So doom and gloom aside... I believe that there's a big problem that needs to be addressed here!

Why isn't anyone talking about the awesome gacha games on this smartphone!?

Warrior Stickman. Dragon Odyssey. Blood Empire. Strike Knights. There's so many mobile games around here and I see everyone is just sleeping on them! Do none of these ring a bell?! Have you all lost of your sense of romanticism and adventure!? We just had a tournament with Mario Party for crying out loud! Surely this has tickled your interests in video games a little bit!

For those who don't know... Gacha gaming is the ultimate pass time where you can play video games on your little smartphone here. Pretty self-explanatory, right? But be warn that if you decide to step into the world of gacha... It's a incredible hell that you're walking into. An all-or-nothing bloodbath where the strong live and the weak die. A path of carnage and broken dreams where 1-Star characters are devoured and forgotten by the irresistible 5-Star characters.

In a sense... Our society is no different from a gacha game, no? The strong and beautiful who live in high society are considered the 5-Star characters and we who have been drinking from the gutters and crawling through mud are the mere 1-Stars! But fear not 1-Stars... I, Tennouji Kotarou, the man who rules over common sense, am here to bestow my knowledge upon you! As the chosen "Common Sense Archon" it is my duty to pass on my fruits of wisdom!

So if you'd want a place to start, I can suggest that you play "Glory Kingdom"! It's one that I'm pretty into lately. Ever dreamed of befriending a cute goddess? Ever wanted to build your kingdom from the neck up? Ever wanted to team-up with a crazy tyrant babe who hates your guts, then slowly falls in love with you as you show her the joys of the normal world?!

Then this game is absolutely for you! They're even giving away free gems for new players who join, so what are you waiting for? Don't be a 1-Star, be a ★COOL STAR★ and join in the big sensation sweeping the island nation!

P.S: I was not paid to do this (though I will accept donations since I'm a little low on cash right now from my valuable gacha gaming research)! I simply want to share my joy involving a little hobby of mine! If you have any questions, I'll be more than happy to answer. Thank you. ♥

coward

oh boy

[scriptwriter]

haaaaah?
the hell is THIS???
you wanna say that to my face irl???

[rateup]

nah man im talking to kadoc here

i totally creamed him in mario party but i still wanna play w him again sometime

maybe that wasnt the right game for him to show off his potential 🤔

[scriptwriter]

oh whoops my bad (*m＿ _)m
I get a little jumpy sometimes!

I think you should try a fighting game to see his stuff
I'm actually pretty good at those myself.
Used to play a lot of Glazeblue back in the day...

[rateup]

oh same
GB, BG, GDVS - i still play them to this day
also smash ofc
we could go for that first and see if he can get used to it
work our way up

[ guys he's literally just there ]

never be sorry

[impostorsyndrome]

Why are you plotting out training me in video games just so you can keep kicking my ass in them?

[rateup]

it builds character

besides
do u really think expert gamers are born
you gotta go through a whole ass training arc for that
altho having an inherently good hand-eye coordination would help a whole lot

[impostorsyndrome]

I know that, and I do. The part where you're making a mistake here is in assuming that becoming an expert gamer is how I wanna spend my time.

[rateup]

then what do you do during your free time

[impostorsyndrome]

Not counting work or quests, since you said free time

Read the network, practice my magic, study up on this place, check out the music scene, go out hunting or camping once in a while

[rateup]

camping......

[ not his weakness... but man, the mention of music alone reminded him of masumi all of a sudden. how he misses spring troupe. ]

i mean, those sound fun and all
but they sound kinda lonesome
didn't you feel the thrill when we did all those minigames in mario party

[impostorsyndrome]

I can't believe you're this invested in this. Is it really just because I was that easy a win?

[rateup]

youre not that easy
is your self-worth that low that you think that you suck at mario party of all things
i just wanted to, is all
and
well
i needed an excuse to get out more tbh

[impostorsyndrome]

Ugh

Not like I don't get that. You weren't wrong that my hobbies are pretty solitary. I'm not much of a people person.

[But he is somewhat more of one than he pretends. If he weren't, he wouldn't be bothering to text back here, or . . . invite multiple people in this post to meet up. The more he settles in in Camelot, the more he feels the urge to reach out now and again.]

To answer your question, yeah, my self-worth actually is that low

It's not even that I suck, it's that I'm not interested in setting myself up to be bullied by anyone. I know that whole song and dance already.

[rateup]

would you really call that bullying
because i would know that song and dance too

[ ...hm. ]

i mean if you want i can kneecap myself just to make it fair
i just thought that you might think that im not taking you seriously if i do

[impostorsyndrome]

I'm not trying to say you beating me would be bullying. Just that I don't know you well enough to know that's not the end goal. Sorry. It makes you a suspicious bastard, but it sounds like you might know about that too.

I wouldn't want you to go easy on me.

[rateup]

yeah
we irl losers gotta stick together lmao

but nah i kinda get where you're coming from
our affection levels w one another aren't that high enough yet
and some people takes longer to raise theirs
but i swear it's gonna be different this time
since we're not at a tournament or anything
we can just go by our own pace

[impostorsyndrome]

Are you this invested because you think we're both losers who need to stick together?

I wish I could even be offended by that, but I can't.

Fine.

[rateup]

haha yeah
also you kinda remind me of someone back home
at least you're more agreeable than him

ill let you know when im free then
quests to do, pngs of anime girls to collect
you know how it is

[impostorsyndrome]

Can't believe I'm actually more agreeable than someone

But yeah. That works
