Mod comments:
I might be more invested and curious to see who’s going to win this poll than the actual finals.

does anyone grasp the depth of grief, persistence, and hope all at the same time from these supposedly just system notifications? please bear with me and my incoherence bcs i might actually be losing my mind????? i apologize in advance
[Story, --, has begun its storytelling once more.]
[Story, --, is continuing on with its storytelling.]
and then kindly replace those '--' with a story like "Life and Death Companions" or other stories affiliated with kdj and kimcom.
Orv has repeatedly emphasized how people are stories and how we are all just stories trying to understand each other. Seeing these 'stories' that were made from kdj and other's connection trying to continue on and starting once more evoke emotions deep inside me. Because Kdj and every member of kimcom live on through these 'stories', they embody the stories that they obtain. They're the ones who want to continue on and to begin once more. Because 'once more' implies that it has already come to an end at one time, and 'continuing on' means persevering despite of.
like resisting permanent death.
It's like no matter what catastrophe befall the world or the universe and how long these stories and connections may stay dormant, they will always awaken once someone remembers them. Once someone speaks of them. It's like how people have this irrational fear of being forgotten, and so being remembered, being told, and being shared just like a story somehow realize our existences. And we all know that these system notifications appear when the people involved in the story are wielding their shared story/experience to get through something(scenarios) or to someone(between themselves) and hope that the stories they've created are good enough to be acknowledged. Whenever the system narrates a story— one, both, or all of the parties included in the story want to be seen, recognized, and understood as we all crave to be good enough to continue being somebody in at least someone's story— in someone's life. It's like our souls despairing and rejoicing at the same time, "i'm here! i'm still here. i'm still continuing on. our story's still existing.", pleading to be read.
and so once someone recognizes our story, connected with us, and understood us— our story continues on despite of, and it begins once more even when it might have ceased at one point. It tells this new story of not being forgotten
and how our existences— our already written stories, always endure. just like theirs.
....the grief, the persistence, and the hope of it all.

i am praying we never figure out what to call juzi. the current state of affairs where literally everyone comes up with their own name is the funniest outcome by far. let it never end

Either we pissed them off or we made them proud. I do not like the idea of either of those things. This is certainly something. @harrison-armory-incorporated

I know I don’t post a lot about my gacha games on main but the gacha drama right now is so fucking funny I’m going to do a little r/hobbydrama about it
So genshin impact is one of the biggest gacha games on the market right now, mostly because it was one of the first to do an open world exploration thing in a gacha game and it didn’t have to worry about much competition. There’s a lot of critique that it has gotten over game mechanics and things like that, but it fills its niche pretty well, so that mostly stayed critique.
Then came Wuthering waves, a new game developed by a different company that was…very similar to genshin. The combat mechanics worked similarly, it was also an open world, there were even characters that looked very similar to characters in genshin. More than that though, all the things that genshin got critiqued over mechanically, Wuthering waves made a point of incorporating. Though the two companies didn’t outwardly fight (genshins company account even reposted stuff promoing Wuthering waves), the gacha fanbase saw this as a pretty direct challenge, some even referring to Wuthering waves as a genshin killer.
Well, the game dropped about a week ago and didn’t live up to expectations. From my own personal experience, the combat system was genuinely so much fucking fun and there were a lot of minor mechanical things that Wuthering waves did that I loved, but the story didn’t get me quickly enough, so it didn’t stick for me. I was one of the luckier ones though, tons of glitches showed up pretty quickly for most people. They responded by giving pretty generous rewards to make up for it, which did a lot to mitigate the issues, especially because they were trying to gain a reputation as a game that listened to their player base and fixed the issues. Besides, free pulls are free pulls.
One such example is a weapon description was mistranslated in Japanese, leading some players to think it was better than it actually was, which caused a lot of people, especially whales who dropped a lot of money on it, to get really mad. Wuthering Waves responded by giving players some pulls, but then decided to go further and tell people to fill out a form for individual compensation.
They then sent out an email to those affected (which apparently included a subtle threat to ban people’s accounts if they tried to refund money spent) but forgot to hit BCC and so EVERYONES email address got leaked. Very excited to see how this turns out
