Welcome! My name's Five (they/them).
I do visual novel streams MonThuFri @ 13:00 PST, and gacha game streams SatSun @ 09:00am PST. I also play FFXIV sometimes.
Yes, I like gacha games. No, I'm not a gambling addict. We respect the existence of RNGesus in this house, but we do not worship him.
Don't forget to check out my main channel @veggiebltail, where I stream a much wider variety of games four times a week with VeggieBLT!

Swiping is cringe, hardsaving is based.
Never pull without planning for the worst case scenario. If you cannot handle the disappointment of the worst case scenario, do not pull.
Learn your gacha's pull rates and pity/spark systems. Plan around them long-term. The more patience you have, the less you'll ever have to gamble.
If a game--any game--ever makes you feel forced to spend money, you should reexamine your financial relationship with that game and make sure the amount of fun you're having with it justifies the cost.
"Building pity" is a myth invented by the paper-handed. Never pull unless you're okay having your pity broken by the rate-up unit.
The total fluctuates based on what's happening in-game. Typically it averages ~$50 CAD/mo, currently on-pause as I am unemployed atm.
I consider myself a dolphin. special events + discounted packs here and there. I seldom swipe for pull currency directly, though sometimes I clear out annual first-time purchase bonuses if I like the game enough.
I currently play Honkai Star Rail, Reverse: 1999, Zenless Zone Zero, Genshin Impact, and Arknights: Endfield. If my friends list isn't full, you can add me here: https://fivetail.gg/gacha
Hiatus/Seasonal: Arknights; Blue Archive; Magia Exedra; P5X
The gameplay loop of gacha is structured around logging in for a short period of time, completing some tasks, then logging out. This format helps me avoid the time sink of "endless play" that I easily succumb to in other games.
Saving up for characters also gave me something to look forward to, back during a time in my life when I didn't have much else going for me in that regard. I'm in a better place now, but old habits die hard.
