I've made peace with the knowledge that I do like gacha games (including the spending aspect) despite the risks. But you can bet I'm being way, WAY more careful about those risks than I used to back in the day, and I encourage others to do the same if they choose to engage. #InfinityEryn

I think I should be okay as long as I keep any Nikki purchases to small, guaranteed stuff like that. And for Reverse, thankfully I won't need to spend much on that for a while either based on what I've seen of the next few patches. So I should be able to stay on budget for that one. #InfinityEryn

At this point, I play Nikki often enough and am happy enough with the quality that I feel okay supporting the devs with the battle pass. And again, since the thing I bought is guaranteed for me, no gambling is at play at least. #InfinityEryn

Currently, I am allowing myself one unapologetic whale game, and that's Reverse: 1999. I spend a lot more on that game, but I have a budget for it at least. I know what I want to spend on and when, and I know what hard limit I want to stay below for the year on it. #InfinityEryn

All this said, this purchase is going in the gacha spending spreadsheet I set up for myself, which has proven very effective at keeping my spending habits in check. If I buy something, I need to put it in ✨💀 the spreadsheet 💀✨ And my brain wants to avoid that when possible. #InfinityEryn

It's good to set expectations when posting about gacha games so that other players aren't comparing their progress to yours and being like "Man, why don't I have all the cool stuff they do?" If the answer is that you had a financial advantage in the game, you should probably say so. #InfinityEryn

All the same, wanted to disclose that I'm no longer F2P anyway just because I feel like that's important with gacha games. Everything I posted up to the quoted post was done entirely for free resources. Anything after is now helped at least slightly by the purchase of paid resources. #InfinityEryn

Quote-posting this so I can keep the thread to just photos. So, I celebrated this milestone by, uh, finally breaking F2P. 😅

In my defense, it was for the battle pass (Mira Journey). I reached the final level, so I was guaranteed to get all the rewards. No gacha currency was purchased #InfinityEryn
Last batch for tonight: after a month-and-a-half of F2P play, I managed to complete my first permanent 5-star outfit and its evolution: Crystal Poems! Here are some pics of the standard version, the evolution, and a look I styled with the hair and some other pieces. #InfinityEryn

Had a good amount of diamonds when the new 4-stars came out recently and decided to go for the Verdant Melodies outfit! Not much to say about the styling since it's a preset outfit, but again, got some good photos with it. #InfinityEryn

I managed to get into a permanent "falling" pose while in the above outfit, which I managed to get some cool angles of. Man I wish my graphics settings were higher for these. #InfinityEryn

This outfit doesn't do much to alter the existing Fiery Glow outfit, just replaces a couple pieces with ones I like more. But I got some good photos in it while on the Firework Isles, so might as well post them. #InfinityEryn

This one I made a whole post on the IN subreddit about. I'm very much a resource optimizer in games like this, and I was feeling a little bored of the daily material grind, so decided to have a little fun. #InfinityEryn #InfinityNikki

Went even punkier with this fit, which is based around the infamous Reshaped Plaid boots. They're awesome boots! We just don't have a lot of pieces that go well with them. Decided to lean into more plaid items and angular shapes, which lead to this. #InfinityEryn

Next few outfits were inspired by seeing others styling with various "difficult" pieces. First up: the Bouldy sweater. Discovered that this black jacket actually stretches to go over the sweater, so created a cute schoolgirl Bouldy look! #InfinityEryn

Catching up on more Nikki photos! First up: got the black sky/floor background in the Realm of Nourishment, so used the opportunity to create a look with this 4-star dress. #InfinityEryn

Saved this one for last since I feel like it's the most hype Nikki photo I've taken so far. This was right after the first Caged Greed fight. #InfinityEryn #InfinityNikki

Made some slight updates to what is now my main traveling outfit. Mostly a different jacket and earrings, but just enough of a difference to make me even happier with it! #InfinityEryn

Found another fun cave spot, this one in a place where I could get Nikki submerged in water up to her waist while still being able to take photos. Made a sort of "Lady of the Lake" type look and had a short photoshoot here. #InfinityEryn

Some nice photos I got in the New Bloom Festival dress! #InfinityEryn

Found the following snapshot along my Bling collection route and had to stop and pay my respects. #InfinityEryn #InfinityNikki

And here is my outfit for Avicinda! I don't know his full deal yet, but I know... enough, let's say. 🙂 #InfinityEryn
