[ so... guess who spent some of his credits on a smartphone?

guess who discovered certain apps?

guess who hasn't left his apartment all day? ]

Has anyone else been playing Hate Die? I seem to be kind of stuck on Pacifist War on expert mode. It's the rush toward the end that always gets me.

So... any advice?

[ there's a pause. ]

Oh, sorry, just one other thing. Creature Crossing: Compartment Complex... Apparently the app is still pretty new, but I can't decide how I feel about it. I mean, the animals demand constant favors, need you to build certain sets of furniture just to come visit your complex, and then it all goes to waste afterward? Talk about being used and abused.

Because it's the most efficient way to level up the rarer girls!

[ this is basic hate die 101!!! ]

[lalliho]

But it takes a long time and I can sacrifice them right away and get more space for more girls and make my good ones better right away.

[He understands it's how it's supposed to be played, but he doesn't understand why it has to be that way when it's stupid and a waste of time. Games are a foreign concept, really.]

[talim]

I'm not going to convince you, am I?

[ a heavy sigh on his end. ]

Well, whatever works for you. Thanks for adding me, though.

[lalliho]

Is that what you were doing?

[Conversation is also a foreign concept.]

[talim]

Well, yeah, I was just trying to show you the ropes. I guess everyone has their own way of playing, though.

[lalliho]

[Convincing vs showing ropes... Is this the same thing... Hmn, he'll have to think about that one.]

I thought you were just saying it's right and better, so that's the only way you should do it.

[talim]

Sorry, Lalli. I shouldn't have sounded so high and mighty. It's not like I've been playing the game much longer than you have.

[lalliho]

[...Ha. Now that he feels nice and vindicated, some of the prickly thoughts simmer down. He knew Jude couldn't be much better, and so hearing it said plainly... Yeah. That's right.]

I guess I don't need to work on my score grade, just my combo one. I guess I can use fake girls for that.

[talim]

Yeah! I know you can do it if you keep trying. Let's both do our best, okay?

[lalliho]

[………what does one do with protagonist rallying cries

if you're Lalli, you become uncomfortable and weirded out, rather than encouraged.]

Of...course? What else would we do...

[talim]

... it was just some words of encouragement...

[lalliho]

[squints]

Okay.

[yeah sorry he's still not encouraged...and why do they need encouragement... there's a lot here.]
