Tbh there's so many trash gacha advertisements that even honkai just kinda blends in.

Gacha is a mistake

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

the only advantage of this decrepit and rapidly decaying brain, is that I find the notion of paying for the opportunity to maybe unlock a skin for a character in a free to play game to be absurd and very silly

for years ffxiv put the cool, thematic mounts up for grabs as rewards for hard content and left the cute, funny mounts for the cash shop

now there's a detailed raid-thematic mount in the cash shop and they put a big dopey axolotl in as the hard content prize and it's funny af

and people really want that fuckin axolotl lol

i already have a mikoshi, a tank, a frog robot, five different dragons, a hippo cart, the car from ffxv, and the giant jibanyan balloon (which was the most grinding i've done in the game)... i think i'm ok for now

I don't care how good Honkai or Genshin is, gacha is bad and should be banned on general principle. This is from someone who plays FF14, and I vote

You can't get the Rathalos mount in the free demo of FF14 and that's why it's a trash game. :colbert:

This hobby really has a way of aging you because you'll be remembering a year like 2008 and think "oh 2008 wasn't that long ago, that's the year Obama got elected" and then you'll remember that video games backed then still looked like this:
