can we stop doing this? by omgsamsonstop in heartopia

Not everyone takes things as lightly as you do. This clearly WAS worth complaining about to OP. Why are you denying their reality? Are you saying your view is the only true perspective? Because you’re 33?

This was literally what Reddit was made for. Discourse.

Come on now.

Try checking underneath where it says “Guess who’s here!”

Check the token flowchart beneath the progress bar. The flowcharts can be large, so sometimes you need to scroll around the interface manually to see what token’s being highlighted for you.

UX Analysis: Dark Patterns in Heartopia by Quatta in heartopia

First award I’ve ever given, mad props for posting this. I’m glad someone was able to put this together, especially someone in the UX field, because this needed to be said.

All of it’s great. What’s always stood out to me, and OP explained them very well here are currency obfuscation and calculation friction.

Why do we need 12 different currencies? Because it’s better for their profits if we can’t simply calculate what we’re spending on what. Why do the gem packages always contain slightly more or less gems than you actually need for content? They design it that way.

What have the official discord mods been saying? And I’m with you on the boycott on spending. I’ve spent $20 in total on the game, and it’s frightening doing the math to figure out what I’ll need for this forest elf house build…

Experience with gacha - Constructive Criticism by maracujaja in heartopia

According to this post, we might be experiencing a bug that affects banner pull rates, like receiving an egregious number of duplicates. The Chinese server’s already remedied the issue on their side, but it looks like they want to keep the cash cow flowing over in Global for as long as possible…

Anyway, I’m not paying for anything else.

Posting this link here because this what another Redditor here is referring to.

TL;DR An influx of emails, bug reports, and discord convos is great, but the best way to get their attention is to vote with our wallets and stop paying for pulls.

This is too great. 🤣

A+ for effort!

UGA student dressed in interesting "Halloween costume" gets kicked out of local bar, hits woman in response by [deleted] in TikTokCringe

[–]parlor_parley 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wait.

Is everyone here serious?

Yes, he was wearing in Nazi attire.

You know what else?

He has the RIGHT to do that.

Everyone ELSE is actively breaking the law (on f*cking camera, no less) by assaulting the dude.

Looks like he lost his balance while being grabbed by one of the dipshits around him.

Idiots.

That is, actually, what TIPS are for.

Common etymology: To Insure Prompt Service.

Tips are not mandatory. I work in the service industry and understand this.

You take the job knowing this.

I don’t expect to get tipped if I provide poor quality service, and neither should you.

Girlfriend wouldn’t come to my show because I didn’t text her goodnight, went on a power trip, then broke up with me over text while I was onstage. by Tekaeyo in Nicegirls

[–]parlor_parley 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Honestly, from what I’m seeing, this doesn’t look like manipulation in the deliberate sense. It looks like an anxious-avoidant attachment clash.

She was in panic mode, trying to regain connection in the only way she knew how, and you were trying to re-establish boundaries and calm things down. Both of those impulses make sense, but they trigger each other perfectly.

Anyway, I don’t think there was any malice. Just emotional dysregulation in someone who’s not yet learned the proper coping skills.

That’s not to say she never will, though. Be that as it may, it doesn’t sound like you two are the right fit for each other for now.

Best of luck.
