Time goes by way too fast, and I’m not getting much done. I captured a video today, which is more of an achievement than I get most days, so might as well share it.

Here goes.

The mobile game I am playing has a character that has always been one of the cutest waifus in the game, but her skills were kind of useless, so there probably was more fanart of her than people actually putting her to use.

A screencap of the character, Moon Bunny Dominiel:

Now she finally got buffed, so she is cute AND useful.

Whenever an opponent’s character uses a skill that gives them an extra turn (lets them use one more skill right away), your Moon Bunny will remove all debuffs from your entire team.

An example of it in action:

In the video, the opponent (on the right side), started up being clever and didn’t use their character’s skill that gives an extra turn, and used a basic attack instead, so that Moon Bunny wouldn’t trigger. After that, they added a bunch of different debuffs on my characters with their abilities. But then, they forgot and still took an extra turn with a different character, and all the debuffs they were relying on were gone. So they conceded.

Gotcha!

I gotta admit, I posted this just so that my blog could finally get an update.

Next time I will surely post something that non-gamers can also appreciate. If you have an idea that I could use for a blog post, please let me know in the comments.

So far most of my blog posts have either been about me being afraid of dying or about gacha games. I’ll try my best to write one now that is about neither of them.

… I guess I already failed.

In other news, I tried a bunch of different gacha games I hadn’t tried before recently. Princess Connect Re:dive had a nice story but the gameplay mechanics were forgettable, and Epic Seven was just a straight up better version of Summoners War that I played for half a year. Still not sure what game to spend more of my time on.

So I started playing another gacha game on my phone recently. If you don’t know, gacha games are Japanese games with a super deep and fascinating loot box system. You pay tons of money to open loot boxes to get waifus, and the best waifus are rare, so you really gotta cough up the dough to get them.

And I already did. Cough up the dough, I mean. This game I’m currently playing is called Girls X Battle 2 and it’s pretty awesome. At first I thought it would be lame to pay real money for virtual waifus, but boy I was wrong and I ended up disappointing myself and my parents.

Basically the actual gameplay in Girls X Battle 2 is similar to any idle game – you just make numbers go bigger for the sake of making some more numbers go even bigger. And as these games work, at first you have solid gameplay for some hours, and then you hit a wall. And your credit card will help you breach the wall and keep playing.

There are three currencies needed to make your 12-year-old anime girls’ numbers go bigger – let’s call them “Cash”, “Booze” and “Drugs”. There’s also a premium currency, let’s call it “Diamonds”. So I just used some “Euros” to buy 30 million “Cash”, 30 million “Booze”, and I’m getting the “Drugs” by buying them in-game for “Cash” and “Diamonds”. So now my waifus have infinite power, and I still have around 15 million cash left.

Nice.

 

Anyway, I’m not sure how long I’m going to play it, but it is pretty solid fun. It has a lot of social features, and I like that the girls are voiced by actual famous voice actresses. For example the character on this picture is voiced by Chiwa Saito, who also voiced Senjougahara from Bakemonogatari.
