Hello.

[Cade Finley @Aluricius]

@WingedWasabi Okay, I genuinely adore this. Thank you.

Little known fact, but a compact size makes for fuel-efficient hating. It's why Chihuahuas get so much hate per gallon.

@RyouEmerald Well now that we're back in Antarctica, space isn't quite the luxury it was in the Wandering Sea/Border. On the other hand, those giant tables imply there might be some Simulator shenanigans going on.

Please excuse me, I used to write fanfiction so over-analyzing in in my bones.

@Wisecobra43411 @pop2theworld @TheBxos @AzukiSaishi A proper self-insert is someone who you either feel is just like you (and so not a blank slate) or is going through experiences you wish to feel for yourself vicariously.

Wise and/or Belle fit this mold rather well for many, specifically because they are their own characters.

[Cade Finley @Aluricius]

@Wisecobra43411 @pop2theworld @TheBxos @AzukiSaishi I still don't think you're quite getting it, making a character a blank-slate is actually a lazy shortcut to making them relatable. It's often just a cop-out and bad writing.

They're blank so practically ANYONE can self-insert into them without the need to actually be relatable.

[Cade Finley @Aluricius]

@AzukiSaishi @luma_official_ @_razuh_ They are insufferable. But so are the people who come onto art depicting a character like Arlecchino with a man to complain about how disgusting it is, and protest that "she is gay".

Honestly everyone is far too concerned with how complete strangers view fictional characters.

[Cade Finley @Aluricius]

@Wisecobra43411 @pop2theworld @TheBxos @AzukiSaishi The fact that these protagonists were distinct characters took a backseat to the feelings I wanted to experience while reading about them.

Of course they weren't anything like me, but that was the entire point. If I wanted to experience a life like mine, I would just not read!

[Cade Finley @Aluricius]

@Wisecobra43411 @pop2theworld @TheBxos @AzukiSaishi You...don't understand self-insertion very well, do you?

It's also about having a life one finds desirable. For example, I spent much of my teenage years in and out of the hospital so I took to self-inserting into books as a way to vicariously experience the life I was missing.

@Kross_Vik @sos0909k Nikke Maxwell liking the Commander doesn't change what happened to human Maxwell. The only one who could change her mind about that is dead, by her own standards.

So while the behavior Maxwell may show the Commander may be closer to that of her human self, it's still not "true".

[Cade Finley @Aluricius]

@RealityCallin @Kross_Vik @sos0909k But this has absolutely nothing to do with glazing at all? Human Maxwell is dead, the Commander being a Gary Stu wouldn't affect the situation one way or the other.

No matter how hard Nikke Maxwell falls for someone (or doesn't), what happened to human Maxwell remains the same.

[Cade Finley @Aluricius]

@change2change4 @mmingis18 As much as they may have deserved it, Maxwell was right in that Syuen took the easiest option by killing them. She's the CEO of Missilis, she absolutely had the power to imprison them forever. Her father did that with Jien, after all.

Enikk would see it done for the Ark's sake.

@Vemus_01 Back when I pulled in JP, I ended up with NP4 BB Dubai before even one Tenoch appeared. Later I decided to pull in a guaranteed banner on New Years, with BB being the only character in that specific banner I already owned.

Now I have a NP5 lvl120 Grand MoonCancer Golden BB.

[Cade Finley @Aluricius]

@Roseghart Ellen is doubtlessly my favorite ZZZ character. So on the one hand, this looks awesome.

But on the other, the biological implications of a flesh-and-blood tail turning into clear liquid leaves me a bit befuddled. I know it ain't that deep, but I can't help it.

@AkibHas63818808 @schizohealer Exactly. I don't understand why so few seem to see that as a valid option.

Then again, there probably are plenty of yuri enjoyers who do exactly that happily playing these games. They just don't come and complain on the internet because they're largely content.

[Cade Finley @Aluricius]

@Henriaich @schizohealer Gacha by its very nature promotes a "harem" style of relationship around the protagonist, regardless of the gender. You, the player, are literally collecting these characters for your personal entourage.

It would be like catching a Pokemon, just for it to only obey someone else.

[Cade Finley @Aluricius]

@LorenzoBlackmor @Real_Ravenlock Yeah, I'm stumped on whether I want to pull for Norma or wait for Remielle.

And I still very much do want Lighter, the opportunity just hasn't come. Lost the 50/50 the first time, though that did effectively guarantee me Miyabi...

[Cade Finley @Aluricius]

@LorenzoBlackmor @Real_Ravenlock While I might prefer to pull for women, I do pull for men too.

Ironically ZZZ is probably the only gacha game I play that I haven't pulled for a male character (yet). I play FGO and regularly pull men, and I recently pulled Varka in Genshin. Hell, I was a Kazuha main for years.
