#291 ON GAZAVETTERS

Hello, my name is Ahmed Qandeel from North Gaza, I have ambitions, dreams and a love for life like any young person in the world. I support my family of 15 after my father was martyred in the cursed war that destroyed everything, but it seems that I will not be able to achieve my dream due to the brutal war on the Gaza Strip that completely destroyed our home, and despite the cruelty of the war, we did not leave North Gaza under inhumane conditions. We have suffered from illness, cold, hunger and drinking polluted water for more than 11 months, and we have suffered greatly from the loss of friends and relatives who were killed in the war for 330 days.

I appeal to you, the international community, to help. I have started a GoFundMe campaign with the goal of raising $20,000 to enable me and my family to find safety in Egypt. Evacuation fees change from time to time; we currently expect a cost of between $4,000 and $5,000 per person. Any additional funds raised will go to support my immediate needs and those of my family. There are many obstacles that we will face on the other side, and I hope that we can make things a little easier for us. I would like to share with you the situation now that the war has intensified. We are fine and safe, but life has become very difficult around us now, people are suffering more and losing their loved ones every day. As a family, we have literally lost everything we own, our homes. Hello! I am reaching out because my family and I are in a really difficult situation, and any contribution you can make to get us evacuated from Gaza means a lot to us - every donation brings us closer to safety and a new beginning. If you can click the link below to help or share it with others who might want to support us, it will make a huge difference in our lives. Thank you for your compassion during this difficult time! We have lost the most precious thing we have, my father, but we are trying to stay optimistic thinking about the evacuation and today we heard good news that the borders might open soon and we are praying that this is true. Once we are evacuated we will try hard to rebuild a small part of what we lost in Gaza. If we can achieve our ultimate goal,

we will have the money to start a business to support our entire family. We want to be able to start over and not suffer anymore in Egypt. If everyone can help us with a small donation to achieve our ultimate goal, we will be able to rebuild our lives after everything was destroyed. All the positive words cannot express how generous you are in sharing my posts to inform other donors about the people of Gaza who are still suffering from the terrible conditions caused by the unjust war on Gaza. Please continue to support the just cause in the world either by donating directly or by sharing the link to other media. Do not hesitate to help people in their difficult and miserable times until the dark days are over.

✨ Oracle of Stars is Back — and It’s Still the Worst Event in the Game

Hey lovelies. Buckle up, because the infamous Oracle of Stars event is making a return, and I cannot stress this enough: THIS IS A TRAP. Whether you’re a veteran who remembers the pain from last year or a new player tempted by the pretty art and soft ASMR, read this before you spend a single diamond.

🧨 What is Oracle of Stars?

Oracle of Stars is a gacha wheel event that first dropped in Feb 2024. It was instantly hated by much of the player base due to:

Absurd costs

No pity system

Terrible drop rates

A frustrating and predatory design that punishes unlucky players It’s back and unfortunately, nothing has improved.

🎡 How the Wheel Works

No more free spins: In the original release month, we got 1 free spin every 48 hours. That’s gone now. Zero free attempts. You pay for every single spin.

Each spin costs 100 diamonds, or 1,000 for a 10-spin.

What you can get: - A random 4★ Memory (with very low odds) - An accessory (cosmetic, very niche appeal) - Oracle Dice (used for shop redemptions)

Mechanics: - If you land on a Memory you don’t own, you get the full card. - Land on it again? You get shards to rank it up. - If you land on an accessory, it disappears and turns into a dice space for future spins.

💎 Redemption System and Costs

Didn’t get lucky? You’ll need to redeem with Oracle Dice. Here’s how that works:

Each 4★ memory in the shop costs 880 Oracle Dice.

At worst, that’s 17,600 diamonds if you had to spin until you reach that amount.

Even if you count the milestone rewards (which give you a few free dice here and there), you’re still looking at around 15,000+ diamonds to get just ONE 4★ memory.

Let’s say that again: 15,000–17,600 diamonds for a single 4★ with no pity or guarantee.

Accessories can also be redeemed with dice, but they show up in milestones too (up to the 150th spin), so if you really want them... still not worth it, honestly.

⚠️ DROP RATES: They’re Worse Than You Think

This is the real kicker. The drop rates are appalling:

4★ Memory: 0.33%

Accessory: 1%

Oracle Dice ×100: 4%

Oracle Dice ×50: 12%

Oracle Dice ×20: 15%

Oracle Dice ×10: 50%

Oracle Dice ×5: 15%

That means:

You have a 1 in 300 chance to get a 4★ Memory per spin.

Most of your spins will give you only 5–10 Oracle Dice, which isn’t even 1% of what you need to redeem the memory.

Accessories (at 1%) are also stupidly rare, and once you get one, it’s gone from the wheel and replaced with dice, reducing your chances even more.

🧠 Why Older Players Hate This Banner

Take it from someone who was there during the first Oracle of Stars:

You feel punished for bad luck. There is no mercy mechanic. No pity. No safety net.

No free spins make this inaccessible to F2P players entirely.

You can’t select the character or memory you want. It’s all RNG-based.

It’s deceptive. Beautiful card art and nice voice lines lure players in, but once you start spinning, it’s a massive diamond sink for nearly nothing.

We were begging for pity or better odds last time. The devs didn’t change a thing.

🗣️ Community Sentiment: It’s BAD

Quotes from across the fandom:

“No pity, no guarantee, no free attempts, can’t select a character… all for a random 4★. It’s a scam.”

“Don’t do it girlies. Stay strong. Save your dias for real banners.”

“As someone who got burned by this last year: DO. NOT. PULL.”

“Just read the story on YouTube. Don’t support this predatory design.”

And honestly? They’re right.

💡 What Should You Do Instead?

SAVE your diamonds. There are far better uses coming:

Myth reruns

New Myth releases

Upcoming Wedding Multi

Zayne: Master of Fate banner (coming soon and confirmed)

These banners have pity, guaranteed pulls, and a selection of characters. Oracle of Stars has none of that.

But is it worth gambling that much for a random 4★? Absolutely not.

Friendly reminder: This event is a SCAM. Please do NOT waste your hard-earned diamonds.

Save yourself the pain. Read the story online on YouTube. Wait for banners that respect your time and effort.

We’ve been here before. Don’t let history repeat itself. Stay strong, Hunters. 💔

DEVIL MAY CRY CHARACTER DESIGN COMMENTARY: DANTE 1

This is my opinion on Dante's design from the first Devil May Cry game. I will probably do other characters as well.

The Devil May Cry franchise has it's roots in Resident Evil. Dante has many similarities with Leon, one of the main characters, specially in Resident Evil 4.

Since it is the first game of the franchise, it's visual identity was not consolidated yet. A mix of genres is what makes the first Devil May Cry so unique.

With that being said, I like his design. It is a product of early 2000's dark and "vengeful" aesthetic. Despite living in a dark world, his crimson coat, white hair and piercing eyes, Dante makes quite a bold figure.

There are different kinds of fabric, and many details such as belts and buttons across his attire.

There was no way of knowing where the franchise would go in the future, or if there would even be future games. The entire creative team did what they could with the resources they had, and delivered an iconic experience.

Combining readability amidst the fights, a design that fits his story and good graphics for its time, DMC 1 Dante conquers an 9/10 in my design ranking!

SPOILERS FOR XAVIER'S "MOUNTAIN FOOTSTEPS" EPISODE BELOW. PROCEED CAREFULLY:

I haven't seen many players talking about it but Xavier's Mountain Footsteps??

He is such a cootie patootie there and the way he says "I tought you would think I am too boring for you."

It's amazing how he can do so many amazing things and still be insecure, especially on his relationships. That is a recurring theme with the character.

Rating: 10/10 I just want him to be happy
