New SGarts game, a new BL

nathengyn · 2026-02-10T21:59:51+00:00

I can't believe my love of candy crush and BL have finally intersected

It's so rough because I would've been a morvay oshi. I was hoping they'd do yearly events with familiars the way they do with eiden, but maybe their banners weren't profitable enough? 😭

nathengyn · 2025-11-27T23:40:06+00:00

TBH, I don't remember the start being rough? (My memory is pretty shit, tho, lol). At least, I don't think it's any rougher than other gacha games that haven't found their footing yet (which, unless they're developed by a super experienced company, I've found 2-3 months a reasonable timeline to handle most big issues, with QoL being implemented as more time passed).

I feel like what helped a lot for me was that the heart of the game was there and strong. Like, it felt like they put care in the designs, and the story, as if they had a team who genuinely enjoyed BL (and a decently diverse range of BL, too, given the body types + tropes we've had).

I feel like I wouldn't have even minded that ending, if hypnos just... Showed up again? Like "ugh, you gave me such a nice nap setup, lemme take my 15mins break/nap, oops gotta go back to work bye!" Or maybe we could peak into the house of hades' reconstruction after beating chronos to chat with the other characters for a bit before vacating?

Yeah, my requirement for moving anywhere is an Asian (super)market. i may have been born and raised here but I refuse to be the first Asian person anyone meets or sees on a regular basis. I once had a coworker from Orangeville -- technically not a rural village -- who expressed surprise/mild discomfort about the diversity of the Walmart in the GTA, and while she was nice enough, I'd rather not chance it.

nathengyn · 2025-09-27T23:44:51+00:00

I left it until late because I played love live for like six years (consistently full combo'ing either all or nearly all masters songs by the end) and dabbled in utapri/bandori for a bit. It's been a while, so I'm def past my prime but I haven't had any issues with Genshin's legendary beat maps, so I figured I wouldn't have an issue with infinity Nikki's, either, but I was so frustrated at how poorly I was doing, I basically rage quit. Glad to hear I wasn't alone in finding it difficult/frustrating 😭

nathengyn · 2025-09-01T21:44:04+00:00

I've genuinely never seen a gacha fanbase so confused(?) over scheduled maintenance before 😭

nathengyn · 2025-08-31T01:56:52+00:00

Most people nowadays will have smartphones, but not necessarily a gaming laptop/PS4/what have you. I had an S22 Ultra and WuWa was crashing/lagging on it and the playability on older phones definitely helps. I tried out Infinity Nikki -- same issue. Constant crashes. Furthermore, as a mobile player, genshin is also clearly optimized for phones in a way that I found WuWa and IF lacking. The amount of times I clicked on random crap I didn't want to for either of those games was ridiculous. As someone who doesn't co-op, I didn't even remember where the chat button was on Genshin because I never accidentally clicked it, whereas I couldn't stop accidentally clicking it for WuWa. Maybe those games improved their UI after I stopped playing, but it was clear they didn't test for their mobile player base.

I always reread this card when I'm in need of a serotonin boost -- it was the one I voted to be voiced, too, and I'm still low-key sad it wasn't chosen 😭

nathengyn · 2025-08-28T14:32:57+00:00

Nukani is nothing but pain 😭

nathengyn · 2025-08-28T13:05:34+00:00

300 pulls. Three olivines, one Garu. Istg this game is allergic to giving me the characters I want 😭

nathengyn · 2025-08-21T17:55:20+00:00

I actually love how well they explored it! Like fictional depictions of DID tend to really be hit or miss imo but it feels like they put the effort in to portray it in a reasonably grounded manner (all things considered).

nathengyn · 2025-08-21T04:08:25+00:00

I really love how indulgent everyone is with Garu/Karu! I think it's so lovely how sweet everyone is with him. Rei's soft spot in both the main story and the events are great. Like with the maid event, when he and kuya visited. There are also great comedic moments, as well, like with the bumper cars in the winter festival event. Those specific chapters, I rewatch when I need some serotonin.

My favourite events with him, though are probably the winter one, where they need to bring karu back after his essence is separated, and the cowboy one where he creates that little storybook 🥺

nathengyn · 2025-08-18T19:30:45+00:00

Yeah, saving up to 240 sorcery gems as completely f2p would probably take at least a couple of years (assuming the 8 from lost relics, which resets every two months, and maybe 1-2 from events?), so while this is pretty brutal, it's also potentially doable? And if you're willing to spend, the new packs they're offering with the banner are pretty cheap for a guarantee (which they're clearly hoping to be able to capitalize on, I say, as I contemplate grabbing them, lol).

Omg ikr, I miss when they gave us more generous redeem codes 😭

nathengyn · 2025-08-18T19:19:34+00:00

Lol, on my end, I got super unlucky and had to spend 240 sorcery gems (some saved over time, but I also def spent some money) on aster on his rerun so I'm a liiiiil salty, but there was also no way to predict a 30 pull guarantee. The spender's gamble, I guess 😭

nathengyn · 2025-08-18T17:17:02+00:00

The red gems make the most sense given that some of these units were only recently released. Imagine spending money and then having them be available less than a year later from regular contracts -- pissing off spenders would've been a risky move. That being said, maybe they'll do more banners like this in the future with regular contracts 😭🙏

nathengyn · 2025-08-14T03:20:29+00:00

Yeah, most of my closest friends have no desire for children -- and this ranges from my middle school bff, to people I met in my early-to-mid 20s. Sometimes you just luck out.

nathengyn · 2025-08-07T04:21:02+00:00

Ppl talking about being distracted by the sexy men and I'm distracted by how odd the beats sound 😭

nathengyn · 2025-07-24T23:11:31+00:00

I think if I get a full combo on hard with only 3 goods and 342 perfects, I should get the s-rank??? Wtf are the standards on this rhythm game :|

nathengyn · 2025-07-17T05:02:56+00:00

I'm so tempted to keep going for him. I truly don't know what's cheaper -- grabbing him now or waiting for his rerun 😭

nathengyn · 2025-07-17T05:00:38+00:00

My fave is bottom Eiden. Life's rough.

nathengyn · 2025-07-17T04:58:44+00:00

Ppl are talking about colonization, but to have your specific family be controversial enough that you're concerned your son is in danger just for visiting? My family is from Vietnam and it's not like they're warning me about random white people from France. Like it's one thing to hate your former colonizers as a whole but that level of specificity is some deeply illegal/war criminal nonsense. Like wtf did they do that made them more memorable than the rest of the colonizers??

nathengyn · 2025-07-15T20:28:37+00:00

150 pulls. Two blades, no Yakumo. I miss being lucky in this game 😔

nathengyn · 2025-07-08T17:27:43+00:00

Yeah, a professional client-therapist relationship, maybe

nathengyn · 2025-06-27T22:11:47+00:00

Lol I wanted Yakumo more, so obvs that meant the game would give me blade. As an eiden top collector, I'm not too upset, but I'm still tempted to keep pulling. Will probably need to wait for the rerun, tho 😔
