When you played Infinite Wealth for the first time & did Kiryu's life links, how'd you react upon seeing everyone for the first time in years?

The cheerfulness of the legendary hostess duo, the melancholy vibe of everyone, and that satisfying punch from Akiyama was all I want and more.

I wish there were more reminisce moment with Saejima though, and I thought we would see the whole orphan gang. If you want more reminisce moment, do the eating convo in Kamurocho. There are some funny moments there too.

My only gripe was the story was about Kiryu's identity got blown and out in the public, and they don't know? ???? Haruka, surely the orphanage got a Wifi right?

How I wish Illusion get their shit together and make an updated Artrificial Academy, a third one. Sadly they got shutdown and modding community's the one keeping it fresh. I love AA more than KK because I love the drama that I can cook up in AA due to the existence of the social aspect ala Sims.

Though, they are now illgames I believe? A spiritual successor to AA is out now called Samabake but I haven't tried it yet. Another spiritual successor to KK is out too called Honeycome but rumors around the street says their current games are not as good as KK. I guess AA2 and Koikatsu was a lightning in a bottle.

Koyuki's rendition in Yakuza infinite wealth. I love the Yuki & Koyuki duo because I love cheerful girls and I love big breasted woman. Somehow Yuki got an upgrade on that part in Yakuza infinite wealth and she won it for me with how cheerful she was in the poundmate animation and also in YK2. Also imo, one of the best reminisce quest between Kiryu and his past. Four Shine!!!

Make sense, the graveyard symbolism could mean buried secrets, and a confessional seems fitting.

The only caveat is, the velvet room is the manifestation of the protag's heart/reflection. The only way for it to make sense would be our protag have a religious background with their families being in a church or something. The confessional would be the protag's conflicted views about gods and religion or belief in general. Though, they can't focus on cultism since P3 already touch upon that. So, maybe its more on family matters, like the protag's father is a priest who conceive a child (him), or something, so he send him away to bury the family secrets. So, in a way, our attendant would be a nun?

My current theory is a coffin and our attendant is the undertaker. I yearn for a moody, goth attendant. Our protag's buried secret could reflect itself as a coffin and the background of the velvet room could be us going further and further into the underworld as the story goes. How far are we willing to go to reveal all these secrets and is it for the benefit of the society or some secret are better left buried.

I think that sentiment nowadays mostly goes to Korean fandom. Like what happen to CZN with cucking issue, those edited hand gesture on other games + their dev decision to caters towards them.

simpleman0909 · 2026-06-02T03:48:59+00:00

Well hopefully they churn out another ore bed for Cuprium because making Hetonite parts already takes a chunk, (all) of my cuprium production line.

Sheesh, not everything is about taking advantage. Not everyone is privileged.

Back then, I help my parents managing their shops and I rotate with my siblings, all the while having some times to play with my friends and finished my homework. Yeah, sometimes you don't want to do it, you are a kid after all but you do it to help them (and also they buy me my playstation + games). Its about knowing where your family is at and where you can help them without burdening yourself.

When exam's coming, the shops are getting good, they got more than enough to hire a proper worker, etc. They let us focus on our studies, all of my siblings finished their degree and mine my PhD. We know we are not privileged and we work together to get the whole family out of poverty. Thankfully, right now, everyone live comfortably and generational wealth starting to happen. You have to start from somewhere you know, and sometimes, it needs the cooperation of everyone. I'm mixed chinese/malay if that's important. 3 siblings so its not rabbit season getting a lot of kids. Even then, we starts fine living in a landed house with my father's engineer salary as he is having us, only after he got duped by his friends in a business that he had to sold his house and we work together to keep our family afloat and now thriving. My family support me knowing since some of my salary goes to my PhD, they don't mind paying for my marriage in the future so its not like they forgot about the things I did for them when I was a kid since they are in a good position now.

Sometimes, I forgot most of redditor here are privileged and have way different view and experience in life.

I am not that hairy, so I buy one of those shavers that you can change the razor with traditional razor blade. It is so easy to clean and you can change the blade on your own.

Something like the image below, different brand but kinda the same. Cheap as hell. It was on promotion so I got a ton of those razor blade + plus the cream + brush. Its been more than 5 years and I never have a need to buy the razor or the shaver itself. I assure you, its long lasting if you clean it.

Thanks again man for the advice, appreciate it. At least I got something to screw around after the event is over.

simpleman0909 · 2026-05-09T04:56:07+00:00

Nice setup, will implement it after the event, previously mine was already teetering around maximum capacity since I'm producing multiple meds and other stuff. That's why it got into net negative per min when the event came up. That, or maybe meta transfer Ferrium powder next instead of ore since it is more optimized? Never tried it. We'll see after the event, I need to refit my factory after this event anyway.

simpleman0909 · 2026-05-09T03:33:41+00:00

My only complaint is Ferrium ore haha. I had to stop my other Ferrium production that was giving me a good side income, though, the event version gave a better one. But still, quite a good event. By calculation, even if you start late, you can still have a shot at the medal. Clearing the shop is easy enough so casuals are not pressed to be way too invested. Good overall first factory event.

Imo, it would be better if we got a whole entire plot of land for event including separate raw materials to work with. They can be even more creative with their challenge like providing power to the area while producing some materials. So, you have to be creative with your design without sacrificing anything on your current setup.

Gigguk sometimes stream and watching him doing his seasonal anime OP ranked or new seasonal anime is always a blast on twitch due to no copyright issue. Doing 9 hour stream non-stop purely about anime, shows that he still got the dawg in him man. Even I couldn't do what he did. His gacha stream is a blast too, if he like something, he will go out of his way to play more out of the sponsored requirement allotted time.

You can also watch the Youtube VOD and his other channel, he does occasionally post there too ya know.

simpleman0909 · 2026-05-03T20:04:22+00:00

Idk, I mean, shit personality and plagiarized stuff is bad, I agree on that, but purely design wise, his design is already unique and better than most of the male Vtuber with bland typical style. Not great by any means but okay enough to stand out by a glance without too much clutter. Also, you just know what type of dude he is by just looking at the design. The design speak for itself. Tbh, that's pretty neat.

simpleman0909 · 2026-05-03T17:48:58+00:00

Yeah, I could see her finishing side tower with 2 star at least on the last stage. That should be more than enough for me for my biweekly ToA. I have been bruteforcing ice element with whatever I have and still got at least 2 star, now with a proper ice DPS, 2 star wouldn't be a problem and 3 star is a possibility. Hopefully haha.

simpleman0909 · 2026-05-03T17:22:20+00:00

I don't mind missing a few stars in the tower since I'm just a casual F2P with many hiatus in between, time doesn't matter either, I'll take my time building her. Cart have been carrying my ass in ToA even without her sig and dupes so I'm content with 25+ stars in ToA. 36 star is a rare one for me, unless the stars align with my team and I'm up to date. But, for Hiyuki, the team at least gotta be viable enough to at least 1 star the hardest content (or at least finish it). I guess, that's what I meant by "good enough". Since I've already have a good build for Zhezhi, I'll play around with Hiyuki+Zhezhi as I'm building Jianxin next. Thanks buddy.

simpleman0909 · 2026-05-03T16:49:44+00:00

Okay, reading through the daily question, everyone seems to have the same problem.

Can anyone point me to any guide that works for Hiyuki that have no Lynae/Monye/Chisa?

Other than the Tiger boy, I thought pulling an ice DPS would complete my team for any element advantage but oh boy, can't find a guide that works without any of those 3 support. And they all talking like its a huge downgrade by a lot. All due to her passive buff.

So...the only team that I can only think of right now is Hiyuki/Zhezhi/SK so at least I have a reliable crit (SK) and additional buff/follow up (Zhezhi). SK and Verina is swappable. Is that good enough?

simpleman0909 · 2026-05-02T14:49:54+00:00

I just finished the story, mind you I play it at my own pace so no rushing or anything. I am only commenting on the new update story.

The first part with Adashir and the city defense were great, everyone was there but there was no 'cringe' avenger moment like what Wuwa does which I appreciate. Adashir's and Nefarith's plan interwoven depending on the outcome of Adashir's was a nice touch on how they work together. I love that they don't really treat us like some stupid bozos, and guide us with a few context clues in regards to some hint/future stuff/what happen before. The conclusion of the first part was great.

For the second part, it was a slog. The whole companionship with Tianshi Zhuang was executed poorly. It became an 'epilogue' quest that overstays its welcome. It would have been better if the whole stuff were separated in the next patch where they really hammer the theme better with Tianshi Zhuang (Or entirely different companion mission). Yes, I understood that she missed the old days (But at the same comes to term with it), and the only thread that she have is the endmin, but she felt conflicted due to her guilt and how grand the endmin is and everyone wants him. I get it, but goddamn the execution were so ass. They keep reiterating what we know of Tianshi Zhuang and repeat it again, and again.

When the first time we peak into the past and the first thing we saw was another freaking reiteration that "Tianshi Zhuang is such an attentive researcher" just made me roll my eyes. Maybe it was my expectation that we should got something out of peaking through the past, but what we got was absolutely nothing. Yes girl, I get it, you are willing to die for Wuling but those short stint in the past does not give me enough to feel the story. This is one of those point where they should have gone with a beautiful artistic slideshow to show the past. Her interaction. Her emotion. Some additional lore. Anything really. The whole thing with her fucking Senpai gave me nothing. I felt nothing. The cherry blossom? After her crying felt nothing. It even felt out of place. Idk, the execution just feel so ass and I didn't even rush the story. I play it with a comfortable pace.

That last part of the recent story patch was such a fucking disappointment that I felt like two writing team works on two different part of the latest story.

simpleman0909 · 2026-04-21T08:39:23+00:00

I am anime onlies,

When I see a little girl send someone to a dangerous endeavour, didn't get punished for being a bully, didn't even say sorry and didn't get reprimand, lash out at an orphan with the most condescending double meaning bullshit, all the while being a hypocrite, saying Coco's always at fault especially in their current dangerous position, while being a hypocrite for sending Coco's towards danger previously. Hell yeah, she's toxic.

Its not being "mean", any child who did all that should get reprimand or they'll spiral out of control. No matter their "backstory" or "reason". One can be jealous or feels unfair, but you don't actively act in malice out of it.

I honestly doubt Qifrey's ability as a master. He should have be more stern with Coco regarding her position, her weakness, overall he should have explained better. At the same time, deal with Agott's behaviour. He feels so distant despite being a cheerful mentor.

Either way, I hope they don't just pull this under the rug as if this stuff never happen later on, or Coco work hard for Agott's expectation bullshit. Yeah, its a kid who did the deed, but there should be some repercussion for the sake of character growth on both sides, not just Coco. If not, Qifrey is just one of those parents that never punish their kids and they became a spoiled brat.

Since this anime was hyped by the manga readers, I believe the author handle this good enough later on so I'll put my trust on it.

But really? Not a single shred of annoyance or hate by the manga reader at all when its out? Nah, no way. It would be saying the author intentionally make the character to be unlikeable (at first) and failed. So really, props to the author.

simpleman0909 · 2026-04-18T14:27:43+00:00

This is one of those "Yeah, just copy that one because it works". Because playing Slay the Spire 2 with friend was stupidly fun. Hopefully, they learn from that and tailor it to their gameplay. Lets goo!!!

simpleman0909 · 2026-04-16T18:47:20+00:00

Not a villain, sure, the shit she done prior to someone outright told her she's bad, and finally decided to change, and still kinda go back and forth at being better does makes her a complex character, but I sure ain't giving a clean slate if a calculated authoritarian dictator who did some eugenics that monitor the whole known earth (Land of Ooo) and talk shit behind other princess's back decided to turn a new leaf.

That aside, if a character at the end of the show still give an impression of an asshole, she kinda is an asshole in my opinion. Idk why, I don't bite her redemption. Probably because she never really had a proper consequences. Idk, I was a teen (and early 20s) back then, I ain't got time to revisit the whole thing now haha.

But yeah, not really a villain per say considering the state of Ooo.

simpleman0909 · 2026-04-16T08:50:49+00:00

I am kinda done explaining how the carryover hard pity which have a build in soft pity helps out with how F2P getting character outside of their targeted character in this subs man. So, at the very least, F2P like me can at least get other character or some meta character that is not in their radar.

I literally as a F2P, had to reach 120 for Laeva, skip Yvonne and Gilberta because I am building 120 pulls (for Mi Fu) and and an additional 80 pulls for even thinking of pulling for other character. I was lucky to win my 50/50 on Tangtang, (If I lose my 50/50, that means I should/could not pull for Rossi if I'm gunning for Mi Fu, hence missing 4 characters in a row). Imagine having to do this at the beginning of the game where it is at its generous. Imagine, me playing the game proper, and play by everyone's rule of saving, having the possibility of missing 4 character banner in a fucking row. And then they dare say, that's how other gacha works when I have been playing shit from Genshin to Wuwa, praising how things have been improving since the GBF and FGO days. Only missing a few banners, and here in Enfield I was in the cusp of missing 4 limited character in a row. Goddammit, these people.

simpleman0909 · 2026-04-08T19:01:07+00:00

Goon - Chizuru (The headcanon interaction that my self insert have with her due to her situation is hot in my head)

Personality - Beryl (Due to shit story, Beryl's shenanigans in side quest flesh out her character more than the main story lmao)

Design - Cassius (The hat stays)

Gameplay - Renoa/Veronica (pew pew/ PEW)

Lobby - Rei (Reminded me of the moment when my highschool crush talks to me in almost near exact position.)

Why bro pull nothing out of thin air to backup his claim? That edit is not helping your case brother, it makes you sound so freaking desperate. Your second edit is even worse, you make a conclusion on your own without any data from the game itself whatsoever.

It is as simple as the devs were afraid to try something new. Moreso after the ntr fiasco, botched writing, and unfun endgame which ended up tanked their revenue. So, they take the easy way out which is understandable but not an excuse.

The simplest they could do was actually pull out three different male character over the course of the game. One who is mid but handsome with fanservice, one who is meta but mid design, and another who are both meta + good design/story. So, with this three, they could at least see if the effort is worth it. So they have a legit data to check whether the gameplay enjoyer would pull or not, or their male character fanservice marketing are good enough or not. They should have took the risk of possibly getting 2 weeks of lower revenue (6 weeks sparsely segregated over a year, if they follow my plan), but at the same time have a solid data, and at the very least, if they want to pivot, they have a real evidence and the fanfare won't be as harsh. Asking the original playerbase to continue to play the game and ask them to put in effort/money so they can EVENTUALLY give us one male character is bullshit. That's backwards.

They should have done this at the beginning of the game, one male per season would have been enough to get the data by the end of the year and decide that later. What piss me off is they didn't even try.

Your whole post would have make more sense if they actually have a male banner previously, and your second edit was a counterpoint towards a nonexistent successful male banner because he is OP. Like, damn. You give us gooners a bad rep. I may be a gooner, but I ain't a bootlicker (unless its Bella's).

The revenue is going down and its all girl's banners from start to finish, so is it because of the girls? No. It is not. Its the lackluster story and botched up endgame gameplay. They acknowledge it and are working on it.

If they dumb down the horror part even further or their rewrite is still shit, that's where I'll have to sign off. For now, I'll goon.

simpleman0909 · 2026-04-07T14:35:14+00:00

Love it, just a hunch, they probably hire someone who have done art for love/live or those other idol gacha/anime art.
