Pride asks 11: Favorite (or just one you love) piece of LGBT media?

Celeste is really good.

Also I guess fanfic is kinda cheating but our friend @kiraheartilly36's fanfic Maris Stella (Miraculous Ladybug) is cool as heck imo

(Pride asks for fun)

your feeling is right - CRK is essentially an incremental game (a la cookie clicker) with gacha mechanics. The PvE balance in CRK has been full of difficulty spikes (7-25 nightmare librarian, 11-23 wizard/strawberry, 11-27 raspberry, 14-10 yeti boss, dark mode ch. 14 being impossible to complete at launch)

omg, wasn't playing when dark mode ch. 14 was impossible, but do remember hearing about it

looking back, the only time i really had fun playing the game was during the BTS event when I was mad about ovenbreak's 6 anni (that's a whole separate topic holy shit). I actually really liked it and, even tho scores were tied to how many BTS members you had, it certainly felt more like a game than base kingdom haha

It also didn't help that the game does not feel that competitive. Like,, there is a PvP mode, but you have no control over anything- you just need more meta/stronger cookies. I think it's obvious in both games your score is tied to your cookies for the most part, but when you get to the higher level play in ovenbreak, you also start to factor in skill- which as a long time player I really enjoy. Kingdom, sadly, doesn't have that from my experience and I feel like that makes the more predatory gacha practices stand out

#I also REALLY liked with past GCL holy shit #would've died on the last round bc abyss monarch isn't maxed out for me. but still- super fun #rambles #mtcenarius #ask

Hi Noelle :) So this month is effectively HuPuWriMo for me. We got a ton of work to do to deliver mitmh 2024.

Hello Cen! 👋 Clearly this is a coded message to find six elements on the periodic table and pair them up, taking the difference between their atomic numbers to get iCB, the International Container Bureau. mitmh2024 confirmed to be about the Evergiven blocking the Suez Canal. Nailed it! ...in all seriousness, wishing you a very productive hunt puzzle writing month! Looking forward to see what y'all do with the hunt! I was a little behind in getting together a team for Galactic, and with the reduced team sizes, I'm not sure if I'm going to try and get picked up in a last minute spot on another team or just solve at a slower pace on my own. Lots of hunts to fill out the rest of 2023!

Shadow Milk would surely write puzzles and/or design escape rooms, sometimes with high stakes :)

He probably would! In the Circus Tent :)

(Post about that in the works, actually.)

Pond Dino was the standard epic, while Snapdragon broke the arena meta, and has its own purchasable package to enhance the egg hatching gacha. I'm waiting for the day the next cookie run game becomes a runaway hit, so I can watch the CRK players squirm when their game goes to hell :)

lmao, a bit mean to Kingdom players XD

BUT as someone who is almost exclusively an ovenbreak player, I understand the sentiment. Even when they announced kingdom, I remember the only thing interesting to me being the potential for world building and some new characters. It's an auto fighter(? I think that's the genre) so like,, it also doesn't feel like a game at all. In the early days I was just,, starting a mission and putting my phone aside to complete the story. It wasn't engaging, but I felt forced to do it to see how the story would turn out. After a while tho, I would get stuck bc I wasn't able to afford leveling my cookies up due to a lack of resources and time. This is basically how many resource collecting mobile games tho, but like,, at that point ppl were uploading the cut scenes so I just watch those now instead of reinstalling the game lol

And, maybe this is just a me opinion, but I also think ovenbreak can have good writing, but it for some reason isn't the main story lmao. I actually do enjoy the more "self-contained" updates that don't touch the main story at all. All the updates with Roguefort are super fun, for example. That being said, a lot of these one-off stories are pretty one note and I do think that Kingdom is better if you are looking for something with a bit more nuance (Tower of Sweet Chaos will always be my favorite mwah!!)

I have other thoughts, but it's all very jumbled up in my head so, tl;dr: ovenbreaks more fun imo, but I hope the devsis tries to branch out from games with micro transactions OR at the very least, doesn't have them baked into the DNA of the game so heavily

#putting in. the main tag bc i wanna hear others thoughts!! #genuinely interested in this topic #ik this is a negative kingdom post. but know that i do love the series as a whole. these are just critiques <3 #mtcenarius #ask #idk about the vr game coming out tho #vr games make me sick. and i dont have a headset #rambles #cookie run
