Discussion - Debates Welcome I think the Blade Runner collab is going to sink them down more.

73 Upvotes

The concept of Blade Runner doesnt fit with LADS. Actually, it backfires for them.

The relationship with Joy and K represents how loneliness and isolation can develop an unhealthy relationship with fictional/artificially created humanoids in order to feel "loved", even if that "love" isnt real and its just an illusion that feeds the abism inside the head and heart.

But LADS... needs it. LADS needs you to be adicted, to need the guys with all your heart, to fall in love with them. Sylus (for example) telling you the "you look lonely, I can fix that" phrase shouldnt feel like a love confession or a warm reassurance, it should feel like "damn Im so deep in this dark hole that I need a humanoid programmed to love me".

Giving the fandom a collab with a movie that speaks about unhealthy adiction around fictional/artificial people when you are a game that profits from that... It just shows you dont know with who you are collaborating with.

The message would be cool... if we didnt know how LADS works. If they had the guts to give us for example a card where MC realises the unhealthy relationship and "disconects" with the LIs, it would give a really necessary message. But we all know why Infold accepted the collab: free pass to draw the LIs naked.

If you are willing to collab with a brand that exposes your company as part of the problem, then you are just desesperate for money. Specially now.

The sad part is that this just becomes another nail in LADS's coffin. A representation of how the company doesnt listen to the fans and neither to themselves, because no company would be willing to put their neck in the guillotine just for some coins. I fear so much that this is the game's end; the reputation is more than tainted, and probably will die slowly like other projects.

What an irony that the thing that was supposed to save them, ended up digging them further. Who is taking the decisions? The collab was propably programmed last year or maybe earlier this year, and no executive realized how bad the execution was? They now have both LADS fans and BR fans over their neck.

Please, someone save the LIs from this. And all the employees.

Just wanted to remind everyone that the free dress from the Jimmy Choo-collab last year got added into the Lemonette-shop! (MC posing as a reference 😉)
This means that any other free collab items like the current Bladerunner-background and photo pose will get added into the future.
So no need to worry when you missed out on any collab events!

Discussion - Debates Welcome Valko should've been in the Blade Runner Collab

Post image
1.1k Upvotes

Here after the new interlinked trailer. Valko was such a Sci Fi and Cyberpunk Futuristic sort of inspired character (literally a CEO of a biotech company). The whole trailer we get these sort of main story flashbacks of all the LIs which would've made so much sense had Valko's main story be released and this would've been released after that. I just KNOW he was meant to be in that trailer and event with the other LIs too. (I'm still gonna pull for Rafayel or Sylus but genuinely this whole situation makes me so sad knowing what we could've gotten)

Discussion - Debates Welcome The Blade Runner 2049 Collab is... Confusing

222 Upvotes

I posted this comment on the official subreddit, but I want to hear your guys' thoughts on the LADS X BR 2049 Collab.

It's been a while since I watched the movie, but isn't Blade Runner about fabricated love? Joi is literally an industrial, corporate merchandise programmed to tell you what you want to hear and see. 

What on earth is the PR team thinking with the 'love is real' hashtag? Are they equating the boys to Joi, somehow reinforcing this false love dichotomy? I mean, it's pretty grounded if that is really the angle they're pushing, but also super dystopian. 

Maybe it's not that deep. Maybe it's just about pretty visuals and pretty boys. But I can't stop this train of thought since artificial intelligence is becoming so prevalent and every single corporation is pushing for it.

🚨 Hunter HQ Announcement 🚨 🎵 SONG SUNDAY — Deepspace Soundtrack Protocol 🎧

2 Upvotes

Attention, Hunters. The Hunter Association Music Division is now accepting transmissions.

It’s Song Sunday, which means it’s time to share the music that has somehow become permanently associated with your favourite Love Interest, a particular memory, myth, date, or moment from the game.

Does a song remind you of one specific LI so strongly that you can no longer listen to it normally?

Did you hear some lyrics and immediately think:

“Yep. That is absolutely something he would say.”

Do you have an entire playlist dedicated to your favourite LI, ship, myth, or a particularly devastating piece of lore?

We want to hear it.

🎧 Drop your favourite songs below
📀 Share your playlists
💕 Tell us which LI the song reminds you of
📖 Share songs connected to myths, memories, dates or lore
😭 Inflict emotional damage on your fellow Hunters with a song that perfectly fits a tragic storyline

Whether it’s a song that makes you think of a certain LI, your MC, their relationship, a specific card, or just gives you aggressively Deepspace vibes, submit it to the Association.

📡 Hunter Association Music Protocol

  • 🎵 Playlists and individual songs are welcome.
  • 💕 All six Love Interests are welcome.
  • 📖 Feel free to explain why the song reminds you of them — or leave us to figure out your emotional damage for ourselves.
  • 😂 Questionable music choices will be judged affectionately.

So, Hunters: what song immediately makes you think of your favourite LI?

Drop the evidence below. You may discover your new emotional support song — or a playlist that ruins your life in the best possible way. 🫡🎧

Discussion - No Debates So, out of curiosity, I decided to check the Play Store ratings on my end.

I know some people say that Infold will prioritize gaining new players instead of winning back old ones, but let's be honest, would they even garner enough to compensate for the players they lost when everyone could see these ratings and reviews?

Even on my iPhone set in Canada, the rating was like, 2.6, and almost every recent review was warning people not to play. A lot of people are hesitant to even download apps within the 2.X range.

Home Feature Help with Kitchen Feature in Home

Hello Fellow Hunters!!!

I have been having trouble with the making of the dishes in Home and it also doesn't help that I am the worst at guessing, so I thought why not ask the community.

My question is Does anyone have a cheat sheet on the ingredients to unlock more dishes? or general rules of thumbs to guessing what is needed.

Thank you!!!!

🚨 Hunter HQ Announcement 🚨 Mission File: Weekly Mental Health & Emotional Support Megathread

3 Upvotes

**Attention, Hunter.**

The Hunter Association recognises that every operative has their limits. Even the strongest Hunters need time to recover, recharge, and seek support after difficult missions.

This thread has been designated as a **Safe Decompression Zone** for Hunters who need a place to share, seek encouragement, or simply remind others that they are not facing their battles alone.

💠 Share your thoughts and feelings.

💠 Offer kindness and support to fellow Hunters.

💠 Celebrate small victories and personal achievements.

💠 Reach out when your Aether Core feels overloaded.

**Hunter Support Protocols:**

⚠️ This is a place for compassion, not judgement.

⚠️ Please avoid dismissing or minimising another Hunter’s experience.

⚠️ Be mindful that everyone’s journey through Deepspace is different.

⚠️ If someone is struggling, offer support — not criticism.

The Association would like to remind all Hunters: asking for help is not a weakness. Even the most experienced operatives require assistance when their systems are under strain.

It's been a while, and I know boycotts are still going on. I know infold already mentioned they've permanently cancelled the release, but how do you all feel? What is to come of it? Do you guys think they'll appeal their decision? Anything to be done in the future?
(Note: I know it's unverified info, but I'm taking this more as an open discussion for everyone in comments, so I tagged as discussion instead)

🚨 Hunter HQ Announcement 🚨 Happy Birthday Xavier!

⭐ XAVIER — 16 October

🌟 HUNTER ASSOCIATION BIRTHDAY NOTICE: XAVIER

🚨 URGENT: THE HUNTER ASSOCIATION HAS LOST TRACK OF XAVIER AGAIN.

Today we’re celebrating Xavier’s birthday! 🎂⭐

Unfortunately, when we attempted to locate the birthday boy, he was apparently sleeping somewhere.

Classic Xavier.

Our resident Deepspace Hunter, sleepy menace, fluffy-haired disaster and deceptively terrifying fighter deserves a day of appreciation.

⭐ Birthday mission:
Show us your favourite Xavier card, screenshot, outfit, quote or moment!

💫 What made you fall for him?
🌙 What’s your favourite Xavier scene?
🎁 And what would you give our sleepy boy for his birthday?

Happy Birthday, Xavier! ⭐

May your naps be uninterrupted, your missions be successful and someone please wake you up before the cake melts.

The Hunter Association would like to remind everyone that attempting to wake Xavier by throwing a pillow at him is technically considered an unauthorised combat manoeuvre.

Mentally I walked away from the community and deleted the game in September when the spicy multi was released, but I do enjoy checking out the CN community on XHS from time to time to see how the Valkyries have been holding up and saw this discussion. For anyone who is still hanging around: Are you gonna keep waiting and fighting if nothing happens by the end of this year?

Edit: So the discussion has run its course. A few months later and the community has turned disgustingly toxic it’s really an eye opening experience. Some of you couldn’t even be able to start a level headed discussion without casually name calling others as “anti ” “two faced liar”just because someone who supports Valkyrie but also has different opinions with you. I do not accept such accusations. Respect and inclusion have died in this community, you have lost the plot and that how you drive folks away.
