Fleet Report: Surprise! I Made You Something 🎁 (Two Somethings, Actually!)

Mod-mei's secret project revealed!

For the last few weeks, I have been quietly building two bots for this sub... and as of today both of them are live, and both of them are yours! 🎉

Requisition approved. Two units deployed:

🤖 otto-lads-news is the one you have already met without knowing. Yesterday, when the solo Caleb banner announcement landed when half of us were asleep in the middle of the night and the other half were just waking up... that was my bot. It watches official Infold channels and posts the moment something drops. No rumors, no third-hand screenshots, no uncles or "my friend's cousin saw a leak." Just real breaking news straight from the source, as fast as I can get it to you.

I actually built this one last month, but figured it didn't need to be introduced until we saw it at work. It officially finished its first day on duty and has earned its wings!

Welcome to the fleet, OTTO!

🤖 lads-card-summon is the fun one, and it is brand new. Put a card name inside double curly braces anywhere in a comment and the bot answers with that card's rarity, type, element, talent, memory type, and more:

{{clearday return}}

It is that simple! Summon several in one comment and it answers them all in a single reply. I'll seed some examples in the comments so you can see it working. Try it out yourself!

It is flexible about how you summon it too. Memory names work {{Your Skyblue}}, so do some nicknames and shorthand ({{netherlord}}, {{LR}}, {{wedding}}, and so do myth pair letters {{FA}}, {{NE}}. Capitalization and punctuation are ignored, so {{no-return night}} and {{No Return Night}}both work to summon the info for his first birthday card. Paired memories/myths return both halves automatically, because separating them felt rude.

Right now, my database contains only Caleb's cards right now, and replies with text details only. Card art is coming. Battle stats are also coming. LIs are coming after that. +more secret fun stuff ;)

Fair warning on this little one: I finished this bot over the weekend, right before the new card was announced, which is the funniest possible timing and is also why the new card is missing right now. It will be included the next release.

There's a lot more to say about both of my bots, including a whole roadmap on the next features I've planned and have already started working on for both. . . but I was just very very excited to release them into our sub for you all to play with in the meantime, so here you go! <3 Leave me a comment or send me a note about either bot: bug reports, questions, suggestions, etc.

I hope you enjoy them! They're a labor of love, and works in progress. Consider them to be in a sort of beta test mode right now; I'll be releasing updates and improvements for both as ongoing work. Let me know what you think as they fulfill their duties here in r/CalebMains !

-- Mod-mei 🍏 🍎

___________
EDIT: Thanks for the kind words everyone! And for testing it too. Thanks to you early testers, I've already found a bug that was sometimes preventing the bot from replying in a timely manner, and then timing out without replying at all. I just released a quick fix to see if the bandaid will help it reply more consistently for the next day or so. But if it still doesn't reply to you in the first few minutes, just know that I have a bigger fix already lined up for the next version. Reddit takes a couple days to approve new versions.<3

#Juneleb Day 30: First Impressions to Love Letters, Thirty Days of Caleb

Thirty days ago, I opened #Juneleb with first impressions, the version of Caleb you started with. Today, we’re going to contrast with who he is to you right now vs. when you first arrived. What has he become to you since then?

We have spent June turning him over in the light. We did the senses, the futures, the careers, the dreams, the small details, photoshoots, goofy polls, and had a lot of fun along the way. Somewhere in all of that, the Caleb you started the game with (or just the month with) and the Caleb you are holding right now probably changed a bit in the new light, or got a lot more specific, or finally clicked into focus in a way he had not before.

Who was he to you in the beginning (or on June 1) and who is he to you now? Maybe nothing changed and you just love him louder. Maybe one detail this month quietly rearranged the whole picture. Maybe you walked in for a trope and walked out understanding the man underneath it. Maybe you cannot put it into words yet and you just know the shape of him is different now, and that counts too. (Believe me when I say it took me months before I was able to put my own thoughts about him into coherent words)

Tell me where you landed. I’m leaving the floor open for all you beautiful souls to pour your heart out. Give him the love letter you’ve been carrying! <3

#Juneleb Day 29: We Are Totally Normal* About Caleb (Five Senses Edition)

Pip-squeak, today's #Juneleb assignment is simple and completely normal*: describe Caleb with any or all of your five senses.

Sight, Smell, Sound, Touch, Taste

Give us the details about him that live in your nervous system. One sense is plenty, or whole essays about any number of senses up to all five if your brain is as unwell about this man the way mine is.

*"Normal" is being used loosely, generously, and possibly fraudulently. Have fun ;)

#Juneleb Day 28: The Small Details [SPOILER warning: scope open for all published canon]

Okay sunny apples, a few days out from the end of #Juneleb, and I want to give one to the secret lore: the small details the game shows you instead of telling you, the ones you can play right past unless you happen to be looking at the right corner of the screen at the right moment, or you catch on your 5th playthrough.

The loud canon gets celebrated constantly, and it should. Today is for the quiet canon, the show-not-told stuff, the things nobody narrates at you. The fun lore details that reward those of us who are paying close attention! (also why I tagged this in 'lore' today rather than discussion)

Tell me yours: detail about him you picked up on and could not put back down. A background object, a repeated gesture, a UI choice, a single frame, a thing in a card you only caught on the third rewatch. A reference to one card that you caught from another card's story. Some of those details are innocuous fun easter eggs, and others may be critical story points or things we learn about him and his life or story.

Two house rules so nobody gets spoiled before they are ready:

  1. Say where your detail is from (card, memory, chapter, event), so people can read at their own pace.
  2. If your detail is a deep cut, from a recent release from the last few months, from an advanced gameplay (ie: unlocked above lvl 100 affinity), or delves into a critical reveal or story twist or things like that, tuck it behind a spoiler tag to be kind. (That said, I have already tagged this entire post with a blanket spoiler tag, and labeled the title as containing spoilers for everything currently published. All comments are assumed spoilers in this thread by that nature, but it'd still be nice for people to be able to browse at their own pace and know what specific content might be spoiled if they click further)

How to spoiler-tag (because I also never remember): wrap your text exactly like &gt;!this example!&lt;, with no spaces between the marks and the first and last letters of your words, and it becomes a grey tap-to-reveal bar. That is a greater-than sign, an exclamation point, your text, then an exclamation point and a less-than sign.

#Juneleb Day 27: The boring, beautiful forever (together)

Alright my little apple pies,

Yesterday we laid out our wishlists and dreamed up the cards we want the LaDs devs to make. Today, we aren't dreaming a "wouldn't it be cool to see...", we're just looking down the road and imagining life together in the future.

Not your first date, or first kiss, nor the big milestones we have swooned over all month. We're looking ahead at the ordinary "forever". The version of the two of you somewhere down the line, where the newness of being together has quietly worn into something deeper and the love has stopped being an event and just become the furniture of the day. The unremarkable, on-paper-boring stuff.

Paint us a random weekday years in! The morning routine you both settled into without ever deciding to. The argument you have had a hundred times that is not really an argument anymore. Who he gets to be once the missions are behind him and nobody smaller than him needs saving that afternoon. The small thing he does now that he would have been too guarded to do back in year one. The completely uneventful Tuesday you would pick over any grand adventure.

Cozy or bittersweet both belong here (forever is a loaded word for a man whom canon keeps trying to take things from, and the yearners in the back, we see you too!). One soft snapshot of a peek into a single moment of this future together is plenty. Or, a whole imagined life is also extremely welcome!

What does the boring, beautiful forever look like for you two?

Official Statement from the LADS Dev Team

https://x.com/Love_Deepspace/status/2070930161789186181

Dear Deepspace Hunters,
Recently, the development team has received a great deal of feedback and many suggestions regarding the game. We have also heard your concerns about the team's capacity to consistently deliver high-quality content in the future.

We would therefore like to take this opportunity to respond with the care that your trust and expectations deserve.

From the very beginning, we have hoped to make Love and Deepspace a romantic world that continues to grow alongside every Deepspace Hunter—a world filled with more diverse experiences and lasting companionship. This hope has guided us throughout the game's development and remains at the heart of everything we are working toward.

The development of Valko and his related content is part of the long-term content plan for Love and Deepspace. However, we recognize that the way information about Valko was presented did not give sufficient consideration to your expectations and concerns regarding the game's future content plans. As a result, many hunters have been left with questions and worries since Valko's initial announcement. We sincerely apologize for any frustration and unease this has caused.

We have also heard your concerns about whether future content can continue to be delivered consistently without compromising on quality.

Please be assured that the Love and Deepspace development team has continued to grow since the game's launch. The Main Story chapters you have been waiting for are currently in active development. The stories of Farspace Colonel Caleb and Onychinus Leader Sylus will continue, and the new series of Solar-Slot Memories will also be arriving soon. The development team will continue to deliver richer game experiences and high-quality content on a consistent basis.

We also understand that these concerns are not simply about the pace of updates. They come from how deeply you care about Love and Deepspace and the love interests who have been by your side throughout this journey. It is because you cherish every moment you have shared with them that you hope this companionship will continue for many years to come.

For this reason, we want to make this commitment to you: the stories, companionship, and future of every love interest will always remain an essential part of the long-term plans for Love and Deepspace. This will not change for any reason.

Enclosed with this letter are Deepspace Wish ×10 and Empyrean Wish ×10. Please log in to the game before July 23 to claim them from your in-game mailbox.

Once again, we would like to thank every Deepspace Hunter for the encouragement, honest feedback, and support you have given us throughout this journey. We know that it is your unwavering love and support that give meaning to everything we do and guide us forward.

In the future, the development team will keep working hard to bring you more high-quality content and a better game experience worthy of your support.

We hope you have a wonderful day in Linkon City—and many more wonderful days to come.

Love and Deepspace Development Team

#Juneleb Day 26: A Caleb Banner Wishlist

We're building a wishlist today: What's a banner or memory card you'd want Infold to make for Caleb, and what are you hoping to see in it that we haven't gotten yet? (Or something you just want to see again, explored in a new way)

It can be anything. A theme you'd like to see turned into a card or AU. The era or the AU the game has only hinted at. The piece of his past you want canonized. A moment we already got that you want pulled apart and explored deeper. The exact scene you've been waiting two years for. Headcanon arcs count too. If you've got a vibe, a whole story or just some of the plot beats outlined in your head, this is the place for it.

Tell us about your dreams and wishlist below! Go as detailed or as loose as you like. If you have ideas for outfits and accessories you'd put in the event, then go for it! Share away.

(If your dream card leans on something from the current film banner, or a *deep cut* lore tidbit, pop a spoiler tag on it so the folks still mid-read can scroll safely. Thanks!)

#Juneleb Day 25: "You always seem to calm the storm that's brewin' inside me"

We have kept it light for a few days, so today we go somewhere with more shadow. Buckle up, Pipsqueak.

There is Gege: The one who is soft with you, who laughs and teases and worries and makes breakfast and lets you see the warmth he does not hand out to anyone else. And then, there is the Colonel: The colder one, who has harder edges and a longer reach, who makes difficult choices and whose devotion does not always stay inside safe lines.

Some people only see him as one or the other: Liam only sees the Colonel. Gideon sees Caleb as he was before the fleet. Today is about the moment you (and we) get both: the flip-switch.

The moment the soft one goes still and something harder surfaces, or the lingering pause where the cold one cracks and the tenderness leaks through anyway. The line he says in the gentle voice that is actually a little frightening once you sit with it. The thing the Colonel does that is unmistakably love, just love that has stopped asking permission. Caleb holding both of these at once, and what it costs him to hold them, is the most interesting thing about him to a lot of us, and today is the day for it.

So tell us your flip-switch moment. The canon scene where the mask slips, a headcanon about what it takes for him to keep the two sides apart, your read on his struggle to hold onto the soft, human parts of himself when so much of his life demands (and is built for) something colder. Lean as far into the dark as you want, or stay in the ache of it if you want. Spoiler-tag the deep cuts so everyone can read at their own pace.

There is no wrong version of Caleb to love, but there's still something magic about the tension in that liminal space between two sides, isn't there?

#Juneleb Day 24: Thirty Unsupervised Seconds With Caleb's Phone

Today we are snooping. If you got thirty unsupervised seconds with Caleb's phone, what would you do?

Tell us what he has on his lock screen and his wallpaper. The app notifications and texts sitting there waiting for his attention. What is his most-used app, what does he have you saved as, and what is the one screenshot, app, or folder he would die before letting you see? What's written in his notes app, or stored on his camera roll?

Build him a whole phone or just give us one perfect detail. Canon, headcanon, whatever feels right.

Show us what you found, detectives!

#Juneleb Day 23: The meme that IS Caleb

Pipsqueaks! We have been soft and earnest and a little wrecked all week, particularly the last few days, so today we are doing the opposite. No feelings required, no lore, no analysis. Just the funny.

What meme is Caleb? Not necessarily the sweet one that reminds you of him, but the unhinged one. The reaction image that is his entire personality in one frame. The comment he would send you at 2am with zero context and total confidence you would get it. The format he would overuse in the group chat until everyone begged him to stop.

Drop the image, or describe it if you cannot post one, or slap a "he would 100% send this" caption on something already saved on your phone. The dumber the better. We have earned a stupid, silly day.

Bring your worst (best). Gege would want it that way.

reddit.com
u/Orpheus_is_emo — 2 months ago

#Juneleb Day 22: When U Come Back

We are in a waiting stretch, but it'll be okay: Caleb has basically trained us for it. Because the thing about him is that he always comes back. <3

Every goodbye or delay is secretly a "see you soon" wearing the wrong outfit. We know he'll make it happen.

So while we wait for whatever comes next, let us sit in the reunions we already have. Comforting stories and saved voice lines that remind you he's always thinking of you. The things that remind us that he's always thinking about returning to your side. The reunion you want to see, or the reunion you're waiting for are also valid; yearning is part of the package, after all.

No deep read required. Just bring the reunion and let us pile them up, because a room full of comfort and "he comes back" is a pretty good place to wait.

#Juneleb Day 20: A Quote Caleb Would Love

Pipsqueaks, today we're getting into his head a little.

Caleb's the type to keep small, meaningful things. So picture his taste for a second: the line in a book he'd dog-ear, the song he'd replay for the one lyric that hits just right, or the moment in a movie that quietly got to him.

What line would Caleb keep?

Share the quote, tell us where it's from, and tell us why it's so him. And if you want to flip it: what's the line you'd save for him?

reddit.com
u/Orpheus_is_emo — 2 months ago

#Juneleb Day 19: If He Weren't a Colonel...

Somewhere out there is a version of Caleb who never joined the Fleet. Never strapped into a cockpit. Maybe that version of him never had to be the most capable person in the room just because he had no other choice.

What do you think he'd be if his life went a different direction?

For Juneleb day 19, we're imagining another timeline & life for Caleb. Maybe he's got a job you can actually picture him clocking into. A chef with his own restaurant? A musician/performer? An engineer? A basketball player, or entomologist? Maybe he has some secret skill he's quietly, almost annoyingly good at that never made the official file in this timeline. Or he dove headfirst into a niche hobby he won't shut up about.

Tell us who he is when nobody's depending on him to save the day. The grounded answers, the ridiculous ones, the ones that are a little bittersweet, or downright tragic (will you kiss the brick before you throw it, though?). Simple or complex. Mix & match canon and invention however you want here!

Juneleb Day 18: A Wild Caleb Appeared!

It starts small: you see apples stacked up at the store. Your phone autocorrects a word to "pipsqueak"... and something in your chest goes oh.

That's the thing about loving him this much. He doesn't just stay in the game. He turns up in your grocery aisle, your playlist, the color of the sunset, or an offhand comment from a friend.

So today, tell us where Caleb has found you in real life! A comment he made in the cafe that was somehow a little *too* perfect for something you're going through IRL? Or a song that turned out to be about him without asking permission, the stranger whose laugh did the thing, the dish on a menu you can't order now without thinking about who'd cook it better. The more specific, the better; nothing's too small, too silly, or too sappy to count. that's where the love actually lives.

Where did he catch you off guard recently? Drop it below. We've all been there 🍎.

#Juneleb day 17: Dressing Up Gege

My dearest little sunny apples, with the new multi-banner event pulling everyone’s focus this week, here is something low-effort and purely fun to do between pulls today: dress gege up and show us!

Start wherever you like. The look you put him in every single time, the styling that just feels right for your version of him, or something that just fits your mood today. Maybe an underrated combo of accessories that yearns to show off your immaculate fashion sense dressing him up to the nines? The next look you think should be meme-worthy in the fandom? (Stalkerleb sure made a splash when that particular combo started making the rounds) If your choice is an outfit or accessory you are still yearning for, or the one sitting in the shop you cannot quite justify yet, then tell us which one made your wishlist & why!

And if you just want to dream a little, tell us the ‘fit you wish they would make… the look you would absolutely lose it over if they ever released it.

Serious or silly; owned, wanted, or pure fantasy, it all counts the same. Share what you’ve got (QR codes always welcome!), or describe the one that you’d love to exist. And tell us about it too, if the mood strikes. Tell us about what you love about the outfit or accessories you picked. Is there a particular theme or inspiration driving your choices?

#Juneleb Day 16: Movie Night In 🎬

Caleb's got the snacks, you've got the blanket. Who has the remote, and what are you watching?

Last year on his birthday, we watched a movie he loved from his childhood, "A Day with My Pilot, Ta-ta" together in [No-Return Night]. And tomorrow, a new movie-themed multibanner releases for us to enjoy. The system's down for maintenance soon, so we're settling in for a movie night together!

Picture it. A night in with Gege. He's provided the snacks (as always), you've claimed the blanket, the remote is up for grabs, and somewhere between the opening credits and the part you actually wanted to see, he's stopped watching the screen and started watching you.

So tell us:

  • What's playing? His pick, your pick, or the one you fought over and met in the middle on.
  • Does Caleb watch the movie, or is he the menace who narrates, critiques the science, and pauses it every five minutes to talk?
  • What's the snack situation, and did he cook?
  • And when the credits roll, what actually happened?

Mod-mei's bonus thoughts: writing this prompt was hard.... I re-wrote it a hundred times because I was getting so many ideas! I hope you are too. Here's some more prompts for fun, if you're getting into it or want more to play with:

What would he pick if it was a different time of your life together, and how do your tastes change from movies you watched as kids, in high school, or as an old married couple?

What if he was in charge of picking a movie for the fleet's off-duty break during a long-haul mission? Would he delegate it to Liam, or take charge of it himself? What about when watching something with Gideon & his old DAA crew, or if he had to sit through a movie with Viper?

What movie will he watch only for you, even though he hates it? What about the one you'll watch for his sake, despite being sick of it? What genres do you each love, hate, or fight over? What's your go-to? Do you trade off picking every-other-movie night, to keep things fair, or pick on a whim in the moment?

As usual, there's no wrong way to answer. Juneleb is about our time to celebrate Caleb in whatever way makes us happy.
