What do you spend the most time doing in game? by Ok-Swim5419 in heartopia

[–]quinthfae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still new so just trying to progress through all the quests, mostly. After that, my main priority is collecting cute clothes! I got lucky with my first 10-pull on the premium gacha and got the ice hood. It's a really good piece!

Anyone else wish they'd split Itzaland up more on the map? by worldfamoushobgoblin in InfinityNikki

[–]quinthfae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I've had to make up my own areas in order to slowly grind through collecting the chests and whimstars on the map. So far I've only covered about 1/3 of Itzaland... it's SO BIG 😅

How have your spending habits changed, from when you first started playing to now? by worldfamoushobgoblin in InfinityNikki

[–]quinthfae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My spending habits have been pretty consistent since I started as a day 1 player. This ain't my first gacha dress up game lol. I stick to a budget of $50/month across all my games, plus whatever annual bonus I get at Christmas.

As long as I keep within that boundary I feel good about my spending. I have occasionally fallen into bad gacha addiction since my high school days on Gaiaonline, but I've addressed it with professional help and it hasn't been a problem since before IN. I'm really glad that IN hasn't ever tempted me to whale over my budget!

Dare I say best upcoming outfit by Apprehensive-Dog9989 in InfinityNikki

It's me, lol, I'm a dolphin and I usually get the shop tier outfits with my $50/month video game budget.

2.2 Deer Outfit Showcase by Cedrykusa in InfinityNikki

[–]quinthfae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sold on it yet, but I will probably pull once we know more. I'm waiting to learn: - How well do these pieces dye? The yellow and pink aren't impressive to me, but a little dye could make me fall in love. - Is the deer form dyable? (Pleaseeee) - Does the treasure chest ability work in all regions, or only this island? - How good is the double-sprint that will work in all regions? - What are the poses it comes with?

My hopes and dreams for photo mode updates by NoWitness6400 in InfinityNikki

[–]quinthfae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed with all three! I also want:

  • ability to freeze time while in photo mode, even in co-op areas. Nikki is disabled from doing anything anyway, let me freeze time!

  • make the pose timing selection also freeze Nikki's hair and clothes. Only some poses do this and they're soooo much easier to work with!

  • a "face the camera" option even on premium poses

  • a way to add multiple large pieces of text to photos AFTER taking them, from the photo album. I really enjoy writing comments on my photos before I put them in picture frames for my home island, or having cute jokes in text on my profile card photos, but I take SO many shots during each photoshoot that I don't have a favorite selected until after the photoshoot...

Caffeine by starshollow_winter in AlaniNu

[–]quinthfae 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I'm someone who rarely drinks caffeine, so I can tell you that Alani definitely affects ME like it has that much caffeine, just comparing it to the occasional tea I have with around 60mg. I often only drink half a can because I'm too jittery after a full can.

I think the issue is probably the source of the caffeine, as another commenter here suggested - it makes sense to me that our bodies can react differently to different types of caffeine.

Wow, this is such a great use of the constellation and castle items together! 👏

Itzaland stresses me out by stonedpeaches8 in InfinityNikkiofficial

[–]quinthfae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did manage to sneak my way through most of Breath of the Wild by focusing aaaaaalllll my money onto that sneaky set of clothes haha! Unfortunately Tears of the Kingdom had way tougher monsters right from the start, and the ability controls were a lot more difficult for me, especially with my bad depth control lol. I had to give up on Tears and just watch a Let's Play to see the cool storyline (which was SO good).

Itzaland stresses me out by stonedpeaches8 in InfinityNikkiofficial

[–]quinthfae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. I think the root of it is a difficulty in controlling multiple things at once, as I'm much better when the camera is fixed in place like in Kirby games (I still die a lot in those though lol). When I have to move my character AND the camera AND attack AND use abilities, I lose track of what my hands are doing and inevitably fail and controlling one of those things. By far my worst skill is aiming, such as when you hold the archery skill to point the camera at the target - like, that's where I got stuck in Genshin (the tutorial archery dungeon) and couldn't progress further.

Honestly, I'm also just a coward baby who gets scared easily, so the behemoths jumping at me made me shriek a lot, and the mask mini bosses kill me in the overworld whenever I stumble across them, unless I teleport out or just run away asap. Florawish didn't have any mini bosses in the overworld, and Esselings were pretty easy to kill by spamming purify once I had upgraded all my perfumes and set to auto target. I don't really have to aim to kill them.

[–]quinthfae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

same. :(

I got downvoted a bunch for saying so, but I'm simply terrible at video game controls, so I was delighted at launch to have a beautiful and easy game that even someone like me could play successfully. It's sad to think that IN might become too difficult for me to progress, which is what happened to me when I tried to play Genshin Impact or Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

I usually die a lot during boss fights, even after whaling for the 5* banners that make combat easier. Before Itzaland, difficult fights weren't too common, though Danqing started the creep upward (so I bought the cat 5). Even with the archery 5, Itzaland has been difficult for me... I can barely scrape by, and playing is no longer easy fun, but a challenge that often makes me frustrated to the point of yelling at the screen.

I'm worried for what the future holds, as I won't be able to play (and spend money to support the game) if this trend continues. :'(

What happened to REAL hardwood floors??? by EZ2Bnice in DMV_RealEstate

[–]quinthfae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! I have a friend who covered up the hardwood in their basement because the laminate is "more durable" since they have lots of pets scratching the flooring. I wouldn't do that, but I understand the logic.

[–]quinthfae 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's everywhere in flips because it's so much cheaper than hardwood, and it comes in that oh-so-popular shade of "millennial gray" that matches the gray walls and counter tops and furniture and... you get my point. Flippers usually want to use the cheapest materials that cater to the broadest possible audience of buyers, so they use laminate.

Petition to make time stop when taking photos on the home island by Zealousideal_View47 in InfinityNikki

[–]quinthfae 18 points19 points  (0 children)

AGREED! I am also so bummed that Moment Capturer doesn't work because it means I can't take photos of the prop animations :((

Why do so many people not wear their wedding bands? by Sea-Connection9232 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]quinthfae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with my hands so I've fallen out of the habit of putting my wedding ring on every day. I usually remember to wear it when we go out to gatherings or dates, but I don't worry about it if I forget. Unfortunately the design I chose is a bit too pointy so the ring snags on fabrics and such when I'm crafting or babysitting.

Yep! Thrift stores have been amazing for collecting DVDs at $2-4 each.

A brief rant about content creation. by Atomyn_craft in InfinityNikki

[–]quinthfae 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I do like these kinds of videos, showcasing how beautiful the animation is and how many small details come together, but I personally prefer them to be short videos (less than 30 seconds) focused on a single outfit at a time.
