as someone who worked at a charity shop for two years
it do be like that
#tmagp#albeit more lootbox flavoured#since we didn't generally handle furniture#just mystery boxes that could contain broken lava lamps or used vibrators#tmagp spoilers#oh right#there was also a box of clown dolls

overwatch is honestly worse than genshin. i can say this now having been subjected to both
#the lootbox revolution it started… the characters and stories that got people hooked going nowhere ever…… the worse writing than in a gatcha#game……..

thats the thing they really dont make games like they used to. not because bad/unethical game design decisions are anything new but because modern gaming i feel is really formulaic. they find something that Works and you'll be seeing it for the next decade. like even big companies back in the 90s werent afraid to try new things or innovate, when now they're scared of entire genres. racing games are pretty much just forza, gran turismo, and whatever indie games you can find like aero GPX. and forget weirder stuff like racing lagoon (a genuinely good racer that mixes rpg elements and a heavy story very intuitively).
what im saying is a lot of classic (or hidden gem) games were products of their time, and i really do think we lost something. even with indie devs the same trends happen. i mean every other game for the past few years is a deck builder of some description regardless if it actually serves the other mechanics or not. maybe its just nostalgia for a time i didnt live through but i really wish the gaming industry was different.
#raven.txt#even more recent games like mgr couldnt be appreciated when it came out just because of the gaming landscape at the time#like a lot of time had to pass before people realized just how good of a game it is#and even then a game like that just wouldnt be made the same way today. in graphical style or gameplay terms#idk i just wish more games were like. fun instead of just trying to suck you in with a battle pass and drain your wallet with lootboxes#so you dont miss out on This Weeks Special Cosmetic!

So I played through episode 12 yesterday and episode 13 today between my cleaning sprees and i only cried a little maybe dozen times through it all, so all I can say is that the main story continues to deliver. Wasn't very keen on the storytelling style of ep13 at first, but definitely warmed up to it along the way. Getting scenes from the wiewpoint and in the thoughts of so many characters in just one episode turned out to be pretty refreshing. I did feel a bit overwhelmed as well but i'll put that on me chewing through it all in one day. Sometimes I feel a bit worried that where is the main story going to go after a huge chunk of it comes to a conclusion, but at the same time... If the side stories have proved anything, its that there are so many things about the entire world and lore to explore. And I have to admit I'm still getting more curious about it all. if you told me 5 years ago that the story and universe in a gacha game(derogative) is going to be something i'm obsessing over, I would've been so pissed at you even suggesting that. Anyway, its a nice feeling to be so interested in something. I've lost interest in so many things and i feel like over the years its getting harder and harder for me to really get into something.
#i'm also pretty proud of myself with how well i've dealt with the whole gacha element over these 5 years with arknights#i used to struggle a lot with putting money into games for nothing#money that i didnt even have basically#i used way too much of my student loan back in the day to buy lootboxes and other similar shit#which i will continue to regret for another 15 years more before the debt is hopefully paid off#so i have purposefully avoided any games with -put in real money for random number generator results- options#and I really REALLY just dislike the whole gacha idea and model of monetization#it is your own damn fault if you put your money in and regret it later#but the model is still distasteful and also predatory to people with existing gambling problems#As much as i really enjoy arknights i also don't like to bring it up to talk about with random people because it is a gacha#and it will always first and foremost be judged by that factor

ultimately the ability to be an unrepentant hater over things is one of the great human rights and joies des vivres that i would never begrudge anyone for taking part in but it is really funny/kind of annoying when people punch down on specific gacha games that they clearly know nothing about exclusively for being gachas. especially when they have a barely concealed if not proudly open contempt for people who play them, like giving off the vibe they assume every gacha game is???? idk just an anime babe png roulette with zero substance? and anyone who plays them is like stupid or foolish or has no self control or whatever. like i know it's hard to believe but sometimes things are good in ways that pull people in and simultaneously bad in ways that are objectively predatory business practices and your criticism of them will be enriched by understanding this
#im sure ive made this post before but its okay. mwah#saw someone say like “these characters would be better if they were in a game with an actual story” about. a game with an actual story#anyway this is like whatever i'm not actually going to bat in defense of gacha games it's just funny every time i see someone act like this#imagine if someone's only criticism of overwatch was that it had lootboxes

Me: I can't believe they put Frieza (character I like) in Fortnite (game I don't like). This is truly the monkey's paw of getting content. Also me: I must see him doing all the silly little dances NOW.
#dragon ball#dragon ball z#dragon ball super#frieza#I have no intention of playing Fortnite solely for him- it's not my style of game and I don't want to lootbox gamble#But I must SEE THE EMOTES for he is my blorbo he is like a squeaky toy to me

i'm gonna need people to stop asking the tumblr aita blog about their genshin impact drama. the answer can never be anything other than "you all suck and are going to have diagnosable gambling problems in under three years, stop ruining friendships over a slot machine"
#bark bark#i've also had former friends ruin their lives and other people's over gacha#spending financial bailouts their parents sent them for rent on fucking genshin and love live and shit like that#i do not think gacha games should exist. ditto lootboxes and pull mechanics and near-miss tactics#this is why i stopped playing overwatch well before it fully tanked lmao

Ooooh, Anet. I'm so happy! I get this Warclaw skin with the Addon for FREE?! Completely free? No additional charges, not even a deluxe addon, or any expensive and long achievements? I just get it? And it has FOUR dye spots???
Thank you, Arenanet! Thank you so much! You don't know, but I criticized that mount skins are (almost, because of that one Skyscale skin) completely store exclusive and now you have given me this one! And it doesn't even look bad! In fact i prefer it to any other Warclaw skin! I'm impressed!
#GW2#This already makes this expansion better than SOTO#Just a few days ago I remarked how badly handled mount skins are for real!#How themed mount skins that should be sold as a set are just broken up between lootboxes now#Which...well you CAN buy a choosy box but the random box is less expensive and can get you MORE skins#But I can complain about this business practice all day. I want to give praise for once.#This? Just getting a complete skin with four dye spots for just playing the story? Good decision. VERY good decision! More of that please.#I would like to see this for holiday events too but I think that wont happen sadly#They already SELL the holiday skins in the store. I said they don't even look good enough to be SOLD for MONEY!#Again....I'm losing track of the praising! Complaining just comes to me more naturally.
