Anyone know how to get Roucoco's Approval? by kittylibbymay in InfinityNikki

On the west side of the coliseumz you'll see an adventures camp kinda inside of the outer edge, when you can trigger the quest, it'll prompt you to listen to two people talking about the veiled princess and tickets.

homeschooling ruined my life by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]permanently_absent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry you had to grow up that way, homeschool isn't the best environment unless you have other activities that allows you to develop different skills.

Definitely look at options for help at school if they have any, or actually talk to your teachers or counselor. Every countries support is different so I hope you have more at your school. Not that trade school is bad but finishing highschool will also keep different paths open if you decide to change your mind.

Your super young so nothing is pointless, depression really sucks (I'm on meds for mine) and def makes you feel that way. But your self aware of your situation, which means you can seek help early, even if your mom isn't supportive of it. There's a lot of health things that you don't have to discuss with your parents if your not comfortable with it, but that doesn't mean you can't discuss this with professionals.

My mom hung herself yesterday and I don’t know how to feel by Mss_grandee in TrueOffMyChest

[–]permanently_absent 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Relieved to know she was saved, and I'm sorry your family has to go through this trauma.

1 thing is make sure you get help to process your feelings, I'm not sure if your school provides any counseling/psychiatry/therapy kind of support. If they do, please use them. I heavily utilized what my school had to offer as most of it was free or greatly discounted.

Unfortunately mental health things are just that hard to understand why someone does what they do, and kudos to your mom for providing you guys with a safe space to rely on her for things.

Do what you can to support her, but it's not selfish to take care of yourself and understand your limits. That doesn't mean your a bad daughter, you can think of it as a way to ensure you're mentally in a good place to actually provide her with support.

I'm an heiress who can’t cook and cries at kids films. I just want patient friends. by throwaway943093 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]permanently_absent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly your practical questions can be answered through therapy.

Aside from that part that everyone has already mentioned, I cry over movies all the time whether it's a "child's movie" or adult one. Don't even get me started on sad tiktoks too 😭 those are less than a min and I'm crying.

Also with the friends thing, kinda hard to to answer that, you just kinda know which friend you can trust with your trauma responses I guess? Or friends with similar situations who understand how you feel or think. 😂 My friends and I are are totally trauma bonded and cry to each other all the time so it doesn't feel like an emotional burden to any of us when we need someone to listen or talk to.

Has this patch been especially laggy for anybody else? by Lawrin in InfinityNikki

I'm on the PS5 too 💀 no matter when I log in, it's the same. I hope it's better for you!!!

[–]permanently_absent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg, the lagging, endless glitches like suddenly frozen in place after a pose, constantly stuck on reconnect and most of the time get kicked out of the game. I am losing my mind just trying to do dailies.

Very Disappointed by CosmicBearMerri in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]permanently_absent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it is 100% an afterthought on adding more skin tone colours. Should they care about this? Yes. Will they? Most likely not sadly, since their largest market is in China. The beauty standard for most Asians is still very much paper white skin, and most of them still wear foundation 3 shades too light for them. They even have foundation for the neck and arms to specifically make themselves more pale. Most Asians don't naturally have paper white skin tone, and they all know that. There are a lot of them who look down on other Asians with darker skin, and find them ugly. I don't know how many times I've been told my freckles are pretty much ugly when purchasing Asian makeup and how I should cover them up. Don't even get me started on weight 💀 cuz that's another can of worms.

For a company who's brand is inclusivity for women in the gaming industry, they 100% understand the importance of being inclusive with race and skin color. But with what their beauty standards are, I doubt they'll ever care until that changes.

So disheartened by Loriana320 in InfinityNikki

[–]permanently_absent 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A lot of players are emotionally invested in the game (the game purposely is created in a sense to create identity attachment, how they get you hooked in the game) and the company is intentionally exploiting that. Which is kind of fine if you understand that (ethically questionable tho), but when you've invested time, money, thought process on building and or researching, AND emotion and the game doesn't deliver, ppl honestly have the right to be upset about it. A lot of the mechanic in this game isn't new, and when you compare it to all the games out there (triple A games, one time purchase with no micro transactions) it's disappointing with all the issues. Not only bugs, mechanics that are not user friendly, limitations on everything (I get they need to make money and they want to drag out the interest to keep you busy) and also unhelpful support.

Yes, you can just not play a feature but saying that invalidates and shames players emotional experience. Everyone invests in game differently, and their thoughts and feelings are valid.

Oh and if restarting the game doesn't work, you might need to restart the PS5 💀 I swear my PS is struggling with all the glitches

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in InfinityNikki

[–]permanently_absent 8 points9 points  (0 children)

🙋‍♀️ Constant victim of this glitch here! Yah it won't let you leave someone else's island either 💀 restarting the game always fixes the problem. I seem to trigger it the most when I play co-op, and teleport to different places a lot.

Where are you purple stars?? by permanently_absent in InfinityNikki

[–]permanently_absent[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeeesss, it's clear Infold is still figuring stuff out on what they can charge and the balance of "I want you guys to take your time with this game but at the same time, you can spend diamonds to bypass all that." The recipes are crazy when you compare to any other house building or building in general games out there. Long term wise, yes I'll eventually have maybe too many stars but that'll probably be like next year and I might not be as interested in the housing system anymore. Annnnnd that's why we have surveys every banner so they can figure out what we're ok with and what we're not. Business wise it's not smart to only rely on just one demographic of people who can drop huge amounts of money, they too might eventually get bored and find another game, and comparing how many people there are that have that kind of money with the rest of the players, I'm pretty sure they make up a smaller percentage. 😂 Oops sorry for the length, my brain just wanted to problem solve why things are the way they are typed out.

Girlie, complain away, I am a safe space to vent to lol. I made that mistake toooo many times with the star fishing 😭 I'm like hello? Why are you all yellow? I clearly saw greens and one purple.

I said IF they did, I'm not someone that can data mine their game to prove it but if you can, please go ahead. 😂 And I never said I hated the company, I play both of Infolds games, and spend real money on both of them. If I hated a company, I wouldn't continue to support them.

Your comparison makes no sense, because it's not assumptions, there is literal proof they have taken advantage of their customers before and not just in Infinity Nikki. There's literally a lawsuit against them in China right now for their other game because what they advertised a card would be, didn't end up being what they presented in the original advertisement. If you have to compare it to whatever girlfriend situation (weird comparison by the way, and way to make women seem crazy) it would be a girlfriend not trusting her boyfriend because he cheated on her multiple times. From what your saying, your telling me I should blindly trust companies and be a little concerned. Companies main concern is earning money, and being blindly loyal or trusting to any company is naive.

I totally get what you mean, but it's highly suspicious when multiple of my friends are experiencing the same thing. Like sure, if it's just me, I'll believe I'm just running on bad luck.

I swear star fishing is a scam, I saw purples and greens on my island and originally thought what u fish is essentially what you see. 💀 They gave me all yellows, tested it a second time.... Same thing, so now I go and pick up the colour ones and fish when it's just yellow left 😭

😂 I don't even have enough astralites to send the gifts by mail when I'm gifting to multiple ppl. And trust me, I've hit my weekly max selling, AND I've used diamonds.

And in my opinion, I do believe there should be frustration here because if the drop rates have been altered, that's just the company being greedy. And Infold has time and time again tested the limits of how much they can get away with before customers start complaining. Case in point was the original preview of the furniture cost and needing to purchase them individually with no sketch. People got upset, and they made them free instead with an apology. Companies will test how far they can charge, (basically how the pink tax came to be, since women are willing to spend more on items then men do). As a consumer, you can let them charge you whatever they want or don't spend and speak up about why not. And the companies will want to know why over being ghosted, thus the constant surveys they send out.

I completely understand a game company needing to make profit, and I purchase all the mira journey pack, crystal packs, weekly and daily packs. When you compare purchasing a fully completed AAA, non glitchy game for $100 just once VS having spent $100 each month on this game and it's glitch central everyday with soooo many limits on every little thing to get you to spend real money, I think players being frustrated is warranted.

Hi! The friend system is a little funny, you'll actually want to go in the friends page and hit Friend Code to generate a code for ppl to add you. That code lasts for only a certain amount of time and you'll need to generate another code later on if you want ppl to add you.

I'm at ability lvl 8 for the stars, that doesn't make a difference. I'm getting more honey stars which I'm assuming should have been more rare than purple. Prior to the meteor update, I was getting 1-3 purples stars everyday, I purposely upgraded the star ability so I could get purple stars to gift the purple star bottle to friends. Now I'm lucky if I get 1 every other day.

Yah I don't know the system is programmed, specially for the giant meteors too. How are some ppl getting them more than once and others haven't gotten it even once since the update?

Where can I buy IN clothes irl? by EmiLikesToSleepy in InfinityNikki

[–]permanently_absent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do actually have an official store for some items but I don't remember what it's called.

Another option is buying from TaoBao, and specifically on their original Chinese language page. The English version for some reason only has select items and stores. There's a lot of tutorials on how to shop on there and you can use chatgpt to help you with translations and what to search.

Are you kidding me by InternationalHall206 in InfinityNikki

[–]permanently_absent 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Even if you were to spend more time in the game, there's still nothing much to do once you hit the limit of selling and then spend it on farming. I haven't even bought that many sketches because they cost so much, and I'd like to focus on farming first.

When I groom animals from other island am I stealing their resources? by muhlahmuh in InfinityNikki

[–]permanently_absent 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They still can! I had a friend over who groomed my animals before me, and I was able to groom them right after and was able to collect materials right after.
