@wavesofwhimsies well they didn’t even want mc voice in game because it “disrupts the immersion” aka mc must remain a voiceless blank slate to project on
What alarms me is that racism, homophobia and mass harassment were very much weaponized in order to get valko removed from the game, what type of message are you sending your players surrendering to such a campaign? It goes to show bigotry is very much alive and effective
@larlaristy the lads fandom has always had an issue with homophobia tbh. i remember the vitriol against raf getting shipped with the other boys. also they didn’t even like ytbs reacting to lads (cuz yk they react to games) cuz it’s a “safe space for women” and some bs
@DeputyARUUU 1. is true
2. is bullshit
3. is true
4. is homophobia
5. don’t play the game then? it’s a game, not your irl boyfriends. if you can’t differentiate between the two, you have a problem
@IrisIrrr@xyzlians yeah because it’s a kink bro? all the lads li’s represent some kind of taboo kink/aspect. caleb is the most famous with incest, but this is also a 🍇 kink thing. I am not against the exploration of kinks in media, i’m just saying as it is. infold knows this already
the last thing ill say about the valko situation is that there is no artistic merit in a story that changes based on player whims. LaDS will never produce anything worth staying for. you may as well AI generate the rest of the story, that's how worthless their artistic merit is.
Are you all dense and fucking stupid? The main story will take even longer now because they have to go back and rewrite the place Valko had in it. You're all so fucking uneducated on how creating a game works holy fucking shit
y’all let unchecked homophobia run wild because “it’s for girls only” which is coming back to bite you in the back. I don’t even feel sorry for y’all since it’s such a terrible fandom, int and cn both
A Letter to All Players
Dear Miss Hunters,
We sincerely apologize for reaching out once again. Over the past several days, our team has been closely following your conversations and feedback across all platforms. For the issues that have surfaced since the announcement of Version 6.0—and the frustration these have caused our community—we want to clearly state: we are sorry.
As we've expressed before, our vision for Love and Deepspace has always been to build a world that grows alongside you—one that offers a richer, deeper sense of companionship over time.
As various issues have arisen in recent days, we have moved quickly to make the necessary adjustments. After reflecting on recent events, we recognize that we moved forward with the introduction of Valko before we were truly ready. In doing so, we let down the players who have supported us from the start, and we also fell short of delivering the experience that players anticipating Valko deserved. After extensive internal discussions, we have decided to make the following changes:
1. We have decided to cancel both the launch and any further development of the new love interest. We also commit that no additional love interests will be introduced in future content plans.
2. All other in-game systems and features originally scheduled for Version 6.0—including Home 2.0 and AR Photobooth—as well as the limited-time Selectable 5-Star Memory Rate-Up Event, will proceed as planned. The outfits, photo poses and scenes, and the Nighthush Box (the second-anniversary 4-Star Memory Selection Crate) originally planned as rewards for the Hunt in Linkon event will instead be sent to all players for free via in-game mail after the version update.
3. Going forward, the entire team will focus on further developing the stories and long-term companionship experiences of our five existing love interests, while ensuring a stable pace of Main Story production and updates. Rafayel's new Solar-Slot Memories and Companion will be revealed in July. Farspace Colonel Caleb and Onychinus Leader Sylus will also return in their Main Story branches in September and November, respectively. By participating in the relevant events, players will be able to obtain the corresponding 5-Star Main Story Branch Memories for free. We will continue to devote all our care and effort to bringing you richer stories and game experiences.
4. Beginning today and continuing for 30 days, players who log in each day will receive one Deepspace Wish via in-game mail. Each mail will remain claimable for three days, for a total of 30 Deepspace Wishes. We hope this can offer some compensation for the disappointment and disruption caused by these adjustments.
To our community: once again, we apologize. Because of our actions, the joy you should have found in Linkon City became a source of distress, and the feelings you hold most dear were hurt. We are deeply sorry for the hurt and disappointment we have caused.
Love and Deepspace has always been about sharing love with you and protecting the love we all hold dear. That purpose has never wavered. Every step forward taken by the love interests and Linkon City—from its beginnings to where it stands today—has been shaped by your feedback, your passion, and your trust. It is your presence, care, and companionship that give this world its meaning, and us the strength and direction to move forward.
Over the past two and a half years, we've shared moments of joy and gratitude, as well as challenges and difficult times. Through every late night devoted to making this world better, it has been the moments you've shared in Linkon City—and the love and passion behind them—that have kept us going. We hope to continue walking this road with you, building a world where love can take root, grow, and bloom.
Going forward, we will work harder, listen more carefully, and do our utmost to honor the trust you have placed in us. We will stay focused on delivering the experience you deserve—one filled with love where every moment in Linkon City can once again become a joyful and treasured memory.
Linkon City will always be here for you.
Thank you—for your trust, your honest feedback and encouragement, and for being with us every step of the way. Your companionship has helped light the path ahead, and your faith in us has given meaning to every effort we make. Thank you for your love throughout this journey. It gives us the courage to keep moving forward. We hope to repay that love with even more and even better content in the days to come.

ill be real i dont give a fuck abt some retcon 😭 i believe arle and sandrone's relationship was supposed to go in a different direction at first but it changes absolutely nothing about either of these characters its such a non issue
all of those who were once touched by bella’s (@scuderiabellas) kindness or just knew her by her tweets/edits, please share this video and tag everybody that you know can help. this is bella’s brother and he needs help to find her and their family 🤍
People don't understand how big taking away control of Irminsul from the HP is. Aaru replacing Irminsul takes away a lot of the control the HP had over fate in Teyvat.
Also why I continue to say everything he did was part of not just Dottore's own plan, but the Tsaritsa's.
arnold always clocking it. i have seen SO MANY people not realize that burning irminsul was what dottore wanted and he baited nahida to do it. he says it in very clear terms here and people still don't get it.
@MutherMurder@Calebpower9 while the endfield chara faces look pretty anime, what makes it work is that the designs and outfits fit into the world. in wuwa it’s too fantasy so it clashes into the realistic world
@oliverhangout yk what pissed me off sm during this time? i found and LOVED this song be for the fic even came out. seeing in real time, how the comments changed from “hey great song!” to green blue bs was awful. i cant even listen to this song anymore
