Masturbate once per day? How old is this guy, 70?
Likely teen.
Man, doing Star Rail dailies takes about five minutes. Why even mention it?
I skip everything between make a coffee and eat dinner
I usually skip the coffee and the dinner 😳
What are you, like an adorable little frog on a cute little lily pad or something?
At that point I would skip turning on the PC and brushing your teeth.
Maybe skip sleep too
Some people complain not bring able to work, and then grind “dailies” and other bulls####
Bro doing 5 min dailies is Genshin is definitely not as hard as working a job in roofing or deal with customers at Starbucks.
I hate live service games. They also seem to be all anyone ever talks about.
You my friend, are talking to the wrong people
I just don’t understand how people can get so sucked into gacha games. All the art design, the game world, all the other stuff they try to use to camouflage the slot machine, none of that stuff works more than a few hours. Once you see the “seams” of the skinner box, once it becomes blindingly obvious there’s nothing to find at the “end” of chasing higher DPS or whatever, why do people continue? It loses any sense of fun the moment it happens.
I like anime girls and the games are fun, it’s not that deep
all the other stuff they try to use to camouflage the slot machine
They get sucked in to it for the same reason people throw all their money away on real slot machines. Gambling addiction is real, and we all have our vices. IMO it should be more regulated.
Yeah I tried Honkai Star Rail after seeing it pushed everywhere and I bounced off it hard. I guess my brain is just broken in different ways lol.
i like Blue Archive for its story and music and I’d even spend a few bucks if I really wanted a special character, but not much. since I’m not into the other gachas I might just be a rare example of an enjoyer tho lol
Addiction isn’t about fun.
It is about escaping.
In a lot of people it presses a button in their brain. That button says “Fuck yeah!” at first. After a while it says “I need this to function” or “This is what I do because this is what I’ve always done”. It takes effort to overcome the feeling of nothing when there was once something there.
Cute anime girls are cute.
They’re paid to talk about it.
They are live services precisely so there is something to talk about, and therefore more people join, and existing players stay hooked by FOMO.
I love how classic wow is tucked in there lmao
Yeah but that’s just a solid 8h block, accurate haha.
Look at Mr wakes up in the morning and brushes his teeth rubbing it in the rest of our faces.
What’s a dailie?
To expand on that, in live service games, there are daily high value quests that can usually be completed in 15 minutes. This is to provide a big incentive to log in every day and a low bar to get some great rewards. It’s a habit-forming technique. But if you enjoy the game, it’s an easy and quick way to get currency you’d otherwise have to buy.
‘It’s a way the game manipulates you into forming an addiction. But if you like being addicted…’

There are also rewards for daily login streaks where you get better rewards the longer the streak.
I could set records with my streaks
I record all my streaks.
With audio of course.
Well when you play that many shit games, of course you’re gonna hate your life
That got more brutal the more I read. I truly feel sorry for them and I play DotA and LoL.
… why lol?
I lol too when I see that people still play Dota.
How can people do so many at a time?
At most, i did the daily quests of 1 game
I’ve never done daily quests since they are just filler content to keep the ones with nothing better to do engaged.
I do the daily ffxiv dungeon rouletes since it’s an excuse to do old content without feeling like you lost time, but not everyday and not all of them.
They are not there to keep players engaged tbh, they are there so that people that wants to do that content can find people to do it with.
Good rewards for it too. On a few month hiatus from ffxiv but the roulette system really is fantastic.
Addiction
Yeah it’s a “dark” video game pattern. I hate that stuff so hard, I stopped enjoying wow when they did daily quests. It’s not fun, just a chore.
I’ve tried to get into it, but this makes me glad I don’t have the patience to get addicted to games.
My attention peters out pretty quickly unless I’ve got either constant novelty, amazing art, peerless vibes, or a moving story.
.
I do enough bullshit daylies offline already.
IRL dailies are the worst. They never have good rewards either.
Ouch. Yeah, same…
Full time job where you pay money to the boss. God damn ppl wake the f up and do smh
We won’t carry civilization like this. It’s in our generation hands now but they are tied doing genshin dallies and minds busy gobbling shipping fanfics. hence the old fucks like Biden and trump ordering us around as they please
Only live service Game I play is Warframe. Has no daylies weeklies if you want. Then all I ever play are offline games mostly indies. Recently finished Blasphemous 2 and now I’m playing bloodstained ritual of the night
The sortie is kind of a daily?
Agreed. I love Warframe and I think they are really good at humane design. But they are not above dailies and gacha mechanics.
Yea I don’t think they’re too bad about it. A little of that stuff helps keep things interesting for players. I have tons of stuff in that game and I think I only spent about 20$ on plat a few years ago and even that wasn’t really necessary with how easy it is to get stuff to sell other players. It really is a good player friendly F2p game.
