I used to play Need for Speed: World back in the day, and it had a daily of its own where you'd get to collect some treasures scattered around a random district in the city; doing so would give you a random reward, and the longer you kept up a streak, the better said rewards would get.

I was a broke teenager at the time, and it was the only way I could get remotely good drops at the time, but it was really annoying to do so every day and eventually it made me feel like a slave to the game. I actually kinda felt liberated when the game shut down since it meant no longer having that responsibility, and I don't think I ever want to get into dailies again.

Fuck you and I'll see you tomorrow.

But anyway, sounds like you need some Animal Well in your life.

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

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

Man, doing Star Rail dailies takes about five minutes. Why even mention it?

Oof... About Princess Connect...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What the hell is a princess connect?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

It was/is a mobile game that was published in the west by Crunchyroll. The EN server was shut down, though.

I don't go out into public much myself anymore, there's nothing for me to "do" outside of chores and errands. Most of my friend interactions are online or at a private residence over anything public.

Some people complain not bring able to work, and then grind "dailies" and other bulls####

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

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 love how classic wow is tucked in there lmao

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Yeah but that's just a solid 8h block, accurate haha.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 5 months ago

Well when you play that many shit games, of course you're gonna hate your life

[–] [email protected] 31 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That got more brutal the more I read. I truly feel sorry for them and I play DotA and LoL.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I've never done daily quests since they are just filler content to keep the ones with nothing better to do engaged.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Good rewards for it too. On a few month hiatus from ffxiv but the roulette system really is fantastic.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

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.
