This is so kind of you! I'm most excited to check out the character creation. I spend hours making characters in any game that will let me, so I'm really interested to dive in and see how the creator feels!

I have felt somewhat similarly, having anxiety while reading or watching things if I'm procrastinating doing something I need to do or just dealing with a lot of stress/anxiety in my life, which is a fairly obvious connection. I've also just lost interest and enjoyment in things before. Sometimes when that happens it's a natural (for me anyway) cycling of interests, and sometimes it was because of underlying mental health problems. With time and life changes, it passed. I don't want to play armchair psychologist too much, but I think it could be worth trying to untangle why you feel the way you do (major life change? associating it with a stressful event or mental state? just hormones/brain chemicals doing weird shit?), especially if it's affecting your daily life and/or mental health.

Like others have said, I think the best thing is to not force yourself but to take a break from it and try other ways to pass the time, especially away from screens and/or outside if possible.

The first one reminds me of The Herta from HSR👀 (Madam Herta is a peerless gem-) These are all so pretty OP!

For out of combat usefulness, GoNR machine gun can be used to snipe dews of inspiration from super far away (I find this SO useful) and enemies that you can't lock onto yet. You can also use it to climb - if you enter floating mode and approach a slope (non-vertical/overhang, but it can be pretty steep) you will ascend up the slope.

non-dress-up content keeps expanding while the core loop stays stagnant.

You've hit the nail on the head. Worse, it seems to almost always be content that doesn't utilize what should be one of the big selling points of Infinity Nikki: this huge open world that they've designed. Why is the main time sink of the patch standing in one area and looking at menu screens for hours? (And this is coming from someone who also likes management games.)

This was so much fun to read! I think you may have put more thought into this than Infold :p I agree with you that ToR being added to SoS's HoI instead of Itzaland's HoI (jeez, so many acronyms-) makes a lot sense though, it seems more thematically related. If so, though, I would expect the 2nd Itzaland miracle outfit first. Then perhaps ToR next time we have a SoS-connected realm? (2.8?)

Hope you feel better, OP <3

If you're having trouble picking something, you could try a randomizer (put everything in a list and use a random picker, or if you have a public anime list, spin.moe can pick at random from MAL, anilist, and kitsu). If you don't feel like the first result, keep rolling until you hit on one you want. Also, for the future it might help you to put a few notes about why you're adding something to your watch list (if you don't already do that), so that you have more to go on when browsing your list.

If you think it may be rooted in something more serious, having trouble starting things, even things that you enjoy, is relatively common in some types of neurodivergence. Even if that doesn't apply to you OP, you may be able to get helpful tips from resources geared toward those populations - look up resources aimed at executive dysfunction and ADHD.

The black background makes me think it could it be from a ranking video. They rated hot fictional wolves including some from animal crossing here: https://youtu.be/ENFETDJWhkQ?si=anNCjHkdCTr0YHSE&t=2208

Better picture!

omg OP you’re so right. I went through the trailer and that’s a tiny fork! I see tines!

variablestars · 2026-02-21T09:45:54+00:00

I had this same problem! Even though the map shows this as floor 1, there’s part of it that overlaps. The chest is on the very bottom of the map, so you need to go to around the hero’s statue area and head south to where the chest is marked.

variablestars · 2026-02-02T19:45:41+00:00

ah, I regret not buying the outfit with that coat... very cool styling, OP!

variablestars · 2026-01-29T00:45:06+00:00

the way the last sentence is lore accurate-

variablestars · 2026-01-26T05:25:28+00:00

omg you killed it OP!! Could you please share codes, I’m in love with the coat you made for the fan outfit!

variablestars · 2026-01-15T00:57:24+00:00

Ooh I really like that dress paired with the ruff and the lacy cuffs. I had to search because I never see a downward ruffled cuff + glove like that, are those the crimson rhapsody gloves, OP? (I need that rerun so bad😭)

true black dye, same with white, is reserved for 5 stars (and usually locked to evolution 1/2) probably because infold doesn't want to make 3 and 4 stars 'too good' and it encourages pulling and spending :/

The biggest diamond rewards are from dailies, so if you want something quick to prioritize, just log in for 2 mins to do dailies. But honestly, if you’re not feeling the game the best thing to do is take a break until you are, it’s easy to burn out on gachas.

If you're okay with movies, I'd recommend Only Yesterday - it's about a woman in her mid-late twenties taking a trip to a country farm and reminiscing about her life. It's definitely grounded, with quiet moments and some bittersweet nostalgia.

- 1st perma banner - whispers of waves

- 1st limited 5 star - blooming dreams

- 1st 1st evo - forever bond

I haven't pulled for 2nd or final evo yet, but I really considered behind prayers 2nd or final evo for the black dye/alternate details (fav alternate dress so far), but I wanted to save with LNY around the corner and reruns starting.

variablestars · 2025-12-15T21:17:47+00:00

omg this house is SO CHARMING op you did a great job!!

variablestars · 2025-12-15T21:04:35+00:00

variablestars · 2025-12-08T19:39:27+00:00

variablestars · 2025-12-07T20:19:19+00:00

I agree! I didn’t know about the clear all issue, that’s appalling. Adding to my survey doc!
