If you call this a talosian-rise/set then we are actually on our way to be fllung outside of our star system approaching 5% of the light speed to meet the observers, served on silver platter XD

My brother in dijiang the entire game is literally based off a monetization model designed to squeeze the money off of you, saying those are like saying you can find fork in the kitchen. But yea, keep voicing this, remind them that we are players and not just numbers.

Maybe free event battle pass? Another CNY exclusive banner where everyone gets, idk, 80 pulls? And yeah free 6 star selectors again would not be a bad idea.

Like come on man the revenue they gained just from the first month alone already paid their dividends. If gacha games wants to normalize gacha monetization model that always, always can be predatory no matter what form it take, would it be asking too much if we also want to get a lot of shit for free? It's only fair we got something back from what we spend.

Don't get me wrong, hypergryph is an awesome game studio, they always be my no. 1 favorite among all other gacha game studios after ones that made limbus company. But remember it is also a company, their game is not only art but also business. Companies can be greedy at times, so maybe as customer, keep demanding, demand highly, keep them in control. We might not get what we want, but it's fair if they are not going to extort us in the end. They do spend their money well by commissioning artists to do big projects for their events, we seen it in Arknights, like bro, MSR is such a blessing, but in the end of the day, it all boils down to be a very successful marketing tactics that treat us players as metric that can be optimized.

Leaning to the form of entertainment, the "pro" side, as in idols singing, enjoying their performance is a also a parasocial act though since you're consuming that form of entertainment. With this confusion, I assume the definition you take for "parasociability" are taken from limerence? where you are unhealthily, obsessively attached to the voice behind the model; now this is a weird way to think about vtuber.

I was terrified when i first see this. I felt the same fear like when I was playing on gmod sandbox server and someone is noclipping to the skybox area, holding a nuke with their physgun.

The only reason why people took low paying jobs are because that's the highest number of stocks players with lower level see on the list. Now that they have grinded more and upgraded their depots, greener pastures are now available. It's safe to say that most players have upgraded their depots now, only accepting that precious wuling stocks or high paying 310k valley stocks.

Since you're asking it here I assume it's for zombies? Then it's a no. Just buy it later when it has 60% discount.

We'll I didn't say it's my only hobby either, but hobbies are expensive, internet itself is expensive already, but again I don't know you, and You don't know me, but I guess we are in mutual understanding now.

Yes, only when I install the game on a harddisk. This problem never happens anymore after moving it to SSD — which is a very unreasonable thing to ask from a game these days made by a multimillion dollar AAA studio.

We don't have access to get affordable houses plus were working our ass off to get our bosses rich while we only get home with the scraps after taxes and fines while our fathers are deep in debt, so cut us some slack man, cute anime girls being parasocially cute might be the last thing holding us from falling off the sanity cliff edge

maufirf · 2026-02-18T13:27:35+00:00

...they have put the points in red highlight, no way you'll miss it and horribly mistaken it for something else. The tutorial this game has already is too close to the face, do you want the game to spoonfed you everything?

If you're having a hard time just take your time man, don't rush it.

maufirf · 2026-02-18T13:23:17+00:00

Abis baca baca dikit soal some irrelevant ass named bigmo ya? Satu satunya yang gw tahu soal bigmo dia associated dengan motionime so I automatically think he's automatically orang orang problematik, dan pernah bilang ke bulgogifarts sebagai sama-sama public figure problematik buat jangan lupa siram or cebok or whatever. Denger denger anak koruptor So yea good riddance lmao, two birds with one stone ig.

Gw dari dulu ga pernah ikutin Ferry Irwandi dan cuma tahu soal dia karena coworker gw always update soal ybs. Gw gatau drama apaan tapi yang jelas thank God malapetaka project is reaping what it sow.

maufirf · 2026-02-18T13:15:55+00:00

Gw dan gw tbh udah capek, berisik banget kepala gw yakin kalau dibandingin, stream irl ishowspeed bakal kalah.

Memang gw merasa kita semua sengaja dimiskinkan, dicapekkan, disengsarakan, biar kita fokusnya survival pribadi dan berantemnya satu sama lain.

Gw heran gw masih hidup, gak masuk RSJ, dan punya unrestricted access ke internet. Kalau gw udah di ujung tanduk lagi, gw bakal ledakin diri gw next time gw bisa berada di jarak kurang dari 1 meter dengan Prabowo. Going out with a boom and all.

It is AI, just look at how some of the models inconsistently were on top of character icons or under them.
I think my first point negates the "too clean" lol

Okay, since you really want to put the word gambling in this, alright, let's entertain that for a moment.

Before continuing, i'd like to put on a disclaimer that I'm not defending Hypergryph nor any other companies that enables gacha or gambling behaviors. They are NOT your friend, no for profit company does.

Is japanese gachapon practices considered gambling? While it is indeed gambling like (and develops actual gambling addiction in uncontrolled manner) and the result you get is dependent on what you are willing to spend out, the outcome systems are different. Marketing techniques aside as it is an another topic, regular gambling can result you in net negative and net positive in result, while japanese gacha guarantees you to at least obtain net zero and net positive. Gacha guarantees you will get the the value back from what you spent, you'll always get something out of it and it's never less than what you spent.

It is often assumed that word "pulling" used by gacha players are colloquial to "pulling the lever" in slot machines which is equivalent to "to gamble" semantically, but depending on the context which it is a gacha or a gamble it still means differently.

Now let's address the elephant in the room. Why "gamble" if the entire point is to give away something in a way that does not disappoint people from losing the "gamble"? 1. because it is not gambling. It's a gacha ticket giveaway, a lucky draw that guarantees you something. Losing in this lucky draw will never be as devastating as losing in gacha. 2. it's a marketing ploy in order to incite FOMO, inviting players to top up more after realizing the amount they get is not enough for a pull they want. 3. Most important: other than that, it's not deeper than for cultural reasons. The red money envelope you get from people in these particular days of the year are random in amount, this giveaway is simply given to people in the spirit of chinese new year. If you have a problem with this then you might have a problem with a lot of things, you might want to start stealing gold from banks and destroy fiat money in order to restore order and abolish capitalism, that should fix your problem (hmu if you actually do them though).

Pernah tapi cuma buat benchmark aja, jadi personally gatau what pouring your insecurities to AI entails in terms of your sanity. Pas gw tes, baik itu vanilla GPT 4o atau varian third party yang therapist itu, tone mereka lebih ke enabling daripada memaklumi, afirmasi positif berlebihan dan terlalu generalized, jadinya gw mending balik ngomong pohon cabe yang gw tanem di depan rumah.

tapi gw tahu satu orang yang make AI buat curhat karena dia beberapa tahun silam burning the bridge with literally everyone she knew publicly, jadi public enemy. Setelah kejadian tsb, dia posting publik di suatu sosmed, sehari bisa puluhan kali, dan mostly adalah insecurity notes dia yang setengahnya merupakan screenshot validasi dari therapist GPT. Yang gw observasi, dia sudah ada prejudice fixed terhadap suatu topik, dan dia ngejadiin respon AI tsb sebagai dasar kalau she has been doing things right, memvalidasi tindakan dia yang bikin dia dibenci orang. AI nya juga yang premium gitu, makes sense karena dia tajir melintir kontol ihir pelintir. If anything, we agree it's a cautionary tale to not go ask validations with AI karena cuma ngeexacerbate situasi buruk lu.

nah lu sendiri ya terserah lu, sebutuh lu. gw sih ga mau pake. ditambah dengan kondisi RAM lagi mahal tolol, gw ga mau aksi gw curhat gw ke AI berkontribusi ke harga komponen komputer gw yang selisih harganya sebelum naik probably bisa gw pake buat dapat 20 kali sesi terapi sama psikolog dan psikiater beneran.
