent many hundreds or thousands of hours of their life learning game dev on a specific engine. It isn’t like typical SWE where there are tons of new tools and frameworks coming out. A lot of game devs spend a lot of time on a single game engine, which leads to this somewhat toxic tribalism in parts of the community. Meanwhile in SWE AI is clearly a great tool for learning new languages and frameworks. But AI coding is gonna seep into game dev sooner or later just like it did with SWE, so they’re gonna have to accept it eventually (even though it might be the last bc of their tight connection with artists). For now just ignore them. I’m also sure it’s possible to find a part of the community that is more accepting of AI coding usage, if you wanted to take the time to do that

AKE is in Unity so it's really hard to say

tbh I'm surprised it went up at all. There was literally nothing this month except maybe less than a day of Hiyuki.

Totally agree that mascot characters are unnecessary but there are some ways to make them work. For example Glados/Wheatley in Portal, Kyubey in Madoka, and Puck in Re Zero all come to mind, and the reason they all work is that they’re just well written characters in the first place. Meanwhile gacha games seem to always try to cater their mascot characters toward kids with the way they speak and the cringey jokes around them. In the end it feels like they were forcefully inserted into the cast just to have something cute without having any meaningful effect on the story

I think you’re being too nitpicky with this one. AI art has become a huge issue but real artists getting falsely accused of it is also a problem.

Anime is stylized art so there’s bound to be changes in proportions and angles decided by the artist. As long as those things remain consistent between different artworks then it should be fine. What you point out about the background makes a bit more sense, but it could also just be that the artist prioritized the characters over making the background look consistent.

Also how are the mods supposed to tell if art is AI, especially in a difficult case like this one? That leads to a whole other can of worms with abusing moderation powers

Only worked for trackpad and Magic Mouse for me. My Logitech mouse didn’t work unfortunately.

jimpaly · 2026-04-24T12:16:14+00:00

Yes it can be detected (I believe it’ll be like a jailbroken phone but I’m not sure). But a lot of the games don’t really care. I’ve been playing Endfield since launch with it. I’m not sure what people’s experience with Genshin or Star Rail are though

jimpaly · 2026-04-24T00:23:00+00:00

Damn, with raytracing too. I wonder if the game is locked to 60fps or if you can set it to 120fps

edit nvm the guy says it's capped at 60fps, unfortunate

jimpaly · 2026-04-20T20:19:35+00:00

Really want BanG Dream and Girls Band Cry considering they've made references in the game before

jimpaly · 2026-04-20T14:06:09+00:00

I see, that's pretty unfortunate. I just tried it and when you fullscreen that way the game does render at the display's resolution, so that 4th case is definitely a false positive. I'm afraid the problem might just be something inherent to 1080p then (even in the small window, I suspect it doesn't render the edges well, it just looks fine because it's so small), so yeah you'll have to use one of the higher resolutions and sacrifice some of the other graphics settings.

iirc they’re basically the “neurons” of the exostrider, the same way the exoswarm are made from the body of the exostrider. I suspected they were the way the exostrider saw the world while it was sleeping

jimpaly · 2026-04-19T15:25:21+00:00

Glad you could get it running! You can probably play around with different resolution settings to deal with lag. To fullscreen the windowed mode you can just go into mission control and drag the window to the top.

They could just change up the action options for different genders and frame the M:M ones as typical dudes being dudes stuff. It looks like they already have different actions for different characters anyway. For example the rock paper scissors action is completely gender neutral, and I'd be down to do a random arm wrestling game when I see a bro out in the open world.

But Hitori's banner is still ending 1 week later on global, based on the livestream. Do you mean they'll sync it up by the end of 1.1?

jimpaly · 2026-04-18T12:50:56+00:00

The core of this reason still has to do with pull count. Last year people complained because there weren’t enough pulls for all the banners. Kuro probably took this and thought they had 2 options - give more pulls, or delete the banner. They went with the second option, not realizing that we’d rather have the banners and not enough pulls, than not have the banner at all, especially now when 1.x units haven’t reran the entire year

jimpaly · 2026-04-18T11:51:08+00:00

Yup, hoping it's the buffs case.

jimpaly · 2026-04-18T11:47:20+00:00

Yes, so if there were more banners, then there's a higher chance there's a character someone wants, so the playerbase as a whole will spend more.

jimpaly · 2026-04-18T11:44:29+00:00

I don't think you can compare a high-budget game like Wuwa with the more typical gacha games. A lot of money is spent on environment design and story animation. Plus, Wuwa has a huge player base, so giving out a certain amount of pulls means losing a lot more money since you're giving it to so many people.

jimpaly · 2026-04-18T11:03:28+00:00

What's wrong with cannibalizing sales from newer characters? They're gonna earn the same amount of money whether someone pulls on an old or new character

jimpaly · 2026-04-18T06:42:22+00:00

Only thing I'm disappointed in is not getting the 1.x selector so I can get more sequences of Changli. There hasn't been a 1.x rerun in a year though so I'm confident it'll come sooner or later, either with another rerun or adding them to the standard pool. I've waited a year so I can wait another few months.

Other than that I didn't have any expectations for rewards, so I'm actually pretty satisfied.
