There is also a post on r/gaming regarding the article of course: https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/s/gBAdCLkcvv

The article is such a nothing-burger piece. It essentially just regurgitates everything already been sad on the topic and adds nothing new. It doesn’t even provide context on the in-game event or why the poisonous flowers were even mentioned in the recipes.

And it adds a little () paragraph at the end. Once again, all of this has gotten way out of hand. Infold has published a safety disclaimer already but I guess the clicks on this were too juicy to resist and enticing so even IGN needs to milk the topic too.

Worse yet, people who haven’t read the article and only saw the title are using this as an opportunity to dunk on LADS players and women in the gaming space. () mains got the attention they wanted, I hope they are happy now.

Finally got my 8th 36th clear, after 2 resets of being stuck at 35/36.

As always, I tried to use all three of my husbands at the same time. It makes stella-matching easier. I think if I had to do this with just Sylus or Caleb, I would struggle. One of the benefits of being a multi-main.

I waited until I could get the Caleb branch card to get the additional dmg boost. Was somewhat unlikely with my banner pulls so I only got Caleb’s card today. I’m sure with a 40% boost, this SHC is a pretty easy clear.

Team A and C were cleared with a 10% boost with plenty of time to spare.

Team B cleared with the 30% boost and got through with about 5 seconds to spare.

Most protocores between lv 9-15. I equipped dmg boost to weakened protocores. And as you can see, a lot of my cards are at lv 70. Not bad at all.

I hope everyone is doing well this reset.

Hey everyone :) I’m sure we all so super excited for Zayne’s upcoming birthday event. I thought I would put together a mini guide of things I wish someone had told me last year or even earlier on this year in preparation for a birthday event. Some of these are also me trying to make sure that nobody makes the same mistakes I have made in the past.

🩵Each birthday event gives players 20 limited wish tickets. The first 10 are available in the mail (which you can claim during the entire duration of the birthday event) but the other 10 are from the event shop. You do not get wish tickets as pull rewards.

🩵If you want to get your second 10 pull on day 1, make sure to only unlock the doll parts that cost 50 tailored gifts (event currency). You will also have to play the mini-game a few times to get as much of the event currency as possible for the first day to afford the doll parts.

🩵 It takes 6000 event shop currency to buy all 10 wish tickets. It is pretty achievable to get more than that on the first day.

🩵The birthday event shop will have Zayne’s new birthday outfit for this year but also his birthday outfits from prior birthdays too. But MC’s outfits are all currently available in the chocolate shop and will be there even after the birthday event ends.

🩵Please also remember that until his birthday, you can adjust his plushie as many times as you want but once you have unlocked the final day of the event story and sung happy birthday for him, you can’t adjust it anymore. That version is final. You can still edit the plushie on the day of his birthday and even on the next day, so long as you haven’t played through his final birthday story event.

🩵The reruns of his past birthday cards are not in mixed together in one wish pool. You get to select which rerun card/pool you want to pull for and your pity for the rerun pool will carry from your last rerun pool (so your current NDZ banner pity). Once you get the card you want from the one rerun pool, you can then switch to other rerun wish pool. Normal pity and drop rate rules still apply.

🩵Like with most rerun banners, you can not use the golden limited wish tickets on them. So the free 20 pulls can only be used on Zayne’s 2026 birthday card.

🩵When purchasing wish tickets in the shop, please double check if you have bought the correct ones. There will be two types: the regular limited deepspace wishes (golden ones that expire) and the limited Time deepspace wishes (the golden but with green and blue Earth imagery on them that also expire). You can not use them interchangeably. One is for the new banner and the other only for reruns. please, please please double check that you have selected the right ones before you purchase them.

These are only a few things. I hope everyone has a fun time during Zayne’s birthday. I’m so excited. The card looks so good. I hope these little things can help someone out there who might be confused about stuff. I’m sure there is stuff that I have forgotten about so if you have other tips, please share them.

I wish everyone who is planning to pull for any of the birthday cards good luck🍀

my rough draft is due in less than 7 days, i have no words written lol. But here are some fun Caleb memes for everyone to enjoy ☺️.

For my fellow POC girlies, the elf ear accessory does actually adjust with your skin tone. These are the pointy ears on the Secret Promise. I’m not sure how the blushy/moonlight ones look as I only wanted the Sylus promise card.

Pic 1- second darkest skin tone
Pic 2- third darkest skin tone

Kinda sad that I’m even excited for the literal bare minimum but I’m still hopeful that we’ll get fixes for the lighting issues.

I feel kinda sad that I am so happy that the elf ear accessory even does this. But I’m so happy right now despite knowing that this was literally the bare minimum. Just Infold things🙃

I tested it with my MC on the third darkest shade (the one i use normally in the game) which is pic 1 and the second darkest which is pics 2-3
too. I haven’t seen anyone make a proper post about this yet and I figure this could be useful for future reference purposes.

Now can Infold please fix the lighting in the rest of the game😟.

Edit to add: this is the generic "pointy ears". I only bought the Sylus promise. It does look like the glittery one might have a bit of an issue from the photo i saw from Discord. But the blushy pink ones look to be fine? idk.

This SHC wasn’t too tricky. I’m not really a combat girlie but I try. The stellas are pretty decent and I didn’t struggle too hard with matching them. Most of my protocores are between lv 9 and 12, with a few at 15. These are not my strongest teams at all but I wanted to share them anyway.

Team A with Caleb Netherlord- photos 3&4. It was a little tricky in terms of timing😣, i only got the 3 stars for the final round at exactly 1:30. I redid this final round several times because I kept messing up my timing.

Team B with Sylus Silverwing Fiend- photos 4&5. I also barely got the 3 stars. I think it would have been easier with higher def but most of my good yellow protocores are hp based. My dmg to weakness was also pretty low. Also cleared it with a few seconds to spare.

Team C with GOA Zayne- photos 6&7. Pretty easy as always with Team C. Cleared it with more than 15 seconds to spare for the three stars and my cards are severely under-leveled.

I think the 40% boost really helped me out this time. This is my 7th 36 star SHC clear. But I can’t believe that I already have more than 5. Pretty happy that I didn’t need to spend the next two weeks farming and working on it. I’m stuck on OO 270 so I want to focus on farming for that instead. I hope everyone else is enjoying the new SHC season☺️, wishing a 36 stars to everyone✨.

Not sure if this is the correct tag for this, but oh well.

So apparently, V was trending on Weibo for about 6 hours. As we all know, trending topics are expensive to buy and V hasn’t had the numbers before to trend this high and for this long on his own in CN on weibo. So, if this was bought, the prime suspect might be Infold themselves.

Also, 3 non-LADS influencers essentially all posted the same thing around the same time. They all have millions of followers too. This also looks potentially like someone might have paid them too. The most likely suspect being Infold once again.

Now, Infold paying for these things is all alleged but if it is true then that means they are still active right now in the space and are not only not giving any kind of statement on their own but also spending money to boost V’s presence and "clear his name". Oddly enough, the social media posts from the influencers seem to be emphasising the global effort for his return.

What do you guys make of this?

Edit to add: the Rafayel trending topic before V’s got traction was related to his new myth. That makes everything about this extra suspicious. If Infold is paying for trending topics, are they paying for all of them or just the V ones. And why pay for the V ones if Raf’s myth is trending? It doesn’t make sense.

Inflop messed up so bad that after literally a year of not drawing at all, I opened my procreate app😭. I’m literally relearning how to draw because i’m so stressed out and I needed a creative outlet. I hope they’ll bring him back before I finish this piece.
