hiii Ven! I saw your post about the gacha game burnout and that's so real ahh. Those games aren't going anywhere though so you can always take your time getting back into it!! I'm wondering what afkj is o: Can you share more about it and what you like about that game?

hello beloved ze !! i've been thru gacha burnout before (especially with genshin LMFAOOO) and i'm trying to make my peace with getting back into it whenever i feel like it, because i know from experience that stressing too much about the burnout makes it worse PFFT

afkj is short for afk journey!! it's the second afk series game made by the company Lilith (their first was afk arena!) and its this fun mix of story, exploration and automated combat. my personal highlight of the game is how amazing and varied the character designs are, honestly. both for journey and its counterpart arena, because there is some overlap with the cast and will likely be more as both games continue to have updates! ive popped some of my favourite character designs under the cut to save this post being too long on the dash:

first and most importantly, my wife, Talene. she's phoenix-inspired and oh so gorgeous and i adore her with all my soul. (her original Arena design is the left and the Journey design is the right, so you can see the differences)

and another of my favourites is gwyneth! I'm never gonna say no to a gorgeous dragon lady LOL she's only in Arena but god i hope she's added to Journey one day

shoutout to the pretty boys dionel (left), bryon (middle) and eironn (right) who are just. mm lovely <3

and a few collage images of my other fav designs because oh my fucking god there are so many pretty characters in these games it's actually unfair

if i could i'd end up doing whole posts on all of them and why i love them but i do not have the energy for that so u will have to take my word for it NDJDKSBSKB

Arena has also done a bunch of collabs in the past, including Persona 5 & The Witcher (i think?), which is rly fun!!

But Journey, the newer game, is the one I'm most into because I prefer the overall cleaner aesthetics and battle mechanics <3
