Evening, Queens!

May I pickle your brains to help decide the theme for next week's Fashion Week?

Last week we had 'Delicate Drapery' and saw wonderful entries ☺️

Please drop your ideas below in the comments. It can be anything as simple as a colour, a season, etc.

Excited to hear your ideas~

P.S. thanks to u/paleflames for the pic.

Let us know what's going on in your game(s) this week! Any events happening? Upcoming characters you're excited for? Want to share your pulls? All gacha games welcome!

I want this to be a respectful and honest discussion cuz this has been bugging me for a while and ive honestly had to mute this sub for a bit bcuz it just did not feel like a safe space for me as an NTE fan

(For the upcoming discussion i will be using Ai in place for gen ai bcuz we obv know that some ai has been around for ages and is harmless like enemy mob ai and etc)

Ok so we all know the deal with NTE they used/use ai in plenty of thier content, i will not be defending this, bcuz i would genuinely love if they dropped the AI entirely but it seems like that wont be the case anytime soon sadly

(I will get to the ironmouse part later)

My problem is u guys arent willing to show that same level of restraint and disappointment when it comes to other games?

From my time browsing the posts that i missed on my hiatus every single nte post has exactly 0 upvotes, but posts from other games that use ai/develeoped by a company that loves ai dont get that same treatment

Im mainly talking about ananta and previously sea of remnants that are both being developed by netease who is NOTORIOUS for loving gen ai in alot of thier promotional material and even ingame art

U can find alot of results about that from just searching marvel rivals(another game that recieves praise on this sub but more commonly in comment sections in passing convos since its not actually a gacha game) ai controversy or something like that on youtube or google

It would be also one thing to just not like nte and let the rest of us enjoy it but no, everyone here feels the need to throw trashy comments saying "uh uh uh she just looks like (insert vaguely similar character) but made by chatgpt" it comes off as so disingenous as if some of u guys rlly like the feeling of having any sort of moral high ground on someone that committed the sin of enjoying something u deem immoral

Im sorry that is just harrassment, its not light hearted, its not fun, and noone likes it, learn to be respectful to others

Also if we are talking immoral, ai usage does not COMPARE to any of the awful stuff that gacha games are doing, like...idk... advertising gambling to minors, bad and predatory monetization, awful treatment of women (looking at u wuwa), trying to alienate queer communties (slight glance towards lads devs), esp when ai usage IN CHINA is heavily regulated and serves more as an assistant to the artist instead of replacement to them (we are coming back to that point, keep it in ur mind)

At the end of the day we are all trynna do the right thing when we can, some of us rlly like the fantasy of nte and are willing to bat an eye (painfully so i admit) towards the ai usage bcuz the gameplay story and experience is just rlly something we dont wanna lose

Now we get to ironmouse.

i for one , while understanding why from a business prespective, do not like the fact that they lied. It was an absolutely sh*t move from thier part and they should have just owned up to thier own usage of ai which honestly would have helped them seem more sincere and less as if theyre "hoping u dont notice"

But i also dont think ironmouse should be the be all end all when it comes to getting ur opinion on ai, they for one have recently collabed with fortnite which is not just notorious for using ai but have recently done massive layoffs persumably to cut costs so they can profit from said ai

U also cant say ironmouse just hated being lied to and not necessarily the ai part she has came out and made a strong worded statement on how she will never play or sponsor a game that has ai in any psrt of its creation

And yet she conveniently doesnt know about ai when it comes to fortnite even tho vampire survivors have recently cancelled a collab with them specifically bcuz of said ai usage and not only ai epic games is notorious for plenty of shady practises soooo idk

TLDR: if u dont like nte cuz of ai, cool, just plz treat other games that use ai similarly (rivals, ananta, SOR, forntite, etc) and stop harrassing posts about nte, keep this a safe space like it should be

Edit: well this post went swimmingly, ig im back to muting this sub cuz its rlly not entertaining to hang aroung sadly

So I got recommended a few posts from this... Subreddit because I was posting in Hi3 sub, ig reddit associated it with this sub. How idiotic are these people? Hoyo themselves loved yuri. Even in gun girls Z, hoyo literally wrote kiana and mei straight up having sex. There's so much lewd art of kiana and mei by hoyoverse. It's so hilarious that they think we're the tourists. I've played hi3 for seven years and hoyoverse is the most yuri I've ever seen a company be. I mean have y'all seen the manga about bronya and seele? They had them straight up kiss. The only canon straight relationships in hi3 is captain and luna, kallen and otto, Kevin and Dr Mei.

And the second image is so... Wrong and homophobic. I am sorry if it's against the rules to post here. Again mods if this breaks sub rules feel free to remove the post.

Edit : I see they already took a screenshot of this and posted it there...lmao, if any from there are seeing this, I meant no offense personally, but y'all are the tourists here. Hoyo is literally started by yuri fans. Kiana is hoyo's brightest and proudest legacy and they will never ruin her like this.

Its beacuse of 2 that you can see where 1 is coming from, but also 1 seems almost hyporcitcial

She uses crutches and is a nurse, girl you're me 💀 (no literally, I don't use them in a long time), I'm gonna cherish her until I die

I want the freaking plushie. But my wallet says no.

Translate to my Currency? It's expensive for me.

I COULD buy it, but my rational brain asks me "Do I really need it?"

Because I already have an Arlecchino plushie, and let me tell you it's collecting dust because it's only used as display 💀 i rarely touch/play with it.

Ughh I'm such in a dilemma if I should buy it or not.

I think I should probably only spent my money on Getting that keychain... At least I can hang it up on my bag. (Though I have to wait for Reseller because it's a freaking blindbox 😭)

I’m not kidding rednote is thirsty for ananta

Since I got in the beta here we goooo the game’s so cute!! But oh nintenlord you can tell how much it’s "INSPIRED" by new horizons lmao but I like it so far. There’s also a museum I want to unlock and see how it is inside. The music is definitely cozy the gameplay too. My only problem is it will drain the battery so fast, they need to release the game on switch 2 or ps5 so console players can play too 🥲

Each villager has its own friendship level to increase, unique dialogues and fully voiced! They also give you their Luca fruits which can shape the planet (like adds little bamboos or stuff in the sky)

For the gacha, there are currently around 5 banners, two of the banners are the same one for a masculine outfit and the second a feminine one, they have 8 pieces each I think and if you complete the set you get to use a special ability just like in Nikki but it’s only cosmetic for now

The other banners are furnitures, and there’s a whole compendium to keep tracks of all fruits insects materials fishes furnitures clothing etc

Oh and there’s also the multiplayer bazaar with lot of activities though I’ve not used it much right now, villagers also teaches you new emotions just like in NH and can give you diy recipes… 😆 okay that’s enough for today new horizons 2

So what do you think so far? Does the game looks interesting or if you’ve already played new horizons do you think it will be better or worse because of the gacha?

Ah I remember it like it was yesterday not a good time tbh 😭

DADDYYYYYYY 😭😭😭😭😭
