(spoiler alert)
Buddy system is this year's April Fool's joke, you roll your own gacha pet that you get to keep. There are legendary pulls.
They expect it to go viral on Twitter so they are staggering the reveals.
- JohnLocke4 7mo agoYou heard it here first
- ares623 7mo agoSo close to April Fool's too. I'm sure it will still be a surprise for a majority of their users.
- cmontella 7mo agolol that's funny, I have been working seriously [1] on a feature like this after first writing about it jokingly [2] earlier this year. The joke was the assistant is a cat who is constantly sabotaging you, and you have to take care of it like a gacha pet. The seriousness though is that actually, disembodied intelligences are weird, so giving them a face and a body and emotions is a natural thing, and we already see that with various AI mascots and characters coming into existence.

- hansonkd 7mo agoYou know, that would actually be pretty fun and cool. Like if you had home automation set up with a "pet assistant", but it would only follow your commands if you made sure to keep it happy.
- cmontella 7mo agoIf it could somehow only work if I maintain the kitchen sink and counter, then maybe I'd be motivated to keep the house clean. The gacha game trains you.
- financetechbro 7mo agoIs it just me or does MicroMika kinda resemble Rocky from Project Hail Mary?
- cmontella 7mo agohaha right! I think if I were to make Rocky though, there are a number of more geometric symbols. Maybe like ╭⬟╮
