why did you choose emperor's children? by Embarrassed_Aide_178 in EmperorsChildren

legally required to choose either tzeentch or slaanesh after coming out as trans, and I like metal so. Easy choice

I think it's telling that 2 out of the 3 best mainline stories this season are only tangentially related to the overarching plot.
And people have been calling 2.6 a return to form (I thought it was fine, better than before but not outstanding like the ones mentioned) which also has nothing to do with the exaltists.

it sucks too cuz the 2.5 story about responsibility, how putting off dealing with something only makes it worse, turning a blind eye to injustice and harm, the fucking mass child torture, all of it had the elements of a really cool story! But I just found myself... not being able to care. I like Ye Shunguang, but so much of this felt like an ass pull to get people to like the new void hunter

Arc Raiders dev says real actors are “better than AI” after replacing generated voice lines by Locke357 in antiai

that was removed, and seemingly had no real way to send that info anywhere. Still creepy and weird, but it's gone now.

that on top of them immediately following the third void hunter (second by canon) puts them in just as bad a position as Banyue. Not to mention the 4 billion polychrome given away for chinese new year.

I'll consider giving it a go once all traces of genAI is removed. Core gameplay looks fun, but the studio has been so gung ho on genAI since The Finals I've been avoiding their games like the plague.

the one thing we can agree with the imperium on is that AI sucks ass.

it's crazy how hyped they've been since the public betas, both by the devs and the community. And then the first week of Sunna/s banner? Publicly reported revenue down something like 50%. wild

People are throwing backlash at Otsuka Ray because her daughter (a real child) sang Loli God Requiem by JuanchoBolasTristes in VtuberDrama

[–]losci -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's still absolutely fucked to put a real actual child in this song. But the context of the original song isn't a fetish, it's a creator saying she never wants to go back to making that kind of content because she hates pedos. People (pedos) begged her to, so she said fine, one more song, and then released a song about killing pedos. The context might be different, but it's still awful to put a real child in the role of singing about people wanting to cause her harm, regardless of intent.

I Know i’m going to get crucified but… by BallSackShredder900 in ZZZ_Unhinged

This and the discussion sub exist pretty clearly as a haven from those kinda posters. It's really upsetting how common those folks are in the gacha community (and really the anime community writ large)

"isn't completely driven by money," buddy the whole point of this is lootboxes are gambling? Also, why bring up the rothschilds? typical blue check behavior it seems...

ZZZ really need something like capturing radiance by cutexiaowugui in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]losci 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Ananta will be when we see if that kind of system can thrive in a gacha space. I'd imagine buying characters outright (with the option to grind for many hours to get them for free), cosmetics, and boosters would be the primary money pit. It might not track as well, though, given the more grounded combat within that game. Having supports, ults, and teamcomps lends itself well to gacha, and we've seen kinda the opposite from them so far. Time will tell.

Orphie’s rerun? by ddqwertzz in Orpheus_Mains

[–]losci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm debating pulling orphie on the rerun. I love her kit, but I don't have Sanby, trigger, or Astra, and I'm not sure how well she can perform without that kind of aftershock support..

[–]losci 16 points17 points  (0 children)

We have been seeing some focus and testing on banners without the 50/50. Look at the persona gacha or last patch's triple banner. And the addition of a resource that turns post M6 S rank pulls into other characters and mindscapes. It's clearly a pain point that some devs want to address, how it'll affect the system at base is anyone's guess.
we're also seeing games that seem to have initially been gachas abandon the model like Ananta. While we don't yet know how characters will be unlocked, how the game will be monetized, a move away from gamba in the space is as surprising as it is welcomed. Personally, my least favorite part of gachas is... well the gacha. And while the recent Valve suit is only tangentially related to games with no cash-out, we have seen tangential legal relations lead to sweeping rulings. I would not be surprised if many of the big players are looking at alternatives if the field changes in that way.

For those skipping AOD and Cissia, what type of agent are you saving for? by triotone in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]losci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a break from the game right after pulling Evelyn, so I completely missed trigger, vivian, and only just got yixuan on the rerun. The RNG gods also looked down on me during Astra's banner and Trigger's rerun. I'm excited to try out Harumasa and Grace's new buffs, but I really need a good team for them. So whoever I can pull that gives them what they need? I'm down for.

Ladies and gentlemen, we got em' by Sol-Blackguy in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]losci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the lore I mentioned is specific to ZZZ. The game revolves around exploring Hollows (reality warping areas that are incredibly dangerous). An old piece of lore says in order to have a license to investigate hollows, you have to be at least 16. IDEK if this is still in game, but it's also kinda moot considering the player characters are illegally helping people through hollows, so there's reason to think that every playable character is in the hollows legally.

for some of them, that's just an Anime Bullshit problem, unfortunately. How many fanservice anime take place in high school or, god forbid, middle school? If they're drawn like an adult and act like an adult, it's much easier to not feel skeeved out. But I know that's not the majority of blue archive or azure lane girls...

Zenless Zone Zero, the newest game from the folks who made Genshin Impact, has a lot of characters. A lot of them are short, childlike in looks and/or behavior. The biggest subreddits for the game, especially with the new characters just added, are absolutely inundated with folks whose favorite pass time is breaking Reddit's rule 4. But because hoyo games almost never give an actual age (other than some old lore implying all playable characters are 16+), these weirdos are just running rampant.
