June 2nd 2024

Let’s make this update a little fun by talking about my adventures in testing various gacha games. Recently there has been an influx of really blatant false advertising. I hate to admit that even as seasoned and experienced as I am around the block, I still get catfished by certain games thinking they’ll be something that they’re not. In a more recent embarrassing case, I tried out a game called Sword Chronicles Awaken which is the opposite of what I was expecting. Let’s just say the waifus used in the advertising were the exception to the rule. If you like big burly men hugging other bigger burlier men; this may be the game for you! Honestly if you really just want husbandos, I highly suggest you just play Tokyo Debunker instead. At least that game doesn’t have to lie to you about what it’s about and you get what is advertised on the tin.

A few weeks ago, I said I would be trying out Snowbreak: Containment Zone as a game since I never actually played it during launch. After I’ve had some time with the Steam version of it, I have to say it’s not completely my cup of tea. It on paper checks all the right boxes (gun game, waifus, easily moded), but it kind of lacks a feeling of cohesion if that makes any sense. Still, I’m happy the developers have recouped their initial losses (apparently) and is now thriving. More rambling in the audio porition.

What is 100% legitimate however is another fighting game tournament courtesy of DreamHack Dallas 2024 this weekend. By the time you’re reading this it will have already started and be on finals day. But that doesn’t mean you can’t rewatch the vods in full and still enjoy the content. Like I said before, there’s a certain degree of quality of life when you can skip pass all the filler whenever you want.

Artist is Noaqin

Artist is Noaqin

In an alternate lovely universe, there would be gacha games completely focused on big burly goblin waifus who have their way with you if you displease them or perform poorly. Unfortunately, we live on Earth where I’m catfished to play games that turn into crypto miners. I’m also reminded I should be thankful that I have a mobile phone. None the less, let us all thank Noaqin for making the fantasy at least partially true by giving us the lovely green lass you see above. I usually don’t double up on any single artist, but I need to wash the existence of Sword Chronicles Awaken out of my mind. And the doctor recommended MOAR green waifus. See you all next week!
