#and it's a GACHA GAME

[neona]

feel like I'm having a sort of delayed reaction to Satisfactory and Factorio doing really well with their updates since my perspective has mostly been that well duh they're gonna do well they're really good games

but now it's hitting me that they're becoming prominent enough to possibly have some cultural effect on the games industry

will be interesting to see if we see more automationy stuff seep into other genres, it's already happening a tiny bit

heck it'd be funny if we live to see a mainstream AAA automation game - probably not that likely, but I'm sure we can expect to see it in one as a side system, assuming we haven't already

it feels like a little automation is a straightforward addition to the basic base building you'll see bolted onto random games sometimes (and extremely basic automation is already a common element in these systems anyway)

I FINALLY FINISHED THE DANG NEUVILUMI FIIICCC RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

i was waiting to post abt it here so that i could get a few more chapters out (since it's a mystery fic and those are always more intriguing when u have more information), but let's GOOO. [link if u want it, check tags before u read guys]

meanwhile Genshin keeps dropping events that make my head spin w/ h/c's (LANTERN RITE?????????????) and to add on to it i'm now thinking abt Lumi with wings,,,, my brain does not function well guys u'd think i'd be better at this lmfao.

on top of that, the amt of writing i've been doing is ungodly??? i went and checked w/ some friends to see what my current word count is for all the fic pieces i've written for these idiots and it's like???? almost 600k??????? i'd have to do another count up but god my writing is in so many different places it's not even funny. HALF OF IT ISN'T EVEN GOOD-- I'm ONLY POSTING THE STUFF I DEEM GOOD. and i keep writing. i've got like six other fics i'm thinking abt at any given time. what am i gonna do when i go to write Clockwork Waltz??? i'm still figuring out what i add to the SNAPSHOTS--

aside from writing, Genshin itself is feeding me w/ the quests n shit. i lost my mind over Natlan Archon quests and everything (won't spoil anything in this post dw, but def considering a mini fic or two in response to some things)

i've also been debating if i start finishing fanart to post here? b/c i've noticed a lack of fanart for a very specific ship that i'm thinking of and it's killing me b/c i need more of it. anyway, i'm done rambling abt shit, i'm gonna go back to writing lmfao

its kinda crazy how there are so few gacha games with black characters bc the amount of shit you could do with the hair??? you could have alt hairstyles for days like why has no one capitalized on that yet

I don't play gacha games, but I'm in online spaces which are adjacent to gacha fandoms, so every so often I'll pop open my notifications and see a thread where the comments are like "ooh, step on me, daddy", and the post to which those comments pertain is a drawing of a waifish anime boy being manhandled by a second waifish anime boy.

currently playing infinity nikki for the first time (as well as my first time playing any gacha game) and i am. so perplexed by this girl.

she is nonconsensually ripped from her home and sucked into some other universe. the annoying rat is taken with her and they end up in some dark souls esque world. she now has the powers of levitation (?!) and shooting objects from her hand (?!) that can only harm bad guys and completely miss everything else in the environment. are these powers conscious of who it can hit or does nikki just have really good aim? after she meets some lady who has been chained to the ceiling for who knows how many years, a "heart" of some sort is forced into nikki's chest which gives her weird pains (no shit) from time to time when she witnesses emotional or "whimsical" displays.

anyway, im traversing this new land, in shock that this poor girl opened a simple wardrobe and is now in what appears to be some alternate universe where clothes have magic powers. if that were me, i'd be freaking out and wondering where the hell i am, what planet im on, and if im dreaming

nikki, though?

nikki is having the time of her life

i mean, shes casually introducing herself to dada and giovanni like shes just some girl from the next town over; no! youre not supposed to be here!! youre essentially an alien and youre fooling everybody!!

this girl is catwalking miraland like stuff like this happens to her ALL. THE. TIME.

which, if it does...

is nikki ok??? should she be put down???
