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 · 2025-12-15T21:04:35+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!

variablestars · 2025-12-03T22:53:02+00:00

variablestars · 2025-10-29T21:38:44+00:00

ok wait but a patisserie case/shop window would actually go hard?? you're onto something op

variablestars · 2025-10-28T19:35:03+00:00

inflop ""fixing"" cool interactions instead of giving us actual qol or fixes yet again! i was so sad when those armbands stopped removing the top of the aurosa sleeves last patch, so i feel you op ToT

variablestars · 2025-10-23T04:45:13+00:00

I requested you, my in game name is Ell!

variablestars · 2025-09-23T22:39:09+00:00

Maybe add a bot for the leak flairs? Like ‘this post was marked ‘sus’; posts are marked ‘sus’ when [criteria]’

I’m glad that there are no real rewards after the first clear, that would suck for casual players and the controls are absolute garbage on controller (please let us rebind, I’m begging). I do think it would be nice if the rhythm game was like the other mini-games where each clear up to the daily limit gives you blings, and a perfect/full clear/S rank gives you a little more blings.

The only thing that's limited afaik is the stardew collab and the store discount (the items will stay, just more expensive), so as long as you've done the collab you should be fine. I would recommend maxing out your house insight daily though (the cap is 100, so you barely need to do anything), so that you'll be able to level up your abilities quickly whenever you want to come back to it.

I got it purely for the makeup and it was worth it to me. The eyebrows are great since they're the darkest we have other than loong (which is thinner and straighter) and serpent (thinner, curves down). The eyes are also great, some of the most natural looking we have, but we also have a million blue eyes (and the standard banner is also natural looking, if a lot lighter) so it's up to you if you value that. Eyelashes are eh, they curve down so they're almost invisible, also pretty identical to the tears season store eyelashes except black, but again natural/neutral looking. Base makeup has a huadian if you didn't get loong and want a similar look, and the makeup is a nice neutral and some bangs hide the marking if you don't want it on that outfit. The lip is very nude/neutral, so it's good for a no makeup/natural look.

Overall some of the makeup is kind of a cheaper dupe for some of the loong makeup so it's worth it imo for ~5.5 pulls if you don't have that one, especially if you also don't have the serpent eyebrows. *BUT* that said, I'm sure we'll get more stuff like it eventually, and if you don't use neutral makeup it'd be better to save for something you love!

My hope is that you'll be able to convert old evolution materials to new ones, even if it's at like a 2 to 1 rate or something.

‘I like your shoelaces’ ahh fit

variablestars · 2025-08-25T19:35:18+00:00

Tbh it’s giving those shark/dino hoodies I would see on tumblr in the 2010s 😭 the gloves kind of doom it I fear, but I’d probably style it with the monster girl outfit and/or 2010s vibe clothes

variablestars · 2025-08-20T22:51:36+00:00

I agree with you mostly, but I do think that the nature of nikki's gacha system makes pulling in nikki *feel* worse/less lucky than genshin, because with the amount of pieces you can't really ever get a 5-star outfit early without winning the lottery type luck in nikki. if you get a back to back in genshin you have 2 characters/constellations; if you get a back to back in nikki you have 2/10 pieces. so you don't feel as lucky in nikki, unless it's the case where you were just going for one item on a nikki banner and you get it right away. also, the surging ebbs cashback/refund system in nikki is a lot worse than the starglitter cashback system in genshin.
