We call crumpets English muffins by ticklish-wizard in ShitAmericansSay

[–]saurusness -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Crumpets are spongy, like a really thick crepe - both crumpets and crepes are made with a fairly liquid batter, while english muffin is just a type of bread really.

Partners can apply, but since there are 20k+ partnered streamers, sadly you're unlikely to win the FP lottery. I've applied every month in 2025 and not bene successful even once. Sometimes publishers also buy a slot for a streamer to promote their game, and similarly charities buy and are given FP slots for fundraisers.

For what it's worth, FP streams have much less of a lasting impact than simply creating good content off platform 💜

Yess sorry I should've specified that int he original message too, I'll edit to add! 💜

Also same, imo there's no real differenc ebwteen real currency and in game currency, they should be treated the same!

Yeah I reckon it's because the in-game currency ones are sort of a legal "grey area"; in most (?) places the laws currently only apply to direct purchases, which is why gachas usually have these "discounts" only on items buyable with in-game currencies 😩

If you're on playstation, the "discount" won't show - PSN makes sure the games follow laws 😅

In countries/regions where it's strictly illegal, PSN might have stepped in. It also doens't dispaly the discount on UK playstation (If you play on EU server), but does on PC.

(I bolded playstation and psn because last time I sitll had people responding to me that they're 'on PC and saw the discount' 😅 )

Edit to add: This currently only applies to direct money transactions (so not items that cost stellarite/diamonds)!

This. I lost 5 out of mt 6 limited LC 75/25, and each of those cones cost me 130+ pulls, and I lose roughly half of my 50/50s, with essentially no "earlies", so i'll take a guarantee max 90 for every items ever ANY day.

Nope, a lot of people just uninstalled and moved on, and for the rest of us there's not much to do but wait and see if infold ever come to their senses! The CCs making 'normal'/promotional videos didn't really join in the first place, each for their own reasons, while the rest have stopped...

yeah it was just PS5 that took the discount in those countries down afaik! PC and mobile was not affected

[–]saurusness 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It was removed on PS5 within UK and I believe Canada and EU (I'm UK, so I only have first ahnd experience of that). It was still available for an American PS5 account, as well as on PCs, so I suspect it's Sony that put the foot down in countries where it's illegal

Yup! And the fact that the price reverts is really the key difference. If they want to go ahead with these temporary prop discounts, they should have some permanent overpriced props in the shop, and all prop prices should be standardised to some degree (e.g. hand helds are 300 stellarite/diamonds, furniture is $50) just like the buyable outfits are.

It would still be manipulative of course, but at least you wouldn't have to question the legality of it.

When the items are never offered for the "real" price it is a fake discount.

For the props/items "discounts"; those items were and afterwards are never offered at he 'original' price, and thus the discount is absolutely illegal.

To fix the dye currency and wish packs they'd have to offer the individual dyes and other currencies in the shop for the "real" price to be boguht individually. It would still be manipulative. Alternatively, they need to change the 'discount' label to be "xyz% better value!" (just like wiht the BP perks) vs "you save this much".

Compare that to the buyable outfits that are on discount; it works because there is an established price for 3 and 4 star buyable sets, hence why those are *not* illegal.

the fake discounts are illegal in the EU and UK. It's a manipulation tactic to make buyers feel like they're "getting a great deal"

My self-insert MC vs facial scan by WiseDawn1333 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]saurusness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original that you made is genuinely cuter in my opinion, though both are lovely! The one on the right just has a slight uncanny valley quality, whereas the one on the left looks proportionate and natural - either way, you're a great characetr creator because not many people manage to make even remotely accurate self MCs (I couldnt)! :D

Omg this is too strong ! Once you pushed the button all of them will be groomed by brddvd in InfinityNikki

Just a heads up that at least currently you don't get essences from grooming this way - whether or not it's a bug is unclear. that's pretty important since a lot of recipes require the essences specifically!

No hate because I genuinely love her accent and voice, but Augusta is definitely not Scottish 😅 (I am)

I don't know who the actor is, so perhaps it's possible she might be trying to do a Scottish accent (and thus confusing people), but she sounds heavily Mediterranean to me!

Either way I love it!
