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 !newcommunities@lemmy.world
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.

Same. It is a thing because people read it. I do not think I have a quality filter, but I do have a finely-honed "will I enjoy it?" filter. And a lot of isekai passes it, so I read. Wonder how much of the backlash to it is
- genre fatigue: too much of it at all!
- genre is genuinely full of bad ones
also, !otomeisekai@lemmy.world exists and is very dead. I tried to reactivate it for a bit when my kbin.run account still worked, before the server went down. I'd be happy to try again if you want to too—even if it is just you and me yelling at each other.
Whew, thank you. And you are absolutely right I am explicit about its backup status in the sidebar.
So I made a backup community, !otomegames@lemmy.zip on your community, explicitly saying I would not do any posting or unlock unless the main !otomegames@ani.social died. Is that getting killed unless the community receives posts? What about the @OtomeGamesBot@lemmy.zip (which is usually me manually operating, oops)?
I wonder if someone closed it down? If not, I have had similar troubles with lemmy.zip and honestly forgot about them when I made this post.
To each their own. I feel as long as I personally recognize something is immoral in real life, I don't need a story to explicitly condemn it. I don't think I'll internalize a nonnegative—or even positive—portrayal of a bad act in a story as okay to do in real life.
I do recognize stories change minds, that little me read a fanfic with two men in a romantic situation, and it helped me internalize gay relationships as just normal relationships like any other instead of some weird thing you have to do in the privacy of your home while straight couples could hold hands outside judgment-free. That to people who think gay people are inherently sinners (or not sinners, but become sinners if they act on their feelings instead of repressing them and trying to be single forever/pretending to be straight) this would be "a nonnegative—or even positive—portrayal of a bad act in a story" teaching me that act is okay in real life. Stories can move the needle on what you believe is moral and immoral, yes.
But I'm also an adult with an idea of what is moral and what is not, and I think I'd be harder to win over on things like murder or revenge that I already have strong beliefs about. I can entertain ideas in fiction and enjoy a story without actually taking on the beliefs it seems to hold, or that the protagonist seems to hold (sometimes those things are different! Lolita has the narrator defend his pedophilia, but the story and author want you to think the narrator is disgusting—it is supposed to be an anti-pedophilia story).
I've found a lot of people who believe that anything that's less squeaky-clean than a Sunday school lesson will inevitably do harm and needs to be banned for everyone, not just their own personal consumption, so sorry if I'm coming off defensive. It's perfectly fine to decide this is not for you because you prefer stories with more upright protagonists, a clearer moral, etc. and because you think you might be easily influenced into taking on some bad traits. It is just that I have often seen that attitude pair with "everyone will be easily influenced into immorality by this, so it needs to go"—but I know it won't always.
For what it is worth, I am able to flip off the morality switch in my head and enjoy this revenge manga without feeling the slightest discomfort, while also being adamantly anti-revenge in real life. That was my position before this story and remains so afterwards.
I'll be honest, I use this as a Reddit replacement and I'm sure others do too. Lemmy is not Reddit but they are connected in some peoples' minds. I see it as a lovely opportunity to redo the mistakes made on Reddit, like not being able to edit a title.
I also like the idea of recreating the non-NSFW ___porn communities without such a name—I doubt people would object to NiceEarthPictures nearly as much as EarthPorn, if EarthPorn hadn't already become established and there were not arguments to make about discoverability. Some people might see wanting to excise "porn" from the community name as Puritanism taking hold, but for me it is less about "porn objectionable" and more "this feels a little immature, and for someone new to Reddit naming conventions they might refuse to click thinking it's porn porn, with sex, and not just innocent images". I can imagine people not being interested in whatever fetish would be labeled "Earth porn" regardless of how hard they'd judge the fetish, but being interested in pretty Earth pictures.
We should revive the lemm.ee instance
Because the others are dormant while that one is unmoderated? I thought it might be beneficial to just start making !imageedits@lemmy.zip alive again since it already exists. Even though the mod is inactive. If they do not come back or use Lemmy, you can always message the instance admin to install you as mod too and possibly kick the dormant account off the mod team, that's what I did with !bunnies@lemmy.world with my lemmy.world account.
Or is it because you use lemm.ee right now, and you only can use all mod powers on a local account? I have multiple accounts on different instances to deal with modding on different instances. It really does not take much effort for me to hop into different instances.
Delighted to find another chapter to this, thanks.
Sorely tempted to do what's probably breaking the rules and reply to some comments here with whether their predictions/wishes are true, since I stuck the web novel this was based off of through an online translator and know how it turns out, but I'm not going to do that. Writing this paragraph about that desire helps me not do it.
The fact I am sticking around for manga updates even though I know what happens anyways probably shows that this story is something that people enjoy :)
I read this as pure entertainment, not a story trying to teach a moral and tell you the protagonist's actions are morally okay. Not every story has to have good triumph over evil, or have a good lesson embedded in it. Also, I don't think the story intends you to believe that Remilia is a morally good person at all.
Username checks out :P
Thanks for doing your part to try to keep the Fediverse active.
Kind of frustrating that I am asking nice discussion questions, provide a little direction on what answers could be or an answer myself, and do not get too much engagement, but I do see lots of upvotes on just… images. I am here for discussion, not a duplicate of Pixiv.
I am following the manga, not the anime, but quickly skimmed the episode to see what Ep 9 covers to avoid spoilers or stuff that just never happens in the anime. Did my skim and the animation is nice and smooth!
I also appreciate how his family plays a role. (It is probably hinted at in the title, "Dad's Been Reincarnated," not "I've Been Reincarnated," so you'll probably expect to hear from his kid.) A lot of times people in the past life are present just to set up the character's personality/outlook and never brought up again. I don't mind that, but seeing something else done is still cool!
Also, double points for what seems like a healthy and peaceful family relationship. Mining family dynamics for drama is very easy (and totally understandable given the sheer amount of people with at least some amount of familial strife in their lives), so it is always nice to see a protagonist with a healthy home life.
This is when it's time to use c/Anime as just c/Manga. This post reminded me of the manga it's based off of and is a nice kick in the butt to go read it.
Oh boy. I can see why Bakarina is a breath of fresh air to people now. In that one, the game's original sweet main character isn't replaced by a nasty reincarnator thinking the world belongs to her, she is still a genuine nice girl. Thanks for introducing yet another entertaining manga to me
Forgot just how easy Chigda went down once I figured him out, thanks to
