Oh hey, nice username!

I admit when this came across my feed I thought it was annoying and also illegal spam, then I read further and saw it’s just a TV show and a valid community ad lol

There were some more genre communities I followed but they are not near active enough for me to feel ok posting here

No, I don’t think so. On one hand I’d love to see this, r/gamingsuggestions is one of the few things I still look at Reddit for, on another I’m not sure how much activity it would see right now.

Hey thanks for the information! I didn’t even realize that was going to be the assumption, even though you are absolutely right about games with that kind of icon often having characters designed and animated with horny straight men in mind (even if non-horny straight men and people of other demographics enjoy it too).

Part of why some women like the game is because we have nice hair and clothing physics (first game I have played where I can put waist-long hair on a 3D character without it clipping into their back!) but no boob jiggles or clothing flying up to reveal underwear or the like. In my opinion the most sexualized thing at all is the fact that there is a clothing style called “sexy.” Even these clothes feel very designed for the eyes of women, and very not designed for titillation purposes.

mm quality of life Quick Challenge features…

I’m waiting for the Steam release. Maybe I can play on my Mac. Hoping they add Linux support for more than just Steam Deck someday! I’d like a taste of the super high def graphics everyone else has, as a mobile player I thought my graphics were good, and then I saw everyone else’s in-game pictures. It is not a huge priority for me, I can still see my outfits just fine when adventuring. But my Mastodon pfp is a shot I took in Infinity Nikki, so… I should probably upgrade that someday.

I did like most of the puzzles. Most. Some of the “jump on a platform to tilt it correctly for the ball to roll” ones were so hypersensitive to like 1° of wrongtilt I actually had to look up solutions and it still did not work sometimes, I had to keep adjusting. But the Hamiltonian path ones (jump on all the platforms ONCE) were a lot of fun, as were most of the box pusher ones. Box pushers made me use my brain.

Combat is right where it should be for mobile folks like me ;-; I am sure I could take a difficulty bump on PC. Platforming on mobile feels like I am probably having the same difficulty as PC/PS5 folks while I see people in the Discord talk about how mobile platforming is difficult compared to doing it on PC/PS5. I guess growing up on PC, Nintendo DS, and Wii gaming trained me for this—I never ever learned how to use a conventional controller.

copy/pasted from my comment on [email protected]

Game is actually very high-quality. A lot of girly games I grew up with were… not of the best quality, while more stereotypically boyish or gender-neutral fare was better. This game is aimed at women/girls and actually has very nice gameplay and graphics (and people of other genders can absolutely enjoy it too). As of now there are soft and hard timegates but they do not feel anywhere near as frustrating as typical mobile energy timers. I tried Ikemen Vampire and despite liking otome games, I bounced off super hard after a couple days of genuinely trying because so much was gated behind freaking energy. Progress on story can be soft-gated here (must level up clothes or get good enough clothes to certain amount, it takes energy to level up clothes or get certain—but not all—clothing materials) but you can still explore the open world, collect most materials, and dress up Nikki/play minigames to your heart’s content, so it feels way less bad.

At least, that’s why I am assuming such an innocent community ad has attracted downvotes so early on. It’s not some shovelware game or a Flash dress up game out of 2008 (though I did like the latter). In a period of my life where I am having trouble sitting down and just enjoying a video game, I have gotten quite hooked on Infinity Nikki. Tried on the recommendation of the OP once late December, have been playing almost daily ever since. It’s genuinely fun.

you might want to tell [email protected]

You should probably tell [email protected] and [email protected].

I like to promote topic-specific instances so also [email protected]

Thanks for the “mostly fanart posts” disclaimer. Back on Reddit and now on Lemmy, a big issue I have with anime communities is it is often just Pixiv/Twitter/Danbooru art reposts. It is kind of annoying because I want to talk about the anime, not see art reposts. Yes, I understand Lemmy is a link aggregator and so that is a valid use of Lemmy, and my frustration is likely an uncommon opinion given this is how most anime communities are and there seems to be lots of upvoting and little pushback. Guess that’s what [email protected] is for, but you would still think you would find more discussion about AnimeName on the community named AnimeName. All goes to say, thank you for that disclaimer!

If it’s worth anything, I figured it was a 50% chance you were a Musk fan and a 50% chance you just liked the pun with no particular fondness for the man.

Thank you, especially for posting sometimes so that it is not just me screaming into the void!

To be honest I forget, but it was back when I was on kbin.run and within the past 2 weeks. I have tried a few other instances and it does not work from them. Thank you for your advice, I will definitely be putting it to use!

No problem!

I am not sure what to do about certain other communities I followed. [email protected] seems to still be active from the last time I could access kbin.run, even though feddit.de is gone and some instances cannot see the community at all (probably because feddit.de is dead. I am guessing kbin.run could probably see it because an account—probably mine—was subscribed before feddit.de died), and its mod is active. I messaged them about moving at least a week ago, no reply (will be resending because that message was sent with my now-inaccessible kbin.run account). Not sure if it would be bad etiquette to just start my own somewhere not-dead.

Not a Musk fan but your username is great!
