I Am So Honored

even back in april the whole boops thing felt really fucking insidious to me. like whenever i saw the people on my dashboard eagerly celebrating the boops i started to feel a worse and worse pit in my stomach

having a favorite character who originally came from a gacha game sucks sooooo bad bcuz even though i look at them and im like “oooohhh you’re so precious” or “oooohhh you’re so insane i desperately need to study every bit of you like a bug”, at the same time im also horrifically aware that this is all just one carefully constructed piece of the twisted capitalistic model of gacha games. giving these overdesigned anime pngs/3d models as much fun charming personality and deep interesting backstory as possible so you and many others get deeply uncontrollably attached to them, which in turn acts as a huge drive to get you into grinding and rolling for these characters, wasting huge amounts of time and/or money all just to obtain your waifu/husbando/comfort scrunkly blorbo scrimblo of choice.

It feels so fucking evil, using the natural response of getting attached to fictional characters for such capitalistic gain. Planting the seeds for fandoms to grow all just to make them eternal customers of your product. This shit’s nearly ruined my life, even without spending money i still spent so much precious time progressing in the game yet never progressing anywhere in real life, and yet still the one character i simp for the most is from fucking genshin impact.

idk man. youtubers should stop getting sponsorships from gacha game companies. every time ginja ninja owo makes a (sponsored) video where they draw fanart for the next hit game from mihoyo a part of my soul dies

why waste 20 bucks on a ten pull when you could waste 20 bucks on an obscure indie game on steam that will permanently influence and change the perception and trajectory of your life forever

it feels kinda cursed seeing some random indie/animation meme YouTubers I've casually enjoyed watching and who I've never seen having an interest in gacha games just,,, suddenly drop these fully-finished animations promoting Zenless Zone Zero out of the blue

It feels so out of place with the rest of their stuff, it's like,,,, they've been possessed by an evil gacha game spirit,,, hhhhhhhhgggsgs,,,,

blue archive has some cute characters i will admit but seeing blue archive fans even just seeing their posts even if they aren't doing anything makes me feels like i have to keep some pepper spray near me

”fiction does not affect reality“ mfers when i tell em about the concept of the “moral of the story”, taught to many a children at the end of every “fairy tale”

i always felt like that if this mf never decided to post a single goddamn video onto his youtube channel then Pokemon Sword and Shield Dexit discourse would've been 1000% more civil

even if Mihoyo prolly paid these guys pretty well for making these animations it still feels really fucking disingenuous like. have you SEEN the discussion of Mihoyo as a company on twitter now it's gotten rly big like seriously you're supposed to be boycotting these guys to the ground rn for fucks sake

fastest record time I ever blocked an artist I followed was when they reblogged a post with the tag "I like the murderloli"

HIFUMI NYAMADA HIFUMI NYAMADA-

too woke to be a redditor, too obnoxious to be tolerable

Some months ago when the Penacony update came out i made a promise to myself that if I got Black Swan then I would draw her and Kafka kissing and uh yea. Calling em Kafswan. this was the first time I drew two people kissing lol. Happy last day of Pride Month DOT team synchronicity yuri yippee—

I haven't even played this game in months I was so burnt out that I intentionally skipped Boothill the guy I wanted most so I could break free from the gacha addiction cycle of pain lol. Also I apologize for the 3 people who follow me for not posting anything in nearly a year for some reason rip
